"She should have arrived by now." Xing Chen glanced at the various people bustling around the venue, a deep light of curiosity flashing in his eyes.
Separating, naturally, was to avoid easily recognizing each other.
He was somewhat looking forward to seeing what she would be like tonight.
He had seen so many versions of her - sometimes quirky, sometimes calm and collected, sometimes brilliantly clever...
What identity would she appear with?
Lou Xining didn’t miss the anticipation and longing in Xing Chen’s eyes.
He himself wore a deep blue half-mask, took a sip of champagne, and sighed, "If Xinyu knew how much you loved Little Sister-in-law, she would probably cry her eyes out again."
Sometimes, being an outsider, perhaps the inner heaviness is the hardest to let go of.
On one side is his brother, on the other side is his sister.
He could only stay out of it, watching everything unfold with open eyes.
Lou Xining felt a slight loneliness inside.
Listening to Lou Xining’s words, Xing Chen’s sharp brows raised.
Of course, he automatically filtered out the mention of Xinyu; he only heard Lou Xining say...
Does he love Ran Xiangsi?
"Why do you say I love her?"
This question made Xing Chen become somewhat sensitive.
Lou Xining seemed to have heard a joke, seeing the seriousness in Xing Chen’s question, he thought Xing Chen was being shy.
After all, for a grown man, constantly talking about love would seem a bit low.
"Your eyes and heart are all filled with Little Sister-in-law, right? If you don’t see her for a day, you’ll think about her, right? Always wanting to help her, always wanting to keep her by your side, right?" Lou Xining listed several ’proofs’ of loving her and still eyed Xing Chen, "Look, look, when you’re looking at me or anyone else, your eyes are so cold. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on ɴo(v)elFɪre.ɴet
But when you look at Little Sister-in-law, those little eyes are full of countless love! You can’t deny it; a person’s eyes can’t hide their feelings. I’m a professional; I guessed it the first time I saw you pinning Little Sister-in-law to the car next to the hotel!"
While Lou Xining rattled on, Xing Chen silently listened.
Seldom so serious, Xing Chen’s right hand unconsciously swirled the crimson liquid in his glass, waves spreading in circles, as if the heart also rippled along.
So, in others’ eyes, he already loved Ran Xiangsi this much?
Was it his acting too good? Or... was it just his true nature shining through?
He was unsure, at least not entirely certain yet.
Xing Chen’s silence for a moment made Lou Xining think that he completely disbelieved him, and then he leaned closer, chuckling ambiguously, "And the most direct point! You don’t seem like someone with a chaotic personal life.
I heard you haven’t been with a woman for all these years?
So, the first time you saw Little Sister-in-law, did you uncontrollably want to kiss her? Young man, physical impulses sometimes come more directly than thoughts."
These words... hammered directly at all of Xing Chen’s doubts!
These years, indeed, he had no interest in other women.
Otherwise, when Ping Le discovered possible traces of Ran Xiangsi in his room that time, she wouldn’t have been so excited...
