Shortly after Yan Qing left, Huo Beiting was supposed to go to the company to check on the situation, but because of Yan Qing's appearance in the morning, he was in no mood at all.
After walking around the villa several times, he finally decided to call Cheng Zijue and ask him to come out for a drink to cheer him up.
When Cheng Zijue arrived at the agreed place, Huo Beiting was already sitting at the bar and had drunk countless glasses of wine. There were some empty glasses on the bar and the bartender was clearing them away. It was unknown how many had been cleared away.
If this scene happened to Huo Beiting's assistant, he would rush out to dissuade Huo Beiting in the next second.
But for Cheng Zijue, it just became a show.
Cheng Zijue's facial expression has changed twice since he entered the door. At first, he was surprised, but then he became secretly happy.
Cheng Zijue clicked his tongue twice, walked over to sit next to Huo Beiting, called the bartender and casually ordered a glass of wine, then leaned his head on his hand and looked at Huo Beiting.
"You look so miserable now, not like yourself at all. Come on, let me guess, what happened?"
The smile in Cheng Zijue's eyes was about to turn into reality. Huo Beiting looked at him coldly, and that cold gaze was like a cold arrow whizzing past, making Cheng Zijue shut up successfully.
It didn't take long before Cheng Zijue couldn't hold it in any longer. He was never a person who could sit still. Either his mouth was busy or his movements were busy. Of course, except when he was sleeping, this could be said to be his quietest moment.
"You asked me to come over and drink with you, but you just did it for free! You didn't even let me say a word."
Huo Beiting glanced over with a faint look, and opened his thin lips slightly as if wanting to say something, but finally closed them again under Cheng Zijue's expectant gaze.
"Hey, did you have some conflict with your sister-in-law? Otherwise, why are you like this?"
Huo Beiting paused in drinking, but in just one second he raised the glass and continued drinking. This time, his speed was even faster. It could not be considered as drinking, but rather pouring.
"Oh, look at you, it seems I was right. What happened between you and your sister-in-law? Tell me, then I can help you with some advice. You are like this, there is nothing I can do even if I want to help you!"
Cheng Zijue forgot about Huo Beiting's slight mysophobia and directly put his hand on Huo Beiting's shoulder. The two of them leaned forward like brothers, looking curious.
Cheng Zijue was not the only one gossiping. The bartender who had been mixing drinks for Huo Beiting had roughly guessed what was going on after seeing Huo Beiting's expression, and was also gossiping secretly.
Huo Beiting felt a burning gaze in front of his left, and then a cold gaze shot over.
The bartender also felt guilty, smacked his lips twice and walked away.
"Hey, hey, that person is gone, and we're the only two left around here, so is there anything we can't talk about? You didn't really ask me to come over just to drink, did you?!"
The curiosity in Cheng Zijue's heart was like the scratching of a cat's claws, very prickly, but Huo Beiting refused to give him a good response.
Huo Beiting put down the wine glass, narrowed his eyes slightly, looked ahead vaguely, and slowly spoke with his thin lips, recounting what he had confessed from that night to today.
He omitted many details about that night and focused on Yan Qing's attitude.
When Huo Beiting spoke, his voice was buzzing, like the sound of a mosquito. If Cheng Zijue had not been close to him, he would not have been able to hear what he said.
"This is the first time I've seen you like this. Ever since you started dating my sister-in-law, you've really refreshed my understanding of you."
Cheng Zijue originally wanted to say a few more words, but when he saw Huo Beiting's face getting darker and darker, he finally closed his mouth silently.
"So what do you mean?"
"What do I mean? I want to ask what she means."
Huo Beiting remembered that it was Yan Qing who took him home first, saying that she would "support" him in the future, but now that the two of them were just a little bit closer, she backed off.
Thinking of this, Huo Beiting sighed, picked up the wine in front of him and drank it.
"Brother Huo, you have to know that women's hearts are like needles in the sea. You will never know what they are thinking."
Huo Beiting nodded in agreement. He completely agreed with what Cheng Zijue said.
"So after all this talk, do you have any good ideas?"
Cheng Zijue was suddenly stuck, hesitating for a long time without saying a word, and finally squeezed out these words from his throat, "So, Brother Huo, what do you want in your heart? Do you want an answer from your sister-in-law, or do you want her love?"
Huo Beiting looked at the wine glass in front of him and looked across through the scarlet wine.
"The purpose of wanting feelings and wanting to know the answer is to want feelings. What's the point of wanting the answer?"
Cheng Zijue was speechless, but when he thought about it carefully, he realized that what Huo Beiting said was right.
So he patted Huo Beiting's shoulder heavily and said, "Then leave it to me. I don't know what my sister-in-law thinks, but I do have some answers on how to win a woman's affection."
Cheng Zijue spoke like a seasoned emotional expert, but in fact he forgot that he had never found a partner.
Huo Beiting was also fooled by Cheng Zijue. Looking at his expression, he thought he was so powerful. He also forgot that Cheng Zijue had never had a girlfriend from the beginning to the end, so how could he talk about feelings?
"How do you say that?"
Huo Beiting moved closer to Cheng Zijue, put down the wine glass in his hand and looked anxious.
Cheng Zijue coughed twice and spoke slowly.
"Actually, women are pretty easy to understand. It's all about care and love. You've done a great job on that front, but there's still a little more to come..."
Cheng Zijue paused as he spoke, as if he was deliberately keeping the other person in suspense. He continued only after seeing Huo Beiting's anxious look.
"You're still missing a gift. Women are emotional and materialistic. Don't be offended by this. I don't mean materialistic, but sometimes women need to feel a man's care and love through material things. However, you haven't done this well. When have you ever bought anything for your sister-in-law? You care about her often, but you've never bought her a gift. There's never been anything particularly romantic, right?"
After hearing what Cheng Zijue said, Huo Beiting thought back to the time he had been with Yan Qing. It seemed that he really had not given her any gifts or any romantic experiences.
Huo Beiting nodded and motioned Cheng Zijue to continue.
Afterwards, Cheng Zijue said a lot more, and it sounded very reasonable.
Huo Beiting, who knew nothing, also followed suit.
Cheng Zijue felt particularly accomplished, and his voice became louder and louder, so loud that the bartender next to him could hear him clearly.
The bartender shook his head, smiled helplessly, said nothing, and silently mixed his drinks.
