Chapter 720: Chapter 720: Just Don’t Get Yourself Trapped
After talking with Lu Yanxi about Chen Yuan, Qiao Yin noticed that Lu Yanxi did not seem as upset as she was yesterday. This made her feel relieved.
She had been worrying that Lu Yanxi might not recover, but it turned out that her adjustment was very quick. At least now when she talked about Chen Yuan, she managed to maintain composure and would not cry again.
Of course, Lu Yanxi still went to the bar with Qiao Yin.
After all, she had nothing to do when she was alone at home. She even considered following Chen Yuan to see what he was up to, but this daring and neurotic idea of hers was too audacious to mention to Qiao Yin.
Throughout the journey, she was somewhat distracted, scrolling obsessively through Chen Yuan’s social network profile on her mobile phone. Although she had already seen the photos on there numerous times, she still examined each one like a crazy detective, scrutinizing every single detail.
When they finally arrived at the bar, Lu Yanxi realized that it was not the same one they had visited yesterday.
“Yinyin, why did we come to this one? Aren’t you unfamiliar with bars? How did you know about this one? It’s more artistic and has its own style. Many celebrities hang out here, and it’s quite famous within the industry!”
Qiao Yin didn’t hide the truth from her: “I’m indeed unfamiliar with bars, and I don’t know the style of this bar. I followed Gu Jing to get here.”
Lu Yanxi was shocked!
While she hesitated about following Chen Yuan, thinking that her idea was rather perverse, Qiao Yin had already sprung into action!
She quickly pulled Qiao Yin over to sit in a corner: “You haven’t seriously fallen for Gu Jing, have you? Let me tell you, he’s not a good choice. He’s utterly fickle! You wouldn’t be able to handle him!”
Qiao Yin glanced over at Gu Jing, who was sitting at the bar drinking alone. He was facing away from them and hadn’t noticed their arrival.
“I don’t like him. I just want to ask him about something important.”
Lu Yanxi looked at her worriedly. “Really? You’re not lying to me, right? It’s normal to be attracted to a handsome guy like Gu Jing, but you can’t lie to me!”
“Trust me, if I were to lie, it wouldn’t be to you!”
Qiao Yin smiled at her. “Is he even more handsome than your Second Brother? I’m immune to good looks now. The appeal of Gu Jing for me is not his appearance, but a secret he knows that I don’t.”
“Another secret?”
Lu Yanxi shook her head helplessly. “Alright, go find out your secret, just don’t get yourself sucked in.”
She didn’t asked about the secret, which moved Qiao Yin a bit.
Indeed, she was her best sister who never wanted to make her uncomfortable.
Qiao Yin watched as Gu Jing drank one drink after another at the bar and curiously asked Lu Yanxi, “Does Gu Jing have high alcohol tolerance? He’s been drinking for a while now and doesn’t seem drunk.”
“He probably does. He heads to the bar every other day, practically live in the alcohol, and his tolerance has certainly increased. If you want to collect info from him, you might want to wait until he is slightly tipsy. That’s when people tend to spill the beans.”
“Alright, I’ll heed your advice,” Qiao Yin agreed.
Following Lu Yanxi’s advice, Qiao Yin sat in the corner, eating snacks, drinking juice, and listening to music. The evening passed quickly.
Throughout the night, they saw several celebrities come and go. The celebrities that were always glamorous on TV, were just ordinary people seeking relaxation in the bar.
Just as Lu Yanxi had said, this bar was more artistic. Even the men who approached them were less in number, and they would leave quickly if rejected, never insist or intrude on their space which made Qiao Yin feel at ease.
Qiao Yin had an important mission tonight, so she didn’t drink, while Lu Yanxi drank quite a lot.
Therefore, when Qiao Yin noticed that Lu Yanxi was mildly drunk, she knew that Gu Jing must be in a similar state.
