Chapter Seventy-Nine: Going Out
The word embarrassment has the most comprehensive embodiment in my body today, although I tried my best to squeeze out a happy smile on my face, but there was tension in my heart that could not be said.
At the dinner table, Wu Yao and I sat together, we didn't talk to each other, we were all chatting with the people next to us. Li Man was promoting to me how good Wu Yao was, and Xu Shaohui was instilling in Wu Yao how difficult it had been in the past few years, and it was obvious that they were still thinking about what I could do with Wu Yao.
But the ring on my hand is still shiny, and it is still dazzling on the dining table, so that every time Wu Yao accidentally catches a glimpse, his eyebrows will wrinkle slightly, and he will suddenly stop when he is talking.
I know very well that it is impossible for me to be with him, even if I can't be with Ouyang Ze again in the future, it doesn't mean that I will return to Wu Yao's side, no matter how good he is to me, it will stop there.
"At the cocktail party that day, was it you who eavesdropped on me talking to Xu Shaohui?"
"That's right, it's me."
Li Man didn't shy away, she easily picked up the wine glass from the table and took a sip on the rim.
"At that time, it was like looking at you from a distance, to see how you were doing, who knew that you would be discovered, fortunately, Wu Yao picked up the names on the list, otherwise you should have found out at that time."
"And why did you follow me in the first place?"
After changing the topic, we didn't bother about me and Wu Yao anymore, but found out Li Man's whereabouts in the past few years.
"I just came to the United States at that time, and I wanted to tell you what kind of person Ouyang Ze was as soon as possible, but Wu Yao didn't let me be impulsive and said... Ouyang Ze still cares about you, ha! I don't think he would know that Ouyang Ze would be so deadly and not change! β
Li Man's tone was very sarcastic, as if he was very dissatisfied with Wu Yao's misjudgment. But I didn't understand the word "dead and unchanging".
Seeing the confusion on my face, Li Man explained again.
"You don't really think that Ouyang Ze fell in love with you at first sight, right? Don't be funny! β
I didn't speak, I just lowered my head and listened to what Li Man said, although every sentence was so sarcastic, but what he said made sense, and it was true.
"Li Man, let's talk about this later, today is Chen Rui's birthday."
Xu Shaohui lowered his voice and reminded Li Man, Li Man saw that I didn't speak, and realized that something was wrong, so he didn't continue.
It turns out that in the end, I still seem to know the least things, even outsiders can see Ouyang Ze clearly, but I still have naΓ―ve fantasies... Ouyang Ze, how much are you hiding from me...
The atmosphere became awkward again, everyone present did not say a word, and the knives and forks in their hands remained on the plate and did not move.
"Well, I'm running out of red wine at home, I'll go downstairs and buy a few bottles."
The tension was almost suffocating, and I just wanted to get out of here and get some fresh air.
"I'll go, it's your birthday."
As he spoke, Xu Shaohui wiped his mouth and stood up, and he was about to go out before I could speak.
"Let's go, you're not familiar with this piece, besides, it's just to buy a drink, and it's not a big deal, there's no need to make such a fuss."
I pushed Xu Shaohui back to his seat, although he wanted to refuse, but he couldn't resist me, so he could only sit obediently on the chair, and when he was about to open his mouth, I blocked his mouth again.
"Obedient! Sit down! β
After saying that, I picked up my wallet and walked out of the room quickly, but the moment I went out, the tears I could hold back slipped from the corners of my eyes...
