Beijing Marriage Entanglement

Lu Xingci glanced at the message Shen Yu had sent.

She didn't even want to talk to Song Qinghui anymore, let alone her cousin.

So after transferring the money, she immediately blocked Shen Yu.

Hilarious! How old are you? Still using emoticons to act cute?

After transferring the money, she ordered her own dinner, which she ate with great relish.

A dinner costing 13,000 yuan? That hurts!

The more you feel sorry for yourself, the more you should indulge in your food; you can't let yourself suffer.

Consider it a celebration that I cut my losses in time and didn't let Song Qinghui ruin my life.

Lu Xingci finished all the dishes and his stomach was bulging.

She leaned back in her chair and hiccuped.

Now that I've decided to break up with Song Qinghui, I need to change jobs too.

Otherwise, if you break up, you'll still feel uncomfortable seeing each other all the time at the company.

Lu Xingci moved from the dining table to the sofa and lay down there.

My body sank into the soft sofa cushions, and I felt as if I were floating on clouds.

One word: awesome!

She rolled over, lay on her side, and opened several job application apps to look for suitable positions.

She majored in fashion design in college so that she could find a good job in the future.

My minor in animation design was purely a personal hobby; I never intended it to become a job, so naturally I didn't pursue it.

After graduation, I joined Song Qinghui's company and worked as a fashion designer for three years.

She has great taste and is willing to work hard.

Eight or nine out of ten of the company's best-selling products each season are her creations.

She thought that this work experience would be enough for her to find a good job.

However, after going through the selection process, the requirements were either a master's degree or an overseas study background.

Or it could be an award-winning experience in a well-known fashion design competition.

Lu Xingci had none of these.

After hesitating for a moment, Lu Xingci thought of Tang Peiyun, a professional headhunter he had met last year.

Last year, several of Lu Xingci's designs became bestsellers, and she gained some fame in the industry.

In October, a headhunter contacted her and asked if she was interested in changing jobs.

The salary and benefits were all higher than what Song Qinghui offered.

But at the time, Lu Xingci only had her boyfriend Song Qinghui in her heart, and she rejected him without thinking.

At the moment, Lu Xingci didn't feel embarrassed at all.

As adults, we have to put aside our pride in order to gain substance.

Making money is nothing to be ashamed of.

She took the initiative to contact Tang Peiyun and asked her to have lunch together the next day.

The other party naturally understood her meaning and readily agreed.

We agreed on it, and I was still feeling full.

Lu Xingci couldn't stay idle, so he did a thorough cleaning of the house in the middle of the night.

By the time I lay down, completely exhausted, the food I had eaten was barely digested.

On the other end.

Inside a private room on the third floor of the club.

Shen Yu was dragged off to play cards by his friend right after sending the message.

The phone is on my right, the screen is locked, but the sound is on.

I can know immediately when news comes in.

He played cards absentmindedly, glancing at his phone every now and then.

The screen keeps unlocking, turning off, then unlocking again, turning off.

"What's wrong, Brother Yu? Is it urgent?"

Yuan Jitong, a friend on the left, asked a question.

Jiang Lin, sitting to his right, chuckled and teased.

"Yeah, Brother Yu, your eyes are glued to your phone the whole time. Anyone who didn't know better would think you're worried about your wife checking up on you."

Sitting opposite him, his childhood friend Duan Lingfeng suppressed a smug smirk.

"Could it be Miss Qin?"

Didn't you go on a blind date with her today?

"You seem so distracted, are you two together?"

Upon hearing this, the sexy woman sitting next to Shen Yu's face darkened for a moment.

She turned her head, her eyes filled with adoration and reluctance, and tentatively asked.

"Are you going to marry Miss Qin?"

Having finally climbed to such a high branch, she thought she could soar to great heights and become a phoenix.

I never imagined that in just two days, I would be brought back to reality.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yu picked up his phone.

He raised his hand and patted the woman's face, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask."

He was clearly smiling, and his tone was casual, languid, and magnetic.

But the sexy woman's smile froze, and a chill ran through her heart.

Shen Yu got up, took his phone, and walked out.

The signal in this private room must be bad, otherwise why haven't they replied yet?

Behind him, Duan Lingfeng turned around and shouted at his back.

"The game isn't over yet, where are you going?"

Shen Yu didn't even turn his head.

"Go out for a smoke and get some fresh air."

Jiang Lin frowned suspiciously. "If you want to smoke, go inside. Why do you have to go outside?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Yuan Jitong kicked him under the table, a wicked grin on his face.

"You don't understand. He didn't go to smoke; he clearly went to make a phone call."

They're afraid we'll hear them.

The group looked at each other, then burst into laughter.

It seems that Shen Yu and Miss Qin's relationship is settled.

The Qin family's young lady, Qin Leyao, fell in love with Shen Yu at first sight many years ago and became infatuated with him.

Over the years, he had tried to get close to Shen Yu both openly and secretly, but without exception, Shen Yu ignored him.

Everyone knew that although Shen Yu had had many women over the years, they were all just casual flings.

He always harbored feelings for a girl.

They don't know the specifics, but it seems they've come to terms with it and let it go.

Otherwise, how would Qin Leyao have had the opportunity to sit and eat with Shen Yu?

Duan Lingfeng looked up at the female companion Shen Yu had brought and suddenly became serious.

"What are you still sitting here for? Are you waiting for Miss Qin to come knocking on your door and tear you apart?"

He gave a meaningful smile.

"That's no pushover."

Upon hearing this, the sexy woman's face darkened, and she picked up her bag and left dejectedly.

After leaving the private room, Shen Yu went down to the first floor.

There is a secluded little garden behind the clubhouse.

When the night is deep and quiet, with a gentle breeze and swaying moonlight, it is a peaceful and pleasant place.

Unfortunately, Shen Yu was restless and unable to calm down.

He sat languidly on the wooden bench, his long legs crossed.

The orange light shone down, casting a warm hue over his cool and handsome profile.

He tilted his head, his thin, sensual lips nibbling at a cigarette.

With a "snap" sound, the flames leaped.

A touch of scarlet flickered in the darkness.

He exhaled a long, slow puff of smoke, fiddling with the phone in his right hand.

The phone was still running and the signal was at full strength.

But it was as quiet as if it were dead.

Shen Yu felt irritated and couldn't help but wonder if she was with Song Qinghui and therefore unable to reply to messages.

According to what we've heard, Song Qinghui was called home by his mother to go on a blind date, wasn't he?

The thought that the two of them might be together, late at night, and possibly doing what they did last night, was unbearable.

Shen Yu's restless heart began to stir.

He was smoking, his face grim, like the calm before a storm.

The finger quickly edits the message, trying to probe indirectly.

"Sis, you're giving me so much, how about a yearly subscription? I promise I won't let my brother know."

Even if they are together, they must be separated.

Since he'd already provoked her, he wasn't afraid to steal her away.

He confidently clicked send, eager to know what kind of storm this message would stir up for Lu Xingci and Song Qinghui.

But the next second, a glaring red exclamation mark appeared on the screen.

[Sorry, you are not friends with this person yet. Please add them as a friend first.]

Shen Yu was stunned for a moment, then his shimmering peach blossom eyes curved slightly, and he smiled casually.

"ha."

Dare to block him?

Is that all you want to do to distance yourself and get rid of yourself?

What to do? He's like a venomous snake; once he's coiled around you, he'll never let go.
