“Go home?” Qin Zhiyou’s lips tighten, a deep frown appearing on his face. Almost instinctively, he nods.
However, as he travels halfway home in his car, he notices an adult store by the side of the road. For some reason, it reminds him of how Lu Weixi had emphasised that morning that he would definitely take the medication. The anger inside his heart grows, threatening to suffocate him.
Finally, he releases a long sigh, calmly stating, “Never mind, let’s go to the STAR instead.”
Qin Zhiyou comes to STAR alone. He doesn’t ask Yu Sixing and He Weiyou to accompany him, so he skips the private room and heads straight for the bar.
When the bartender asks him what to drink, he recalls the movie “Swordsman”. In it, there’s a mythical drink called “Life’s Drunken Dream”. It’s said that anyone who drinks it can forget everything about their past, whether joyful or not. But in reality, such a drink does not exist. It’s just a lie concocted by the female protagonist. The male protagonist didn’t want to forget his past, and neither did he.
“The strongest stuff you have. You choose,” he says.
Mid-drink, a call comes in, but he doesn’t answer. Soon, a text follows. He glances at it while holding his drink. It’s a rare message from his mother, Ms. Yang.
The first text is the habitual reprimand for not answering his mother’s call.
The second text is as usual – a request for money.
Given her brazenness, his mother makes her demand openly, asking for ten million to be transferred to her account. She claims she’s in Las Vegas, suffering from a string of bad luck, and has lost a lot. She urges him to cover her losses immediately.
The third text finally concerns him directly. She urges him to have a son with Lu Weixi, so the family’s fourth generation would earn more favor from their old father, and potentially secure him a larger inheritance.
Qin Zhiyou calmly reads his mother’s messages, one by one. He deletes them all without replying.
In front of him, countless empty bottles are lined up. Even though his stomach is filled with alcohol, his mind is exceedingly sharp and clear, not a hint of drunkenness in sight. Some women come over – some might be princesses looking to earn extra money, others are just out to have fun. They flock around him, but he pays no attention. He settles the bill, collects his coat, and leaves. novelbuddy.c(o)m
As he steps outside, there’s a woman waiting. She’s wearing a tight mini skirt, high heels, and her makeup is meticulously done. A surprised, infatuated, and pitiful look contorts her face as she lunges towards him, crying out: “Mr. Qin, Mr. Qin, I thought you didn’t want me anymore.”
Qin Zhiyou’s expression remains cold. Upon hearing her words, he casually reaches out and pats her arm off him disdainfully. Without a backward glance, he strides away.
Liu Yiyi, who is left behind, looks surprised. Ever since she was blacklisted for acting like a diva at the TV station a month ago, she hasn’t seen him. Her shows getting canceled, endorsements revoked, and calls ignored by Qin Zhiyou’s secretary. She was desperate, hence why she’d waited for him at STAR, and finally saw him today.
Qin Zhiyou had clearly admired her highly, always treating her with a smile. She refused to accept that she’s been blacklisted, she wasn’t ready to accept her fall from grace!
Just as Qin Zhiyou steps out of the entrance to STAR…
