My boyfriend was not only handsome but also an academic achiever.
However, his family was quite poor.
Everyone said I was supporting him.
One day, I told him I was tired of playing around and suggested we break up.
When we met again, I was a food delivery person.
And he had become a rising star in the business world, accompanied by a stunning celebrity.
"Your delivery. I'm sorry, the roads are difficult in the snow, and I'm late. I truly apologize."
"Ding Pengpeng..."
After graduation, we lost contact like countless ordinary classmates.
Our reunion came many years later.
I was working at a hotel.
As they chatted, I realized that the man sitting in the middle was him.
He sat next to Liang Qiuyao, both of them laughing and enjoying each other's company, a perfect match.
I lowered my head, only daring to glance at him from the corner of my eye.
I was afraid he would recognize me.
"You, come here for a moment."
He pointed at me.
I walked over, and he said, "Help me cut an orange."
I turned my back to him and sliced the orange into thin pieces.
In the past, whenever he bought fruit, he would always ask me to peel an orange first, cut it into thin slices, put it on a plate, and stick in some toothpicks.
At that time, I would always laugh and say, " Genggeng, you will definitely be a good dad in the future."
He would then smile and pinch my nose, saying, "That depends on who gives birth."
After I finished cutting the orange, I turned to leave.
They started talking about their romances during school days.
Someone said, " manager Yi, I heard you were in a four-year relationship in college?"
He picked up a slice of orange and took a bite. "Yeah."
"Why did you break up later?"
"It wasn't for that reason."
The person didn't understand and pressed on, "What do you mean it wasn't for that reason?"
He replied coldly, "It wasn't enough of a reason to break up."
Another person laughed, " manager Yi means he doesn't care about that girl at all."
"If it weren't for that girl getting in the way, manager Yi and Miss Liang would have been together long ago."
Others echoed in agreement.
"How can an ordinary person compare to Miss Liang?"
"Exactly, Miss Liang is a big star."
I lowered my head, my hands trembling slightly.
I need to get out of here quickly.
The more anxious I became, the more likely something would go wrong. As I turned around, I accidentally cut my hand on a fruit knife.
"Hiss..." I gasped in pain.
"What’s wrong with you?" Liang Qiuyao frowned displeased, "Get someone else to come and clean the fruit again."
I nodded in apology, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
I was holding the fruit platter and preparing to leave when a cold voice rang out, "Did I let you go?"
It was Yikeng.
I paused in my steps as he coldly commanded, "Turn around."
Just when I was at a loss, the head waitress came over, placed a tray on the table, and smiled apologetically at Yikeng. "We'll bring you a fresh serving of fruit right away, please wait a moment."
After saying that, she gave me a knowing glance, signaling me to leave.
I nodded gratefully and quickly stepped out.
"Next time, be more alert. The VIP rooms are for important guests, especially the one in the middle—young and accomplished, the owner of a tech company. We can't afford to offend him."
I kept thanking her but felt a bit awkward. "Sister, could you do me a favor and take the sliced oranges in?"
The head waitress looked at me and sighed helplessly. "Alright, just call me next time something like this happens. But remember to be more clever next time; you won't always be this lucky."
"Okay, thank you, sister."
I felt much more relaxed knowing she was willing to help me.
In this city, besides Meimei, she was the only person I knew.
Meimei is my roommate who is about to get married; she invited me to be her bridesmaid.
