At the end of their dance, the man who just arrived went to greet s.h.i.+ Fen and Mu Xijiu. "Congratulations, Mr. s.h.i.+."
s.h.i.+ Fen smiled as he saw the man who arrived, "I am glad that you were able to come, Mr. Lu."
"Although I won"t be staying long here since I have a flight to catch." Lu Yifeng said with his usual poker face.
"I"m happy that you were still able to come despite the busy schedule you have. Anyway, meet my wife, Mu Xijiu." s.h.i.+ Fen said proudly.
"It is nice to finally meet you, Mrs. s.h.i.+."
"Likewise." My Xijiu said with a smile. She knew who Lu Yifeng was and she was surprised that a business tyc.o.o.n like Lu Yifeng was actually a friend of s.h.i.+ Fen.
Meanwhile, Li Bingbing sat on a bench near the garden"s fountain and started drinking her wine there.
She was happy but at the same time, she couldn"t help but feel depressed whenever her mind would suddenly think of Xia Sinian. She was forcing herself to smile all this time and when she was on the verge of breaking down, she would go to a secluded place to drink and let it out.
When Xia Meilin saw Li Bingbing this way, she felt sorry for her best friend. Li Bingbing was like a sister to her and seeing her this way made her heart ache.
She went and sat beside her, "You should have invited me for a drink."
Li Bingbing laughed lightly, "You easily get drunk you know."
"So what?" Xia Meilin huffed. She grabbed the bottle of wine from her and drink half of it in one go.
"Hey! That"s mine!" Li Bingbing grabbed the bottle back, making a few drops of the red wine drop on Xia Meilin"s pink dress.
Xia Meilin frowned not because her dress was ruined but because of the bitter taste of the wine. The alcohol was content was high and since Xia Meilin had a low alcohol tolerance, she felt her body burn.
"Bingbing, you"re unfair you know." Xia Meilin said with a pout, her cheeks burning red.
"Are you already drunk?"
"You would always keep things to yourself... You don"t have to act strong in front of me you know." Xia Meilin hugged Li Bingbing from the side. "I am angry at ge ge for hurting you, I even tried to contact him but whenever he heard your name, he would always end the call. I really wanted to help you... but I don"t know how. There are times where I am afraid that you"ll stop becoming my friend since I am Sinian-ge"s sister so I tried my best to keep in touch with you. I try my best to not to mention ge ge every time we"re together since I am afraid that I might ruin your mood."
Li Bingbing was taken aback by what she said, she didn"t know that Xia Meilin was feeling this way.
Xia Meilin"s eyes became misty as she looked at Li Bingbing, "I"m sorry for not being able to be useful to you."
Li Bingbing rolled her eyes, "I am not a high maintenance friend you know. We"re still going to be friends even if we didn"t talk for a hundred years."
"A hundred of years is too much..."
Li Bingbing couldn"t help but chuckle as she patted her here, "You"re such a crybaby."
"I"m not a crybaby!"
"Yes, you are."
"I"m not!"
Li Bingbing pinched Xia Meilin"s cheek lightly, "You shouldn"t worry about trivial matters such as those. That kind of thought didn"t even come across my mind."
Xia Meilin burst out in tears when she heard Li Bingbing"s words, "But I"m useless! I should be helping you out but I-"
Li Bingbing cut her off by flicking her forehead hard, "You"re drunk."
"Ouch! Why did you do that?!" Xia Meilin rubbed her forehead with her hand as her tears continued to flow down her cheeks.
"I already told you that things like that don"t matter. Besides, your mere presence already comforts me." Li Bingbing said with a soft smile.
She sniffed as she looked at Li Bingbing, "R-Really? But you would rarely tell me about your worries."
"It"s not like I want to keep my worries and sadness from you..." Li Bingbing raised her head and stared at the starry sky. "I decided to wait for Sisi... I refuse to believe that he stopped loving me, he must have another reason on why he decided to break up with me."
"Bingbing..."
