The beer bottle is going to hit on Xia Ning’s head. Xia Ning instinctively holds out her hand to stop it. At the time, Gu Luan rushes to her. He grabs the beer bottle from Wan Liqing.
“Wan Liqing, can you stop horsing around?”
Wan Liqing feels shocked. She looks at Gu Luan’s angry eyes and feels heartbroken. Tears fall from her eyes. She says, “You obviously know what I want. You know it. Why do you always defend her?”
Gu Luan darkens his eyes, “Let me repeat it again. It is unworkable for you and me.”
Wan Liqing takes a breath. She feels her heart so painful as if it is cut by thousands of knives. She can’t accept the result. If Xia Ning were not between them, Gu Luan and she would have become a couple!
Thinking about this, Wan Liqing grits her teeth. She points at Xia Ning and scolds, “Xia Ning, you shameless dirty woman, you have got a husband. You still come out to seduce the boyfriends of other women! Xia Ning, you are a home wrecker. You won’t die in ease!”
Not expecting that Wan Liqing will continue to make a scene, Gu Luan totally loses his tolerance for her. He lifts his hand and forcefully slaps towards Wan Liqing’s face.
“Mr. Gu!” Jiang Yongran comes to grab Gu Luan’s hand, “If you are a real man, you should not vent your anger on a woman!”
They stare at each other. The air smells like gun powder.
“Let go of my brother!”
Suddenly, a girl’s voice is heard. Then Jiang Yongran is forcefully pushed by a hand. He loses his balance and falls onto the ground.
When Jiang Yongran fell, he instinctively grabs Wan Liqing and Wan Liqing grabs something beside her. In an instant, a lot of noise is heard. The table is turned down and some glass bottles are broken into pieces on the ground.
Jiang Yongran and Wan Liqing hold each other and fall down together.
“Ha. Ha! You dirty disgusting couple, hold each other there!” Gu Ruoruo laughs with disdain.
Wan Liqing collects herself and finds that it is Gu Ruoruo laughing at her. The last string in her brain is broken. She is totally out of her mind. She takes a broken beer bottle and sticks it towards Gu Ruoruo!
The sharp edge of the glass is coldly shinning. Gu Ruoruo feels shocked. For an instant, she fails to make any reactions!
She seems to see the sharp glass sticking into her body. She can’t imagine it. She closes her eyes. People around cry in astonishment!
Suddenly, a wind blows with a familiar fragrance and a tall man comes to stand in front of Gu Ruoruo.
Bang!
Then, Wang Liqing is heard to cry painfully. Gu Ruoruo hears another clear crack of glass. She feels surprised. She opens her eyes at once.
The man standing in front of her is Yi Yunyi.
“Uncle Yi!” She is saved. Gu Ruoruo feels so glad that she wants to give him a hug. But when she sees Yi Yunyi’s hand bleeding, the gladness disappears at once. She cries, “Oh. Yi, your hand!”
“Don’t come here!”
Yi Yunyi shouts in a loud voice. Gu Ruoruo stops her steps.
Yi Yunyi stares at Wan Liqing with great anger. He waves his hand to get rid of the blood. He asks, “Miss Wan, do you want to murder someone?”
Wan Liqing holds her hand which is wrenched by Yi Yunyi. It is so painful that she turns pale. But she grits her teeth and says, “If you are afraid, you should not interfere in this…”
“Wan Liqing!” Jiang Yongran interrupts. He takes a step forward to Yi Yunyi and says, “She is drunk. She is not conscious. Let’s stop here. As to your wound, I will pay for the medical expenses.”
The man who rushed here looks quiet and intelligent. But he gives out some mighty temperament, which makes Jiang Yongran unconsciously shiver.
Jiang Yongran has met a lot of people. He realizes that this man must be a big shot.
Yi Yunyi slightly screws his eyes, “Mister, I hope you watch over your girlfriend. If anything happens, no one can save her!”
“OK. I see. Your hand…”
“It is nothing serious.” Yi Yunyi responds. He walks to Gu Ruoruo. As if he remembers something, he turns to Jiang Yongran again, “Well, as to the conflicts between that woman and my younger sister-in-law, I hope you don’t interfere in it. Or, don’t blame me for what I may do to you.”
Younger sister-in-law? Jiang Yongran feels shocked.
“Yi! God! How is your hand? Is it painful?” Gu Ruoruo worriedly holds Yi Yunyi’s hand. She wishes the wound were in her hand.
“Brother, I am sorry to make you injured.” Xia Ning feels sorry, “Director Gu, we may send my brother to the hospital first.”
Gu Luan nods, “Let’s go to the hospital. Or, it will be troublesome if the wound gets infected.”
The four together leave the bar. When Gu Luan passes by Wan Liqing, he pauses and says in a low voice, “Wan Liqing, don’t create any trouble for me! Don’t force me to get rid of you!”
Wan Liqing’s eyes freeze. She feels her heart break into pieces. She bites her lower lip. Blood flows out from the corner of her mouth and she doesn’t feel the pain.
“Miss Wan.” Jiang Yongran calls her, “They have left. Shall we…Hey, Miss Wan!”
Jiang Yongran has not finished his words when Wan Liqing left in a hurry. Jiang Yongran wants to follow her. At the time, some guards come to stop him. Jiang Yongran shrugs his shoulder. No need to ask. They must come to him for compensation.
It is over. Other people also go away.
In a corner, a man leaves some one-hundred banknotes on the table. He puts his phone aside. Then he puts on a cold smile and stands up to leave.
Yi Yunyi stays in the hospital for over an hour for the treatment. Gu Ruoruo is so worried about him that she tightly holds his hand. Yi Yunyi is injured. But it is Yi Yunyi comforting her instead. Gu Luan has taken some medicine to sober himself up. He sits on the chair to rest and wait for the impact of the alcohol to disappear.
Xia Ning is sitting beside him. She wants to go to check on Yi Yunyi. But when she sees Gu Ruoruo and Yi Yunyi sweetly stay together, she decides not to disturb them.
“Sorry…” Gu Luan gives a sigh, “I am to be blamed for your elder brother’s injury.”
Xia Ning smiles, “Director Gu, I don’t know what to say. I hope you can take good care of yourself. To be honest, you have been single for a long time. We are all worried about you.”
Gu Luan lifts his head. He looks at Xia Ning for quite a while, “Can you call me Luan next time? Ning, the way you address me makes me feel we are strangers.”
Xia Ning purses her lips and nods, “OK. Sorry.”
Gu Luan hesitates, “I also want to find a girlfriend. But I have not found anyone suitable. Ever since I broke up with Wan Liqing, I feel…as if I am unable to love again.”
Xia Ning blinks her eyes. She slightly opens her mouth, but she gives a sigh and says, “Luan, may what Wan Liqing said be right or not, I hope you don’t put your concentration on me. You are my senior schoolmate. I hope I can be your good friend forever. Can I?”
The words Good Friend are just like needles sticking into Gu Luan’s heart. He feels so painful that he closes his eyes. After quite a while, he takes a deep breath, “Good friend…OK…”
Can they only be good friends?
Good friends forever only?
Gu Luan grits his teeth. He clenches his hands.
Hearing Gu Luan’s response, Xia Ning feels a little released. She smiles, “Hum. It is good. So, as your good friend, I hope you stop complaining and blaming yourself. We have found our happiness. I hope you can also find yours soon.”
Gu Luan slightly opens his eyes to look at Xia Ning.
His happiness is right here in front of him.
Xia Ning finds Gu Luan looking at her. Not knowing why, she feels panic. She instinctively feels that something is going to happen.
At this moment, Xia Ning feels that there is something wrong with Gu Luan…
Suddenly, Gu Luan’s phone rings. He glances at the number. He darkens his eyes and stands up, “Excuse me, I need to answer the call.”
Then, he goes to a quiet corner.
“Sister Xia!” Gu Ruoruo comes over, “Where is my brother?”
“He goes to answer the call.”
“Oh…” Gu Ruoruo looks to the direction where Gu Luan stands. She purses her lips and says in a low voice, “Sister Xia, I tell you. Recently, my brother looks quite strange.”
Xia Ning blinks her eyes, “Why do you say so?”
“He received a lot of mysterious calls.”
Xia Ning thinks for a while. Before Rui goes to Beijing, he seemed to receive a lot of mysterious calls, too.
“It is late. What do you call me for?” Gu Luan asks in a low voice.
“Director Gu, you haven’t slept? Ha. You have a colorful night life…”
“Cut the cackle! What is it?”
The caller hesitates, “I call to confirm with you. Shall we really launch the plan?”
Gu Luan darkens his eyes, “Yes.”
“Good!” The speaker laughs, “Since you have made the decision, I will actively cooperate with you. I may remind you of one thing. Please don’t forget the agreement between us. Those who quit in the middle of the way will end up miserable.”
“Don’t worry! I will surely keep my promise. You may mind your own business!”
It is twelve in the night when Xia Ning goes back to the military compound. She takes off her shoes and throws her handbag to the sofa. She goes hurriedly into the bathroom. The odor of alcohol smells terrible.
“The most romantic thing I can think of is to be getting old slowly with you…”
Her phone rings with the familiar song. Xia Ning feels surprised to hear it. Then she runs to it as if she is in a 100-hundred meters dash. She presses the answer button, “Darling!”
This song of ringing is specially set for Yi Yunrui’s call only!
“Sweetheart.” The voice from the other end sounds soft and deep. It is sexily magnetic. It is Yi Yunrui. He says, “Sorry to call you so late. Do I wake you up?”
“No.” Xia Ning shakes her head, “It is OK for you to call me anytime. Darling, how are things going on there? How are you?”
Yi Yunrui gently smiles, “Everything is fine. Don’t worry about me. Sweetheart, I miss you very much.”
Xia Ning feels sweet and her eyes are blurred with tears. She slightly sobs when she speaks, “Darling, I also miss you very much…When will you come back?”
Hearing his wife sob, Yi Yunrui feels his heart twisted, “Soon. I call to tell you that I am safe.”
“Hum.”
Yi Yunrui hesitates for a while and then he says word by word, “Sweetheart, you have to carefully keep what I am going to say in mind.”
