At the Blues Bar, the lights were still dim and ambiguous, and the deafening and exciting DJ music filled the air.
Ai Yue and Luo Yishan were sitting at the bar, sipping their drinks one by one.
Actually, Ai Yue didn't think she was unlucky because of the car accident, nor did she feel unlucky for getting covered in blood while saving a child.
She just felt a bit down after experiencing the car accident and the life - and - death situation of the child. She always felt a little uncomfortable.
Suddenly, someone sat down beside her. Ai Yue said impatiently, "I don't have WeChat or a mobile number. Don't bother."
"Heh." A low and cold laugh made Ai Yue look up instantly. She saw the person beside her clearly. It was Ling Qianchen? Why was it him? Should she say it was fate that they met everywhere, or should she say he was like a sticky plaster?
No, she didn't want to say anything. She shifted her gaze to her glass, raised it and drank it all in one gulp, completely ignoring the person beside her.
Ling Qianchen didn't know what he had done to make her unhappy. But seeing her like this, he didn't know what to say either. He just quietly accompanied her, sitting there and looking at her.
Lu Ziyan winked at Luo Yishan beside him and tilted his chin in the direction of the two. Luo Yishan unceremoniously rolled her eyes at him.
"What? Why are you making eyes at me? I don't like guys like you. If I had to like someone, it would be a successful man like President Ling. Who doesn't like such a man?" Luo Yishan's voice was a bit loud. Ai Yue couldn't even block it out if she wanted to.
Lu Ziyan snorted, "Humph, you have some nerve. Our President Ling is already taken. You can forget about it."
The two of them were joking around, trying to liven up the atmosphere. But Ai Yue seemed to be immersed in her own world, ignoring everything around her.
Receiving a signal from Lu Ziyan, Luo Yishan called out to Ai Yue a couple of times. Seeing that she didn't respond, she directly snatched the glass from Ai Yue's hand.
"What?" came a flat, emotionless voice.
"Ai Ai, look at you. You seem like you're lovesick. Don't tell me you've broken up?" Luo Yishan asked, feigning curiosity.
Ai Yue rolled her eyes and mercilessly retorted, "To break up, you have to be in a relationship first. Unlike you, who doesn't even have a boyfriend."
It was really hurtful, wasn't it? Was she being too much?
Luo Yishan dramatically covered her heart and said in an exaggerated tone, "Ai Ai, how could you say that? No, I'm not convinced. I can't stand it. Dare you have a competition with me?"
Without even giving her a look, Ai Yue ordered another drink and still replied indifferently, "Compete in what? When have you ever beaten me?"
This was a double - whammy! Could they still be sisters?
Luo Yishan thought for a while and pointed at the swaying men and women on the dance floor. "This. Dance battle. I don't believe I'll lose to you in everything."
Without saying a word, Ai Yue drank the newly - mixed drink in one gulp, stood up from the bar, and looked in the direction of the dance floor.
"Fine, as you wish. Arrange it."
Luo Yishan immediately went to make arrangements. She cleared the dance floor and the DJ changed the music.
As the explosive music started, the two of them danced vigorously on the dance floor, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
Ling Qianchen saw the looks from other men on Ai Yue and suddenly felt jealous. This was the woman he liked, his future soulmate. All her beauty and everything about her should be exclusive to him.
Suddenly, Ling Qianchen stepped onto the dance floor. Under everyone's astonished gazes, he naturally and domineeringly took Ai Yue's hand. The music then changed to a duet dance.
Ai Yue had no choice but to go with the flow.
Although it was their first time dancing together, they had an extraordinary understanding.
"Ooh, great!"
There were cheers from outside the dance floor.
Seeing the excited audience below, Ai Yue got an idea. During the dance, she kept making small moves to tease Ling Qianchen.
This drew another round of cheers from the audience, while Ling Qianchen unexpectedly blushed, seemingly a bit embarrassed.
When the song ended, Ai Yue naturally won. She wasn't in the mood to stay in the bar any longer and went straight back.
In the dim room, there was not a single ray of light. The person on the bed was curled up under the quilt. Under the moonlight, one could faintly see a layer of sweat on the face.
"Ah!" Yuan Meng let out a startled cry and suddenly sat up in bed, gasping for breath.
Whew, she had just had a nightmare. The content was really terrifying. She turned on the bedside lamp, got out of bed, put on her slippers, and walked all the way to the living room. She didn't know what she was thinking, but she picked up the remote control and turned on the TV.
She just seemed to want to hear some sounds, some sounds that could prove she wasn't the only one here.
Upstairs, the person sleeping in the room wasn't sound asleep yet. A burst of noisy sounds woke him up.
He frowned, got out of bed, and opened the door. He saw the person in the living room downstairs.
He walked downstairs impatiently and stood at the stairs, asking coldly, "Why aren't you sleeping in the middle of the night? What are you up to?"
Yuan Meng seemed to just react. She turned her head mechanically. After seeing Ling Qianchen, her expression immediately fell.
"Woohoo, hubby, hubby, you're back. I just had a nightmare. Woohoo, it was so scary. I dreamed that I was the only one left at home. Uncle the butler and everyone else were gone. I was so scared. I kept shouting, but I could only hear my own echo. And strange things would always happen. Hubby, do you think there are ghosts in this world?" Yuan Meng seemed extremely scared. Seeing Ling Qianchen was like seeing a savior, and she directly threw herself at him.
Ling Qianchen stood there. He didn't know if he didn't have time to dodge or if he was soft - hearted, but he was hugged tightly by Yuan Meng.
Looking at Yuan Meng's tearful and pitiful appearance, and thinking of how he had seen her sitting alone on the sofa with a pillow in her arms when he looked down from upstairs just now.
His heart, which had never changed towards Yuan Meng, suddenly softened for some reason.
He gently patted Yuan Meng's back. "It's okay. It's just a dream. Dreams are always the opposite. Nothing will happen."
Yuan Meng felt all the hairs on her body stand on end. Oh my god, what was Ling Qianchen doing? Was he, comforting her?
This was even scarier than having a nightmare.
The next morning, Yuan Meng got up early. She sat at the dining table, across from Ling Qianchen. Her big eyes stared directly at Ling Qianchen. "Hubby, eat this. Hubby, you were so nice to me yesterday. Hubby..."
Ling Qianchen thought he was stupid. He shouldn't have been soft - hearted. Well, here came the retribution. Hearing the person across from him call him hubby one after another, he really couldn't stand it anymore and quickly slipped away.
Finally, she was alone at home again. It felt like the whole world had become extremely quiet. But within three seconds, the phone rang. Seeing the word "mother - in - law" on the screen, Yuan Meng really wanted to hang up.
