Yuan Wei turned around and looked at Qu Yan Yan's departing back. His brows were slightly knitted as he secretly tried to guess what she had done today.
Did she go to see Du Liqing?
The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed to be true. The irritation in his heart made him retract his gaze. He turned around, opened the door and drove the car inside.
"Hey, help me investigate the location of Dean's current location." Yuan Wei returned home and sat on the sofa. He undid the buttons on his suit impatiently and poured himself a cup of water before gulping it down. He placed the cup on the table, took out his phone and called the assistant as he coldly instructed.
As soon as he finished speaking, he hung up the phone after receiving the other party's consent. He threw his phone onto the sofa, tore off his tie and headed upstairs. Back in his bedroom, he went straight to the bathroom and took a cold shower, hoping to wash away his current unhappiness.
That night, Yuan Wei was in his study, finishing his preparations. As he walked downstairs, he saw the phone buried on the sofa. His mind was replayed with the intimate scenes of his interactions with Qu Yan.
The corner of his lips curled up into a mocking smile. He shook his head and forced the warm image in his mind to fade away. Then, he picked up his mobile phone and turned around to leave, not wanting to think too much about it. He went upstairs and lay on the soft bed in his bedroom, his hands behind his head, his thoughts drifting away for some reason.
The phone on the bedside table vibrated and the screen lit up. Yuan Wei came back to his senses and picked up his phone. He saw a message from his subordinate. He clicked it and discovered that it was the address of Du Liqing's current company. He slid it up and saw other relevant information.
"The meeting tomorrow afternoon is over." Yuan Wei finished reading and pondered for a while. In the end, he decided to meet with Du Ruqing tomorrow and apologize. Once he had made up his mind, he directly called the secretary and gave her an order.
The next day, Yuan Wei went to the company and quickly finished what he was doing. He intentionally avoided the path of Qu Yan's research.
In the afternoon, Yuan Wei carefully walked out of the company and drove towards Du Liqing's company. Soon, he arrived at his destination. He found a parking space, parked his car, and walked inside.
"Hello, I would like to see your boss, Du Liqing." Yuan Yuan walked over to the receptionist and informed her of his purpose.
"Sure, please wait a moment." The receptionist looked at Yuan Wei and felt that he had no ill intentions. Thus, she didn't dare to delay any longer.
The receptionist was just about to make a call when she saw Lu Juyan walk to the center of the hall. He pointed at Yuan Wei and deliberately shook his head, indicating that he couldn't let this person in to see Du Liqing.
After understanding this hint, the receptionist immediately retracted her hand and stopped her impulse to make a phone call. Yuan Wei felt that something was amiss. He turned around and looked at the receptionist, but didn't see anyone. He subconsciously opened his mouth to ask, "What's wrong? Can't I?"
"I'm sorry, sir, but our boss doesn't have the time to see you right now." The receptionist looked at Yuan Wei's handsome face and felt heartache for him. On the surface, she replied him with a serious expression.
Lu Juyan, who had long since arrived at the staircase, had been observing Yuan Wei's movements. At this moment, he didn't want any man to get close to Du Lianqing in order to avoid her being tempted by him. Furthermore, he didn't want her to choose to rely on him.
Yuan Wei asked again and again and only got the same answer from the reception desk. This made him feel quite dejected. He secretly sighed in his heart, but he couldn't force his way in. He could only reluctantly leave this place.
He walked back to the car and took out his cell phone to call Du Liqing. However, a mechanical voice came out of the phone: "The number you dialed is not in the service area."
Only now did Yuan Wei know that Du Liqing had already changed his phone number. Ye Zichen frowned. Just as he wanted to wait for a while, he received a call from his secretary. The secretary reported on the company's situation. The matter was so serious that he had to hurry back to the company to deal with it.
By the time Yuan Wei was done with his work, the sky had already darkened. He looked at the time on his phone and shook his head helplessly. Without saying anything, he left the company and headed home.
On the morning of the second day, Yuan Wei deliberately pushed away everything that happened in the morning and went to Du Liqing's company. He stood in the front hall and waited for her to appear.
Not long after, Du Liqing and Lu Juyan arrived at the company from home and prepared to go to work.
Just as the two of them entered the reception hall, Yuan Wei walked up and blocked Du Liqing's path. With a polite smile, he spoke in an indifferent manner, "Long time no see."
"Long time no see. Why did you come? Is the fact that you and Yama Minamiya are going to split up true?" Du Ruqing saw the childhood sweetheart in front of her, and a trace of astonishment flashed through her heart. Her mind flashed with the words she had researched a few days ago. A trace of worry flashed in her eyes, but she still could not help but ask.
The relationship between the three of them wasn't that simple. Seeing the two of them in such a state, how could Du Liqing not worry? However, there was nothing he could do.
"Hm, so you're here to cause trouble?" I'm sorry, I'm here to help her apologize to you. " Yuan Wei nodded. He looked at Du Liqing's worried expression and couldn't change this fact. He selectively changed the topic, knowing that he might not be able to coexist peacefully with Qu Yan Shi in the future. However, he did not want to create trouble for Du Ruqing, so he could only inform her in advance.
"It's fine. I want to know why you broke up." Yuan Wei's actions didn't seem like he didn't care about Qu Yanzhi at all. This made Du Liqing feel very confused. A confused feeling rippled through his heart as he slowly asked with a sigh in the bottom of his heart.
She did not want the three of them to end their relationship like this, but right now, she was afraid that things would not be so easy to resolve. However, she still had to know. If she did not understand, Qu Yan Yan would probably misunderstand her for the rest of her life, and the both of them would probably miss it too.
Yuan Wei looked at Du Qing's confused appearance and knew the whole story behind it. Once again, he felt that Qu Yan's impulsive personality didn't suit him. She couldn't help but blurt out the truth in front of Du Liqing's clean eyes.
"I still have that picture." Yuan Wei took out his phone after he finished speaking. He took out the photo from the photo album and showed it to Du Liqing.
"I've also received this photo before. It's exactly the same!" Du Ruqing's heart tightened, she felt a little familiar. After looking carefully for a while, she realized that she had received an identical photo from a stranger a few months ago, which had caused her to break off all contact with Lu Juyan.
Her thoughts continued to wander as her emotions from before echoed in her mind. She couldn't get used to it. She took out her phone and prepared to look for the photo, but found that she had already changed her phone number and the record had long since disappeared. His thoughts turned to Qu Yan Shi, only then did he come to his senses.
"Perhaps the purpose of the person who posted the picture was to let research mistakenly believe that I haven't given up on you yet." Du Ruqing slightly frowned. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the person who posted the photo behind it was more repulsive.
