So much time had pa.s.sed since that matter occurred, but Xu Weilai remained the b.u.t.t of her social circle’s jokes.

Fortunately, she was already somewhat numb to such words. However, throughout these three years, it would be a bald-faced lie if she said she wasn’t curious about why Gu Yu had broken the engagement after sleeping with her.

During these three years, she often looked back into the past. She couldn’t help but wonder just what the reason was as to why Gu Yu had suddenly turned so heartless toward her after a blissful night of pa.s.sion.

In the period of time after his car accident, he had warmed up toward her. She had even caught a hint of indulgence in his eyes, occasionally, when he was looking at her. He had also taken her along with him during important functions and out to meet his friends, which was akin to a silent acknowledgment that she was his fiancée.

Was this statement she just heard the answer?

Had he broken his engagement with her because of Su Ziqian?

As she was deep in her thoughts, she suddenly caught a glimpse of her father looking for her with an unsmiling expression. She finished the rest of her champagne in one gulp and got up to avoid him. She headed into the restroom at the end of the corridor.

Xu Weilai turned on the tap and took her time was.h.i.+ng her hands. The door to the restroom suddenly opened, and a beautiful figure walked in. The lady scanned her surroundings with a serious look in her eyes.

Su Ziqian glanced at Xu Weilai instinctively. For a moment, their eyes almost met. Almost.

She walked up to her side and opened her handbag to retrieve her lipstick. She looked at her reflection in the mirror as she applied it.

Xu Weilai raised her head and looked forward. She observed Su Ziqian through the mirror. She was even more beautiful in person than she was in print. Her eyes were bright and round with a mesmerizing glint, and her lips were deliciously pink and kissable.

She was tender, beautiful, and delicate.
