Su Qinghuan’s beautiful eyes were fixed tightly on Qin Chuan, trying to find even a trace of warmth in those calm eyes.
But there was nothing. Those eyes no longer held the passionate emotions they once did. There was only a stagnant pool, without the slightest ripple.
“Miss Su, we have already made things very clear. You made your choice, and I chose to let go. From now on, we go our separate ways.”
His voice was utterly calm.
The Qin Chuan who had once had eyes only for Su Qinghuan was already dead, killed by Su Qinghuan herself.
Now, he was the Young Master of the Qin Royal Mansion.
He was an unparalleled genius who had obtained an inheritance.
After the divorce, he still had more important things to do.
“No!”
Su Qinghuan’s voice suddenly rose, drawing the attention of the surrounding diners.
“Qin Chuan, it has been five years. We have been together for five whole years. Is this how you treat me?”
Her voice trembled violently, carrying an uncontrollable sob. “Do you even know that I have never wronged you…”
Qin Chuan remained standing quietly. “Saying these things now is meaningless.”
“The person you have been thinking about for five years is already standing in front of you. Isn’t that enough?”
Gu Yunshen stepped forward and gently wrapped an arm around Su Qinghuan’s shoulder. “Huanhuan, do not be sad over someone like him. He is not worth it.”
“He is just a liar who plays with feelings. People like him will come to a bad end.”
Seeing the two like this, Ye Linglong suddenly burst into laughter.
That laughter was like a sharp blade, stabbing into Su Qinghuan’s heart once again.
“CEO Su,” Ye Linglong’s red lips parted slightly, her voice full of mockery, “was it not enough that you left your husband and hugged this pretty boy at the airport, causing a citywide uproar?”
“As far as I know, you even brought this pretty boy home. That is why your husband left you. And now you are acting aggrieved?”
“Do you not find your behavior disgusting, playing both sides like this?”
As soon as those words fell, a collective gasp sounded around them.
Su Qinghuan was the well-known unattainable beauty of Tianhai, the dream lover of countless people.
And yet she had done something so improper?
“Shut up! What do you even know?” Su Qinghuan suddenly screamed.
She shook off Gu Yunshen and stepped forward, almost pressing herself against Qin Chuan.
“Qin Chuan, tell me. What exactly is going on between you and this bitch? Tell me this is not real!”
Qin Chuan took half a step back, his brows tightening. “Miss Su, please have some self-respect.”
“Self-respect?” Su Qinghuan suddenly laughed, her voice carrying a hint of hysteria. “Qin Chuan, you are talking to me about self-respect?”
“Who was the one who waited for me until midnight every day?”
“Who loved me to the core and knew everything about me?”
“Who…” Her voice choked. “Who said he would love me for a lifetime?”
“Why are you with this bitch? Why are you treating me like this?”
The whispers in the restaurant grew louder and louder. Some people even took out their phones to record.
Su Qinghuan, Tianhai’s famous unattainable beauty.
Ye Linglong, the notorious Tianhai Enchantress.
This was undoubtedly a shocking spectacle.
Yet Su Qinghuan seemed completely unaware of the crowd. In her eyes, there was only the Qin Chuan before her, who had suddenly become so unfamiliar.
“Huanhuan, do not be like this…” Gu Yunshen stepped forward again. “He is just a liar who plays with feelings. There is no need to be sad over him…”
“Get away!” The collapsing Su Qinghuan shoved him aside and turned to look at Qin Chuan, only to see Ye Linglong naturally wrap her arm around Qin Chuan’s.
Her full, rounded curves pressed tightly against him, her entire body almost leaning into Qin Chuan.
“You… when did this start between you two?”
The scene before her was too piercing.
She knew this was what Qin Chuan had always longed for. He had told her countless times that he wanted to experience a normal relationship between lovers.
But she had always dismissed it, never taking it seriously.
And yet, in the blink of an eye, this woman Ye Linglong had appeared by Qin Chuan’s side.
Looking at the collapsing Su Qinghuan, Ye Linglong spoke with a charming smile. “CEO Su, did you really think Mr. Qin would be your backup for life?”
“If you do not cherish him, someone else will. Do you not agree?”
“Bitch, shut up!” Su Qinghuan screamed. “Qin Chuan, I want an answer. When did you two start?”
Qin Chuan looked at the collapsing Su Qinghuan and sighed. “Su Qinghuan, from the moment you brought Gu Yunshen home, we were already finished. Please…”
“No…” Su Qinghuan rushed forward again, grabbing Qin Chuan’s collar, pressing herself against him. “No, it is not over!”
“I will not allow it. Qin Chuan, look at me. Look at me…”
Her tears finally burst forth. “I never wronged you. Why should it end like this?”
Feeling Su Qinghuan pressed tightly against him, Qin Chuan’s heart still stirred slightly.
To say he did not love her at all would be false. After all, it had been five whole years.
But everything was already too late.
He had let go.
He reached out and pried her fingers away one by one. His movements were gentle, yet firm. “Su Qinghuan, the Qin Chuan who loved you is already dead, killed by your own hands.” Follow the newest chapters on novelping . com.
“Now, I just want to be myself. Let me go.”
“The person you have been thinking about for five years is already by your side, is he not?”
Tears streaming down her face, Su Qinghuan shook her head frantically. “I do not want that… I do not want that…”
She had indeed thought about Gu Yunshen for five years. She had believed she could not let him go.
But now it seemed that Gu Yunshen was merely an obsession born from unwillingness deep in her heart.
She did not want to let Qin Chuan go like this. She could not bear it.
Looking at the sobbing Su Qinghuan, a trace of pity suddenly flashed in Ye Linglong’s eyes.
“CEO Su, do you know how much Qin Chuan has done for you over these years?”
Su Qinghuan looked up blankly, not understanding what this woman was about to say.
Seeing the confusion on her face, Ye Linglong sighed deeply.
Su Qinghuan was a highly intelligent businesswoman. Even Ye Linglong had suffered losses at her hands in the business world.
Yet unexpectedly, this woman lacked emotional intelligence to such an extent. No wonder things had reached this point.
“CEO Su, five years ago, when your Su Group’s capital chain broke, a large amount of mysterious funds entered.”
“You never even figured out where those funds came from. Did you think they fell from the sky?”
“When you had that car accident and both your legs were broken, it was Mr. Qin who invited countless experts overnight, exhausting immense effort.”
“And those massive high-value orders your company received, where do you think they came from? Do you really think they came because of you?”
With every sentence Ye Linglong spoke, Su Qinghuan’s face grew paler. Now she was completely bloodless.
“And yet you, for this man…” Her gaze shifted toward Gu Yunshen, filled with disdain. “abandoned the one who truly loved you…”
This man was clearly no good. He simply had the ability to chase after every woman he saw.
“N-no… that is impossible… Qin Chuan never told me any of this…”
Su Qinghuan’s face was full of disbelief. Even though Qin Chuan had mentioned some of it two days ago, she had not truly believed it.
Qin Chuan was just an orphan without background or status. It was impossible for him to accomplish all this.
Seeing her disbelief, Ye Linglong’s expression grew even more sorrowful. “Mr. Qin did not tell you because he did not want you to feel indebted.”
“Even I, an outsider, can see it clearly. Yet you, as his wife, were full of doubt and never trusted him. How tragic.”
“But none of this matters anymore. The man you abandoned, I will cherish as a treasure.”
At that moment, Gu Yunshen suddenly sneered. “Who cannot make up stories?”
“Qin Chuan is just a useless good-for-nothing, a pretty boy living off others. How could he possibly have the ability to revive the Su Group?”
“You do not even believe your own words, yet you use them to deceive Huanhuan. Do you not find yourself despicable?”
“He could not keep his own woman, so now he has you pretend to act deeply affectionate? Ridiculous.”
“Do you think such petty tricks can fool me and Huanhuan? Dream on!”
