Keeping the promise

Chapter 140 No Qualifications Left

Yang Wenju was startled and tried to break free from his hand, "Mr. Qu, please don't do this. Sober up first."

Qu Yichen refused to let go and kept muttering. Yang Wenju had no choice but to comfort him and try to calm him down.

With Yang Wenju's patient comfort, Qu Yichen gradually calmed down, but he still sat there in a daze, immersed in his own pain. Yang Wenju looked at him like this, and couldn't help but feel a little pity in her heart.

Yang Wenju looked at Qu Yichen's distraught look and sighed softly. She helped Qu Yichen sit down on the sofa beside her and poured him a cup of hot tea, hoping to sober him up a little.

Qu Yichen sat there, his eyes still blurry, and he kept mumbling Zheng Wancheng's name. Yang Wenju sat quietly beside him, not knowing how to comfort him for a moment.

After a while, Qu Yichen seemed to sober up a little. He looked up at Yang Wenju, his eyes full of apology, "I'm sorry, I lost my composure just now."

Yang Wenju smiled slightly, "It's okay, Mr. Qu, I understand your feelings."

Qu Yichen smiled bitterly and shook his head, "What can I do if I understand her? She is already someone else's wife. I missed her after all."

Yang Wenju patted his shoulder gently and said, "Mr. Qu, maybe this is fate's arrangement. But life must go on. You can't keep being depressed like this."

Qu Yichen nodded silently, but the bitterness in his heart could not be shaken off. He stood up and said to Yang Wenju shakily, "Thank you, I'll go back first."

Yang Wenju looked at him with some concern, "Mr. Qu, can you do this? How about I take you back?"

Qu Yichen waved his hand and said, "No need, I can do it myself." After that, he slowly walked towards the hotel elevator.

Watching Qu Yichen's departing back, Yang Wenju felt a complex emotion. She knew that love was sometimes helpless, and not everyone could be with the one they loved.

This not only reminded her that she had been like this before...

At noon the next day, Qu Yichen came to a restaurant he often visited, hoping to use delicious food to comfort his still aching heart.

When he just walked into the restaurant and his eyes inadvertently swept across a corner, he unexpectedly saw Yang Wenju.

Yang Wenju was sitting there quietly, with a simple meal in front of her. Her eyes were a little vacant, and she seemed to be thinking about something. Qu Yichen hesitated for a moment, but finally walked towards her.

"Do you mind if I sit here?" Qu Yichen asked softly.

Yang Wenju looked up in surprise. When she saw that it was Qu Yichen, she smiled and said, "Of course I don't mind, Mr. Qu."

Qu Yichen sat down opposite her and said with a smile, "I'm so sorry for causing you trouble yesterday."

Yang Wenju quickly shook her head, "No, no, Mr. Qu, don't say that."

The two were silent for a while, and Qu Yichen continued, "Why don't we eat together? I haven't ordered yet."

Yang Wenju smiled a little embarrassedly, "Will this disturb you too much?"

Qu Yichen waved his hand, "No, no, it's boring to eat alone, so it's a good opportunity to chat together."

So, Qu Yichen called the waiter and ordered some food. They ate and talked, starting with some insignificant topics and gradually talking about each other's life and work.

"You must be Zheng Wancheng's friend!"

"Yes, she encouraged me in the hotel and I relied on her a lot," Yang Wenju recalled.

"Yes, she is always so helpful and always like a little sun." When Qu Yichen said this, he felt warm and touched. He thought of the girl as if she was a shining little sun, bringing endless warmth and hope to the people around her.

Yang Wenju asked curiously: "Did you know Wancheng before?"

"Yes, that time my bag was stolen. When I was chasing the thief, it was Wan Cheng who hooked the thief with her foot and got the thing back. She may not remember all this, but I recognized her at first sight in the military camp, and then we walked side by side and talked about everything. But now... I don't even have the qualifications to go further." Qu Yichen recalled with a hint of loneliness.

Yang Wenju looked at Qu Yichen immersed in memories, with a hint of sadness on her face.

"But she is very happy now, isn't she? At least you are still best friends now." Yang Wenju comforted.

"Yes, you are right, we are still..." Qu Yichen suddenly understood.

Qu Yichen found that Yang Wenju was a very kind and hardworking girl, and Yang Wenju also felt that Qu Yichen was not as unruly as he seemed.

As the conversation deepened, the atmosphere between them became more and more harmonious, as if all the unpleasantness of yesterday had gradually dissipated.

After the meal, Qu Yichen and Yang Wenju both felt that the distance between them had shortened a lot.
