“Truth or dare.” Xia Yuxun suppressed her nervousness deep within herself.

“Truth.” Leng Sichen answered mindlessly. His profound eyes were full of unreadable emotions.

Truth… after so many years, she knew everything about him like the back of her hand. Was there anything she didn’t know?

Xia Yuxun twirled the wine glass in her hand and thought it over. Then, as if she didn’t care, she said, “Hmm, I really cannot think of anything to ask right now. Just tell us how you and Ms. Bai started dating!”

She knew just how self-tormenting this question was coming from her. But… she couldn’t help it…

She couldn’t let it go. She really couldn’t!

They were once so friendly with each other and she didn’t believe that Leng Sichen had absolutely no feeling towards her. Since when did he start distancing himself from her… step by step, walking further from her…

Probably since they started university…

So she had no way of ignoring this question.

The first half of Xia Yuxun’s sentence made Bai Qianning’s face turn dark. She thought, she sure cannot underestimate this woman. Was she hinting that they grew up together and so there was nothing she didn’t know about him? But hearing the second half of the sentence made her feel victorious. Who cares about the way you were? This man is now mine!

Leng Sichen refreshed his memory and answered, “We met at a school club. I was the president of a club and she was the creative director. She was perfect. You could say that we gradually fell for each other as we spent more and more time together.”

Bai Qianning revealed a happy smile upon hearing this, “Sichen…”

Bai Qianning has never heard Leng Sichen compliment her this frankly.

Leng Sichen was without a doubt, a perfectionist. Towards women, his standards have also been very harsh. Plus, this woman was his future fiancé.

He could accept not feeling burning love towards his wife, but he could not accept her being imperfect.

Rationality was too easily lost in the face of emotions.

So, Xia Yuxun, who failed to meet every single criterion of how he chooses a companion, may have been shut out by him since the beginning. Maybe he even considered her to be a ferocious and savage beast.

Ha… gradually fell for each other as we spent more and more time together…. gradually fell for each other as we spent more and more time together….

Listening to that phrase, Xia Yuxun felt the irony in all this!

They’ve known each other for more than 20 years yet he gradually fell for a woman he spent a few years with…

But that sounds about correct. Towards Bai Qianning, a gentle, beautiful, and multi-talented rich daughter from a fitting family, which man wouldn’t feel their heart waver?

They were truly a match made in heaven.

If one day, he chose her, then she would be the first one to think Leng Sichen has gone crazy.

All this time, it was one-sided. He has never returned her feelings…

Sometimes, regarding her own persistence towards Leng Sichen, even she herself thought it was an illness, even she herself felt shocked and scared.

But she didn’t have any other choice. The person who was the kindest to her when she was the most helpless, the person who acted as a pillar in her life was the person she could not let go of in this lifetime.

Leng Sichen, how wonderful would it be if you were never good to me…

–

The group only dispersed when it was almost midnight.

Hanging around the bar, Bai Qianning held onto the drunk Leng Sichen and said worriedly, “If you go back like this now, nobody can take care of you. How about you go back with me tonight?”

Leng Sichen’s head rested on her shoulder and he nodded mindlessly.

Xia Yuxun was making a phone call, emotionlessly. Using her distinctively clear-headed and respective tone, she spoke into her phone, “It’s too late tonight, Annie doesn’t think it’s safe for me to go home alone so I will stay here. No, I definitely did not drink. I can promise you that using my character as a wager. Yes, dad, I will be careful in the future! Yes dad, please rest early and well!”

Xia Yuxun hung up the phone and puked on the side of the trashcan until her world spun.

Han Qiyu watched Xia Yuxun wide-eyed. This girl changed her attitude faster than flipping through the pages of books, “I cannot believe there are people this woman’s scared of.”

Mo Fei pointed at Xia Yuxun while swaying and with a discriminating tone, he said, “You good for nothing! Back in the days, I didn’t say a single word before flying off to study in America. My mom and dad didn’t dare to say anything!”

Leng Siche sent off Mo Fei and Han Qiyu before walking worriedly to Xia Yuxun, “Are you okay?”

Xia Yuxun puked until her legs were soft and her head was heavy. Before she passed out from being too drunk, she managed to squeeze in one statement, “I can’t go home… can’t go home… my dad… will… break my legs…”
