Let me see how much you love each other

Xie Zongming went to pay the bill and I stood by the door to wait for him. I obviously didn't want to care, but my eyes still involuntarily looked towards Zhou Jin and Ye Qing, who were laughing at each other. Zhou Jin is so young and handsome, while my husband, Xie Zongming, is already in his middle years.

The difference was too great.

I hope that Xie Zongming can come over quickly. Standing here and looking at Ye Qing and Zhou Jin really makes me sad.

I saw that Zhou Jin had somehow walked to Xie Zongming's side, and after the two of them had exchanged a few words, Xie Zongming had walked over, and pulled my hand as he led me forward.

His hands were very hot and sweaty, I wanted to throw him off, but I suddenly felt Zhou Jin's gaze on me, he was sitting across from Ye Qing, his eyes landing on me.

I held Xie Zongming's hand, and the two of us were like a loving couple.

I leaned on the window, not looking up at all. Xie Zongming would look at me from time to time as he drove.

"We're here." Xie Zongming said carefully. I can tell that he had something on his mind, and at the moment, I am truly tired, and am not willing to reveal it to him.

This bar was very quiet, and the people here were all refined and cultured. I chose a corner and opened up a bottle of medium quality wine, ignoring Xie Zongming and started drinking by myself, the clinking of ice cubes in my cup could be heard.

"I'm sorry." Xie Zongming suddenly said, "I wanted to apologize to you for a long time, but I just don't know what to say."

I looked up at him, his face in the dim light, barely visible to me.

I picked up the glass and took another sip, the cold liquor burning in my throat, and the saxophone player in the corner of the bar stopped playing.

I waved my hand to indicate that I didn't mind.

"Teng Wan is leaving this place." Xie Zongming observed my expression and said carefully.

I knew he must have asked me out for something else, but at the moment I didn't want to argue with him.

"So?" I asked, taking another sip of my drink.

"She wanted to apologize to you in person before she left." Seeing that I did not have much of a reaction, Xie Zongming continued, "She's here."

It was only when I heard this that I was able to recover from the loss of Zhou Jin.

I slammed my glass on the table and glared at him. "You mean she's here now?"

Xie Zongming did not make a sound.

"Let her go." I said coldly, "Tell her to get lost." I repeated.

I stared at him, and maybe the cold in my eyes startled him. It was the first time he'd seen me like that.

He put his hands on his knees and kept rubbing his pants.

"What a coincidence." Just as the two of us were at a stalemate, a flirtatious female voice suddenly sounded.

I raised my eyes and looked over, to see Teng Wan dressed up like a beautiful woman.

She was wearing a white shirt and a flowery skirt. Her long hair was tied up with a clip and her face was still haggard. She was only in her early twenties, but she was dressed like a young woman.

"Yeah, what a coincidence." I snorted.

When Teng Wan heard my words, she came closer to me with a smile on her face. Both of her hands tried to grab onto my arm, but I dodged it, causing her to change her expression.

I looked at her without a word.

"It's because I'm young and insensible. I'm sorry." She bowed her head, gritting her teeth as she spoke, hating me so much for coming to apologize. What was behind that pitiful face of hers?

I lifted her chin and she looked at me, a flash of resentment in her eyes.

"Then get lost." "Don't make it sound like I'm the one who did it."

Teng Wan looked at me, glanced at Xie Zongming again, and finally stood up and sat on the sofa on the other side.

I didn't believe that she would apologize to me. She looked at me with eyes filled with venom, but she insisted on coaxing Xie Zongming into telling him to bring me here.

Could it be that Teng Wan's men were in this bar? I couldn't help but recall Teng Wan's resume. She had been hanging out on the streets ever since she was young. Didn't her ex-boyfriend go to jail?

I suspiciously sized up Teng Wan, but she happily poured me another cup of wine.

I pushed it away.

"Elder sister Xia, you will never forgive me in this life?" She held it up to my eyes.

I looked at Xie Zongming. He smiled at us, as if he didn't know what to say.

Looking at him, I suddenly felt sad.

Ever since Xie Zongming cheated, I have gradually stopped loving him and have become more clear on what kind of person he is.

He is weak, greedy, has good face, and doesn't put any women in his heart. I think that right now, he must be thinking that if Teng Wan and I can get along, he might be able to enjoy the blessings of the ancient people.

I pushed away the wine cup that Teng Wan had brought in front of me and stood up. "I'm going.

Teng Wan even brought her wine cup closer to me. When I pushed her away, I accidentally spilled some of the wine on her, causing her white clothes to be stained with the red wine.

"Big sister Xia, don't be in such a hurry to leave." She took my hand, and there was a sticky liquid on it that made me feel unspeakably sick.

"Xie Zongming, are you still planning to sit?" I scolded him, and he hurried to help us.

The argument between the three of us had already attracted the attention of others. It was already quiet here, and we appeared to be very out of place here.

"Elder sister Xia …" Teng Wan still held onto my hand tightly, as if she wanted to break my fingers.

Just at this moment, two people walked in from outside. I could see that it was Ye Qing and Zhou Jin.

I thought back to when Xie Zongming had paid the bill in the restaurant, and Zhou Jin had specially come over to talk to him. So that's what he meant, he had specially come over to let me see how much love he had with his new girlfriend.

They clung to each other, looking strangely sweet.

On my side, there are three people pulling each other's legs. Even if I win here, it would be too embarrassing.

Ye Qing seemed to want to greet her, but was stopped by Zhou Jin, who awkwardly sat at a table not too far away from us.

Ye Qing would glance over at the three of us from time to time, as if a little worried.

Zhou Jin looked at me calmly. His eyes were like an ancient well.

"Let me go." I raised the glass and made up my mind. If Teng Wan was still holding onto me, I would smash the glass into her face.

Teng Wan looked at me and she finally let go of me and took a step back. However, there was a smile on her lips and the coldness in her smile made me feel uncontrollably scared.

I could still feel Zhou Jin's gaze on me. I closed my eyes and pushed the discomfort out of my head, but my heart was still racing.

Xie Zongming looked at us, at a loss of what to do. I took a deep breath and poured a cup of wine onto his face, "That's enough, isn't it enough to watch the show?"

I heavily placed the cup on the table and ordered Xie Zongming, "Go drive the car now, I'm going to the washroom."

I turned around and warned Teng Wan, "Teng Wan, I don't want to see you ever again.

After Teng Wan heard what I said, she still didn't seem to agree with me.

I need to calm down now. I turned and went into the bathroom.

The toilet in the bar was temporarily empty. I turned on the faucet and splashed cold water on my face, forcing myself to calm down.

I looked at myself in the mirror, my face as white as snow. I had lived for more than thirty years and had never been so embarrassed.

I wiped my face with a handkerchief and came out of the bathroom, even dabbing at my lipstick. I was looking forward to it.

Zhou Jin was here, and I was looking forward to seeing him push me into a corner and tell me how much he needed me.

I smiled to myself. I knew that if this happened, then only my vanity would be satisfied.

But... He did not appear.

I slowly walked out of the bar and arrived at the underground parking lot, but I didn't see Xie Zongming.

I took out my cell phone from my handbag, but just as I dialed Xie Zongming's number out, the back of my head was smacked.
