Chapter 184 - Relieving Sorrows (1/2)
That bar was named “Rock it!”
A few scattered seats were over the corners, suitable for those coming for alcohol to ease their sorrows.
Speaking of that, it was Long Xi’s first time entering a bar.
Mo Kun had never brought her to such a complex place and was afraid that she would learn some bad behaviors. She thought it would be boring if she went to a bar alone and dared not get there behind Mo Kun, the man who was always jealous.
Because of that, she was particularly curious.
Various posters related to rock music were attached to the walls; a few of which were Long Xi’s favorite stars, like the rock singer Wong Ka Kui who had passed away years ago.
“Eh? Xixi!” Ai Meiqi, standing behind the bar, saw Long Xi there and happily greeted her.
Long Xi was also surprised to see her there.
“Haha, my boy, you told me you would invite a special guest here. It turned out to be Little Xi. Hum, it’s not a surprise!” Ai Meiqi said to Yan Wangchuan.
Her voice was still crisp and tender like a little girl’s. Her eyesight was still clear. It seemed as if her growing up was paused and did not know what it was to be mature.
In such terms, Yan Wangchuan’s temperament was totally different. It seemed that a super mature soul was inside his young body. His eyes could figure out all the sadness, joys, and changes in the world.
A sense of innate elegance was hidden in his maturity, adding a piece of incompatible sexy quality. The two kinds of different qualities were very strangely fused into him.
Yan Wangchuan took Long Xi to the bar and said seriously, “Mom, didn’t you ask me why I broke up with Lanlan? This is the answer.”
Long Xi had not expected that Ai Meiqi would be there and Yan Wangchuan would say something that ridiculous in front of his own mother. The atmosphere turned embarrassing. She wrested herself away from his arms.
Ai Meiqi swayed her hands and said seriously, “My boy, don’t talk nonsense. Little Xi has a lover!”
Yan Wangchuan said, “Haven’t you read the tabloids recently? Oh, I see. You’re busy dating with Uncle Lei and preparing for your wedding. So how can you have enough time to care about others?”
Ai Meiqi could not help blushing.
Long Xi’s attention was attracted by that explosive “news”. She asked with her eyes widely opening, “Aunt Meiqi, is that real?”
“Of course, it is true!” The speaking man was taking a cigar in his mouth. A slight sweet smell of tobacco came from the air. His long brown hair was divided into several dirty pigtails, evenly spaced with some red beads as decoration.
Ai Meiqi glanced at the man with shyness when wiping the wine glass. Her face blushed, saying to Long Xi, “It is because Chuanchuan did some personal advertising of his concert. This old naughty boy came to me.”
The man said with a smile, “I’m not the only one coming for you. Few males can resist your charm, alive or among the living dead. I tried so hard to defeat all the competitors and win your heart!”
Ai Meiqi gave him a shy look and said at a low voice, “You’re such an old but still licentious man!”
“Come on, Xiaolongnv, sit over there.” Yan Wangchuan had sat down and asked Long Xi to sit by his side.
Long Xi deliberately took a seat near Yan Wangchuan with a seat between them.
Yan Wangchuan was not angry, moving to seat right next to Long Xi calmly.
Long Xi had no mood to tangle with him and asked Ai Meiqi, “What are you doing at the bar?”
Ai Meiqi said with a smile, “I came to help him! Since Chuanchuan can earn money, he asked me to quit my job. I am so bored every day! This bar belongs to that old naughty boy and he is the bartender. His family name is Lei. You can call him brother Lei. He won’t accept it if you call him uncle Lei!”
Brother Lei was teasing Long Xi and said, “You can call me uncle Lei as Chuan! If you call me brother Lei, you should call her sister Qi. Or else we would be in different generations.”
Long Xi called him “uncle Lei” sweetly. Brother Lei answered with a smile.
Ai Meiqi accused Yan Wangchuan, “Why did you bring Little Xi over here? She had never gone to a bar before!”
Yan Wangchuan said, “She asked me where how she could relieve her pressure, so I brought her here. Mom, Mo Kun lost his memory and bought a villa to live with another woman. Yesterday night, he took Qiuzi to participate in the auction and bought her a jade pin of the Tang Dynasty. Today’s gossip news spoke of it.”
Ai Meiqi was stunned and asked Long Xi, “Really?”
Long Xi shook his head bitterly.
She also did not read the entertainment news and was not aware of that.
However, she believed that Yan Wangchuan would not lie to her on that issue.
Was he really going to get engaged with Qiuzi?
“It’s okay. He just has a new sweetheart. As an old saying goes, a chicken dies while another chicken is born! Good men are too many in this world! Everything will be fine after days go by!” Brother Lei had a cigar in his mouth, setting out his temperament of freedom and sexy charm.
Ai Meiqi shook the wine glass. After a while, she served a cup of wine to Yan Wangchuan and Long Xi respectively.
“This is my favorite.” Yan Wangchuan smiled and held up the cup of wine in front of him. That cup of blue wine was called the heart of ocean, which was extremely beautiful.
He opened his lips lightly and took a sip. The salt cream first covered his mouth. The faint salty taste was like the sense of tears, while the acid taste of lime seemed to be the mood of a mistress. Later, the special taste of whiskey was rich and mellow, allowing people to forget everything.
“The cocktail is named after the tears of the heart of the ocean. Mom, you always understand my demons.” Yan Wangchuan said to his mother or murmured to himself.
