Lu Yanbin put on his clothes and turned to leave. Yi Hangâs nested in bed pitifully, his face filled with misery. He knew that this time he could only blame it on bad luck, but there would definitely be a second time for this sort of thing. Even if the bastard kept his promise to wait till he won him over, after this time, he felt that he would probably have to help him with his hands pretty often. This was a vicious cycle. Holding the corner of the quilt, he thought for a moment. Then, with a flash of inspiration, he got up quickly, ignored the soreness in his back, ran to the study to surf the internet and shopped in a disgruntled mood.
Qi Le didnât have to go to work this week. He was supposed to be really relaxed â go to school whenever he had classes, and if not, stay in his apartment to surf the Internet, play with his cat, and talk to Cooper. In fact, his days really were like this, but he was a little nervous and anxious because his father was coming.
Gu Bai took in the whole scene, rubbed him in his arms and suggested, âWhy donât we go out for a walk and relax?â
âRelax?â
Gu Bai gave him a kiss. âYou tell me then.â
Qi Le was silent for a moment, quietly nestling in his arms. âNo,â he paused. âDid my father say where he would be staying on his business trip? Is he going back to the villa?â
âThe furniture in your house has been covered with cloth and needs to be cleaned. Itâs too much trouble. He said he would stay in a hotel and might go back to take a look,â Cooper said, hugging him. âOr maybe... heâll come to the apartment to take a look. After all, your things are still here.â
Qi Le suddenly thought about his father, who had always loved him very much, facing the familiar bedroom in sorrow, with tears in his eyes. His felt a tingly sensation in his nose. Then, he wondered if his old dad would he beat him out the door without waiting for his explanation if he saw someone occupying his sonâs room, wearing his sonâs clothes and holding his sonâs cat.
Gu Bai saw his wife blink his wet eyes, looking miserable. He immediately felt distressed and leaned over to kiss him tenderly. âThatâs your dad. Tell me, what do you have to be afraid of? Be good, shall we go for a walk? â
Qi Le was about to refuse when he heard his cellphone ring. He took it out and looked at it. When he saw that it was his brother-in-law, he pressed the answer key. âIâm in a very bad mood now. If you ask me to go get Buddhist scriptures or something, I will kill you right now.â
âDonât worry, itâs not Buddhist scriptures.â From the other end, Zhong Ruiyuan spoke with laughter in his voice. âYouâre in a bad mood? What happened? Someone stole your wallet? â
â...â Qi Le said, âNo!â
âThen whatâs the reason? If you have something, just tell your brother-in-law. Iâll help you find a way,â Zhong Ruiyuan said amiably. âCome out and have a few drinks. Your friends will be here later. Letâs all have a chat.â
Qi Le asked without any hope. âWhich friends?â
âThe ones you met in the hospital.â
â...â Qi Le said, âNo thanks.â
Gu Bai was holding his wife in his arms and was very close to his phone. If it were any other time, naturally, he would be very happy to have their own couple time. However, the state of his wife obviously wasnât good these past couple of days, so it was good to take a break. He grabbed the phone. âWeâre going now. Iâm hanging up, see you later.â
Qi Le stared at him. âWhy are we going?â
Gu Bai kissed him and explained patiently. âSince your brother-in-law called, that means Lu Yanbin and the man named Ah Jie are both there. Your friends must be worse of compared to you. Just look at them and youâll feel better.â
Qi le thought that it made sense. He got up and said, âLetâs go to the bar.â
With that, Gu Bai took his wife out to relax with a triumphant smile. When they arrived, a certain idiot had just alighted from the car. When they saw him, Gu Bai immediately rushed forward, pulled him aside in a mysterious manner, and glared at him when Lu Yanbin was about to come over. The latter couldnât do anything but leave him there and went in first. Gu Bai looked at his wife and chose to go inside as well.
Qi Le looked at a certain idiot and pursed his lips. âWhatâs going on?â
Yi Hang struggled for a moment. He felt too ashamed to tell the truth. He said weakly, âThat bastard wants to burst my chrysanthemum...â
â...â Qi Le looked at him. âThis is old news, thank you very much!â
Yi Hang mumbled for a long time, wriggling around. âWhat do you think I should do?â
Qi Le immediately raised his eyebrows, has this man started to feel for a certain someone? He asked tentatively, âWhy donât you... go along with him?â
Yi Hang looked at him. âYou went along with him?â
Qi Le nodded, not caring to tell him the truth. He was willing anyway.
Yi Hangâs eyes brightened. This meant that he was the last one to be unlucky. His felt as if his state of mind was finally balanced and he secretly relaxed. He patted Qi Le on the shoulder. âCongratulations ah. Letâs go in.â
Qi Le was baffled by his reaction. God knows what this idiot was smoking. He gave him a strange look and was too lazy to bother about him. He was just about to enter the bar when he suddenly stopped and turned around. Yi Hang was puzzled. "Whatâs wrong?"
Qi Le looked around and said hesitantly, âI kept feeling like someone was staring at us just now.â
âWhere? Why didnât I feel anything?â
Right, your nerves are so thick. How can you feel anything? Qi Le side-eyed him. âLetâs go. I was probably imagining it.â
They entered the bar together and quickly found where the others were. He swept his haze across and saw Yu Mingjie sitting at the bar. He was surprised. âWhat are you doing here?â
