The beauty captivated the city. As Xiao Yufan gazed at Qiao Chuxi’s face, a ripple stirred in his heart. From the mist in her eyes, he could vaguely sense her emotional fluctuations.
“It’s such a coincidence, what are you doing here…”
Xiao Yufan coughed awkwardly, unsure how to break the strange atmosphere, and spoke stiffly.
“Yeah, what a coincidence. I just happened to be passing by!” For some reason, Xiao Yufan sensed a hint of bitterness in Qiao Chuxi’s smile. People always said a woman’s heart is as hard to fathom as a needle at the bottom of the sea, yet today, he found her particularly strange.
“Have you been okay lately…”
Meeting by chance might be better than a planned meeting, but Xiao Yufan naturally didn’t believe she was just passing by. He guessed she must have heard he was back and had come here on purpose.
Combined with the tearful look in her eyes just now, Xiao Yufan couldn’t help but suspect something. He was far from being insensitive; on the contrary, he could sense Qiao Chuxi’s excitement, and it wasn’t feigned.
“I’m fine, except I miss a certain heartless rogue sometimes!”
Qiao Chuxi’s gaze flickered slightly, and her voice dropped lower. During the past month, she had come to Zifeng Apartment countless times without ever seeing Xiao Yufan. Later, she heard from the other girls that this man had been hurt, and her heart sank. Only then did she realize how significant a place Xiao Yufan had quietly occupied in her heart.
Uh…
Xiao Yufan helplessly touched his nose. Why did it feel like this girl was confessing to him? Could it be that she hadn’t taken her medicine before coming out today?!
Seeing Xiao Yufan’s expressionless face, Qiao Chuxi stomped her foot angrily. She couldn’t understand how this pervert had managed to charm so many excellent women. She had already made her feelings so clear, yet he remained indifferent. At least she considered herself a great beauty!
“Miss Qiao, are you sure you took your medicine before going out today…”
“You lecher! You’re implying that I’m sick? Want to die, huh!”
Hearing Xiao Yufan’s words, Qiao Chuxi could no longer bear it, and her little universe instantly erupted. Of course, this outburst posed no threat to Xiao Yufan; she simply wanted to vent her frustration.
This man had been absent for so long, making her worry endlessly, and even upon his return, he still made her unhappy. His conscience must have been eaten by a dog! At this moment, Qiao Chuxi felt extremely wronged.
“My dear Miss Qiao, if you didn’t forget to take your medicine, why are you acting so strangely today? Even if you missed me, you don’t have to be so obvious. Haven’t I already appeared before you!”
Qiao Chuxi’s change genuinely surprised Xiao Yufan. Perhaps after being away for so long, this girl had become attached to him. If that were the case, it would actually be a good thing…
“Who would miss you so much, you conceited jerk!”
Qiao Chuxi gave Xiao Yufan a coquettish glare, gently wiping the corner of her eye. Hearing his familiar teasing tone, she couldn’t help shedding tears. This feeling was so familiar!
“Sigh, it seems my wives were right after all. Women are indeed creatures of contradiction. You obviously missed me, yet you pretend otherwise…”
Jokingly, Xiao Yufan also noticed Qiao Chuxi’s tear-streaked cheeks, and a sense of guilt stirred within him. Could it be that this girl had unknowingly started to fall for him at some point?
“I just missed you, so what…”
Xiao Yufan had intended to tease Qiao Chuxi a little, but her next sentence nearly made him stumble to the ground. When had this girl become so bold…
