"Fengyue, thank you!”

Liang Fengyue responded with no facial expression. It was obvious that she was not in a good mood. Finally, the food came to the table. Liang Fengyue hastened to beckon them to eat, and this displeasure was over for now.

Jiang Xiyun couldn't bear to see Liang Fengyue like this, but he had no place to say anything in the middle of it. He could only keep laughing and saying pleasantries.

During dinner, Sheng Yeting went to the bathroom, and Liang Fengyue's self-imposed facial expression collapsed.

After making sure Sheng Yeting couldn't hear her, Liang Fengyue complained: "Xiyun, what did I do wrong? Why did Yeting do this to me?"

"We grew up together. You should know Sheng Yeting, he is always like that. Don't think too much of it, it has nothing to do with you."

Jiang Xiyun comforted her but sounded unsure.

His words made Liang Fengyue's expression softened. But still, she couldn't hide her frustration: "Of course I know what kind of person he is, but I feel like his heart is so cold, I can't warm it up."

Suddenly thinking of one thing, Liang Fengyue couldn't help but ask: "Perhaps, after all these years, Yeting still can't forget about that thing?"

Jiang Xiyun was stunned a little, for a moment, he was not sure what to say. That thing, Sheng Yeting never mentioned it again, could he really forget about it?

Thinking of this, Jiang Xiyun could not help but sigh: "Who knows. We can never know what he is thinking."

Liang Fengyue had a bitter face. Although she knew Jiang Xiyun couldn't give her an answer, still, she asked: "Xiyun, do you think Yeting will ever like me?"

At that moment, Jiang Xiyunsuddenly became agitated. He took a sip of his wine and sighed: "I don't know."

Seeing the more and more depressed expression on Liang Fengyue's face, Jiang Xiyun wanted to console her, but at last, he said nothing. He stood up and made up an excuse: "I have to go to the bathroom." Then he left.

In fact, Jiang Xiyun did not know himself what he was running away from. He washed his face in the bathroom to sober himself up a bit. When he came out, he saw Sheng Yeting smoking outside.

"Bro, why are you here? Why don't you come in?"

Jiang Xiyun smiled, knowing that Sheng Yeting was hiding from Liang Fengyue.

Sheng Yeting responded lightly and said nothing. The way he gently spitting out the smoke was so charming.

Jiang Xiyun admired Sheng Yeting's charm secretly, but still, he felt sorry for Liang Fengyue. Jiang Xiyun tried to persuade Sheng Yeting: "Bro, can you not be so cold to Fengyue, you know her feelings, weren’t you?"

"Isn't it too cruel to do that?" Sheng Yeting said immediately.

Liang Fengyue was good to Sheng Yeting, everyone could see it. Sheng Yeting knew it too.

Taking the last puff of smoke, Sheng Yeting suddenly chuckled and looked at Jiang Xiyun meaningfully: "Xiyun, if I don’t do this to her, how could you ever have a chance?"

Seeing that Jiang Xiyun’s facial expression immediately changed, Sheng Yeting could not help but sympathize, he continued to say: "Or do you want me to be warm to her? I cannot give her what she wants, so why give her hopes again and again? Don't you think it's crueler?"

The warm orange light hit on Sheng Yeting's perfect profile. And for a moment, Jiang Xiyun suddenly realized that this had never happened to him before, not knowing Sheng Yeting like now.

Jiang Xiyun took a long sigh and understood that what Sheng Yeting said was right. Jiang Xiyun could not refute but change the subject and asked: "So you will continue to hurt her like that? And what was the true purpose of you marrying Xia Xingcheng? To make Liang Fengyue give up?"

Only until now, Jiang Xiyun found out that he really didn't understand Sheng Yeting at all.

Sheng Yeting gave him a cold look and said noncommittally, "It's my business. You should take the time to mind your own. You'd better to figure out how to please Fengyue."

In the end, Sheng Yeting didn't elaborate. He said goodbye to Jiang Xiyun and left. As if pertains to Xia Xingcheng, he didn't know how to elaborate.

However, Jiang Xiyun didn't think so at all. Because he could clearly sense the momentary tenderness in Sheng Yeting's eyes when Xia Xingcheng was mentioned.

Although all of this was well covered up by Sheng Yeting, Jiang Xiyun and Sheng Yeting were like brothers and had played together since childhood, Jiang Xiyun knew his sense was not wrong.

However, Sheng Yeting didn't leave the hotel and go home but went straight upstairs.

Upstairs was the place where Xia Xingcheng’s party was at tonight. He remembered that when he left home, Bao specially notified him that Xia Xingcheng could not hold her liquor well.

Even though he didn't want to admit that he was worried about Xia Xingcheng, Sheng Yeting went upstairs and decided to check on her.

In fact, Xia Xingcheng was already drunk at the party. From the beginning till now, many people came to toast her, she knew she could not refuse in such occasion, so at this time, she was already drunk.

After sending away the last toasting people, Xia Xingcheng could not help but feel dizzy. She was leaning on the sofa powerlessly, her face had an unnatural flush.

"Are you all right?" Gu Xingxi was looking at Xia Xingcheng worried. Her face became redder as he spoke.

After resting for a while, Xia Xingcheng did not feel better, on the contrary, she felt more and more dizzy and hot. She felt that she must be drunk. She struggled to stand up and staggered towards the bathroom slowly.

Seeing Xia Xingcheng like that, Gu Xingxi quickly held her up with worries all over his face: "Are you really all right? I’ll accompany you wherever you go."

Xia Xingcheng shook her head. "No problem. Maybe I'm just a little drunk. I'm going to the bathroom. Don't worry about me.”

Saying that, Xia Xingcheng secretly bit her teeth hard to make herself sober up a little. Then she slowly walked towards the bathroom.

Of course, she knew that she was a little dizzy now, and it would be better to let Gu Xingxi support her. But they were in public, after all, countless eyes were staring at them and any movement would be criticized by those people. She could not let Gu Xingxi be misunderstood by those who did not know the situation and cause unnecessary troubles.

Gu Xingxi also knew this, but he couldn’t persuade Xia Xingcheng. He could only look at her go helplessly and worriedly. In his heart, he had a bad feeling somehow.

What everyone failed to notice was that after Xia Xingcheng left, Zhou Daiwei followed her out.

Based on the comments on the novel, I feel like these chapters seemed to be more irritating than usual??? I dunno. I still haven't read this one that much. Anyway, thanks for reading!
