Wen Nansheng still went to the appointnt.
That night, Lu Jingyi got drunk, and in the end, it was Wen Nansheng who personally escorted her ho, carrying her through the doors.
Lu Changqing and Jiang iyi, seeing how much Lu Jingyi had drunk, naturally felt very distressed and couldn’t help but chide her a bit.
"Nansheng, thank you for bringing Jingyi ho!"
"Uncle, Auntie, it’s getting late, I should head back now!"
After finishing his words, Wen Nansheng turned and left the Lu Family
Watching his receding figure, Jiang iyi couldn’t help but sigh.
Actually, in all fairness, Jiang iyi also thought that Wen Nansheng was a fine young man, with a good family background and character, and he had always been quite close to Lu Jingyi since they were young.
However, compared to Shen Yufeng... Wen Nansheng lacked that certain sharpness and dominance, appearing more cultured and genteel instead, as if devoid of any edges.
People always look to climb higher, wishing to pluck the flower atop the cliff, and thus often overlook other scenes. With Shen Yufeng standing as a benchmark, no matter how outstanding others are, they would probably fail to catch the eye.
After leaving the Lu Family in his car, Wen Nansheng felt very heavy-hearted.
For so many years, his feelings for Lu Jingyi had remained unchanged.
In fact, he wasn’t foolish, nor was he blind to Lu Jingyi’s admiration for Shen Yufeng.
He had seen it a long ti ago; it was just that he couldn’t control his own heart.
Later on, when Lu Jingyi moved abroad with her family, he kept a watchful eye on her, sending her a gift every year on her birthday.
Although he never said anything... he thought she should understand his feelings.
But over all these years, she had never responded.
This ti, Lu Jingyi returned ho and said she wouldn’t leave again, which made him genuinely excited. That’s why he gathered everyone at Cui Ping Villa, which was also an indirect way to welco Jingyi back and dust off her journey.
However, the day Shen Yufeng carried An Xiaoyu away, Lu Jingyi’s mood beca very gloomy, and his heart... grew colder bit by bit.
Ultimately... the man she loved in her heart was still Shen Yufeng!
And tonight, when she suddenly called him out for drinks, he understood that she must have encountered sothing heartbreaking.
However, after arriving at the bar, she said nothing, just drinking one cup after another in a somber mood. It seed she buried all her sorrows deep inside, that fragile yet pretentiously strong facade caused him imnse heartache.
He didn’t need to ask to know for whom her sorrow was ant!
On one side was his good brother, on the other was the woman he adored; Wen Nansheng’s heart was as if being sliced by a sharp saw, bleeding and in agony.
He wanted to embrace her, desperately trying to comfort her, but he understood that what she wanted... was not his embrace.
That day at the bar, he didn’t touch a drop of alcohol, but after driving ho, he drowned his sorrows in drink until he was thoroughly intoxicated.

The next day, when Wen Nansheng woke up, it was already noon.
He checked his phone and found a WeChat ssage from Lu Jingyi.
"Nansheng, thank you for keeping company for so long last night, and... thank you for taking ho!"
The tender voice ca through, and Wen Nansheng abruptly sat up as if revitalized.
He replied promptly: "Don’t be so formal, are we strangers?"
Very quickly, the phone rang again... this ti, it was a call from Lu Jingyi.
Wen Nansheng’s heart skipped a beat, and he quickly picked up the phone.
"Jingyi, what’s up?"
Lu Jingyi smiled, "Do you have ti this weekend?"
"For what?"
"Well, if you’re not too busy, how about we go to the hot springs together?"
"That’s..." Wen Nansheng hesitated for a mont, "I shouldn’t have any plans!"
On the other end, Lu Jingyi chuckled, "Alright then, that’s settled. Oh, and... could you ask Shen Yufeng as well?"
Instantly, the joy on Wen Nansheng’s face froze.
