Five years ago, Lin Sui abandoned her boyfriend of seven years, Qin Chen, to marry the playboy Zhou Dang, all to pay for her father's medical treatment.
Five years later, Lin Sui nearly g...
Everyone laughed along.
Jasmine boldly spoke up again: "So, what type do you like, boss?"
"I like those who are older than me, the older sister type." Gu Yuan said nonchalantly.
For a moment, the dinner fell into silence. Among the four people at the table, Lin Sui was the oldest. She twitched her lips. Isn't this harming her?
"Haha, haha, oh, I really hate that I have a boyfriend, otherwise I would definitely be suitable for this role at my age!" Lin Sui took over the topic again and joked.
"Yes, yes, Mai Sui's boyfriend is so handsome, otherwise I would also advise you to break up!" Lily cooperated with Lin Sui.
Gu Yuan smiled and said nothing more.
Lin Sui was eating meat, her heart beating fast. She intuitively felt that Gu Yuan seemed to have some feelings for her, but this little bit of interest could actually be completely ignored.
She didn't think Gu Yuan liked her that much. She had been liked by Qin Chen and Zhou Dang. She knew the feeling of being liked, and she could estimate the intensity of the love from the other person's behavior.
Gu Yuan didn't like her much.
After dinner, Lin Sui called a designated driver again. She was going back to her home tonight. Tomorrow was the weekend, and she planned to stay in bed for two days and stay comfortable until next Monday.
She looked at her phone and saw that Qin Chen hadn't sent her any other messages except reporting his arrival. She felt disappointed. After she got home and took a shower, she called Qin Chen on video.
Qin Chen answered the call quickly. He was wearing the hotel robe and his hair was wet. He looked even more handsome on the screen. Lin Sui felt a little itchy.
"I had dinner with my colleagues in the evening and drank some white wine." Lin Sui took the initiative to report his whereabouts.
"Yeah." Qin Chen's eyes were not looking at her, but at the TV in the hotel.
"Let's make peace. I was wrong. Can you forgive me?" Lin Sui went straight to the point. She was indeed the one who went crazy last night, so there was nothing wrong with an apology.
"Hmm..." Qin Chen set his gaze on Lin Sui.
Lin Sui bit her lip. "I miss you so much! Don't you need anything?"
The sudden question made Qin Chen blush, "Ahem... Be careful not to get caught by the Internet police."
"Huh? You're going to arrest me at this level? That's too conservative!" Lin Sui couldn't stop laughing.
"I'll deal with you when I get back." Qin Chen's eyes darkened and he stared at Lin Sui blankly.
"Okay, okay, I'm waiting!"
Strangely enough, the two of them opened up more to each other through the screen, chatting until the middle of the night before reluctantly falling asleep. Before falling asleep, Lin Sui suddenly felt a little bit in love.
She imagined the pillow as Qin Chen and fell asleep hugging it.
Zhou Dang was busy until dinner time, then hurriedly drove to the French restaurant where they had an appointment.
He was ten minutes late again. Yunjuan sat in his seat, looking at him with a smile, but didn't say anything.
"Sorry, the company is a bit busy today." Zhou Dang snapped his fingers, ordered a lot of dishes in one breath, and also ordered a bottle of red wine.
"Have a drink?" Zhou Dang raised his eyes and asked Yunjuan.
"Okay." Yunjuan nodded.
"It doesn't matter. I like to arrive early. I like to observe others and hate being observed." Yunjuan continued.
"Oh?" Zhou Dang smiled and found it interesting.
"You asked me to have dinner with you. Is that what I meant?" Yunjuan asked straight to the point.
Zhou Dang laughed, "You asked that question, but I'm not a worm in your stomach, so how can I know what you're thinking?"
Yunjuan also found it funny. Her curved eyes made Zhou Dang think of Lin Sui again.
"Do you have a boyfriend?" Zhou Dang asked.
"You finally asked this question. I thought you didn't care." Yunjuan said mischievously, supporting his chin.
"Actually, I don't really care, but I have to ask." Zhou Dang said, glancing at Yunjuan.
"I dated someone, but we broke up."
"What do you think of me?" Zhou Dang ate very elegantly.
"You? You are quite suitable for Wen Yue, but not for me." Yunjuan took small bites of steak.
"I disagree with you."
Zhou Dang smiled and picked up the red wine glass. The sound of clinking glasses was very crisp. Both of them saw temptation in each other's eyes.
"I'm telling the truth. Wenyue is very pure, and she fell in love with you at first sight." Yunjuan paused and continued, "Children from wealthy families like us have been accustomed to unhealthy marriages since childhood. So believe me, Wenyue can accept your infidelity in marriage, but I can't." Yunjuan stroked her hair.
"What I want is absolute loyalty. What I want is a lifelong companionship. You can't give me that, Zhou Dang."
Zhou Dang was silent. It was true that he couldn't give it to him. If Lin Sui had said this, if Lin Sui had said this before she hurt him, he would definitely agree. But times have changed, the person is not right, and the timing is not right.
He shrugged regretfully.
"That's fine." Zhou Dang raised his glass again. "You're welcome to attend Wen Yue and I's wedding."
Yunjuan nodded. They were all smart people. Even if Zhou Dang didn't say it, she would never tell Wen Yue what happened today.
To be honest, Zhou Dang does have a charm. He has a look that girls naturally like, and coupled with his carefree attitude, a good girl like Wen Yue is almost doomed to die at the first sight of her. She is destined to throw herself into a flame.
Yunjuan admitted that she was also attracted to Zhou Dang, but she knew too well that Zhou Dang was a ship that would not dock for anyone. He was always sailing, and there was always more than one woman on board. She didn't want to be his so-and-so, so she had to kill off her little lingering thoughts.
It was already late when Zhou Dang returned to Xiaorou's place. Xiaorou prepared a midnight snack for him, but he said he didn't want to eat, so Xiaorou went to run the bath water.
He was soaking in the bathtub, feeling funny. It was fine that he couldn't conquer Lin Sui, but how come he couldn't even conquer a woman who looked like Lin Sui?
But he had no intention of pestering Yunjuan. He'd been so mad yesterday, largely because Yunjuan looked like Lin Sui. Now that he thought about it, he wasn't the emperor, so why would he bother with all that body-study literature?
If Lin Sui saw this, she would laugh out loud, as if she thought he couldn't live without her.
After taking a shower, Zhou Dang and Xiaorou went into the bedroom.
…
He felt that one good thing about men was that they could separate love from the body and not make things difficult for themselves. Xiaorou hugged his waist tightly, and he could smell the pleasant scent of shower gel.
It was time for tenderness. He pinched Xiaorou's face and said, "You've lost weight."
"Don't you like me to be a little thinner?" Xiaorou looked up at Zhou Dang and asked.
"No need to lose weight, I'm very satisfied with your figure." Zhou Dang kissed Xiaorou's forehead.
Xiaorou is different from Lin Sui. She is the plump type, so it is difficult for her to feel broken. That is the state that Zhou Dang likes to see in Lin Sui.
"Damn it." Zhou Dang cursed inwardly. Why did he always think of her?
