Chapter 98 - 98 You Are Not Her
98 You Are Not Her
Jing Yan did not want to drink this glass of wine, but he did not know why he couldn’t control his body today, as if it did not listen to his command.
He clearly remembered that he was going home, but now he was sitting here drinking with He Wei and Mu Xiao for no reason.
Seeing that the glass had been handed to him by Mu Xiao, his hand disobeyed his orders and picked up the glass and drank it in one go.
Mu Xiao was excited when he saw him drinking so freely. “Brother Yan, it’s best to drink with you. We have the beautiful He Wei with us today. We can finally have fun!”
He Wei smiled sweetly and looked at Jing Yan with adoration. “Jing Yan, let’s drink slowly. We haven’t had a good talk together in a long time.”
Mu Xiao’s eyes sneakily scanned the two of them, then he poured a glass of wine for He Wei as well. He smiled evilly and said, “Weiwei, do you miss my Brother Yan?”
“Don’t talk nonsense.” He Wei glared at him reproachfully, but anyone could see the secret joy in her eyes.
Mu Xiao was well aware of this, but he was also happy to see it happen.
After all, He Miao had personally said that she wanted to call off the engagement between herself and Jing Yan. Now that Jing Yan did not have a fiancee and was a free man, he could not bear to reject a beautiful woman throwing herself at him.
He Wei was beautiful and was a popular female star in the entertainment industry. Who would not drool at the sight of her?
Mu Xiao looked at Jing Yan with a sneaky smile. He did not believe that this guy could remain calm!
He Wei gently refilled Jing Yan’s glass and said with a smile, “Jing Yan, what have you been busy with recently? I heard from Mu Xiao that you’re always in a hurry to go home at night. Did something happen at home?”
He Wei wanted to find out more about his night activities. She had always felt that something was amiss. Jing Yan used to drink and have fun with Mu Xiao and his brothers until late at night. Why did he not like to go out after his car accident?
She was worried that this matter was really related to He Miao. Otherwise, how could their relationship have suddenly improved by leaps and bounds?
However, He Wei really could not find any substantial evidence. She could only ask around, hoping to find some clues.
Jing Yan watched as his cup was held by a pair of slender and fair hands. His eyes moved up along the fair arms and saw He Wei’s exquisitely made-up face, which was extremely beautiful with every frown and smile.
At this moment, there was a pair of affectionate eyes embedded in that face. He could see it clearly, but he was not moved for a moment.
This face was good in every way, but it was not the face he wanted to see.
Jing Yan’s body seemed to have regained some control. He looked at the time and saw that there was less than half an hour left before he turned into an Onion.
He stood up abruptly and met their surprised gazes. There was no emotion in his cold eyes. “I’ll be leaving first. You guys have fun.”
Mu Xiao stood up in disbelief. Was this person not drinking quite freely just now? Why did he suddenly turn hostile?
He Wei stared at his back in a daze. She bit her lower lip and looked aggrieved.
Mu Xiao quickly consoled her, “Forget it, don’t be sad. Brother Yan has indeed been acting strange recently. Maybe something really happened at home. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be missing at night!”
He Wei was getting more and more flustered. She was very busy with filming, and it was rare for her to find time to improve her relationship with Jing Tan, but Jing Yan did not even notice her.
The way he looked at her just now was as if he was looking at someone else through her.
Sometimes, a woman’s intuition was terrifyingly accurate. She was almost certain that Jing Yan’s recent strangeness was related to He Miao!
After leaving the restaurant, Jing Yan furrowed his brows and rubbed his throbbing temples. His alcohol tolerance was not bad, so he would not get drunk after just one glass.
However, he was really too abnormal today. Ever since he saw He Wei, his head had been dizzy, and now his head was hurting badly.
He hailed a taxi and sat in it. He leaned his head back on the seat and gave an address in a daze.
The car sped through the night and quickly stopped at their destination.
After Jing Yan paid and got out of the car, he saw a strange yet familiar residential building. He suddenly realized that he had unconsciously told the driver He Miao’s home address.
He lowered his head and laughed bitterly. He did not know if it was because he was used to having He Miao by his side every night or because of some other reason, but he knew that if he did not see He Miao for a moment, he would feel as terrible as a drowning person who had lost his breath.
