"Dare to harass my girlfriend again, and I'll beat you to death!"
For the first time, Chen Fan sat in a bar, had a few drinks, and began to ponder about the day's events. The mere thought of a man in a Porsche threatening him while tugging his collar after school made him feel indescribable displeasure.
Lin Yun'er had been his classmate since junior high school and now in their first year of university, and they had been in love for three years. Their promises and expectations of the future had all become bubbles due to the appearance of this man!
What really pissed him off was that the man was not handsome at all. He had a big belly, wore a gold chain around his neck, had a greasy face, weighed at least 200 pounds, and wasn't even tall. Coupled with a swagger in his Porsche, he was just a nouveau riche! Except for his money, he was nothing.
Laughably, he didn't lose to a man, he lost to money!
Of course, such lamentations were only temporary. His real regret was not that Lin Yun'er had abandoned him. After all, beautiful women like her, who were hailed as the tenth-ranked campus beauty after entering university, even if you tried to please them, it would cause you insecurity.
The only regret he had was that he had been blind enough to choose such a woman!
"Ha, I, Chen Fan, must have been blind, to be with you for three years. From today on, you and I are finished. As for you, the fat man, if you dare, I'll definitely become richer than you!"
After saying this, he downed a glass of strong liquor. He would never come to such a place before as he had to earn his own tuition and living expenses. He would never come to such high-end places.
Moreover, Chen Fan would never drink strong liquor, at most he would drink beer. However, today, urged by his mood, he just gulped down one glass and immediately felt dizzy.
"There are so many beauties in the bar that you, Lin Yun'er, can't compare with." As he said this, he randomly looked around. Turning around, he saw a woman not far behind him, she was playing with a glass of wine in her hand, occasionally pouring a shot for herself.
Looking at her, Chen Fan felt tipsy and his breath staggered, he froze.
What type of woman was this?
Within the hazy and lively atmosphere, the woman drank alone, unaffected. She wore a short white dress which perfectly displayed her flawless figure: the slender long legs, the rising and falling chest, the exquisite facial features.
Just one glance and men would feel as if they were committing a sacrilege.
Chen Fan glanced once, quickly looked away, then couldn't help but look again.
Her shoulder-length hair cascaded down like a waterfall, lingering along her slender and fair neck. With a casual flicker of her long hair, it left people feeling as if they were witnessing a "woman of many charms".
This kind of woman, even if she's casually sitting in the farthest corner, is still like a lily hidden deep within the night—pure and captivating.
How could there exist a woman so beautiful to the point of perfection?
Even Lin Yun'er, in front of her, would probably seem lackluster.
"Beauty, how about a drink?" Just then, a man wearing gold chains, who weighs over 200 pounds, walked up.
This man was clothed in gold and silver, clearly a nouveau riche. Otherwise, a real boss wouldn't flaunt their "wealth" so outwardly.
Seeing this man, Chen Fan immediately thought of Lin Yun'er’s nouveau riche “boyfriend”, which ignited a fire in his heart. However, he still chose to sit down and watch silently.
The woman raised her head in puzzlement and then shook her head, "I prefer to drink alone." Her voice was not loud, but very pleasant to the ear.
The woman's rejection did not deter the man. He was instead attracted by her melodious voice, and continued to smile, "Then do you enjoy drinking with it?" The man took out a wallet from his pocket, very pleased with himself, and slapped it on the table. He smilingly said to the woman, "All of this is yours, if you drink with me.”
"Are you very rich?" The woman glanced at the chubby man and casually retorted.
"Hehe, I wouldn't dare to say I'm very rich, but there are tens of thousands in this wallet. How about it? I think you should be interested now, right?”
Upon hearing the chubby man's words, the woman reached out and picked up the wallet. Just when the man thought she would agree, she casually tossed the wallet onto the ground, saying indifferently, "Sorry, I'm not interested in your money.”
Upon finishing her words, the woman raised her glass and approached Chen Fan. She glanced at him, her eyes sending him flirtatious glances, seductively yet meaningfully saying, “I’m rather interested in you, though. Would you like to have a drink?”
Looking at the raised glass in the woman's hand, then at the discarded wallet on the ground, Chen Fan was surprised. The chubby man didn't notice, but he saw everything clearly. The casually displayed watch and accessories on the woman were all haute couture! Especially the brooch on the woman’s chest, it's not something you can buy just by being rich.
With just a fleeting glance, Chen Fan concluded that even if the fat man's meat was priced at gold, it wouldn't match up to the money he spent on his clothes.
"You... ruthless!" Angered, the fat man glared at Chen Fan, huffed and stormed off without another word.
"Pretty lady, why seek me out?" Chen Fan glanced over at the woman across him, puzzled. He could not understand why she would choose him. Given her lavish lifestyle, she could probably have a line of men waiting to wine and dine her extending from the bar to another country.
"Take a guess!" the woman softly chuckled, shooting a playful glance at Chen Fan, resembling a little wildcat.
"Could it be..." Chen Fan laughed, raising an eyebrow, "That you've taken a liking to me?"
"Pfft!"
Upon hearing Chen Fan's words, the woman let out an uncontrollable laugh, "No, no, no, it's because you're the only one here without a girl."
Chen Fan surveyed the surrounding, indeed, that was the case.
With her alluring eyes fixed on Chen Fan, the woman continued, "Because you look innocent. Is this your first time at a bar?"
"Ah, so you're saying I'm unsophisticated?” Upon hearing her comment, Chen Fan chuckled and lifted his glass. "Cheers to your honesty!"
"Cheers!”
Their glasses clinked together, and they each gulped down their drinks.
Placing her glass down, the woman casually commented, “Not unsophisticated, but rather, precious." Her voice soft, quickly drowned by the loud music.
Time slipped away, and before they knew it, they had each consumed a fair bit of alcohol. As he glanced over the empty bottles at the bar, Chen Fan began seeing the woman beside him as Lin Yun Er. Shaking his head vigorously, he looked again only to realise it was just his blurry vision.
Clearly, this woman couldn't hold her liquor well, her face flushed red, but she remained quite the enchantress. Even drunk, she was utterly charming.
"Hey, I can guarantee you, the woman who dumped you will definitely regret it?"
The woman's voice rang in Chen Fan's ears again. Hearing her words, Chen Fan poured himself a glass of wine, and said indifferently, "She surely will."
Upon hearing Chen Fan's reply, the woman was slightly taken aback. She raised her glass and commanded, "Drink."
Mutual company in similar woes!
Chen Fan didn't expect that this woman could hold her liquor well. Without hesitation, he grabbed the bottle and poured a glass for each of them.
"And why are you here?" Pushing forward into a conversation with a beautiful woman couldn't possibly involve just drinking, could it? Chen Fan took the initiative to speak up. Upon hearing Chen Fan's question, the woman smiled bitterly and replied, "Just troubled."
"Romance troubles?"
"No."
"Work issues?" Upon hearing Chen Fan's question, the woman chuckled, "Do I look like someone who needs to work?"
Chen Fan was left speechless, indeed she did not.
The woman smiled and uttered, "My dad wants me to marry a man I do not have feelings for."
"I can understand." Chen Fan nodded in response.
"You wouldn't understand. With your meager means, how could you possibly comprehend?" With that, the woman raised her glass once more, took a deep breath, and let out a sigh, "Forget it. Even if I explain, you wouldn't understand. If you did, you wouldn't be lovesick. Let's drink."
"No more drinking," Chen Fan shook his head, his tone firm, "Any more and you'll get drunk."
"Do I seem like the type to get drunk?" The woman stood up, lifted her wine glass, slowly leaned in towards Chen Fan, exhaled softly, and whispered, "As long as you drink to your heart's content with me tonight, I'll accompany you all night long, how about that?"
