I'm in Love Apartment, and the system is making me cultivate immortality.

Chapter 335 The Real and Fake Xiaoxian: Teacher Zeng Rises! Laura's Departure
In response to Laura's invitation.

Gu Yifan withdrew his arm without hesitation to refuse.

Before she could persuade him further, he hurriedly grabbed Guan Gu and fled.

Even touching him through his clothes gave him goosebumps.

It's incredible that Laura, this woman of many affairs, hasn't contracted any diseases all these years.

"Looks like we can't eat that meal anymore; we'll just throw it away later."

As Gu Yifan stepped into the living room of 3601, he thought to himself.

He miscalculated. The food Laura had eaten should have been thrown away. He should have ordered a table of food from Xiao Nan Guo later.

Just then, Gu Yifan saw Miss Lin, her face ashen, walking out from the balcony and making a phone call.

"What's wrong with Wanyu?" Gu Yifan asked Qin Yumo curiously.

Miss Qin shrugged and said with a half-smile, "Laura, you offended her with that."

Gu Yifan: "???"

Lin Wanyu nodded with a serious expression, her tone unfriendly, and paced back and forth in the living room.

"Yes, find me the best journalist. I'll send him the materials in a bit and have him write it up within an hour and publish it immediately!"

Gu Yifan was speechless. Miss Lin was really going to ruin Laura's reputation completely.

3602 Living Room
Zeng Xiaoxian silently gave a thumbs up to Gu Yifan for his decisive departure.

They are indeed good brothers.

Otherwise, if Gu Yifan and Guan Guzhen stayed, he wouldn't have been able to say anything.

"Laura, please have a seat." Zeng Xiaoxian looked at the beautifully dressed Laura with burning eyes and extended an invitation.

"Yes, Xian'er, you may sit down too~"

Laura smiled outwardly, but inwardly she felt a little regretful.

No, I should say I regretted it twice.

The first time was with that man named Gao Jian, whom I met in the afternoon. He looked exactly like Zeng Xiaoxian, but he was more charismatic, more eloquent, and richer!
Unfortunately, the two had just left the bar and were heading straight to the battlefield when they were interrupted by a phone call.

It seems to be Mr. Gao Jian calling, asking him to come to the company.

We'll have to make it another time.

The second regret was that Laura's desire, which had been aroused in the afternoon, was never satisfied.

She originally wanted to put on a facade in front of Zeng Xiaoxian.

But just now, under the dim light, both Gu Yifan and Guan Gu looked very handsome.

She didn't want to pretend anymore.

Unfortunately, the handsome young man didn't seem to be interested in her and had a beautiful girlfriend.

It's okay, Laura thought. There's no such thing as a man who doesn't cheat, as long as she stays with Zeng Xiaoxian.

The perfect man in this apartment will eventually be hers!
Even if that girl was prettier than her, Laura was confident she wouldn't be a match for her.

With this in mind, Laura sat down at the table.

She reached out and picked up the deep red wine glass, smiling sweetly.

"Before we begin, I think we should have a toast to celebrate that you've finally come to your senses, Xian'er."

“No problem.” Zeng Xiaoxian was always ready to help Laura. He quickly pulled out a chair, sat down, and picked up his wine glass.

Kudos to Gu Yifan for his thoughtfulness; not only did he take the opportunity to let the red wine breathe, but he also poured it for both of them.

"A toast to this reunion, a toast to our friendship."

Zeng Xiaoxian gazed at Laura with deep affection.

Laura simply returned his gentle smile, then elegantly sipped her glass of red wine.

After tasting the flavor, he said with some surprise.

"This wine tastes a bit strange?"

"Really?" Zeng Xiaoxian also gulped down a mouthful and smacked his lips.

"It doesn't have much taste, it's just astringent."

“It’s alright, I don’t blame you. It’s your fault for never having drunk good wine before,” Laura suddenly said, with a hint of arrogance.

But she herself didn't seem to realize that her words were somewhat demeaning to Zeng Xiaoxian, and instead took another sip of red wine.

"It does have a nice aroma, but it tastes pretty good, doesn't it?"

Zeng Xiaoxian looked a little embarrassed, feeling disappointed by Laura's words, but he still nodded.

"That's right, try these dishes, they're delicious."

“Even if it tastes good, it’s not because you made it,” Laura added.

Zeng Xiaoxian was stunned again.

He didn't understand what was wrong with Laura all of a sudden.

This is a question that only Gu Yifan probably knows the answer to.

He drugged the two of them.

To be precise, he added the 'True Word Pill' that he had previously fed Richard to those two glasses of red wine.

It is beneficial to the body after consumption, but it will unconsciously cause one to speak one's inner thoughts. Even cultivators cannot avoid the effects, let alone Teacher Zeng and Laura.

Watching the two clink glasses and drink red wine from the balcony, Gu Yifan knew he had the upper hand.

Now all we need to do is wait for the two of them to tell their true feelings, and then release the video, which will be enough to detonate this bomb.

Well, hopefully it won't hurt Teacher Zeng too badly, but a short, sharp pain is worse than a long, drawn-out one.

Teacher Zeng will figure it out.

Gu Yifan observed a moment of silence for Teacher Zeng.

Just then, Ziqiao's hushed voice came from the balcony, "Come quick, it looks like Teacher Zeng and Laura are arguing!"

Upon hearing this, everyone rushed to the balcony, no longer hiding their gaze, and looked towards 3602.

"It seems so!" Mika exclaimed in surprise. "Did you guys release the video?"

"It should still be a while," Ziqiao said, indicating that the time he had set had not yet arrived.

"That's strange. Why are they arguing? I really want to go and hear what they're arguing about," Mika said disappointedly.

3602 living room.

"Laura, I understand."

Although Zeng Xiaoxian felt a little uncomfortable with Laura's condescending tone, he still spoke up shyly.

"I think I should trust you one more time."

Before Zeng Xiaoxian could finish speaking, Laura suddenly said, "Trust me?"

Zeng Xiaoxian was taken aback, then nodded.

But Laura seemed to have heard the funniest joke, and couldn't help but giggle.

"I need someone as honest as can be, someone who will tell me if they trust me."

Zeng Xiaoxian was struck dumb, staring blankly at Laura.

It's hard to believe that these words came from Laura's mouth.

Don't look at me like that.

Laura dropped her pretense and revealed her true colors: "I only came to you because you're naive enough, stupid enough, and foolish enough!"

"I have to say, Zeng Xiaoxian, after all these years you are still exactly the same as the person I knew, you haven't improved at all."

"I only need to move my little finger, and you'll be unable to resist coming closer, right?"

Laura's eyes were filled with smugness and pride, as if in her eyes Zeng Xiaoxian was nothing more than a plaything she played with on a whim.

A pathetic man who can be molded into an obedient puppet, who will forgive her without limit as she runs wild outside.

But these words sounded like a muffled thunderclap to Zeng Xiaoxian.

The disdain and contempt in Laura's eyes also stung Zeng Xiaoxian's pride.

Zeng Xiaoxian's chest heaved rapidly like a bellows, but he managed to suppress it.

"Laura, what's wrong with you? How could you say such things? Are you drunk?"

Seeing Zeng Xiaoxian at a loss and still trying to help her, Laura picked up her glass and took another sip.

"I'm just telling you the truth that you men don't want to hear."

“Zeng Xiaoxian, this is the real me, not the Laura you've imagined.”

"What, are you disappointed? Angry? But it's okay, as long as I act cute and affectionate, you'll still forgive me, right?"

Faced with the endless stream of Lauras self-destructing, Zeng Xiaoxian was shocked, and his heart involuntarily began to clench, feeling a heart-wrenching pain.

"You, Laura, you weren't like this before."

"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Laura brought her pretty face closer and spoke to Zeng Xiaoxian with a sweet voice.

"How do you know I wasn't like this before?"

Zeng Xiaoxian was speechless, his fists clenching involuntarily, feeling that Laura in front of him had suddenly become very unfamiliar.

“Yeah.” Laura pouted and sat down again. “I was more naive and silly back then than I am now.”

"It's probably not that simple," Zeng Xiaoxian couldn't help but say. "If you were naive, you wouldn't have cheated on me for six whole years!"

“It’s because I’m too naive!” Laura retorted sharply. “Otherwise, I wouldn’t have spent two years seriously talking to you and wasting two years of my life.”

"Later I realized that there was no future in following you. What could you give me? A late-night TV host. If it weren't for a friend of yours who touched my heart and helped you out, you wouldn't even have a single sponsorship!"

Laura's words were like a sharp knife, cutting Zeng Xiaoxian's wounds, which had finally healed, back into a pool of blood.

Zeng Xiaoxian was stunned, staring at Laura with his mouth agape, speechless.

"Take it easy, Xiaoxian, my Xian'er~ Do you think society is still the same as it used to be? Life is more open now, so your mind needs to be open too, OK!"

"Nobody wants to be bound by responsibilities, so why can't I enjoy life?"

"But that can't be based on hurting other people's feelings!" Zeng Xiaoxian finally couldn't help but shout.

"Don't you think your behavior has gone beyond what is acceptable to most people?!"

"Really?" Laura asked in surprise. "But you're still willing to accept me as I am, so why can't you be more generous?"

"Because I simply don't want to! But I still have a sliver of hope that you can come back when you're done playing around and tired, and I'm willing to accept you as you are," Zeng Xiaoxian shouted in one breath, before sitting down, panting heavily.

"After all, you are my first love, the woman I once loved most. I truly want to spend my life with you!" Faced with Zeng Xiaoxian's monologue, Laura fell silent.

Looking at the silent Laura, Zeng Xiaoxian spoke with hope, almost pleading.

"Didn't you ever feel even a little bit attracted to me? Didn't you ever think about taking a relationship seriously?"

“To be honest, yes, but not anymore,” Laura said slowly, her heart still hardened.

"I have seen a wider world, and you, you selfishly want to keep me by your side, is this love?"

Zeng Xiaoxian laughed in exasperation.

Suddenly, he felt that his persistence over the past two days was so ridiculous, like that of a clown.

"If that's the case, why did you come back?"

Zeng Xiaoxian's eyes were filled with exhaustion as he asked softly.

next door.

There's no need to eavesdrop in 3602 anymore; you can hear Teacher Zeng and Laura arguing clearly from the balcony of 3601.

Everyone was initially excited, but now their expressions turned serious, and they looked somewhat shocked.

In particular, Teacher Zeng's almost pleading monologue was twisted by Laura into his possessiveness.

"How could there be such a woman?" Lin Wanyu asked in disbelief.

Even though she also loves freedom and longs for an unrestrained life.

But they would be willing to stay for love, and would not feel that love is a constraint or an entanglement.

Quite the opposite.

Love is a debt, it's the reluctance to let go of someone.

Perhaps Lin Wanyu hadn't figured it out at first.

But when she returned to New York...

When it was discovered that her heart was still in Shanghai, and she was thinking about someone, rather than traveling the world or anything like that.

At that moment, Miss Lin knew what love was.

Love is her unwillingness to wrong her beloved, to make him travel to a foreign land again, leaving behind his friends and family, to the headquarters of Lin's International Bank.

Instead, he would rather put himself under more pressure and return to Shanghai to complete a long journey.

Love is when she gradually gets used to being with someone. When she's alone, she feels sad, lonely, misses them, and feels reluctant to let go.

Because I've come to understand that my home is where my heart is.

So Lin Wanyu clearly had a chance to calm down with Gu Yifan.

She chose to pursue her dream of freedom and travel the world, without hesitation.

It's because, if given the chance, I'd like to embark on the journey again.

Wanyu hopes that he will be among those who travel with her.

"Laura doesn't understand love at all!" Lin Wanyu said indignantly.

"It's just an excuse for her selfishness, because she never loved Teacher Zeng at all!"

As Lin Wanyu said.

Does Laura have any love for Zeng Xiaoxian? Probably not. At most, she might still have a slight fondness for him.

Why should I come back?

Laura listened to Zeng Xiaoxian's tired question and thought for a moment, "Maybe it was just a spur-of-the-moment thing."

"You know, I've always been capricious. I might appear in this country, or I might be on the other side of the world the next day."

"so."

Laura slammed her hand on the table, her expression turning ferocious. "While I still have some patience with you! Zeng Xiaoxian, I advise you not to test my limits!"

Laura herself realized something was wrong; she seemed to have lost her composure.

But it doesn't matter, does it?

Anyway, he was just Zeng Xiaoxian, the most ordinary and mediocre of her many boyfriends.

He might apologize to her later.

With this in mind, Laura didn't care even when she realized that she wasn't in a good state.

"Being with a beautiful woman without having to take responsibility, isn't that exactly what you men want?"

Faced with Laura's confusion, Zeng Xiaoxian wearily closed his eyes and shook his head firmly.

"No, this isn't what I want. I'm not like your ex-boyfriends!"

Laura raised an eyebrow, about to speak, but was interrupted by Zeng Xiaoxian.

He stared intently at Laura. "I think it's time to say goodbye. I mean, goodbye forever."

Laura stared wide-eyed in disbelief at what she was hearing.

She was actually rejected by a cowardly and incompetent man?
Zeng Xiaoxian lowered his head, his face obscured by shadows, and only his calm voice could be heard.

"Actually, I had already thought of all of this, and I had already guessed it."

"But I kept deceiving myself and refused to believe it, even though my friends advised me to break things off with you."

Do you know why I've become so indecisive?

As Zeng Xiaoxian spoke, he raised his head and stared at Laura.

Perhaps Zeng Xiaoxian's gaze was too sharp, causing Laura to feel a sharp pain and forcing her to turn her face away and look away.

"It's you!"

"all because of you!"

"You deceived me for six whole years, you kept belittling me, making me feel worthless, even though I really did become a complete failure!"

"But even ants dream of flying! What makes you think I'll be useless my whole life?!"

Zeng Xiaoxian roared, spittle flying everywhere.

Laura was intimidated by Zeng Xiaoxian's lone wolf-like aura.

"Yifan is right. My own relationship is in such a mess, what kind of relationship show can I possibly host?!"

"That's right, I got the sponsorship thanks to Yifan, but I accept it without hesitation. I have a good brother who supports me. What about you?"

Zeng Xiaoxian unexpectedly came to a realization.

Perhaps he really isn't suited to hosting relationship shows, especially since he was being played by Laura like a lapdog.

That's ridiculous, what a hellish joke.

Laura's sharp words, while cutting open his healing wounds, also unexpectedly brought Zeng Xiaoxian back to his senses.

"Zeng Xiaoxian, are you crazy? How dare you talk to me like that?" Laura said with an ugly expression.

But Zeng Xiaoxian was nonchalant and even crossed his legs.

"Didn't you treat me the same way?"

"You're right, I only love the Laura of my imagination, so I have no feelings for you now."

A sentence that was difficult to say before tonight, now comes out of Zeng Xiaoxian's mouth with ease.

"From now on, you go your way, and I'll go mine. This relationship is over!"

"You can leave Laura now!"

This time, it was Laura's turn to have her chest heaving violently.

She was stunned, feeling as if everything had spiraled out of control.

"I think we shouldn't act impulsively, Xiaoxian. We're not children anymore."

Unexpectedly, Laura didn't fly into a rage; instead, she changed the subject.

“I didn’t act impulsively,” Zeng Xiaoxian insisted.

Laura slammed her hand on the table, but unfortunately, the delicious food on the table remained untouched, covered in saliva from the back-and-forth spitting out.

"Shut up, Zeng Xiaoxian! I'm telling you!"

"Don't think you can just reject me like that. What I want to do, I will definitely do. What I want to get, I will do everything I can to get it!"

"No one can refuse me, not even you! Don't try to bargain with me!"

Zeng Xiaoxian's aura was once again overshadowed by Laura. He looked at Laura in surprise and suddenly felt a little timid.

He stubbornly insisted, "Of all the men in the world, why are you so fixated on me?"

Laura sneered, "I told you, I'm not completely fed up yet. Only I can decide when this game ends!"

Zeng Xiaoxian remained silent. So that's how it is. That's why Laura got tired of him last time and left without looking back, leaving him heartbroken and in agony.

Now that she thinks about it, she comes back to visit as if it were perfectly natural, intending to continue making him her plaything.

It's ridiculous.

Seeing Zeng Xiaoxian remain silent, Laura forced a smile, "Don't say I didn't give you a chance. If you can prove you don't love me anymore, I can leave!"

at this time.

The television next to him suddenly turned on, startling Zeng Xiaoxian.

Immediately afterwards, the two were drawn to a familiar voice coming from the television.

"Sir, are you alone?"

Laura's expression suddenly turned panicked, while Zeng Xiaoxian's eyes widened as he stared at the screen.

From the initial approach to Laura snuggling into Gao Jian's arms and flirting with him.

"I just returned to Shanghai, so of course I'm single."

"How about we talk somewhere else? How's your place?"

The balcony next door
Suddenly unable to hear 3602's voice, the crowd fell silent, turning their heads left and right, eager to know what had happened.

"The video has started playing!" Ziqiao said.

Before two minutes had passed, a roar was heard.

"roll!"

Everything came to a complete end at this moment.
