“No,” Qiao Ruoxi explained calmly. “I broke up with him. He didn’t agree, so…”

“Is that why he came to you and threatened you with a knife?”Li Yinian guessed.

Qiao Ruoxi nodded.

Li Yixue said indignantly, “I really didn’t expect him to be that kind of man. I used to think that he was very gentle and good to you. I thought that he would love you well. Who knew that he would actually be so crazy? Breaking up with him is the right thing to do. It’s fine if you don’t want a scumbag like him. I’ll introduce you to someone better later.”

She had no idea why she broke up with Qin Xuming, and Qiao Ruoxi had no idea how to explain it.

“Forget it. I don’t want to be in a relationship for the time being.”

That was a good enough reason!

It was not that she did not want to fall in love, but she was not qualified to fall in love.

With the title of “Mrs. Feng,” she could only quietly play the role of a surrogate mother.

“Fine! If the old one doesn’t go, the new one won’t come. When you think it through one day, won’t it be easy to find a man?” Li Yixue said.

Qiao Ruoxi smiled. “You make it sound so easy. It’s been so many years. Why don’t you find another one? Are you still unable to forget Tang Yebing?”

“Stop!” Li Yixue’s face instantly changed. “You’re not allowed to mention this person’s name again. Otherwise, we’ll no longer be friends.”

Fine, she and Tang Yebing were indeed enemies.

Qiao Ruoxi remembered that she had known Li Yixue for many years. “Xiaoxue, let me ask you a question. You have to tell me the truth, okay?”

“Hey, I’ve never lied to you!” Li Yixue scolded.

“Okay.” Qiao Ruoxi nodded. “Then let me ask you, what kind of person was I in the past? I mean, five years ago?”

“…”

Li Yixue pursed her lips and frowned.

This was probably the first time Qiao Ruoxi had asked her such a question. It was the first time she had expressed doubt about her identity in front of her.

Li Yixue could not say it. She had promised Qiao Ruoxi’s mother, Su Hui, to keep her mouth shut.

Thinking of this, she had no choice but to answer against her conscience. “Ahahaha, you used to be the same as you are now. You are you. You will always be the kind and cute Little Xi Xi!”

Qiao Ruoxi observed her carefully and did not notice anything unusual.

Li Yixue would never lie to her. Perhaps she was overthinking.

Seeing that Qiao Ruoxi was deep in thought, Li Yixue asked again, “Xi Xi, why did you suddenly ask me such a strange question?”

Qiao Ruoxi sighed softly and told her, “Yixue, I don’t know what’s wrong with me. Recently, I’ve been having strange images pop up in my head, strange things that people say.

“No idea. It doesn’t feel like my memory. I just want to know why.”

“I feel like Qin Xuming is hiding something from me, but he won’t tell me.

“And that Wen Ke’er. I feel like she’s known me for a long time. She’s very hostile towards me. I can feel it.”

Li Yixue’s heart ached for her.

Sometimes, she really wanted to tell her everything, but she was afraid that she would be hurt.

Perhaps it would be best for her if she knew nothing.

“Xixi, don’t let your imagination run wild. Maybe you’ve read too many novels and always think of strange scenes.”

Li Yixue could only remind her indirectly, “That Wen Ke’er you’re talking about, I don’t think she’s a good person. If you meet her in the future, you’d better stay away from her.”

“Yes.” Qiao Ruoxi nodded in agreement.

If you can’t take full precautions against a sinister person, then you can only avoid them.
