Qian Xun curled her lips coldly. “You’re mistaken. I’ve never been in a relations.h.i.+p with Lu Yanzhi. He is not the one that I like, and neither am I the one he likes.”
Huh?
s.h.i.+ Guang was surprised. She had once suspected that Qian Xun might be Xiao Bai’s mother the same way Xiao Bai did. But, if they were never in a relations.h.i.+p, she must have been mistaken.
She could not help but blurt out asking again, “Then why do you hate Yanzhi?”
“That’s because he killed the person most important to me.” Su Qianxun snarled while instinctively touching her stomach.
“The person most important to you?” s.h.i.+ Guang’s breathing was labored as astonishment filled her eyes.
There was a life involved between Qian Xun and Lu Yanzhi?
s.h.i.+ Guang took a deep look at Qian Xun whose expression seemed casual as usual, yet concealing deep emotions that she did not want others to tell of at all.
“I’m sorry! I should not have brought up something so painful for you.”
“It isn’t anything painful, merely some bad past experiences.” Qian Xun chuckled out and did not seem to mind. She asked softly, “I b.u.mped into w.a.n.g Caichun the other day. From her, I heard about some stories concerning you and Lu Yanchen. You guys were each other’s first love, right?”
“That’s right! But, we broke up for around 2 years plus before getting together again.” s.h.i.+ Guang sn.i.g.g.e.red, her eyes lighting up brightly.
“How nice!” Qian Xun was filled with envy.
“Were you truly not together with Yanzhi in the past?” s.h.i.+ Guang was still somewhat disbelieving. Whenever Qian Xun mentioned Lu Yanzhi, there was always a hint of love mixed with hatred—the same way s.h.i.+ Guang had behaved after she and Lu Yanchen had broken up.
“A relations.h.i.+p comes from both ways. Do you understand?” What she had with Lu Yanzhi could not be considered as a relations.h.i.+p.
“You had a crush on Yanzhi? Because the love didn’t work out, it turned into hate?” s.h.i.+ Guang blurted out with her guess.
Instantly, Qian Xun rolled her eyes at s.h.i.+ Guang.
“S-Sorry, sorry! I was truly just too curious!”
“It’s fine… It’s been almost 6 years now.” With that, Qian Xun laid back on her seat and shut her eyes, not seeming as though she wanted to continue on this topic.
As the car arrived at Qian Xun’s apartment, she took out an invitation card before leaving.
Opening it, s.h.i.+ Guang saw s.h.i.+ Ze’s name beside Su Qianxun as she laughed out awkwardly. “Erm, you know how things are between s.h.i.+ Ze and Lu Yanchen. I’ve got to ask Yanchen if he’s going, and will only go if he agrees.”
“Sure, hubby-controlled-wife!” Qian Xun mocked playfully before leaving.
When Qian Xun got home and looked at that icy cold room, she could not help but feel a sense of hollowness in her heart. That conversation with s.h.i.+ Guang had her recalling about the yesteryears which were way too painful and despairing for her, such that even she herself did not wish to recall them.
She did not wish to!
Lying down on the ice cold bed, she closed her eyes, wanting to sleep for a little while. Yet, the sounds of an infant crying rang out in her ears.
Qian Xun’s eyes jerked wide open as she looked ahead in shock, her eyes blank and empty for the longest time before she regained focus.
Unable to sleep, she scrolled through Weibo on her phone.
The production team of Nine Heavens had just uploaded a new batch of photos, and she reposted them casually.
On Weibo, her popularity was still rather spectacular. Within minutes of her posting, there were over thousands of reposts and comments, with most of them coming from her fans commenting about how beautiful she was.
