"He did what?" Han Yizhou asked in surprise.
Lu ngjie told him everything she knew after she cald down. Just like she thought, he was clueless about what happened back then. He didn't know what his other self did to her. Just how many more things was Yong Liwei keeping from Han Yizhou?
"That can't be…" He ran his fingers through his hair as he tried to process the information he received. "He must have a reason behind it. I know him, he won't do sothing like that unless…"
"It's for your sake," she finished. "He once saw as a hindrance, Yizhou, you knew that." She held his hand and lightly squeezed it. "That's why I want to hear everything from him. His real reason. The truth, Yizhou. I want the truth. My mories are just one side. I want to know his side."
"But he won't co out. He has blocked too."
She sighed heavily. It was not like she knew what to do to bring him out. Yong Liwei may have apologized to her but how could she forgive him if he was running away like this? She was already willing to forgive him and yet… he only made her mad again by switching back to Han Yizhou! "I really want to beat you right now." She was supposed to be mad at him but knowing that his situation was quite complicated, her fiery feelings began to subside.
"I'm sorry, ngjie."
"You shouldn't be the one apologizing." She gently rubbed his knuckles with her thumb. She should be glad that Han Yizhou was there but why was she feeling heavy and at the sa ti guilty? The words Yong Liwei said before he switched out stabbed her right through her heart.
"I missed you…" He stared at her with a gentle gaze. "I'm sorry I left."
She shook her head. "You've been here with the whole ti… through Yong Liwei," she corrected. Even with different personalities, she saw them as one. Yong Liwei or Han Yizhou, she didn't care. They both belonged to one body, the man she married and loved. Half was good and half was bad.
"But… you sent a divorce letter."
Lu ngjie ended up blinking a few tis, puzzled. "Eh?"
The mory just entered. It was as if Yong Liwei showed him that certain part of mory. "I'll understand if you don't want to—"
"Ah! That!" She quickly cut him off. Guess Yong Liwei was still there, watching from behind the scenes. "I-I was just teasing Yong Liwei!" She said as an excuse. "Those were not real divorce papers. I was just really angry at him."
The man couldn't help but sigh in relief. He really was scared for a second there when he saw the mory.
Knock knock.
Their attention was caught by the knock on the door. It was then that Monica entered to remind her of her eting.
"I'll see you at ho." She kissed his cheek before she finally released his hand.
"I'll pick you up later instead."
She nodded then grinned. "Dinner date?"
"Dinner date it is."
…
Shortly after Tian Ruyi's shooting in Dachang, she flew back to Beijing and as she did, she directly headed to one of the best-known clubs in the place, a club that Bai Jingye's brother, Bai Zichen usually visited.
Colorful lights filled the place and loud, lively music filled the place. So known faces were in the place and all ca from rich families. She disliked attending these kinds of places but for the sake of her assignnt, she needed to. She went to the second floor and sat at the vacant table that overviewed the whole first floor. It was easier for her to spot her target from all the crowds in the place.
Tian Ruyi was wearing a black long-sleeve turtleneck skater mini dress. She paired it up with knee-high leather boots. Her breast-length hair was styled into wavy curls. She had put on darker makeup that gave her an impression of elegant super chic.
Her job was to lure Bai Zichen by using her charms. If it was to save her best friend from Bai Keran's clutches, she was willing to do whatever it takes even if that was to seduce his brother. It was the plan that Lu ngjie discussed with her. They couldn't hire soone else to do it since it could backfire on that person so Tian Ruyi decided to take on the role. She was a trustworthy ally and she also knew in herself that she would never fall for a man like Bai Zichen.
While waiting for her target's arrival, another man caught her attention. Si Hongqi. She knew him from the stories that Lu ngjie shared with her. He was her friend's childhood friend. She was puzzled to see why he was there. Was he the type to party around? Or was he there to et soone? Either way, it was none of her business. But… should she tell Lu ngjie about this?
She took out her phone from her sling bag and decided to ssage her friend.
[Tian Ruyi: I saw your friend. Si Hongqi. He's here at XxXx Club.]
She even attached a photo as proof.
[ngng: What's he doing there?]
[Tian Ruyi: I don't know. Do you want to greet him for you?]
She returned her gaze to the man and this ti, she saw him drinking. He was quick to gulp down the alcoholic beverage he had before he ordered for one again so Tian Ruyi decided to add in her ssage:
[Tian Ruyi: He looks like he's having a big problem. He's getting himself drunk.]
[ngng: Yiyi, can I ask you a favor?]
[Tian Ruyi: You're already asking, aren't you? You want to keep an eye on him.]
[ngng: And make sure no one tries to take advantage of him.]
[Tian Ruyi: He's a man, ngng.]
[ngng: He's handso. There are so many hungry ladies out there who would want to hit on a handso and kind-hearted man like him!]
[Tian Ruyi: Ugh. Just so you know, I'm trying to make my move against Bai Zichen.]
[ngng: Postpone it and do it tomorrow. Right now, your priority is Sisi.]
