Chapter 117: So Perplexed

  His godfather found him, but it was to reconcile with her.

  The media had long been touting him as a sensation, and for the first time, he allowed newspapers and magazines to plaster his photo on their front pages.

  But in just one day, all news reports disappeared.

  He knew who was behind it without asking.

  When his adoptive father called him, he already knew what he meant and thought it was really unnecessary. However, she told him to go...

  She said I didn't sign it.

  He couldn't describe the feeling he had when he heard her words at that time, his first thought was to take that contract and tear it to shreds.

  And yet he, in such a situation, could still calmly ask her why.

  She spoke again, those few words, okay, he admitted, his heart skipped a beat.

  He wanted to make up for that impulsive moment, he wanted to fulfill what he had said, he wanted... to let her and him never be together again.

  But why? For what?

  He didn't know...... really didn't know......

  For the first time, I feel so lost.

  Later, he finally found the answer.

  It's because of my adoptive father.

  He didn't know why his adoptive father insisted on him marrying her, saying it was an order from above, but he wasn't stupid to that extent.

  So he agreed, went, pretended and even acted out a good play with her.

  And her performance was so astonishing that it reached a level of perfection, making him sigh in admiration.

  He thought, this woman is really fake.

  Then, after abandoning her, he didn't care about her anymore.

  That day, I turned on my phone and there were so many calls.

  The dragon god told him, your sister-in-law has been looking for you all along.

  He hesitated for a moment, struggled for a long time, and finally went to her home.

  To her surprise, her mother's attitude towards him had a 180-degree change, and after he got back the contract, he finally felt his heart at ease. Seeing the blank space in the column for the bride, he was overjoyed.

  So he decided to treat her well, decided to make her fall in love with him, decided to make her... never be able to be with that person again.

  That's a very childish idea, and he has long since grown up.

  But an even more childish idea is that I think my brain has gotten wet.

  She was Ouyang Xue, which part of her, from head to toe, could attract him?

  But he was attracted to it anyway.

  I'm going to the restroom downstairs...

  She suddenly leaned in close to him, her lips carrying a faint scent of wine, exhaling like an orchid.

  He turned his head and looked at her, with a faint blush on his small face, and heard himself say: "Do you want me to accompany you?"

  "Never mind..."

  Xue Luo busily shook her head and stood up, walking out of the private room.

  "Look, look, I'm telling you, Vito, are you doing this for our benefit?"

  "Is it necessary?"

  He glanced at the speaker with a faint glance, picked up the wine glass in front of him and sipped it lightly, his face calm and unreadable.

  Everyone else was chattering away, but Cang Mu and Mei Ying were silent.

  Suddenly someone said, "Eerie Shadow, why aren't you speaking?"

  Mei Ying was originally taciturn, from start to finish, except for the words spoken when toasting with Jing Xue, not a single sentence has been uttered until now.

  "Alas, I say Vito, others have already toasted your family's wine, shouldn't you return the toast?"

  "That won't do, we have to wait for Eldest Sister to come back and return the toast..."

  "Not yet, not yet, we haven't even toasted Big Sister..."

  Cang Mu just smiled and glanced at Mei Ying, who was looking at him. Their eyes met, and she quickly looked away.

  ——

  The carpet was extremely soft, and she already had a light step, but at this moment it felt like she was stepping on cotton, without any strength at all, as if the whole person was about to sink in.

  The corridor was very long, and occasionally the doors of the private rooms would open, and you could hear the laughter inside, but soon they would close again, and not a sound could be heard, as if it were isolated from the world.

  The bathroom is fully equipped with high-end facilities, and even the faucet is made of gold.

  The light shone down, golden and dazzling, making one's eyes blink.

  Xue fell, gazing at herself in the mirror, her cheeks flushed with a deep crimson hue, as if she had applied a layer of rouge. Her large eyes sparkled brightly, and her tender red lips seemed even more beautiful than when made up.

  She scooped up a handful of water and splashed it onto her face. The water wasn't cold, but her face felt like it was on fire, yet somehow still felt refreshingly cool.

  She only felt dizzy, closed her eyes, as if the whole world was spinning around her. She thought splashing water on herself would help a bit, but it didn't seem to make much of an improvement.

  The road back to the package seems to have become even more distant.

  Every step is extremely cautious, but in fact it's not caution, always feeling like I'm stepping on air, one foot deep and the other shallow, struggling through the mud.

  Not far ahead, a private room opened and a loud noise came out. Then someone walked towards me with staggering footsteps.

  The snow fell as far as possible to one side, and walked close to the wall to avoid colliding with people.

  It seemed that the person was deliberately blocking her way, not allowing her to pass. She walked this way, and the person also walked this way; she walked that way, and the person also walked that way.

  Xue Luo finally looked up, becoming impatient: "Excuse me...please move aside..." A soft and weak voice, yet with a hint of firmness.

  There's more~~~ Alright, let's rush to the monthly ticket chart this month~~~ Dear ones, if you have monthly tickets, throw them over here~~~
