âForget it.â Zuo Yue did not explain further. She just smiled and got out of the car, walking straight into the bar.
Yin Ruisheng walked in. The bar was surrounded by flickering lights, but it was still dark. People who were not close to him would not recognize Yin Ruisheng, a popular Korean boy in the past two years. They wanted to bring Zuo Yue to find a card bag, but they saw Zuo Yue walk in as if she was familiar with the place.
After entering a VIP room, Zuo Yue sat on the sofa and talked to Water while turning to look at Yin Ruisheng, who had not taken off his sunglasses.
âYouâre already here, arenât you afraid of being recognized?âZuo Yue teased with a smile.
Yin Ruisheng chuckled helplessly. It was not until Zuo Yue ordered some drinks and food and the waiter walked out that he took off his glasses and turned to sit on the sofa opposite her. He said softly,âDo you think itâs that easy to be a celebrity? If he wanted to stir up a scandal with any woman, he had to get permission from the company. If someone took a photo of him drinking with her, the scandal would become famous again tomorrow. Then, the company would talk about this and that again. It was very annoying.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Zuo Yue rolled her eyes at him.â Youâre the eldest son of the Yin family, after all. Youâre not interested in such a good family business, but you just had to come out and become an artiste. Youâre even restricted in every way. I really donât know what youâre thinking.â
âI guess he was born rebellious, just like you.âYin Ruisheng said with a half-smile, and the waiter brought the wine in.
When the private room was only the two of them again, Yin Ruisheng poured a few bottles of wine and handed one to Zuo Yue. Seeing that she did not have any stage fright, he smiled and said,ââArenât you afraid of drinking too much?â
âItâs not like I havenât drunk too much in front of you.ââBesides, you wonât do anything to me even if I drink too much,â Zuo Yue said lightly.â
âThatâs not necessarily true. Times are different now. In the past, were I still the warm man who was worried about your feelings three years ago?â
âRight, youâre not. Youâre a playboy with rumors flying around.âZuo Yuechi laughed and looked towards the direction of the private room,ââLock the door from the inside. I donât want any coincidences to happen again and meet someone I shouldnât meet here.â
Yin Ruisheng raised his eyebrows at her words.ââWhy?â
Zuo Yue did not explain. She stood up and walked to the door. She locked the door and turned around to sit on the sofa.
Yin Ruisheng looked at her for a while, then picked up the bottle of wine and took a sip. He asked casually,âIâve seen you smoking and drinking a lot recently. I can tell that you havenât been back to Los Angeles for the past few years.â
âDoes smoking and drinking mean that Iâm not a decent woman?âZuo Yue took a square cup from the side and poured herself a glass of Brandy before taking a sip. Then, she raised her eyebrows.âAnd if you didnât invite me out for a drink, I might not have agreed to meet you.â
âSo heartless?â Yin Ruisheng snorted. It seems that I was too lazy to care about you three years ago and didnât plan to contact you for the time being, giving you more opportunities to indulge.â
Zuo Yueâs expression froze slightly.
She thought of the night Yin Ruisheng took her out of the villa three years ago. She thought of the alcohol they drank that night. She also thought of Xu Chengfeng who suddenly barged into the hotel and even pressed her against the door to kiss her.
Zuo Yue lowered her eyes.â
The private room was suddenly silent. Yin Ruisheng looked at her for a while and then picked up the automatic remote control to turn on the music in the private room. For a moment, the room was filled with popular European and American music in recent months. The two of them did not speak for a while, as if they were both worried about each other, but also as if they were simply catching up with each other through drinking.
After some time, Yin Ruisheng opened another bottle of wine. He paused for a moment and suddenly said,ââYou and Xu Chengfengâ¦â
âNever started.â Zuo Yue immediately opened her mouth to end this topic that should not be brought up.
Yin Ruishengâs expression froze, and he suddenly looked up at her seemingly cold and calm expression.
He didnât ask any more questions, and Zuo Yue didnât explain much either. When he looked at her, she took a sip of wine from her glass and put two small ice cubes into it.
Yin Ruisheng suddenly couldnât drink anymore. He put the bottle to his mouth, paused for a moment, and then put it away on the table. He looked at Zuo Yue and said,ââThen why are you still in Boston?â
âBecause I havenât graduated yet. Although Iâm doing an internship now, the school hasnât finished all my studies.âZuo Yue laughed as she spoke. She looked so calm as if there was really no other reason.
âYou havenât had any other boyfriends in the past few years?â
Zuo Yue glanced at him. Now, youâre actually concerned about my love life?â
âLooking at your current state, how can you not care? And rather than saying that I care, itâs more like Iâm worried. Every time I see you smoking, I canât sleep. I really want to go over and knock on your door and take all the cigarettes in your house.âYin Ruisheng laughed self-deprecatingly as he spoke.âDo you think Iâm born to be a traitor and a slut? Iâm in this circle and there are countless beautiful women around me. Yet, I always remember that you said that you would marry me when you grew up when you were young. Up until now, no woman has caught my eye.â
â..â
âExcept for you.â
â..â
Zuo Yue did not say anything. She just drank quietly. It was impossible to tell if she had heard his vague confession or if she was pretending not to hear it.
âTwo days ago, I had a job related to the GN Corporation. Because it was arranged by the company, even if I didnât want to have anything to do with the GN Corporation, I had no choice but to attend the job. That day, I saw Xu Chengfeng. Although I didnât greet him, he obviously saw me.âYin Ruisheng handed her a new bottle of wine.ââDonât drink too much BranBrandy, itâs too strong, and itâs easy to hurt your stomach if you drink too much. If you want to drink it, drink some of this sweet wine, itâll still be intoxicating, but it wonât harm your body.â
Zuo Yue took it with a smile.â
âWill there be a chance to warm you up?â
â..â
âEvery time I tell you about this, you donât say anything.ââDo you think I can force you to listen to my confession?â Yin Ruisheng chuckled.â
âWeâre not children anymore. Whatâs the point of confessing?âZuo Yue laughed as she put down her wine, but her eyes were slightly drunk.âThe most important thing for me now is to work. The most important thing is to improve all my results during my internship and graduation. This way, I wonât waste my three years of studying hard in Boston. At least I wonât disappoint my mother because of me.â
Yin Ruisheng seemed to hear something fishy from her words. He looked at her a few times, but did not directly say it.
