Chapter 256: It wasn't Annie they called that day!
Chapter 256: It wasn't Anne who was called that day!
Fu Yanjing lit a cigarette.
I've been spending more time with Wen Jin lately, and I'm smoking much less than before, though I'm only half-quitting.
It's unbearable to endure.
Although Wen Jin never disciplined him or made any demands on him because of cigarettes.
But Fu Yanjing is better at loving people than before.
As far as I can remember, this was during my time in the port city.
Every time they were briefly separated and then reunited, she would always rush into his arms.
She greedily inhaled his scent.
This habit hasn't changed to this day.
She still loved his chest.
Fu Yanjing inexplicably developed an idol image.
He smells sweet in front of the woman he loves.
I didn't want her to smell that foul, smoky odor, making it seem like I was still into romance.
With this mindset, one learns self-control.
However, given the circumstances tonight and the way Xu Xiangbai and Zhao Jinming were smoking, it was impossible for me to remain untainted by their corrupt ways.
Moreover, Wen Jin was not present, so Fu Yanjing no longer had to endure the cold and indifferent demeanor towards Yan.
The cigarette ash fell off thinly.
Smoke swirled around his delicate features.
Fu Yanjing held a cigarette in his mouth, but a smile played on his lips.
"It's hard to explain to you guys who don't have wives."
!!
Depend on.
That's incredibly insulting.
One of them had his wife run away, and the other was nipped in the bud.
People who consider themselves experts in love will run into obstacles everywhere.
It's actually quite charming to see the cold and indifferent Fu Yanjing like this.
Xu Xiangbai smiled bitterly, "It's so unfair, A-Jing. I'm the one who suffered because of you, but you've gotten what you deserve."
"It's all up to human effort." Fu Yanjing refused to accept the blame.
Zhao Jinming was completely baffled by the conversation.
Looking back at Xu Xiangbai's listless and weary appearance amidst the world of pleasure and debauchery, I felt both puzzled and curious.
After clinking glasses with someone, he said, "I'm the one whose fiancée ran away, why do you look so heartbroken?"
Xu Xiangbai leaned back on the sofa nonchalantly, saying dismissively, "What kind of relationship could I possibly have? I haven't even found one. People are avoiding me like the plague."
In fact, there was little chance of falling in love.
Before he could even figure out whether his feelings for An Yu were the same as his feelings for others,
The answer had already been obtained from An Yu.
They don't care about her at all.
Why should he bother with a relationship that's not even close to being established?
Zhao Jinming smiled. "That's not like you."
It doesn't look like it.
We've discussed this before.
But that feeling was just about having someone beside him who spoke softly to him and played with him.
I like it, but that's all.
Whether we stay together or separate.
Everything was pretty uneventful.
We stay together if we're having fun, and end it if we're not.
In the young master's world, there is only selection, not compromise.
There was no heart-wrenching excitement, nor any piercing pain.
He was like a man possessed by An Yu, and he didn't seem like himself anymore.
She's clearly the most feisty and impulsive.
Xu Xiangbai wondered if he was also the kind of shameless man who was restless because he couldn't get what he wanted.
Fu Yanjing was indeed the one who understood him best.
Let's just consider it a belated first stirrings of love.
Anyway, she's different.
But for now, this is the only way.
An Yu hates him so much, if he were to tell her "I like you" right now...
I can almost picture An Yu running and vomiting at the same time.
She might even consider it workplace sexual harassment. Given her skill in dissing others, the words she wrote down to criticize him would probably be as long as the "Shanglin Fu" (a famous Chinese poem).
Could it really become her nightmare?
Let me be a silent knight and wish her the best.
Xu Xiangbai didn't want Zhao Jinming to ask him about these things.
He hastily changed the subject, "Where's Zhou Jichen? Why isn't he here yet? It's been so long since he's played any cards."
Fu Yanjing said calmly, "Just got off the operating table."
"Look at Zhou Jichen, he has no woman in his heart, so his actions are naturally divine. Apart from that one relationship he had while studying abroad, it's like he cut off all emotional ties after that. How busy is he now? So many people are coming from all over the country, it's impossible to get an appointment."
Later, Xu Xiangbai probably felt depressed, so he kept urging Fu Yanjing and Zhao Jinming to drink.
When the alcohol started to take effect, Zhou Jichen hadn't arrived yet, but Xie Ting and his group, who were playing on the first floor, came over to say hello.
Both sides gave Fu Yanjing and Xu Xiangbai face.
The polite words were increasingly pleasing to the ear.
Xie Ting is a real social butterfly; he immediately felt that the huge private room was too empty.
Thinking back to the time Xu Xiangbai got drunk after his breakup.
Even more unbelievable.
"Has Young Master Xu changed his ways? There isn't even a female mosquito in the private room."
Getting over the pain of a breakup means starting a new relationship, right?
Besides, he didn't think much of the woman who had made him so infatuated after getting drunk last time.
I haven't heard any further news about Young Master Xu and her.
Xie Ting is quite warm and welcoming.
He plopped down next to Xu Xiangbai. "Young Master Xu, I've recently met a group of new people. You know Jiangbei Art Academy, right? The senior broadcasting students are all doing internships now, and they're trying to get all the resources they can. Why don't you pick one from among them?"
The bluish-white ash from Xu Xiangbai's mouth dissipated in clumps under the lamplight.
Xu Xiangbai's eyes were dark and brooding.
After Xie Ting's reminder, I remembered that there was still a score to settle between the two of us.
The wine glass in his hand slammed heavily on the table, and Xu Xiangbai suddenly grabbed Xie Ting's neck and pressed him down.
"You dare try to shove women into my room again? I didn't even say anything last time! Did you set me up when I was drunk? What's with this woman insisting on taking off her clothes and sleeping with me?"
If it weren't for his remaining strength and skill...
And that woman actually succeeded.
"You conspired with my grandfather? You'll stop at nothing to get a grandson?"
Xie Ting felt wronged. "Didn't you call her by her name? 'Annie, Annie,' who wouldn't think things through? Besides, she's your ex-girlfriend. I don't know how many exes she's had, but you've slept with her at least. You can't be that unfamiliar with each other when you're lying in the same bed, right? We're all in the same boat, why are you playing the innocent card?"
Hearing this, Xu Xiangbai's face darkened even more.
He pressed down harder, "I didn't let her succeed! Don't let any old flames or roadside weeds get involved. I hate it when stupid people try to use their brains, so stop giving me bad advice."
Xie Ting was stunned.
"What terrible idea? You two didn't sleep that night? Wasn't it for her?"
He was a little confused. "The main thing is, that little model posted it on WeChat Moments and Weibo. She even subtly showed off her affection for him."
"What?"
Xie Ting's neck was almost broken from being pressed down, and he struggled to pull out one hand and waved it above his head in a gesture of surrender.
"Let me go first, and I'll look for it for you."
Xu Xiangbai then released the person.
After searching extensively through his social circle, which was mostly filled with beautiful women, Xie Ting finally found Annie.
Click into Moments.
The first one pinned is it.
A photo of their hands clasped together shows Xu Xiangbai wearing a watch worth millions that is so dazzling it could dazzle anyone even through the picture.
The accompanying text was even more literary, perfectly showcasing the woman's tender feelings.
“I’ve started to believe the world is a circle because he’s come back to me.”
There are also many mutual friends in the comments, mostly small-time models and internet celebrities.
[Holy crap, you two rekindled your old flame? I heard Mr. Xu never goes back to an ex? You're something else!]
If we become rich and powerful, let us not forget each other!
"Then your resources will skyrocket again soon, won't they?"
Her replies were all ambiguous and highly misleading.
Among the many likes, Xu Xiangbai saw a familiar profile picture.
