Chapter 168 [Shi Yi 018] Could he... have broken up with his girlfriend?
Yi Xu returned to the snooker club, his gloomy face and cold, fierce aura a stark contrast to the bustling and noisy atmosphere.

Wen Qi hadn't drunk much, but he was the first to notice him and also noticed that something was wrong with his mood.

He didn't say anything, but when Yi Xu looked over, he glanced at Ji Xuan beside him and his expression instantly became complicated.

Damn, for the first time, he felt like he couldn't understand women's feelings.

Ji Xuan felt confused, but it was as if he had caught some special information in his eyes.

She thought to herself: "Oh, no, no, they're not that bad at all... they're not even the same kind of people..."

No?
and many more……

It seems that there are some similar feelings in some places.

No way?
Yi Xu wasn't in a high mood at first. He didn't respond when Lu Xuming and the others called him, and he just kept drinking a lot of wine. It wasn't until Chu Feng called him to play cards that he slowly came back to his usual self.

But something felt off.

I always feel like something is weird.

Jiang Huaichuan and the others couldn't explain it either, and they didn't mention girlfriends again afterward.

Seeing him getting more and more into the game, he eventually lost a card but drew a sign that said he could dance. He didn't refuse and actually started dancing to the DJ's beat.

"..."

That's pretty flashy!
Yi Xu is a fun-loving person, and I must say, those few twists and turns were quite sexy and pleasing to the eye.

Wen Qi raised his hand to cover Ji Xian's eyes, his voice low and deep, "Don't look, it's an eyesore."

Ji Xuan was speechless and pulled his hand away. "Does he always do this?"

Wen Qi glanced sideways at Lu Xuming and Jiang Huaichuan.

They are the two people who have more authority to speak on this matter.

Chu Feng jumped up as well, making the whole room even noisier than before.

Lu Xuming frowned. "He used to be quite wild, but today... something's off about him. How should I put it..."

As he racked his brains for an adjective, Jiang Huaichuan calmly replied, "He used to enjoy this free and easy atmosphere and immerse himself in this fun, but now... it's like he's torturing himself."

"Could he be... heartbroken?" Ji Xian asked with some doubt.

As soon as she finished speaking, three pairs of eyes fell on her simultaneously.

“He said he was bringing his girlfriend to meet us today and introducing her to us, but he went out and disappeared without a trace, and he’s acting like this… It’s very possible,” Lu Xuming agreed.

Jiang Huaichuan laughed heartlessly, "Oh my, that's strange indeed. Who is it? What kind of deity could make our Casanova so withdrawn?"

"Hey, to be honest, I'm quite curious too." Lu Xuming raised an eyebrow, looking like he was enjoying a good show. "The last time I saw him like this was..."

"cough."

Jiang Huaichuan shoved him, "Shut up, don't mention that woman."

Ji Xuan wasn't paying attention to their conversation, and with the surrounding noise so loud, and their voices not being very loud either, she was currently pondering the thought that was on her mind. Damn, could the girlfriend he was talking about be Shi Wan?
Shi Wan said she was coming, but now she suddenly can't come. How come her situation is so similar to that of his 'girlfriend'?
The event lasted until 3 a.m., but Wen Qi and Ji Xuan left right after midnight, leaving Lu Xuming to keep an eye on Yi Xu.

The next morning, Shi Wan arrived at the parking lot. As soon as she opened the car door, she saw the gift bag on the passenger side. She frowned, paused for a few seconds, then chose to ignore it, looked away, and drove to the company.

Shishi Media is currently conducting internal assessments. Each of its contracted anchors has a different Key Personality Award (KIP), and each of them is responsible for a different product area.

Three of the top-tier streamers, each with millions of followers, already have their own independent teams and their operations are now on track.

She doesn't need to worry about it too much.

She decides on the allocation of other streamers' live streaming schedules, so this assessment is also very important.

Once the assessment is over, the company will be preparing to sign new employees, which will gradually reduce the pressure on her as the boss.

She currently does two to three live streams a month, and the brands she collaborates with are mostly well-known and reputable.

Around 10:30 a.m., she came out of the meeting room and found that Ji Xian had sent her a message half an hour earlier: Tell me honestly, what's going on between you and Yi Xu? Are you together?

Upon seeing this line, Shi Wan paused, then decisively replied: We're not together.

Back in the office, Ji Xuan's message popped up again: Not together? Then at Yi Xu's birthday party yesterday, he said he would introduce us to his girlfriend. Wasn't that girlfriend you?
"..."

Shi Wan pursed her lips, her breath catching slightly. After thinking for a moment, she decided to tell Ji Xian: "How should I put it? It's a long story."

Ji Xian: Then let's get to the point.

Shi Wan pouted and sent a 'wronged' emoji.

He then typed: "Didn't I do a special live stream for Laijia before? You should know that Laijia's boss is Yi Xu. Originally, I didn't have much interaction with him, but after the live stream, we got drunk and... slept together."

Ji Xian sent six dots, indicating her speechlessness.

Shi Wan ignored it: The next morning, he asked if we should give it a try. I thought he meant casual sex, but it turned out he meant dating...

Ji Xuan was dumbfounded: So during this time, one of you thought you were dating, and the other thought it was just a casual fling.

Shi Wan: Yeah, that's right.

Ji Xuan: Are you two putting on a play here?
Shi Wan: Haha, this is more dramatic than a play. What's even more outrageous is that yesterday his mother suddenly came to me and told me to leave Yi Xu. She said that her family had arranged a marriage for Yi Xu, and that I was an obstacle in their marriage plan, so she wanted to kick me out. I was wondering why she would lower herself to come to me when we were just friends with benefits. Then last night, I didn't go to Yi Xu's birthday party, and he suddenly came to find me. So I ended our friendship with benefits, and that's when I found out that he had always considered us a couple. That's when I understood why Mrs. Yi came to find me.

After reading this, Ji Xuan's head was buzzing: Mrs. Yi actually came to see you? Does Yi Xu know about this?

Shi Wan: Does it matter? It doesn't matter whether he knows or not. Even if we are dating, since he has a marriage partner, I won't say anything. It's bound to end.

Ji Xian was silent for a while before sending a message: Yi Xu went out to look for you yesterday but came back. He seemed really off. I heard he drank until 3 a.m. before being carried back home.

Shi Wan: Hmm, maybe the deviation last night was a bit too much of a blow to him, and he couldn't accept it.

Ji Xuan: I'm afraid you'll get too involved. Yi Xu is actually a pretty good person, and he's loyal, but he's a bit too experienced in relationships...

Shi Wan: I understand, we're all just having fun. It would be ridiculous to take it seriously, and I won't take it to heart. I'm a selfish person; I always put my own interests first. Don't worry.
