“But you took wedding photos with her!” Li Zi could not take it anymore and shouted at him, “Xie Ming! I don’t love you anymore! I have my own boyfriend! Don’t say such things again!”

Xie Ming widened his eyes and grabbed Li Zi’s wrist tightly. He pulled her in front of him and glared at her fiercely. “You said you would always love me! You secretly wrote a love letter but didn’t dare to give it to me!”

Li Zi was stunned. She looked up at his red eyes in surprise. “You-you’ve seen that letter? When?”

Xie Ming was suddenly at a loss for words. He remembered that when he had seen the letter, he was with another woman. The woman had secretly shown him the letter as a joke.

What did he say back then?

He put his arm around the other woman’s shoulders. There was still a bright red lipstick mark on his bare chest. After reading the letter, he casually threw it into the trash can. His tone was frivolous and smug. “Lots of girls like me. She can join the queue.”

Seeing that he had suddenly shut up and backed down, Li Zi instantly understood what he was hiding. Her rosy face turned pale, and her lips trembled uncontrollably. “You-you read it with someone else, right? Xie Ming, you really should not look for me anymore.The sight of you disgusts me!”

With that, Li Zi suddenly reached out and snatched her phone from his pocket. Then, she ran back to the mall without looking back, leaving Xie Ming standing there, unable to move. He could only watch helplessly as her figure vanished.

Outside the mall, Shen Yin had already searched the entire mall several times. Just as she was about to show her police badge and get the mall manager to check the surveillance cameras, Li Zi suddenly called.

Shen Yin finally relaxed when she picked up the call. “Where are you? I’ll come get you now.”

“I’m at the entrance of the mall. It’s the entrance we came in from.” Li Zi apologetically told Shen Yin her currently location.

Shen Yin immediately agreed. “Alright, wait for me. I’ll come and find you now.”

A few minutes later, Shen Yin felt that her legs were about to break from running. Only then did she see Li Zi looking around. She hurriedly grabbed Li Zi’s hand and scanned her. “Are you alright? Was the person who took you away just now Xie Ming? What did he say to you?”

Li Zi thought of what Xie Ming had said and her eyelashes trembled slightly. Her voice instantly became weak. “He-he said that he wants to marry me.”

“What?” Shen Yin widened her eyes in disbelief and asked nervously, “You didn’t agree, right?”

“Of course not!” Li Zi would not let herself fall into this trap again. She had finally found a place where she belonged. She could not repeat the same mistake.

Shen Yin heaved a long sigh of relief and pulled her into the mall. “Let’s go eat something first. I digested all the hotpot I ate in the morning while looking for you. Let’s sit down and talk while eating.”

The two of them found a self-service barbecue restaurant. After grabbing a few of their favorite dishes and meat, they sat down and sipped their drinks.

Li Zi sighed and recounted what had happened. Then, she held Shen Yin’s hand and asked, “Why do you think he suddenly came to say he will marry me?”

Shen Yin sneered and commented mercilessly, “Cheap! Anyone with eyes could see how much you liked him, but he pretended not to notice and enjoyed your attention. He changed girlfriends repeatedly and broke your heart so many times. I think this is retribution!”

Li Zi could not help but feel amused. She bit the straw and muttered, “If he had come to me earlier, I might have agreed.”

“That won’t do!” Shen Yin frowned righteously. “I’d be the first to protest! I won’t allow you to marry a scumbag like him!”

After saying that, Shen Yin looked at Li Zi’s silent expression in disbelief, “Don’t tell me you still have feelings for him?”

“No!” Li Zi instantly raised her head and denied it. Seeing her best friend’s suspicious gaze, she sighed and explained, “I can’t accommodate two men in my heart. Since I chose Fang Cheng, I will be with him properly. I won’t fantasize about other things.”

“That’s good. As long as you and Fang Cheng are happy, you can tell Xie Ming to get lost!” Shen Yin was very happy for her friend.

In her opinion, Fang Cheng was polite, had a stable job, earned a good salary and was very elegant. He even took such good care of Li Zi. He was much better than Xie Ming in every way!

But Li Zi had misjudged him, which was why she had fallen in love with a scumbag like Xie Ming!

Li Zi thought of everything that had happened with Fang Cheng recently, and her heart was filled with warmth. She could not help but blush. She lowered his head and whispered, “If only Fang Cheng and I can be like you and Lian Jing.”

Although the two of them were not married yet, in Li Zi’s opinion, this was only a matter of time. She had personally seen Lian Jing being ordered around by Shen Yin at her birthday banquet without showing any annoyance.

If their relationships could go smoothly, they might even hold a grand double wedding.
