Chapter 16: When I use you and me, that is when I am happiest...
Jin Ci had just finished preparing for the young lady's birthday after spending many days there, but unexpectedly he received the news that the young lady had moved to a new place, and it was an ordinary bar.
Jin Ci asked, "Princess Wuwu, what's going on?"
Xiang Wu replied, "Brother Jinci, for my brother's lifelong happiness, please bear with me."
Jin Ci: "What does your brother's lifelong happiness have to do with where you celebrate your birthday?"
Xiang Wu didn't reply, she was still busy.
It was almost evening, so she had to hurry.
Xiang Wu has an independent aesthetic system. Although she likes exaggerated and bright clothes, she believes that handsome men must be refreshing and simple.
Her brother has a good appearance and is born with sexual tension that male stars can never possess no matter how much they use atmosphere to create. He has a sexiness with an unconscious sense of aggression, but for such a wolfdog, if he had a pair of clear and fragile eyes, it would be a sure win.
Xiang Wu urgently bought a black slim-fit mid-neck sweater, which could perfectly show her figure and muscles, broad shoulders, narrow waist and chest muscles, but not too much. She wore a pair of black trousers underneath, the style of which was carefully selected by her and different from regular formal wear.
Xiang Wu had already imagined how Lu Wangshan would look wearing this outfit. He should be able to pack it up and send it directly to the top European catwalk to show his talent.
Xiang Wu drove directly to Lu Group with a bag of clothes. He had no trouble walking through the door and entered Lu Wangshan's office. He saw him raise his head from behind the computer, with a pair of thin-framed gold-rimmed glasses on his tall nose.
"Are you nearsighted?" Xiang Wu asked in surprise.
"Only when I'm looking at the computer." Lu Wangshan asked, "Why are you here?"
"It suits you quite well. You should wear it to my birthday party too." Xiang Wu placed the bag on his desk. "I brought you clothes for tonight. My party has a dress code! You must abide by it!"
Lu Wangshan didn't find it strange that Xiang Wu made such a request.
He casually opened the bag and took a quick look. It was a dark mass, but within his acceptable range. "What's the difference between this and what I'm wearing now?"
"What do you know?" Xiang Wu raised her head and complained in her heart about the man's lack of taste. "The styles are different, okay?"
"Okay, I understand. You go out first."
"Aren't you getting off work yet?" Xiang Wu glanced at the time. "My party will be here soon. Go change now."
Lu Wangshan felt that he really couldn't stay in the same room with Xiang Wu for more than ten minutes, and he felt a headache.
There are generally two types of people's indulgence of Xiang Wu. One is that they really dote on her, and the other is like Lu Wangshan, who does it for their own peace and quiet.
There is an independent lounge inside Lu Wangshan’s office.
As soon as he put on Xiang Wu's all-black suit, he couldn't help but frown and pushed the door open: "What's the theme of your party?"
“No theme, freestyle!”
"I'm dressed like I'm going to a bar to sell meat."
Xiang Wu laughed heartily and quickly pulled him out, not allowing him to change back: "Even if I were to sell my brother's meat, it would have to be the most expensive!"
-
Yuntan’s colleagues went straight to the bar after dinner.
There is always drinking involved in dinners with the sales department.
Yuntan likes to drink, but doesn't like to drink with people he doesn't like. He wanted to use his alcohol allergy as an excuse to establish himself as a non-drinker in the company.
But someone with a quick tongue shouted "Yun Tan has a great alcohol tolerance", making her the target of public criticism in an instant.
"Is this true?" Huang Youwei was surprised. "Xiao Tan can drink a lot? You really can't judge a person by appearance!"
Yun Tan quickly waved his hands: "No, no, he was just talking nonsense."
Li Sen was quick to slap Ma Zhijie on the back. Ma Zhijie immediately fell silent and realized that he had said the wrong thing.
Huang Youwei smiled and said, "I know Xiao Ma. He's not the type to talk nonsense. Xiao Tan, how much can you drink?"
Yun Tan could only say the least: "It's barely 3 taels."
"This answer is not honest. For someone like Xiao Ma to say that he can drink a lot, he must be able to drink at least 5 taels, right?" Huang Youwei said.
Another male colleague from the sales department chimed in, "Looks like we should invite Yuntan to the next sales department drinking party so we can all learn from each other."
Yuntan suppressed a disgusted smile and didn't reply.
Soon a group of people arrived at the bar, and Li Sen stopped her at the door: "Are you really drinking?"
Yun Tan shrugged: "Just pretend to be drunk and run away."
Li Sen smiled: "Then I'll drink with you and go out together."
-
Xiang Wu noticed Yun Tan as soon as he walked into the bar.
Xiang Wu asked a friend to inquire about the seats reserved by LH company in advance, and he himself booked a great seat on the second floor where he could observe their booths.
Xiang Wu's birthday parties always have a lot of friends, and even the largest booth on the second floor is a bit crowded.
Most of them are her good friends, and some are friends who grew up with her, such as Lu Wangshan and Jin Ci.
Originally, I should have called him Lu Shiyue, but he was not in Beijing recently, so I gave up.
Jin Ci still couldn't understand why the eldest lady suddenly changed her address here?
You have to know that the venue he arranged is bigger than this entire bar.
Jin Ci leaned close to Lu Wangshan's ear and asked, "Your sister has a new boyfriend? Could it be the owner of this bar?"
Lu Wangshan raised his eyebrows: "Go ask her yourself?"
"No, I wouldn't dare."
Everyone knows that Xiang Wu just broke up a while ago, and it was because of Zhong Xuzhi's involvement.
Lu Wangshan felt that Xiang Wu and her sisters were really noisy, so he and Jin Ci sat at the edge, playing with their phones out of boredom.
Suddenly, the eldest lady said in a commanding tone, "Brother, can you go downstairs and get me a glass of wine?"
Lu Wangshan raised his eyes and asked, "You don't know how to call a waiter?"
"Hey, isn't it most convenient for you to sit next to me?" The eldest lady pushed his arm. "Hurry up! I want to try their hidden wine list!"
It's nice to go downstairs and have some quiet time.
Lu Wangshan got up and went downstairs. When he reached the bar, he suddenly stopped and looked up at Yun Tan who was standing in front of the bar.
He recognized it just from the back.
He was also wearing a simple black, cashmere shirt with an open collar that vaguely revealed a bulging curve.
Yun Tan took the wine glass and when he turned around, he saw Lu Wangshan was also stunned.
The two have not been in contact since that dinner.
Lu Wangshan asked the bartender for two drinks from the hidden menu and asked calmly, "Why are you here?"
"With my colleagues." Yun Tan paused for a moment, "What about you?"
"Xiang Wu's birthday."
Yun Tan exclaimed, "Ah!" and suddenly realized, "She also called me this evening."
Lu Wangshan raised his eyebrows: "Do you know each other?"
Yuntan wanted to shake her head, but the other person had just invited her to his birthday party, so it seemed impossible that she was not acquainted with him.
"I happened to run into her yesterday at the company gate when her car broke down, so we got to know each other."
Lu Wangshan finally understood why Xiang Wu was going through all this trouble.
He tilted his head to glance at the booth where Yun Tan's colleagues were sitting. Most of the people sitting there were men. He said calmly, "Drink less."
"Um."
Lu Wangshan took two glasses of wine freshly prepared by the bartender and went back upstairs.
Xiang Wu's pupils were sparkling when she looked at him. Lu Wangshan gave her a warning look, signaling her to shut up.
Xiang Wu took the drink and looked at him with a smile: "Brother, the beauties in this bar are quite pretty, huh?"
Jin Ci also noticed it: "Were you talking to that beautiful woman at the bar just now? What were you talking about?"
"Just say 'move aside'." Lu Wangshan said casually.
"Really? I see you guys said several sentences?"
Jin Ci just realized that his seat was just right to see the booth where the beautiful woman was. She was really beautiful and had such a great temperament. "Those people next to them look like colleagues, right? What company are they from?"
Xiang Wu asked, "Brother Jinci, what kind of company do you care about?"
"Don't tell me, this is really my cup of tea. I kind of want to chat her up." Jin Ci said, "It's been several years since I fell in love at first sight."
Xiang Wu glanced at Lu Wangshan, who had a calm expression.
Xiang Wu smiled: "Then go and ask. It's love at first sight, but you don't seize the opportunity. Brother Jin Ci, you are so handsome, maybe she will actually be willing to give you her contact information."
This was the first time Jin Ci heard this arrogant young lady praise him for being handsome. Besides being flattered, he also felt a little...
"Princess Wuwu, I get scared when you say that suddenly." Jin Ci said.
Xiang Wu raised her eyes, her large, twinkling eyes like a cunning fox. "But my brother just chatted with her for quite a while. Could he be trying to flirt with her? Did he fail to get her WeChat ID?"
Jin Ci laughed heartily. He patted Lu Wangshan on the shoulder and jokingly said, "He's been targeted by the Yuan family recently. With both Chen Ting and Yun Tan, I'm afraid he won't be able to escape for a while."
This was pure ridicule, mocking Lu Wangshan's bad luck and the Yuan family's ugly greed. The Shen family could still barely make it, but Yuan Fang didn't know what he thought about Yun Tan's family background. He was really confused.
Lu Wangshan glanced sideways and looked at Jin Ci.
His eyesight was quite sharp, like a cold sword in the dim light.
Jin Ci shuddered for no reason: "What?"
Lu Wangshan raised his chin towards the booth downstairs and said, "That's Yuntan."
Jin Ci's eyes widened in an instant, and he was so shocked that he cursed unconsciously: "What the hell?"
“Is this true?!”
Lu Wangshan did not repeat himself.
Jin Ci turned his head again to look at Yun Tan downstairs, and saw that group of tasteless male colleagues were pouring wine for her and urging her to drink, while Yun Tan looked to have drunk too much.
Jin Ci felt distressed.
He thought Xiang Wu had chosen a great venue for the party.
He fell in love.
Jin Ci patted Lu Wangshan on the shoulder and said, "This is really my cup of tea, 200% perfect. How about this, I'll go after her and rescue you, brother, at the same time."
Xiang Wu, who was watching the fun, whistled without thinking of making trouble.
Jin Ci couldn't wait any longer and began to think about how to start a conversation.
Just as he was about to stand up, Lu Wangshan pressed his shoulders back onto the sofa.
He stood up and looked down at Jin Ci: "Aren't you very curious about who dumped me in the first place?"
Jin Ci: "Ah?"
Lu Wangshan said calmly: "It's her."
After saying that, Lu Wangshan picked up the phone on the coffee table and dialed Yun Tan's number.
He turned and went downstairs, and when Yun Tan answered the phone, he said, "Are you leaving or not?"
"ah?"
"Find an excuse and say your house is on fire." Lu Wangshan was a little annoyed because he saw Yun Tan being urged to drink by that group of people.
The second floor at this moment.
Jin Ci watched Lu Wangshan standing at the door of the bar making a phone call. Yun Tan on the opposite side answered the phone and said a few words. They both hung up at the same time. Then Yun Tan said a few words to his colleagues, stood up, and left the bar at the same time as Lu Wangshan.
Jin Ci was stunned: "This, this?"
He turned his head to look at Wu, "Wuwu, is this really your brother's ex-girlfriend?!"
Xiang Wu was also at a loss. The eldest lady's expression was far from as relaxed as before.
She only guessed that Lu Wangshan liked Yun Tan a little, but she never thought that Yun Tan was her brother's legendary ex-girlfriend.
Two minutes later, Xiang Wu received a text message from Lu Wangshan.
"Don't let anyone else know what happened today."
Xiang Wu: "So, Yun Tan is really your ex-girlfriend?"
Lu Wangshan: "Yeah."
Xiang Wu pressed the phone against his chest, so shocked that he could hardly breathe.
-
Lu Wangshan felt that his relationship with Yun Tan was indeed ridiculous. No one knew about it when they were together, but after they broke up, it became known to everyone.
First it was Lu Chengjun, then Xiang Wu and Jin Ci.
As soon as Yuntan walked out of the bar, he regained his clarity of mind.
As soon as those beasts arrived at the bar, they wanted to get her drunk. In fact, if Lu Wangshan hadn't called her, she would have been ready to pretend to be drunk and use it as an excuse to slip away.
"How much did you drink?"
"Four glasses of foreign wine."
Lu Wangshan knew that this was far from Yun Tan's alcohol tolerance. He turned his head to look into her eyes and saw that she was indeed not drunk at all. "Let's go. I'll take you home."
"You didn't drink?"
"without."
"Oh, oh." Yun Tan followed him into the car.
Lu Wangshan always exudes an aggression, and it is easy to feel suffocated when staying in a cramped carriage with him.
Yuntan rolled down the car window and the wind blew her hair.
I don’t know if it’s because the evening breeze is too cold, but it makes her stomach hurt a little. It has hurt intermittently several times recently. Could it be that she is not used to the local climate?
Suddenly, the passenger window slowly rolled up.
Yun Tan turned her head and saw Lu Wangshanguan. He didn't look at her and asked, "Aren't you cold?"
The air around became cramped again.
Lu Wangshan asked, "So, you left me and went to Milan to escape Yuan Qinrong's control?"
Yuntan was stunned.
It was only later that she realized that Lu Wangshan was referring to the argument between her and Yuan Qinrong after the dinner that day.
But she didn't expect that Lu Wangshan's focus would be here, rather than her rejecting him again.
"Well, part of the reason."
Yuntan couldn't explain what was the result of a series of events at that time.
"So your going to Milan has nothing to do with Ding Mian, anyone else, or even me."
Yun Tan's throat was hoarse and she was silent for a long time before she spoke: "Lu Wangshan, I never thought you would ask me to marry you, not now, and certainly not before."
Lu Wangshan suddenly laughed out loud, his expression full of self-mockery, but he stubbornly refused to look at her: "Then what do you think of our relationship five or six years ago?"
"Before I decided to go to Milan, I overheard a phone call between you and your mother. She wanted you to meet the daughter of a family friend of yours."
In Yun Tan's eyes, although that relationship was strong enough, so strong that no matter how many men she met later, she could not offset what Lu Wangshan brought her, it was also casual and would not have any results.
After that phone call, Yun Tan naturally felt that Lu Wangshan was old enough to consider marriage.
However, Lu Wangshan had no memory of this story.
In fact, Xiang Yin had mentioned it several times, but he always refused. Moreover—
"The reason I didn't tell my mom that I had a girlfriend was because you didn't want others to know about our relationship."
Lu Wangshan said calmly, "I always feel that there is still a lot of time, and marriage is not a must in life. We can slowly date, at least wait until you finish college before considering marriage."
Yuntan felt that she was losing ground in this relationship, and she had nothing to say except sorry.
But Lu Wangshan's forgiveness is always too light.
Six years of time and deception, he picked it up heavily and then put it down gently.
Just like he asked her now: "So, I ask you again now, will you marry me? In your life."
"I can't harm you anymore, Lu Wangshan."
Yun Tan lowered his head and said, "You can't imagine what kind of person Yuan Qinrong is. She will definitely make Yuan Hongren stick to you like a dog-skin plaster, and you won't be able to get rid of him."
Even Lu Wangshan is easier to deal with than Yun Tan.
He has a pair of kind and righteous parents, not to mention that he represents the image of the entire Lu Group. If he wants to ignore Yuan Hongren, Yuan Qinrong has the means to kidnap him using social morality and public opinion.
"I won't be used by Yuan Qinrong. If you want to get rid of Yuan Qinrong's control, you can use me."
Yun Tan's heart was shaken violently. Lu Wangshan wanted to say something but was interrupted by her.
"Lu Wangshan, there are still so many things between us that haven't been resolved. Don't you think getting married like this is like closing your eyes and ears, or trying to cover your ears and steal a bell? Maybe five years is too long, and you've forgotten that I didn't just break up with you back then. I deceived you."
"I've been lying to you since a long time ago so I could study abroad. The tuition fees for those years abroad were paid for by the jewelry and bags you gave me. I left without saying goodbye, acknowledging that you misunderstood my relationship with Ding Mian and that it hurt you. Have you forgotten all this?"
"The only person in this world I feel sorry for is you."
Yun Tan tilted her head and looked at his profile seriously. "It's been so long since I came back, and I don't think I've ever told you seriously that I'm sorry, Lu Wangshan, for everything. No matter what, I can't use you anymore."
This was probably the first time in such a long time that Yuntan had spoken so much to him.
I've said all the logical and logical things, and it seems I really shouldn't persist any further.
Lu Wangshan remained silent until he sent Yun Tan downstairs of the community.
"Goodbye, Lu Wangshan."
Yun Tan thought that this might be the last time they would meet.
But when she was about to enter the building, Lu Wangshan stopped her.
"Yuntan."
She looked back.
Seeing Lu Wangshan’s red eyes.
"I don't care if you continue to use me."
“…”
"Anyway, the happiest moment for me in these years was when you used me," said Lu Wangshan.
