If both agreed, it might be because they hadn’t seen each other for so long that they’d grown estranged.
He needed to understand what was really going on between them to diate.
They’re all friends, it couldn’t go on like this forever.
Sure enough, Shang Dongyuan’s words hit the mark with Lou Xining.
He had wanted to find an opportunity to apologize to Alan, but seeing her reaction, he didn’t know how to start.
Since Shang Dongyuan brought it up, he naturally had to follow through.
"Sure, we haven’t had a gathering in a long ti. How about we organize one soti?"
Shang Dongyuan nodded, "Good idea. How about you, Alan? Will you co?"
Alan looked at Lou Xining instinctively when asked.
This person disliked her so much, he certainly wouldn’t want her to go, right?
Besides, if Lou Xining went, then Lou Xinyu would go too.
She absolutely couldn’t hang out with Xiangsi’s enemy!
She would never betray her friend like that!
"I won’t go. You guys know I can’t recognize anyone." Alan gave a self-mocking smile, thinking she’d probably suffer from this damn face blindness for the rest of her life.
A gathering... where she wouldn’t recognize anyone, and would end up making a fool of herself.
Or, she’d have to do what she does now, always having a secretary with her to tell her who everyone was.
She really hated this feeling, but it was the only way she could recognize people.
It wasn’t a secret that the Murong Family’s only daughter had face blindness.
Over the years, Alan had sought dical help everywhere, not just in A City, but even abroad, many knew about it.
Shang Dongyuan nodded knowingly, "In that case, we can just have a small gathering with the few of us who are familiar. Having too many outsiders wouldn’t be fun."
"There’s no need for that..." Alan tried to refuse, but Lou Xining cut her off.
"You can recognize , right? Just stay with then." Lou Xining’s words ca out a bit fast, showing a hint of urgency.
For so reason, hearing Alan say she couldn’t recognize many people and didn’t want to attend the gathering made his heart ache a little.
Maybe it was because of his profession?
Frequently interacting with various patients made him more understanding and empathetic towards their pain and helplessness.
Before Alan could respond, Shang Dongyuan spoke first, "Alan can recognize Xining? It seems like you two have a special bond."
Non-family relationships usually fell into two categories.
Friendship or love.
Shang Dongyuan seed to have figured sothing out, his eyes filled with understanding.
Alan hesitated after Shang Dongyuan’s comnt, then quickly denied it, "How could we have a special bond? Actually, when I got out of the car earlier, I didn’t recognize any of you, my secretary told . Plus, I can’t even tell you two apart right now..."
Eager to distance herself from Lou Xining, Alan told a small lie.
She had decided to draw a clear line between herself and Lou Xining from now on.
As for being able to recognize Lou Xining, maybe it was just a coincidence.
Alan’s words made the atmosphere awkward.
Shang Dongyuan and Lou Xining both fell silent.
Lou Xining watched Alan’s expression carefully, feeling a sudden sense of loss.
Could it be that she really couldn’t see him clearly anymore?
Did it an he no longer held any special place in her heart?
