Chapter 155 - Heartbroken (2/2)

”The last thing people should do is show off their own worth.” he said.

Jiang Ruolan was confused by his words. She looked at his unfathomable expression and asked, ”Can I say that I don't understand?”

Qin Gengxin glanced at her. ”I don't intend for you to understand.”

Jiang Ruolan was speechless and glared at him. ”Are you trying to keep me in suspense?”

Qin Gengxin laughed and explained in a soft voice, ”There is no suspense, it is just a matter of the past. There is no need to say too much. No matter what happens to others, it's enough for you to be Jiang Ruolan.”

Qin Gengxin had always been a sloppy person. Jiang Ruolan knew that his personality was just a facade, but he had seen many things more clearly than anyone else. Although he did not know about her relationship with Xian Zihao, no matter how well he treated her, it would always be over the top.

Jiang Ruolan could faintly sense the hidden meaning behind his words, but seeing how drunk he was, she raised her hand and slapped his face.

What a satisfying feeling.

Jiang Ruolan glared at Qin Gengxin in disgust. ”You are reeking of alcohol and are still pretending to be profound with me.”

Qin Gengxin chuckled softly. ”Stop talking. I've long since woken up from my drunken stupor. I could tell that you were concerned about me when you were blabbering with me, so I didn't complain. Aren't I someone thick-skinned?”

Jiang Ruolan rolled her eyes. She leaned against the window and stopped talking, but her eyes were lowered, and she was full of thoughts. Her phone remained silent and there was no message from Xian Zihao. Her heart was like the night sky. The color of the neon light seemed bright, but in reality, it was biting cold.

”Can you still drink?” Jiang Ruolan did not stop the passing by taxi, even though the car was empty. She just stared at the neon lights on the side of the road silently. Her voice was a little hollow.

Qin Gengxin rubbed his forehead. Hearing her words, he immediately let go of her hand. Jiang Ruolan looked at him hesitantly with a smile that did not reach the depths of her heart.

Qin Gengxin frowned. ”Jiang Ruolan, are you heartbroken?”

”Tch …” Jiang Ruolan lowered her head and laughed for a long time before looking at the man who was emitting a strong odor of alcohol, ”Being happy alone is not as good as people say, and getting drunk alone is not as good as drinking together. Do you want to accompany me to drink a few glasses?”

Qin Gengxin put his hand on the steering wheel and tilted his head to show his disapproving expression. Ever since their reunion, Jiang Ruolan had never taken the initiative to look for him, nor had she ever approached him. Every time she saw him, she would avoid him out of fear, but she would always be pressured or coerced by him, causing her to occasionally interact with him.

Qin Gengxin initially thought that he would have to take a long road to seduce her, but he didn't expect that she would take the initiative to look for him to drink wine.

”Today …” Qin Gengxin narrowed his hazy, slightly drunken eyes and looked at the unreadable emotions in her eyes. He paused for a moment but didn't ask any further questions. He nodded. ”Get in the car. I'll accompany you.”

The reason why Jiang Ruolan looked for Qin Gengxin was that he was the only one who was familiar with her. In this city, only he knew her the best.

Jiang Ruolan was currently feeling depressed, and she was afraid that she would meet someone weird if she went to drink alone. Thankfully, Qin Gengxin didn't ask further questions and agreed without any conditions. She opened the car door and got in, and without caring whether he was drunk or not, she pointed straight ahead, ”I remember there's a good bar ahead, it's not as chaotic as a whole street. Let's go there.”

Qin Gengxin tilted his head to the side and glanced at her face. Without saying anything further, he started the engine and drove towards the bar Jiang Ruolan was talking about.
