The next second, Huo Sicheng’s expression froze, and a faint pain suddenly spread through his heart.
Huo Sicheng stared fixedly at the young woman in the photo.
Countless memories suddenly flooded into his mind.
A name also became clear in his mind.
“Shen Wanqing?”
He suddenly realized that every girlfriend he had dated over the years had looked remarkably similar to Shen Wanqing.
In a flash, he thought of something, and his expression became extremely shocked.
Could it be that he had always had feelings for her?
But back then, he had genuinely only wanted to toy with her along with his friends.
Yet if he really had no feelings for her, then why had all the girlfriends he found over the years looked so much like her?
And now that he was looking at her, his heart felt particularly uncomfortable, and he even had the urge to go and see her.
He thought about his sleep disorder.
Those women who looked like Shen Wanqing could let him sleep for two or three hours every day. If Shen Wanqing herself came back into his life, wouldn’t she be able to help him sleep a normal seven or eight hours every day?
His family was wealthy, and he was also the only heir. He couldn’t afford to die young from exhaustion.
Huo Sicheng suddenly made a decision.
He was going to get back together with Shen Wanqing!
After making up his mind, he looked at the photo on his phone again and noticed that the man who was on a blind date with Shen Wanqing was quite handsome.
Huo Sicheng suddenly became anxious.
He immediately got out of bed and headed toward the dressing room while calling Lin Xi.
The call connected immediately. Lin Xi suppressed his excitement and deliberately asked, “Ah Cheng, why did you suddenly call me?”
Huo Sicheng’s words were as sharp as ever. “Stop pretending. Didn’t you deliberately send me Shen Wanqing’s photo just now? Don’t think I don’t know you were trying to test me. Hurry up and tell me where she is. Don’t waste my time!”
Lin Xi chuckled. “You sound pretty energetic. What, did you sleep well last night?”
As Huo Sicheng changed his clothes, he glanced at himself in the mirror. His dark circles were even heavier. He had clearly not slept well.
He hadn’t slept for even a minute from last night until now.
His voice was filled with irritation. “What do you think?”
Hearing the anger in his voice growing stronger, Lin Xi could tell that he might have gone two days without sleeping. It sounded a little frightening, so he immediately stopped joking and quickly changed the subject.
“Oh, you’re asking where Shen Wanqing is, right? She’s at the café I run, on a blind date. If you want to come, you’d better hurry. I’m afraid she’ll hit it off with him and leave soon. After all, that guy isn’t bad.”
Bang!
Huo Sicheng hung up.
Not long after Shen Wanqing sat down, she saw a young, handsome man walking toward her.
The man stopped in front of her and politely introduced himself with a gentle smile.
“Hello, I’m Ye Yu. May I ask if you’re Miss Shen Wanqing?”
Shen Wanqing was a little surprised. The man her mother had introduced to her was quite handsome.
Her face flushed slightly, and she hurriedly stood up.
“Hello, I’m Shen Wanqing. It’s nice to meet you.”
Ye Yu smiled gently. “I’m also very happy to meet you.”
After the two sat down, Shen Wanqing found herself a little distracted. Originally, she had only planned to come and go through the motions, but now she was beginning to hesitate.
The man was about 188 centimeters tall and had a good build. His suit was clearly of excellent quality, which made him look even more refined.
If someone like him became her boyfriend, she didn’t think she’d be losing out.
Five years had passed. She had thought she would never fall for anyone again, but she hadn’t expected that after meeting him for the first time, she would already feel a little flutter in her heart.
Their conversation afterward was very natural and comfortable. Before long, Shen Wanqing and Ye Yu were chatting enthusiastically.
After all, they were both from the same town. They could speak in their hometown dialect and talk about the local food and scenery, so they had no shortage of topics.
Before they realized it, an hour had passed.
Shen Wanqing’s impression of Ye Yu had grown better and better. So when Ye Yu asked whether she wanted to go to the nearby shopping mall with him, she nodded in agreement.
Ye Yu stood up with a gentle smile. His voice was low and magnetic.
“Waiter, the bill, please.”
Shen Wanqing hurriedly took out her phone.
“Let’s split it.”
Ye Yu looked at her gently.
“I’ll pay this time. Give me a chance to be a gentleman, okay, Wanqing?”
Faced with his sincere expression, Shen Wanqing had no choice but to nod.
“Then… okay.”
She was quite satisfied with him. If they really ended up getting married in the future, she could spend some time getting to know him. Maybe he really was the man meant for her.
So she was already looking forward to seeing him again.
Next time, she could treat him to something.
Soon, the waiter came over, and Ye Yu prepared to pay.
Just then, the glass door at the entrance was pushed open forcefully, and a tall figure strode in hurriedly.
Lin Xi and Zhang Fengyan, who had been secretly watching from behind the counter, immediately breathed a sigh of relief when they saw who had entered.
They had been waiting for an entire hour and had thought Huo Sicheng wasn’t coming.
Just now, when Shen Wanqing and Ye Yu were about to pay and leave, they had been extremely anxious, but they couldn’t exactly go over and stop them.
Fortunately, Huo Sicheng had finally arrived.
Lin Xi was especially shrewd. He deliberately ran out from behind the counter and shouted excitedly, “Ah Cheng, you’re here! Did you come to my café to eat?”
There weren’t many customers in the café at that moment. His sudden shout immediately drew everyone’s attention, including Ye Yu’s.
Shen Wanqing didn’t look over because the moment she heard Lin Xi’s voice, she suddenly found it extremely familiar.
She remembered Huo Sicheng’s friend, Lin Xi. Lin Xi’s voice sounded exactly like this, and he also used to call out to Huo Sicheng this way.
Countless memories related to Huo Sicheng suddenly filled her mind. Her heart began to ache sharply, and her face instantly turned deathly pale.
She almost lost her balance.
Ye Yu noticed that something was wrong with her and hurried to her side, reaching out to support her.
His eyes were filled with concern.
“Wanqing, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”
Shen Wanqing gave him a weak smile.
“I’m… I’m fine. I just feel a little dizzy.”
As she spoke, she discreetly pulled her hand away.
Although she currently had a good impression of Ye Yu, they had only just met, and she wasn’t accustomed to such intimate contact.
Ye Yu was about to say something else when suddenly, a series of loud, heavy footsteps sounded behind them.
A cold male voice rang out.
“Shen Wanqing, long time no see!”
Hearing this, Ye Yu turned around and looked over. He then saw the man who had just hurried into the café.
The man was exceptionally handsome, but he seemed to be taller than Ye Yu. The quality of his suit made it obvious at a glance that it had been custom-made. It was clear that his identity was not ordinary.
Ye Yu hadn’t expected Shen Wanqing to know someone like this. He suddenly became nervous, afraid that Shen Wanqing would take a liking to this man, who was clearly more outstanding than him.
He was very satisfied with Shen Wanqing and had even fallen for her at first sight. He hoped that he could be with her and was determined to treat her well.
It was just that there were too many outstanding people in this world, and Shen Wanqing was also an excellent woman. He was afraid that she wouldn’t like him.
Shen Wanqing’s face grew even paler.
She looked at Huo Sicheng in disbelief.
It really was him.
But why had he suddenly appeared in front of her and even greeted her?
It was as if everything that had happened in the past had never happened.
He had hurt her so badly and abandoned her. How could he still have the nerve to come over and greet her?
The hatred she had buried for him began to rise again.
Her gaze turned cold.
She looked at Huo Sicheng coldly, her voice completely devoid of emotion.
“I don’t know you!”
