C35 Initial Recollection
It was already night time as the sky was shrouded by a deep curtain of night. The entire city was bustling with pedestrians as lanterns lit up the place.
Ann Qianxi walked down the street in a daze as the scene of her reunion with Lei Jia kept appearing in her mind.
To be honest, their understanding of each other was also related to Chi Shaojun.
His thoughts gradually drifted to seven years ago.
At that time, she and Chi Shaojun were still an enviable couple. Many people expressed their surprise at her taming the rebellious Chi Shaojun, while holding onto the attitude of watching a joke to see how she was thrown off, or even believed in true love and expressed their blessings to them.
Ever since she was with Chi Shaojun, Ann Qianxi had been attending all kinds of high-end parties with him. It was the same back then when Chi Shaojun took her to join the party.
However, when they entered the arena, a group of people surrounded Chi Shaojun and chatted. They felt a little uncomfortable as they looked at the gradually forming circle around Chi Shaojun.
She was never in Chi Shaojun's circle, her appearance was like an accident.
Chi Shaojun obviously didn't expect so many people to surround him, so he was busy dealing with others and naturally ignored Ann Qianxi.
Ann Qianxi turned around and saw the man standing behind her, and her gaze was instantly attracted by him.
A tall figure with a face that was so dazzling and handsome that it was accompanied by a warm smile. It was clearly a complete dissonance, yet it seemed so harmonious on this man's body.
The man was also sizing up Ann Qianxi. He had long known about Ann Qianxi's famous name, and this was the first time he had seen her in person.
"Hello, I'm Lei Jia." The man took the initiative to speak with a gentle smile.
"Hello, I'm Ann Qianxi." She was dumbfounded.
After the two exchanged names, they started to chat. Ann Qianxi was surprised to find that besides his aggressive face, he had a gentle personality and was good at talking.
Ann Qianxi's depressed mood had been eased by him.
After chatting for a while, Ann Qianxi felt that it was time she went back to Chi Shaojun's place. Otherwise, she would panic if she couldn't find Chi Shaojun later.
Ann Qianxi, who saw this scene, suddenly felt very tired. She knew that Chi Shaojun had friends, and these were all forced scenes, but at least it had to be restrained a little bit in front of her girlfriend.
Ann Qianxi thought it was too eye-catching, but she didn't want to go any closer. She carried the wine to the balcony to enjoy the wind.
"What a coincidence, I met you again."
Before he could stand on the balcony, Lei Jia's voice came into his ears.
"I really can't stand the atmosphere inside. I'm going to take a breather." Sensing Ann Qianxi's probing gaze, Lei Jia took the initiative to explain.
"Me, too. I might as well come out and take a breeze to calm myself down while I'm in there watching other people put on an act." Ann Qianxi smiled wryly as she raised the glass in her hand.
Lei Jia immediately understood Ann Qianxi's implied meaning, "Tonight, we toast our friendship."
Ann Qianxi burst out laughing as he raised his glass high in the air. She had not expected such an interesting acquaintance.
"To friendship."
The two of them didn't know how to control themselves as they continued to drink. They finished the bottles of wine one by one.
When she woke up the next day, Ann Qianxi looked at the unfamiliar white ceiling above her head and didn't know where she was. She just remembered to drink with Lei Jia yesterday.
Chi Shaojun wouldn't be worried, right?
Just as he was about to open the blanket, Lei Jia walked in from outside.
"You're awake. It was all my fault yesterday. I insisted on pulling you along to drink." Lei Jia scratched his head in embarrassment.
"What happened last night? You were the one who sent me to the hospital?" Ann Qianxi asked tentatively.
"You were drunk last night. Originally, I wanted to look for Chi Shaojun, but you accidentally fell down and the people under your command couldn't find Chi Shaojun, so I was good at advocating to send you to the hospital." Lei Jia hurriedly explained.
Last night, she fell down and was sent to the hospital by someone else. At this time, Chi Shaojun had disappeared.
"Thank you, but I should go now." Ann Qianxi ignored the injury on her leg and insisted on leaving.
"Qianxi, are you alright?" A familiar voice sounded from the outside, while Chi Shaojun anxiously appeared in the ward.
Actually, he did not expect to be caught last night. When he finally got rid of those people, he went to find Ann Qianxi, but she was nowhere to be found.
No one knew where Ann Qianxi went and neither did the people he sent out. It was only when someone called him in the morning saying that Ann Qianxi was in this hospital that he rushed over.
He had hardly slept that night, and all sorts of possibilities had gone through his mind, until now, when he saw Ann Qianxi herself, he was still relieved.
"Did you take her away yesterday?" Chi Shaojun noticed the man standing beside him from the moment he entered the door. However, he was too busy looking at Ann Qianxi's situation that he suddenly remembered to 'greet' someone else.
"Yeah, some people don't have the time, so I took care of his girlfriend for them." Lei Jia crossed his arms and said in an unfriendly tone.
Ann Qianxi didn't expect that the person who was so gentle yesterday would become so sharp today.
"I don't need you to take care of my people." Chi Shaojun sneered.
"Your people? "How do I remember it wasn't her that was by your side last night?"
Chi Shaojun became more and more unfriendly as he was stabbed to the sore spot. The two of them started fighting after a short exchange of words.
Ann Qianxi, who was standing at the side, did not say a word. The two of them could be considered gentle people, but now, they were suddenly in a tit for tat.
When Chi Shaojun's fist hit Lei Jia's face, Ann Qianxi hurriedly stopped him. One was her boyfriend, and the other was the person who had kindly sent her to the hospital yesterday.
"Shaojun, calm down. It's not what you think." Ann Qianxi immediately went to pull him up.
"What do I think? Did he not take you away, but did you follow him yourself? " Chi Shaojun had an impatient expression on his face as he shook off her hand.
For the first time, Ann Qianxi felt that Chi Shaojun was difficult to communicate with.
"Yeah, I followed him. Men have social contacts, but can't women have one?"
Chi Shaojun was stunned when he heard that and sneered, "Alright, you're the one who said that."
With that, he turned and left the ward.
After that, the two of them began a cold war, neither of them willing to lower their heads first.
Until one day, Ann Qianxi felt that the relationship between the two of them couldn't be reduced to zero just because of a quarrel. Plus, she intentionally angered Chi Shaojun that day, so she decided to lower her head first.
Unexpectedly, what entered his vision were the two addicted bodies.
The man she loved was currently lying on the same bed as another woman, with his head between his ears.
"Chi Shaojun, you better explain what's going on." Ann Qianxi leaned on the door of her and Chi Shaojun's room, looking at the two men lying on the bed, she said coldly.
"That's what you see, like you and that sissy." Chi Shaojun's reaction was also very indifferent. He glanced at the other woman on the bed and said coldly.
"Alright, if that's the case, then I don't want to say anything else. I'll be leaving first." She fought back tears and fled for the door, defending her last shred of dignity.
It was only when she walked out of the door that her tears started flowing. She didn't want to believe the fact that Chi Shaojun was lying with another woman, but Chi Shaojun didn't have any intention of explaining it to her.
"Maybe it's just a misunderstanding." Ann Qianxi stumbled back. She had been waiting for Chi Shaojun to give her an explanation, but all she got was news and notice about the storm.
"The CEO of Chi's Group and the Chen family's daughter are engaged? "The strong alliance of these two companies?"
Her eyes were misty and her heart was broken. She held the newspaper tightly in her hand.
The words that Chi Shaojun once said echoed in his mind like ridicule. At that time, she had fallen in love recklessly, and Chi Shaojun had also said that he would always love her until she stopped loving him.
And the result?
So it turned out that he was someone else's plaything.
