“I saw you talking to Long Feilei just now.” Qi Rui handed Huo Yuqi a gla.s.s of fruit juice.
“Yes.”
“Why? Is he trying to get you back?” Qi Rui raised an eyebrow.
“I’m not his, so how could he get me back?” Only when two people were dating before could they get back together. They weren’t.
“Your heart was his in the past,” Qi Rui said with a smile.
Huo Yuqi snorted.
“Let me know in advance if you want to dump me,” Qi Rui said.
“Don’t worry, I’m a loyal person. I won’t change my mind about what I promised you.” Huo Yuqi reached out and patted Qi Rui to rea.s.sure him.
Qi Rui smiled at her, but his eyes darkened.
Right now, everyone thought that Huo Yuqi and Qi Rui were a couple and that they were about to get engaged. But in fact, this was not the case.
After Mu Huan and Bo Junyan’s wedding, Qi Rui and Huo Yuqi often interacted. As the two of them had a lot of common interests, they could talk a lot. They also had thoughts of developing a relations.h.i.+p. Hence, they slowly became friends. As for becoming a couple, they had yet to arrive there.
At the beginning of the year, Qi Rui’s father got seriously ill. Qi Rui and his half-brother were fighting for the right to inherit. His brother had married a very powerful young lady. Hence, Qi Rui could only win against his father’s favored son by marrying a young lady from a better family.
However, Qi Rui did not want to ruin his life just because of the inheritance. Hence, he asked Huo Yuqi for help. Huo Yuqi treated him as a friend. If a friend was in trouble, she naturally had to help.
Hence, the two of them became a couple in everyone’s eyes. Everyone thought that the two of them were getting engaged. As Huo Yuqi did not want her mother to arrange all sorts of blind dates, even the Huo family thought that the two of them were a couple.
“However, Long Feilei has indeed become a little strange. I can’t understand what he’s thinking.” Huo Yuqi felt that it was unbelievable when she thought about how Long Feiting had said that he didn’t know what he wanted.
He had always wanted her to stop pestering him.
“You’re such a good girl. Anyone who misses their chance with you will feel regret,” Qi Rui said meaningfully.
“That’s true! Nowadays, there are too few single girls who are as good-looking as me, have a good family background, and are talented! It would be a pity to miss the chance with me!” Huo Yuqi was still arrogant and confident.
Qi Rui looked at her and smiled.
Most of the daughters of wealthy families he knew were arrogant and willful. Although Huo Yuqi was a little willful sometimes, her willfulness was adorable, as well as her narcissism.
“Let’s go over there. I’ll introduce you to a few people,” Huo Yuqi said as she held Qi Rui’s arm and walked toward a crowded spot.
Qi Rui looked at her and his smile deepened.
She was really loyal. After she said she would help him, she did not spare any effort to help him. Apart from making people think that they were a couple, she also helped him pull connections.
The Huo family’s business was very strong to begin with. With Huo Yuqi’s relations.h.i.+p with Bo Junyan, the Huo family’s status became several times higher. Naturally, Huo Yuqi’s connections were more extensive than Qi Rui’s.
Long Feilei told his brothers that he was leaving.
“Brother, I really can’t figure it out sometimes,” the second son of the Long family said.
Long Feilei glanced at him and turned to leave.
Seeing this, the second son of the Long family followed. “Brother, aren’t you going to ask me what I can’t figure out?”
“I don’t want to ask.”
The second son of the Long family: “…”
How were they going to continue chatting?
After getting into the car, the second son of the Long family felt that he had to continue chatting even if it was awkward.
