Even when standing right in front of Mai Qiqi, Mai Qiqi still didn’t glance at them, an ignorance that made both of them feel somewhat embarrassed.
Chu Xueli’s smile was tinged with a trace of apology, and she spoke in a soft voice: "Sister Qiqi, long time no see."
Chu Xueli’s voice really had its special charm, coquettishly slow, as if laced with hooks, making a man’s heart itch. Indeed, as soon as she spoke, two men slightly raised their eyebrows, putting on an amused expression.
Mai Qiqi wore a trace of contempt on her face, disinterestedly turning her head to look at her, "Miss, do we know each other?"
Chu Xueli was evidently not expecting Mai Qiqi to react in this way and suddenly seemed at a loss, tears gathering slowly in her eyes. With wide eyes, she looked from Mai Qiqi to Yan Hui next to her, who had been smiling at the corners of his mouth all this time.
Indeed, Mai Qiqi was still so straightforward and thoughtless; Chu Xueli felt a touch of smugness inside, as people would only think Mai Qiqi was rude and overly bullying.
Actually, she had long known Mai Qiqi would react , and she had also thought of a strategy to deal with it.
An Zihao, standing aside, was displeased first. He thought Mai Qiqi was going too far.
"Mai Qiqi, if you have grievances, direct them at me, don’t bully Xue Li," An Zihao said in a lower voice.
Yan Hui immediately responded with a cold face, "Qiqi is my girlfriend. Before bullying my girlfriend, ask whether I agree or not!" His defense of Mai Qiqi was very evident, making An Zihao falter.
Who knew Mai Qiqi would just laugh out loud, she walked in front of Yan Hui and retorted to An Zihao and Chu Xueli: "What could I possibly be dissatisfied with?"
An Zihao’s eyes flickered as he said, "I...I’ve fallen in love with Xue Li, so you’re taking your anger out on Xue Li."
Look at that, what an ’artistic’ thing to say! A really protective stance towards Chu Xueli.
Mai Qiqi’s heart grew colder, her fingernails digging into the palm of her hand.
"Whether or not you love her, or fall in love with someone else, has nothing to do with me. We ended our relationship two months ago; to me, both of you are just strangers, and I am not going to waste my anger on strangers."
Mai Qiqi said in an increasingly indifferent tone, as if she truly didn’t care about them anymore. Her coldness made Chu Xueli and An Zihao feel very uncomfortable.
"So, can the two of you leave now?" Mai Qiqi asked lightly.
Chu Xueli bit her lip, pleading, "Sister Qiqi, I’m sorry. If you’re still mad at me, you can beat me up. If you still can’t let go of Zihao, I... I can step aside for you."
"Xue Li, what are you talking about! I only love you," An Zihao said discontentedly. Thɪs chapter is updated by NoveI(F)ire.net
Mai Qiqi burst into laughter as if she had heard something extremely funny.
An Zihao growled in a low voice, "Mai Qiqi, don’t stir up trouble!"
Their voices had already caught the attention of some people. Those with good manners left the area, making space for them. Many who loved to join in the excitement quietly moved closer to watch; some who hoped to see Mai Qiqi’s misfortune even brazenly came over and began whispering among themselves.
Who could blame them since Mai Qiqi was so eye-catching tonight?
"So Mai Qiqi got dumped by An Zihao."
"Look at his current girlfriend, how delicate and lovely she is. No wonder Mai Qiqi got dumped, men do cherish the tender and the beautiful."
Whispers of discussion came over, and the involved parties heard everything clearly.
Chu Xueli acted even more careful and pitiful.
Mai Qiqi looked contemptuously at An Zihao, this look jabbing at An Zihao, who blurted out, "Yes, I, An Zihao, have wronged you, but love can’t be stopped; I fell in love with Xue Li, so I broke up with you. If you want to blame someone, blame me. It’s not Xue Li’s fault."
Chu Xueli also opportunistically added, "Qiqi, if you still can’t let go of Zihao, I...I can back out." She put on a facade of being generous and patient.
Facing such disgusting behavior from the two, Mai Qiqi held back Yan Hui, who wanted to stick up for her, and said coldly, "I, Mai Qiqi, was blind in the past. Indeed, I dated you, An Zihao, but ever since you two went behind my back and slept together, we broke up. You two have nothing to do with me anymore.
What, did you think that because I didn’t pursue the matter that it means you can bully me, and now you chase me here pretending to apologize, threatening me?"
Hearing Mai Qiqi’s words, everyone felt that An Zihao and Chu Xueli had gone too far.
