Willowy eyebrows framed a pair of huge round eyes. Her high nose bridge complemented her oval face, and her cascading hair added the finis.h.i.+ng touch. She was a great beauty indeed.
At first glance, she actually bore a slight resemblance to Second Brother’s wife.
Is this a coincidence? It couldn’t be…
All these years, Luo Zhan could tell of Lu Yihan’s feelings for her. It had been so obvious. All he was looking for was probably a subst.i.tute.
When she saw that Luo Zhan wasn’t speaking, the colleague a.s.sumed that he had been struck dumb by the lady’s beauty. With a sigh, she said, “I have to admit that this woman is indeed very beautiful. At the same time, she’s very playful. One look and you can tell that she’s an alpha. That’s probably why Lu Yihan couldn’t take it anymore.”
Does that mean they have slept together?
A feeling of unease took root in Luo Zhan’s heart. He stared at the picture. Feigning nonchalance, he asked, “What was her character like?”
“Her character was pretty wild and spicy,” she said. “She’s totally my type. However, friends’ women are off limits. Otherwise, I would totally…”
Luo Zhan couldn’t listen to another word. He turned to return to the table.
“Hey! Alright, alright. I’ll stop playing a fool. Where are you running off to?” the colleague called out to Luo Zhan’s back.
The only thing in Luo Zhan’s mind was the woman’s face. That face did indeed resemble Su Qianci’s, but her character was wild and spicy. She wasn’t like Su Qianci at all.
Su Qianci’s character was warm and becoming. She was delicate and submissive to her husband.
Is the reason Lu Yihan broke up with his girlfriend? Is it because that lady’s character is fundamentally different from Su Qianci’s that Lu Yihan decided she wasn’t a worthy subst.i.tute and broke up with her… If that is the case, what accounted for Lu Yihan’s weight loss? Is it because he doesn’t have an appet.i.te? Or, is he suffering from some gastrointestinal problems?
Luo Zhan was lost in his thoughts. The next thing he knew, his back was facing the crowd. He gazed ahead at the lights, alcohol, sizzling hot women milling about, and young playboys. He suddenly felt as if he was lying to everyone.
This was how the world spun. Lu Yihan was a grown man. He had his own life and own choices to make. Even if he did sleep with that woman, what was it to anyone else?
In any case, it was impossible between them. Luo Zhan knew that well, but that thought still made his heart sink.
With a heavy sigh, he closed his eyes and muttered to himself, “Luo Zhan, Luo Zhan! Sober up! You’re a man!”
He opened his eyes and strode forward. In comparison to moments before, he was a lot more enthusiastic in his interactions. He drank one gla.s.s after another and even topped up others’ gla.s.ses for them. No matter what, he refused to look in Lu Yihan’s direction.
Lu Yihan did not drink a single drop the whole night. Luo Zhan knew that. Just when he was half-drunk, he looked at Lu Yihan. With the winegla.s.s in his hand, he said in ridicule, “Hey, Lu Yihan! Why are you starting to resemble a boy-toy? Why are you losing weight? You’re as skinny as a ghost; it’s so ugly! Do you even know that?”
Lu Yihan’s eyes were clear and sober. He stared into Luo Zhan’s beet-red face. Without a change in expression, he steadily said, “You’re drunk.”
Luo Zhan laughed when he heard that and proceeded to ignore him. He brought the winegla.s.s to his lips and began drinking anew.
Lu Yihan couldn’t watch any longer. He went forward, s.n.a.t.c.hed the gla.s.s out of Luo Zhan’s hands, and said, “Don’t you even know your own alcohol limits? If you continue drinking, you’ll end up in a heap by the road with no one to look out for you!”
“Hey, so that’s where you are! I’ve been looking for you for a long time!” A woman’s voice drifted over.
Luo Zhan looked over drunkenly. It was the lady from before. Her waist swayed as she walked over, and leaned herself on him.
“You called me over, but drank on your own,” she said. “How naughty!”
