Unexpected Second Chance at Love [3]

CHAPTER 489: She is my friend

Even when the waiter brought out their food and set it on the table, neither Yue Ling nor Zhao Ya’Er touch the food.

Until Zhao Ya’Er was done telling her past to Yue Ling, she scoffs sarcastically with a smile like she is okay.

"Sorry, I didn’t invite you to make you listen to something like this."

Yue Ling stares at the beautiful woman who had invited her out for lunch. She never would have thought Zhao Ya’Er to be someone who is being abused by a bastard.

Seeing that her best friend remained in silence, Zhao Ya’Er’s smile widens and she picks up her chopsticks.

"Yue-yue, I am really okay now. After I met Xu Long, I came to realize that there is still someone as sweet as him in the world."

She told Yue Ling about how she met her ex-boyfriend and how their relationship went south. She even told her about how he would beat her up when he’s drunk or angry, then how she encounter Xu Long.

The reason she never told anyone is because she was afraid of how others will judge her and she didn’t want her family to worry about her, so she kept everything to herself.

She didn’t know why, but after she saw the look in Yue Ling’s eyes, she couldn’t help but vent her feelings out.

Maybe it’s because she never told anyone, and she had reached her limit.

However, after letting everything out to Yue Ling, she felt it was stupid of her to keep such painful feelings inside.

Yue Ling’s eyes slowly blink, and she kept her gaze on the woman.

She thought back to Madam Zhao’s words the day when she and Lu Tian stopped by Elegancy. The woman said she didn’t know why her daughter always kept her hair short like boy.

Looking at Zhao Ya’Er’s short hair, everything made sense. She kept her hair short so when her abusive ex comes after her, he won’t be able to grab her hair.

However, knowing that Zhao Ya’Er didn’t want to talk about the subject anymore, she decides to not pry on the subject.

Even though she had lost her appetite due to the anger inside her for Zhao Ya’Er’s misfortune, she still picks up her chopsticks.

"Ya’Er?"

Just as her finger touches the chopsticks, a man’s voice calls out from the restaurant entrance.

Yue Ling glance to the person while Zhao Ya’Er’s shoulder jumped and her expression drain of all colors.

It was a man wearing a grey suit. His facial features were not too bad, but Yue Ling can see that his appearance is not even close to her male subordinates.

He wasn’t alone but with a woman in a red dress suit. Her white button shirt inside was open enough to reveal her cleavage so others can see her rather large breasts.

However, from the looks of it, anyone can tell that she must be the man’s secretary.

Zhao Ya’Er did not turn around to see who it was as she already knows who the person is just by his voice.

Seeing the look on her face, Yue Ling was quick to understand who the man is.

It was none other than Zhao Ya’Er’s abusive ex-boyfriend.

Hearing the sound of their footsteps headed towards them, Zhao Ya’Er was in a panic as she quickly reach for her bag and hat.

"I’m sorry, I have to leave."
