288 Its not you (1/2)

Jin Yue had just come back from the office where he had been working himself off in order to stop thinking about her, he had finished taking a shower and was about to go to bed when Liling's call came in.

''Which bar? ''

''Zi Ying Bar ''

''Okay, I'll be there in a minute. ''

Jin Yue disconnected the call and immediately changed into a casual wear, picking up his phone, he left the house.

He never thought that he would be able to come close to her again, after that night he thought that it was indeed over for the both of them, who would have thought that luck would shine on him again.

When Jin Yue arrived, he called Liling and she showed him to where Xin Yong was lying sprawled out on the table.

As he approached the table, his heart beat rapidly against his chest. There were about three empty bottles of wine on the table and a cup of glass still filled.

''Did she drink all of that? ''

He turned to ask Liling, his brows creased worriedly.

''Yeah, she was really sad; she wanted something to take her mind off… off you. ''

Jin Yue shook slightly as the thought that she was in that situation because of him drifted into his mind. He immediately turned to stare at the figure on the chair.

If she came here to drink because of him, she still loved him, right?

Why then did she end things with him?

''She said she couldn't go back to you, because she was afraid of getting hurt, again.''

Liling answered immediately as though she had read his mind.

Jin Yue's head fell slowly as his heart clenched bitterly.

How much damage has he done to her?

After being quiet for a while, he summoned courage and walked towards the table;

Bending down a little and placing one hand under her legs and the other on her around her waists, he lifted her up bridal style;

He walked in front while Liling picked their bags and phones, and settled the bill, before following behind.

As Jin Yue stepped outside, the cold breeze hit their skin and Xin Yong shivered.

''Mm…cold…''

She murmured, wrapping her hands around his neck and snuggling deeper into his chest. Jin Yue froze instantly, his feet stopped moving.

He cautiously moved his gaze to stare at her face; her eyes were still closed and she looked very calm.
