His Breathtaking and Shimmering Light Chapter 549 - Lu Yanchen Will Not Disappoint You (19)

When s.h.i.+ Guang returned, her mood was rather sour. When Qian Xun asked her to drink, she no longer held herself back as she went cup after cup, totally forgetting how much she had drunk.

At the start, her face merely felt a little hot and flushed. But by the time they paid for the bill, she was all dazed. Furthermore, coupled with how sake kicked in slower than other alcohol, s.h.i.+ Guang laid down on the bed lazily and did not want to get up at all.

Qian Xun held her cheek and looked at s.h.i.+ Guang with a ravis.h.i.+ng, devilish smile. “Littly, don’t tell me that… you’re drunk?”

s.h.i.+ Guang fondled her glabella. “Nopey nopes! I’m clear awake!”

The kick of the sake had yet to affect her completely just yet.

“It’s really fun being with you. Me… I don’t really have many friends.” Probably because Qian Xun drank a little more as well, she was feeling more talkative. But of course, she was sober.

It was just that s.h.i.+ Guang felt way more amicable than usual, and she really felt like she wanted to connect more with this girl.

“Ever since I entered s...o...b..z, I was left with even fewer friends. All of those people were double-faced and honestly… I can’t even be bothered to deal with them most of the time. In any case, no matter what I do, they will always just think that I got to where I am by sleeping with men. Acting all friendly with me while avoiding me on the sly, afraid of being too close to me as though it’s going to affect them or whatnot… F*ck these blind people! If I really wanted to play with their rules, would I still be smeared on the internet as I am right now?”

In reality, Qian Xun truly did not do anything that was out there for anyone to talk about. Most of the posts were conjectures and speculations.

s.h.i.+ Guang chuckled out, “If you don’t mind, we’re friends from now on then! Those people on the internet? Just ignore them! Most of them are fake accounts and were paid to smear you. You’re a good woman and I really like you too. It’s a pity I only have a sister and not a brother; otherwise, I would definitely have him try to court you. But, I doubt you’d fall for my brother if I had one anyway.”

“Haha, it’ll be nice being sisters-in-law with you,” Qian Xun said as she pinched out at s.h.i.+ Guang’s pet.i.te face. “Go take someone as your brother in the future then. Based on what I want as a husband, find someone like that to make him your brother!”

s.h.i.+ Guang was laughing out with tears, “Don’t you already have a boyfriend?”

“Who?”

“s.h.i.+ Ze.”

Qian Xun waved it off. “That was someone chosen for me by my family. I have no feelings toward him.”

s.h.i.+ Guang sat up and said with a straight face, “If you don’t like him, why would you want to marry him? Marriage should be out of love.”

Qian Xun curled her lips in exasperation. “Littly silly, there are way too few couples who are married in this world out of love, do you know that?”

s.h.i.+ Guang blinked her eyes and fell back onto the bed, succ.u.mbing to the alcohol as her eyelids and head both felt so heavy… she was so tired!

Qian Xun chuckled out bitterly, “I once fancied a man, really really, truly so. However, he left me nothing but pain.”

“He cheated on you? Abandoned you?” That was s.h.i.+ Guang’s first guess at a couple’s pain.

“Cheating? To me, that means nothing at all.”

If it’s not cheating, what could that be?

s.h.i.+ Guang was curious. “Then what was it that had you lose the most important person in this world to you?”

She suddenly thought of her sister and that random thought.

Qian Xun chuckled out bitterly without replying s.h.i.+ Guang’s question or continuing on that topic.

“It’s getting late now. Let’s get you back to our hotel.”

s.h.i.+ Guang stood up, somewhat lost and clearly stumbling. Each step she took felt as though she was about to fly off.

With a single misstep, she nearly even fell over if not for Qian Xun’s support at the side.
