A Person with His Tail Between His Legs

After Mi Cai resolutely hung up on me, I no longer had any illusions about her. I still had to bear the consequences of my own sins.

Actually, it was perfectly normal for Mi Cai to be unwilling to come to the rescue. My threat of not letting me see her in Suzhou was truly unreasonable.

At my wit's end, I scratched my head. I really wanted to leave this bar. I didn't want to face Jian Wei and Xiang Chen from the bottom of my heart. This unwillingness was just to make myself feel better, but I couldn't escape tonight because escaping would only mean that I couldn't let Jian Wei go.

After just ten minutes, I saw four people walk into the bar. Fang Yuan and Yan Yan were in front, while Xiang Chen and Jian Wei were behind. The four of them were talking and laughing as they walked towards me. I wished I could find a hole to hide in.

Jian Wei was wearing Chanel and holding a new Hermes bag. She was so luxurious that I didn't dare to look at her directly. I quickly fixed my gaze on Yan Yan and Fang Yuan and lit a cigarette to hide my discomfort.

Yan Yan and Fang Yuan sat on the sofa on my left, Jian Wei and Xiang Chen sat on my right, and I remained in the middle.

Fang Yuan and Yan Yan looked around and asked me in unison, "Where's your girlfriend?"

"She's not free tonight. Let's play." I replied.

"Don't be a wet blanket," Yan Yan said unhappily. "Call her again. We'll be fine later."

I glared at Yan Yan and said, "Little stubborn girl, why are you arguing with me? If I say she's busy, then she's busy. Why are you so stubborn?"

"Don't f*cking talk nonsense. Hurry up and call your girlfriend. I want to see what my future sister-in-law looks like!" Fang Yuan kicked me.

Xiang Chen continued, "Zhao Yang, don't be such a wet blanket. We have to squeeze time out. Ask your girlfriend out to play. We're all old faces. It's boring to play!"

I looked at Jian Wei. At this time, deliberately keeping a distance from her would make it seem like I couldn't let go. I said, "I think it's exciting. I haven't seen Jian Wei for more than three years. The old faces have also become unfamiliar faces, right, Sister-in-law Jian Wei?"

Jian Wei, who had been silent since she came in, looked at me and asked, "What did you call me?"

When Jian Wei asked this question, the confident attitude I had deliberately put on earlier instantly collapsed. For a moment, I actually didn't know how to respond to Jian Wei's words.

Fang Yuan hurriedly helped me out of the predicament and said to Jian Wei, "Zhao Yang is right. Strictly speaking, you're his sister-in-law. When you get married to Xiang Chen, it'll be even more legitimate."

Jian Wei glanced at Fang Yuan and said, "What are you so agitated about? Did I say that he called me wrong? I didn't hear it clearly just now."

Fang Yuan smiled awkwardly. I remained silent. Xiang Chen hugged Jian Wei and whispered something into her ear that no one else could hear. However, this intimate action made my heart ache.

At this moment, I finally understood how Xiang Chen felt when Jian Wei and I were together and did intimate actions without any hesitation.

I picked up my beer and took a sip. I wanted to leave this place. I knew that as long as I still loved Jian Wei, this kind of gathering would be torture for me. However, in the eyes of Xiang Chen, Fang Yuan, and Yan Yan, I had already let go of Jian Wei. After all, more than two years had passed. After all, I had a new "girlfriend."

The waiter brought over the wine that Fang Yuan and the others had ordered. A few of them started drinking. Yan Yan leaned towards me and said softly, "Zhao Yang, Fang Yuan and I are really happy for you now that we know you have a girlfriend. We were worried that you wouldn't be able to let go of Jian Wei, but now it seems like our worries were unnecessary…"

I felt bitter in my heart. At this moment, even if everyone knew that I couldn't let go, so what? It was better to keep this lie and let his friends rest assured.

Yan Yan nudged the silent me and said, "Hurry up and call your girlfriend over and introduce her to us. In the future, we'll have another best friend to go shopping with!"

I squeezed out a smile and said, "Next time. She's swamped today!"

Yan Yan looked disappointed.

At this moment, almost all the gazes in the bar suddenly focused on a figure who was walking over leisurely. Her figure was so good, and her walking posture was even more gentle and graceful. It was just that I couldn't see her face clearly under the shaking lights, but this didn't prevent me from determining that she was a graceful beauty.

She walked towards me, and the light that kept shaking finally fell on her face, I was so shocked that I almost slipped off the sofa, who else could it be but Mi Cai! She was the only one who was so attractive and attracted so much attention.

Mi Cai noticed me and walked towards me gracefully. I quickly stood up and pulled her aside before she could walk in front of everyone. I lowered my voice and asked, "Why are you here?"

"Didn't you say that I shouldn't let you see me in Suzhou? I came to see what would happen if you saw me." Mi Cai said as she looked at the great being with a faint smile.

"So, you're here to look for trouble with me, not to help?" My face darkened.

Mi Cai looked at me and said, "You're the one who threatened me. How can you say that I'm looking for you? Now that I'm here, you can do it."

I was like a snake that had been strangled by Mi Cai. I was afraid that she would ruin my reputation in front of everyone. I had no choice but to soften my tone and say, "I said that out of anger. Don't hold it against me, okay?"

"Where did your arrogance go?" Mi Cai said disdainfully.

"Sister, I was wrong. I'll definitely behave myself in the future!"

"Are you begging for mercy?"

"I guess so."

"Beg again."

I felt a sense of powerlessness in my heart, but I couldn't resist. I could only grit my teeth and say, "I was wrong. I'll definitely behave myself in the future!"

"Zhao Yang, what are you whispering about? Hurry up and introduce your girlfriend to us." Fang Yuan shouted at me.

"Coming." I responded and asked Mi Cai, "Are you appeased now?"

Mi Cai didn't say anything, as if she was deliberately making me nervous. Only then did I realize how difficult it was to provoke this woman.

I lowered my voice again and said, "Say something!"

"Remember to buy the pesticide powder tomorrow. The cockroaches in the bathroom are as annoying as you!" After Mi Cai finished speaking, she walked toward the crowd before me.

I didn't react for a long time and was puzzled. Was she letting me off and saving me from danger?

Mi Cai sat down where I had just sat and greeted everyone. I then sat down beside her.

Yan Yan smiled and said, "Zhao Yang, you have good taste. Your girlfriend is awesome and super beautiful!"

"That's for sure! We're a perfect match! Let me formally introduce my girlfriend, Mi Cai." My tone was full of pride, but my heart was filled with anxiety. God knows what this woman who didn't play by the rules was up to.

"Hello, everyone." Mi Cai smiled and greeted everyone.

Fang Yuan, Yan Yan, and Xiang Chen introduced themselves to Mi Cai in order, and finally Jian Wei.

Mi Cai and Jian Wei looked at each other. They had the same indifferent expression, and I couldn't understand what they were thinking under their expressions.

"We met the other day." Jian Wei spoke first.

Mi Cai only nodded. Strictly speaking, she wasn't the kind of person who would be friendly with others. She was a little cold in front of strangers.

"I'm Jian Wei, Zhao Yang's ex-girlfriend."

We were all very open-minded people, so we weren't surprised that Jian Wei would introduce us like this. Besides, there was nothing to hide. If we made things clear, we would be more open when we got along in the future.

Mi Cai responded to Jian Wei with a polite smile and said, "Hello." She didn't say anything else, but the atmosphere turned cold because of her indifference.

Yan Yan began to liven up the atmosphere and asked Mi Cai, "When did you and Zhao Yang meet? He did a good job of keeping it a secret. We only found out yesterday!"

I looked at Mi Cai nervously. If she didn't expose me now, then today's gathering that made me uncomfortable would be safe.

"It's been a while." Mi Cai answered vaguely, but it was a flawless answer.

Yan Yan smiled and said, "We'll leave Zhao Yang to you in the future. He has a wild personality. You have to control him."

Mi Cai nodded, "I really do have to control him. He has a bad character!"

Yan Yan didn't react for a moment. She looked at Mi Cai and then at me with a puzzled expression.
