Chi Yufeng was unable to block her cold gaze even with a layer of tears. His hand slightly paused as he gently stroked her hair.

He retracted his hands and stood up. He took off his jacket, leaving behind only a single black robe. It looked thin in the bleak night wind.

He did not reply, his deep and unfathomable gaze looking at her indifferently.

"Say something! You obviously knew this a long time ago, but why didn't you tell me?! "

Luo Xin stood up from the ground. Perhaps it was the effect of the alcohol, or perhaps she couldn't endure it anymore and let her emotions run out of control.

She looked at the man's silence, and the indescribable anguish in her heart caused her to experience an unbearable pain.

Chi Yufeng let her push him. His tall and straight body didn't move at all. Only a slight change flashed across his eyes.

"You know exactly what he means to me... How can you not tell me that he's married... "How can you …"

Chi Yufeng held the sobbing woman by her lapel and held her tear-stained face with one hand. A trace of heartache appeared in his complicated eyes, "Core, even if I told you in advance, nothing would change. Gong Yan is real to that woman."

Luo Xin suddenly reached out her hand to push him away, staggering a few steps before stabilizing her body, "That's better than not saying anything, he personally told me that I would only feel more cruel!" You know what I feel for him... Do you think I'm your best friend or not? "

If he really cared about her, he wouldn't have let this situation happen.

"Friends?" Chi Yufeng's lips curved up in a self-deprecating smile. His dejected eyes were as deep as the ocean. "Are you lying to yourself, or is my performance all these years not enough for you to notice what I'm thinking of you?"

How could he just treat her as a friend?

Was it his restraint all these years that gave her the illusion that they were just friends?

For someone who loves but cannot love, the word friends is more cruel than anything else.

A strange look flashed through Luo Xin's eyes, she turned her face away from the man, "I'm asking you about Gong Yan right now, don't bring up the topic."

The cold side of his face was suffused with an unforgiving taste.

Chi Yufeng's thin lips were slightly curled from beginning to end, but his smile was still unable to reach his eyes.

He should have long since gotten used to it. When it came to that man, he would always be ranked second.

He put one hand into his pocket and slowly walked towards her. When the woman was one step away, he stopped and said, "It's cold outside. Are you drunk?"

Only then did Luo Xin notice that his jacket was draped over her body. She wanted to pull it off, but the man held her down first.

Chi Yufeng withdrew his smile, and his voice contained a trace of coldness and hardness. "Wear it, the wind is big."

Luo Xin looked at him once, then retracted her hand and walked straight towards Bentley, who was parked by the roadside.

Chi Yufeng watched as she opened the back door and got into the car. His dark pupils changed color subtly before he returned to the driver's seat and started the engine.

He was afraid that if she drank, she would feel uncomfortable if she drove too fast. Chi Yufeng drove the car smoothly on the road.

Luo Xin pressed her forehead against the window, her unperturbed gaze looking at the scenery that just passed by. The car drove for a while before she stood up and said, "I'm not going home. Take me to Lan Lan."

Lan Lan, all the young masters with a bit of status in Cloud City went to a membership bar.

To be able to amuse themselves in this place, one's identity was either rich or noble. Even if one was drunk, there would still be someone watching over them, so it wouldn't be a big deal.

Chi Yufeng put his hands on the steering wheel and looked at the back seat in the rearview mirror. His handsome eyebrows knitted together, "You need to rest now, not get drunk."

The woman sneered. Her laughter was exceptionally clear in the silent space. "Fine, you can take me home. It seems like the wine you brought me last time hasn't been opened yet. It's still the same no matter where you go."

Drink the wine.

She leaned back in the back seat, looked out the window, and rubbed her aching forehead with her fingers.

Chi Yufeng watched in the rearview mirror, his black eyes dimmed. A few seconds later, the steering wheel changed direction.

Luo Xin did not notice. Her eyes were half closed, and it didn't take long for her to fall into a light sleep.

When she woke up again, it was the jolting of the car that woke her up.

It was pitch black outside the window, making it hard to see the surroundings, but it was clear that this wasn't her neighborhood.

Luo Xin's muddled nerves became much more clear-headed. She understood a man's personality, but at this moment, she couldn't help but feel a sense of crisis.

Chi Yufeng got out of the car, walked to the backseat and opened the door for her.

"Where is this?" Luo Xin's face was cold, "I asked you to send me home, why did you bring me here?"

Chi Yufeng held the door with one hand and leaned over, patiently explaining, "This is my house, don't be nervous."

As he spoke, he stepped back, "Get out of the car."

Luo Xin's expression changed.

She did not move, nor did she get out of the car. Her face became tense, "What did you bring me here for? I said I was going home to my own home. "

Hearing her unhappy questioning, Chi Yufeng could only bow down once again and coax in a sweet voice, "You can't drink anymore today. I won't be at ease if you go back. I'll take care of you tonight."

Luo Xin only felt that it was funny. In fact, she was smiling too, with ridicule at the corners of her eyes.

In the dim light, the man's facial features were indistinct. She focused her eyes that were deeper and darker than the darkness, looking like obsidian, and said with an even colder voice, "Chi Yufeng, you want me to stay the night at your house? Don't you think it's already out of bounds? "

A man and a woman in a room together. Not to mention that he had that kind of intention towards her, even if they were just friends, it would still be hard to convince others that there was nothing else.

The man's gaze darkened. "I'll leave after you sleep. Is this okay?"

"No need, why be so troublesome," Luo Xin sat upright, "You can just send me back."

Of course, Chi Yufeng could tell from her tone that there was no room for negotiation, but it was because he understood her that he brought her back to take care of her.

Before he could get back in the driver's seat, Luo Xin turned her head and was about to open her mouth again when she saw a figure fall down.

Then she was carried out of the carriage.

She was stunned for a moment before struggling with all her might, "Chi Yufeng, what are you doing? Let me go! "

The man's pace was not interrupted by her actions as he walked towards the villa's entrance in an orderly manner.

"You stay here tonight. I'll watch until you fall asleep, then I promise I'll leave."

Looking at the firm line of the man's jaw, the only thought in his mind was, Ridiculous!

"What right do you have to ask me to live here? Don't you think it's ridiculous? "Chi Yufeng, even if we're friends, you don't have the right to force me to stay here tonight!"

Her words succeeded in making the man stop.

Chi Yufeng lowered his head and smiled with his handsome and refined face, "In the future, we will not be friends anymore. Luo Xin, I've waited for too long. I don't want to wait any longer."
