☆, Chapter 90: Forgetting Love
In the lounge, Bai Yutang was feeling a little upset. When he heard the voice, he said unhappily, "Come in."
The next second, the door opened and an unexpected figure appeared in front of him.
"Xianxian..." Bai Yutang stood up, and because he was too anxious, he almost knocked down the engagement ring on the small coffee table.
Nan Xianxian walked in.
She was wearing a light yellow long dress, which made her skin look even whiter. Her makeup today was also very beautiful, which further highlighted her pure temperament.
Bai Yutang was a little stunned.
They met for the first time at the company. Nan Xianxian was late and hurriedly walked into the VIP elevator by mistake.
This is what Nan Xianxian was wearing at that time.
Bai Yutang was amazed at the time and was particularly impressed.
After the two were together, Bai Yutang jokingly said that this skirt was a token of their love.
"Why are you here..." Bai Yutang looked at Nan Xianxian blankly.
Nan Xianxian gently lifted her hair and tucked it behind her ears. She pulled the corners of her mouth, revealing a bitter smile.
"I came to see you, Yutang, are you really going to get engaged to the Liu family?"
"Xianxian, why are you doing this..." Bai Yutang's smile was also full of bitterness.
He sighed helplessly and sat back in his chair dejectedly.
"You know, I can't..."
"Mom was almost hospitalized because of us. The company is in a very bad situation now. If I don't marry into the Liu family, I won't be able to explain to Grandpa. I can't just watch the company go bankrupt..."
"I don't want to hear this!" Nan Xianxian shook her head resolutely, "You promised to love me forever, and I am the only one who will not change my heart."
"I haven't changed my mind, I just had no choice." Bai Yutang didn't dare look at her, "Xianxian, let's just say we are not destined to be together, and forget me."
"If forgetting you was so easy, do you think I would come here today?"
Nan Xianxian's voice was tinged with tears.
"Bai Yutang, let me ask you one last time, are you really going to get engaged to the Liu family?"
"Think about it before you answer."
"If your answer is yes, you will lose me forever!"
"Xianxian, what do you mean?" Bai Yutang was a little panicked, "Don't do anything stupid!"
"I won't do anything stupid. Do you think I'm going to die for you?" Nan Xianxian laughed sarcastically, "You can find someone else, and so can I. If you get engaged to the Liu family today, I'll marry someone else right away!"
"Are you crazy? I told you this is just a temporary solution!" Bai Yutang was anxious. He stood up, took a step forward and grabbed Nan Xianxian's shoulders.
"Can't you give me a moment?"
"The company's current situation is very dangerous. I have no other choice. Once the Liu family injects this capital, the company will see a turnaround. There is still a long time from engagement to marriage. Maybe..."
"There's not so much uncertainty!" Nan Xianxian broke free from his hand. "Are you trying to trick me into waiting for you again? How long do you want me to wait?"
"Bai Yutang, I don't want to wait for you forever. I want you to answer me right now. Do you want me or the Liu family?"
"Xianxian, don't force me." Bai Yutang clutched the clothes on her chest painfully, "Why do you have to force me like this? I can't just give up the company and my parents..."
"So you can give up on me?" Nan Xianxian asked painfully.
Bai Yutang: "I... Xianxian..."
Looking at Bai Yutang's hesitant expression, Nan Xianxian waved her hand to interrupt Bai Yutang.
"Okay, I know what you mean. I won't bother you anymore."
After saying that, he turned and left.
"Xianxian!" Bai Yutang rushed forward and hugged her.
"Let me go!" Nan Xianxian struggled.
"Don't be like this, you know I love you in my heart. No matter who I am with, I will always love you."
Bai Yutang pushed Nan Xianxian against the door, pressed down the struggling Nan Xianxian, and lowered his head to kiss her.
Nan Xianxian refused at first, but gradually gave up struggling.
The quarrel in the lounge turned into the ambiguous sound of water.
Nan Xianxian's muffled groan was heard from time to time.
"Don't...you heartless man..."
"You already have someone else, I also want to find someone else..."
“Not here…”
"Yutang, want me again..."
"Take possession of all of me, leaving me no time to think about those sad things..."
In the corridor, a figure left silently.
The leather shoes stepped silently on the carpet.
The two people in the lounge were so engrossed in the passionate passion that they didn't even notice anyone had come outside.
…
The process of Bai Yutang's engagement party was similar to that of other similar engagement parties.
When most of the guests have arrived, the host goes on stage to speak first, then the newlyweds come on stage, and after this lengthy process, the banquet begins.
A wide variety of delicious dishes were served on the table, arranged neatly and exquisitely.
Gu Ran glanced around and found Gu Ximing.
The man sat at the table with Bai Yutang's friends. The people sitting at the table were all Bai Yutang's closest friends, a total of eight people, men and women.
Gu Ran didn’t know Nan Xianxian, but she remembered Nan Xianxian’s favorite yellow dress, which was described many times in the original novel.
Her long seaweed-like hair and light yellow dress made her look flawless white like jade - that's what the original novel said.
So...the woman with wavy hair and yellow skirt must be Nan Xianxian.
[She actually sat next to the third brother!]
[Oh no, I didn't expect her to hook up with me so soon.]
[It was at this dinner party, when everyone was toasting and Third Brother drank quite a bit, that Nan Xianxian took the opportunity to slip the drug into Third Brother's drink without being discovered.]
If I go over and stop it now, it doesn't seem like there's any legitimate reason...
If I call Third Brother over for no reason, he'll probably get suspicious, right? He might not even come with me.
[Or...wait until Nan Xianxian takes the medicine?]
[With the evidence in hand, if Third Brother knew about it, he would definitely be on guard.]
[As long as Third Brother is not allowed to go back to his room to be alone, Nan Xianxian will not have any chance to take advantage of it.]
Gu Ran thought so, and sat back down, not going over to disrupt the situation.
Next to her, Bai Yifan, who heard her thoughts, couldn't help but pay more attention to Nan Xianxian.
After staring at it for a while, he suddenly had some impression.
This Nan Xianxian seems to be Bai Yutang’s girlfriend?
When he went to Bai Yutang's company, Bai Yutang introduced him to it.
It was a few months ago.
Because it was just a quick meeting, Bai Yifan didn't have a deep impression. If he hadn't paid special attention, he would have forgotten this person long ago.
So why did this person drug Gu Ximing? Was there some grudge he didn't know about?
Since Gu Ran didn't move, Bai Yifan naturally wouldn't go over and meddle in other people's business. He just paid more attention to the situation over there.
All the dishes were served and everyone started to eat.
Gu Ran had been paying close attention to Gu Ximing's side, and it was indeed as lively as described in the novel.
The people at that table were all Bai Yutang's friends and classmates, and they were also very familiar with Gu Ximing, so they were naturally very relaxed, chatting and laughing, and urging each other to drink.
Gu Ximing drank three or four cups in a short while, which made Gu Ran anxious.
