Chapter 720 - My girlfriend is pretty, and she is better than you.
“Ziming, you’re finally here!”
As she spoke, Qiao Jingyun tried to wrap herself around his arm.
However, before she could touch him, he moved away seamlessly.
A dark light flashed across her eyes when she saw his actions, but she quickly put on her sweet demeanor from before.
“I’m starving; you took so long.”
She followed him and started whining.
“You could’ve eaten first.” He glanced at her plainly. His eyes showed no trace of joy or excitement upon seeing her.
“Yes, she’s really pretty, and she’s better than you.” He smiled when he spoke of Pei Ge.
In his eyes, his girlfriend looked cute no matter what; he could not get enough of her.
What he said to Pei Ge today was the truth and not lies.
In his eyes, his girlfriend was the best in the world.
Qiao Jingyun was made exasperated by his smile and his words in that instant. She almost lost control of herself. She wanted to slam the table and yell at him if he was blind!
How could that ugly woman compare to her? That woman had neither the looks nor the figure. She even graduated from some average university. Pei Ge was not even good enough to be her lackey!
She reined in her emotions at the last minute.
Qiao Jingyun, don’t be rash. You’ve put up with being overseas for so many years. Now that you’re finally back, you must keep yourself in control! This is so that you can… marry into the Ji family.
“Really… That’s great…” She hid her jealousy and hate and put on a smile on her face.
The smile was really forced, and with a look, it was clear at how sad she was.
Unfortunately, her expression was bound to go unnoticed, for it seemed to be targeted at a blind man. The man sitting across her did not budge.
When she saw that, she took a deep breath and lowered her face. “Ziming, is your night blindness better now?”
His expression finally changed when he heard her question.
He raised his eyes and looked at her. Looking at the beautiful face, he could not help but recall what had happened in that small, dark room in the past.
“Ziming, it’s perhaps due to me being gone for so long that we’re a little estranged now, but…” Seeing that his expression had finally changed, she smiled to herself. She looked at him with her eyes and nose a little red. She looked rather pitiful this way.
“… I still hope that you can be happy. After all, we were each other’s salvation back then.”
