At the same time, Xie Xun’s phone kept pinging with text messages. Just as Xie Xun picked up his phone, Qin Zheng’s message popped up.

Xie Xun didn’t want to pay attention to it, but when he saw the content of the message, his eyes froze.

“Xie Xun, come to the coffee shop downstairs of my company at 2 o’clock in the afternoon. I’ll ask Lu Yixuan to apologize to you.”

..

In the coffee shop, Qin Zheng and Lu Yixuan sat opposite each other.

Qin Zheng swirled the juice in her hand and looked at the man sitting opposite her. She said casually, “Lu Yixuan, you can’t be so naïve as to think that I came out to meet you and really want to apologize to you, right?”

Lu Yixuan looked at Qin Zheng’s delicate face. “I know you won’t apologize.”

“That’s right. Of course I won’t apologize.” Qin Zheng gave a confident smile and said, “As for you, have you found out the truth about your photos?”

Lu Yixuan’s eyes darkened. He paused for a moment and said, “Those photos are fake. They were synthesized later.”

Qin Zheng didn’t show any surprise after hearing that. After all, how could Xie Xun like Su Mei’er?

“If that’s the case, you should apologize for that day…”

“Qin Zheng, I’m sorry.”

Before Qin Zheng could finish, Lu Yixuan suddenly apologized. Qin Zheng looked up subconsciously.

Lu Yixuan looked at her deeply. “I’m sorry, I betrayed you.”

Qin Zheng was stunned. Ever since they broke off the engagement, they hadn’t talked much, let alone met each other. Lu Yixuan had never apologized for cheating on her.

After the two of them got engaged, they dated for more than a year. During this year, they spent less time together and more time apart. The relationship between Qin Zheng and Lu Yixuan was actually no different from an ordinary arranged marriage. It was as plain as water, dull and tasteless. There was not even the slightest bit of passion between a man and a woman.

This kind of way of getting along was okay at the beginning. He thought it was quite interesting, but as time passed, Lu Yixuan began to feel that Qin Zheng was too dull and tasteless. There was no meaning in living with such a woman.

Therefore, when Su Mei’er appeared in front of him again, crying and saying that she was still in love with him, and even saying that she didn’t want any status and was willing to be his secret lover, Lu Yixuan was moved. After getting drunk once, he naturally had s*x with Su Mei’er. Later, when Qin Zheng found out about his affair with Su Mei’er, the engagement between the two of them was also broken off.

Not long after their engagement was broken off, Qin Zheng fell in love with someone else and chased after that lowly bartender, Xie Xun. Lu Yixuan initially thought that Qin Zheng was deliberately provoking him to make him regret it.

It was not until Qin Zheng’s birthday party not long ago that he saw the way Qin Zheng looked at that man that he suddenly realized that Qin Zheng really fell in love with that bartender.

Qin Zheng thought for a moment. “I accept your apology, but you still have to…”

Before she could say the words ‘apologize to Xie Xun’, she was interrupted again.

Lu Yixuan said, “Qin Zheng, let’s make up.”

Qin Zheng was stunned. “What did you say?”

Lu Yixuan looked at her deeply. “I was obsessed with Su Mei’er’s matter. I hope you can forgive me. I promise that I will never make the same mistake twice.” He said in a gentle voice, “Qin Zheng, you should know that the two of us are the most suitable. I know that you have always wanted to take back the Qin Corporation. After we get married, the Lu Corporation will do its best to help you.”

Qin Zheng’s face turned cold. “Lu Yixuan, it’s impossible for us to reconcile.”

Lu Yixuan was puzzled. “Why? Because of that bartender? Qin Zheng, you know very well that his status is not worthy of you, nor can he provide you with any help. If you were to be with him, it would cause the Qin family to be dissatisfied, and…”

Qin Zheng raised her hand to interrupt him. “Even without Xie Xun, I will not be with you.” She looked straight into Lu Yixuan’s eyes. She said word by word, “To me, there can only be zero betrayals. If you can’t resist the temptation of Su Mei’er today and betray me, you won’t be able to resist the temptation of business the next time and betray me in terms of benefits.”

Lu Yixuan was anxious. “Qin Zheng, you can’t compare the two things together. Moreover, you can correct your mistakes. Aren’t there many examples of a prodigal turning back? After this lesson, I will cherish the feelings between us even more. This is something that other people can’t do.”

Qin Zheng was indifferent. “But after this incident, I don’t have any trust in you.”
