Su Qingli Arrives

"Yanyan, how could you be so foolish? He loves you so much; how could he bear to leave you?"

"Do you think Lu Han came here for no reason?"

"Didn't he come here knowing we were gathering today, just to give both you and himself a way out?"

"But don't blame him."

"On such an important day as your two-year anniversary, you ignored it. Even if you feel guiltless, leaving him to accompany me was wrong. Shouldn't Lu Han be angry?"

Ling Mo deliberately brought up sensitive topics and then turned his gaze to Lu Han, gritting his teeth, "I know my presence has caused you trouble."

"So, what if I promise this:"

"If you forgive Yanyan and reconcile with her, I'll make sure never to appear in front of her again."

After saying this, Ling Mo put on a sorrowful and aggrieved expression.

The power of unrequited love finally showed its effect; Chu Ruoyan was almost moved to tears.

"Ling Mo, please stop."

Chu Ruoyan's voice trembled, "Lu Han just misunderstood. He isn't that petty..."

Ling Mo waved his hand, pretending to be nonchalant, "Yanyan, it doesn't matter to me."

"I've already hurt you once; how could I bear to see you hurt again because of me?"

"As long as you and Lu Han can be happy, I'd even give my life without hesitation."

Lu Han watched Ling Mo's performance silently. This tactic of retreating to advance was truly high-level. Whether or not others believed it, Chu Ruoyan seemed convinced.

"Your level of 'green tea' (a term used to describe manipulative behavior) is even higher than a sophisticated 'green tea bitch.' Today, I've seen it all."

Lu Han couldn't help but applaud sarcastically, "But calling her 'Yanyan' right in front of me shows how little you care about me, doesn't it?"

Ling Mo's face changed slightly, apologizing, "Sorry, I'm used to calling her that. It's hard to change."

"Whether it's hard to change or intentional, you know best."

Lu Han sneered, "Also, drop the self-righteousness. Who said I came here specifically to wait for you?"

As if to confirm something, at that moment, a rumbling sound approached from afar.

A pink Lamborghini appeared in their view and stopped in front of Lu Han.

The car door opened, and a youthful, beautiful woman stepped out.

She first looked at Lu Han, then sized up Chu Ruoyan and Ling Mo, her gaze becoming playful.

Finally, she looked at Lu Han, smiling faintly, "It seems I arrived at an inconvenient time?"

The newcomer was Su Qingli.

She had a stunningly beautiful face, with long hair cascading down her shoulders.

Dressed in a tight business suit, her chest was prominently perky, contrasting sharply with her slender waist.

Her legs, encased in black stockings, were long and straight, and she wore diamond-studded high heels, making her already tall figure appear even more slender.

This face, this body—simply perfect!

Lu Han had thought the photos might have been enhanced with beauty filters, but meeting her in person, he realized Su Qingli looked even better than in the pictures.

While Chu Ruoyan was also beautiful, compared to Su Qingli, she paled in comparison.

It seemed the old man hadn't exaggerated; Jiangcheng's number one beauty lived up to her reputation.

"Miss Su, are you... are you talking to Lu Han?"

Chu Ruoyan naturally recognized Su Qingli, looking puzzled. When did Lu Han get acquainted with this Su family princess?

Beside her, Ling Mo clenched his fists tightly.

This woman driving a sports car clearly belonged to the top echelon of wealthy beauties. How did Lu Han meet her?

Wasn't he just an ordinary guy?

According to Chu Ruoyan, he was just an employee at a software company, placed there by the boss to curry favor with her.

Why does Lu Han deserve her?

At that moment, jealousy burned fiercely in Ling Mo's heart.

"Of course, we know each other."

Su Qingli nodded gently, her tone ambiguous, "I came here especially to see him today."

Chu Ruoyan stiffened, standing frozen on the spot.

Especially to see Lu Han?

What did that mean?

"Yanyan, I think I understand now," Ling Mo said in a low voice. "It seems Lu Han wasn't joking about breaking up with you."

"He must have had someone else in mind for a long time and planned to leave you all along."

"Since you accompanied me to the concert, giving him an excuse to break up with you, even if it gets out, no one will blame him."

Ling Mo was undoubtedly annoyed by Lu Han's popularity with women, but he suddenly realized that this situation presented him with a golden opportunity to completely separate Chu Ruoyan from Lu Han!

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Chu Ruoyan nearly lost her balance, murmuring, "Impossible, Lu Han isn't like that."

"Not like what?"

Ling Mo sneered, "Maybe he chased after you back then just for your money."

"Yanyan, look at how he abandoned you without hesitation once he found someone prettier and richer."

"It's such a pity you liked him so much; I really feel sorry for you!"

Rationally, Chu Ruoyan knew Lu Han wasn't as terrible as Ling Mo described.

Over the past two years, Lu Han had treated her exceptionally well, almost to the point of being overly attentive. It didn't seem fake at all.

But seeing Lu Han make no effort to defend himself, his gaze remaining cold, she couldn't help but believe some of Ling Mo's words.

Chu Ruoyan's voice trembled as she asked, "Lu Han, tell me, is what Ling Mo said true?"

She needed to hear it from Lu Han himself.

"Hmph, think whatever you want," Lu Han said indifferently. He turned to Su Qingli, forcing a smile, "Sorry, I had some personal matters to deal with. Sorry for the embarrassment."

Su Qingli smiled faintly, "No problem, I just find it amusing. I don't really care about these things."

Lu Han nodded, "Let's go then."

He didn't even glance at Chu Ruoyan again, offering Su Qingli a polite gesture.

As they were about to enter the restaurant, Ling Mo's malicious voice called out from behind them.

"Miss, I advise you to open your eyes wide."

"I don't know what's so good about Lu Han, but maybe in a while, you'll end up like Chu Ruoyan!"

"He can abandon Chu Ruoyan for you today, and tomorrow he might abandon you for another woman!"

By the end, Ling Mo was almost shouting in frustration.

He was not only pretending to stand up for Chu Ruoyan but also venting his intense jealousy.

However, neither Lu Han nor Su Qingli seemed to hear him at all.

They didn't pause their steps for even a second, disappearing from both Ling Mo's and Chu Ruoyan's sight.

Inside the elegantly decorated private room on the top floor, Lu Han very gentlemanly pulled out a chair for Su Qingli.

"Thank you."

Su Qingli sat down gracefully. Once Lu Han settled across from her, she looked at him with a complicated expression, "Young Master Lu, are you satisfied with my appearance?"
