CHAPTER 451: CHAPTER 449: MISUNDERSTANDING

After the fundraising event finished, everyone returned to the banquet hall.

A waiter approached the two of them, carrying a tray, Wen Qiao shook her head, "No need, thank you."

The waiter looked at Jiang Yao, who also shook her head, and understandingly walked away.

"Let’s go sit in the lounge for a while, and leave right after the dinner ends."

"Okay, I’ll follow your lead." Wen Qiao linked arms with Jiang Yao and took a few steps forward, then remembered something, "Is my phone with Xiao Chu? I’ll go grab it."

"I’ll go, your shoes aren’t suitable for walking."

"Come on, with the state you’re in right now, I can’t be at ease. There’s nothing inconvenient, I’ve gotten used to it."

Wen Qiao opened the door to the lounge, "Wait here for a bit, I’ll be right back."

Following behind them, Wen Shu caught a glimpse of Fu Jinghen approaching from a distance and said to Qi Ming, "Ah Ming, could you go get my phone? It’s in the car."

"Sure, find a spot to wait for me."

After Qi Ming left, Wen Shu slowed her pace and moved forward.

Seeing Fu Jinghen pass by her, Wen Shu instinctively reached out and pulled on Fu Jinghen, "President Fu."

"Is there something, Miss Wen?"

"President Fu, I just heard that this endorsement was originally Qiaoqiao’s, but now—"

"No need to use such righteous words anymore." Fu Jinghen’s expression turned slightly cold, "If I had known beforehand, this endorsement definitely wouldn’t have landed on you."

Saying this, he turned and left.

Wen Shu watched his retreating figure, her lips curving imperceptibly.

It might not have landed on her, but in the end, it was still hers.

-

Fu Jinghen had searched the banquet hall but couldn’t find Wen Qiao. Thinking of coming outside to find her and explain about the endorsement.

Just as he stepped out of the banquet hall, he saw two figures slowly approaching from afar.

Under the warm yellow streetlights, the shadows of a man and a woman intertwined on the ground, the woman’s face displaying a faint smile, appearing to be in a rather good mood.

It was somewhat ironic, he had heard Wen Qiao confess her feelings to Qi Ming, yet he was still worried she might be upset about the endorsement falling through.

But it seemed now that she didn’t need his explanation or his comfort.

Initially, at the engagement party when he found out what crazy thing Wen Qiao had done, he had no reaction because he didn’t care about Wen Qiao since he didn’t witness it firsthand, but now everything seemed to overlap with the situation he had experienced before.

Wen Qiao still liked Qi Ming as always, perhaps like she said, the feelings from their school days were the purest, so even if he was good and attentive to her, it still couldn’t compare to a single word from Qi Ming.

Actually, ever since that time in Hang City, he should have understood, Wen Qiao, who disliked being restrained and had been forced into a marriage due to a family alliance with him, how could she have feelings for him?

And before this banquet, he felt that their relationship was gradually warming up, he started to believe that Wen Qiao did like him a bit. Now it seemed, it was all just his own wishful thinking.

Fu Jinghen watched the laughing and talking pair, suddenly snorted, and then turned around to leave.

-

As the banquet was about to end, the people from the D family stopped Jiang Yao and Wen Qiao as they prepared to leave.

Jiang Yao held back her temper, but the coldness in her eyes didn’t diminish, "Does your esteemed brand need something else?"
