The Ex Project

Chapter 1 Can't Wait

"He's extremely generous. He would buy me jewelry, house and luxury car which cost millions. If I didn' t accept it, he would even be angry ... This villa for me was bought by him for me. All the furniture in it was also custom-made by a foreign designer."

The woman in front of her was beaming with pride. Ding Yuqiu held the recording pen in her hand and listened quietly with a stiff smile on her face.

It was not until the woman finished showing off that she pulled her pale lips and said, "Mr. Huo is so nice to you. I'm so envious."

But in her heart, she could not tell if it was sour or numb.

The woman smiled happily. "Of course, he's extremely gentle and considerate. He always remembers my period and always prepares tonics for me in advance to prevent me from catching a cold. He even greeted the director in advance to prevent me from filming too tired scenes ..."

Ding Yuqiu subconsciously covered her stomach with her hands that were hurting from the awkwardness. Today happened to be her period, but no one else would remember her except herself.

And no one would do that for her.

The woman opened her red lips and wanted to continue showing off, but Ding Yuqiu was no longer patient enough to continue the interview. She did not want to hear anything that the man was good to other women, not even for a single word.

Seven years had passed, and she had been following him for the past seven years on the news, listening to countless women boasting in front of her about how well and carefully Huo Qiming treated them. She had already heard enough.

She finally couldn't bear to ask a question that a reporter shouldn't have asked.

"I heard that Mr. Huo is already married. You're a top star in the country. Aren't you worried about the impact on your career by getting involved in a married man's marriage?"

Her words were full of obvious query and rebuke. Ding Yuqiu had repeatedly told the newcomers that no matter what kind of person they interviewed, they had to be rational and not bring their emotions with them. However, today, she couldn't even do it herself.

The woman sneered indifferently. "They say he's married, but no one has seen what his wife looks like. Maybe he's not married at all. Even if they were married, that old hag of his family would definitely not be able to be compared to me. So why do I need to be afraid of a woman like that? Qiming dotes on me so much, and if I want him to divorce, isn't it just a matter of words?"

The woman fiddled with her beautiful fingernails and continued casually, "Besides, if I want to be involved, there needs to be a place for me to get in. So if their relationship is good, how can I be part of it? Miss Ding, don' t you think so?"

Ding Yuqiu's words were stuck in her throat.

After the interview ended, Ding Yuqiu put on her camera and recording pen well, and went to take a taxi with her exhausted body at the intersection of the villa area.

This land was very expensive, so the people who could buy a villa here were either rich or noble. The people who came and went were driving in and out of luxury cars. There were no bus stops or subway stations at all, and they rarely drove here even for a taxi.

She had been waiting for a few hours, and she could only feel the darkness in front of her. Her lower abdomen was throbbing with pain, so painful that she did not even have the strength to stand.

Suddenly, a red sports car pulled up beside her. That top star, Liang Shiying appeared behind the car windows.

"Miss Ding, you haven't left yet. Do you need us to send you downtown?"

Us?

As a reporter, she quickly picked up an unusual word and subconsciously looked at the driver's seat, her eyes trembling.

Huo Qiming. This had been countless times when she saw him with other women, but in the past she all watched him from afar through the camera. And now that she had witnessed this scene with her own eyes, she realized that she couldn't accept it.

He was wearing sunglasses and his side profile was still handsome. He was dressed in casual clothes and didn't seem to need work today. Where was he going with Liang Shiying?

When he saw Ding Yuqiu, he still looked ahead with his cold eyes and his long fingers impatiently pointed at the steering wheel.

Ding Yuqiu pulled on an extremely pale smile. "No need. I've already asked my husband to pick me up. He'll be here soon."

"Oh! "

The man in the driver's seat sneered and put his arm around Liang Shiying's exposed shoulder. "Honey, if she doesn't appreciate it, then don' t meddle. Since her husband is going to be here to pick her up, let her wait."

With that, he rolled up the window and left with a loud bang.

Ding Yuqiu stood rooted to the spot and tightened her grip on the corner of her clothes. She knew that Huo Qiming's cold laugh was obviously mocking her for pretending to be strong.

Because her husband had already left with another woman in front of her.

Her stomach hurt so much that she fell to the ground and watched the car disappear from view.

It's impossible for her to wait for her husband to come now...
