Chapter 119: 119. Waking up from the dream

Later, her wish came true, and she became engaged to him. She would be able to marry him after she turned eighteen. However, while she was looking forward to their marriage, she unexpectedly received news that he wanted to break off the engagement.

When she thought back to the moment she heard the news, she had felt totally dumbfounded. Never had she felt so much darkness in her entire world.

Because the light that had always supported her in her life suddenly left her, she found her path shrouded in darkness. All alone, she couldn’t find her way forward.

The second year after their broken engagement, during the crisis faced by the Qiao Family, she had hidden her true abilities. To marry Lu Moqing, she used the most foolish method.

She went to look for Lu Moqing, setting aside her pride to ask him for a marriage alliance with the Qiao Family. As long as the Lu Family joined with the Qiao Family, even if the Lu Family didn’t invest, the stock prices of the Qiao’s Corporation would still increase.

If Lu Moqing didn’t agree, she had other methods to avert the crisis for the Lu Family.

She had anticipated that Lu Moqing would refuse her, after all, Lu Xintong had told her that the reason Lu Moqing broke off their engagement was that he had fallen in love with Su Rou. She set aside her dignity to propose the marriage alliance, merely holding a try-your-luck mentality.

But when Lu Moqing agreed, she was stunned, yet her heart was so overjoyed that she wanted to burst into tears.

Even though later, both Lu Moqing and Lu Xintong told her that everything was because of Grandma Lu and that without her, Lu Moqing would never have agreed to marry her, she still held on to hope. She thought that once she married Lu Moqing, things would eventually work out. But in the end?

Qiao Xu laughed cynically in her heart. In the end, they just ended up back at square one.

Lu Moqing noticed that Qiao Xu had suddenly fallen silent. He looked into her eyes, wondering what she was recalling. Her originally cold gaze gradually filled with some warmth, followed by longing, then dismay, joy, and finally, loss...

This series of emotions repeatedly appeared on her face, ultimately transforming into a look of irony.

He furrowed his eyebrows and wanted to say something. But in the end, he sighed, "You should get some sleep."

After saying that, he left for the study room.

Qiao Xu watched Lu Moqing’s tall figure disappear behind the study room door, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

As for their marriage, she had longed for it, had been unwilling to let go, and ultimately, had been left with nothing but complete disappointment. But looking back, everything had happened because of her.

The next day, when Qiao Xu woke up, Lu Moqing had already left. She went to the bathroom where some new toiletries had been laid out. After she finished freshening up, she went downstairs. In the restaurant, Grandma Lu and Lu Moqing were having breakfast.

"Young Mistress is awake."

Aunt Zhang was the first to notice Qiao Xu and happily called out to her.

The two people dining both turned to look at her. Grandma Lu’s face was full of joy as she waved her hand at Qiao Xu, "Xuxu, come on, let’s have breakfast together."

As Qiao Xu descended the stairs, she heard Grandma Lu continue, "Muoqing told me you got drunk last night, so he asked Aunt Zhang to make you a stomach-friendly breakfast this morning. Come and try it."

Qiao Xu halted for a moment. Her gaze instinctively glanced towards Lu Moqing’s direction, seeing him focused on his meal and not paying any attention to Grandma Lu’s words.

After a pause of half a second, Qiao Xu didn’t pay any more attention to what Grandma Lu said either.

Grandma Lu always hoped that Qiao Xu and Lu Moqing could reconcile. These words were most likely meant for Qiao Xu to hear on purpose.
