Chapter 843 Became Haggard
He sat down opposite Qi Xuan and carefully observed his expression. Recently, he had visibly lost a lot of weight and looked rather haggard.
In Fu Yanzun's memory, Qi Xuan had almost never been like this before. It seemed that the last time he looked so listless was when he divorced Xia Youxin.
But he felt that this time was even more exaggerated than the last.
"What happened to you? How come you've lost so much weight? Don't tell me you're deliberately dieting to lose weight."
Qi Xuan smiled nonchalantly, trying his best to maintain his former charming and wicked demeanor, but the smile wasn't genuine.
"You noticed that? I was deliberately trying to lose weight!"
"Don't give me that. Do you think I don't know what you're like? You've always been very satisfied with your figure. Now you're so thin you probably don't even have eight-pack abs anymore, right? You've been a bit too quiet lately. I'm not used to it."
Qi Xuan poured a glass of red wine and handed it to Fu Yanzun.
Fu Yanzun didn't drink, but kept staring at him, as if...
They seemed to be waiting for him to give an answer.
Qi Xuan felt a little uncomfortable being stared at like that, and said in a slightly joking tone, "Could you please stop staring at me like that? If someone sees us, we'll be on the front page of the news again tomorrow. You just got rid of the gay label a while ago, you don't want to be my CP again, do you?"
At this moment, Fu Yanzun was not in the mood for jokes. The more Fu Yanzun dodged the question in this way, the more it proved that his guess was correct.
"I want to hear the truth from you. Qi Xuan, we've known each other for over twenty years, and we've never had any secrets between us. If something has really happened to you, I don't want you to keep it to yourself."
"Some things feel better when I say them out loud. I'd even be willing to drink with you all night, but I don't want to see you like this. It's so unlike you."
Qi Xuan smiled bitterly, raised his wine glass, and drank the red liquid in one gulp.
"Do you think I want this? I don't want it either, but what can I do? Why can't I be with the person I love? Seeing you and Tang Wan'er every day..."
Do you know how much it hurts me when people show off their love?
"We're best friends, and Tang Wan'er and Xia Youxin are also besties. Why can you two be such a loving and sweet couple, while we two can only go our separate ways? Isn't that incredibly unfair?"
Fu Yanzun guessed correctly; the only person who could cause such a dramatic emotional fluctuation in Qi Xuan was probably Xia Youxin.
"Did you two fight again?"
Qi Xuan smiled bitterly, his eyes filled with An Sheng.
This expression might not seem like a big deal on someone else, but seeing it on a man who usually seems carefree and nonchalant makes one feel inexplicably uneasy.
"If it were just a simple argument, I could apologize and make up with her, and we could still be together. Unfortunately, things aren't that easy..."
"What's wrong with you two again? From what you're saying, you've rekindled your old flame, and then you got dumped again?"
"It's not that old feelings will rekindle, but after all the effort I've put in, I'm finally seeing a glimmer of hope."
