What I didn't know was that day, Yan Chao stood behind me for a long, long time. Until I completely disappeared from sight. After the party ended, I stood alone in the cold wind waiting for a taxi. It was so cold that my hands went numb. I saw Yan Chao come out with his girlfriend. The woman was wearing a jade bracelet. I recognized that bracelet; it was a family heirloom of the the Yan Family. It turned out that she was not only Yan Chao's girlfriend but also his fiancée.
After we broke up years ago, I heard many rumors about Yan Chao. Some said he almost committed suicide for a girl. Others said he got so drunk that he caused a scene on the rooftop of the dormitory building. There were even claims that after graduation, he started a business to earn money to find me. Looking back now, none of those rumors were true. Yan Chao is doing well. He is no longer the impoverished boy he once was. He no longer needs to rely on others; he has his own career and even his own family.
I lowered my head, feeling a pang of bitterness rise within me. Perhaps Xiao Rou was right; I really am the biggest fool in this world. At that moment, Yan Chao suddenly walked toward his girlfriend and said, "I'll take you to get a taxi."
"Aren't you going to buy a bag? Go ahead," she replied.
"You can take my car."
The woman pouted playfully and asked, "What about you?"
Yan Chao spoke gently, "I can just take a taxi back."
"No way, I'll drive you back," the woman said affectionately as she linked her arm with his.
Yan Chao smiled and asked, "What's wrong? Aren't you going to buy that bag?"
"Of course not," the woman replied shyly. "I'll buy it next time."
Yan Chao ruffled her hair, his eyes filled with tenderness.
After the woman drove away, Yan Chao walked over to me.
In the night, his eyes were as dark as a deep pool, and his voice was low.
"How much do you owe?"
I looked at him coldly and replied, "What does it have to do with you?"
The alcohol irritated my throat, and I suddenly started coughing.
Yan Chao just watched me coldly until my coughing stopped.
I walked to the roadside to hail a taxi when he suddenly grabbed my arm and asked in a deep voice, "What are you going to Wanderlust Mansion for?"
I retorted, "Are you going with me?"
Yan Chao narrowed his eyes and said slowly, "Li Wei, stop bothering me."
"I'll pay you a monthly salary of fifty thousand. Is that enough?"
I glared at him and angrily slapped him across the face.
Yan Chao's head turned from the impact, and he gritted his teeth as he looked at me.
"Yan Chao, it's already over between us!"
"You are meddling too much!"
I waved down a taxi and got inside.
At Xiao Rou's place.
I held my stomach, sweating profusely from the pain.
After drinking some hot water, my stomach felt like it was churning violently.
I rushed into the bathroom, feeling dizzy as I vomited.
When I came out, Xiao Rou looked at me with a face full of disappointment.
"I told you not to drink beer, but you wouldn't listen."
"You know your stomach isn't good, yet you still insisted on drinking. Are you trying to drive me crazy?"
I walked over to the mirror and looked at myself—
my face was pale, my skin dull and lifeless, my hair messy, and my figure a bit bloated.
I couldn't compare to Chen Ruiping at all.
Back in the day, I was also known as one of the beauties in school.
Countless boys pursued me, but I only had eyes for Yan Chao.
At that time, I was young, beautiful, confident, and generous.
However, Chen Ruiping's appearance made me experience self-doubt for the first time.
She was beautiful, came from a good family, excelled in her studies, and handled everything impeccably.
Sometimes, even I couldn't help but steal a few glances at her.
