“You know it! You know how long I’ve looked for her! You know how much I like her! Why must you snatch her from me?! Aren’t we good friends?!”
Fu Mingxuan, who was known for being a gentle and cultured man, had never raised his voice, yet it was as though he were another person as he roared at him without a care for his image .
Ji Ziming did not know how to respond to him .
Even if he was apathetic and cold in other’s eyes, he was truly not heartless to those who treated him sincerely .
If it were someone else, he would likely turn around and leave . He would not stay here and listen to him speak .
“The amount of envy I have for you is equal to the amount of hate I have for you . Clearly, I saw her first, but you still snatched her away from me…”
Fu Mingxuan’s eyes were dyed with sorrow and hurt, as well as a tinge of complex jealousy .
“Don’t you already have Qiao Jingyun? Can you please return my girl to me?”
Seeing him remain silent even after a long while, he sucked in a deep breath and calmed himself as he spoke with pleading in his voice .
Alas, his actions only served to make the man’s expressionless face turn cold .
“I don’t want to hear this from you again . She’s the woman I love, so I won’t give her up to anybody . ”
Ji Ziming regarded his childhood friend with narrowed eyes .
“You are my good friend . I can give you anything, but only her I won’t ever give up or let go . ”
With that, he opened the door and alighted from the car .
“I will treat it as if nothing happened today . In the future, please also forget my fiancée . ”
Pak!
Shutting the door, he strode away from the car .
Fu Mingxuan watched him leave with pursed lips . His eyes were entirely dark, making one unable to perceive his thoughts through them .
When the traffic light turned green and the cars behind him honked repeatedly, he retracted his gaze and stepped on the gas .
He understood that, after this incident, their friendship would never be the same .
Even if they wanted to reconcile, it would not be as it was in the past . Moreover, what he was about to do next would cause an irreparable divide between them…
Still, he would not and refused to regret this at all .
“You started this . You destroyed my chance to confess…”
He stopped the car by the roadside, a conflicted look surfacing on his face . It was as if he were painfully at war with himself .
As he hugged his head and fought his inner demons, his phone rang .
He released his hands to pick it up . When he spotted the caller ID, a light furrow appeared between his brows and his eyes flashed with distaste .
Despite the clear disgust and disdain coloring his face, he still connected the call .
“Hey, I heard that Ziming asked you guys out for a drink tonight . Did he find something out?”
Qiao Jingyun on the other end quickly revealed her intentions for calling .
“Hur! You’re really a piece of work . Don’t tell me that you have someone tailing him?”
Instead of replying, he coldly mocked .
“Of course, I hired some people to tail him . Hur hur! What right do you have to mock me? Don’t forget that we are in the same boat now . ”
The woman was not about to back down and replied sarcastically .
“…” He tightened his grip on his phone and kept mum .
“I know that you don’t like me, and I don’t like you, too, yet we’re now partners, so let’s try to cooperate harmoniously, alright? Now, tell me why he called you guys out . I don’t think it’s just as simple as having a drink . ”
He coldly snorted before revealing, “He only informed us that he’s going to get engaged next week . ”
“What?! He’s getting engaged next week?! With whom?!” she exclaimed in shock .
“Who do you think?”
“Pei Ge!”
She said that name through gritted teeth, her voice filled with hate and jealousy .
He could picture her ugly visage from just her voice alone .
Her entire face is probably warped .
“How did their engagement party get brought forward? This shouldn’t happen…”
“Hur hur . Maybe it’s because your plan ‘succeeded,’” he mocked .
“Yes! You were too obvious, so he must’ve taken caution…”
She nearly lost her rationality at this news, but she soon calmed down when she heard his words .
Not only was she calm now, she even found a breakthrough point .
“It’s actually good that their engagement was brought forward…”
She started laughing smugly . “This way, our plan can be brought forward . She’ll then leave my man earlier…”
He could not help but scoff . “Hah! Even if they’re not together, do you think that he’d date you?”
“He will; he will . I am his benefactor… Plus, if not for that woman’s appearance, I would’ve already become his official girlfriend and even be the Ji family’s new madam . ”
As long as Pei Ge disappears…
“Achoo!”
Pei Ge, who had just finished showering and picked up her phone to make a call, sneezed at this moment .
She rubbed her nose, not thinking much of it, and continued dialing a number
