It fell from his fingertips

"What did you say?"

An hour later, Shen Baiyan still felt like she was in a fog.

"You mean you just dumped that jerk and you're already dating his brother? Seriously, Tang Luoqing, are there no other men in the world? How good can that jerk's brother be? Let me tell you, it's not that I'm prejudiced against people with the surname Zhou, but genes are a mysterious thing. Aren't you afraid that this Zhou guy, Zhou Jinbai, is the next Zhou Yanchen? Wait, what's his name? Zhou Jinbai?"

Shen Baiyan rattled off a whole bunch of things before finally realizing that she had extracted the important information.

"Zhou Jinbai, that... Zhou Jinbai, the person in charge of the Zhou Group?"

Tang Luoqing nodded: "Yes, it's him."

Shen Baiyan's expression instantly changed from worry to joy, and she even slapped Tang Luoqing's arm hard without restraint: "You're something else! Zhou Jinbai, do you know? He's the man that all the rich heiresses in the entire capital want to marry the most, without exception."

Shen Baiyan felt like she was hallucinating. She excitedly stood up from the sofa and paced back and forth until Tang Luoqing was almost dizzy. Then she excitedly sat back down on the sofa, grabbed Tang Luoqing's hand, and said excitedly, "So, sister, you're going to become a billionaire? Sister, I'm hungry, let me hug you."

Shen Baiyan stretched out her arms and hugged Tang Luoqing tightly, then rubbed her softly against Tang Luoqing's shoulder, acting coquettishly.

Tang Luoqing was both amused and exasperated by Shen Baiyan's inconsistent attitude.

"Don't you think the scumbag's brother is a scumbag too now?"

"No, no, how could Zhou Jinbai be a scumbag? He hasn't had a single scandal in all these years, how could he be a scumbag? But your ex-boyfriend Zhou Yanchen has had quite a few scandals."

"So... you're not angry anymore?"

"Angry? I'm not angry at all, I'm super happy right now, okay?"

Shen Baiyan released Tang Luoqing and patted her shoulder seriously: "Good sister, I want to be your bridesmaid, will you let me be your bridesmaid? Oh, and I also want to be your child's godmother in the future, you're willing to do that, right? Right, right?"

"puff……"

Tang Luoqing was amused by Shen Baiyan's seriousness and the completely unfounded things she was talking about: "Are you serious? Shen Baiyan, you're Shen Baiyan... Is it really necessary to react so strongly?"

Shen Baiyan: "Of course! You don't know, I've never seen Zhou Jinbai in any news, except for financial news. There isn't a single photo of him in financial news, only a candid background photo taken by someone. You have no idea how much money that photo was sold for. What are you still hesitating about with such a clean-living and mysterious man?"

"Oh my god, you actually became Zhou Jinbai's girlfriend? Oh no, Zhou Jinbai actually has the honor of becoming your boyfriend, not bad, not bad, sister, I love you to death! By the way, was that Zhou Jinbai who just called you? Isn't ZJB the pinyin abbreviation of Zhou Jinbai? Why are you refusing? Call him back, I want to see what this person looks like."

Tang Luoqing was shaken so hard by Shen Baiyan's vigorous shaking that she almost got dizzy. She could only smile wryly and agree, "Okay, okay, I know."

Tang Luoqing picked up her phone and saw that it was almost 6 p.m., which meant it was about 6 a.m. for Zhou Jinbai. He probably had just fallen asleep, and sending a video call like this would definitely wake him up.

Forget it.

So Tang Luoqing explained the reason, and Shen Baiyan didn't dwell on it. The two of them decided to go to the bar first, planning to call Zhou Jinbai after they returned home from the bar that night, when Zhou Jinbai had been asleep for a while.

In the evening, the two had dinner at a restaurant near the river and then went to one of the decent bars by the river.

The first floor of the bar was quiet. Tang Luoqing and Shen Baiyan chatted about gossip or TV dramas, or just made small talk. Before they knew it, it was 11:30 p.m.

The two planned to take a taxi home. Before leaving the bar, Shen Baiyan went to the restroom and asked Tang Luoqing to wait for her outside.

Tang Luoqing then went to the railing by the river opposite the bar.

She leaned against the railing, feeling the cool breeze, and suddenly realized that the slight smell of alcohol from the drink had been blown away.

Suddenly, I missed Zhou Jinbai a little, wondering if he was awake yet.

Moreover, Tang Luoqing discovered that revealing her relationship with Zhou Jinbai wasn't actually that difficult.

As she was lost in thought, a men's trench coat suddenly appeared on her, and at the same time, Tang Luoqing was pulled into a warm and familiar embrace.

"Luo Qing, I miss you so much."

Tang Luoqing was stunned. She turned around and saw that it was Zhou Yanchen. She quickly pushed him away.

"Zhou Yanchen? What are you doing here?"

At this moment, Zhou Yanchen looked rather disheveled, with faint dark circles under his eyes and light stubble on his chin.

Tang Luoqing frowned, then saw Zhou Yanchen trying to take her hand affectionately. She quickly stepped back to avoid him, her frown deepening.

"Zhou Yanchen, what exactly do you want? We've already broken up."

Zhou Yanchen was shocked that Tang Luoqing wouldn't even hold his hand. He looked hurt and said, "Luoqing, I'm sorry. I... I only realized after so long that I still can't forget you. Can you... give me another chance? Please? Even if it's just for Grandma."

Tang Luoqing was taken aback.

She never expected that Zhou Yanchen would suddenly appear just to say these things to her, and she never expected that Zhou Yanchen would come back to find her.

"Can't."

Without even thinking, Tang Luoqing refused: "Zhou Yanchen, I don't like you anymore."

Regardless of Zhou Yanchen's feelings for her, her feelings for him gradually began to fade after he hurt her time and time again. Tang Luoqing could not tolerate liking a man who hurt her. Even though she forgave him time and time again out of kindness, the ending would not change.

"No, you're lying. I'm your first love. People say that a girl's first love is the most unforgettable. It's only been a little over a month, you definitely can't forget me."

Before Zhou Yanchen could finish speaking, he pulled Tang Luoqing into his arms and wouldn't let go no matter how much she struggled.

"Zhou Yanchen, let go of me, do you hear me? Let go of me, Zhou Yanchen, I'm getting angry."

Tang Luoqing tried her best to break free from Zhou Yanchen's restraints, but the difference in strength between men and women was too great, and Zhou Yanchen was much taller than Tang Luoqing, so she couldn't break free at all.

until,

With a sudden punch landing on Zhou Yanchen's face, he was in so much pain that he released Tang Luoqing and took several steps back. Tang Luoqing also finally broke free of her restraints and gasped for breath.

Zhou Yanchen's expression changed when he saw the man who hit him.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his brow furrowed: "Brother?"

When Tang Luoqing saw the man protecting her, her heart, which had been tense for a long time, finally relaxed.
