At the Tianhu Villa
Nian Junting stormed into the house. Sister Lan was setting the dinner table when she saw him. She smiled and said, âMaster, youâre back so early? Youâre rarely at home for dinner now, ever since you started dating Sangsang.â
Nian Junting froze and plopped himself on the dining room chair. He stared at Sister Lan emotionlessly. Did she think that he wanted to come home to see her? He was only home because they had a fight. She was seeing Yi Jingxi and whatnot behind his back. He couldnât understand why she wasnât satisfied with a boyfriend like him. He was perfect in all aspects. Women are greedy creatures, he thought to himself.
âUm... young master, did I say something wrong?â Sister Lan hedged her words carefully.
âLetâs eat.â Nian Junting inhaled sharply and picked up his chopsticks. As he continued to have his dinner, he felt more and more awful about the entire situation. If Luo Sang was around, she would be piling food into his bowl. She would be sitting happily beside him.
His mood had been so affected these past two days that even his appetite was poor. âIâm done.â He put down his utensils and prepared to take his leave.
âYoung master, you only had half of your portion. Is there something wrong with my cooking?â Sister Lan asked out of concern.
âNo, I had something to eat earlier.â
...
He continued his way upstairs. He couldnât stop checking his phone and going onto his social media page. He couldnât stop tossing and turning in bed. Eventually, he jolted out of bed, miserable, and called Xiao Si. âCome out and have a drink with me.â
âHehe, youâve come crawling back to me after getting into a fight. Iâm not going out, not after how you treated me this afternoon,â Xiao Si said spitefully.
âWho said Iâm drinking because I had a fight? Luo Sang had a tight rein on me the whole time. I finally have some freedom now and want to have fun. Are you coming or not? If you donât go out, Iâm going to arrange for you to go to the great north on a business trip.â
Xiao Si cursed him silently before reluctantly agreeing. âLetâs go to the bar.â
At 11:30pm, the two men met in the most luxurious bar in Xia City. The booming music was deafening. Xiao Si was getting dizzy sitting at the bar. âAre you crazy? Why didnât you book a room? Youâve always hated noise!â
âItâs quite refreshing to sit out here occasionally.â Nian Junting ordered four drinks from the bartender. When all the drinks had arrived, he fished out his phone and snapped a photo of the drinks and posted it online.
Xiao Si watched him and smirked. âAre you doing all of this to make Luo Sang jealous?â
âImpossible. Iâm not so lame.â Nian Junting glared at him.
âDonât block me, then. Let me see what you posted.â Xiao Si chuckled. âDonât think I donât know. Nian Xi told me that youâve blocked me on your social media ever since you started dating Luo Sang.â
âYou can block me, too. I donât mind.â Nian Junting couldnât be bothered to talk to him. He continued to post more photos on his page. âDonât tell Luo Sang that it was only the two of us if she ever asks about tonight.â
â...â
What on earth did you post? Xiao Si thought to himself.
At midnight, Luo Sang refreshed her social media page and saw Nian Juntingâs new status update. Havenât been out to a rave in a while. The night life is amazing! There were two photos attached to the post, a picture of four glasses of alcoholic drinks and another photo of men and women rubbing against each other on the dance floor.
Nian Xi commented, âBro, are you sure you should be doing this? Does Sangsang know about this? Do you want to be punished by kneeling on the keyboard?â
