“Ziming, you’re finally here!”

As she spoke, Qiao Jingyun tried to wrap herself around his arm.

However, before she could touch him, he moved away seamlessly.

A dark light flashed across her eyes when she saw his actions, but she quickly put on her sweet demeanor from before.

“I’m starving; you took so long.”

She followed him and started whining.

“You could’ve eaten first.” He glanced at her plainly. His eyes showed no trace of joy or excitement upon seeing her.

As if dealing with another stranger, he was calm and collected.

Those slightly familiar with him knew that the way he behaved toward this woman was proof that he still cared about her.

This was as long as no one made comparisons.

When he was facing Pei Ge, his gaze was always gentle and tender, but when he looked at this woman, there was only coldness.

“I waited because I want to eat with you.” Qiao Jingyun pouted at him the way a young girl would.

“Okay, okay! Let’s sit down; I’m really hungry. I came to see you without eating once I got off the plane.”

She emphasized her sacrifice for him again.

His brows furrowed a little, but in the end, he did not say anything and just took a seat at the coffee table.

“Ziming, do you still remember this seat? It’s our designated table before.

“You helped me with my homework and taught me how to solve problems here.”

“Ha ha! I still remember being jealous of Mu Heng once!”

She talked nonstop to him about their past together the moment she sat down.

She only slowed down when a few dishes were served.

Seeing that she had finally quieted, for some reason, his tightly knitted brows relaxed slightly.

She pursed her lips a little. It was as if she could tell that he was uncomfortable with how chatty she was.

In an instant, she felt that her favorite dessert did not taste good anymore; it was like chewing wax.

She seemed to have underestimated that woman’s influence on him…

Thinking of this, she stopped talking much to prevent him from getting annoyed at her.

“Ziming, why aren’t you eating? Are these dishes not to your liking?”

She put down her utensils and looked at him with a smile.

“En,” he mumbled coldly. “I need to be home later.”

“…” Listening to his reply, in an instant, she realized that he was different from how he was in the past.

Previously, even though he was not especially gentle or passionate, she was still special to him.

He would still willingly eat, watch movies, and shop with her.

Although he was rather calm and collected, he was never cold toward her the way he was now; even dining with her was a touch and go.

At this thought, she realized that her opponent was quite formidable.

She gently bit on her lower lip. She was very hungry, and there was a lot of good food before her, but she was not in the mood to eat anything.

“Ziming…”

Her slender palm gently reached out for his.

Alas, she was destined to fail.

Without any expression, he moved his palm away from her.

Seeing that he evaded her again, she pursed her lips into a tight line, and the sweet look on her face disappeared instantly.

In this moment, she came to know that he had really changed.

With her eyes red, she looked at him. “Ziming… I… heard that you have a girlfriend…”

Hearing her sad and indignant voice, he nodded plainly as he sat back in the chair and straightforwardly admitted, “Yes.”

“So… So it’s true…” Her smile turned a little ugly. She did not expect him to admit it so readily.

She thought that… At least, to him, she was a special and unique existence.

“Is she really pretty? Is she… better than me?”

Dealing with the first girlfriend that he had recognized, her expression was one of jealousy and indignance.

That woman! That kind of woman! She was defeated by that kind of woman; did the man she liked turn blind in the years that she was gone?

What she did not expect was that his reply would be the nail to the coffin.

“Yes, she’s really pretty, and she’s better than you.” He smiled when he spoke of Pei Ge.

In his eyes, his girlfriend looked cute no matter what; he could not get enough of her.

What he said to Pei Ge today was the truth and not lies.

In his eyes, his girlfriend was the best in the world.

Qiao Jingyun was made exasperated by his smile and his words in that instant. She almost lost control of herself. She wanted to slam the table and yell at him if he was blind!

How could that ugly woman compare to her? That woman had neither the looks nor the figure. She even graduated from some average university. Pei Ge was not even good enough to be her lackey!

She reined in her emotions at the last minute.

Qiao Jingyun, don’t be rash. You’ve put up with being overseas for so many years. Now that you’re finally back, you must keep yourself in control! This is so that you can… marry into the Ji family.

“Really… That’s great…” She hid her jealousy and hate and put on a smile on her face.

The smile was really forced, and with a look, it was clear at how sad she was.

Unfortunately, her expression was bound to go unnoticed, for it seemed to be targeted at a blind man. The man sitting across her did not budge.

When she saw that, she took a deep breath and lowered her face. “Ziming, is your night blindness better now?”

His expression finally changed when he heard her question.

He raised his eyes and looked at her. Looking at the beautiful face, he could not help but recall what had happened in that small, dark room in the past.

“Ziming, it’s perhaps due to me being gone for so long that we’re a little estranged now, but…” Seeing that his expression had finally changed, she smiled to herself. She looked at him with her eyes and nose a little red. She looked rather pitiful this way.

“… I still hope that you can be happy. After all, we were each other’s salvation back then.”
