Chapter 1: Embarrassing Encounter (3)

The bell boy who was standing at the door hesitated for a while, and asked anxiously, “Miss, do you need something?”

“Thank you, I’m fine.”

Ye Yuqing raised her head and stood up slowly. Her feet were a little numb, and it took several seconds for her to get over it. The words of the group kept haunting her mind. Han Chuan was her senior.

The two had known each other in college and met again after graduation. She liked him,  so when Han Chuan confessed, she had felt very lucky.

Not everyone had the luck to find someone who liked them back in this vast world.

Ye Yuqing still remembered that rainy day. Han Chuan had come to pick her up and tilted the umbrella to her side, the pouring rain had drenched half of his shoulder and hair, but he held her tightly in his arms. He also squatted down to tie her shoes.

So all that was fake?

But since Han Chuan didn’t like her, why did he do that?

Ye Yuqing really couldn’t understand.

She thought it was her boyfriend who was cheating on her, but now it looked like the two had gotten together a long time ago. Long before she and Han Chuan had established a relationship. After all, Han Chuan’s group of friends were not surprised by Lin Lanyue’s intimacy, it was as if she were an outsider.

So, only she did not know?

What was she then?

Ye Yuqing closed her eyes.

When Lin Lanyue returned home two months ago, Han Chuan invited her to dinner and even brought her as his girlfriend.

That girl knew that these two people were lovers, so how could she date him without any complaints?

It doesn’t make sense. How can she tolerate this?

Ye Yuqing’s head hurt as she kept thinking about it as if her brain would explode.

She turned around and took a step forward with much difficulty.

——

At the annual Qixi festival, the atmosphere was full of love, warmth, and sweetness.

Traffic lights at the downtown intersections had been changed to “heart-shapes” for today’s occasion. In the morning, the light symbolizing sweetness had maxed out on WeChat moments.

Ye Yuqing looked at the heart-shaped light. Ten seconds later, the red light turned green.

She wondered if this meant life would go smoothly in the next second?

If so, then this light was very predictive.

She was in a daze and didn’t notice where her feet were going, so when she stepped on the empty space with her right foot her whole person fell hard on the sidewalk.

The road still had heat left after exposure to the sun all day, she couldn’t tell whether it was the pain from the fall or her heart that was uncomfortable, but Ye Yuqing’s tears gushed out after being restrained for such a long time.

In this huge festive bustle, she seemed to be the only one alone and in pain.

Ye Yuqing was unbearably sad, her knees and elbows hurt as if all her strength had been drained out. She lay on the ground for a while and did not get up immediately.

After more than ten seconds, she felt that something was wrong. Why didn’t someone with a good heart come to pull her up?

She hadn’t noticed that she just fell in front of a Lamborghini.

—

Inside the car.

Harry turned his face sideways and asked the man seated next to him with uncertainty, “I’m sure I didn’t hit her, what’s wrong?”

The man in the suit and leather shoes was a little impatient. He pressed his eyebrows, but his voice was calm. “Go and ask her if she can walk by herself, or I’ll call a lawyer to negotiate.”

“Ok.”

Harry opened the door, walked over and squatted down, and asked, “Miss, have you got any injuries?”

The handsome blond and blue-eyed guy walking down the sports car increased the crowds of passersby.

What’s going on? Is this an international dispute?

What was it with this development?

She kept her head facing downwards wondering what to do now that it had become this awkward.

The bystanders began to whisper.

“Could it be that her leg got hit and broke?”

“So poor, dead already.”

“Dying at such a young age.”

“She just purposely set up an accident to demand compensation later, and accidentally knocked herself to death.”

？？？

Ye Yuqing was dumbfounded, how could someone think that she purposely set up an accident to demand compensation?

Does she look like a corpse? Shouldn’t …

“Someone has notified the front duty booth and the traffic police will be here soon!” a passerby shouted.

Ye Yuqing: “—?!”

She turned her ears to listen, there was a vague whistling of a siren, and then she jumped up the ground in the next second.

At this moment, it seemed as if blood was pouring to her face. She ignored her aching knees and elbows, stepped on her slippers, and ran forward without saying a word.

So shameful!

——

Li Che looked at the disappearing back with a blank face and withdrew his gaze, his voice did not fluctuate as he said, “Go.”

Thinking of that timid face, with genuine tears trickling down … but unfortunately, she was too timid to grasp the best time and fell down before she touched the car.

Oh, her skill at setting up an accident to demand compensation was really bad.

Harry looked up at the indicator light and joked with a smile: “Wow, the Qixi Festival signal lights are all showing hearts, maybe this is a sign, Mr. Li, your peach blossom is coming, and the iron tree is blooming!”

Li Che looked up and snorted, not intending to give any reply.

The cool sound of the sports car faded away, and the champagne colored Lamborghini drove into the hotel at the corner.
