Chapter 449: 491, how about going to a hot spring together?

Wen Nansheng still went to the appointment.

That night, Lu Jingyi got drunk, and in the end, it was Wen Nansheng who personally escorted her home, carrying her through the doors.

Lu Changqing and Jiang Meiyi, seeing how much Lu Jingyi had drunk, naturally felt very distressed and couldn’t help but chide her a bit.

"Nansheng, thank you for bringing Jingyi home!"

"Uncle, Auntie, it’s getting late, I should head back now!"

After finishing his words, Wen Nansheng turned and left the Lu Family

Watching his receding figure, Jiang Meiyi couldn’t help but sigh.

Actually, in all fairness, Jiang Meiyi also thought that Wen Nansheng was a fine young man, with a good family background and character, and he had always been quite close to Lu Jingyi since they were young.

However, compared to Shen Yufeng... Wen Nansheng lacked that certain sharpness and dominance, appearing more cultured and genteel instead, as if devoid of any edges.

People always look to climb higher, wishing to pluck the flower atop the cliff, and thus often overlook other scenes. With Shen Yufeng standing as a benchmark, no matter how outstanding others are, they would probably fail to catch the eye.

After leaving the Lu Family in his car, Wen Nansheng felt very heavy-hearted.

For so many years, his feelings for Lu Jingyi had remained unchanged.

In fact, he wasn’t foolish, nor was he blind to Lu Jingyi’s admiration for Shen Yufeng.

He had seen it a long time ago; it was just that he couldn’t control his own heart.

Later on, when Lu Jingyi moved abroad with her family, he kept a watchful eye on her, sending her a gift every year on her birthday.

Although he never said anything... he thought she should understand his feelings.

But over all these years, she had never responded.

This time, Lu Jingyi returned home and said she wouldn’t leave again, which made him genuinely excited. That’s why he gathered everyone at Cui Ping Villa, which was also an indirect way to welcome Jingyi back and dust off her journey.

However, the day Shen Yufeng carried An Xiaoyu away, Lu Jingyi’s mood became very gloomy, and his heart... grew colder bit by bit.

Ultimately... the man she loved in her heart was still Shen Yufeng!

And tonight, when she suddenly called him out for drinks, he understood that she must have encountered something heartbreaking.

However, after arriving at the bar, she said nothing, just drinking one cup after another in a somber mood. It seemed she buried all her sorrows deep inside, that fragile yet pretentiously strong facade caused him immense heartache.

He didn’t need to ask to know for whom her sorrow was meant!

On one side was his good brother, on the other was the woman he adored; Wen Nansheng’s heart was as if being sliced by a sharp saw, bleeding and in agony.

He wanted to embrace her, desperately trying to comfort her, but he understood that what she wanted... was not his embrace.

That day at the bar, he didn’t touch a drop of alcohol, but after driving home, he drowned his sorrows in drink until he was thoroughly intoxicated.

The next day, when Wen Nansheng woke up, it was already noon.

He checked his phone and found a WeChat message from Lu Jingyi.

"Nansheng, thank you for keeping me company for so long last night, and... thank you for taking me home!"

The tender voice came through, and Wen Nansheng abruptly sat up as if revitalized.

He replied promptly: "Don’t be so formal, are we strangers?"

Very quickly, the phone rang again... this time, it was a call from Lu Jingyi.

Wen Nansheng’s heart skipped a beat, and he quickly picked up the phone.

"Jingyi, what’s up?"

Lu Jingyi smiled, "Do you have time this weekend?"

"For what?"

"Well, if you’re not too busy, how about we go to the hot springs together?"

"That’s..." Wen Nansheng hesitated for a moment, "I shouldn’t have any plans!"

On the other end, Lu Jingyi chuckled, "Alright then, that’s settled. Oh, and... could you ask Shen Yufeng as well?"

Instantly, the joy on Wen Nansheng’s face froze.
