"Eh? Mr. Chen Yu, it seems that your childhood sweetheart already has a boyfriend!" Hiromi Jounouchi glanced at the man standing next to Zhu Yiting and teased Chen Yu.

"Isn't that perfectly normal? Unless you can't find someone, by our age, everyone should be getting a partner." Chen Yu heard Hiromi Jounouchi's words and also glanced at the man next to Zhu Yiting. He then replied, "And don't act like I don't have a girlfriend. She has a boyfriend, and I have a girlfriend too, it's no big deal."

"Hmph~! Since you say so, she's heading over here right now!" Hiromi Jounouchi scoffed and pointed at Zhu Yiting and her boyfriend, alerting Chen Yu.

Watching Zhu Yiting walking towards him, Chen Yu raised his eyebrows, looking at the girl coming to him and greeted her, "Hey, Zhu Ting~!"

"Do you really have to keep calling me that, Little Chick Chen?" Hearing Chen Yu calling her Zhu Ting again, Zhu Yiting retaliated with Chen Yu's old nickname. After teasing him back, she then introduced, "You know who this is without me saying, right? He's now my husband."

"Long time no see, Chen Yu," Zhu Yiting's companion greeted him, his tone filled with an undeniable sense of show-off. He deliberately linked arms with Zhu Yiting and then looked at Hiromi Jounouchi sitting next to Chen Yu, asking, "Who is this beauty? Aren't you going to introduce her, Mr. Chen Yu?"

Chen Yu shook his head helplessly at his nonchalant attitude, not surprised at all, and said, "After all these years, you're still the same old Jianchen."

Chen Yu then stood up and punched him lightly on the shoulder, smiling, "Keep your eyes in check. This is my fiancée. Haven't you heard that a friend's wife is off limits?"

"Isn't it supposed to be 'you're welcome'?" The man retorted with a teasing smile, unbothered by the punch from Chen Yu.@@@@

"These are things Zhu Yiting told me after we got to college. But she didn't tell me these out of kindness; she just wanted me to give up because she knew from the start that Wang Jiancheng was deceiving her. We were desk mates for so many years; how could she possibly not recognize my handwriting?" Chen Yu said with a chuckle, "She thought she had chosen a blue-chip stock, that I would just be an ordinary person, and that being with me would lead to an ordinary life, which was not what she wanted.

So, my story from back then isn't really worth telling. It lacks the sweetness of an unrequited childhood love, as well as the innocence of a first love. The one I considered a close brother was just superficial, and the girl I truly liked was just a calculating opportunist."

Hearing Chen Yu say this, Hiromi Jounouchi immediately grabbed his hand, wanting to comfort him but at a loss for words. She could only look at him worriedly, her eyes full of concern.

"Don't make such a face, it's been so many years, and I've long since let it go," Chen Yu said to Hiromi Jounouchi, smiling, his smile conveying a sense of relief, "I've already decided to live my life with you, Hiromi. Whatever they do doesn't matter to me anymore. I won't really come back here except to visit my parents. Just regard them as old classmates."

"It's best that you think that way, Mr. Chen Yu." Hiromi Jounouchi didn't know if Chen Yu was speaking the truth, but at that moment, she simply agreed with him.

After Hiromi Jounouchi reassured Chen Yu, she couldn't help but ask with a sense of curiosity, "Then why did she specifically invite you to the class reunion? If there's no entanglement between you anymore."

"To show me that even though I went to Japan and am doing well now, her choice back then wasn't wrong," Chen Yu said with an increasingly disdainful and indifferent expression, "I heard from someone that Wang Jiancheng has now opened an investment company that's very successful, managing funds amounting to several..."

Before Chen Yu could finish, Wang Jiancheng's voice came from nearby, filled with a hint of pride, "I tell you, Li Qian, you might as well quit your lousy job and come work with me. The money you earn in a year, I can make in a week. You see, these days money..."

But before Wang Jiancheng could finish, the sound of a shattered glass and a woman's scream interrupted the conversation.
