That night, at Only Bar.
Qin Beiming leaned back somewhat dejectedly on the sofa in the private room, his well-defined hands gently holding a wine glass, bringing it to his lips one after another.
The soft light fell into the wine glasses, causing ripples of intoxication to occasionally appear in the dimly lit private room.
Lu Jinjiu looked at Qin Beiming and Huo Yunting, who had been holed up in the private room drinking alone for several nights in a row, with a headache, and couldn't help but offer some advice:
"You two are both injured and just recovered from a serious illness, so why don't you take a break? It's not good to keep drinking like this."
Qin Beiming chuckled self-deprecatingly:
"He won't die for now."
Huo Yunting nodded in agreement:
"It's just a little drinking, what could possibly happen? Right now, I can only get by by numbing myself with alcohol. Once I sober up, all that awaits me is double the suffering."
"I really don't understand you guys. Why do you have to become some kind of Casanova?! Isn't it better to just enjoy the pleasure in front of you?"
Lu Jinjiu shook his head helplessly, unsure of what to do with the two of them.
Seeing this, Gu Nanfeng directly called Gu Tingbai, got Ling Mo's WeChat, and then secretly sent Ling Mo a message:
【Miss Ling, do you have time now? Third Brother is drinking alone in Only's VIP room number one. If you have time, could you come and talk to him? He's still injured, and I'm afraid he'll have problems if he keeps drinking like this.】
Ling Mo was just about to go to sleep when he received a message from Gu Nanfeng. He immediately sat up straight, instinctively wanting to rush to Only Bar.
But when she thought about Qin Beiming's indifferent attitude towards her all this time, she began to have second thoughts.
She is slow to warm up to people and not good at expressing herself.
If she senses that others are becoming distant from her, she will most likely sever all ties with that person as quickly as possible.
"He's such a grown-up, he should be able to take care of himself, right?" Ling Mo muttered to himself, then snapped the bedside lamp off, forcing himself not to think about him anymore.
However, the moment she closed her eyes, the image of Qin Beiming rushing towards her, disregarding his own safety, and shielding her from the arrow flashed through her mind...
Recalling the moments she shared with Qin Beiming, Ling Mo's heart, which had seemed frozen, began to flutter.
After much deliberation, she finally mustered her courage, jumped out of bed, grabbed the new medicine she had been concocting in the past few days, and hurriedly left the house.
...
Half an hour later, when Ling Mo rushed to Only Bar, he was surprised to find a sexy woman sitting squarely on Qin Beiming's lap.
For a moment, her heart skipped a beat; she simply couldn't believe that Qin Beiming would resort to the same old tricks that Lu Jinjiu had already used.
She had thought Qin Beiming was avoiding her because he had some unspeakable difficulties, but now it seemed that he simply didn't want to talk to her and was deliberately ignoring her messages.
Qin Beiming, who was leaning back on the sofa, was about to throw Lu Ruoyu, who had inexplicably snuggled up to him, aside when he inadvertently met Ling Mo's bright, captivating eyes. He was stunned and stood there on the sofa for a long time, unable to come to his senses.
He seemed to have completely forgotten that Lu Ruoyu was still sitting on his lap, and stared fixedly at Ling Mo, who stood in the light and shadow and was even more dazzling than the light itself.
"Third sister-in-law?!"
In the end, Lu Jinjiu was the first to react.
Seeing Ling Mo rush in so fiercely, he was startled and hurriedly dragged Lu Ruoyu, who was clinging to Qin Beiming like an octopus, aside, and warned her in a low voice:
"Are you crazy? Didn't I tell you that Third Brother has his own heart? Are you so careless and waiting to be beaten?"
"Bullshit about having someone else in your heart! Third Brother can only be mine."
Lu Ruoyu pouted and impatiently broke free from Lu Jinjiu's grasp. She was about to continue to entangle Qin Beiming when she was frightened by a sharp look from Qin Beiming and dared not make any further moves.
Gu Nanfeng sensed something was terribly wrong and rushed to Ling Mo's side, lowering his voice to explain:
“Miss Ling, please don’t misunderstand. Before you arrived, Third Brother was really just drinking alone. The woman who was sitting on Third Brother’s lap just now is actually Xiao Jiu’s cousin. Third Brother only treats her as a younger sister.”
"Okay, I understand."
Ling Mo, who was about to turn around and leave, heard Gu Nanfeng's words and, despite feeling somewhat uneasy, mustered up her courage and sat down opposite Qin Beiming.
"Brother, who is this woman?"
Lu Ruoyu carefully examined Ling Mo, whose face was serene and whose temperament was aloof and extraordinary, and alarm bells rang in her heart.
"Are you an idiot? Can't you see that? She's Third Brother's sweetheart."
Lu Jinjiu was afraid that Lu Ruoyu would disturb Qin Beiming and Ling Mo. As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled and dragged Lu Ruoyu out of the private room.
Seeing this, Gu Nanfeng and Huo Yunting tactfully followed them out.
Once only Qin Beiming and Ling Mo were sitting facing each other in the private room, Ling Mo spoke calmly:
"Don't drink anymore."
Qin Beiming paused slightly in his hand holding the glass, and obediently placed the glass on the table.
After a long silence, he suddenly met Ling Mo's gaze and asked, puzzled:
What brings you here?
He originally thought that Ling Mo, being as proud as he was, would never take the initiative to contact him again after noticing his distance.
Unexpectedly, she took such a proactive step towards him.
"Gu Nanfeng told me that you've been drinking heavily these past few days, and I was worried, so I came to check on you. Also, I wanted to ask you in person why you've suddenly become like a different person, not answering your calls or replying to your messages?"
The reason I didn't reply to your message is simply because I didn't want to.
Qin Beiming looked away, no longer daring to look directly at her.
He was afraid that if he looked at her for even a second, he would fall completely into her gaze.
"The words 'I don't want to reply' are really hurtful."
Ling Mo slowly lowered his eyes and murmured softly, appearing somewhat sad.
