The spot where Lu Wanwan sat wasn’t very close to Shen Yi. As she recalled it, Shen Yi just about never came to this kind of place, as if he was never interested in any kind of entertainment.
A few bottles of wine had been opened on the low table, and Lu Wanwan asked curiously, “Have you been drinking tonight?”
Shen Yi froze, “No.”
He couldn’t hold his liquor well, thus getting drunk was a hassle.
Besides, the reason why he came over tonight, was specially to pick her up to go back home, as he had inquired and knew in advance that Lu Wanwan would be here for her group gathering.
Chapter 47
(19.4)
This afternoon, Shen Yi had even watched her hosting that live event. Back then, when they were in school, Shen Yi always felt that she didn’t look good on screen and that she looked better in real life.
Lu Wanwan said “oh” and didn’t ask any more questions.
Zhao Shizhou watched the two of them for a while, and suddenly opened his mouth, saying, “These days, there are rumors saying the two of you are divorced, I just want to ask, in the end, are the two of you divorced or not ?”
Li Xing kicked him, thinking in his mind that Zhao Shizhou wasn’t usually such a stupid person, how come the questions he asked today were all so annoying ?
“What nonsense are you talking about ? Drink your wine!!!”
Zhao Shizhou leaned back and drank a large glass of wine, with a deep smile.
They weren’t able to get a definite answer from Shen Yi’s mouth and they weren’t able to tell from watching these two whether or not they were divorced.
The private box was a bit stuffy, and Lu Wanwan felt a bit uncomfortable after sitting for a long time. She had to drink two glasses of cold water before the stuffy feeling in her chest got a bit better.
Shen Yi looked at her pale face, “You’re not feeling well?”
Lu Wanwan shook her head, “No, it’s fine.”
There was a moment of silence again.
Li Xing and the group sang and drank while Lu Wanwan buried her head down, fiddling and playing with her fingers. She never took the initiative to participate in their activities.
About half an hour later, Lu Wanwan yawned, this time she really felt a little sleepy.
Li Xing put down the microphone in his hand and came to their side, he was just about to speak.
When Lu Wanwan had a jolt, suddenly clear-headed, she opened her mouth to say, “We divorced, we divorced.”
“……”
Li Xing was about to tell to her to stop here for the night and have her go back home to rest.
But Lu Wanwan thought he was going to ask the exact same question as Zhao Shizhou, so she didn’t even think about it and directly responded to him with a lie.
Lu Wanwan silently thought inside that this wasn’t a lie, she and Shen Yi were really about to divorce, right?
Hearing her words, Shen Yi lifted his eyelids and looked at her with a deep look. Afraid that he would expose her lie, Lu Wanwan secretly pinched his waist and whispered in his ear, “Don’t say anything for now.”
He nodded his head, that was him agreeing to cooperate with her.
Lu Wanwan had little resistance to the obedient and docile Shen Yi, and her heart somehow softened.
Li Xing laughed awkwardly. Having a very good intuition, he pretended he didn’t hear anything and looked as though he didn’t understand anything, he laughed loudly and tried to change the topic.
Zhao Shizhou squeezed the glass of wine in his hand, smiling eerily and meaningfully, he asked, “Really?”
Of course it wasn’t true.
But Lu Wanwan didn’t say anything.
Fu Chenghuai, who had been sitting in a corner for a long time without making a sound stood up, frowning, he said in a low voice: “It’s not early anymore, I’m going back first.”
My a** it’s not too early !
It was clearly just past 9 o’clock.
“You’re not really making any sense, we should wait at least until it’s ten to go back home, right ?” Li Xing said.
Fu Chenghuai didn’t give him face at all, giving him a look, he said :”I’m not like you who is alone, I have a wife and children at home.”
Shen Yi, looking at the person who was dozing off beside him, also stood up and said, “I’m going home too.”
Li Xing sighed heavily, collapsing on the sofa, he stretched out his limbs as he said, “Okay, then let’s call it quits for tonight, see you on another day.”
Lu Wanwan forced herself to get up and gather her spirits. Whenever she felt sleepy, her temperament would gradually flare up, her cheeks would be puffed up and her eyebrows frowning, as if the two words “not happy” were written on her face.
When they went down from the seventh floor, they bumped into the previous group of people who had been singing and who just now were dispersing.
One could smell the smell of alcohol on them from a few meters away, Xia Zhi was standing in the middle, glaring viciously at her with wide-open eyes.
Among the circle of people, every one of them was fast at making guesses.
They could see that Lu Wanwan and the man beside her had a special relationship, but they didn’t think that he could be her husband.
Someone asked in a whisper, “Who are those people?”
“They’re all handsome and tall, isn’t Lu Wanwan a bit too blessed ?”
They were discussing with their voices down, “It seems to be the ex-husband of Lu Wanwan.”
The ex-husband who kicked out Lu Wanwan? Didn’t they say he hated Lu Wanwan? This didn’t look like he hated her.
Lu Wanwan forced herself to appear calm, and after greeting them, she went outside, in front of the hotel lobby, to wait for a cab.
Li Xing almost called her sister-in-law again, but then thinking about it, she and Shen Yi were now divorced, and calling her sister-in-law was now inappropriate.
It seemed that his insight was not wrong, back then he felt that sooner or later, Shen Yi would end up divorcing Lu Wanwan.
Shen Yi’s car was parked in the underground parking, and he sent a text message to Lu Wanwan: [Wait for me in front of the hotel’s gate.]
It was a cold winter day and standing outside for a short while, people would very quickly turn frozen, unable to withstand the cold.
At this hour, catching a cab wasn’t easy and Lu Wanwan, who was standing awkwardly in the middle of her new colleagues also waiting for a cab, didn’t look at her phone and thus didn’t see the text message sent by Shen Yi.
Five minutes later, a black Porsche stopped in front of Lu Wanwan.
Shen Yi rolled down the car window and said in a calm voice, “Get on.”
