Chapter 17: Chapter 17: He is My Ex-Boyfriend

Gu Xichen didn’t know whether it was just his illusion, thinking that when she mentioned Gu Lili, it wasn’t for him but for another man.

Moreover, this side of He Meiwei was something he had never seen before.

"Deserving or not... Long Yubei has married her, that’s a fact."

Leaning on the sofa, her head tilted back, she muttered, "I can’t figure it out."

"What?"

"Why Long Yubei would marry her."

"Do you know Long Yubei?"

He Meiwei’s tightly shut eyes trembled slightly, perhaps due to drinking too much, she didn’t even know what she was saying, "He’s my ex-boyfriend."

A thunderbolt struck Gu Xichen’s head, thinking of what she just said, he asked again, "Do you still have feelings for him?"

He Meiwei suddenly burst into tears, and as usual, Gu Xichen would have consoled her right away, but this time, he stood there motionless.

After crying for a while, He Meiwei lay there calling out Long Yubei’s name repeatedly for a long time before she finally stopped.

She fell asleep with tears still on her cheek corners.

Gu Xichen pulled over a blanket to cover her, then stepped out onto the balcony alone and lit a cigarette.

From meeting He Meiwei to being together, it hadn’t been long, just over two months.

They met on a plane; she was returning from abroad.

As they were seated next to each other, they talked for a long time and grew happier as they talked.

After getting off the plane, they ate together and exchanged contact information.

Gu Xichen didn’t know much about her.

But he was attracted by her exquisite taste.

Plus, her way of speaking was always soft and gentle, like a kitten scratching, so he pursued her.

He cared immensely for her, showed his love, and they quickly became a couple.

She moved into his house.

The two got along well together, but it was at this time that Gu Xichen realized he knew nothing about her past.

Never had he imagined that she had once dated Long Yubei.

The world is indeed small.

...

The next morning, He Meiwei woke up with a splitting headache, and Gu Xichen brought her hangover tea.

"Drink this after having so much alcohol last night."

She took it, frowning and asked, "I can’t remember how I got back last night, Xichen, I didn’t talk nonsense, did I?"

Gu Xichen’s mouth twitched, "You said Long Yubei was your ex-boyfriend."

Seeing that he knew, He Meiwei no longer hid it, "Yes, we once dated."

"How long since you broke up?"

"Two years."

Gu Xichen grunted, reminding her, "Drink quickly."

She lowered her head and drank all the tea in the bowl, then handed him the empty bowl, pursed her lips, "Why didn’t you ask how we broke up?"

"I don’t want to know." He suddenly didn’t want to know anymore, "It’s all in the past. Since it’s been so long since the break-up, he’s married, and you have me now, let’s not bring it up again."

He Meiwei bit her lip, and never said anything more.

The couple got up early to have breakfast at the Long Family Mansion.

At the breakfast table, Long Tianjiao inquired, "Bro, why didn’t Brother Cong Mo attend your wedding?"

Dragon Mother glared at her, "Child, why bring up something unnecessary?"

"I was just curious." Long Tianjiao flashed a smile at Long Fengxi next to her, "My sister doesn’t mind."

"Brother Cong Mo was out of town and couldn’t make it. He’s returning to A city today," Long Yubei explained.

"I’ve had enough." Long Fengxi got up expressionlessly, turned, and left.

Seeing this, Dragon Mother reached out and tapped Long Tianjiao’s head, "I think you did it on purpose."
