Mr. CEO Loves The Devilish Beauty

It’s bizarre how we love someone eminently, only to be told that we are not good enough for them. And the worst part of that statement is; you spent every second trying to be the best version of yourself for that person and it takes him only a minute to say, "We’re not meant to be."

With these thoughts and a bottle of beer in hand, Wu Wang went to a quiet corner behind the shrubs. He perched down on the green grass and looked into the distance.

"Let my hand go!" Wu Wang’s ears perked up when he heard that familiar voice that once made him feel special but now, it only brought the feeling of being unwanted.

"What are you doing here?" Wu Wang’s brows knitted together since the masculine was also of someone he was familiar with.

"It’s my cousin’s birthday. I have to be here." Zhou Qi replied matter-of-factly.

"I have a question for you," Ming Qu said and stared at Zhou Qi’s face. "Was your boyfriend back then..." he hesitated before continuing, "Was it Wu Wang?"

A silence followed that question. "Answer me, damn it!" Ming Qu raised his voice a bit in exasperation.

"Yes. It was Wu Wang. So what?" Zhou Qi snapped back at him.

"Sh*t!" Ming Qu raked his fingers through his hairs. "And you still haven’t told him why you broke up?"

"I didn’t and I won’t!" She was adamant on her words while Ming Qu glared at her.

"Have you lost your mind? I asked you to tell him even back then. And you’re still keeping it from him after years?" Ming Qu felt a huge burden weighing down on his shoulders.

Zhou Qi bit down on her lips and meekly said, "I can’t tell him. I won’t be able to bear the look in his eyes. What if he felt disgusted?"

"And the look of hatred is better?" Ming Qu retorted.

Zhou Qi shook her head saying, "I don’t know. I don’t know anything at all. You just stop showing me your face. It reminds of the time I desperately want to forget."

"Huh! Do you think I’m any better? Especially after you just told me that your ex-boyfriend was actually my brother-in-law? You’re impossible!" Ming Qu was looking at her with disdain.

"What else could I do? I wanted him to have a better life." She tried to defend herself but it felt like excuses to Ming Qu.

"Humph! After ruining him, you still have the audacity to say that you wanted a better life for him? Miss. Zhou, you’re nothing but a coward. You were back then and you are even now!" With that, Ming Qu left her alone standing in the dark.

Behind the shrubs, Wu Wang listened to everything in silence even the sniffling sound that followed after Ming Qu walked away.

What he was thinking? Nothing! Or perhaps, even he didn’t know what was on his mind. He only knew that he wanted to shut his mind for a while.

How Ming Qu and Zhou Qi knew each other? The answer wasn’t difficult to guess. One was Ye Jie’s cousin and the other was his friend. As for what secret they had, he strangely didn’t want to know.

He spent 8 years of his life feeling ’not good enough’ and nothing could bring back those 8 years of his life. He was the only one who knew how his heart broke into pieces every day and how he had sewed those pieces together every night just so he could smile before everyone in the morning.

He waited for her even after being brutally rejected but he had been so disappointed in the past years that he didn’t even have the wish to see her again. There was nothing left in his heart anymore. Neither love nor any attachment. There was only a broken heart which had learned to live with the emptiness between it.

Between the crowd, the parents had made a separate group to discuss their children’s lives with each other.

"Ge, don’t you think it’s time for Jian to get married?" He Susu asked her brother He Kun.

He Kun sighed heavily as he said, "He’s still not over it." His eyes were on Wu Wang’s father as he spoke those words. He directly didn’t mention it but everyone knew that he was talking about how He Jian wasn’t over his ex-fiance, Wu Weiwei.

"I think it’s about time that he stops living for someone who has left this world for good." Even though it pained Wu-Wong to talk about his eldest daughter, he still had to. He couldn’t let He Jian waste away his life waiting for his dead daughter.

Lin Shen’s father, Lin Han patted Wu-Wong’s shoulder saying, "That’s called love, my friend. And it’s already very rare to find that kind of love in this generation."

"But I still think that He Jian should get married. Why don’t you look for some candidates, Qinyang?" Wu-Wong turned to He Jian’s mother.

Zhu Qinyang rubbed her forehead as she felt a headache coming up. "I don’t even know what to do. He doesn’t listen to me at all. Whenever I bring up marriage, he runs at the speed of lightning. You should ask your wife to talk to him. Jian respects her the most. I believe he’ll listen to her."

"Well, Bingbing has already even planned a whole list of candidates for Jian," Wu-Wong replied thinking about his wife, Fan Bingbing’s obsession with matchmaking these days.

"Huh?" Everyone was surprised by his words.

"Isn’t she looking for a candidate for Wang?" Zhu Qinyang asked with a frown.

Wu-Wong clicked his tongue. "As if she can rule over Wang’s life. Pssf... He won’t let her. So, she’s looking for a perfect candidate for He Jian."

"Don’t you know, Qinyang? Bingbing even went to Imperial to personally keep an eye on a candidate she liked." Lin Shen’s father informed He Jian’s mother making her mouth wide open in surprise.

"Now, I know why my son says that she loves him more than I love him." Zhu Qinyang muttered to herself and shook her head with a smile.

She was glad to know that her friend was concerned about her son more than she was. But then again, Fan Bingbing said that she was adopting He Jian as her son on the day he got engaged to her daughter, Wu Weiwei.

"Oh, Xiao Man! I heard Xiao Qian is coming back," Zhu Chen turned to Li Qiao’s mother to inquire about his neighbor in Country A.

Everyone looked at Li Man with anticipation. "Yeah! Finally, my sister-in-law has decided to grace the country with her presence."

"Woah! That’s big news! When is she coming? And why?" Zhu Chen asked curiously.

"I don’t know when but I know that she’s coming for Xin Xiamu’s marriage." Li Man answered plainly.

"Marriage to whom?" He Susu asked this time.

"To her," Li Man pointed at Yu Kim standing in a corner talking with Jun Li Na. "Yu Kim... Yu Ting’s one and only precious daughter."

"What?" That reaction came from Zhu Chen. "Wasn’t she with Li Qiao?"

Everyone pursed their lips since that was their own thinking as well. They all thought that Yu Kim and Li Qiao looked good together. What a pity!

"Stop spouting nonsense, Chen! Kim’s been engaged to Xiamu since they were in school even before Kim even met Qiao." Li Man explained in detail making everyone feel strange for some reason.
