Astonishment flashed in Lan Chu's clear eyes.
The little hand that was rubbing his forehead froze, and he didn't come back to his senses for a while. He just stared at the man in a daze...
Bai Jingchen's frown slowly relaxed.
He lowered his eyes and looked at the girl, and when he saw that pretty face, his heartstrings were violently plucked.
"Chu'er..." He murmured unconsciously.
Lan Chu was brought back to her senses by him, her eyes dodged for a moment, she turned around and tried to run away in embarrassment.
But Bai Jingchen suddenly held her wrist and said, "Chu'er!"
The girl was caught by the man. She had no choice but to stop but did not turn around. Her petite body was slightly stiff.
She pursed her pink lips lightly and said, "Young Master Bai, please respect yourself."
Hearing this cold and distant voice, Bai Jingchen held the girl's hand and her fingertips trembled violently.
"You..." His breath was stagnant.
I wanted to ask her how she was doing these past few years, why she came to the bar, and what was the relationship between the boy who accompanied her and her, but I couldn't ask any of the questions.
"Mr. Bai." Lan Chu lightly opened her pink lips again.
The voice that sounded soft and waxy had a rare sense of alienation and coolness, making it feel familiar yet strange.
Bai Jingchen still held her wrist, "Chu'er, do you have to treat me like this?"
Hearing this, Lan Chu's eyes suddenly turned red.
The eyes were sour, and gradually a little mist filled them. He didn't make a sound for a long time, but he still didn't turn around...
It wasn't that she had to treat him this way.
She used to love sticking to him the most, coquettishly calling Brother Jing to act like a spoiled brat. When they were childhood sweethearts, she would brazenly ask him to marry her and go home, leaving her most shameless side to him.
but…
Lan Chu raised her face slightly, sniffed to hold back her tears, "Young Master Bai, what kind of attitude should I have towards an ex who has terminated my engagement?"
Lan Xinmei's box is in the corridor perpendicular to here.
She happened to go outside to pick up her friend. When she passed by, she heard the two people arguing and stopped.
"Miss Lan?" The person beside her looked at her doubtfully.
Lan Xinmei smiled softly, "Director Li, you can go to the box to play with them first. I have some things that need to be dealt with."
The man called Director Li nodded in agreement.
Lan Xinmei watched his back until the man entered the box, then quietly walked to the corridor on Lan Chu's side, leaning against the wall and eavesdropping on their conversation...
Hearing Lan Chu's heartless words, Bai Jingchen's heart was suddenly pinched.
The big palm holding the girl's wrist slowly loosened, but when he glanced slightly, he suddenly found that she was still wearing the sapphire and diamond bracelet on her bright wrist, and a trace of luck came to his heart.
Bai Jingchen tugged at her lips, "Since we are exes, what does it mean that Miss Lan is still wearing this bracelet?"
Hearing this, Lan Chu frowned slightly.
She glanced down at her wrist. The sapphire and diamond bracelet was stolen by Bai Jingchen and given to her at the risk of having her legs broken when she heard that it symbolized the young lady of the Bai family.
This is the last thing Lan Chu has related to Bai Jingchen after he was expelled from the imperial capital...
Lan Chu's fingertips were slightly cold, and the coldness spread along his arms to his heart, which made him feel painful.
She suddenly turned around and was about to reply to Bai Jingchen, but suddenly she saw the pretty figure behind the man...
Lan Xinmei didn't know when she appeared in the corridor, standing behind Bai Jingchen, looking at them with a soft smile.
