I let you go, but... can you let me go too?
Her words seemed to be on repeat, echoing endlessly in his ears, filled with an uncontrollable bitterness and...pleading...
It was as if a piece of his heart had been ripped out, leaving an emptiness that could never be filled, a feeling of drafts and a dull ache. Though not fatal, it tormented him for a long time, making him wish he were dead…
So he ultimately made a choice that he himself hadn't anticipated!
That's escapism!
Mo Yanyu felt like he was suffocating from the pressure on his chest, and could only... passively utter a sentence that even he himself hadn't expected.
"You guys have fun first, I have something to do, I'm going out to make a phone call."
Li Qian raised an eyebrow. At least on the surface, Mo Yanyu was very calm and composed, showing no different emotions. This really lived up to the saying that it was hard to tell whether someone was happy or angry. Xiao Si's brother was indeed a special forces soldier. His self-control was really good, and no one could see the slightest difference in him!
Mo Xiaoqing, with an innocent and guileless expression, tugged at the hem of her Crown Prince's robe. "Brother, didn't you say you weren't busy?"
Mo Yanyu naturally understood the spoiled and naughty nature of her own daughter. Just like now, although her voice was as soft and pleasant as ever, in reality... she was just trying to trick her!
He gave Mo Xiaoqing a faint look, which was actually a silent warning to her to behave herself.
His voice was very hoarse, "I forgot just now, I'll come back later."
Upon hearing his words, Ji Yao's eyelashes trembled slightly, but only for a moment before she immediately lowered her eyes, quickly concealing that instant loss of control.
Mo Yanyu would never know that it was his hasty escape that prompted Ji Yao to make a crucial decision!
With a couple of shakes in the doorway, Mo Yanyu's tall figure disappeared through the door.
After watching Mo Yanyu leave, Jiang Wenjing immediately felt that the air had become fresher, and the oppressive and heavy feeling from before was gone.
Therefore, she immediately became more active.
"Didn't we say we were going to drink until we dropped today? Come on, sisters, let's get this party started!"
Li Qian rolled her eyes at the ceiling, feeling utterly speechless at Jiang Wenjing's lack of ambition.
When Mo Yanyu was here, he was so well-behaved that he didn't dare to utter a sound. But now that she's gone, he immediately turned the tables and became the boss, speaking twice as loudly as before.
Tsk tsk tsk, if this were during the Republic of China era, he would definitely be a very talented person, but also the kind of particularly worthless "traitor"!
"Yaoyao, you've already drunk so much, why don't you sit here for a while?" Mo Xiaoqing pulled her arm and walked over to where she had been sitting without saying a word.
However, without even thinking, Ji Yao pulled her arm out of Mo Xiaoqing's grasp.
He declined calmly, saying, "I don't need it."
Her long eyelashes obscured the expression in her eyes, making it impossible for Mo Xiaoqing to discern Yao Yao's current mood.
But no matter what, she always felt guilty towards Yao Yao, because the person who had hurt her so much was her own brother, and Yao Yao was her best friend. Logically and emotionally, she couldn't help but feel guilty and heartbroken for Yao Yao…
"Yaoyao, if you want to drink, I can keep you company!"
Mo Xiaoqing rubbed her temples, and without thinking, shot a sharp glare at Jiang Wenjing, "Baby, can you please be quiet for a second?"
Li Qian sighed, feeling utterly speechless. The three of them had clearly witnessed the fierce battle between Yao Yao and Xiao Si's brother, yet this heartless person still offered to drink with her.
Is he really trying to get Yao Yao drunk?
It's not the god-like opponents you should fear, but the pig-like teammates!
"I didn't say anything wrong. We came out here to have a good drink, so why should we abandon our plans because of Xiao Si's brother?"
"!" Mo Xiaoqing's temples throbbed several times again; it was exactly what she feared.
If she could, she really wanted to find a rag and gag Wenjing.
Li Qian pulled her down like a restless flea, pressing her down into a seat without a word, forbidding her to move.
Yao Yao was already feeling bad enough, but she kept bringing up Xiao Si's brother. Wasn't that just rubbing salt into his wounds?
"I'm going to... the restroom." Ji Yao said this and left without giving them any time to react.
Jiang Wenjing was immediately dumbfounded by what she saw. Even she didn't believe Yao Yao's ridiculous excuse!
Apart from the door to the bar's private room, there was a long corridor outside, with the restroom at the end of the corridor on his right.
Mo Yanyu walked slowly and leisurely, as if strolling in her own backyard, looking relaxed and content.
A hint of anxiety flashed across Ji Yao's expression.
"Mo Yanyu, stop right there!"
Mo Yanyu paused, and for reasons unknown, she actually stopped.
Ji Yao's expression grew increasingly complicated. Just when she thought Mo Yanyu would sever all ties with her and never see her again, Mo Yanyu would always give her a glimmer of hope.
But no matter how much inner turmoil she was experiencing, she maintained a calm and composed demeanor on the surface.
If there were still some signs of something amiss on her face before, then these past few months of training have made her habitually never reveal a trace of her inner emotions in front of outsiders.
