Chapter 930: Fu Mingxuan, is doing this… truly worth it?

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Stumbling against nothing, Pei Ge left the private room with his help.

However, along the way, they did not see any trace of Ji Ziming.

Logically, he should have returned long ago.

“Where is Ziming?”

She pouted and started to throw a tantrum in her drunkenness.

Fu Mingxuan helplessly supported her weight. “Maybe he left first. We—”

She cut him off mid-sentence. “No! I want to find Ziming!”

The woman struggled away from him, seemingly determined to find the man even without his help.

“Fine, fine, fine. I understand. I’ll bring you to him, okay?”

Seeing her struggle out of his grasp, he could only helplessly hold her hand and lead her to the elevator.

“Is it fine if we go the first-floor lobby to ask where your fiancé is?”

“Mhm!” The woman gave a heavy nod and obediently followed him.

Within the elevator, he looked at the clear mirror. His lips curled up slightly at the reflection of him and this woman standing together.

It was his first time being this close to her. At this moment, he had this desire to stay in this elevator forever – just the two of them, taking this elevator forever.

However, his dream was soon crushed.

“Ziming… Ziming, where are you…”

The man’s name kept popping out of her mouth, causing Fu Mingxuan to clutch her hand even more tightly.

“Ge Ge… do you like him that much? Can no one else take his place?”

He gave her a bitter smile, feeling very depressed inside.

“Yes. No one can compare to my Ziming!” she unhesitatingly replied.

“… Is that so?” This reply gave him a helpless feeling, as though he had lost all his energy.

Is it really okay to betray my childhood friend for a woman who doesn’t love me?

For a woman who will never love me and become mine, is it… truly correct?

He suddenly regretted it.

He pursed his lips tightly together. Through the bright and hazy light, he gazed at their reflection in the mirror and seemed to spot his childhood friend’s cold and expressionless face.

Ji Ziming…

That woman should’ve made her move…

Qiao Jingyun’s shadow seemed to appear in this mirror, too.

Amid this hallucination, her body was tightly wound on Ji Ziming’s. Like weak dodders with no roots, she tightly coiled herself around the man to prevent him from escaping.

“Fu Mingxuan… is doing this… truly worth it?” he suddenly asked his reflection in the mirror.

Is it worth it?

You have been friends with Ji Ziming for over a decade and have known each other since you guys were wearing diapers.

If the woman I love likes me, too, I may be able to do this, but she clearly doesn’t like me.

Why must I do this and collude with an outsider I hate to plot against my good friend?

“Not worth it! Not worth it!” Just as he was falling into the realms of despair and conflicted thoughts, Pei Ge’s drunk voice sounded in his ears.

“Is it worth it? Right, it’s not worth it…” He shifted his gaze away from the mirror and onto her. “For you who doesn’t love me at all, how can I hurt another person I care about and who cares for me? Am I right?”

He smiled gently at her with glistening eyes.

“Yes! You can’t hurt the people who care about you for someone who doesn’t love you, or else you are trash! A jerk!” The drunk woman beside him responded to his voice but did not turn to face him.

“Hur hur… That’s right; I am truly trash.”

Perhaps because she had given him a big blow, his drunken self had thought things through, or… things had progressed to this stage…

How he was just looking on as his good friend got ensnared by Qiao Jingyun’s trap…

Fu Mingxuan suddenly made up his mind.

“Pei Ge, I will help you find Ji Ziming.” He took a deep breath, looked at the woman he loved deeply, and said this in almost a murmur.

“Mhm! We’ll go find Ziming together!”

Ding!

The elevator doors parted open. He walked out of it while pulling her arm.

When they exited the elevator, his eyes scoured the empty lobby and then stopped on the woman walking with wobbly footsteps. With a light frown, he helped her to toward the resting area on the first floor.

“Ge Ge, sit here and wait for a while. I’ll go look for Ziming and bring him over immediately.”

He told her after bringing her to a sofa and then left for the reception once she nodded.

The man’s sudden disappearance should be Qiao Jingyun’s doing.

Otherwise, he would not take so long and still not return to Pei Ge…

He started pondering on this whole situation while walking.

If it truly were that woman’s doing, then… he would get no result from the front desk. That vicious and crafty woman had always been very cautious and would never give herself away…

He made this conjecture; indeed, when he reached the front desk and used his identity, he could not find out anything.

“Sir, I deeply apologize, but we truly don’t have any records of any check-in by this Ms. Qiao Jingyun.”

“Then, have you seen this woman enter?”

As he said this, he took out his phone, painstakingly found a picture of the woman, and passed it to the receptionist.

“My apologies, sir. I’m truly not very sure. I don’t think I’ve seen her today.”

“… Alright.”

He frowned deeply. For some reason, he got this feeling that something was about to happen.

Qiao Jingyun, what are you planning exactly?
