Bo Xuan was actually quite handsome too, with gentle facial features like jade and deep, tender eyes. He had a tall figure, and his taste in clothes was impeccable.
Dressed in a light beige casual shirt paired with crisp slacks, he was the epitome of a warm-hearted man in the eyes of young girls. The Bo Family was also in the apparel business, operating a leading brand in men's fashion domestically. After her parents passed away, it was he who had been by her side, taking care of her, casually helping her manage Yunshang.
Her original plan was to hand over all the remaining shares to him after they got married.
From then on, she would become his full-time wife; reflecting on it now, she realized how foolish that idea was!
He did indeed take good care of her, even taking care of her cousin Tingting's physical needs.
When she lifted her head again, her face was already adorned with her once gentle and tender smile.
"Oh, right, Xuan, didn't you say you would accompany me to try on wedding dresses today?"
Just then, Bo Xuan's phone rang. He glanced at her and said, "Wait for a moment, I need to take this call!"
He stood outside the door talking on the phone. She pretended to fetch some water to get closer and accidentally overheard Chi Tingting's coquettish voice.
"Honey, I'm tired from shopping. Come pick me up!"
A term of endearment with each call, she sounded warmer and more intimate than Chi Xiaoyu, his legitimate fiancée. Chi Xiaoyu felt an icy chill in her heart.
After a long while, Bo Xuan hung up and came back into the hall. Chi Xiaoyu had already returned to her seat on the sofa, sipping tea.
"Are you ready? I called the bridal shop to make an appointment. Let's go together!"
"Xiao Yu, how about we do it another day? I've got some important matters to deal with right now!"
Bo Xuan hesitated for a moment, as his heart had already made a decision.
Heh, so Chi Tingting was his "important matter".
So how many times had he used this kind of excuse before?
Chi Tingting had moved into the Chi Family home four years ago. When exactly did their affair start?
Now that she thought about it, there had been signs. Whenever she and Bo Xuan went to the movies, Tingting insisted on tagging along.
On her birthday, Bo Xuan would give her a gift, but he also prepared presents for Tingting's birthday...
Yet she had never read too much into his kindness towards Tingting.
Suddenly, Chi Xiaoyu called out to him, "Bo Xuan, did you ever love me?"
Bo Xuan stopped in his tracks, walked over to her, and earnestly placed his hands on her shoulders looking into her eyes, "Xiao Yu, what's wrong with you today, acting so strange?"
"I just feel that whatever important matter you have, how can it be more important than trying on a wedding dress?"
Bo Xuan's expression changed slightly, "Xiao Yu, look at you, you're about to become a bride. How can you still be so thoughtless? A man has many social obligations outside. You need to be more understanding, okay?"
Understanding!! Heh, yes, she would be understanding. She would make sure to let him have a taste of his own medicine.
Standing still, she watched as Bo Xuan hurriedly left.
In Chi Xiaoyu's heart, there was only coldness.
In a simple student apartment outside the campus of South University in City S.
This was Xia Xixi's rental place. The small room was dominated by a bed and a large desk, which took up all the space. Meals were usually eaten in the kitchen.
"Xixi, can I stay here for a while?"
"Aren't you about to marry Bo Xuan?"
Chi Xiaoyu set down her suitcase, opened it, and took out all her design drawings and pencils...
"You were right, Xixi. I shouldn't have trusted him so much."
Chi Xiaoyu sat down, a drafting pencil clenched in her mouth, bent over continuing to flip through her drawings.
Xia Xixi leaned in closer and asked, "What's going on? You were so set on getting married that you didn't even want to participate in your graduation ceremony. Why are you suddenly working so hard?"
Chi Xiaoyu gave a wry smile, propped her chin with one hand, and shook her head, "...Bo Xuan cheated!"
"What? Who's that vixen?"
Chi Xiaoyu gritted her teeth for a long time before she said, "It's someone you'd never expect, Chi Tingting!"
