Looking at the empty square and road, Mu Jiangfeng's heart felt as desolate as the land around him.
Suddenly, his phone rang, displaying that familiar number.
"Hello, I'm really busy right now and not in a good mood. I don't have the energy to deal with your nonsense! If you have something to say, just say it!"
Mu Jiangfeng answered the call, not wanting to chat too much with Mu Jiao'er. If it weren't for her suggestion, he wouldn't have ended up in such a pitiful state, filled only with regret.
"Today is the third; shouldn't we meet as agreed? Master Mu won't forget about our appointment, will he? If you forget me again, I won't let you off easily!" On the other end of the line, Mu Jiao'er’s voice remained bright and teasing, seemingly in a good mood.
"No need. I'm not free today." Mu Jiangfeng firmly rejected her; he didn't have the energy to deal with Mu Jiao'er’s matters.
"Don't forget we're in the same boat! Just because you're busy doesn't mean you can skip out! Mu Jiangfeng, I advise you not to be too willful!" Mu Jiao'er sounded quite displeased at being rejected and reminded him without holding back.
Seeing that Mu Jiangfeng neither hung up nor spoke, Mu Jiao'er continued, "The usual place; come over now! I'll be waiting for you there!"
After hanging up, Mu Jiangfeng felt a deep sense of humiliation as if he had been played for a fool. However, his concern for Lan Baobao remained strong. For her sake, he had no choice but to meet with Mu Jiao'er.
So he hailed a cab and headed to the bar where he had previously met Mu Jiao'er.
It was still crowded with people; the dim yellow lights flickered around, creating a charming atmosphere. Mu Jiangfeng furrowed his brows and soon spotted Mu Jiao'er in their usual spot.
"Give me a vodka." He sat down next to Mu Jiao'er and ordered a drink from the bartender.
Mu Jiao'er turned towards him and smiled flirtatiously, "Drinking strong liquor right after arriving? You must really be in a bad mood!"
Mu Jiangfeng ignored her and downed his drink. Although a man shouldn't nitpick with a woman, he couldn't stand Mu Jiao'er’s sarcastic tone.
"So? How did it go when you proposed to Lan Baobao?" Seeing that Mu Jiangfeng was ignoring her and just drinking one glass after another, Mu Jiao'er had an idea of what the answer might be but still pretended to be curious.
"She rejected me." Mu Jiangfeng replied tersely. He didn't want to explain the whole process of his rejection to Mu Jiao'er; he'd rather keep such things buried in his heart forever. It would be best if some magical remedy could make him forget it all instantly.
"It seems you are quite disappointed. Is this how you drink because she rejected you? You men really have no ambition at all!
The dignified Master Mu, being rejected by a young woman, shows such an expression. What should I do? Should I laugh?"
Mu Jiao'er seemed quite pleased upon hearing this news. She snatched the wine cup from Mu Jiangfeng's hand and drank the remaining wine herself before saying, "What’s so good about Lan Baobao that makes you so heartbroken over her?"
Mu Jiao'er appeared to be quite unconvinced. She couldn't understand how someone who looked so plain and lacked any charm like Lan Baobao could capture the hearts of so many outstanding men, even making Ye Zixun dizzy with infatuation, ultimately overshadowing her position as Lady Ye.
Thinking of this, she felt a surge of resentment.
Mu Jiangfeng had never felt such disappointment before; he only sensed that the world had suddenly turned dark. Was it truly impossible now? After what happened tonight, there would likely never be a chance between him and Lan Baobao again.
Suddenly, Mu Jiangfeng hated himself for what he had just attempted to do.
If he hadn't forced the issue tonight but instead approached her slowly, step by step, perhaps Lan Baobao would have gradually accepted him. Maybe there was still a little space in her heart reserved for him!
It was just that the time hadn't come yet, but he had acted like a beast.
Lan Baobao, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to.
But what good does that do? He was destined to be fated with Lan Baobao in this life. Why did fate allow him to meet her? Why did it let her save him, leading to this outcome? This was truly not what he wanted.
But what could he do?
Years ago, that gentle and kind girl had always been the most important one in his heart. After all these years, those memories were still vivid.
Do you know, Lan Baobao, I have always liked you? But who could have predicted this? Who knows that now you are with another man, and your heart belongs to him?
If I had been braver back then and boldly expressed my feelings for you, perhaps things wouldn't be like this now. We could have shared so much more time together. Unfortunately, back then, I was not worthy of you; I was just a good-for-nothing.
Why, why should I hesitate? Why should I miss opportunities in vain? This way, we have missed each other for so many years.
I don't want this; this is not the result I wanted. I can't even imagine it. Lan Baobao, you will never know how many years I have liked you.
But I can’t be with you anymore. Right now, and in the future, I can’t. Yes, Lan Baobao. Because of Ye Zixun. Ye Zixun, we both love him. Your heart belongs to him.
You even have two children together; this is something I can never compete with Ye Zixun, right?
He is the prince in everyone's heart, while I can only be a knight.
Do you know? Lan Baobao, you rejected me without hesitation, all because of Ye Zixun. But is Ye Zixun really such a good man? He hurt you so deeply; why do you still hold on to him?
Yes, he was braver than me in loving you back then, more sunny and strong. He could treat you that way, and I feel ashamed. You know? I can never compare to Ye Zixun.
But what about now? Now he is with Mu Jiao'er, do you still think he loves you like that?
When everyone thinks I am better than him, I only see myself as a dim shadow of him. I love you; I even wish I could love you with my life.
To love you with my life. Lan Baobao, but I am not worthy.
Mu Jiangfeng's heart is really chaotic. While looking at the bar, there are already many empty glasses—vodka, this strong liquor; drinking this will surely get me drunk.
Mu Jiao'er beside me doesn’t care about any of this.
“Lan Baobao rejected you, and you're drowning your sorrows in alcohol? What a coward! No wonder Lan Baobao chose Ye Zixun, not you. Master Mu, capturing a woman's body is easy, but capturing her heart is not simple at all. Although the best way to a woman's heart is through intimacy, sometimes the quickest way for a woman to despise a man is also through that route! Today, you've done something that made Lan Baobao hate you!”
Such words from Mu Jiangfeng are just provocations; they hold no value anymore.
It doesn’t matter how much more there is to say because the strange events have already occurred. Trying to analyze it afterward is useless and will only make people dislike me even more!
"Get lost, I don't want to see you. The further away you go, the better!" Mu Jiangfeng ignored Mu Jiao'er.
Mu Jiao'er actually hoped that Mu Jiangfeng could deal with Lan Baobao, so she wouldn't have to worry anymore. If that happened, she wouldn't have to be concerned about Lan Baobao going back to find Ye Zixun. After all, Mumu and Ruo Ruo were still with Ye Zixun. Even though Ye Zixun was treating her well now, she wasn't sure if he was truly sincere. It was important to remember that Lan Baobao had just left not long ago. In her view, Ye Zixun wasn't the kind of person who was always fickle; at least he wasn't unfaithful to Lan Baobao.
However, perhaps love had come too quickly for her, making it hard for Mu Jiao'er to distinguish reality. No matter how beautiful she was, it was impossible for her to occupy a place in Ye Zixun's heart so quickly. It seemed that even a woman in love could have her intelligence reduced to negative values; otherwise, how could Mu Jiao'er not realize that Ye Zixun's treatment of her must have some ulterior motive?
"Mu Jiangfeng, don't forget that we are in the same boat. You can't just cut off our relationship so easily. Between us, there are no secrets regarding this matter! Master Mu, when will you accept this reality?" Mu Jiao'er was clearly determined not to give up until she secured Ye Zixun firmly by her side.
"Hmph, is that so? Do you really understand what Ye Zixun is thinking? You and I are in the same boat, but you and Ye Zixun have been intimate lovers for a long time. So tell me, what are your feelings for Ye Zixun? Can you truly understand what he is thinking?"
Mu Jiao'er was taken aback and pulled her hand away from him angrily.
How could Mu Jiao'er know what was truly on Ye Zixun's mind!
"Enough of this. I'm here to tell you that there has been a change in plans!"
"What change?"
"Brother Mu and Ruo Ruo have been working with Grandpa Ye to keep things from Ye Zixun regarding Lan Baobao. But now it's been almost half a month, and Ye Zixun has noticed something is off. Last night he found out that Lan Baobao ran away from home, but he doesn't know how long she's been gone. Brother Mu seems to think that Lan Baobao went abroad for vacation. However, Ye Zixun doesn't seem to believe this story. Today, Ye Zixun has already turned Li Xiaoran's place upside down; it won't be long before he finds his way here. I advise you to find a safe place to hide Lan Baobao. This apartment may be secluded, but it's under your name; it won't be difficult for Ye Zixun to find it! For the sake of our plan, you'd better act quickly!"
"Finally realizing that Lan Baobao is missing after two weeks! I really don't understand why such a man is still liked by Lan Baobao!"
