The extremely luxurious long hallway was brightly lit.
The man in the suit frowned and leaned uncomfortably against the intricately carved wall.
He raised his hand to unbutton the first button, loosened his tie and walked towards the end of the corridor as he suppressed a sense of arousal.
Over there, there was an open window.
The cold night breeze that came in tingled between his ears, dispersing some of the heat that had swirled in the air around him.
When Qi Yan saw Yue Yun Jin leave the room, she gingerly followed him and emerged from the darkness once she arrived in the hallway with few people around.
She raised her eyes to catch a glimpse of the tall, familiar figure facing the window, enjoying the breeze. He seemed to be talking to someone on the phone.
Figuring that it was about time for the effects of the drug to kick in, she openly walked over to him and called out his name.
Yue Yun Jin’s hand movements paused for a moment. Just as he turned around, he glanced at Qi Yan, who had already approached him. Once again, he saw the beautiful petite face that he had loved and hated, but his heart was unusually calm.
Although he had fallen into someone’s trap, there wasn’t a single ripple in his heart when he looked at that face now.
He saw the woman appearing to be very surprised.
“Yue Yun Jin…It’s really you. I didn’t expect to see you here. It’s been a long time. How have you been all these years?”
“I saw you at the banquet just now and thought I was mistaken. Are you not feeling well? I ……”
As she spoke and when her body was about to press against him, Yue Yun Jin hastily avoided her and kept a distance. His gaze was colder than the night breeze blowing in, bitingly cutting across that face.
Although the other party concealed it well, how could he not tell what she was thinking as someone who was the most familiar with Qi Yan back then?
In an instant, he understood what the current encounter was all about, and a flash of cold disgust flashed across his indifferent face.
Qi Yan inexplicably shuddered when her eyes met with those eyes that had no warmth. Yue Yun Jin clearly hadn’t said anything, but just one look and his avoidance were so oppressive that she was rooted to the spot.
For a while, the walkway fell into an eerie silence.
When no response was heard on the other end of the call for a long time, the party on the other end asked Yue Yun Jin, “Is everything alright? There seemed to be a female voice just now.”
The man’s attractive, cold tone sounded in the room. Yue Yun Jin withdrew his gaze and said with a raspy voice, “It’s fine.”
“Elder Brother Shen, that’s all for now. I suddenly have something to attend to.”
After hearing the other party respond with an “okay”, Yue Yun Jin lowered his hand, lifted the hem of his black coat, and immediately placed his phone into his trouser pocket.
Qi Yan pursed her lips. Upon seeing that Yue Yun Jin was not going to pay attention to her and was about to leave, she hurriedly shouted, “Yue Yue Jin, you….”
Just when she was about to say something, she was interrupted by a cold, scornful voice, “Shouldn’t you know any better if I’m uncomfortable or not? After three years of not meeting you, your methods have really become increasingly underhanded and fake, Qi Yan.”
How does he know that I have drugged him?
Qi Yan’s face turned white with shock. “No, I ……”
“Qi Yan, am I just a fool who is easy to deceive in your eyes?”
“No matter what, we’ve at least been together for five years. No one knows you better than I do. But now that I think about it, those five years were ridiculous.” Yue Yun Jin gave a self-deprecating sneer.
“You don’t have to act in front of me and mention the past. I’ve never wronged you. At that time, I broke up because of my pride. I didn’t want you to know that the Yue family was bankrupt, and I stubbornly wanted to look good in front of you by saying that I had fallen in love with someone else. Because I knew you would dump me quickly once I ran out of money.”
“It’s ridiculous that even though I was still deeply in love at that time. However, once the Yue family went bankrupt, I couldn’t afford to pay for your vampire-like relatives, much less support you.”
