Defrosting The Cold Young Master

Chapter 727: Chapter 731: You Can’t Treat Me Like This

She had liked Qiao Zui since she had first experienced love. Qiao Zui and Fang Yao were great friends. Fang Yao lived in her grandfather’s ancestral mansion.

To get closer to Qiao Zui, she moved into the ancestral mansion, just so she could chat with Qiao Zui and gaze at him when he visited Fang Yao.

She persuaded her grandfather to suggest a marriage alliance with Qiao Zui’s family. Even though he rejected it at the time, she remained the only female friend close to him.

She had already regarded Qiao Zui as hers, just waiting for him to return from the military service so that her grandfather could propose the marriage again. No matter what, she wanted to marry him.

Last time when Qiao Zui and Fang Yao visited her grandfather, she was out with her friends and didn’t see Qiao Zui.

In her wildest dreams, she never thought that when she saw Qiao Zui again, he had someone else he liked.

Her heart was shattered.

She loved Qiao Zui so much for so many years. Her heart was entirely dedicated to him. His photos were everywhere in her room, and her phone was full of videos of him that she had secretly recorded.

She had played every footage of Qiao Zui countless times. His every move, every word, every smile enthralled her.

She had always dreamt of being Qiao Zui’s bride.

She had imagined countless times what life would be like after she married Qiao Zui.

What she never thought of was that Qiao Zui, while gently holding another girl’s hand, would tell her that he had never liked her, that he loved another woman.

“Brother Xiaoqiao, you can’t do this to me…” Fang Mingzhu shook her head, pale and sobbing uncontrollably. “We’ve been together for so long, and now you’re saying you don’t like me…”

Qiao Zui frowned, “Fang Mingzhu, don’t say things that are misleading. We have never been together and we haven’t spent that much time either. You are just my good friend’s sister, nothing more, nothing less!”

“No, it’s not like that,” Fang Mingzhu clutched at her chest, crying so hard that her body shook. She squatted down and covered her face, “Why… why are you treating me this way…”

Fang Yixian had the maid take Mother Fang upstairs. Seeing Fang Mingzhu in such a state of collapse, his heart ached. He quickly stepped forward, helped her up, and embraced her, “Mingzhu, don’t be like this. You are so wonderful. There are plenty of people who love you. If Xiao Qiao doesn’t like you, it’s just that you two are not meant to be. You will meet someone better suited to you in the future…”

“No…I don’t want…” With a grasp on Fang Yixian’s clothes, Fang Mingzhu clung onto him as if hanging onto her last hope. “Brother, Brother Xiaoqiao can’t treat me like this, he can’t betray my feelings. I’ve waited for him for so long, but he, he brought another woman home…”

Qiao Zui’s forehead vein throbbed in anger, “Fang Mingzhu, I’ve told you, I’ve never acknowledged any relationship between us. How can you say I’ve betrayed your feelings?”

“Let’s go, Xiaoqiao, let’s go home,” Ye Xingbei glared at Fang Mingzhu and said coldly, “There are such people in the world who believe the world should revolve around them. If it doesn’t, it’s an injustice towards them. Pay no attention to her and let’s go home to treat your wounds.”

“Auntie is right. We should ignore these pointless people. It’s more important to treat your wound.” Mi Sheng’s eyes never left from Qiao Zui’s wounded arm.

For her, nothing was more important than healing Qiao Zui’s injury right now.
