"What's wrong? You look so worried." Li Yang asked curiously, gently stirring the straw in her drink cup with her fingers. It had been so long since she had seen her best friend like this. It was so new.
"Alas, what else can it be? It's still that guy Lu Shiyan." Wen Ning supported his chin and said melancholy.
"Why, was your confession rejected?" Li Yang raised an eyebrow.
"I guess so." Wen Ning nodded with a pale face.
"Oh, no, you really confessed? You were so fast, weren't you?" Li Yang had only asked casually, but she hadn't expected her to actually confess. Her curiosity was instantly piqued, and she immediately pushed the drink aside on the table, staring intently at Wen Ning and asking, "How did he reject you?"
Wen Ning raised his eyelids slightly, looked at her, and said unhappily, "Hey, Li Yang, why do I feel like you're gloating a little?"
"Congratulations, you guessed right. I didn't expect that I would see the little princess of the Wen family frustrated in love in this life." Li Yang said without any politeness. She thought that her best friend would have a smooth life, but look, she is still a little disappointed in love. She has balanced herself and let her tease herself all the time. Now the situation has changed.
"Don't bother." Wen Ning didn't bother to argue with her; he was furious. She propped her chin up, feeling almost dead with frustration.
"It's just a love relationship, not that serious. If he doesn't like it, let's move on to someone else." Li Yang advised. It seemed like the first time she saw her liking someone so seriously. She had never seen her interested in any man before.
"Yeah, it's just love, but I haven't even gotten it yet." Wen Ning felt a little discouraged when she spoke of this. She couldn't understand why he still didn't like her? Wasn't her pursuit obvious? Wasn't she serious about it?
Li Yang chuckled, "Don't you think about it? Who in Jinghua has ever been able to get Mr. Lu? Aside from his fiancée, who took advantage of the family and got close to him, I don't think I've ever heard of him having an affair with anyone else."
"That's all he has. If he were like the others, surrounded by butterflies, I wouldn't even look down on him."
"Then why are you in such a hurry? It would take years to pursue a man like this. You have only been pursuing him for a few days." Li Yang said seriously.
"How many years? How many years have I been pursuing him? Am I overthinking it? At most one year. If he still doesn't agree, he can go wherever he wants. I don't play the game of unrequited love or tragic love." Wen Ning was a little furious when she heard her say that. If she really wanted to pursue him for several years, she should just give up.
"Tsk, if he had agreed on the first day you pursued him, then you would be worried. He was probably just playing with you. The fact that he didn't agree now proves that he is still somewhat reliable. If you can win him over, he will have to listen to you in the future, right?" Li Yang said with a smile.
"What you said makes sense." Wen Ning nodded in agreement.
The two of them just sat there biting on straws. Wen Ning was relieved and felt much better instantly. Her emotions came and went quickly. She had always been free and easy, so she didn't want to be trapped in this sad mood all day long. Life was short, and the key was to enjoy it while you can.
"By the way, how are you? I just saw someone named Mo." Wen Ning suddenly remembered that she had just seen her ex-fiancé in the restaurant.
"Oh." Li Yang responded, her face expressionless, as if she had just heard an insignificant piece of news. She had never felt anything for him in the first place, and the engagement to him was just because the two families thought it was a good match. She also thought it was okay, but there was no real affection, and she had no extramarital affairs with him. With something like this happening, of course she would cut the Gordian knot. Before, she had thought that the engagement was dispensable, but after she broke off the engagement, she inexplicably felt that life seemed to have become much easier, and that she now had countless possibilities. Before, she was concerned about the feelings of the two families and couldn't let go when she wanted to have fun, but now, when she wanted to have fun, she didn't have to worry about whether others would find out, or how to explain it if they did. She was so happy now. If she had known this would be the outcome, she might have broken off the engagement sooner.
Seeing her so calm and composed, not pretending at all, Wen Ning felt relieved. She probably really didn't like the Mo guy. Otherwise, she would have been influenced by that scumbag long ago.
She carefully observed Li Yang's expression, trying to catch a trace of sadness or pain in her eyes, but found nothing. Li Yang's eyes were calm and firm, as if she had already made a clear break with the past.
Wen Ning thought about it, but couldn't help asking, "You really don't care? But..."
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Li Yang.
"Why should I care?" Li Yang asked, a hint of sarcasm in his tone. "Should I still be sad for someone who has no feelings and cheated on me? Ningning, you really don't understand me at all, do you? When did I become that kind of person?"
Wen Ning suddenly smiled. That was right. This was her good friend, this was Li Yang.
"You're right," Wen Ning nodded in agreement. "We should look forward and not dwell on the past. Besides, Mo Xiangnan is nothing. There are many people in Jinghua who are better than him."
Li Yang smiled slightly and agreed very much: "That's right, I like to hear what you say. The world is so big and there are so many people. If one is not good, then I can just try a few more. I don't believe that I am so unlucky that I will meet so many scumbags."
"Don't worry, there aren't that many scumbags in the world. If you're really unlucky and end up meeting one, then you might as well not get married. Just be yourself. After all, there are always new handsome guys in heaven and on earth. If one batch doesn't work out, there's always the next batch."
"Okay, Ningning, your awareness is quite good." Li Yang looked at her best friend teasingly.
"That's right, as women of the new era, we can be hard on anyone except ourselves. Life is just like that, from birth to death, we are all alone. What's so scary about that?"
"Huh? Don't do this to me!" She stretched out a finger, shook it vigorously, and said in a firm tone: "I'm not that pessimistic! But..." She changed the subject, her eyes became a little cunning, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly, "Let me tell you, two days ago, I saw a group of beauties coming to Tianshang Renjian in the group! That figure, those abdominal muscles, and those faces are simply amazing! How about it, do you want to find time to go and see it together?" After speaking, she raised her eyebrows and looked at the other party with a sly smile.
Wen Ning's eyes lit up, then immediately dimmed again. "You still dare to go? If my brother and your brother catch us, you and I will be finished."
Li Yang felt depressed after a while. She really didn't dare to do that. After all, these two brothers were both ruthless people.
