Three years after our breakup, you came back to China, and I'm just giving up. Why are you cryi

Mochou Bar.

Deafening music echoed in my ears, multicolored laser lights swept wildly, and the crowd in the dance floor danced wildly.

Lu Hao pushed aside a drunken man, frowned, and made his way through the crowd to his "private" booth.

In the corner of the sofa, Li Xu huddled up, shivering.

Beside him, a woman casually crossed her legs, propped her chin on one hand, and simply sitting there seemed to shut out all the noise around her.

Xiao Xiyue.

A fiery red bodycon dress clung tightly to her alluring figure, and her bright red lips shone with an almost bewitching luster under the hazy lights.

Lu Hao's Adam's apple bobbed, and he subconsciously swallowed.

He had just blocked this woman's contact information a few days ago, thinking she was a smart person and would back down.

Who would have thought that she would actually set her sights on Li Xu, and actually use this coward to lure herself out?

Lu Hao stood still, took a deep breath, and felt a mix of fatigue from working for days and frustration at being disturbed.

Since there's no way to avoid it, let's make things clear once and for all and cut ties completely.

Just as he was about to step over, Xiao Xiyue, who was sitting, stood up first. Without even glancing at Lu Hao, she walked straight toward the door, leaving behind only a cold sentence.

"Follow me!"

The tone was indifferent and resolute, giving Lu Hao no chance to refuse.

Lu Hao paused, then shook his head helplessly.

He turned his head and glanced at Li Xu, who was still shaking on the sofa. The kid was looking at him with a "good luck, bro" look.

Lu Hao silently cursed with his mouth, then finally sighed and turned to follow Xiao Xiyue.

The two walked out of the bar one after the other.

Xiao Xiyue stopped in front of a red Porsche, pressed the key, and the car lights flashed.

"Get in the car."

She uttered two words, then opened the car door and got into the driver's seat.

Lu Hao didn't move. He stood outside the passenger door, his hands in his pockets, quietly watching the woman inside the car.

Xiao Xiyue, inside the car, didn't urge her. She lowered the window, rested one hand on the windowsill, and the evening breeze blew by, a few strands of hair brushing against her forehead, obscuring the fleeting emotions in her eyes.

That face, which always carried a strong air, now revealed an indescribable weariness and loneliness under the parking lot lights.

Lu Hao's heart softened inexplicably, and the fierce determination he had been preparing to completely break ties with softened.

He gave a wry smile, but still opened the car door and got in.

As soon as he fastened his seatbelt, Xiao Xiyue started the car, stepped on the gas, and the Porsche roared and shot off like an arrow.

The street scene outside the window rushed past, turning into blurry patches of light and shadow.

Lu Hao opened his mouth several times, wanting to ask her what she wanted to do, but when he turned his head and saw Xiao Xiyue's tense profile, he swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

This woman seems a bit off.

The car eventually drove into an upscale residential area that Lu Hao had visited twice before, and came to a stop in the underground parking garage.

Xiao Xiyue unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car in silence.

Lu Hao touched his nose and followed behind her, wondering to himself.

This woman brought me back to her house again. Is she planning to sleep with me again?

What's going on? Do you really think you're a food delivery guy, available whenever you call, and then just thrown away after you're done?

Seeing that Xiao Xiyue had already reached the elevator, Lu Hao finally couldn't hold back any longer. He stopped and asked loudly, "Um, what exactly do you want?"

Xiao Xiyue's back stiffened, but she didn't turn around. She simply reached out and pressed the elevator's up button.

"Come on."

Lu Hao pursed his lips. He really couldn't understand what this woman was trying to do. He had already blocked her. Didn't she understand what he meant?

But Lu Hao also knew that if he didn't make things clear to her, she could use Li Xu to threaten him this time, and who knew what kind of outrageous things she might do next time.

With a heart full of trepidation, Lu Hao walked to Xiao Xiyue's side.

With a "ding," the elevator doors slowly opened.

The two entered the elevator one after the other, with only the cold numbers constantly jumping upwards.

19th floor.

The elevator doors opened, and Xiao Xiyue walked straight to room 1902, unlocking it with her fingerprint.

With a "click," the door opened.

Lu Hao followed her inside, and the motion-sensor light in the entryway turned on, illuminating her lonely figure.

Xiao Xiyue stood with her back to Lu Hao, slightly bending over, her fiery red, tight-fitting bodycon dress outlining a breathtakingly alluring curve.

She lifted her fair legs back, hooked her slender fingers around her ankles, and flung her pair of red high heels—enough to drive any man mad—to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, she changed into a pair of pink rabbit-head slippers that clashed with her usual style.

Lu Hao was engrossed in watching when Xiao Xiyue suddenly squatted down and took out a pair of men's slippers from the bottom of the shoe cabinet.

She turned around and placed her slippers on the floor in front of Lu Hao.

"Change your shoes."

Before Lu Hao could react, she had already stood up, wearing cute rabbit-head slippers, and walked gracefully toward the wine cabinet in the living room.

Lu Hao looked down at the pair of gray men's slippers beside his feet, feeling a mix of emotions.

Lu Hao rubbed his nose, changed his shoes, closed the door, and went inside. Looking at Xiao Xiyue opening a bottle of red wine, he asked, "Now you can tell me, what exactly do you want?"

Xiao Xiyue ignored it.

Xiao Xiyue poured the red wine into a decanter, then took out two wine glasses and placed them on the dining table. She turned and went into the kitchen, bringing out several dishes that were still slightly warm.

She sat in the main seat, and finally raised her beautiful eyes to look at Lu Hao, who was still standing there, and gave a command in a calm tone.

"Come here and sit down."

"I won't sit down until you explain clearly." Lu Hao stiffened his neck, unusually assertive for once.

Xiao Xiyue sneered, "You dared to block me, but now you're too scared to face me?"

"You know I blocked you, so don't you know what I mean?" Lu Hao retorted sarcastically.

Xiao Xiyue didn't say anything more, but silently picked up the decanter and poured the red wine into two stemmed glasses.

She held the stem of the glass and gently swirled the crimson liquid inside.

The living room was deathly silent, the atmosphere so oppressive it was hard to breathe.

Lu Hao wanted to turn around and leave.

But he was also worried that if he really left, the consequences might be beyond his imagination.

If we leave like this today, who knows what kind of trouble that crazy woman will cause tomorrow?

In the end, Lu Hao sighed, walked over, and pulled out a chair to sit down opposite her.

"Mr. Xiao, we've only met by chance, had a brief fling or two," he tried to make his tone sound sincere yet distant, "so why are you so persistent?"

Xiao Xiyue paused in her swirling of the wine glass and looked up at him.

"You're already tired of it after just two times?"

"puff--"

Lu Hao almost spat out a mouthful of blood. Why did she say that, like a complaining woman?

But the way she said it carried a sense of self-righteous accusation.

"It's not a matter of whether I'm tired of you or not... You can't possibly think that I'm just infatuated with your body, can you?" Lu Hao tried to salvage some dignity.

"Isn't that right?" Xiao Xiyue retorted.

"..."

Lu Hao was speechless.

Well, he admits that a large part of the reason is...

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so bewitched back then.

He chuckled self-deprecatingly and changed his tune: "Fine, even if I am. You went to all that trouble to bring me here today, you didn't just want me to sleep with you, did you?"

"Just take it as that."
