Ye Yanxi looked at the familiar handwriting on the paper, her eyes growing a bit sore. Her eyes quickly scanned the passers - by beside her, but she didn't catch sight of Chu Beize.
Unconsciously, she tightened the note in her hand. In an instant, her body reacted faster than her mind. She hurriedly left Tianxin Square.
Getting into a taxi, Ye Yanxi gave the address and headed for the old place mentioned in the letter. Her heart inexplicably tensed up again, and her thoughts were in a complete mess.
Chu Beize had clearly abandoned her and fled abroad to avoid her. Why did he come back now and invite her to meet at the old place?
She had a lot of things to question him about. Today, she might as well get it all out and face it bravely!
Before, He Chuyan had said that Chu Beize came from a wealthy and powerful family, and their relationship would surely be opposed by his family.
At that time, Ye Yanxi was young and impulsive. She vowed that as long as two people truly loved each other, all difficulties and obstacles would be nothing.
However, those vows and sweet words had all vanished into thin air after the announcement of his engagement. Nothing was left.
Even now, she still wanted to hear it from his own mouth.
The scenery outside the car window flashed by in reverse, just like the irrecoverable time in the past.
In a quiet alley, Ye Yanxi easily found her way to the door of the coffee shop.
"Xiaoxi is here," said the boss, a kind - looking, chubby uncle. Having seen her many times, he naturally recognized Ye Yanxi.
Ye Yanxi forced a smile and said, "Yes, hello, boss."
"Same as usual, a cappuccino, right?"
"Yeah."
Ye Yanxi sat in her familiar seat. Soon, the waiter brought over the coffee. She took a sip from the cup, and the bitter taste lingered in her heart.
It was the taste she liked, but now it felt a bit strange.
At the same time, in a high - end coffee shop on the third floor of Tianxin Square, a man was sitting by the window, with a full view of the entire square.
The man was dressed in a brown suit with a white shirt and a matching striped tie. Perhaps due to the hot weather, the tie was a bit loose, and one button of his shirt was undone, making him look unruly and casual.
With his chiseled and handsome face and the noble aura around him, he attracted the attention of many women.
Xiao Yu crossed his long legs and leaned back leisurely on the sofa. There was a cup of coffee just brought by the waiter beside him, and a laptop on his right. His ten fingers tapped on the laptop flexibly and unhurriedly.
Occasionally, he would shift his gaze from the laptop to the fountain in Tianxin Square.
...
In the coffee shop, after Ye Yanxi finished two cups of coffee, the figure finally walked in through the door.
A tall and straight figure, a familiar face, clean and gentle. Ye Yanxi clenched her fists, feeling a bit sweaty, and stared fixedly at that figure.
Perhaps her gaze was too intense. Chu Beize averted his eyes and didn't dare to meet hers.
Seeing this, Ye Yanxi felt a pang in her heart. A faint smile crept out of her stiff lips. "It seems that what was reported in the news and newspapers is true!"
"Xiaoxi, I knew I couldn't hide it from you, but..." Chu Beize lowered his head slightly. "I still hope you can understand me."
Understand? Should she happily offer her blessings?
Ye Yanxi felt extremely disappointed. Her memory seemed to go back more than a decade ago.
At that time, she was just a little girl. Because of her playfulness, she ran into an old building. When the building collapsed, she was rescued by an older brother.
In the darkness, she pitifully asked, "Big brother, are we going to die?"
"No."
"My face seems to be bleeding. Will I be ugly in the future?"
"Maybe..."
"Woo, I definitely won't be able to get married then!"
"Don't cry. If you really become ugly, I'll marry you!" The young boy comforted her gently. The warmth of his palm dispelled the loneliness of the cold night.
...
That day, he was injured and hospitalized while saving her. Only then did she know that he was the young master of a wealthy family, the son of the Chu family.
She thought she was not good enough for him, so she worked hard to learn many skills.
Seven years ago, when she learned that his company needed to hire some foreign - language experts, she won the championships in English and Russian competitions and went to find him.
But he didn't remember her.
Ye Yanxi thought it didn't matter. As long as she remembered him.
She pestered him like this, and the two later started dating. However, things had changed. The Chu Beize in front of her was no longer the big brother who had protected her.
At this moment, sitting in the coffee shop they had visited countless times, her heart was numb with pain.
Ye Yanxi took a deep breath, stared into Chu Beize's eyes with her clear ones, and said seriously, "Chu Beize, let's break up!"
Since she had started this relationship, it should also end with her.
"Xiaoxi, why can't you understand me?" Chu Beize didn't expect her to directly propose breaking up. A flash of pain crossed his face. "Even if I marry someone else, I can still love you!"
Ye Yanxi sneered. She felt a sense of helplessness. Suddenly, she remembered that she had an appointment to pick up her phone. She didn't want to entangle with Chu Beize any longer. She stood up and wanted to leave.
Seeing that she was about to leave without saying a word, Chu Beize reached out to grab her, but she shook him off forcefully. She had learned taekwondo, and if she wanted to leave, Chu Beize couldn't stop her.
Marry someone else and still love her. Oh, she couldn't believe such words came from his mouth.
All that was left in Ye Yanxi's heart was numbness. It was meaningless to say anything now.
After leaving the alley, Ye Yanxi borrowed a phone from a passer - by and dialed her own number.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the call was dialed, there came a mechanical and cold voice: "Sorry, the number you dialed is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later..."
The call couldn't get through!
