Beijing-Hong Kong Rosemary

Chapter 124 That was his ex-girlfriend
Shen Guining returned to her room and realized that her hair clip was missing.

She had only been to the restaurant, so the most likely place she would have dropped it was there. After hesitating for a few minutes, she decided to go back and look for it.

Miu Miu hair clips aren't cheap, and I'd feel bad if I lost them.

She took the elevator back to the third-floor restaurant.

"Ding--"

The elevator doors opened automatically.

There were people outside the door, a man and a woman, talking.

The girl's voice was clear and sweet, with a touch of coquettishness, "Please? Take me with you to the next auction."

Shen Guining didn't pay attention at first, but the next moment, a very familiar deep voice entered her ears.

"I don't have time, you should find Jason."

She froze, standing there motionless, unable to react.

In her peripheral vision, she could see the tall, imposing figure of the man standing a few meters away from her.

Qu Yanci keenly noticed this and shifted his gaze to look over.

Two pairs of eyes met unexpectedly.

Shen Guining's pupils trembled slightly, and her palms clenched unconsciously.

I had imagined many scenarios for our next meeting, but I never expected it to be like this.

An unexpected encounter in a foreign land.

Is the girl next to him his girlfriend, or someone he's closer to?
During the few seconds of stalemate, Shen Guining's thoughts were in disarray, and her mind went blank.

The elevator doors are about to close automatically.

She suddenly came to her senses, reached out and pressed the open button, and stepped out of the elevator.

A hint of helplessness and panic flashed across her lowered eyes.

Felix happened to come out of the restaurant and called out to Shen Guining, "Hi, are you back to look for the hair clip?"

She paused for two seconds, then nodded casually, "Yes, did you see it?"

“I found it here.” Felix took the hair clip out of his pocket and handed it back to her.

Shen Guining politely thanked her.

Felix glanced at Qu Yanci beside him, "Vince, do you two know each other?"

Before the man could speak, Shen Guining denied it first, saying calmly, "I don't know him." She distanced herself from the situation.

Qu Yanci stared intently, saying nothing, but his eyes were cold.

Shen Guining didn't look at him. After greeting Felix, she turned and entered the elevator.

Xia Yao belatedly realized, "Isn't that Miss Shen? Has she misunderstood something?"

Qu Yanci spoke in a deep voice, "Don't look for me unless it's absolutely necessary."

"Something's wrong..."

He glanced at me with a cold look.

Xia Yao chickened out and quickly stopped talking, making an "OK" sign. "I understand, I understand. I can't ask you for help if I need anything."

Felix asked, puzzled, "Vince, don't you really recognize that beautiful woman? I remember her in that photo on your phone."

Qu Yanci didn't reply, but pressed the elevator button and entered the other car.

Felix turned to look at Xia Yao, completely bewildered, "Why is he ignoring me?"

“Friend, you have a good memory.” Xia Yao raised her hand to cover her lips and lowered her voice, “That’s his ex-girlfriend.”

Felix exclaimed in surprise, "Vince's ex-girlfriend?"

Xia Yao nodded.
-
Shen Guining returned to her room absentmindedly, the scene from earlier flashing through her mind.

Didn't we already foresee this day? It was bound to come eventually.

He will find a suitable partner in all aspects, date, get married, and have children.

But she overestimated herself and couldn't remain as calm as she imagined. Just seeing Qu Yanci standing and talking with others made her heart ache.

I never imagined that we would meet in this way two years later.

He has a new relationship and a new life.

Try to think positively. There's nothing to regret about having had it all. You should always look forward.

Two people who are not compatible will never have a future together.

She forced herself not to overthink and to get some rest.

The next morning, Shen Guining got up early to pack her luggage. After breakfast, she met with her colleagues in the hotel lobby, lined up to check out, and prepared to head to the airport.

A black Rolls-Royce was parked in front of the hotel entrance, its silver emblem gleaming in the sunlight.
