Shattered by Fate, Restored by Truth

Chapter 449: You tell me, how should I start over?

Qi Ran arranged for her to pick up none other than a film star Su Wanxin was rather fond of, who was very famous on the Empire’s side.

Su Wanxin didn’t quite like to watch idol dramas; she generally preferred watching suspense, crime-solving, martial arts action blockbusters, and the like.

And this Keith, he didn’t take on many scripts, but the ones he did were choice and his reputation was very good.

Su Wanxin liked watching his films, having fallen into this ’trap’ because of Su Yao’s introduction at the time.

Keith came to the Imperial Capital this time to shoot on location, and he had to go back after a week.

They had texted each other the day before, and since Keith had a particularly large fanbase, both in the Empire and in Hua Country, he made sure to leave separately from the crew. After arriving, he quietly used a special passage and the two met in the parking lot.

After meeting, they exchanged names, and Su Wanxin drove him to the hotel.

The two chatted all the way there, and as Keith also studied finance in college, they naturally had plenty of topics to discuss and arrived at the destination before they knew it.

The restaurant for dinner was below the hotel, allowing Keith to go upstairs and rest after eating.

If it wasn’t for being spotted mid-meal by a certain Mr. Fu, Su Wanxin would have really thought it was an especially pleasant day.

It had been about ten days since they last spoke, and they didn’t communicate even on the rare occasions they met.

Yet even under such circumstances, when Su Wanxin was seen eating out with someone, she inexplicably felt a guilty conscience.

After realizing this, she found it laughable.

What was there for her to feel guilty about? Let alone the fact that she wasn’t here for a blind date today, even if she was, what would be wrong with that?

It didn’t matter whether she and Fu Shihan had been together before, nor for how many years they were together.

Even if she had borne him a child, as long as they had broken up without getting married, she had the right to accept anyone’s pursuit.

So with that thought, Su Wanxin now ate with ease.

She calmly accompanied Keith through dinner, laughing and talking. She sent him into the elevator with a wave goodbye, concluding a perfect first meeting.

Then in the parking lot, she braced for confrontation.

Fu Shihan sat smoking in her car, having waited for over half an hour.

Watching her come out and look at him with indifferent eyes, he returned the gaze calmly.

Su Wanxin walked up to the car, tapped on the hood, "Excuse me, could you move aside?"

"Who is that guy?" Fu Shihan couldn’t help asking.

The well-dressed blond man looked like a movie star.

Surely, Su Wanxin wasn’t dining with him to talk business, so what else could it be for?

Happy eating, happy talking, happy laughing.

A candlelit dinner?

Damn.

She never even had a private meal with him.

The night was too deep, and Su Wanxin could hardly discern the emotions in his eyes. She answered, "A friend."

"How come I don’t know you have such friends?"

"President Fu." Su Wanxin gave a bitter smile. "Then tell me, what do you know about me?"

Fu Shihan: "..."

"I lost my memory, and you’ve forgotten about me too, right? Everyone forgot everyone, it’s quite a fair deal.

We haven’t seen each other for a year, weren’t we both living well on our own? If so, then why keep entangling with each other?"

Whether she was doing well or not, Fu Shihan wasn’t sure.

But Fu Shihan knew for certain that he himself was a mess.

"Let’s both start over, shall we?"

Fu Shihan didn’t immediately speak up. His gaze fell on her neck where the necklace was hidden beneath her clothing, only a small part of the chain was visible outside.

"Start over?" He asked in a low, gravelly voice, "Tell me, how am I supposed to start over?"

He couldn’t control her now, but at least he should be able to control himself.
