Thinking about it, Fred looked towards the door of the Royal Pub again.
There, Xichen was no longer around, only the bright lights in the pub hall and a row of neatly dressed service staff came into view.
Here, Xichen walked in and told the waiter inside the name of the private room mentioned in the text message sent by Fu Ziyi.
When the waiter heard this, he immediately nodded and bowed and led her in.
After all, Fu Ziyi is a frequent visitor here.
Following the waiter up the spiral staircase to the second floor, Xichen looked at the decoration here and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Sure enough, as time goes by, some things have changed.
For example, the decoration in the lobby of this pub is very different from a few years ago.
Come to think of it, it must have been renovated in the past few years.
Just as she was sighing, the waiter walking in front of her stopped, opened the door of the box, made a "please" gesture and said: "Miss, please come inside."
"Um."
Seeing this, Xichen nodded with a smile and walked in.
The light inside the box was very dim.
Only a small dim lamp was on.
However, it was enough to illuminate the entire box.
Although it is not very bright, you can see every corner here clearly.
The people in the box and Xichen were obviously startled after seeing each other.
But Fu Ziyi was at the side to smooth things over and said with a smile: "Xichen, you're here, please help me persuade him. He's been so drunk these days that he even vomited all over my sheets.
How many are there?"
When Xichen heard this, he couldn't help being surprised, but he replied with a smile on his face: "Can you still feel sorry for so many sheets?"
After saying that, he threw his handbag on the sofa and sat on the sofa as naturally as possible.
At this time, Lan Xiuli was holding a glass of wine in his hand and drinking heavily.
It seemed that he stopped when he saw Xichen coming.
"It must be Ziyi who asked you to come."
When Lan Xiuli said this, he didn't even look at Xichen, but drank all the wine in his hand, and then continued: "You are not enjoying your wonderful life in England, why did you suddenly think of it?
Returned to China?"
Although, his tone was as cold and suppressed as possible.
However, deep in the words, the excitement coming from the bottom of my heart was still revealed, unable to be concealed.
When Fu Ziyi saw this, he said: "Haha, Xichen, I'm sorry for calling you here today. You two say a few words first, and I'll go out and call for some food."
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Xichen to reply, he stood up and walked out.
Xichen, on the other hand, glanced at the exquisite food placed on the coffee table in front of him and understood the reason why Fu Ziyi did this.
After thinking for a while, Lan Xiuli became like this, which indeed had something to do with her. If this knot was not untied, she would feel guilty in her heart.
"My cousin died and I came back to attend the funeral."
Xichen took a deep breath quietly and answered Lan Xiuli's question very seriously.
When Lan Xiuli heard this, he looked stunned for a moment, and then said with a bit of surprise in his eyes: "Dead? Didn't you say he just disappeared?"
"He disappeared. In fact, he fell off a cliff and died."
Xichen's tone of voice was still very calm.
The words fell and the silence spread at this moment...
For a long time, neither of them spoke, but Lan Xiuli poured himself another glass of wine.
This time, he did not drink it in his mouth, but held it in his hand and shook it gently.
The color of the pure foreign wine contrasted beautifully with the dim light in the box.
"sorry."
Lan Xiuli's voice suddenly sounded in the air, and then he drank a glass of foreign wine without any scruples.
Xichen saw it in his eyes and in his heart, he couldn't help but feel worried for him.
Bitterness spread in my heart at this moment.
Why did he torture himself like this?
"You have nothing to apologize to me for."
As she said this, she stood up, walked to Lan Xiuli's side in a few steps, and stopped him from pouring foreign wine.
"Stop drinking, this is foreign wine!"
Foreign wine has always been strong, and drinking it the way he did was very harmful to the body.
"Oh, please leave me alone."
Lan Xiuli didn't expect her to be like this suddenly. He couldn't help but raise his head and look at Xichen who was staring at him with lowered eyes: "You are not mine, so don't meddle in other people's business."
"Lan Xiuli, don't do this, I will worry..."
Finally, I couldn't help it anymore and tears fell from my eyes.
After all, she is the man she once loved deeply. Now, although she no longer loves her, the love she once had is still there.
How could she remain indifferent while watching him ruin her body like this?
But Lan Xiuli was stunned when he saw her tears falling.
He just stared at her blankly until he couldn't help but stand up and reached out his hand to wipe away the tears on her cheeks.
"You cried..."
A caring voice sounded in the box, and the movements of his hands were very gentle. However, there was a vague urge to cry in his words.
"I told you, I'll be worried about you."
Xichen stood stubbornly and emphasized, but the tears flowed out like a flood that had opened a flood gate and could not be stopped no matter what.
How high-spirited was he once?
But what about now? Look at him like this again.
There was a lot of stubble on the resolute chin, and the whole person looked decadent.
His complexion is not as healthy as it used to be. Instead, his complexion is a little yellow. It is obvious at a glance that he must not have had a good rest these days.
