Wen Chaoben was in the mall. After receiving the prompt from Zou Qianen, he took the escalator to the floor and found the luxury goods store at the corner.

There are only a few customers in the store.

Wen Chao stood at the door and first glanced at Yu Jing who was close to the shelf by the door. He was slightly stunned and nodded to her naturally, saying hello.

Yu Jing looked at him with a close eye, trying hard to find a strange feeling from his face, but no. She could only barely suppress her ups and downs, tugged at the corner of her lips, and smiled back.

Zou Qianen turned her back to the door, noticing that Wenchao had arrived. She stood in front of the counter, and the clerk was packaging the things she bought for her, but she suddenly spoke out to stop her.

She only had a shopping bag, threw the small bag she carried on her body into the shopping bag, and carried the newly bought bag, declaring that the old bag was out of favor.

The clerk smiled and handed back her card and shopping receipt.

Wen Chao walked to her quietly and asked, "What did you buy?"

Zou Qianen was startled and turned to look at him: "Why are you here so quickly?"

As she finished speaking, she glanced out of the corner of her eyes and found that the woman had not left yet. Her eyes turned back to Wen Chao's face. Didn't he notice his ex-girlfriend here?

Wen Chao helped her carry the shopping bags: "I'm on the lower floor, and it's coming up very quickly."

"Oh." Zou Qianen turned sideways, raised the newly bought bag to show him, and answered his question just now, "I bought this one."

Wen Chao looked at the bag carefully. With his own lack of deep memory, he felt that he had seen this bag and hesitated: "Don't you have the same one?"

"You actually know?"

"I remember seeing you memorizing it."

Zou Qianen pursed her lips and chuckled softly: "The styles are the same, the colors are just similar. The one before was mint green, and this was pine and cypress green."

Wen Chao nodded and said that he had realized it. There was indeed a difference in the color depth: "Do you buy something else? I will accompany you around again. It's still early, so don't rush to have a meal."

He raised his wrist and showed her the watch.

Wen Chao felt a little sad about not being able to accompany her today. He proposed to go out for a date on the weekend, and it was him who broke the appointment, which seemed to him back on his word.

"I won't buy it." Zou Qianen took the opportunity to say, "I just swiped your card."

"Um?"

Zou Qianen pulled out the card in the card bag: "This one you gave me."

Wen Chao said indifferently: "It's yours that I give it to you, so don't report it to me."

Zou Qianen stuffed the card back into the card bag, her lips twitched, and she muttered. Wen Chao didn't hear it clearly, so she approached her and asked, and she shook her head and said nothing.

Standing not far away, Yu Jing saw the interaction between the two. Looking at their heads facing each other, a sense of imbalance in her heart inexplicably, accompanied by unwillingness.

The person standing next to Wen Chao should have been her. She wanted to return to China to develop and broke up with him. Her original intention was not to break up with him and never interact with each other. She thought he could reconsider her future plans, but the reality was that he agreed to break up with a very calm tone.

Seeing the two men coming out of the store, Yu Jing pinched her nails into her flesh and quickly chased after her: "A Chao."

Wen Chao stopped, Zou Qianen beside him had to stop, frowned slightly, and looked at the woman who was a few steps away from them.

A Chao, such an intimate name.

"Do you have time tonight? Let's have a meal together." Yu Jing held the hand of the shopping bag tightly, her face calmed like water, glanced at Zou Qianen, and smiled, "Ms. Zou can be together."

Zou Qianen heard it harshly.

The woman's words are like saying that she and Wen Chao are the same, and she is an outsider who is accompanied by the same.

Zou Qianen took a deep breath, held Wen Chao's arm, raised her head and looked straight at the woman in front of her: "I don't know what to call this lady."

Yu Jing smiled and looked at Wen Chao, but said to Zou Qianen: "Didn't A Chao introduce me to you?"

"He only told me about your breakup, but he didn't mention his name. He used the three words 'ex-girlfriend' to replace your name." Zou Qianen smiled and stabbed him back.

Wen Chao could feel Zou Qianen's displeasure and took the initiative to hold her hand, only to find that her fingertips were a little cold. He clenched it tightly and said frankly: "She is Yu Jing. You have seen it in the hotel that night."

The following sentence is a little redundant. Based on Zou Qianen's current performance, she obviously recognized Yu Jing.

Wen Chao thought that he had said that night very clearly. Even earlier, when he broke up with Yu Jing, he said all the things he should say. He agreed that he would nod to meet in the future.

He did that just now, nodding to Yu Jing as saying hello, and there was no need to say anything else.

However, Yu Jing did not seem to plan to fulfill the agreement.

Zou Qianen showed a sudden realization expression: "It turns out it is Miss Yu. Is there anything wrong with Miss Yu looking for my fiancé? If you are going to talk about work, then I won't disturb you. If it's a private matter, I don't think there is anything to talk about, after all, it's all the things in the past."

Yu Jing frowned slightly and looked at Wen Chao.

Wen Chao followed Zou Qianen's words: "Why would Miss Yu talk about what's wrong with me first."

Yu Jing looked at him in disbelief, and he called her Miss Yu?

——

Yu Jing left in a hurry without saying a word of farewell.

Zou Qianen looked at her back as she walked away and breathed a sigh of relief. There was no trace of pleasure as a winner, but only deeper depression and loss.

Wen Chao shook her hand: "Let's go for dinner?"

Zou Qianen came back a little and looked at him with a smile: "Okay."

Wen Chao could see that her smile was a little reluctant. She really didn't have such eyes when she smiled. Her eyes were very beautiful, and they didn't look like the moon when they bent, like a clear lake.

The two appeared in the rotating restaurant in the air, with huge floor-to-ceiling glass windows on three sides. When they were inside, they felt a sense of ethereal as if they were to embrace the galaxy from the sky.

Wen Chao knew that Zou Qianen was not afraid of heights, so he booked a location next to the window in advance.

She was extremely silent, holding her cheek and looking at the view outside the floor-to-ceiling window. It was still early, the sky was not completely blocked, and it was a kind of vagueness that was half light and half dark.

When the appetizer was served, Zou Qianen retracted his gaze and focused on the food, a meal that was so exquisite that it could be described as a work of art.

Wen Chao held a knife and fork and asked bluntly: "I'm in a bad mood? Because of Yu Jing? Or because of me?"

"Ah?" Zou Qianen didn't expect him to be so direct. He raised his eyes and looked stunned. After reacting, she strongly denied, "No, I'm not in a bad mood."

"I met her abroad."

"I know……"

"Listen to me." Wen Chao put the knife and fork back to the side of the dining plate and looked at her intently. "The first time I met her was in a bookstore, which was a membership system. I forgot to bring the card. She lent her card to me. As a thank you, I invited her to dinner..."

This is how the two met each other. Later, they met in that bookstore from time to time. They accidentally found that the books they read overlapped 80% and felt that they were destined to be together.

In addition to his master's degree, Wen Chao also has to take into account overseas careers. He is very busy and wishes to make full use of every minute and every second. Therefore, he spends little time going to the bookstore. Coincidentally, he meets Yu Jing every time.

After a while, the two became familiar with each other, crossed the boundaries of strangers and became friends who could say a few words.

In their spare time, they went to the concert together, worked in the coffee shop, and had dinner together.

It was a natural process for the two to get together, plain and soothing. After they were together, there was no quarrel or a passionate feeling. They broke up quietly and didn't even hear a muffled thunder.

Wenchao's narrative is very logical, and he can't talk nonsense, and he tells it along the timeline.

If the male protagonist of the story was not him, Zou Qianen thought that he would listen with relish.

She thought of what Yu Jing said in that luxury store: I didn’t expect that my tastes are so similar to this lady.

It seems that the person who is truly similar to Yu Jing's taste is Wen Chao. When she learned that they even had such a high overlap rate of reading materials, she felt a little inferiority complex in her heart.

She has never been a book lover, nor does she like concerts, operas, etc.

Wen Chao summarized the statement: "There are only these things between her and me. I told you the reason for the breakup. We have a disagreement about future plans."

Perhaps earlier, there were signs of breaking up between them. The half year before the breakup was his busiest time, and it was common for him to stay all night long. He didn't have much time to accompany his girlfriend. Yu Jing never quarreled with him, but the seeds of parting were planted in his heart.

It's a matter of time before separation.

The waiter brought the meals ordered by the two of them one after another, opened a bottle of red wine stored here by Wen Chao, and poured half a cup of them each.

"I told you this because I don't want to hide anything from you." Wen Chao picked up the red wine next to him and took a sip. "It was an accident today, and I will avoid it in the future."

Zou Qianen blinked her mouth and swallowed a sip of the steak: "I originally wanted to remind you, but... I'm too lazy to say it."

"Have you ever communicated?" Wen Chao asked.

"I just said a few words." Zou Qianen couldn't hide the matter, and told the truth, "She snatched the pair of shoes I like and told me that we have similar tastes in picking things. I think she may not have any feelings for you."

Wen Chao paused while holding the goblet, and his eyebrows moved: "Which pair of shoes?"

"Forget it, I don't like it anymore." Zou Qianen shrugged and pulled the steak with a knife. The exquisite makeup on her face was extremely outstanding under the light, especially her eyes and lips, which were shining. She lowered her eyes slightly and said sincerely, "I'm not angry either, I just don't like the hostility she showed towards me. When I read novels and TV series, the plot that I annoyed is that the female supporting role doesn't look for the male lead when encountering problems, and insists on being unable to get along with the female lead. What's the matter with the female lead?"

Wen Chao was silent and looked at her steadily.

"Am I wrong?" Zou Qianen blinked, and the sequins on her eyelids flashed, "If Miss Yu still has feelings for you, she should look for you. What is it to target me?"

She ate a bite of steak every time she said, and never treated her mouth unfairly: "But, I have agreed in advance that if you have a rekindled relationship one day, you must tell me in advance. Even if the marriage is declared invalid, I will declare it."

"No." Wen Chao was determined.

Zou Qianen nodded and after solving a steak, she started eating vegetable salad and said with a clear mind: "It's really a bit difficult. I've learned about it with my brother. At present, the cooperation between the two families of the Zou family has a total of tens of billions of investment in the 13th phase. The interests are too deeply involved and it is impossible to cut them off easily. Even if I am willing, my family will not let me be willful at this point."

Her tone of speaking was quite light, but she could hear that the heart was pricked.

He liked Zou Qianen's carefree and innocent laughter. The one in front of him made him want to cover her with a glass house to isolate the troubles from the outside world.

"Hmm?" Zou Qianen's eyes were confused, "Why don't you eat it? The steak will taste bad if it cools down."

After Wenchao took a few bites, Zou Qianen was very full. After the meal, she took a detour to buy the fried chicken collarbone she liked. She was so happy that she showed such a satisfying and innocent smile.
