Frustrated, Su Yu wrapped herself up like a silkworm cocoon, forcibly closed her eyes, and tried to fall asleep. Once she was asleep, all her worries would disappear.
The next day, at 8 PM.
Su Yuxi entered the bustling clubhouse as promised to attend the welcome party hosted by Lu Yunzhou's so-called brothers.
Perhaps this person had some influence, because tonight they booked the entire club. The lobby was meticulously decorated, with dazzling lights and melodious music. As soon as you entered, you could feel the liveliness and luxury.
Lu Yunzhou was standing not far away, talking quietly with a waiter. When his gaze inadvertently fell on her, his voice seemed to get stuck in his throat, and time seemed to stand still. Then he blankly waved the waiter away, his eyes completely drawn to her figure, unable to look away.
Su Yuxi has fair skin and a beautiful face; her appearance is stunning, a fact widely acknowledged in the industry.
Tonight she wore a pale yellow cheongsam that clung to her curves, perfectly outlining her graceful figure.
Her long hair was styled into a bun, with two white jade hairpins, as bright as moonlight, gently inserted into her hair, casual yet elegant. Her earrings were two round pearls, which added to her classical charm.
With her exquisite makeup, red lips, alluring eyes, and dark pupils like dazzling gems, she exuded a captivating charm. From afar, she appeared pure, serene, and refined; up close, she was stunningly beautiful and breathtaking.
Absolutely breathtakingly beautiful.
He used to think that even the most beautiful woman would become tiresome after a while. At that time, he was detached from the world, not only because he had seen enough of that face, but also because he was ridiculed by many brothers for staying with Su Yuxi.
Looking back now, none of those women could compare to his charm even slightly.
"Xi Xi, you're here." Lu Yunzhou smiled broadly and strode over, wrapping his long arm around her waist. The fragrance emanating from her upper body made his heart flutter.
Su Yuxi stiffened slightly, her brows furrowing. She tried to move away from him discreetly, but found that the man was gripping her waist tightly, as if afraid she would run away at any moment.
She cursed the man in her heart, but still managed a smile: "Hmm."
She dressed up so beautifully today, but not for him. She had been thinking about this all morning. Since she was resisting this man both physically and mentally, she had to start looking for someone else.
And that's how we ended up in this situation.
Who knew that this deadly situation would occur as soon as I entered?
I'm so annoyed by her.
Su Yuxi was furious. She pushed his arm and urged, "Let's go, let's go upstairs, don't keep them waiting."
Lu Yunzhou's smile remained unchanged as he moved even closer to her, almost touching her: "Okay."
The two took the elevator to the eighteenth floor and stepped out side by side. They almost bumped into a woman who suddenly appeared from the side, but Lu Yunzhou pulled her back so that they wouldn't be hit.
He was about to yell at whoever was so reckless when he met Jiang Shiqian's red eyes.
She was slender with a gaunt face, and was currently clutching her stomach, breathing softly. Upon seeing the two of them, she seemed to have witnessed something unbearable, and tears streamed down her face like broken pearls.
In just a few seconds, a large area in front of her feet was soaked, a speed comparable to a heavy rain.
Lu Yunzhou's nerves tensed up instantly. He quickly released his grip on the person he was holding and strode over to support the swaying Jiang Shiqian. His voice was tinged with panic, but he tried his best to remain calm: "Qianqian, why did you come out? Didn't I tell you to wait inside? I'll be up in a bit."
Jiang Shiqian instantly transformed into a sickly kitten, taking advantage of his strength to press herself tightly against him, almost embedding herself into his body.
Lu Yunzhou gently patted her back, the movement as if he had practiced it a thousand times, it was incredibly smooth.
"I'm fine, it's just a bit stuffy in there. Since you weren't here, I came out to get some fresh air. Who knew my body would be so uncooperative and I suddenly felt unwell. I'm so useless."
Her voice was soft and her expression gentle, as if she regarded the man on top of her as her savior, but when she looked at Su Yuxi next to her, her eyes flashed with malice as cold as winter.
She thought that if she was obedient enough and dependent enough on Lu Yunzhou, she could win back his love. She could feel that the man still loved her.
But... when she saw Su Yuxi's perfect face and healthy body, she knew that simply being submissive wouldn't be enough to keep Lu Yunzhou by her side.
Therefore, she stopped pretending to be hostile towards Su Yuxi. She wanted to win the man back. If the woman opposite her was sensible, she should leave on her own, otherwise...
Su Yuxi clicked her tongue twice in her heart, truly marveling at her two-faced acting skills. Her words were soft and gentle, but her eyes were so sinister that she wished she could devour her flesh.
Humans are terrifying.
After the two of them comforted her, the delicate and innocent girl finally stopped crying and said softly, choking back tears, "Alright, I'm fine now. Let's go. Miss Su arrived late to begin with, and it would be bad to make people wait too long."
Lu Yunzhou then remembered that Su Yuxi was also present.
He had originally planned to pick her up and discuss this matter when he went downstairs, but he suddenly forgot about it the moment he saw her.
"Well, Xixi, Xiaoqian said she was too bored at the hospital, so she wanted to come out for a walk. Plus, everyone there is someone she knows. She hasn't been in touch with everyone since she went abroad, so this is a good opportunity for us to get together."
Don't overthink it.
As a caring fiancée, she naturally wouldn't want to make things difficult for him, but if the person in your arms hadn't been crying and sobbing here, would she have been so late?
"Yes, that's good. It's rare for Miss Jiang to come back, so she should cherish every day. Otherwise, if something happens, she might not even be able to see him one last time."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Shiqian's face, which had just regained some color, turned pale again. She swayed slightly and immediately put on a tearful expression: "Miss Su, how could you say that?"
Su Yuxi looked innocent, but she didn't say anything.
It's not that he said it was a rare opportunity for him to come back, or that he said it was a chance to get together with everyone. Besides, isn't she critically ill and dying? If she can't be saved, then every meeting will be one less. Where did she go wrong?
Lu Yunzhou glared at Su Yuxi disapprovingly, but seeing her conflicted expression, he still tried to explain for her: "Qianqian, Xixi didn't mean that. She's just straightforward and her words aren't pleasant to hear."
"Xixi, quickly apologize to Qianqian." Patients are already sensitive about life and death, and she said it so bluntly, isn't she just trying to make people feel uncomfortable?
Su Yuxi rolled her eyes: "What are you apologizing for? What did I say wrong?"
"Isn't Miss Jiang critically ill? Every time she sees her friends, it's one less time she'll have. What's wrong with what I'm saying?"
