Chapter 200: Chapter 114 If You Really Want to Annoy Him, Just Break Up with Him_2

"But Dajiao, isn’t your husband getting along pretty well with that famous actress Zuo Yuqing? I saw him with Yuqing, and they seemed to be enjoying their conversation... Dajiao, let me tell you, you have to be careful with that woman. Women from the entertainment industry are not good news, and your husband is so outstanding; who knows how many women are eyeing him..."

Gu Anran was still saying this over the phone, but Song Qiao felt a moment of blankness in her mind, then she laughed and said, "I got it, Anran, go back to the party."

Not waiting for Gu Anran to finish, Song Qiao hung up the phone, and sat somewhat dumbfounded on the chaise lounge, staring straight ahead as if she was gazing in a specific direction.

Five minutes later, Song Qiao received a multimedia message from Gu Anran, containing a photo with a man and a woman as the main subjects.

Song Qiao looked at the photo on her phone somewhat dumbfounded; even though the photo was taken from a distance, she recognized at first glance that it was indeed Lu Jingchen and Zuo Yuqing.

A dense pain emerged in her heart, yet it wasn’t very distinct. Looking at the side profiles of the two people on the phone, Song Qiao let out a wry smile and promptly hit delete.

The mood to continue watching the movie suddenly vanished, and she felt a bit lost about whether their marriage was truly a mistake.

...

When Jian Xia came out of the restroom, she found Lu Jingchen and Zuo Yuqing directly. As her gaze fell on Yuqing, she narrowed her eyes and put on a gentle smile, walked over, and arm in arm with Lu Jingchen, she coyly asked, "What are you talking about? May I join in?"

From every aspect, Jian Xia didn’t like Zuo Yuqing; the sole reason being that if it weren’t for Ruge in the past, she might have landed Lu Jingchen for herself.

Not to mention, Yuqing’s status and personality... were also quite distasteful to her.

When Zuo Yuqing saw Jian Xia, she was slightly taken aback at first, her smile freezing for a moment, but she quickly returned to her regular demeanour and smiled, "Jian Xia, long time no see, I didn’t expect you to be Jingchen’s partner tonight."

With a smile that didn’t fade and laced with a bit of coquettishness, Jian Xia replied, "Miss Zuo, really, it’s been a long time. I also didn’t expect your companion to be him. Seems like you’ve been doing quite well in Hollywood in recent years, congratulations."

Damn it, this woman is just annoying; she can hardly stand it, like wanting to drag Lu Jingchen away with her.

It’s not that Zuo Yuqing was overly sensitive, but rather Jian Xia’s hostility towards her was undisguised. Yuqing smiled lightly and then said, "Jingchen, I saw some acquaintances over there, so I’ll go there first and come back to find you later."

Although it was a pity that she couldn’t invite Lu Jingchen to be her companion, Yuqing was in no hurry since tonight’s banquet was of great significance to her. After greeting him, she went to the other side.

Lu Jingchen responded with a light hum.

Only after Yuqing left did he glance indifferently at Jian Xia who was clinging to his arm like a koala, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, then smoothly withdrew his hand and said softly, "Don’t you need to change your clothes?"

Jian Xia looked at the damp spot on her dress, pursed her lips, and stroked it with her hand, seemingly unconcerned, "No need, it’s just someone ’accidentally’ spilled some juice on it."

After that, as if suddenly remembering something, she looked around and not seeing the man she wanted to find, she turned to Lu Jingchen and asked, "By the way, have you seen that man?"

He took a sip of wine from a glass he had taken from a server, his expression unchanged, "I haven’t seen him." With a serene smile on his face, he looked at Jian Xia, who suddenly seemed like a little hedgehog, and in a low, pleasant voice, said, "Asking me to be your male companion tonight is just to annoy that man. Jian Xia, if you really want to annoy him, why not just break up with him?"

"If I break up with him then I’ll be single. After all, I’ve been chasing him for over a decade; you think it’s that easy to break it off?" Jian Xia stood there, her slender fingers twirling a few strands of her hair as she continued to speak, "Besides, if I become single, I might never get married in this lifetime. After all, my taste has been shaped to such a way that no matter how good other men are, they still can’t compare to that man... oh, that’s not right, except you. Maybe you’ll take me in? If that’s the case, I might consider it."

Lu Jingchen swirled the wine glass in his hand, the red liquid looking very dazzling. He smiled faintly and took a sip, but with just one sentence he clearly rejected Jian Xia’s proposition, "You’re not suited to be Mrs. Lu."

Jian Xia spread her hands nonchalantly, "I knew you’d say that; it’s not the first time you’ve shot me down. I think I’ve developed an invincible skin by now."

Lu Jingchen let out a scoff, glancing at her from the corner of his eye, and said unhurriedly, "Are you sure it’s not because the man you like keeps hurting you, that’s what made you develop an invincible skin? Jian Xia, I have to say, sometimes you really seem to be asking for it."

"Hey, Lu Jingchen, could you not always bring up my sore spots?" Jian Xia flared up, glaring at him, and huffed, "Don’t tell me you’re retaliating because I just drove Zuo Yuqing away?"

At this point, Jian Xia reminded him, "And about Yuqing, the two of you are in the past. Lu Jingchen, don’t forget you’re married now. Be careful or I’ll tell your wife."
