Chapter 1161: Chapter 1159: Leaving Already?
Why are these people all like this?!
Hao Jian was happily drinking beside her, but Lin Qingxue’s heart was brewing with anger, which quickly spread to her pretty face, turning her complexion more and more unpleasant.
Even if Hao Jian was truly useless, it would be her choice. What right did these people have to speak about Hao Jian like this?! Hao Jian was her man, and today was the first ti they had t him. As soon as they t, they mocked Hao Jian. What was this all about?!
What made her even angrier was that her three roommates hadn’t even noticed the derogatory tone in their boyfriends’ words. Were these three so deeply lost in a paradise of tenderness?!
“Hmph!”
Thinking of this, Lin Qingxue couldn’t help but snort. The sound was small, but Hao Jian heard it, and he turned his head in surprise, seeing Lin Qingxue’s dark face, he couldn’t help but smile. He suddenly reached out and ruffled her hair.
“Little Xiaoxue, what’s wrong with you? Why do you look so upset? Are you feeling unwell?”
Hao Jian’s actions attracted the attention of these people, and when Molan saw Lin Qingxue’s face, a look of confusion appeared on her pretty face. Lin Qingxue was fine earlier, so why did she look so unwell now?
“I am feeling a bit unwell.”
Lin Qingxue had initially wanted to say she was fine but then thought again and realized there was no point staying here. She didn’t want Hao Jian to continue sitting and letting these people ridicule him in both blatant and subtle ways. Even if she knew that these people had no understanding and wanted to explain, since Hao Jian hadn’t said anything, she didn’t know if she should speak up.
Now that she had an excuse to leave, she naturally wanted to use it. So after saying this, she held Hao Jian’s hand and smiled apologetically at Molan, saying, “Lanlan, I’m sorry, but I’m really not feeling well today. I’ll let Hao Jian take ho first…”
After saying that, without caring about Molan and the others’ reactions, she intended to take Hao Jian and leave. But before she could stand up, Molan already reacted and was about to nod.
Since her roommate wasn’t feeling well, going back to rest was also good, especially since there were classes tomorrow.
“Don’t spoil the fun. It’s so hard for us to gather together today. Leaving like this isn’t good, is it?”
Seeing Lin Qingxue about to leave, Wang Baiyue panicked. If Lin Qingxue left, how could he carry out his pursuit plan? He quickly ca up with an idea and spoke directly.
He wanted to use the pressure of the crowd to make Lin Qingxue stay, knowing very well why she wanted to leave. Wasn’t it because they were mocking Hao Jian’s incompetence?
Because of this, Lin Qingxue couldn’t hold back, making the already narrow-minded Wang Baiyue extrely jealous. Why should a useless guy like him gain the favor of a goddess like Lin Qingxue?
Moreover, she thought about this guy in every way. Such a woman should belong to him, Wang Baiyue, and her future assets would amount to a substantial number!
If she left today, there would be no chance to interact with her. He couldn’t exactly tell Molan he wanted to see Lin Qingxue, could he?
If Molan started suspecting him, he would be in real trouble. His plan was to hold onto Molan while pursuing Lin Qingxue so that even if Molan found out later, he could just go along with her words and leave her.
After all, he only wanted Molan’s money. Why would he need to be Molan’s boyfriend if there was a much wealthier option in Lin Qingxue?
He wouldn’t need to!
“Baiyue is right, today is Molan’s birthday after all. If you leave like this, you’d really be hurting Molan’s feelings, wouldn’t you?” Sun Jiang chid in, and before Ye Ni could say anything, he blocked her, making her go along with Sun Jiang’s idea since he was her boyfriend and she didn’t want to ddle.
“Qingxue, see, everyone wants you to stay. It would really spoil the mood if you left, and it might ruin the relationship between you four, which wouldn’t be good at all.”
Wang Baiyue gave Sun Jiang a look that they both understood, then raised his head with a smile, looking at Lin Qingxue with confidence in his words.
He believed that under their pressure, Lin Qingxue would definitely stay. At worst, they would just speak less about Hao Jian later to avoid driving her away again.
“Since Baiyue has said so, Qingxue, just stay. Even if you want to leave, wait until we’ve finished the cake, okay? The cake hasn’t even been brought out yet. You want to leave now, do you not consider Molan a friend?”
As soon as Feng Tian said this, Lin Qingxue’s face changed slightly, feeling extrely conflicted inside. On one side was Hao Jian, and on the other side were her roommates, leaving her at a loss for what to do.
When Feng Tian said this, Molan gave him a fierce glare. Couldn’t Ailin mind her boyfriend a bit? How could he just say sothing like that?
But when her gaze shifted to Ailin, she found that she was still imrsed in the ga world, occasionally swearing, leaving Molan resigned but to let it go.
However, it made her rethink her opinion of Wang Baiyue. Her roommate wanted to leave, and she couldn’t stop it, not to ntion Wang Baiyue was creating a situation out of nothing.
“Alright, let’s talk after we finish the cake. After all, it’s Molan’s birthday today, and during such a festive ti, don’t create trouble.”
Molan had just wanted to say a few words when Hao Jian took Lin Qingxue’s hand, pulling her into his embrace. His light laughter was also heard, gradually washing away the dark traces on Lin Qingxue’s pretty face.
“Let them say what they will; we’ll do as we please. I have my own decisions.”
Hao Jian whispered softly in Lin Qingxue’s ear, his voice so quiet that only Lin Qingxue could hear it. However, the ticklish sensation by her ear made Lin Qingxue’s pretty face suddenly turn bright red.
When Hao Jian realized that Lin Qingxue’s ears had turned bright red after his words, his face suddenly showed a look of confusion. He let go of the hug and noticed Lin Qingxue’s shy expression.
He smiled wryly inside, thinking how a perfectly good sentence could end up like this.
“Then I’ll hang in there!”
Because of this, Lin Qingxue didn’t say anything, just turned her head, smiled again, and looked at the six people with a smile on her face.
Hao Jian said it, so I’ll listen.
This was Lin Qingxue’s thought at the ti. Moreover, from Hao Jian’s words, she knew that this guy wasn’t completely clueless. He was aware of Wang Baiyue and the other two’s sarcastic remarks about him, but perhaps he ignored them because, in Hao Jian’s eyes, the trio’s actions were just a farce.
“The cake is here!”
As Lin Qingxue said this, the cake that Molan and the others had asked the bar to make earlier slowly arrived in front of the group of eight on a tray held by a waiter.
The cake wasn’t particularly novel, but it was large—a three-tier, ten-pound cake, adorned with exquisite patterns and irresistible, mouth-watering fruits.
“The cake is here, haha, let’s light the candles and have our birthday girl make a wish!”
Seeing the cake brought in, Ye Ni quickly put down her knife and fork and took a lighter from her boyfriend, lighting the candles that were originally on the cake.
“Birthday girl, make a wish!”
After doing this, Ye Ni directly looked at Molan, and the others also shifted their gaze to Molan, as she was the center of attention today.
“Have fun, eat well, you don’t need to worry about .”
After whispering this to Lin Qingxue, Hao Jian also stood up. Smiling, he looked at the big cake, feeling sentintal inside.
It’s really been a long ti since I’ve had birthday cake.
Next to him, upon hearing Hao Jian’s voice, any dissatisfaction Lin Qingxue had disappeared, replaced by a smile. Naturally, she hooked her arm around Hao Jian’s and affectionately looked at the cake on the table.
For the next half-hour, the group of eight ate, drank, chatted, and laughed, starting the second half of their evening. Before they knew it, that big cake slowly found its way into several stomachs.
Wang Baiyue and her two friends seed concerned about Lin Qingxue leaving, and their chatter towards Hao Jian diminished greatly, limiting their interactions to clinking glasses and cozying up with their girlfriends.
However, even when cozying up, they still kept a small part of their attention on Lin Qingxue.
The eight gathered inside this small alcove, while at a four-person table outside sat four white-skinned foreigners. Listening to them, it seed they were speaking English, though occasionally two of them would switch to Russian.
It seed these four white-skinned foreign n ca from different places but coincidentally t in Hua City.
However, their gaze was unanimously drawn to the small alcove where Hao Jian’s group was. After all, there was only a sowhat transparent curtain separating them, making it easy to see what was going on inside.
“Wow, these won are stunning!”
“Gulp, really stunning!”
“These won are more stunning than the ones we spent money on!”
These four foreigners had their eyes glued to the beauty of the four won. Considering how alluring they were, it wasn’t just these four foreigners who were drawn.
In fact, over ninety percent of the n who ca to the bar to drink were fixated on these four. The remaining ten percent who had won with them would still sneak a peek whenever their partners weren’t looking.
“John, boss, these won are stunning—much more stunning than the ones we played with just now!”
The one speaking Russian suddenly turned to a man beside him and said.
“And look, those four guys are built like bamboo poles. Should we just…”
As he spoke, the man made a gesture, which the three others noticed.
