Chapter 1264: Chapter 1265: The Woman Deeply Rooted in His Heart
Qin Guozhong turned his head to glance at his worried-looking wife and patted her hand. "Don’t worry, we seem to have pinpointed a place, and we should find it soon."
Hearing this, Zhuang Yanyan wanted to feel relieved, but her heart still couldn’t settle down.
.
At noon, Xiang Jinnan took Feng Jinglei to a high-end restaurant for a hearty meal.
In the past two days, this was the best meal Feng Jinglei had eaten.
After the meal, she watched Xiang Jinnan go to pay the bill. She wanted to pay herself, but the few tens of yuan in her pocket weren’t even close to enough for the tip, let alone the entire meal. Thinking about it, she couldn’t help but laugh at herself.
But she wasn’t worried; as long as she had a job, she could make a living on her own in this bustling metropolis.
"Jinglei, wait for me a moment, I’m going to the restroom."
Xiang Jinnan smiled as he spoke after paying the bill.
Feng Jinglei smiled back. "Alright."
Then, Xiang Jinnan turned and left.
Gazing at his tall and matching figure, Qin Feimo’s face suddenly flashed in Feng Jinglei’s mind.
Why didn’t he have Xiang Jinnan’s humility and courtesy, that gentle and elegant demeanor? Every time he looked at her, it was with a distant gaze that made it hard for her to get close. Ever since the incident with Ma Qianqian, he had treated her like she was an enemy...
Why is it like this...
She had yearned for him for twelve years. Even knowing that this emotion would likely lead to nothing, being hated and despised by him was not what she wanted.
Whenever she thought about it, her chest ached faintly as if pierced by needles.
Especially knowing that the man she had yearned for twelve years had already been infatuated with Ma Qianqian. Even though she had passed away, someone like her would be deeply rooted and unforgettable in Qin Feimo’s heart.
She took a deep breath and then exhaled, trying to ease her heavy heart. As she looked up, she met a pair of familiar eyes—clear, cold, and inscrutable.
Seeing Qin Feimo, Feng Jinglei was momentarily startled.
Qin Feimo’s gaze moved slowly from her beautiful face down to the table where the finished steak was sitting.
And it was a meal for two. Was there someone sitting across from her?
It seemed she wasn’t lonely and helpless after all; she had friends, didn’t she?
At this thought, any remaining pity he had for her vanished instantly, replaced only by indifference.
Striding into the restaurant, Qin Feimo walked past Feng Jinglei’s booth without a glance and headed toward a private room on the second floor.
As he walked, he caught sight of another familiar figure and face.
"President Qin."
Emerging from the restroom and returning to the restaurant, Xiang Jinnan was also somewhat surprised to see Qin Feimo.
Qin Feimo gave him a glance and lightly pressed his thin lips. "Yes."
Sparse with words, he responded to Xiang Jinnan only because of his impressive abilities. In just three years, he had risen from a small employee to the department manager of ’Golden Week Eight,’ earning Qin Feimo’s deep impression.
Watching that authoritative silhouette walk away, Xiang Jinnan finished greeting him and turned back to where Feng Jinglei was seated.
From the moment Qin Feimo entered, Feng Jinglei’s gaze had never left him. Seeing Xiang Jinnan, who had walked out from the restroom, actually interacting with him, she couldn’t help but be slightly stunned.
Senior Nan knows Qin Feimo?
"Jinglei."
Walking over to where Feng Jinglei sat, Xiang Jinnan spoke with a smile.
And at the moment he called out "Jinglei," Qin Feimo, who should have been heading upstairs, paused his steps, turning his head to look at the booth by the window not far away.
