In City A, at the corner of Street Thirty-Six, Cafe Number Seven.
Smack!
A slap came flying, abruptly landing on Su Qi's delicate face, turning it to one side.
"You slut, listen to me, stop pestering my boyfriend, we're getting married!"
The slap made Su Qi's ears ring non-stop, but the shrill and chaotic voice that reached her ears was incredibly familiar.
Raising her head, Su Qi faced a charming and cute girl. She looked innocent and well-behaved, with a delicate face and dressed in a Chanel-style lady dress.
However, that face was impossible for her to ignore.
Su Lan — her sister, her own flesh and blood!
Why was she here?
And, when did she get a boyfriend? Why hadn't she known?
Beyond these uncertainties, what worried Su Qi more was whether Su Lan would recognize her or not? After all, very few people knew who she truly was.
Feeling somewhat nervous, Su Qi raised her hand to casually touch her cheek.
"Miss, could it be you've mistaken me for someone else?" Su Qi slowly stood up and asked. She often met here with her boyfriend, Zhao Tianming. Today, he had suddenly called to say he had something to discuss, and she had also just happened to want to confess something, so she had arrived early to wait.
However, the moment Su Qi stood up, Su Lan suddenly fell to the ground, her expression turning pitiful.
"Su-sis, I know you're heartbroken, but Ah Zhe and I are truly in love. Will you please let us be together?"
"What is this, A Zhe?"
Before Su Qi even fully grasped the situation, a figure swiftly stepped forward and embraced Su Lan, circling an arm around her waist.
"Lan Er, are you okay? Did you get hurt anywhere from the fall?”
The shadowy figure immediately started asking anxiously, not disguising his concern and care at all.
As Su Qi heard the man's voice, her eyes abruptly widened, she felt her heartbeat halt.
"A Zhe, I'm fine. It was just my carelessness..." Su Lan gently explained, her previous air of dominance completely gone. She now looked as fragile as a daisy swaying in the wind and rain.
The man affectionally known as A Zhe turned his head to glance at Su Qi opposite him, a palpable disgust in his gaze that he failed to conceal.
"Su Qi, I never thought you could be such a despicable person!”
Su Qi gazed at the man in front, familiar yet strange.
Her boyfriend of a year—Zhao Tianming!
Heh-heh.
Su Qi lightly chuckled; her fine delicate fingers touched her burning cheek, afterwards she threw an indifferent glance at Zhao Tianming.
"Zhao Tianming, what do you mean by this!"
The man holding Su Lan seemed ambiguous and dares not directly meet Su Qi's deep black eyes, his gaze fixated on Su Lan instead.
"Su Qi, the reason I came here today with Lan Er is to make things clear to you. The woman I love is Lan Er, not you."
"What? Zhao Tianming? Ah Zhe, aren't you the cousin of Leng Corporation's president?" Su Lan puckered her pink lips, apparently perplexed.
Zhao Tianming, who was also known as Leng Zhe, fell his gaze on Su Lan's moist pink lips, his eyes darkening somewhat.
Such a seductive witch!
Zhao Tianming, so even his name was a faux!
Fortunately, she hadn't let her identity slip as well. Su Qi suddenly felt somewhat relieved.
She initially wanted to reveal everything to this man today, but she never expected it to unfold this way.
Life really is hilarious!
Su Qi couldn't help but let out a cold laugh before she regained her composure, her face cool and composed.
Her steady gaze now resting on Su Lan.
Feeling the heated gaze on her, Su Lan subconsciously retreated into Leng Zhe's arms, looking somewhat terrified as she shook slightly.
Leng Zhe took a step forward, positioning himself before Su Lan, facing Su Qi.
"Su Qi, if you have any grievances, take them out on me. Don't frighten Lan, I know it's my fault, that I've let you down!"
Leng Zhe’s words sounded self-righteous, but without any sense of remorse.
Slap!
A hard slap landed on Leng Zhe's handsome face.
"I don't care what your name is, I was just blindly in love with a dog before!"
Having slapped Leng Zhe, Su Qi withdrew her hand, took a tissue from the side and wiped her hand clean, then casually threw the tissue on the floor, her face showing disgust.
With her head held high, she walked away arrogantly, pushing past Leng Zhe and Su Lan.
As she passed Su Lan, a mocking smile subtly lifted the corners of her mouth.
"Do you believe that he doesn't love you that much? He's just sleeping with you because it's cleaner and cheaper than hiring prostitutes!"
"Su Qi, what do you mean by this? Are you just jealous that Ah Zhe loves me, not you? You're deliberately trying to drive a wedge between us!" Su Lan's eyes narrowed coldly, and then she clung to Leng Zhe's arm with a pitiful look.
"Ah Zhe, do you love me?"
Leng Zhe hugged Su Lan's waist tightly, "Baby, aren't you asking what you already know? I love you the most!"
......
Turning around, departing coldly, tears overflowed from the corners of her eyes. Each step Su Qi took out felt like a knife piercing into her heart, very painful!
That was the man she once loved!
She walked out of the Number Seven Cafe in a miserable way, Su Qi received a call from her friend He Tiandian.
"Master Qi, will you attend tonight's birthday party of the school class beauty? I heard they booked the most luxurious bar in the city - Maple Leaf Night. I have been given a great mission, it seems that Hong Xinmei is finally planning to confess her love to you!" He Tiandian's voice was very excited, with a hint of teasing.
Su Qi initially planned to decline, but for some reason she agreed when she heard the word 'bar'.
"Alright, send me the room number. I'll be there tonight!"
"Really, Qi Ye, are you actually coming? Are you planning to accept Hong Xin's confession?"
"He Tian Tian, can you stop being sarcastic? Your Brother Qi, I, have suffered a heartbreak today!" Su Qi casually informs her only close friend and the only person who knows his true identity about his tragic situation.
Upon hearing this, He Tian Tian exploded on the other end of the line.
"What! That scumbag dared to play with your feelings, even hooking up with your sister? What the hell!"
"But honestly, Qi Ye, you should be thankful that you found out the true nature of this scum early. The next time I see him, I swear I'll cripple his third leg!"
...
After listening to He Tian Tian's barrage of words, Su Qi felt a lot better.
Casually, he removed the black, long curly wig from his head and tossed it into a roadside bin, revealing his naturally soft, messy chestnut-colored short hair. His usually tender eyes became sharp, and the silver cross earring on his left ear shone brightly under the sun.
His whole demeanor suddenly became lethally lazy.
