C37 How Small the World Is

Kang Wenyuan was going to the Bureau of Land Resources in the morning to take Chu Qingyan to work. He said that he had a friend that would treat her to a meal tonight, so he wanted her to go with him.

Chu Qingyan had no reason to refuse him if she could only get in touch with his friends and join his social circle.

After work in the afternoon, Kang Wenyuan punctually appeared in front of Chu Qingyan's office.

"Where are we going to eat?" She sat in the front passenger seat with a smile on her face, while Kang Wenyuan considerately fastened her seat belt.

He said, "The Di Hao Hotel."

Lee Jingyu is the CEO of the Di Hao Hotel.

Thinking about Lee Jingyu, Chu Qingyan's silent heart started beating rapidly again, forcing herself to calm down. She kept a smile on her face as if nothing had happened.

"What kind of friend is the one treating me to dinner tonight?"

Perhaps it was because her question was a little strange, Kang Wenyuan hesitated for a moment before replying seriously: "She was my junior when I was in university."

"Junior?" Chu Qingyan could smell the faint scent of adultery, "You and her are alright, right?"

Kang Wenyuan had a serious expression: "Of course it's alright, she's getting married soon. Tonight, we still have to eat together with her fiance."

The car drove into the underground parking garage of the "Di Hao Hotel". The air here seemed to be filled with Lee Jingyu's gentleness, pressing down heavily on her heart, causing Chu Qingyan to feel suffocated.

Kang Wenyuan parked the car and turned on the overhead light. When he turned his head, he found that she was looking bad.

"What's wrong with you? Are you not feeling well? Are you feeling carsick?"

He unfastened her seatbelt, frowning slightly as he inquired with concern.

"Yeah, I feel a little carsick." Chu Qingyan nodded weakly and took out a wet towel from her bag to wipe her face.

"Let's get out of the car quickly and go to the hotel lobby. It should be better if we drink some water."

Chu Qingyan was a bit scared, afraid that she would run into Lee Jingyu in the hotel lobby. However, sitting in the car would only make it worse.

After hesitating for a moment, she got off the car with a feeling of luck and walked into the hotel lobby with Kang Wenyuan.

Kang Wenyuan's so-called junior sister came up to him.

She enthusiastically put her arm around Chu Qingyan's. "Hello, sister-in-law. I'm Xiao Luowei."

"Hello!" Chu Qingyan could not bear Xiao Luowei's enthusiasm any longer.

Chu Qingyan forced out a smile. When she saw Xiao Luowei's face, a sense of déjà vu surged up in her heart. Her smile froze. Wasn't she …

Chu Qingyan looked at Kang Wenyuan in shock. He was also looking at her.

In contrast to Chu Qingyan's questioning gaze, the smile in his eyes instantly disappeared without a trace, replaced by no less than her doubt.

He seemed to be asking, What's wrong?

Perhaps she should have spoken to him openly, not just asked him to.

Chu Qingyan sighed silently and retracted her gaze. She turned around to look in front and Lee Jingyu suddenly appeared in front of her.

She and he looked at each other, breathing in the dusty air after the rain, listening to the noise of the hotel.

Lee Jingyu calmly walked closer. Step by step, he seemed to step on her heart, causing her chest to throb in pain.

Chu Qingyan was so scared that she wanted to run away. Her legs wouldn't listen to her, and they were even trembling.

Just when Chu Qingyan was at a loss for words, Xiao Luowei quickly stepped forward and handed her hand to Lee Jingyu. Then, the two of them snuggled together and stood in front of her and Kang Wenyuan.

"Let me introduce, this is my fiance, Lee Jingyu, the CEO of the Di Hao Hotel."

The proud smile on Xiao Luowei's face stung her eyes. Her heart ached and her eyes teared up.

"Jingyu, this is the senior brother Kang Wenyuan that I mentioned to you before. This is his wife, Chu Qingyan."

After shaking hands with Kang Wenyuan, Lee Jingyu looked at her and said: "Hello Miss Chu, we meet again!"

"You two know each other?" Xiao Luowei was as surprised as Chu Qingyan was when she saw her and found out that Lee Jingyu was her fiancé.

The corner of Lee Jingyu's mouth slightly hooked up as he said casually: "Yes, I do. Mufeng is Miss Chu's superior."

Xiao Luowei suddenly realized something and said, "Oh, this world is really small!"

"Qingyan, Qingyan …"

Chu Qingyan's heart was in a complete mess when she heard Kang Wenyuan's low voice. She was afraid that he would see through her. She didn't even bother to say a few polite words to Lee Jingyu before she found an excuse to flee.

"I'm feeling a little uncomfortable. I need to go to the bathroom."
