I couldn't help but ask, "Did she call you?"
"Yeah." He glanced down at his phone, responding absentmindedly.
I wrapped my arms around his, playfully saying, "Can you not contact her anymore?"
He looked up at me with a smile, "Are you jealous?"
I nodded, "Yeah, I don't like her."
He ran his fingers through my hair and chuckled, "I don't like her either; I just see her as a little sister."
"A sister?" I widened my eyes. "How long have you known her?"
"About six or seven years."
"That long?"
"Yeah, she's been following me around since she was little, like a little tail."
I huffed, feeling a bit unhappy.
He pinched my cheek and smiled, "But now I have you, so I won't be in touch with her anymore."
Only then was I satisfied and nodded, "That's more like it."
Even so, I still felt uneasy; I always sensed that their relationship was not simple.
I had wanted Liang Lebang to change jobs and leave that dance studio, but I was afraid he would suspect me, so I gave up on the idea.
But I go to the dance studio every week, afraid that Liang Lebang will be taken away by another woman.
I thought this would keep him firmly by my side, but unexpectedly, something happened.
That day, I had dinner plans with a friend and unexpectedly saw Liang Lebang at the same restaurant with a short-haired beauty.
They were chatting and laughing, looking quite happy together.
I felt a pang of jealousy and had the urge to confront him.
I held back my anger and didn’t explode; instead, I returned to my apartment and sulked alone.
My brother called me: "I heard you’re dating someone. When are you going to bring him home for me to see?"
"Come on, bro, we just started dating not long ago. Isn’t it too early to meet the family?"
"Meet the family? I just want to see what kind of person he is. I’m worried about you."
"Don’t worry, he’s really nice and treats me well."
"Well, he should let me meet him then. I need to know what my brother-in-law looks like."
"He..." I hesitated, "he's on a business trip right now. I'll bring him back to see you when he returns."
"A business trip? Where is he going?"
"To... Nanjing!"
"Oh," my brother replied casually, "let's talk about it when he comes back."
After hanging up the phone, I let out a sigh of relief.
If my brother knew that Liang Lebang was working at the dance studio, he would definitely insist that I break up with him without hesitation.
I didn't want to break up with Liang Lebang; I had to think of a way to get him out of the dance studio.
Early the next morning, I quietly followed Liang Lebang, watching him enter the neighborhood and knock on the door of a building.
Soon, a short-haired beauty opened the door and let him in.
I waited outside for half an hour before I finally saw him come out, holding a stack of money in his hands.
I hid at a distance, watching as the short-haired beauty stood at the door, smiling sweetly as she watched Liang Lebang leave.
This scene pierced my heart deeply.
I never expected that Liang Lebang would deceive me!
He was secretly involved with that woman and even took her money!
Feeling disheartened, I returned home, took a moment to calm down, and dialed Liang Lebang's number: "Let's break up."
There was silence on the other end for a few seconds before I heard Liang Lebang's deep voice: "Why?"
"Have you cut ties with her?"
"I..."
"You're not broken up, right?" I took a deep breath. "Liang Lebang, I hate deception."
After saying that, I hung up the phone.
I locked myself in my room and cried for an entire afternoon until my eyes were swollen.
In the evening, a friend called me and invited me to the bar for drinks. I agreed without hesitation.
When I arrived at the bar, I ordered a bunch of strong drinks and started downing them one after another.
My friend quickly grabbed my arm. "You need to stop drinking; you'll get drunk."
I pushed her hand away and shouted, "I want to drink! Getting drunk is better; when I'm drunk, I won't have to think about anything!"
"What's wrong with you? Did you have a fight with your boyfriend?"
"I..." I hesitated for a moment. "I broke up."
"What?" My friend widened her eyes. "You broke up with Liang Lebang? Why?"
"He lied to me!" Talking about Liang Lebang made my eyes well up again. "He lied to me; he hasn't broken up with that short-haired beauty, and he's still taking her money!"
"What?" My friend looked shocked. "He's that kind of person?"
"Yes!" I hugged my friend and cried uncontrollably. "I was really blind; how could I have liked someone like him!"
"Alright, alright, stop crying," my friend patted my back to comfort me. "It's not worth crying over a jerk. Let's have some fun and cheer up."
"Okay." I sniffled and grabbed a tissue to wipe my tears.
I had originally planned to drown my sorrows in alcohol, but it only made things worse, and in the end, I couldn't even remember how I got home.
All I recall is that my friend called my brother, and he came to pick me up, scolding me as soon as I got in the car. "Look at you, what a state you're in!"
"Bro..." I clung to his arm, trying to be cute. "I feel so bad inside..."
"If you feel bad, just cry it out. You'll feel better afterward."
"Woo woo woo..." I hugged my brother and cried heart-wrenchingly.
He sighed and patted my shoulder. "Alright, enough crying. Next time you meet a guy, keep your eyes wide open. Don't let it happen like this again."
"I know..."
From that day on, my brother kept a close watch on me, not letting me step outside the house.
I lay at home for several days, and when I finally managed to go out for a bit, he insisted that I attend some kind of cocktail party.
