Chapter 181: Chapter 100 Yuqing, you said it too, we are past it

The two of them didn’t go many places but chose to go to the largest mall in An City!

When Lu Jingchen led Song Qiao into the mall, they immediately attracted the attention of many people, but everyone just observed them with the curiosity reserved for a handsome man and a beautiful woman. Perhaps because Lu Jingchen did not often appear in public, there was no big sensation, and everyone just thought the two had extraordinary appearances and were a handsome couple!

In one of the larger furniture stores in An City, as soon as the two entered, a sales associate greeted them with a smile!

"Welcome, may I ask what you’re looking to buy? We’ve recently introduced some new furniture, which is part of a warmer series..."

"No need, we’ll just look around by ourselves first! We’ll call you if we need help!" Song Qiao always disliked having sales associates follow and introduce items, preferring to browse on her own.

The sales associate understood and quickly nodded and stepped back, leaving Song Qiao and Lu Jingchen by themselves!

Since the sales associate approached them upon entering the mall, Lu Jingchen had been looking a bit upset, but after Song Qiao asked the salesperson to leave, his previously gloomy expression lightened somewhat, an observation Song Qiao did not make as she led Lu Jingchen straight to the sofa section that she had noticed earlier!

Throughout their time there, Lu Jingchen continuously held Song Qiao’s hand tightly, naturally declaring to everyone that they were a couple!

"What should we buy first? It feels like there are so many things we need!" Song Qiao looked around, and suddenly all the decisions that had been clear in her mind vanished in an instant, as if her brain had malfunctioned!

Lu Jingchen looked down at her and could naturally see her temporary confusion, his eyes seemingly filled with a light smile, said in a deep and pleasant voice, "Well, it depends on what you want to buy first!"

Today, he had planned to listen to Song Qiao, as he usually didn’t like to shop for furniture personally. Even the furniture at his villa was bought with the help of an assistant!

Song Qiao snorted, she had guessed the man would say this, and looked up at him sideways, "But we can’t just listen to me on everything, it’s supposed to be our home, we should shop for it together!"

Lu Jingchen looked at Song Qiao’s petite face with amusement, and his velvety voice spilled out as he moved a strand of her hair behind her ear, "Okay, you take a look first at what styles and colors you like, and I’ll pay!"

Song Qiao, "..." Feeling like they couldn’t shop for furniture together happily anymore!

In the end, Lu Jingchen sat alone in the sofa section, while Song Qiao looked around by herself, even pulling over a sales associate!

Lu Jingchen sat in the lounge area, exuding a natural aura of nobility. The customers and sales associates in the furniture store couldn’t help but glance over at him repeatedly!

Lu Jingchen paid no attention to these looks, casually picking up a magazine to flip through, occasionally looking up at Song Qiao, whose joy in selecting furniture was evident even from afar. His eyes held a gentle smile, and even his lips unconsciously showed a soft curve!

"Jingchen?" Just then, a slender figure walked into the store, her voice carrying surprise and delight suddenly rose!

Zuo Yuqing had come to buy furniture for her new apartment today, and unexpectedly, as soon as she arrived, she saw Lu Jingchen sitting in the rest area. At first, she thought she was mistaken, but a closer look confirmed it really was Lu Jingchen, which surprised her!

Because in her memory, Lu Jingchen had always disliked coming to malls, even during the time they dated, he had never once visited a mall with her!

The familiar voice, carrying a soft surprise, caused Lu Jingchen who was ready to flip through the magazine to pause, subconsciously lifting his gaze and turning his head.

Zuo Yuqing had already walked up to Lu Jingchen and said with a small smile while looking at the man in front of her, "Are you here to buy furniture? Are you renovating a new home?"

Lu Jingchen’s expression remained unchanged, and he looked at Zuo Yuqing indifferently. From her appearance to approaching him and speaking, he responded with a hum, "Yes, Qiaoqiao and I are here shopping for furniture together!"

Upon hearing Lu Jingchen’s words, Zuo Yuqing’s smile stiffened slightly as a reflex she turned to look at the furniture area behind her. She saw the girl not far away, smiling gracefully, talking to the sales associate about something, her hand that had just removed her sunglasses couldn’t help but tremble!

"What a coincidence, I’m also here to buy furniture!" Zuo Yuqing’s smile was a bit stiff, but she quickly recovered, tucking her hair behind her ear and continuing with a light smile, "It’s been a long time since I bought furniture as well, why don’t you Jingchen give me a hand and offer some suggestions?"

Lu Jingchen frowned slightly and did not immediately respond positively or negatively!

For a moment, there was silence between them. A little distance away, people recognized Zuo Yuqing and were thrilled, some even started to sneak pictures of her with their phones!

Zuo Yuqing didn’t move, standing a few steps away from Lu Jingchen!

And those people, whether intentionally or not, started taking photos of Lu Jingchen!

Suddenly, the man’s face darkened somewhat, but he still managed to maintain his composure. "Yuqing, where is your assistant?"

Zuo Yuqing had walked in alone, probably because she wore her sunglasses from the start, and no one recognized her until she walked into the furniture store and took them off!

Zuo Yuqing has been very popular both domestically and internationally over the past few years. Even though she hasn’t filmed any TV dramas or movies in China, the ones she shot in Hollywood have a very good reputation domestically!

With her exquisite acting skills, coupled with her stunning appearance, and being one of the few domestic actresses who are popular in Hollywood, many people in the country consider her a goddess!

Zuo Yuqing lightly pursed her lips, looking at the man sitting on the couch and explained indifferently, "My assistant was busy today and didn’t come with me."

Her intention today was just to buy furniture; she hadn’t expected to encounter Lu Jingchen!

This furniture store is quite famous in An City, large in scale, and well-reputed, with many celebrities choosing to shop here for their furniture!

Lu Jingchen lowered his head to continue browsing the magazine, without again looking up at Zuo Yuqing, who stood there with meaningful eyes. He spoke without any emotional fluctuation, "Then you go pick out the furniture. I won’t disturb you."

Zuo Yuqing, seeing the man seated on the couch, adopting an attitude of ignoring her, spoke with a hint of helplessness while lightly touching her forehead, "Jingchen, is this really necessary between us?"

The man didn’t look up at her but continued to flip through the magazine leisurely, with an indifferent tone, "What? Aren’t you here to buy furniture? Or did you come here to reminisce with me? This place doesn’t seem quite right for that, does it?"

Zuo Yuqing, detecting the sarcasm in Lu Jingchen’s words, found herself momentarily frozen, feeling somewhat pained. Without further thought, she stepped forward, looked down at the handsome face she had missed countless times during day and night and spoke with a tone of gentleness and helplessness, "I know you have your preconceptions about me now, but Jingchen, we were once together after all. Can’t you be a little nicer for the sake of our past relationship?"

"Yuqing!" Lu Jingchen looked up with slightly narrowed eyes devoid of any expression, yet seemingly brimming with a faint smile, and spoke softly, "As you said, it’s all in the past between us!"

Zuo Yuqing’s hand by her side clenched involuntarily as her eyes widened in shock at the almost merciless man in front of her!

Lu Jingchen said nothing more, instead resumed flipping through the magazine in his hands!

Zuo Yuqing, suppressing the emotions in her heart, stood there watching the man who intended to completely ignore her. After standing for a dozen seconds, she turned on her heels in her high heels and went to select furniture with the constantly jittery sales associate who had been waiting on the side!

No one noticed that when Zuo Yuqing turned to walk away, the hand that held the magazine involuntarily tightened its grip, immediately creasing the seemingly new magazine with deep wrinkles from the firm pinch.

With half-narrowed eyes, the man’s face was layered with a cold smirk in a corner unseen by others!

Not far away, Song Qiao had noticed Zuo Yuqing’s presence right from the beginning but merely paused for a moment before lowering her head and talking to the sales associate about something!

"Ma’am, is that your husband?" Ever since Lu Jingchen and Song Qiao appeared, the two had been the focus of everyone in the store!

The reason was that both of them were extraordinarily good-looking, a match of talents and beauty eclipsing even the celebrities!

Most importantly, the moment they walked in, the way Lu Jingchen dominantly half-embraced Song Qiao had utterly devastated the group of single ladies there!

Song Qiao paused slightly, thought for a moment, and then nodded in affirmation, maintaining an approachable and gentle smile on her face, her voice soft, "Yes, we just got married!"

A newlywed couple, to speak frankly, she still wasn’t fully accustomed to the fact that they were married, sometimes even feeling unreal when remembering that she was married!

Most importantly, the man she married was someone like Lu Jingchen!

She never imagined that one day she would marry such a perfect man!

The sales associate’s eyes were filled with envy, "Your husband is really handsome. You two make such a perfect match!!"
