Xia Rui walked into the bar.

Her eyes swept through the crowd and saw Wei Jingshen sitting at the bar. She paused slightly. Joy, anticipation, and a hint of imperceptible nervousness intertwined in her heart, causing her heartbeat to speed up a bit.

She adjusted her mood, her signature smile bloomed on her face, she stopped in front of Wei Jingshen, smiled and said, "I thought you were missing."

Wei Jingshen raised his head and smiled, "I've been busy dating recently." Then he took the hand of Feng Jiajia beside him and introduced her to Xia Rui, "This is my girlfriend, Feng Jiajia."

Feng Jiajia smiled and nodded to Xia Rui.

When Xia Rui saw the two of them holding hands, she felt a sense of loss in her heart, but she hid it and said with a smile, "It turns out to be Miss Feng. Nice to meet you."

Wei Jingshen turned to Feng Jiajia and introduced: "This is Xia Rui, the bar owner, and Jiang Huainian's cousin."

Feng Jiajia immediately smiled faintly, took the initiative to extend her hand and greeted Xia Rui: "Nice to meet you, Miss Xia. I have heard of your great name for a long time, and seeing you today, I can see that you are indeed worthy of your reputation."

Xia Rui gently held Feng Jiajia's hand, maintaining a proper smile, "Ms. Feng, you are too polite. I am busy with other things, so I am sorry for the poor hospitality. I hope you have fun in the bar."

She turned and left. Although her steps were calm, the smile on her face gradually disappeared, replaced by a barely perceptible bitterness.

The first time Wei Jingshen solemnly introduced his girlfriend was when he was talking to her...

Feng Jiajia gently shook the red wine glass in her hand, and the red wine swirled in the glass. She looked at Wei Jingshen and asked, "You two have a special relationship, right?"

Wei Jingshen raised a playful smile and asked, "Oh? How do you mean?"

Feng Jiajia blinked and said, "Women's sixth sense. With your personality, if Xia Rui was just an ordinary friend, why would you bring me to her bar now? Did you have an affair?"

Wei Jingshen shook his head and said with a smile: "We are not having an affair. We grew up together."

Feng Jiajia raised her eyebrows, took a sip of red wine, then gently put down the glass, looked directly at Wei Jingshen, and asked, "Does she like you?"

Wei Jingshen remained silent, which was considered as an answer to her question.

Feng Jiajia's heart suddenly felt like it was blocked by something. Her brows were slightly furrowed, but the frown disappeared in an instant.

She gently pinched Wei Jingshen's chin, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she teased: "You must have accumulated a lot of virtue in your previous life."

Wei Jingshen lowered his head and kissed her hand, saying, "Yes, I must have been a very kind person in my previous life, so I can have a treasure like you in this life."

Feng Jiajia asked: "Did you bring me here to make her give up?"

Wei Jingshen nodded slightly and did not deny it.

Feng Jiajia chuckled, shook her head and said, "You are so cruel."

Wei Jingshen was silent for a moment before he spoke slowly: "Maybe, a short pain is worse than a long one. It's not fair to you either. I don't want her to continue to sink in the wrong relationship. Ending it early may be a relief for her."

After that, he slowly walked to the stage. The lights on the stage shone on his face. He picked up the lead singer's microphone, tested the sound gently, then looked at the people in the audience and said, "I want to sing a song for my girlfriend."

Xia Rui's hand, which was signing the document, suddenly paused. The tip of the pen hovered in mid-air. Ink droplets slowly accumulated and finally dripped, leaving a vague mark.

She looked up at the stage, where Wei Jingshen was gazing at Feng Jiajia affectionately, his eyes full of tenderness and love. And she seemed to be isolated and could not fit into his world.

Wei Jingshen held the microphone and sang affectionately: "It's a beautiful night, we're looking for something dumb to do, Hey baby, I think I wanna marry you..."

This is a marriage proposal song: "Marry You". The melody is melodious, the lyrics are sincere, and every word is like a needle piercing into Xia Rui's heart.

At that moment, Xia Rui's heart seemed to be grabbed by something, and the pain was so severe that she could hardly breathe. She felt an unprecedented sense of loss and helplessness, as if the whole world was collapsing in an instant.

She lowered her head and continued to work on the documents at hand. Although her vision was blurry, she still tried to stay calm.

It felt like a thorn was stabbed in her heart, and the sharp pain kept irritating her nerves. She bit her lower lip tightly, endured the pain and signed her name, then looked up and smiled at the manager, saying in a steady voice: "Okay."

The manager looked at her with red eyes.

He knew the past between Xia Rui and Wei Jingshen, and could feel the pain Xia Rui was feeling deep inside. He gently patted Xia Rui on the shoulder and said, "Thank you, President Xia, you've worked hard."

Xia Rui nodded slightly, not letting her emotions show.

After Wei Jingshen finished singing the song, he turned his gaze to Feng Jiajia, with deep love in his eyes. It seemed as if his eyes could only accommodate her, filled with endless tenderness and attachment.

Feng Jiajia's heart was complicated. She knew that such an action was undoubtedly cruel to Xia Rui, but she also understood that this was the most direct way to end all the entanglements. She took a deep breath, put on a faint smile, and walked out of the bar hand in hand with Wei Jingshen.

Xia Rui looked at their backs as they walked away, and the pain in her heart surged up again, out of control. She felt like a traveler abandoned on a deserted island, surrounded by the vast ocean, helpless and lonely.

She walked towards the bar with heavy steps and ordered a glass of strong liquor in a hoarse voice. The stimulation of alcohol seemed to temporarily numb the pain in her heart and allowed her to find a little comfort in this lonely sea.

He drank one cup after another, numbing himself with alcohol.

The bartender felt a little sorry when he saw Xia Rui drinking like this.

He secretly mixed a glass of honey water, wanting to replace the liquor in Xia Rui's hand. When Xia Rui tasted the "wine", she immediately frowned.

"When did my bar have this kind of deceptive wine?" Xia Rui's voice was filled with dissatisfaction and anger. "Change it."

The bartender shook his head helplessly and had to give her another drink.

Xia Rui drank another glass before she stood up shakily and staggered out of the bar. The cold wind blowing in her face made her a little more sober.

She walked to the side of the road, hailed a taxi, and when the door opened, she stumbled in and then slammed the door shut.

The taxi driver saw Xia Rui in the rearview mirror. She looked quite drunk and asked, "Miss, where are you going?"

Xia Rui muttered, "Drive."
