The door of the VIP room opened again. Zuo Hancheng walked out and rubbed his eyebrows.
The CEO of a certain corporation came out to greet him and asked if he wanted to go back and join everyone. Zuo Hancheng smiled and refused. At the same time, he looked at the time.
Although he had to drink a lot of alcohol with his friends in the industry for various reasons, even mixing white wine, beer, and foreign wine together, he was still worried about the phone call from an hour ago.
After walking out of the VIP room and the venue, he was far away from the hustle and bustle of the venue, but his head hurt even more.
Zuo Hancheng took out his phone and glanced at it. He was about to call the previous number again when he reached the fork in the corridor outside. A gust of damp wind blew in through the window and he staggered and leaned against the window.
He frowned. It had been a long time since he had drunk so much. Moreover, it was so much white wine.
He raised his hand and rubbed his forehead again, planning to calm down for a while before leaving.
Just as Zuo Hancheng was hesitating whether he should call his little wife at this time of the night to make sure that she was safe, he suddenly heard the sound of high heels stepping on the ground in front of him. She was approaching him step by step.
The moment he lifted his black eyes, he met Rong Xue’s drunken gaze. Zuo Hancheng’s cold and dark eyes did not waver even a little when she approached. However, when Rong Xue was about to approach, his handsome eyebrows furrowed slightly.
“Hancheng, did you drink too much?” Rong Xue was obviously drunk, but she asked him with a smile as she approached him.
Yes, he had drunk too much, but at least he could still stay awake.
Zuo Hancheng City didn’t answer, only saw Rong Xue wearing very thin, walking out, now still cold, spring, outside the venue, the walkwvay outside is very cold, outside the window, carrying the cold freezing rain, the wind blowing in, Zuo Hancheng even wearing a windbreaker jacket can also feel a bit cool.
“How can we drive back like this? Do you want me to ask the people from Tiansheng to arrange a suite for you in this hotel?”Rong Xue acted as if nothing had happened. She just smiled and walked over to him to show her concern.
“No need. I’ll be fine after a while of cold wind.”Zuo Hancheng raised his hand and gently clenched it into a fist, placing it on his forehead to support his head, which was indeed hurting a little, from continuing to feel dizzy.
Rong Xue seemed to have thought it through. It was best to maintain a polite relationship between people before they completely fell out with each other. Faced with Rong Xue’s pure and caring attitude, Zuo Hancheng’s indifference gradually decreased.
“The cold wind blows through the sky.” Rong Xue suddenly looked at the window behind him and said,””l’ve been exposed to the cold wind for so many years, but I still haven’t woken up…l told myself a thousand times that you, Zuo Hancheng, are actually a heartless man. Three years ago, I even impulsively booked a plane ticket in the middle of the night to come to China to look for you because I missed you. That night was very cold, the coldest night in the history of Los Angeles. They pulled me back and told me not to be impulsive…”
” I filled the bathtub with ice cubes. I lay in the ice cubes and told myself that I would rather die from the cold than be impulsive…
“But I’m still not awake…” Rong Xue looked at him quietly.”” I love you too deeply. It’s so deep that I’d rather change myself into someone who’s no longer like me to snatch you back…”
“Cold City…How innocent I am…lf I hadn’t entered the entertainment industry back then, Grandpa wouldn’t have hated me so much…But at that time, I was clean from head to toe at least…Yet, he hated her…
But he pushed me into the abyss…But… I should hate you, but I’ve always loved you so disappointingly…”
“I’m just unwilling…” Rong Xue laughed as she spoke, but as she laughed, tears fell from her eyes.”l’ve worked hard for so many years. I once wanted fame and fortune, but I was so obsessed that I even neglected the most important things around me. After that, I finally realized that I had lost something. I climbed up step by step until I could barely stand shoulder to shoulder with you. I came to you with a victorious attitude, thinking that you would look at me in a different light…”
“But…Yet you hate me so much…” Rong Xue smiled as tears rolled down her face. She looked at Zuo Hancheng’s sober eyes even though he had too much to drink. She looked at his face that she had wanted to get close to in her dreams. She looked at his arms and chest that no longer belonged to her. She smiled weakly.
“Do I really not even have the qualification to possess you after missing out on these five years…”
Zuo Hancheng did not say anything. He just looked at the woman who was crying and laughing in silence. He did not say a word about the past.
“You’re really heartless. I’ve seen it five years ago. Now, it makes me realize even more clearly how good the man I’ve loved for so many years is. He’s so good that if I accidentally lose him, I’ll never be able to get him back…”
As Rong Xue spoke, she staggered to Zuo Hancheng. She was only two to three centimeters away from his chest. When she breathed, she could almost touch his arms. However, she just stood there and looked up at him.
“I don’t dare to approach you anymore…” She looked at his face in a daze. Her eyes were red, but she smiled and said,”The moment I move closer, you will push me away…”
“Is it because you won’t push me away if you keep a certain distance like this?
Hancheng, how can I accept you like this…”
“You drank too much.” Zuo Hancheng looked at her calmly. He did not push her away, nor did he reach out to touch her. He just leaned against the window and endured the headache from being drunk.
“You drank too much, but you’re still very sober, aren’t you?”Rong Xue looked at his face. As Zuo Hancheng frowned, a cold wind blew past the window beside them. There was even rain falling from the window onto her shoulders.
Rong Xue shivered from the cold. Zuo Hancheng glanced at her but did not say anything. He raised his hand to close the window.
Rong Xue’s eyes were red.” If it was in the past, you would definitely lend me your coat like a gentleman.” Now, you’ve even let go of the gentlemanly manners you received in America since you were young. You’re just looking at me shivering in the cold…Not to mention a hug, you’re even stingy with giving me a coat…”
“I’m sorry.” Zuo Hancheng remained silent.”
Rong Xue laughed out loud when she heard the apology. Compared to the calmness earlier, she suddenly leaned into his arms and looked up at him.””Cold City…Did you give all your passion to Gu Anhao? What was I when we were together? You’re so stingy with even a kiss..”
