Chapter 269 The Sweet Atmosphere of an Old Married Couple
Liang Liangwei was talking to Su Xiaorong when she heard the voice and looked up.
There were more than ten people in the private room, some drinking and chatting, some singing and dancing. The lighting was dim, and she didn't recognize who they were at first glance.
"You are……"
The person who came was very tall and slightly bent over. When she asked him that question, he moved closer and revealed a face with a sinister air. He was none other than the magazine cover model she had photographed yesterday.
"I'm Shengwei. We just met yesterday. Have you forgotten me?"
A strong smell of alcohol hit Liang Liangwei, almost suffocating her.
Wrinkling her nose, she moved aside and said, "Sorry, I have a bad memory and I really don't remember. Could you please move away a bit? You're interrupting our conversation."
Liang Liangwei sat on one side with Su Xiaorong on the other, and on the other side was the armrest of the sofa. Sheng Wei plopped down on the armrest and said with a smile, "Let me reintroduce myself. My name is Sheng Wei, and I was the model yesterday. It's okay if you don't remember me. We'll get to know each other better after a while. Yesterday we were strangers, but after today we'll be acquaintances~ What are you guys talking about? Shall I join in?"
Su Xiaorong glanced at Sheng Wei, then looked at Liang Liangwei, who had a look of disgust on her face, and asked her with her eyes who this person was.
The two had known each other for many years and had a great understanding. Liang Liangwei returned her gaze: "You organized this gathering, and you don't know who's involved?"
Su Xiaorong: [Not all the people were brought by me.]
We can't discuss anything more detailed like this anymore. Su Xiaorong looked at Sheng Wei and smiled, "We're all girls in this row, so the things we're talking about might not be of interest to you. I'm afraid we won't be able to connect."
Sheng Wei: "Tell me what you guys are talking about? Maybe I actually know quite a bit about it."
One girl playfully replied, "You even know what it means to talk about periods?"
Several girls burst out laughing, leaning against each other, with Su Xiaorong laughing the loudest.
Liang Liangwei used the act of drinking to conceal the smile on her lips.
One sip of the wine was sweet and mellow, a very familiar taste. I glanced at the bottle and sure enough, it was a Bosch red wine.
The wine was chosen by Su Xiaorong; she has excellent taste!
Even the thick-skinned Sheng Wei was embarrassed by the girl's bold words. He chuckled awkwardly and took out his phone to say to them, "Let's be friends, add each other on WeChat."
Some girls actually added me.
Su Xiaorong smiled and said, "I'm sorry, my WeChat friend list is full, I can't add any more."
Sheng Wei: "So many? What does this young lady do?"
Su Xiaorong: "Guess~"
Sheng Wei: "I wouldn't dare guess the girls' secrets~"
His target was Liang Liangwei, and he grinned at her, gesturing, "Weiwei, let's add each other on WeChat~"
Liang Liangwei said calmly, "Sorry, my phone is out of battery."
Just as Sheng Wei was about to say he didn't believe it, Su Xiaorong deliberately chimed in, "That's right, I've noticed lately that my phone battery is becoming less and less durable. I fully charge it in the morning and leave, but it's already dead by the afternoon. I fully charge it again, but it's dead again by dinner time. Weiwei, is it the same for you?"
Liang Liangwei: "Yes, that's right."
Sheng Wei gritted his teeth and said, "That's really 'unfortunate'~"
Liang Liangwei chuckled and turned to her outspoken friend: "Hey, you mentioned before that some medicine made your period cramps less painful. What medicine is it? Can you recommend one?"
The girls started chatting about "menstrual cycles," which made Shengwei even more embarrassed to interrupt. He could only sit there with a stiff face for a while before leaving dejectedly.
After the person left, Su Xiaorong whispered to Liang Liangwei, "Who was that person?"
Liang Liangwei: "Didn't I go out to shoot a magazine cover yesterday? He's the model."
Su Xiaorong: "No wonder he's so tall and has a nice face, but he looks so sleazy that it's unpleasant to look at."
Liang Liangwei frowned and said, "I don't want to talk about him; it's a waste of breath."
She took a wine bottle from the coffee table and poured wine for the two of them.
“This wine tastes really good,” Su Xiaorong said. “I went home a couple of days ago, and my parents were having a romantic celebration for their wedding anniversary. They drank this wine, and I tried some too. Guess what?”
Liang Liangwei: "What's wrong?"
Su Xiaorong: "I've fallen in love with this wine!" She then burst into laughter.
Liang Liangwei couldn't help but laugh.
Noticing that she was being watched, she casually glanced around and saw Sheng Wei sitting on a sofa surrounded by men on the other side, drinking and staring at her.
Seeing her looking over, he grinned and swirled the glass in his hand at her.
Liang Liangwei calmly withdrew her gaze, pretending not to have seen it.
Su Xiaorong continued, "When I see my parents drinking so happily, I suddenly feel a sense of envy."
Liang Liangwei tilted her head and asked, "Are you envious of them drinking?"
Su Xiaorong glanced at her: "Don't you have any romantic sense at all? I'm talking about the atmosphere—that sweet atmosphere of an old married couple~"
Liang Liangwei laughed and said, "Then you should hurry up and marry your boyfriend so you can experience that kind of atmosphere sooner."
Su Xiaorong pouted: "After getting married, everything becomes a mess, so annoying."
Liang Liangwei: "You're so conflicted. You want to be an old married couple, but you're also afraid of all the little squabbles that will happen."
Su Xiaorong: "So it's better to just focus on dating~"
The two girls smiled at each other, clinked their glasses, and each took a sip.
Liang Liangwei glanced at her watch; it was almost 10 o'clock. She had drunk about five glasses and was already feeling a bit tipsy. She wanted to go home and go to sleep early.
"Xiaorong, I'm going back now."
Su Xiaorong, her eyes also blurry with drunkenness, asked, "Shall I call a designated driver for you?"
Liang Liangwei: "Mind your own business. The front desk can call a designated driver. I'll just ask them to arrange it for me when I go out."
Su Xiaorong: "Then I'll go out with you?"
He made a move to get up.
Liang Liangwei laughed and pressed her down, saying, "You're even more drunk than me~ I can go out by myself~"
She looked around: "Where's Gao Nan?"
One girl answered, "Nan was picked up by her younger brother."
Liang Liangwei waved to them, got up and left the private room.
She went to the restroom to splash water on her face, and after she was slightly more awake, she walked towards the club's front desk.
As she turned the corner, a figure appeared and stopped her: "Weiwei~"
Liang Liangwei looked up and saw Sheng Wei again. She frowned with annoyance: "It's you again. What do you want?"
Sheng Wei smiled and said, "Don't be so cold. I really just want to make friends with you. Isn't it fate that we've seen each other for two days in a row?"
Liang Liangwei pursed her lips and chuckled: "Fate?"
Sheng Wei nodded eagerly: "Yes, I feel like we're destined to meet. You said your phone was dead, right? Can we add each other on WeChat?"
He took out his phone again.
While he was checking WeChat, Liang Liangwei walked a few steps to the front desk and smiled at the female clerk sitting behind it, saying, "Fangfang, I always see you working when I come here. We're so lucky!"
The girl named Fangfang had overheard Shengwei's persistent nagging at her. She covered her mouth and laughed, saying, "Yes, what a coincidence, Miss Liang. Is there anything you need?"
Liang Liangwei: "Could you please call a designated driver for me? Thank you~"
Fangfang: "Okay, please wait a moment."
A moment later he said, "The designated driver is having a late-night snack and will be here in two minutes."
Liang Liangwei nodded her thanks, gave the license plate number and parking location, and then walked towards the clubhouse entrance.
Sheng Wei immediately followed him out: "Weiwei..."
The door was opened by Liang Liangwei, and a gust of wind carrying snow blew in. Liang Liangwei pulled her scarf tighter and went out.
Sheng Wei followed her out and, in his haste, grabbed Liang Liangwei's hand: "Weiwei, give me a chance..."
Liang Liangwei felt even more annoyed. The moment he touched her, she abruptly turned around, her eyes wide with anger, and shouted, "Get away! Don't touch me!"
Sheng Wei was taken aback for a moment, then became angry as well: "You think you're so great, huh? You won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences. You're just a photographer who takes pictures for a magazine, do you really think you're so superior? I've really messed with you tonight, so what?"
He gripped Liang Liangwei's arm tightly and used his size advantage to drag her to a corner.
Liang Liangwei was startled, her expression changed instantly, and she forcefully shook him off: "What do you want to do? Get away!"
But Sheng Wei is over 1.9 meters tall, and during the struggle, she was still dragged in that direction.
Just as they were panicking, they heard a man's angry voice shout: "Let her go—"
