Beijing Marriage Entanglement

Song Qinghui stood up and looked down at Lu Xingci.

His gaze was fixed on her face, his dark eyes filled with an unyielding gloom.

"Lu Xingci, I'm asking you one last time, are you sure you want to break up with me?"

Lu Xingci's eyes remained calm and his tone was firm.

"Sure."

Song Qinghui's eyes reddened, and he gave a cold laugh.

"Okay, very good."

Even after Song Qinghui had been gone for quite some time, Lu Xingci was still somewhat surprised.

I thought Song Qinghui would pester me for a while, but I didn't expect him to agree so readily.

That makes sense. There are a few truly affectionate people in the rich second-generation circle, but it's all just a charade to pass the time.

Lu Xingci sank into the sofa and gave a bitter laugh.

Just then, Xu Zhiwei called.

Lu Xingci answered the call, tilting his head back against the chair.

How did you know I was back?

"That's what Jiang Wenzhao said."

Lu Xingci smiled. "You ran into him?"

"I just got off work, and he texted me saying he was going drinking, that's how I found out he was back."

Xu Zhiwei's voice suddenly turned serious.

"Why didn't you tell me you were back? Did I have to find out from Jiang Wenzhao that you were back? Am I still your best confidante?"

Hearing Xu Zhiwei's voice, the dark clouds that had been weighing on my heart for the past two days dissipated.

"Yes, of course you're my best buddy. How about we go out for a drink?"

"See you at the usual place in half an hour."

"Okay, see you at the usual place."

The two hung up the phone at the same time, as if on cue.

Lu Xingci used the handrail to get up and went to the bathroom.

She looked at the large bathtub, then at her right ankle.

If you're careful, you can definitely take a bath in the bathtub, but it will take a while, and then you won't have time to see Weiwei and the others.

"never mind."

She turned around, leaning against the bathroom door, picked out a random outfit from the walk-in closet, grabbed her bag, and went out.

I had just reached the entrance of the residential area when my phone vibrated.

Looking down, they discovered that Xu Zhiwei had created a group chat for the three of them, named the "Three Sisters of Beijing".

Jiang Wenzhao; ? ? ? The three sisters? Should I leave?

Xu Zhiwei: No, flowers need green leaves, just like Xingci and I need you.

Jiang Wenzhao: Flowers do need green leaves. Xingci and I are so beautiful, and you make a great impression on us.

Hsu Chih-wei immediately posted a selfie, the background of which was a photo of her sitting in a taxi.

She held her head high, her face full of pride and confidence, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up.

Xu Zhiwei: See? No matter how dark and harsh the environment is, it can't hide my stunning beauty.

Jiang Wenzhao: I can tell, the beauty filter is on full blast, right?

Xu Zhiwei sent a series of cursing emojis.

The group chat, which only had three people, had a combat power of 99+ thanks to the bickering couple Xu Zhiwei and Jiang Wenzhao.

It's so nice. Even though we haven't seen each other for several years, nothing has changed since we met again.

Lu Xingci hailed a taxi, and just as she gave him the address of the bar, Jiang Wenzhao in the group chat asked her for directions.

Jiang Wenzhao: Xingci, where are you? Do you want me to come pick you up?

Lu Xingci replied that he had just gotten into the car.

The moment I clicked send, Shen Yu's video call came in.

The finger accidentally touched the power button.

Lu Xingci reacted quickly and was about to hang up when Shen Yu's handsome and refined face appeared on the screen.

He looked like he had just taken a shower; his jet-black hair fell naturally, the ends resting on his forehead, and his eyebrows held a hint of unruliness.

His already handsome face was clean and tidy, like the warm winter sun, somewhat dazzling.

But at this moment, Lu Xingci had no intention of appreciating it at all.

The call has already been connected. If I hang up immediately, Shen Yu will keep pestering me.

Helpless, she had no choice but to cover the camera with her fingers and take out Bluetooth earphones from her bag and put them on.

"Feed?"

Where are you?

As Shen Yu spoke, he leaned closer to the camera, fiddled with his hair a few times, as if admiring his own stunning good looks through the lens.

Narcissistic!

Lu Xingci muttered a complaint under his breath, then cleared his throat and lowered his voice.

"I slept."

Shen Yu raised an eyebrow. "So early?"

"I didn't sleep well last night, and I didn't sleep well in the car either. Is something wrong? If not, I'll hang up."

Shen Yu stared at the dark screen for a second, hesitated, and then nodded.

"Alright, go to sleep then."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Xingci impatiently pressed the hang-up button.

The evening breeze was where Lu Xingci and Xu Zhiwei often met.

Jiang Wenzhao had never been there; the address was sent to him by Xu Zhiwei from the group chat.

In gratitude, Jiang Wenzhao sent a large red envelope containing two hundred yuan.

As soon as she received the red envelope, Xu Zhiwei gave Lu Xingci one hundred yuan, saying it was a share of the spoils.

Lu Xingci smiled and accepted the money, paid the fare, and got out of the car.

She pushed her way through the crowd and saw Xu Zhiwei waving at her from afar, standing on tiptoe.

And Jiang Wenzhao, who was walking towards him.

The bar was unusually crowded tonight, making Lu Xingci's journey difficult.

Fortunately, Jiang Wenzhao arrived. He was tall and walked ahead of Lu Xingci to clear a path for her.

Lu Xingci tugged at the hem of his clothes and followed closely behind Jiang Wenzhao.

Upon arriving at the booth, Lu Xingci placed her bag on the side.

"Why are there so many people tonight?"

Xu Zhiwei handed her a flyer.

"There are male models performing tonight, and I heard they're all foreigners. It's never been this lively in the evenings before. Did the boss suddenly realize something, or did they get a new boss?"

Because of its tranquility, Lu Xingci often met Xu Zhiwei here.

Complaining about the boss, complaining about work, complaining about the boyfriend.

Lu Xingci glanced at the poster and then looked away.

No wonder.

If I had known there would be so many people in the evening breeze, I would have arranged to meet somewhere else.

"I ordered some lower-alcohol-content items, along with some fruit and snacks. Do you need anything else?"

Jiang Wenzhao handed the drinks menu to Lu Xingci, his gaze practically glued to her.

Lu Xingci shook his head, and before he could finish saying "no," Xu Zhiwei reached out and snatched the drinks menu away.

"He's been living a carefree life abroad these past few years and has forgotten about us two sisters. We can't let him get away with this tonight."

Jiang Wenzhao rolled her eyes at her.

"How can I be living a carefree and happy life? Do you know how tough life is abroad?"

He was alone in a foreign country, and he found it very difficult to adjust to both studying and living there.

These are not the hardest parts.

For Jiang Wenzhao, the most painful thing was not being able to see Lu Xingci.

So browsing Lu Xingci's WeChat Moments became something he liked to do when he was most emotionally vulnerable late at night.

Until I saw that post on WeChat Moments where Lu Xingci and a man were holding hands, officially announcing their relationship.

Although the post was deleted within minutes of being published, Jiang Wenzhao never disturbed her life again after that.

I don't want to be a spy.

But today, at Qin's Private Kitchen.

He saw Song Qinghui, who was entangled with Lu Xingci.

If I'm not mistaken, Lu Xingci's boyfriend is her boss, Song Qinghui, a well-known gentleman in the elite circles of Beijing.

However, judging from what happened today, it seems that there are problems in their relationship.

Jiang Wenzhao then invited the two out for drinks under the pretext of reuniting with an old friend, wanting to find out about her relationship status.

Seeing that the two were about to start arguing again, Lu Xingci laughed.

"You two are such a delightful pair of bickering lovers. You get along so well, why don't you just get together?"
