C13 You Are Not Allowed to Go to the Club

The moonlight outside the window was surprisingly bright. It fell through the window into the living room, causing the lights to dim a little. Mi Cai's beautiful and refined face once again dimmed the moonlight.

I just stared at her like that. Her face was filled with silence. This made me feel a little apprehensive. Perhaps my attachment to this house was not enough to move the 'cold' her.

After a long time, Mi Cai finally opened her mouth and said to me, "You love this house very much?"

I nodded seriously, "Very, very much... No one in this world would love this inconspicuous house more than me."

Mi Cai smiled and said, "That might not be the case."

I looked at her in surprise, "Could it be that you are the person that I love more deeply than me?"

Actually, I have always been curious as to why Mi Cai and Mr. Lee bought this house. Although I can pretend that it is an art of the wealthy, the real answer is probably not as simple as I imagined.

Mi Cai did not answer my question. She asked me, "How long do you plan to stay?"

"Did you agree?" I asked with some excitement.

"Zhao Yang, can you face the problem first?" Mi Cai's tone was somewhat dissatisfied.

I smiled and sighed, "So you know my name!"

Mi Cai frowned again.

I smiled sheepishly. Afraid that she would change her mind, I made an apologetic expression and said, "I will answer the questions first. I will answer the questions first. I plan to stay... for another month. Is that okay?"

Mi Cai was silent for a while and finally said, "Yes... but you have to promise me two conditions first."

"Sure. As long as you don't chase me away, everything will be fine. I will definitely do it." I patted my chest and said.

"Don't be so confident. Wait until you do it." Mi Cai choked on my words.

I smiled awkwardly again and said, "I know that I don't have any credibility in your eyes. Let's put it this way. I will try my best to fulfill your request, alright?"

"Yes." After a short pause, Mi Cai continued, "First, you can't go to nightclubs in the future. Can you do it?"

"Ah!" I subconsciously exclaimed. I did not expect Mi Cai to make such a request.

Mi Cai looked at me and waited for my reply.

I was puzzled as to why Mi Cai would make such a request, but considering that women's thoughts were always unpredictable, I don't want to get to the bottom of it and ask why, so I decided to stay first. This is the most important matter. Without any consideration, I nodded and said, "Yes, but what about the other one?"

"You can't enter my room while you're staying here. You have to return the key to my room to me."

"This request is necessary." As I spoke, I took out the key from my pocket. I found the key to Mi Cai's room and placed it on the coffee table in front of her.

Mi Cai stood up from the sofa and finally said to me, "Remember what you promised me. If I find out that there is one thing that I cannot do, you can move it out yourself."

...

After washing up, I returned to my room. It was supposed to be a peaceful night. After all, I could stay here for the time being. However, I couldn't help but let my imagination run wild.

There were four days left before Faang Yuan and Yem Yan got married. As friends who had walked all the way here, their marriage couldn't possibly not provoke me. Actually, I'm not a non-marital person. If I can meet a woman who is in love with me, I also desire to get married. However, my physical condition is indeed a bit poor, and there are very few things that can be given to marriage. Thus, my desire to get married can only be an unrealistic fantasy to me. Temporarily sealed away.

I thought of Jian Wei again. We will definitely meet on the day of Faang Yuan and Yem Yan's wedding. If she brings her boyfriend or husband with her, will I break down again?

I shook my head and smiled. If I really break down at my friend's wedding, then this collapse would be really gorgeous!

...

The next day, I arrived at the company on time. Faang Yuan had already rushed back to Suzhou from Shanghai. The two of them met by the coffee machine in the resting room.

We each held a cup of coffee and chatted. I asked Faang Yuan, "How is it? Has the project of the GUCC cabinet been completed?"

Faang Yuan laughed as if he had been relieved of a burden. "It's done. If nothing unexpected happens, we can sign the entry contract next month."

"That's right. For a first-tier brand like GUCC to be able to enter our department store, you have contributed a lot. My little comrade's future is limitless!" I patted Faang Yuan's shoulder and said this with a smile.

Faang Yuan said to me seriously, "Zhao Yang, do you have any ideas regarding work? I can help you fight for it with the higher-ups."

I still smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about me. If you have ideas, I will fight for them myself."

I know that Faang Yuan is worried for me, but he has only been the team leader of the proposal team for half a year. He is still not experienced, but the company is very complicated. Plus, we all know that he is a friend, so it does not have a good impact on him.

"Stop it. We have worked together for two years. When did you take the initiative to fight for yourself?" Faang Yuan sounded unhappy.

I smiled without thinking. "That's because I don't have any ideas. I think this is pretty good. At least it's easy to work. Even if the sky falls, the first ones to fall will be you hardworking models who have worked hard to climb up!"

Faang Yuan was speechless by my words. After a while, he sighed, "You are really good! It has been two years..."

I immediately interrupted, "Enough, stop sighing. Tell me about what happened yesterday. Yesterday, I accompanied your wife to stroll the streets for a day. You must compensate me for this hard work today."

Faang Yuan nodded." Let's eat together after we get off work. "

As the two of them talked, they carried the unfinished coffee cup from the resting room to the office. When they were about to enter the office, Faang Yuan suddenly pulled me to a stop. Even the coffee spilled onto my sleeves.

"What's wrong?" I threw away the coffee in my sleeve and asked in surprise and dissatisfaction. I always felt that Faang Yuan was a little unusual. When he suddenly asked me if I had any thoughts about working, I felt it.

Faang Yuan looked at me with a piercing gaze. He paused for a long time and said to me,... " Jian Wei had called Yem Yan last night. At that time, she was ready to board the plane and return to China. She would be able to reach Shanghai by noon."

I was stunned. My head was a little empty and I didn't know how to react to this news.

Faang Yuan patted my shoulder and asked in a low voice," Are you going to Shanghai to see her? "

I was stunned for a long time before I asked Faang Yuan, "Tell me how I am going to meet her. Are you going to meet her as an ex-boyfriend?"

"If you feel awkward, just pretend I didn't tell you. But you have to meet her."

Of course, I know that Faang Yuan always said that he would meet him at his and Yem Yan's wedding. When that day comes, Jian Wei will attend, and I will also attend. But that kind of meeting was just a routine and not deliberate. I think, at that time, if I am open-minded enough, I will only treat her as a stranger whom I met by chance. No need for small talk, no need for... heartbreaking!

...

In the morning, I continued to do the work in my hands intermittently. It was only when all my colleagues went to the dining hall for lunch at noon that I lit a cigarette, closed my eyes, and leaned back on the office chair to smoke.

Amidst the lingering smell of tobacco, Jian Wei's face from that day lingered in my mind. I felt some pain, some at a loss, but I didn't know how to deal with the pain of the sound.

Two years ago, I already understood that the pain of breaking up was just meaningless self-torture, but 'lowliness' is human nature. I would rather grit my teeth and endure the false pain, rather than being 'lowliness' to become Buddha.

At this moment, Jian Wei was enjoying afternoon tea after reuniting with her family and friends, while I was sitting in an empty office, smoking a cigarette and causing the surroundings to be filled with melancholy.

I fiercely snuffed out the cigarette, wishing that I could give myself a big slap and warn myself not to be too lowly.

In the end, I was unable to do anything. I could only helplessly smile bitterly. All these years, it did not matter to me. All sorts of betrayals. At this moment, it seemed that... It just so happens that she left me with grief, and I've always been immersed in the past where I couldn't escape and brought this grief upon myself.

The smell of smoke gradually dissipated. In the huge office, I am still alone. The afternoon breeze blew in from the open window with a trace of inexplicable melancholy, just like my mood. After sitting for a while longer, I finally felt hungry. I stuffed the cigarette into my pocket. I'm going to eat something.

After coming out of the elevator, his phone rang. It was Luo Ben.

Luo Ben picked up the phone and said apologetically to me, "Zhao Yang, I'm really sorry about what happened yesterday. I wasn't able to help you carry it."

I didn't mind and smiled. "If you're a brother, don't say sorry to me. You guys play in the band. How can I let you guys take responsibility for a bar fight? In the future, which bar would have the guts to take you guys in to sing? Besides, teaching those ignorant grandsons a lesson is a responsibility that I, the Four Great Young Masters, am obligated to shoulder. Don't join in on the fun! "

Luo Ben also smiled and said, "Alright then, brother, let's not talk about it anymore. Oh, right. There was a fashion show at Su He Bar tonight. It was full of beautiful girls. A few of them are quite familiar with me. Come. I'll introduce them to you. "

"Sure!" I answered almost instinctively without thinking.

"Alright, I'll treat you tonight. Let's go crazy and play."

I walked out of the office with my phone in hand. Suddenly, I was enveloped by the sunlight and my thoughts seemed to spread. I suddenly remembered that I promised Mi Cai that I would not go to the nightclub again last night.

I stopped in my tracks and thought of all the unreliable things I did to Mi Cai a few days ago. I decided to be a man of my word this time...

After a moment of silence, I said to Luo Ben, who was still waiting for my reply. " Oh... Look at my memory. There's something personal tonight. I really can't go."

"What is more important than us eating, drinking, and having fun together?" Luo Ben asked jokingly, but he was also a little surprised. In his eyes, I, Zhao Yang, have always treated eating and drinking as the most important thing in my life.

"There are priorities. Let's make an appointment another day. I really can't do it today."

Luo Ben replied with slight disappointment. In the end, he did not force me. He helped me fulfill my promise and the night that was as calm as water.

After hanging up the phone, I walked towards the warm wind. I was surprised by my change in attitude. Actually, even if I agreed to Luo Ben's request, it doesn't matter. With my character, I can tell Mi Cai with a clear conscience. I just attended the company's gathering and drank some wine. She took care of the sky and earth. The director can't just let me and my colleagues have a proper gathering.

And why didn't I choose to lie to her? I don't understand...

After a while, he couldn't figure it out. He simply understood it as: She was too beautiful, and men were always willing to obey beautiful women.

However, this baseless logic doesn't seem to be that reliable.

Then what was the reason?... After a long time, I still don't understand!
