"Qin Xu gave this to you?" Ye ming Xin asked Chu Xiaoxiao in a daze.
Chu Xiaoxiao nodded to confirm: "That's right, I saw that the package inside the box was pretty good and thought that someone had given me a birthday present to Qin Xu. I was originally too embarrassed to accept it, but it was even given to me by Qin Xu."
Chu Xiaoxiao said, while observing Ye ming Xin's face.
She paused, then continued to put on an act, "However, I saw that he didn't care about this peanut butter cake, and thought that it might not have been a gift from someone else, so I opened it up to eat. However, this peanut butter cake is really not bad. There's actually a painting on top. I wonder which cake came out from, his mind is really sharp. "
Ingenious?
Ye ming Xin could not help but smile at herself as she heard this.
This was something that she had spent two nights and failed dozens of times to produce. Naturally, she had spent all her efforts on it.
However, even though it was real, Qin Xu actually gave it away to someone else without even looking at it …
Did he despise this gift, or did he despise himself?
Ye ming Xin suddenly thought of the phone call she had with Chu Xiaoxiao earlier.
When she found out that Qin Xu had once abandoned her for a favor, she even comforted herself by saying that it wasn't that Qin Xu didn't care about her, it was just that he was forced to do so …
But now …
Ye ming Xin turned her head like a puppet, and looked at the broken peanut cake on the table again — — She could no longer continue to lie to herself, Qin Xu really did not care about her.
Otherwise, if Qin Xu cared about the fact that she liked her, he definitely would not treat her like this …
Ye ming Xin's heart felt as if it had fallen into an ice pond, and her entire body went stiff from the cold.
Although Ye ming Xin did not want to collapse in front of Chu Xiaoxiao, she still revealed an expression that she almost cried.
Chu Xiaoxiao could not help but ask him with a gentle yet worried tone, "What happened to you? "Why did it suddenly turn into a soulless state?"
Ye ming Xin wanted to smile and pretend nothing happened, but the corner of her mouth was so heavy that she couldn't even fake a smile.
But when she thought about how the person in front of him was her cousin who was close to him since childhood, Ye ming Xin decided that she wouldn't hide anything and admitted it: "The peanut butter cake that you're eating is my birthday present to Qin Xu."
"I've prepared a birthday present for a long time …" Ye ming Xin painfully lowered his eyes.
She still had something she didn't say. She was currently in a relationship with Qin Xu, but as Qin Xu's girlfriend, she gave Qin Xu a birthday present as a gift. This made her even more embarrassed.
"Huh?" Chu Xiaoxiao said in shock, "Sorry, I... I didn't know it was a gift from you. "
After saying that, she suddenly exclaimed, blaming herself: "It's also because I'm stupid. I was even suggesting on the phone that you personally make a peanut butter cake for Qin Xu, but I actually forgot about this! "But I've already eaten half of the peanut butter cake, so it's not good to send it back …"
"There's no need to send them back." Ye ming Xin interrupted Chu Xiaoxiao and said, "Since he doesn't care, there's no point in sending him back."
With that, Ye ming Xin forced out a smile that was uglier than crying. She pretended to be strong and said, "Luckily this peanut butter cake can still fill your stomach, Cousin Sis, it's not a waste."
Chu Xiaoxiao saw that her eyes were red, and it was obvious that she was trying to hold back her tears. As a result, she felt sorry for her and pulled her to sit back on the sofa, and asked sincerely: "Tell me the truth, what is your relationship with Qin Xu?"
Ye ming Xin turned her head away uncomfortably and said, "We … "He's just an ordinary friend."
She was now feeling wronged and hurt, but she did not have any plans to announce her relationship with Qin Xu.
She had previously promised Qin Xu that she would hide this from him. No matter what unforeseen event occurred between them, and no matter how her relationship with Qin Xu developed, she would keep her promise. This was her principle.
"Ordinary friend?" Chu Xiaoxiao frowned, staring at Ye ming Xin with eyes that clearly did not believe him.
She said, "If you are just ordinary friends, even if he gave me the birthday present you gave him, you can just curse him a few times in anger. But look at your current pitiful, sad, and soulless appearance, it doesn't make people think that you two are just ordinary friends."
Ye ming Xin was defeated by Chu Xiaoxiao immediately, but she still refused to admit it.
Regardless of what Chu Xiaoxiao said, she was unwilling to speak.
Chu Xiaoxiao knew that she was stubborn, and that no matter how others tried to persuade her, it would be useless. Hence, after the two of them confronted each other for a while, she sighed helplessly and said, "Alright, since you really don't want to say it, then I won't make things difficult for you. But, there is something I need to say to you anyway …"
"Regardless of whether you have a good impression of Qin Xu or not, you should stay away from him. He..." Chu Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment, then said, "At least for now, he isn't a good person for you."
"Why?" Ye ming Xin could not help but ask.
Chu Xiaoxiao frowned again, looking somewhat troubled.
She first looked at the door of the resting room, and then looked at Ye ming Xin, as though she had finally made up her mind.
However, she bafflingly asked Ye ming Xin at first: "The two of us look really similar, especially our faces that are turned sideways, you still won't deny this, right?"
Ye ming Xin nodded.
Although she and Chu Xiaoxiao were cousins, it was strange that the two of them did indeed look alike. This was also the reason why she took the initiative to get close to Chu Xiaoxiao when she was young.
Chu Xiaoxiao frowned, then lowered her voice and said: "It's a bit difficult to say … Actually, Qin Xu has a crush on me... "
Ye ming Xin's eyes suddenly widened in shock.
Although Chu Xiaoxiao had not finished speaking, she had already guessed at something …
She didn't want to accept this fact, she even hoped that Chu Xiaoxiao would stop speaking …
However, Chu Xiaoxiao was not able to receive Ye ming Xin's inner thoughts, she continued: "Long before Cheng Qi confessed to me, I already noticed that he liked me, but Cheng Qi is his brother after all, I don't want to cause too much trouble with Qin Xu, so I pretended not to know, but in reality, I carefully maintained my relationship with him …
"You know, I can't be too close to him, but I can't be too distant either. I thought that Cheng Qi and I would be leaving the country soon. It's been a long time, so Qin Xu would naturally forget about me. So, if you weren't involved, I was planning to completely bury this matter in my stomach, and I wouldn't tell anyone.
"But since my birthday last time, I realized that your relationship with Qin Xu was getting more and more out of hand. It's not that I'm narcissistic, but I really can feel that Qin Xu hasn't let me down yet … If there is any relationship between you two that exceeds that of ordinary friends, I hope you can stop it in time and stop continuing with him. I'm afraid …
"I'm afraid he's using you as a substitute for me."
As Chu Xiaoxiao spoke, she was firmly grasping Ye ming Xin's hands, and it seemed as if they were extremely connected to each other.
But Ye ming Xin shook her head with all her might, unwilling to believe Chu Xiaoxiao's words.
She would rather believe that Qin Xu didn't like her at all and was only responsible for her at the moment, than to believe that he had always been using her as a substitute for Chu Xiaoxiao …
This was even more embarrassing than not liking her at all …
Chu Xiaoxiao's words were simply too shocking for her.
Even though Ye ming Xin recalled it, Qin Xu seemed to be more friendly to her cousin Chu Xiaoxiao than most others. Also, Chu Xiaoxiao had once said that Qin Xu listened more to her words, and just now, when she found out that Chu Xiaoxiao was hungry, she gave him the gift she sent him without hesitation …
But Ye ming Xin still did not believe Chu Xiaoxiao's words.
"You're lying to me on purpose, aren't you?" Ye ming Xin looked fragile, but at the same time, she was deceiving herself, "Even if you don't want me to have a secret relationship with Qin Xu, you don't need to make up such a reason to lie to me. I don't want to talk to you anymore, I …"
"I'm leaving!" She suddenly retracted the hand that Chu Xiaoxiao was holding, stood up and ran out of the door, leaving the resting room.
But as soon as she left the room, two streams of tears fell uncontrollably.
It wasn't that she didn't want to believe some of it, but that it had to be fake …
Chu Xiaoxiao saw Ye ming Xin running out and guessed that although she did not believe her words, she had definitely heard it, which was why she reacted so greatly.
Although the words Chu Xiaoxiao said to Ye ming Xin just now were mostly lies, she was still more than 90% certain that Qin Xu was using Ye ming Xin as his substitute.
The reason why Qin Xu treated Ye ming Xin so special now was only because Ye ming Xin had a face similar to hers. Because Qin Xu couldn't get her, he found a fake to comfort him.
But Chu Xiaoxiao was not happy that Ye ming Xin had made her own forgery …
Ye ming Xin's self-esteem was strong, but he was also a bit arrogant. Once she found out that Qin Xu had used her as a substitute, he would definitely break all ties with Qin Xu.
Seeing that Ye ming Xin had passed the day and allowed Qin Xu to have a happy birthday, or was he going to directly interrogate Qin Xu at the birthday banquet …
Firstly, Chu Xiaoxiao had the mindset of watching a good show, secondly, she was afraid that Ye ming Xin would be agitated. In the event that any mishaps were to occur, she would follow behind Ye ming Xin and chase after him.
Ye ming Xin ran out of the resting room and went straight to the first floor.
She was afraid that if she stayed here any longer, she would collapse. Therefore, she had to leave as soon as possible.
She kept her head down as she ran to the hall on the first floor. Just as she reached the hall, she heard the voice that came from Qin Xu's microphone. It was Qin Xu giving her a birthday speech right now.
But Ye ming Xin's footsteps paused, without even the courage to look in Qin Xu's direction, she continued to run towards the exit. When she passed by a waiter, she still wanted to stop her and ask if she needed help, but she was ignored by Ye ming Xin.
