Chapter 132 - Failed Relationsh.i.p.s (1/2)

Donning a well-tailored, handmade suit, his tall stature exuded an extraordinary elegance. The light of the chandelier reflected on his short but sleek hair and lingered making a halo that Xiu always found around him. His gray eyes were picturesque. His temperament was mellow and yet dreamy.

The moment he entered the hall, everyone's attention was spontaneously attracted to him and the one beside him. As Darren heard some gasps around, he made a U-turn to leave but Dylan held him back saying, ”Don't even think about it.”

Darren glanced at his best friend who was clad in a dark brown tuxedo. He was tall and elegant. His well-defined features and porcelain skin shone under the bright lights, exuding a luxurious elegance.

Darren sighed in defeat and walked inside with Dylan. ”Remind me why am I wearing this clean-cut suit?”

Dylan smiled politely at the people around him and greeted them as he said, ”Because we are attending a wedding.”

”It's not my wedding. Why am I dressed up for it then?”

Dylan tapped his arm with a forced smile and said, ”It's not your wedding but who knows we might find a potential partner for you here? Besides, don't you know that weddings are the best matchmaking sights.”

Darren pushed Dylan's hand off of his shoulder, ”Keep dreaming. I have a girlfriend.”

Dylan scowled at him and said, ”Yes, a casual girlfriend who is not even here.”

Darren was about to punch Dylan when they saw a man in white tux coming their way. ”Hey, Dylan! I'm so glad you could make it.” The man's eyes shifted to Darren and he went on, ”It's an honor to see your face in a gathering, Darren.”

”Congratulations on your wedding, Huang Ming,” Darren sounded extremely polite but distant as well. As if he was talking to a complete stranger. Although Huang Ming couldn't be considered a friend to Darren, he was still once Darren's acquaintance.

”Thanks, Darren. And thank you very much for coming,” Huang Ming could feel Darren's distant coldness and he decided to not bother them anymore. ”Okay, you guys enjoy yourselves. I have to greet some guests.”

Dylan passed a glass of champagne to Darren and said, ”Why didn't you bring your girlfriend?”

”I didn't even want to come myself,” replied Darren matter-of-factly before continuing, ”Besides, she had somewhere to go with Nora.”

”Nora?” Dylan raised his brows in question.

”Nora Cartwright. Sweets best friend.” Darren explained in a bored tone while turning his back towards the people since he was really uncomfortable being under the scrutiny of all those people.

”Nora Cartwright?” Dylan mumbled to himself and frowned. ”Why does this name sound so familiar?” He chugged down his champagne and suddenly had a look of epiphany as he said, ”Aye, she's Jing Ge's daughter, right?”
