Chapter 202: Unexplained Compatibility

Back home.

It was past 11:00 AM, the sun was shining brightly.

Yet Ling Feng's heart shattered into shards of ice at this moment.

He saw Gu Yunting.

At this hour, and in the United States, if it wasn't a deliberate date, how could they be together? Also, why was Bai Shunan dressed so sexily?

His mind went blank; he couldn't remember anything he had chatted about with Bai Shunan afterward.

He only remembered hanging up the phone in silence.

After so many years of devotion, he still hadn't managed to win the beauty's heart; his heart was filled with deep frustration.

……

Bai Shunan also hung up the phone. She looked at Gu Yunting, who had sat back down in his seat, and asked him, "Why did you come over?"

"Just to see who you were chatting with," Gu Yunting said. "I wanted to go over and say hello, but I didn't expect him to hang up. I feel like he's going to misunderstand us. Tell me, should I go explain it to him?"

Bai Shunan said with disdain, "You really are such a bitch!"

Gu Yunting put on a worried look: "The way we are, it really is easy for people to misunderstand. How about you go explain it?"

Bai Shunan sneered: "Your acting skills are truly masterful. Why didn't you use them on Mo Wanqing back then?"

Gu Yunting, who had been grinning just a moment ago, now had his face turn cold: "Why bring her up?"

Bai Shunan then remarked: "Like children playing house, childish."

Gu Yunting still wanted to explain, but at this moment, the waiter brought the food.

The service here was very good; every time a dish was served, the waiter would introduce it and tell them how to eat it to make it taste best.

Gu Yunting then focused on eating.

……

It was already the early hours of the morning when they finished eating.

Gu Yunting dropped Bai Shunan off at the hotel.

He got out of the car first, then went to help Bai Shunan open the car door.

After Bai Shunan got out, she said to him, "President Gu, thank you for driving me back."

"Don't just say thanks with your mouth, give me something practical," Gu Yunting said.

At the same time, he leaned in close to her, pinning her against the car door.

Bai Shunan wasn't nervous. After standing steady, she pushed his chest, and he was forced to step back.

Bai Shunan said, "After returning to the country, I'll treat you to a meal."

"Takeout?"

"Not takeout. In any case, wait for my news."

"That means no news then," Gu Yunting said.

Bai Shunan had already walked into the hotel lobby, and Gu Yunting continued to follow her.

She asked, "Why are you following me?"

"I'm worried, I want to see you to your room door."

Bai Shunan entered the elevator, and he followed her in.

The elevator was narrow. Bai Shunan swiped her card, and the elevator slowly reached the 8th floor. Bai Shunan stepped out of the elevator and said, "President Gu, I've arrived, you can go now."

Gu Yunting, however, leaned in close to her, his eyes twitching: "Do you really want me to leave?"

"Does President Gu want to stay and sleep with me?" Bai Shunan asked directly.

Gu Yunting's desire was ignited. He couldn't help but wrap his arms around her waist, pinning her against the wall next to the elevator, and lowered his head to say: "Bai Shunan, you know it, I still have lingering feelings for you. You must still have feelings for me too, right?"

Bai Shunan was pinned by him and unable to move.

A familiar scent washed over her, and all she could think of were the past days.

Some things, even if you bury them deep in your memory, it doesn't mean you can't recall them. When one day, the memory is awakened, these things will consume you.

Gu Yunting's kiss descended upon her, forceful and demanding, as if the passion suppressed for many, many years was about to erupt at this moment.

Until, Bai Shunan suddenly stepped on his foot. He was in so much pain his waist bent, and naturally, he recoiled from her like a reflex.

Bai Shunan ran to her room, swiped the door open with the card in her hand, and before Gu Yunting could chase after her, she had already locked the door.

Outside, the doorbell rang a few times and then went silent.

She leaned against the back of the door, breathing heavily.

……

Back home.

Nighttime.

Ling Feng went to that same bar again.

He had been depressed for a long time today, even sleeping in the afternoon, having no interest in doing anything.

Someone in the bar was singing: "The one who loves me is infatuated and has no regrets for me, yet I am heartbroken and weeping for the one I love..."

What era is this, that someone is still singing this kind of song!

Ling Feng walked to the bar counter and ordered a drink.

This song was too sad, so sad that he couldn't help but be furious, so he walked to the front and shouted, "Can you change the song..."

The singing stopped abruptly, and Ling Feng himself was also stunned.

Wasn't the person singing Mou Lili? Today she wasn't wearing a leather jacket, but a white dress, a pair of black high-top boots, and was wearing many chains, looking both pure and punk-styled.

Mou Lili looked at him, a sneer appearing on her face: "Young Master Ling, heartbroken? So full of rage?"

Ling Feng's temper subsided for a moment: "Change the song you're singing."

"What song would Young Master Ling like to hear?"

"In any case, just don't play songs about heartbreak."

"Alright, how about I give you something fresh and light?"

After Ling Feng went down, Mou Lili apologized to the people in the bar: "I'm sorry, everyone. I can't sing that song 'The One Who Loves Me and the One I Love' anymore, because there is a friend here who is heartbroken, and he doesn't want to hear it. However, heartbreak is no big deal. We shouldn't lose our longing for a beautiful life just because of someone who doesn't cherish us, nor should we stop believing in love just because of one heartbreak. So, I will present everyone with 'Rainbow', and I hope you all like it."

"Why is the sky so quiet, all the clouds have run to me, is there a mask for me, perhaps time is an antidote, and also the poison I am currently taking..."

Mou Lili's voice was low and deep, not the sweet kind of voice; this type of voice could handle different types of songs.

The originally noisy bar quieted down because of the song she was singing, and many people watched her sing.

Ling Feng was also listening below.

But he remained sad; yes, where is there a rainbow, could there be a medicine to cure heartbreak?

He drank several glasses of alcohol.

After Mou Lili finished singing, the style changed again; she suddenly became a DJ again and started spinning discs.

Ling Feng's sadness seemed to be disturbed; he could no longer immerse himself in his own sorrow, and as people on the scene started dancing and shaking their hips, he also blended into it, and as he danced, he suddenly felt not so sad anymore.

Bai Shunan does not accept him; isn't this something he knew from the beginning?

Since there is no expectation, where would there be disappointment?

In life, one must still indulge and make oneself happy; after all, one lives one day at a time.

Ling Feng was dancing, and at some point, Mou Lili also came down.

Mou Lili was like a little enchantress, a cat spirit.

She danced with Ling Feng, coordinating very well; no matter what move he made, she could keep up.

The people around watched these two, only feeling they were inexplicably in sync.

Ling Feng asked her amidst the booming music while dancing: "When do you get off work?"

Mou Lili said: "11 o'clock."

"Then after you get off work, shall we go get a late-night snack together?"

"Sure," said Mou Lili.
