Chapter 214 Who could this person be?
“Miss Ji, I don’t know where you got this photo, but I can tell you definitively that the person in this photo is not me.” Yu Yuetong’s tone was calm, but there was a slight, almost imperceptible tremor in it.
Ji Momo raised an eyebrow, looking at her with a half-smile. "Ms. Yu, we're all adults here, why deceive yourselves? The person in the photo is you, there's no doubt about that."
Yu Yuetong took a deep breath, suppressing the panic in her heart. "Ms. Ji, I don't know what your purpose is in telling me this, but I must clarify that there is nothing between me and President Qin that goes beyond a normal relationship."
"Oh? Is that so?" Ji Momo's eyes were playful. "But as far as I know, President Qin's recent behavior is completely contrary to the words 'pure and innocent.' He personally cooks for you, prepares breakfast for you, and even..."
Ji Momo paused deliberately, a meaningful smile playing on her lips. "Personally buying you lingerie, Miss Yu, doesn't that say enough?"
Yu Yuetong's face stiffened, a wave of shame and anger washing over her. Underwear? That bastard Qin Reng!
“Ms. Ji, I don’t know where you got this information from, but I can tell you that it’s all a misunderstanding,” Yu Yuetong said, trying to remain calm. “Between President Qin and me, we are at most… business partners.”
"Partners?" Ji Momo scoffed. "Ms. Yu, do you think I'm a three-year-old? Partners buying each other's underwear? Ms. Yu, I'm not stupid, and you don't need to treat me like one."
Yu Yuetong gritted her teeth, knowing that no matter how she explained, Ji Momo wouldn't believe her.
"Miss Ji, what exactly do you want?"
Ji Momo's smile vanished, her eyes turning icy as she looked at Yu Yuetong. "Ms. Yu, I hope you'll be sensible and leave President Qin on your own. The difference in your status is too great. Even if he's interested in you now, it's just a passing fancy. Rather than getting hurt later, it's better to let go now."
Ji Momo paused, then added, "Besides, there's always someone in President Qin's heart."
Yu Yuetong's heart sank suddenly, and a bitter feeling welled up inside her.
"Who is it?" she asked instinctively.
Ji Momo smiled mysteriously, without answering, but looked at Yu Yuetong meaningfully.
Yu Yuetong felt as if an invisible hand was tightly gripping her chest, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.
"Miss Yu, please think it over carefully." Ji Momo stood up, preparing to leave. "I have said all I need to say. I hope you can make a wise choice."
After Ji Momo left, Yu Yuetong sat there blankly, clutching the photo tightly in her hand, her mind completely blank.
Who is the person in Qin Reng's heart...?
Could it be... the original owner of this body?
The thought flashed through her mind, and Yu Yuetong felt as if her heart had been pricked by a needle.
impossible! Absolutely impossible!
The original owner liked someone else, and besides, she and Qin Reng had absolutely no connection.
Who could this person be?
Yu Yuetong scratched her hair in frustration, feeling that things were getting more and more complicated.
Just then, a cell phone rang, breaking the silence in the coffee shop.
Yu Yuetong glanced at the caller ID; it was Qin Reng.
She hesitated for a moment, but still answered the phone.
"Hey."
"Miss Yu, where are you?" Qin Reng's voice was deep and magnetic.
"I'm outside..." Yu Yuetong hesitated for a moment, without revealing the name of the coffee shop.
"Come out, I'll wait for you at the door."
Yu Yuetong was stunned. Before she could speak, the phone went dead.
She took a deep breath, packed her bag, and walked out of the coffee shop.
A black sedan stopped by the roadside, and the window slowly rolled down, revealing Qin Reng's handsome face.
"Get in the car," Qin Reng said briefly.
Yu Yuetong hesitated for a moment, but finally opened the passenger door and got in.
After the car started, Yu Yuetong remained silent, and the atmosphere was somewhat oppressive.
"Who did you go to see?" Qin Reng asked first.
Yu Yuetong pursed her lips and did not answer.
Qin Reng glanced at her, his tone softening slightly. "Ji Momo?"
Yu Yuetong looked at Qin Reng in surprise. How did he know?
"Don't look at me like that," Qin Reng said calmly. "She's quite famous in the company."
Yu Yuetong remained silent for a moment before deciding to explain. "Miss Ji told me that you... have someone in your heart."
Qin Reng's brows furrowed slightly, a barely perceptible glint flashing in his eyes. "That's what she told you?"
"Hmm." Yu Yuetong nodded, carefully observing Qin Reng's reaction.
Qin Reng sneered. "She's quite good at sowing discord."
Yu Yuetong breathed a sigh of relief, but she still had a vague feeling that things weren't so simple. "Then... is there really no one in your heart?"
Qin Reng was silent for a moment, and instead of answering directly, he asked in return, "Do you believe it?"
Yu Yuetong's heart jumped again; she felt as if the air in the carriage had frozen.
"I don't believe it," she said truthfully.
Qin Reng chuckled softly, then turned to look at Yu Yuetong, his gaze deep. "Why?"
Yu Yuetong felt a little uncomfortable and avoided his gaze. "It doesn't feel like it."
"Feeling?" Qin Reng repeated the two words, his tone meaningful, "A woman's intuition?"
Yu Yuetong didn't say anything, she just looked down and fiddled with her phone.
"Since you don't believe me, why ask me?" Qin Reng withdrew his gaze, looked straight ahead, and his tone returned to its previous indifference.
Yu Yuetong felt a tightness in her chest, and a strange sense of grievance welled up inside her. "I just... wanted to know."
Qin Reng didn't speak again, and the carriage fell silent once more.
The car slowly pulled over to the side of the road, and Qin Reng unbuckled his seatbelt. "Get out."
Yu Yuetong was taken aback. She looked out the window and realized that the car was parked in front of a jewelry store.
"What are you doing here?" she asked, puzzled.
"I'm buying a ring," Qin Reng replied briefly, then got out of the car and headed straight for the jewelry store.
Yu Yuetong quickly followed, but her mind was filled with even more questions. Buying a ring? For whom?
Could it be... for her?
The thought flashed through her mind, and Yu Yuetong laughed self-deprecatingly. How could that be? Their relationship was nowhere near the point of discussing marriage.
Qin Reng entered the jewelry store, and a salesperson immediately greeted him. "Sir, Madam, would you prefer gold or platinum?"
Qin Reng glanced at Yu Yuetong. "Which one do you like?"
Yu Yuetong was stunned; she hadn't expected Qin Reng to let her choose.
"I..." Yu Yuetong was speechless for a moment, as she didn't understand these things.
"Miss, these are our newest styles, all the latest designs," the saleswoman greeted Yu Yuetong warmly.
Yu Yuetong looked in the direction the waiter was pointing, and the dazzling array of rings made her dizzy.
"Sir, Madam, this is our store's prized possession, a pigeon blood ruby ring, which perfectly complements this lady's elegance," the salesperson said, pointing to an exquisitely designed ring.
