This time, it was Mengxi's first kiss on the corner of her lips. She was momentarily stunned, staring blankly at Mengxi, tears streaming down her cheeks and dripping onto the pillow. Mengxi's heart twisted painfully, yet he still smiled at her and said, "Good night, Xie Yan." She gazed at Mengxi in a daze, unable to stop the tears from flowing. However, Mengxi no longer looked at her and got up to walk into the bathroom. He heard her suppressed sobs, and his heart felt as if it were being tightly squeezed, almost suffocating him. But Mengxi had no other choice.
On Cheng Sheng's birthday, we threw him a party. The venue was set at his usual club, which had a large suite where we could sing, drink, and enjoy hot springs. Cheng Sheng was truly a wealthy playboy; his family was rich, and he knew how to make money himself, so he was well-connected in the circle. Our group met once a week; whenever there was good news, we celebrated it, and even if there wasn't any good news, we made up reasons to celebrate.
Everyone was in sync; no one mentioned Mengxi's upcoming marriage until...
"Hey, Mr.Meng is here."
" Mr.Meng, it's rare to see you at a gathering."
"Who is that beautiful lady next to Mr.Meng?"
Everyone chimed in with playful remarks. Mengxi walked in alongside Lu Qian and raised his hand to signal for everyone to be quiet. "Let me introduce you all; this is my fiancée, Lu Qian."
After speaking, Mengxi took Lu Qian to the sofa and sat down. Unfortunately, sitting across from them were Xie Yan and Cheng Sheng. Everyone congratulated, " Mr.Meng and Goddess Lu have finally come together." "You two are a perfect match, congratulations!" The congratulatory voices echoed, each one piercing Xie Yan's heart. Mengxi could sense her discomfort but remained unfazed.
Mengxi wrapped his arm around Lu Qian as they sat down, and Cheng Sheng whistled, teasing, " Mr.Meng, you finally brought your girlfriend out to meet people." Mengxi smiled lightly and ignored him. Lu Qian graciously accepted everyone's attention, occasionally leaning closer to Mengxi. When he turned to look at her, she flashed him a sweet smile.
Everyone began to tease that Mengxi was showing off their affection. The lively atmosphere of the party did not affect Xie Yan; she sat alone in a corner, quietly sipping her drink. Cheng Sheng whispered something in her ear, but she did not react. Mengxi shifted his gaze and chatted with others.
Someone suggested playing Truth or Dare, and everyone agreed to play. When it was Lu Qian's turn, she chose Truth. They asked when Mengxi and Lu Qian would get married. Mengxi instinctively glanced at Xie Yan; she was looking down at her drink, making it hard to see her expression. Mengxi frowned slightly and was about to speak when Lu Qian already said, "On the eighteenth of next month." "Wow, congratulations!"
" Mr.Meng, your speed is too fast."
Congratulations echoed around as everyone began to toast.
Lu Qian had a good tolerance for alcohol, but she couldn't withstand everyone's insistence. Mengxi protected her and said coldly, "Alright, if you want to drink, save it for the wedding. Qianqian can't drink too much today."
Everyone laughed, but they let Lu Qian off the hook.
Xie Yan remained quietly seated, as if nothing had happened.
Until...
"Clatter—"
The wine glass in her hand suddenly slipped and fell to the ground, shattering instantly.
The crisp sound stood out sharply in the lively atmosphere, drawing everyone's attention.
Mengxi's expression darkened.
Xie Yan was taken aback for a moment, then waved her hand and awkwardly explained, "I'm sorry, I got too excited hearing the gossip and slipped."
