Chapter 2160: She’s Out of Your League, Go Apologize (2)
He wasn’t eavesdropping on purpose; he just wanted to find an opportunity to talk to Xin Miao. Who knew he’d happen to witness her confessing to Ruan Jie.
When Ruan Jie rejected her, he actually felt quite happy. But seeing her unhappy now, he felt a bit heartache. The girl he thought of day and night, wishing he could hold on his heart’s edge, was suffering such grievance from someone else, yet he couldn’t do anything about it because... he couldn’t beat Ruan Jie!
Thinking about this person made Lu Zishu feel kind of frustrated. He wanted to say a few words to Ruan Lei, but as soon as he turned his head, he saw Ruan Lei staring unblinkingly in one direction. Following his gaze, Lu Zishu saw Yang Tao among the crowd.
His romantic life wasn’t smooth, and neither was his brother’s... Hmm, thinking of this, Lu Zishu suddenly felt much more balanced and began to stir up trouble with Ruan Jiaojiao again.
Ruan Jiaojiao, her face flushed, had just finished drinking the cross-cupped wine with Duan Xi, when Lu Zishu started mischief again, wanting the two to kiss.
Of course, this time, Ruan Jiaojiao didn’t need to protest. Her brothers suppressed it, saying that just drinking the cross-cupped wine was enough. Today was a good day, everyone should celebrate, but kissing was unacceptable. The protective brothers indicated that seeing such things made them want to fight, even if they couldn’t beat Duan Xi.
When Duan Xi was drinking, he slightly tilted his head, and his gaze from beneath his eyelids was fixed on Lu Xian.
As for Lu Xian, watching this lively scene, neither happy nor sad, his gaze was cold, as if he simply couldn’t blend into the atmosphere. If there was any emotional fluctuation, it was directed at the little boy beside him.
Previously, Duan Xi thought Lu Xian’s indifference to Ruan Jiaojiao was because he no longer had feelings for her. But now it seemed... things were far more complicated.
He seemed more like a machine devoid of any emotions or desires, emotionless and desireless.
Lu Xian was emotionless and desireless, but on the other side, Jiang Xun’s face looked extremely unpleasant. However, no one paid attention to him. When the commotion over here subsided, he went to the restroom to take a call. Upon returning, his gaze towards Ruan Jiaojiao involuntarily contained some resentment.
They were all adults, and there was no need for Ruan Jiaojiao to entertain them when they were having fun. Free at last, Ruan Jiaojiao pulled Yang Tao to sit beside Li Que and Liang Wenjing.
Sitting down, Ruan Jiaojiao instinctively glanced at the other booth where Ruan Lei and the others were. Seeing Ruan Lei not looking in their direction, her mood was quite complex, feeling like all parties involved in this relationship had moved on, but not her as an outsider.
The few girls had endless topics to talk about, and when they were chatting enthusiastically, the karaoke room door opened again, breaking the silence.
Ruan Jiaojiao’s group, seeking quiet, sat closer to the door, so when it opened, they immediately looked over.
Three girls came in, all dressed fashionably, pretty, and of similar age to them. The one standing in the middle was clearly more striking and attention-grabbing.
She wore a white wool coat on top and a plaid skirt below, with bare legs and shiny little leather shoes on her feet. Her long hair was styled with the latest popular perm, half tied, and the other half let down, looking both beautiful and fashionable.
Li Que got a clear look at the newcomer, surprised, and turned to Ruan Jiaojiao beside her, saying, "Little One, is this your relative? She looks quite a bit like you."
