Chapter 58:如意郎君 (Part 1)

eaned on the sofa, thinking about these worrisome matters, gradually falling asleep.When Ruan Xu returned, Yan Luoxi was still dozing off on the sofa, breathing evenly. Her eyes were half-open and hal...Chapter 58 (Part 1) The Fortunate Gentleman

He Yufan is a smart person. She looked into the display window from where Yan Luoxi was standing and observed her expressions and actions, guessing that Yan Luoxi might have seen her with Fang Jianghai.

Sadly smiling helplessly, she hadn’t expected to run into Yan Luoxi here, much less for her biggest rival and the person she cared about most to witness her downfall!

He Yufan had a straightforward personality. She decided not to hide anything and greeted her warmly: "Luoxi, since we've unexpectedly met up here, why don't we find a place to talk"

"Okay." Yan Luoxi tried hard to mask her excitement, astonishment, and shock as she nodded.

At this moment, they were in no mood for food. He Yufan led Yan Luoxi to a nearby tea house with an antique style of decoration and poetic name hidden behind an old tree; one might mistake it for a small museum if not told otherwise.

The streets were crowded, but the expensive tea house was particularly quiet and solemn. A large hall stood empty except for servers indicating high prices charged here.

As soon as He Yufan entered with Yan Luoxi, a lady in cheongsam greeted them warmly: "Hello, Miss He! Shall we go straight to your private room"

"Yes." He Yufan nodded modestly.

Gazing at the elegant and almost empty hall, Yan Luoxi realized that this place didn’t cater to individual customers; only wealthy individuals had their own private rooms here.

He Yufan's private room was spacious enough for over ten people. Outside the window were small bridges and streams with pavilions and bamboo forests. Sitting there instantly gave one a sense of being detached from reality.

Yan Luoxi watched as He Yufan moved about freely in the room, placing her bags隨意地放在櫃子裡, confirming that He Yufan was a regular visitor here. She couldn’t help but be amazed by her luxurious lifestyle.

He Yufan seemed satisfied with her own performance and invited Yan Luoxi to sit down while ordering a pot of tea and a plate of crispy hand rolls, which looked somewhat like sushi, tasting sweet and refreshing.

"Yufan, how did you end up here" Yan Luoxi was too preoccupied to think about drinking tea or eating anything; she worriedly looked at He Yufan.

"Didn’t you just see me come in" He Yufan shrugged indifferently. "I came here for Fang Jianghai!"

Yan Luoxi used all her strength to carefully ask, "You and him... really are together..."

"Yes." He Yufan lifted two diamond rings the size of pigeon eggs on her fingers with a smile. After laughing for a while, she stared at Yan Luoxi without blinking, "Do you think it’s not worth it Do you think I’m vulgar and look down on me"

"No... No..." Yan Luoxi's face turned red as she awkwardly said, "I was just surprised."

He Yufan smiled indifferently. "There’s nothing to be surprised about; not everyone can meet handsome and wealthy princes like you do and have a romantic love story that everyone envies. Not everyone can live a life of luxury.

I am this kind of realistic woman. When I was young and impetuous, I valued love immensely, but once it’s lost, feeling the urge to die or kill myself. But now, I don’t think like that anymore; your youth is limited, so instead of spending energy and time on busy and complicated work, why not sit here drinking tea, reading books, shopping, enjoying life

Luoxi, do you remember our dreams back in college We dreamed of finding a satisfactory job and having a bright house that’s all ours. Our ultimate dream was to abandon monotonous work and do what we want. Look, I’ve already realized this ultimate dream!"

Hearing He Yufan say these words, Yan Luoxi really had nothing left to say; although they were once the best of friends, despite her deep concern for and longing towards He Yufan.

"Yu fan, as long as you feel happy!" Yan Luoxi replied weakly.

In fact, she wanted to remind He Yufan that in the dream she mentioned, there was a missing male lead. When they were lying together on the grass dreaming back then, the primary condition of their dreams was to find a suitable husband!

Now it seems like this wishful thinking has come true.

In a cold night in a foreign land, an affair between an experienced man and woman for mutual pleasure is nothing extraordinary. In fact, in today's era, such things are quite normal and fashionable.

A lover who can bring豐厚的物質 (abundant material benefits) and a boyfriend who is talented and handsome can both be had at the same time, making a woman's life perfect!

Yan Luoxi was speechless.

He Yufan looked out the window at the bamboo tips swaying in the wind, seemingly indifferent. He casually asked, "Luoxi, why did you come here"

Now Yan Luoxi's mind was a jumbled mess, and all she could think about was how He Yufan had become Fang Jianghai’s lover. Without thinking, she replied offhandedly, "I came to play with Li An."

When He Yufan heard that Yan Luoxi had come to play with Li An, her expression involuntarily changed slightly. She took a deep breath and glanced sideways at Yan Luoxi, asking somewhat indifferently, "So, are you now together with Li An"

Hearing He Yufan's question, Yan Luoxi snapped out of it, nodding uncomfortably.

He Yufan smiled bitterly, her face turning pale. "You and Li An were always meant to be a pair. If only we knew then what we know now!"

Indeed, why did it have to turn out this way!

Yan Luoxi couldn't help but feel a sense of infinite感慨.

The Red Thread Matchmaker really enjoys playing tricks on people!

If I had been with Li An from the very beginning, and Heyu Fan met Zhou Guangtao instead, wouldn't we be two perfect couples now Heyu Fan would be both my best friend and my sister-in-law, while Zhou Guangtao would be like a brother to me. How wonderful it would have been.

As Yan Luoxi imagined this scene, her face involuntarily broke into a smile.

When Heyu Fan saw the slight smile on Yan Luoxi's face, she felt as if she had been stabbed in the heart with a venomous needle.

In these days, she had been filled with regret and self-reproach towards Yan Luoxi, feeling deeply guilty. But now that she heard that Yan Luoxi was finally together with Li An, she couldn't help but feel an imbalance rise in her heart.

Fang Jianghai is rich enough to let her spend money lavishly, yet his wealth and status cannot compare to the Li family's at all. And Fang Jianghai’s appearance is a world apart from Li An’s!

Everyone hopes that their good friends will be happy, but they don't want them to be happier than themselves.

For the pain she had caused Yan Luoxi, Heyu Fan truly regretted it these days. But facing a Yan Luoxi who is several times more fortunate than herself, she found that she couldn’t bring herself to say sorry.ently. Seeing those mouthy females getting beaten made him feel a lot better now.Although he didn’t like Ní Xuānyī and even considered her as his rival, an enemy, these were all internal conflicts. Ní...
