Chapter 79: The Calmer You Are, The More Painful It Is!
At the same time, they also cast strange glances at Shi Caining. Those gazes were filled with suspicion, jealousy, and envy.
Shi Caining was already used to it. In any case, when she walked together with Gu Kuangen, she received such reactions.
After the two of them left the shopping mall, they headed straight for the parking lot.
Just as they got off the elevator, a man and a woman walked towards them.
The man was wearing a black coat with a collar that made the lines of his face even colder. His entire body was flowing with the noble aura that Shi Caining was familiar with.
The woman was charming and mature, beautiful and dignified.
When they saw Shi Caining, they could not help but stop in their tracks.
They were Qiao Chengchuan and Yu Shuangwei.
Yu Shuangwei glanced at Gu Kuangen and her gaze landed on Shi Caining. "Caining, I didn't expect to meet you here."
Shi Caining looked at her indifferently. "What a coincidence, Miss Yu, Mr. Qiao."
Her address was completely unfamiliar. It made it seem like she and Qiao Chengchuan were strangers who had met once before.
Qiao Chengchuan's expression darkened, and the lines on his lips tightened.
Gu Kuangen laughed lightly. "Qiao Chengchuan, you two are getting married soon, right?"
Qiao Chengchuan's face turned pale. He silently looked at Shi Caining and moved his lips, but in the end, he did not say anything.
Shi Caining thought that she and Qiao Chengchuan would not meet again, but she did not expect to meet him on the streets.
"We might get married in half a year... Mr. Gu, you're welcome to attend our wedding... As for Caining, I'm sorry. I'm the master of this." Yu Shuangwei looked apologetically at Shi Caining, a hint of pride flashing through her eyes.
Shi Caining pursed her lips and smiled bitterly. "It's alright."
"I'm sorry, I might not be able to attend your wedding. If I were to appear, I would naturally have to bring a female companion. And the female companion would definitely be Caining." Gu Kuangen's lips twitched coldly as he swept a disdainful glance at the silent Qiao Chengchuan.
"Young Master Qiao, I hope you'll work hard and don't let me beat you." Gu Kuangen said something only Qiao Chengchuan understood.
Qiao Chengchuan raised his eyebrows coldly. "I won't lose to you, but... I also hope that everything you say is true."
Gu Kuangen's eyes shone with a cold light. "If you still think like this, I only want to say - Qiao Chengchuan, you're really incompetent!"
Qiao Chengchuan's gaze was filled with darkness.
Yu Shuangwei quickly tried to smooth things over. "Mr. Gu, it's too bad that you can't come, but I hope you can show some respect to Chengchuan. After all, your upbringing isn't just that, right?"
Gu Kuangen snorted coldly, disdainfully replying to Yu Shuangwei.
Qiao Chengchuan stood there coldly, his gaze glued to Shi Caining's body.
The calmer she was, the more his heart ached.
He still remembered that year when she was so young and bright, cheerful and lively, he was also so happy and blissful. The two of them had once browsed the scenery of the mountains and rivers together; they had once rolled on the grass together and passionately kissed.
He almost broke through her defense line. If she hadn't persevered, now... Wouldn't he be in even more pain?
"Chengchuan, let's go. Your clothes are too few. I'll buy you a few more coats," Yu Shuangwei said softly.
Qiao Chengchuan returned to his senses and withdrew his eyes. It was as if it was the first time he had seen her since he returned to China. His eyes were extremely cold.
But now, he did not know whether it was love, hatred, regret, or...
"We're leaving too. We still have to go to work after resting for an hour," Shi Caining said indifferently.
Gu Kuangen embraced Shi Caining's waist and suddenly gently kissed her face.
