Chapter 2292: Chapter 2992

At that time, she didn’t know that he was already engaged.

As for her, she was always straightforward; if she liked someone, she liked them. Once she was sure of her feelings, she wrote a love letter to Duan Xi, with her photo tucked inside.

But Duan Xi didn’t reply, nor did he give any response. Her time as an exchange student had come to an end, and she had no choice but to leave with regret.

During her days abroad, she thought about that letter more than once. On one hand, she resented Duan Xi for not responding; on the other, she felt perhaps this was what made him commendable.

After all, he was engaged. If he reacted to a mere love letter, she might look down on him instead. After all, it would show that he was as superficial as those who only cared about appearances.

After returning home, she graduated in the shortest time possible and came back to the country. Coincidentally, Ruan Bo reached out to her this time. She was aware of the relationship between Ruan Bo and Jiaojiao and had even researched Duan Xi’s current company, so she casually mentioned in front of Ruan Bo that she wanted to settle down domestically and find a job first. Unexpectedly, Ruan Bo immediately offered to help her find a job, and she wasn’t wrong; the place he recommended was indeed Duan Xi’s company.

As for Jiaojiao.

She never took her seriously.

A daughter of nouveau riche, beautiful indeed, but so what? There are plenty of beautiful people in the world, she was nothing special. Duan Xi was indifferent to even her looks, indicating he didn’t care about such things.

Being together entails more than just external factors; what’s more important is the compatibility of their hearts.

What does Jiaojiao have besides beauty?

As for herself, she was different. Not only was she close in age to Duan Xi, their family backgrounds were similar, their educational achievements were equally matched, and they would surely have more common topics together.

Moreover, having observed the interactions between Duan Xi and Jiaojiao yesterday, it made her even more dismissive of Jiaojiao.

An eighteen-year-old girl, capricious and immature, always thinking the world should revolve around her. Duan Xi was a smart person and definitely able to distinguish who was truly suitable for him. Perhaps he felt something different for Jiaojiao, but she thought this difference wasn’t related to love; it was more of a responsibility and habit.

She even saw yesterday with her own eyes that most of the interactions were initiated by Jiaojiao. This included the kiss at the dinner table; Duan Xi made no response.

From this, one could see that Duan Xi’s feelings for her likely weren’t love.

He might not understand or be able to discern the difference between the two now, but she believed that as long as she stayed by his side, given time, he would slowly come to realize.

She just didn’t expect Ruan Bo to act that way yesterday. However, after she calmed down and thought it over, she soon understood, and based on what she knew of Duan Xi, he was undoubtedly not someone who mixed personal with professional matters.

So even when she received the notification from Sha Qian in the morning, she went ahead and came.

She just didn’t expect this wait to last all day, and she started to doubt if Duan Xi was really so shortsighted.

And now, seeing Jiaojiao appearing like a conjoined twin alongside him, she understood that it was likely because Jiaojiao was clinging to him, preventing him from coming over.

Normally, she was a very composed person, but after waiting all day, even though she knew she shouldn’t, when she saw them appear, she couldn’t help but let out a sarcastic remark.
