"Actually... you don't have to go out of your way to apologize to me or say things like how I hurt your feelings."

Xiao Fei spoke calmly with an expression of serenity.

"It's all old stuff now, and I didn't take those words to heart at the time."

He paused slightly, his gaze becoming particularly gentle, looking affectionately at Tang Yuxin beside him.

"But, I still have to genuinely thank you."

"If you hadn't broken up with me back then, I wouldn't have been so lucky to meet my current wife."

Xiao Fei's eyes were firm, his tone full of gratitude, "Nor would I have such a blissful and sweet life now."

His words were sincere, every sentence filled with honesty.

Quan Xiuya listened quietly, her heart suddenly wrenched, a sharp pain striking her.

At this moment, she was filled with indescribable regret.

Why did she choose money over love back then, opting for that rich heir, only to be dumped by him and now work as a sales clerk here?

After all, she used to be the school beauty!

And today, she finally met this handsome and outstanding ex-boyfriend again, yet completely lost any chance to win him back. How could she not feel frustrated and sad?

Just then, the store manager approached with a professional smile, holding the bill in both hands.

Xiao Fei took the pen and quickly signed his name with flair.

Then, he extended his hand to Tang Yuxin, his face showing a tender and doting smile:

"Honey, let's go home."

"The kids are waiting for us eagerly at home."

Tang Yuxin's cheeks reddened slightly, she smiled sweetly, her eyes full of happiness.

Without hesitation, she reached out to hold Xiao Fei's hand, her smile so beautiful it was breathtaking:

"Okay!"

Xiao Fei picked up the shopping bags, holding Tang Yuxin's hand tightly, and with composed and determined steps, they left the store.

Leaving Quan Xiuya standing still, dazedly watching their figures disappear, her heart full of regret and unwillingness.

The store manager and the staff immediately bowed respectfully, their faces full of enthusiastic smiles, and said in unison:

"Welcome back next time!"

Taking advantage of the temporary absence of customers, a few female employees who usually don't get along well with Quan Xiuya couldn't resist taunting her when they saw her lost and bewildered look.

One female employee sneered, her tone sarcastic: "If it were me, I'd be regretting it so much now that I'd want to crawl into a hole."

Another female employee agreed, her face full of disdain: "I just don't get how someone could let go of such an outstanding man, must be out of her mind."

"Not to mention whether he has money or not, just look at his looks, he's a gorgeous guy you couldn't find in a thousand miles."

"I'd be willing to support him even if I had to work myself to death!"

Yet another female employee remarked with starry eyes, a lovestruck expression on her face.

"Some people, they claim they're pursuing higher and better things, but honestly, they just lack self-awareness."

"They don't even know their own value, letting go of the watermelon to pick up sesame seeds, ending up with nothing, waste of effort."

"Trying to rekindle past feelings in front of someone's wife without considering whether she's got the capability, it's simply daydreaming!"

"Exactly, ending up with no good whatsoever, even losing face completely."

"His wife is as beautiful as a fairy, none of us ordinary people can compare, let alone someone who can't even see her own worth."

"She still wants to steal someone's husband, should look in the mirror and see if she's worthy!"

These harsh words were like sharp thorns pricking Quan Xiuya's heart.

She was so angry her face turned red, her body shaking uncontrollably, she abruptly turned around, glaring and shouting: "My business is none of your concern! Stop making cynical remarks here! Don't think I'm easy to bully!"

The female employees showed no fear, rolling their eyes at her with faces full of contempt.

The manager heard the commotion, frowning as he glanced at Quan Xiuya, his tone cold and resolute: "After today, settle your wages and leave."

Quan Xiuya's face turned red with urgency, she argued loudly: "My three-month probation isn't over yet, you can't just fire me like that!"

The manager ignored her words, coldly instructing the other employees: "Get the place organized, prepare to open for business."

Quan Xiuya, feeling ashamed and angry, yanked off her name badge and threw it hard on the ground, shouting:

"I quit now!"

The manager glanced at her, speaking with indifference: "Suit yourself."

Quan Xiuya stamped her feet with rage, turning around furiously to pack her things.

At this moment, her heart was bitter as if she had swallowed a bitter herb, her anger burning fiercely inside.

Outside the store, a crowd had already gathered to watch the spectacle.

Among them were the couple who had previously traveled in the hotel vehicle with Xiao Fei.

They stared wide-eyed, faces full of undisguised surprise, watching intently inside the store.

Obviously, they never expected the ones enjoying this closed store service were the charismatic couple Xiao Fei and Tang Yuxin.

Xiao Fei was holding Tang Yuxin's hand tightly, his movements natural and intimate.

He glanced down at his watch, a relieved smile on his face, gently saying: "Honey, the next train leaves in an hour and there are plenty of tickets, we have enough time."

Tang Yuxin nodded gently, her eyes full of trust and reliance, she said softly:

"Let's hurry to the station then."

It's only a twenty-minute walk from the mall to the station.

Xiao Fei deftly packed the newly bought items into the suitcase, zipped it up, and then walked alongside Tang Yuxin toward the station.

At the station, they divided their tasks clearly.

Xiao Fei queued to buy tickets, while Tang Yuxin carefully checked the signage nearby.

Soon, they successfully obtained the tickets and proceeded through security to the waiting area.

After sitting down for just a moment, the boarding announcement came over the loudspeakers.

Everything went smoothly, as if everything was pre-arranged.

Boarding the train, Xiao Fei carefully placed the suitcase on the luggage rack, ensuring it was secure before sitting down.

Tang Yuxin gently leaned against his shoulder naturally.

Xiao Fei turned to look at her, his eyes full of concern, he said softly: "Honey, are you exhausted? If you're sleepy, take a nap and I'll wake you when we're almost there."

Tang Yuxin gently shook her head, her eyes sparkling brightly, her lips curved into a contented smile.

Not only was she not tired, but she was energized.

After all, this unexpected encounter with Xiao Fei's ex-girlfriend was like solving a long-standing concern in her heart.

The faint worry that lingered in her heart was completely gone now, and she finally felt at ease.
