Chapter 264: Chapter 263: Recapture Lost Territory
He didn’t want to show her so much concern, but he had no choice now. He couldn’t just watch Ji Wei fall like this, could he?!
She originally could have had a wonderful future, the prerequisite being, without being hospitalized because of him. But what are you doing here?" Ji Wei retorted, "Did you have a fight with her and come here to drown your sorrows?"
She took out her phone: "I’ll call Wen Nuan to pick you up."
"No need!"
Leng Yan stopped her, with a helpless smile: "Her phone is dead, she’s at Tong Xi’s place now." Regarding him and Wen Nuan, he didn’t want to say too much to Ji Wei: "Let’s talk about you, why are you here?"
"Yan..."
Ji Wei looked at his lowered hand, forcing a bitter smile. She reached out to hold his hand but pulled back just before touching it. She looked at him, her eyes filled with pain, shaking her head slowly: "I’m here because my heart aches, so I came to drink. Yan, I want to find a man here to forget you..."
"Ji Wei, don’t be like this. It’s not worth it for me!"
"I lied to you." Ji Wei smiled lightly, her smile full of sarcasm and hurt: "But, everything’s worth it for you. However, this time I really just want to find a man for a drink and a chat, nothing more than that."
She leaned against a car, gently thumping her forehead with the back of her hand, breathing heavily, looking at Leng Yan: "I didn’t know you were here, sorry, I’ll find another bar. I just want to drink and chat, it doesn’t matter where."
"Don’t be ridiculous, go home! You’re going to destroy yourself like this!"
Leng Yan growled low behind her, his head aching terribly. He thought about compensating her, wanting her to go far in her acting career, which she loved; three years ago, she said she wanted to be an actress. He didn’t want to destroy her, or her dreams.
"Afraid someone will recognize me?" Ji Wei stopped, but didn’t turn back, covering her face and crying: "Then, will you drink with me? Let me get drunk, then call Xiao Liu to pick me up. I just want to be drunk so I won’t think about anything else."
"I don’t want to drink anymore." Leng Yan’s stomach was hurting, his head was throbbing. He didn’t want to drink at all, he felt terrible, and he wanted to find Wen Nuan.
Without Wen Nuan, his days were very lonely. A few days ago, he could still call her, but now... she wouldn’t even answer.
Ji Wei’s face showed a hint of desolation, she sniffled, her innocent eyes looking at him: "Then just watch me drink, stay with me to ensure I won’t run off to another bar. Don’t worry, I can’t hold my liquor; I’ll be drunk soon enough..."
"Can you..."
"No." Before he could finish, Ji Wei interrupted him, "It doesn’t matter if you don’t accompany me, but I have to drink today."
"Fine."
After hesitating for a long time, Leng Yan finally forced out a word through gritted teeth.
"Give me the keys!"
Ji Wei reached out and took the keys from his belt, lightly pressing them against his car, pushing him to the back seat: "Wait for me, I’ll go buy some alcohol."
Watching her staggering shadow, Leng Yan sighed and tried to open the car door, but she had already locked it. He couldn’t get out and could only sit there waiting.
Leng Ye lazily leaned against the wall, watching Ji Wei walk towards him step by step, with a perpetual mocking smile on his lips.
A very clever woman, but also truly vicious!
No wonder she could become so popular in just three years. She was very adept at grasping men’s psychology and her performance was truly superb. Such a woman, really makes people love and hate her!
"Got it?" Leng Ye was thinking when a hand rested on his shoulder.
He turned around and handed her the item in his hand: "Miss Ji, your acting is indeed outstanding, worthy of a movie queen."
Ji Wei knew he was mocking her, but at this moment, she didn’t want to bother. She just smiled charmingly: "Later, I’ll have to trouble Young Master Ye to give us a ride. Wen Nuan is at Tong Xi’s place. I don’t want Young Master Ye to watch my performance; that would be too boring and wouldn’t do us any good."
"You..."
Leng Ye wanted to slap her, remembering the painful look on Wen Nuan’s face when she saw that scene; his heart burned in pain. However, he needed this venomous woman to help him complete a crucial plan in his life. His eyes initially flashed with a ferocity, but the next second, turned into a gentle smile: "Very clever!"
"You flatter me!"
Ji Wei lightly replied, leaving with the item, her chin slightly raised, like a queen marching to reclaim her lost land.
Yes, today she was going to reclaim what she wanted, to get back the man she desired!
