Thinking of the past, Xu Rui's eyes became a little heavier.
"Hey?" She nudged him with her elbow and tried to comfort him, "I think Chen Sisi is really good. She's simple-minded and doesn't have so many twists and turns. How is she not better than the woman who abandoned you?
You have been together for so long and are about to get married. Don't be stupid. If that woman can abandon you once, she can abandon you a second time.
Even if she comes back to you, don't pay attention to her. She's not worth it. If you miss the person in front of you because of her, it will be too late to regret it later."
"How come you can talk more than my mother?"
Xu Rui tried to persuade her earnestly, but unexpectedly, all he got in return was a look of disgust from the other party. He frowned and curled his lips, saying, "You asked me to come here, didn't you just want to talk to me and let me be your advisor?"
Gong Yi smiled. "You're a bachelor who's been single for twenty-nine years. Why would I seek your advice?"
Xu Rui, who felt like he had suffered billions of points of damage, said: "..."
He glared at the other person and said, "At least a bystander can see things more clearly. You can't find a wife even if you have one, so you can just make do with a single guy like me. Why are you so picky?"
"I know what's going on. Come drink with me." Gong Yi said, filling the cup in front of Xu Rui.
Feeling depressed because of being looked down upon, Xu Rui picked up the cup and drank it all.
Gong Yi smiled, then raised his glass and drank it all. In the end, they both passed out drunk and fell asleep on the sofa.

Although she was supposed to go to bed early, Chen Sisi couldn't sleep at all. After washing up and going to bed, she sent a good night message to the man, but she didn't receive a reply for a long time.
I almost didn't sleep all night and only felt a little sleepy after dawn. I just dozed off for a while when I was woken up by the ringing of the phone.
Normally, when she sleeps, she would turn her phone to Do Not Disturb mode, but this time, in order to wait for news from Gong Yi, she did not do so.
Thinking it was him calling her, Chen Sisi picked up her phone and pressed the answer button directly. Unexpectedly, a female voice came from the receiver.
"Hello, Miss Chen!"
"Who are you?" The royal sister's voice in the microphone sounded somewhat familiar. When Chen Sisi asked, she already had a vague guess, and the fact was as expected.
"We just met last night. Miss Chen must still remember me. My name is Li Man, Li as in dawn, and Man as in comics."
Chen Sisi frowned and took over the conversation and asked, "What do you want to talk to me about, Miss Li?"
"I'd like to buy Miss Chen a cup of coffee."
"No need, we're not familiar with each other." After saying that, Chen Sisi was about to hang up the phone when she heard the other end say, "But I know Ayi very well."
"He certainly hasn't told you about me and him, right? You don't even know his most important emotional history. Are you really sure you want to marry him so blindly?"
"Address." It must be said that Li Man's words really hit Chen Sisi's heart.
Probably girls who are not in love will not care about their boyfriend's past relationship history, and will usually ask in advance or when they just get together how many girlfriends he has had before.
Gong Yi is seven years older than her, tall, rich and handsome. He has been in a relationship before, so Chen Sisi is not surprised at all and can accept it.
When she asked him about his ex-girlfriend before, he was vague in his answers, but Chen Sisi could still understand.
Breaking up is never a pleasant thing. He didn't want to say much, and she didn't have to dig into his wounds and expose them.
Love is originally a process of choice. It is a probability event that it will succeed at first try, and breaking up if it is not suitable is the most normal thing.
The past is already the past; what matters is the present and the future.
But the appearance of Li Man broke Chen Sisi's long-standing optimism, because the man's reaction was quite big the moment he saw Li Man.
This made Chen Sisi feel that Li Man was a very important and special person to him.
But when she asked him last night, he didn't give her a direct answer, which made her think more.
An hour later, Chen Sisi arrived at the "Starlight" Coffee Shop as scheduled according to the address given by Li Manfa.
"Ms. Chen is very punctual. Please sit down and have a look at what to drink." Seeing the figure coming towards her, Li Man smiled and pushed the drink list to the seat opposite.
"No need, just say whatever you want to say."
"Then I'll just order whatever I want." Li Man smiled and called the waiter, "Beautiful lady, two cappuccinos, please."
-
He slept until noon, pressed his swollen and aching temples, picked up his phone to check the time, and saw the good night message Chen Sisi sent last night.
I clicked the screen and replied to her, [My phone was charging last night, I fell asleep and didn’t see it. I just woke up. Are you up yet? ]
After waiting for a long time without any response, Gong Yi was thinking of making a voice call, but his assistant's phone rang first.
"Mr. Gong, Madam has met with Miss Li at the Starlight Cafe at 69 Bay Street."
