Chapter 365: The Truth Comes Out After Being Drunk
Lu Yiheng has been in a very bad mood recently. He used to think that he had slept with Yang Wenqi, which not only made the sleep comfortable and stimulating, but also allowed him to use this incident as a threat to get her to help him win the sovereignty of the Lu family from his second uncle.
But unexpectedly, Yang Wenqi became pregnant with his child and insisted on giving birth to the child. This decision was undoubtedly a time bomb that could blow his current life to pieces at any time. By then, let alone the inheritance rights of the Lu family, it is possible that his second uncle would kill him once this matter was exposed.
But Yang Wenqi was like a madman, firmly believing in her decision. Did she ever think that although she gave sufficient reasons, she never thought that they might not be able to pass the paternity test. Even if it was just handed over to grandma as Yang Wenqi said, Lu Yiheng knew very well how smart his own grandma was.
He regretted it now. He should not have taken advantage of the fact that Yang Wenqi was drugged that night to get together with her. She had lost her mind, but he had not.
"Oh shit……"
The strange thing was that that night, he took advantage of the alcohol and forcefully kissed Chen Xiaolin, who was talking to him about work, which scared Chen Xiaolin away. As a result, the two met Yang Wenqi in the elevator. He was afraid that she would tell her family or his second uncle something, so he turned back to explain things to her, but he never expected that it was a coincidence.
Lu Yiheng had been so upset recently that he didn't even let Xie Jinhui follow him, and often came here alone to drink. Today was no exception. He stood at the door of the bar, and his irritability made him clench his fists unconsciously. He glanced around the bar, and finally fixed his eyes on the familiar figure beside the bar - Chen Xiaolin.
Chen Xiaolin sat there alone, gently shaking a cocktail in her hand, her eyes seemed empty, and she seemed to be thinking about something.
A complex emotion suddenly surged in Lu Yiheng's heart.
Ever since the accidental kiss in the elevator, Chen Xiaolin refused to see him again, but he always remembered Chen Xiaolin's panicked eyes and her back as she hurriedly fled.
Lu Yiheng took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and then walked to the bar. Sitting down next to Chen Xiaolin, Lu Yiheng waved to the bartender, ordered a glass of whiskey, and then turned to look at Chen Xiaolin.
"What a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you here." Lu Yiheng tried his best to make his voice sound relaxed.
Chen Xiaolin seemed to be pulled back from her thoughts by his voice. She turned her head and saw that it was Lu Yiheng. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.
"It's quite a coincidence indeed." She responded calmly without showing much expression.
There was a brief silence between the two. Lu Yiheng took a sip of whiskey, feeling the burning sensation of alcohol in his throat. He knew that he needed to find a topic to break the awkward atmosphere.
"Hyolin, I'm really sorry about what happened in the elevator that night. I... I was drunk and lost my mind." Lu Yiheng decided to apologize first.
Chen Xiaolin glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. Finally, she shook her head slightly to show that she didn't mind, and said in a normal voice, "It's all in the past, big brother, there's no need to mention it again."
There was another silence. Lu Yiheng felt a little powerless. He didn't know how to continue the conversation.
His eyes unconsciously glanced at Chen Xiaolin again, but he found that she seemed to be secretly observing him. He suddenly had a different feeling in his heart. Chen Xiaolin, was she actually observing him?
"Do you come here often?" Lu Yiheng tried to change the subject and took the opportunity to open his eyes and look at her. Her elegant and classical beauty seemed particularly soft under the light, which temporarily relieved Lu Yiheng's irritability.
Lu Yiheng knew that Chen Xiaolin, this name has always had a special place in his heart. She is the white moonlight in his heart, pure and untouchable.
However, when he blatantly looked over at her, Chen Xiaolin immediately retracted her gaze, took a sip of her cocktail, and replied in a normal voice: "Occasionally, coming here can help me temporarily forget some of the pressure from work."
Lu Yiheng nodded. He could understand her feelings. After all, he came here because of pressure. And he actually needed someone to talk to, but he couldn't tell anyone about his relationship with Yang Wenqi, especially Chen Xiaolin.
He gently shook the glass of amber whiskey in front of him, and the ice cubes collided gently in it, making a slight sound. He then picked up the glass and took a sip of the wine, then turned to look at Chen Xiaolin, trying to find a topic to confide in in disguised form.
"I've been having some troubles at work recently." Lu Yiheng was vague and didn't reveal any specific details. "Sometimes, I really hope to find a place to forget everything for a while."
Chen Xiaolin glanced at him and said, "If you're willing, maybe I can provide a different perspective."
Lu Yiheng hesitated, but Chen Xiaolin's active listening made him a little shaken. He took a deep breath and began to talk about some of the challenges and confusions he had in his family work, although he avoided all the parts related to Yang Wenqi.
Chen Xiaolin listened carefully and nodded from time to time to show her understanding. "When facing a problem, the most important thing is to find a solution, not to escape." Her voice was calm and firm, which brought a little comfort to Lu Yiheng.
Lu Yiheng smiled bitterly, "Sometimes, problems seem unsolvable."
"Unsolvable problems often just require more time and different perspectives." Chen Xiaolin replied, her eyes revealing an unyielding strength, and then she praised sincerely. "Besides, I heard that your career is also booming now, you don't need to put so much pressure on yourself."
Lu Yiheng smiled bitterly, "It looks good on the surface, but only I know the pressure and challenges behind it."
Chen Xiaolin nodded gently, "Everyone's life has its difficulties. The key is how to face and solve them."
Lu Yiheng sighed, "You're right, but sometimes, I really don't know what to do."
Chen Xiaolin looked at him, a hint of understanding flashed in her eyes, "Although I don't know what specific problems you have encountered, I have always believed in your ability. I still remember your persistence and courage when you pursued me before."
Lu Yiheng was stunned. He didn't expect Chen Xiaolin to bring up the past. "Ms. Chen, I was too superficial back then and only cared about external conditions."
Chen Xiaolin shook her head gently, "No, you are not wrong. Everyone has their own selection criteria, and I don't blame you. Moreover, I have always believed that true love will not change because of background and conditions."
Lu Yiheng's heart moved. Chen Xiaolin's words made him re-examine his decision back then. Perhaps he really missed someone who was worth cherishing. However, he still couldn't guess Chen Xiaolin's true inner thoughts, so he didn't dare to act rashly like he did that night, but instead took indirect approaches step by step.
"Hyolin, I was indeed inconsiderate back then. If possible... I hope we can still be friends." Lu Yiheng said sincerely.
Chen Xiaolin looked at him for a moment, smiled slightly, raised her glass to him and said, "We have always been friends."
The conversation between the two continued in the relaxed atmosphere of the bar, and Lu Yiheng felt a long-lost warmth and comfort. Although he could not reveal his secrets to Chen Xiaolin, talking with her made him feel much better, especially, he also felt that Chen Xiaolin did not seem to be so repulsive to him.
But Chen Xiaolin's surprise for him was more than that...
