âGet lost, youâre the dog!â Shen Qingyue rolled her eyes at her. âStrictly speaking, we havenât divorced yet. Weâre just waiting for him to follow me to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a certificate.â
Chen Ying stared at her for a while, then suddenly hugged her, excitedly saying, âYouâve finally come to your senses! Iâve been telling you all along that Qin Zhen, that scumbag, isnât worthy of you. You were like a blind fool, but now you finally look like a proper person. What are your conditions? Look at his attitude, doesnât he even consider his own worth? By the way, when are you getting the divorce certificate? Once you do, Iâll take you to find a man, whether itâs a young and naive guy, a playful guy, a muscular man, an athlete, a domineering CEO, a gentle gentleman, or a handsome ancient-style man⦠You name it, thereâs someone suitable for you!â
Shen Qingyue took a sip of water to calm herself. âForget it, itâs not clean.â
Chen Ying did not intend to let her off easily. âIâll take care of it, donât worry! The guys Iâll find for you are all decent, a hundred times better than that scumbagâ¦â
Perhaps it was because the two of them had made too much noise, Qin Zhen finally noticed them. When he looked over, Shen Qingyue also happened to raise her head.
Qin Zhen sneered and repeatedly mentioned divorce, but Wei Jiuâer could not sit still after returning to the country and followed him. It turned out that her decisive attitude was just an act. For some reason, he felt like the tension he had been feeling these past few days had eased a bit.
âZhen!â
Hearing someone calling him, Qin Zhen came back to his senses.â Whatâs wrong?â
Wei Jiuâer smiled gently. âIâm talking to you, but you havenât replied to me. What are you thinking about?â
âNothing,â Qin Zhen replied vaguely.
Unable to help herself, Wei Jiuâer turned around and spotted Shen Qingyue. She narrowed her eyes. âZhen, isnât that Shen Qingyue? I just returned to the country today, letâs go say hello to her.â
Qin Zhen paused for a moment and agreed.
Shen Qingyue and Chen Ying were looking at the menu when two shadows cast over them.
Wei Jiuâer maintained her perennial smile. âShen Qingyue, itâs been a long time.â
Shen Qingyue lifted an eyebrow at her. âOh, is this a date?â
âZhen and I are just having an ordinary meal,â Wei Jiuâer said with a smile. âDonât misunderstand.â
âTsk, are you afraid that Iâll misunderstand? Did you bring him here just to show off to the official wife? The mistress displaying her presence?â Shen Qingyue put down the menu and looked up at her.
The smile on Wei Jiuâerâs face froze.
Qin Zhenâs eyebrows furrowed tightly, enough to crush a fly. âShen Qingyue, stop causing trouble and talking nonsense.â
Shen Qingyue rolled her eyes. âHmm, Iâm causing trouble, am I? Well then, you two lovebirds, keep your distance from me.â
Wei Jiuâer looked aggrieved. âQingyue, weâre friends. Do you hate me?â
Shen Qingyue raised her head, âYeah, isnât it obvious enough? Even if youâre not blind, you should be able to tell, right?â
The air froze for a moment.
Shen Qingyue beckoned Chen Ying. âLetâs go, letâs eat somewhere else.â As she took a step forward, Wei Jiuâer deliberately stretched out her foot and tripped her.
Coincidentally, a waiter carrying a tray approached them. Shen Qingyue lost her balance and collided with the waiter. The tray in the waiterâs hand fell to the ground, the glass shattered, and red wine stained her dress.
Wei Jiuâer hurriedly acted âconcernedâ and said, âQingyue, are you okay? How could you be so carelessâ¦â
Shen Qingyue looked back at her and smiled. Then, he picked up the red wine on the table, pulled out the cork, raised it over Wei Jiuâerâs head, and poured it down.
The air seemed to freeze again
Qin Zhen snapped back to reality and immediately became furious, âShen Qingyue, what are you doing?!â
Shen Qingyue placed the wine bottle back on the table, still wearing a smile on her face, though it did not reach her eyes. âAre you blind too? Canât you see Iâm just returning the favor? Then, Miss Wei, if you bother me again, it wonât be just wine pouring over your head.â
After saying that, she prepared to leave with Chen Ying. However, after taking a few steps, she paused. âBy the way, please remind Miss Wei to urge Qin Zhen. Iâve already waited twice for the divorce matter. If he breaks his appointment again, I wonât be so easy to talk to.â
After leaving the hotel, Chen Ying was still reminiscing about what had just happened. âBaby, youâve really broadened my horizons! Isnât this love? Awesome!â
Shen Qingyue spoke coldly, âI think youâre getting a bit too fond of me. Control yourself.â They exchanged glances and both laughed.
As Chen Ying received a call from her mother and left first, Shen Qingyue was about to get into her car but was stopped by Qin Zhen. She coldly asked, âIs there something else, Mr. Qin?â
Qin Zhen suppressed his anger. âGo apologize to Jiuâer!â
Shen Qingyue looked at him. âAre you okay?â
Qin Zhen shouted, âDonât bully her just because Jiuâer is kind!â
