My Billionaire Exhusband Grovels Me After Divorce

Chapter 668: Chapter 668: Girls in Love are Just so Timid

With a sigh, Qiao Yin passed a tissue to Lu Yanxi to wipe away her tears. “How about this?” she suggested. “We could go over and say hello, ask the woman what her relationship is with him. That way we won’t make unfounded judgments.”

But Lu Yanxi was left speechless.

She was usually very brave and never indecisive, but now she was unusually hesitant and afraid.

The reason was she feared the answer to her question would not be what she hoped for.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Qiao Yin saw her hesitance. It did indeed take a lot of courage to face something like this. So, she whispered, “Yan Xi, your eyes are a bit red from crying. Do you want me to go ask for you?”

Lu Yanxi’s reddened eyes were the least of her concerns. She was just not in good shape today. When she had rushed to the medical clinic to find Qiao Yin, she hadn’t even bothered to comb her hair or dress properly, let alone apply makeup. She probably just washed her face then headed out, looking rather disheveled and unkempt.

In contrast, the woman sitting with Chen Yuan had her makeup on point, her costume exquisite, and her hair was styled elaborately— she clearly took good care of herself.

Not that Qiao Yin thought any less of her best friend.

She just felt that it was unnecessary for Lu Yanxi, in her current state, to face a potential rival. Reflecting on this later, Lu Yanxi might regret appearing so miserable, without a chance to dazzle Chen Yuan with a grand entrance, or land him a resounding slap.

Lu Yanxi stayed silent for a long time.

Without her nod, Qiao Yin didn’t get up. She patiently waited for Lu Yanxi to make a decision.

And thus, they waited for nearly an hour.

Only when Chen Yuan and the woman had finished eating and were about to leave, did Lu Yanxi finally raise her head. “Yinyin, let’s go and ask them together.”

Qiao Yin was a bit surprised. “Are you sure about this?”

“I’m sure,” Lu Yanxi affirmed as she forced a smile at Qiao Yin. “We weren’t actually boyfriend and girlfriend to begin with. I’m just being overly jealous here. I think it’s better to ask and get a clear answer this time around. After being ambiguous for so long, there needs to be a conclusion. If he likes someone else, then it’s just as well and I can finally let go and stop harboring unrealistic hopes.”

Qiao Yin looked at her in surprise, not expecting her to come to terms with it so quickly.

She stood up, helped Lu Yanxi straighten her hair and clothing, and then linked her arm. “Alright then, let’s go say hi to Chen Yuan. He’s been eating here for an hour and hasn’t even noticed us! Can you guess what his expression will be when he sees us?”

“Surprised? Flustered? At any rate, he probably won’t be too pleased.”

Lu Yanxi did not feel as calm as she appeared to be. Had it not been for Qiao Yin’s presence, she might not have had the courage to say hello to Chen Yuan at all.

Perhaps she would have silently watched, then sought a roundabout way to probe the nature of his relationship with the other woman. Girls in love can be so cowardly.

While they were dining, she could not help but glance back at them a few times. Each time, she saw Chen Yuan attentively helping the other woman with her meal whilst barely touching his own.

It seemed like he was continuously sharing something funny, making the woman laugh non-stop.

However, Chen Yuan had done the same for her in the past.

She thought she was the only one that he treated this way. So it turned out, he was capable of treating other women the same way.

She couldn’t quite decipher her feelings. Was it painful? Did not seem excessively so.

A feeling of more bitterness and bewilderment pervaded though, as her ingrained beliefs were shattered. She did not know where she stood. Her surroundings blurred. All she could see was Chen Yuan picking food for the other woman and hear the latter’s particularly licentious laughter.
