Chapter 113: Overcoming Addiction How much money would he give you to spend the night? ...
-
The ringtone continued for a few seconds, sounding particularly jarring in the quiet lobby of the club. He shifted his gaze to the screen, saw the name clearly, and Wen Yining deliberately held the phone facing him for two seconds before answering it right in front of him. The pent-up emotions that had been building up for hours finally felt a little relieved.
Feng Yan's voice sounded a little drunk, "Where are you, Wen Yining? Aren't you going to tell me you're waiting for me in the car?"
"I ran into Shen Yueze, I'm going over there now."
She spoke slowly, glancing at the person sitting on the sofa next to her as she spoke. The person had a cigarette between their fingers, flicking the ash into the ashtray twice, still as nonchalant as ever, their eyes devoid of warmth, carrying a hint of amusement as if watching a good show. They neither stopped her nor interrupted, but simply watched her, waiting for her to continue.
Feng Yan instantly understood her meaning and chuckled, "Didn't you two break up a long time ago? What does he want with you? He won't bother you, will he? He's still in the private room. Shall I go over?"
"Didn't we agree to go back with me today?"
"No, we just chatted for a couple of minutes."
"Bring me a pack of cigarettes when you come."
"good."
Wen Yining hung up the phone and realized that he hadn't given any reaction from beginning to end. "You heard everything, right? I'm leaving."
Then he picked up his bag and stood up.
He then asked, "Would you like to stay at his place tonight?"
She retorted, "What's wrong? Is it not allowed?"
"How much money did he give you for spending the night with him?"
"he..."
She was about to refute when she remembered that Feng Yan had indeed given her a sum of money, just now during dinner.
She didn't refuse and accepted it as compensation for emotional distress. Feng Yan's fans were cyberbullying her every day because of their relationship, which made her afraid to log into her social media accounts for many days.
It's a bit of an undeserved disaster, since she wasn't the one who was dating or had an abortion. It's just that she's the only celebrity, which makes her a sitting duck. Her information is easier to dig up than that of ordinary people, since everything is public and transparent.
"The way you're talking makes me feel a bit frivolous."
"Where would he find the time to date you? What else could he be but a bed partner?"
"So what if he's a bed partner? Is that a problem? Can only you have him, and not me?"
Wen Yining said in an unfriendly tone, "You and Huang Yutong are more likely to have an improper relationship. I've known Feng Yan for many years."
"Was it you who beat his child?"
"You watched the news too?"
She didn't immediately refute him, but sat down again, thoughtfully observing his expression. He was quite indifferent, probably having long forgotten the intimacy they shared over the past few months. When they were together, things were indeed good, but once they separated, she couldn't enjoy any of the benefits anymore. He wasn't that kind; at most, he wouldn't ask for the things she had given him back.
"How could I not see all the gossip flying around? People are asking me if I've cheated on them."
When his friends calculated the timeline, it didn't add up, so they assumed the main reason for the breakup was that Wen Yining had cheated on him.
Especially Ye Qingchi, who never thought highly of him to begin with, seized the opportunity to ridicule him, grinning and saying that he deserved to steal Chen Jiabai's girlfriend.
He hasn't gone out drinking with them for the past two days because of this. There's a party tonight, and they've been contacting him one after another to invite him over. His phone is now in airplane mode.
Wen Yining smiled slightly, able to imagine how cheeky those people were; they were the type who loved to watch the drama unfold.
"So how do you explain it?"
Boys are a bit different. Even if they are cheated on, they won't bring it up. It's too embarrassing. Just like Chen Jiabai, he has never told outsiders about his girlfriend being stolen. Ye Qingchi always talks about it behind people's backs.
If Shen Yueze knew that he hadn't slept with Chen Jiabai at all, he would still have to say a few more sarcastic things. Wen Yining guessed that he would definitely feel great, after all, he hadn't slept with Chen Jiabai despite giving him so many things, but he had just spent a few days casually threatening to sleep with him.
Shen Yueze said, "If you were really pregnant, you wouldn't have been so quick to tell me."
"Why."
"They're going to swindle me out of money."
"..."
She didn't explain, because her phone started ringing again. It was Feng Yan calling, wondering why she had been fiddling with him for so long. "You're still not here? Are you too drunk to walk? I'll have my assistant pick you up."
At the same time, Shen Yueze turned on Do Not Disturb mode, and the notification sounds kept vibrating. Huang Yutong also called, "Brother, why can't I find you?"
He said lazily, "Turn right after you come out."
Wen Yining heard it clearly, "Did you take her back to Zhaoshan Apartment?"
"I'll go back today."
She said nothing, got up and left.
As I walked down the corridor, I unfortunately bumped into Huang Yutong. She came towards me, carrying a scent of perfume mixed with a hint of Shen Yueze's car air freshener. She was carrying a man's jacket and dressed extremely provocatively, highlighting her figure in low-waisted jeans that reached her hips. However, she had a good figure and a fairly large bust.
Huang Yutong looked her over with a puzzled expression, noticing that she had come from the direction of Shen Yueze. "You know Shen Yueze too?"
"Not only do I know him, but he's also my ex-boyfriend."
"You're the one he just broke up with?"
When Huang Yutong had dinner at Shen Kuo's house last time, she overheard them chatting, and it seemed that they cared about him quite a bit.
No wonder, I felt that Wen Yining looked at me strangely from the moment we met. I thought it was because we were incompatible. But it's normal. It's inevitable to feel a sense of loss after breaking up with a rich young man like him.
Are you coming to get back together with him?
"He contacted me on his own initiative."
Wen Yining didn't care whether it was true or not. She took the elevator, left the club, and entered the parking lot. Along the way, she didn't hear a word of farewell from Shen Yueze. Just like in the seaside suite, it seemed like a replay. She was pushed further away and walked in the opposite direction.
-
Feng Yan was almost asleep in the back seat, his arm behind his head, squinting as he said, "What took you so long? Did that bastard Shen Yueze not let you leave?"
"No." Her expression was indifferent.
"You should have less contact with him in the future. Their circle is pretty shameless. They have money and power, and their families will always back them up no matter what they do. He probably acted like a beast when you were dating him."
"..."
She was silent for a moment, then said, "Actually, no. He's a decent person. He introduced me to his network of contacts, but it didn't work out in the end."
"When they play around with women, they don't treat them like human beings at all."
Feng Yan has been in the industry for a while and has dealt with many different types of people. "He can be summed up in four words: a hypocrite."
There's no need to go into details. He'd seen how chaotic games with no bottom line can be, and he figured Shen Yueze was that kind of person too—powerful and with a sense of superiority. How good could a Celestial Dragon's personality be?
The assistant drove in front without saying a word the whole way, while Feng Yan rested with his eyes closed.
She turned to look at the street scene outside the window, feeling empty and lost. Many images from tonight flashed through her mind, chaotic and disordered: him helping Huang Yutong pay back the money, his hand on Huang Yutong's thigh...
Always in control, always calm and composed.
Feng Yan's rented apartment wasn't far; it only took twenty minutes to get there. His assistant escorted the two of them downstairs and reminded them, "Don't come out together tomorrow, bro."
"Yeah, we probably won't be going out."
Once upstairs, Feng Yan said, "Go take a shower first."
His intention to sleep with her couldn't be clearer.

A note from the author:
Hey everyone, let me tell you, it shouldn't affect your reading experience. I really hesitated for a long time, but after seeing several very popular stories where closing it didn't seem to affect anything, I decided to close it too.
Because it requires making choices, turning it off means giving up the thousands of positive reviews that follow.
Each chapter includes thoughtful and precise long reviews and analyses, which gave me a clear understanding of the book.
I definitely don't dare close this thread right now [laughing and crying emoji] I haven't read any of the great comments yet.
Each chapter averages about 99 positive reviews and 1 negative review, but I need to be emotionally sensitive when writing, and I'm quite emotional.
Yesterday, a negative article appeared saying it was poorly written. Two readers defended me, and we argued for over twenty posts. I'm very grateful, of course, but I don't want readers to be angry because of me. [laughing and crying with facepalm]
In short, the point of reading is to have fun! Wishing you a happy life!
I updated the next day. I also have that social media platform to communicate with.
You can also submit your nutrient solution on the article's homepage. Thank you, everyone!
There's still a lot more to the story!
