16 Guilty Heart

Jiang Yan subconsciously looked at Su Jian and her eyes darkened as she smiled, "Of course not. The more the merrier."

"Alright," With that, Zhou Lu called his girlfriend with his voice as gentle as water.

On the way to the restaurant, Jiang Yan couldn't help but say, "Do you feel that Zhou Lu is like a different person when he's on the phone with his girlfriend? He wasn't like this when you were dating him."

In the past, when Su Jian and Zhou Lu were together, Zhou Lu never had any intimate behavior with her in front of outsiders, not even on the phone.

Su Jian thought to herself how Jiang Yan didn't see how Zhou Lu had been talking to his girlfriend on the phone for the past hour. He looked gentler than ever. 

In the past, when she sent messages to Zhou Lu, he would only reply with one or two words and it would take a long time before he even replied. Even so, she was still so happy that she made herself look like a fool.

Now that she thought about it, Su Jian understood how she was really like a bootlicker in the past. No wonder people didn't take her seriously.

Zhou Lu went to fetch Ye Nuan Nuan while Su Jian and Jiang Yan arrived at the restaurant first.

After a bit of a wait, Su Jian saw Ye Nuan Nuan holding Zhou Lu's arm intimately. The two of them chatted and laughed as they walked into the private room.

Ye Nuan Nuan was dressed in luxury goods, and the bag in her hand was a limited edition which made her look like a rich girl.

However, Su Jian had heard from Jiang Yan that her family background was actually very ordinary and she was currently a third-year undergraduate student.

It was obvious that Zhou Lu had bought all those things for her.

Su Jian couldn't help but recall that when they were together, Zhou Lu didn't give her anything. On the other hand, she had to work part-time and eat steamed buns for a month to finally save up enough money to buy a tie for him. In the end, Zhou Lu thought it was too cheap and he didn't wear it even once.

As expected, men would not cherish women who were willing to give themselves to them. If you want a man to love you, you have to be willing to spend his money.

"Ah Jian, Miss Ye is toasting you," Jiang Yan lightly kicked her and reminded her.

Su Jian came back to her senses and clinked her glass with Ye Nuan Nuan's.

"Ms. Su looks a little haggard. Is it because you're working too hard?" Ye Nuan Nuan leaned back lazily in her chair, her lips curled up slightly, looking seductive and charming.

It really proved that sexiness had nothing to do with age.

Su Jian hadn't had a good rest for two months and had indeed lost a lot of weight. She looked a lot more haggard than before and was only wearing a normal business suit today. Fortunately, she had a face and a figure to support her. If it was someone else, they would have been crushed by Ye Nuan Nuan.

"I'm indeed quite busy," Su Jian replied.

"Then your boyfriend must be heartbroken," Ye Nuan Nuan said with a charming smile.

Jiang Yan clearly noticed that Zhou Lu's hand that was holding the chopsticks had slowed down for a moment. She raised her eyebrows but didn't interrupt.

"My boyfriend is overseas," Su Jian said.

Ye Nuan Nuan looked surprised and raised her eyebrows, "Long distance? Aren't you afraid that your boyfriend will be snatched away by another woman?"

Su Jian replied from her own perspective, "A relationship requires mutual trust. If he is really taken away by another woman, it can only mean that we are not the right person for each other. Separating is the best outcome for us."

Ye Nuan Nuan's expression seemed to have changed, and her gaze became deep. She joked, "If someone dares to steal my boyfriend, I won't be as magnanimous as Ms. Su. I'd rather die than live in shame."

Su Jian could clearly sense that these words were meant for her and couldn't help feeling guilty.
