Chapter 710: Love Above All Chapter 69

And who else could that man be if not Luo Yiyan!

Gu Xiaoxi stealthily glanced at Bai Yu’s face.

Clearly, the smile on Bai Yu’s face had frozen, and she was stunned for quite a while.

Just when Gu Xiaoxi thought she might storm over and slap that cheating couple, Bai Yu pulled her away from the mall at a brisk pace, pretending to have seen nothing.

"Bai Yu, break up with him! He’s truly not worthy of you!" Gu Xiaoxi was pulled by Bai Yu toward a small path in the park outside the shopping mall.

Sitting down on a bench under the tree shade by the roadside, Bai Yu let go of her hand and took out a lady’s cigarette from her pocket.

She searched all over herself but couldn’t find a lighter.

In the end, Bai Yu looked coldly at Gu Xiaoxi with a cigarette in her mouth,

"Lend me your lighter for a moment."

Although Gu Xiaoxi didn’t smoke, she always kept a lighter made of special material in her pocket.

Without saying a word, Gu Xiaoxi looked at her for a long time, then fished a square and exquisite lighter out of her pants pocket, but did not immediately hand it over to Bai Yu.

"Give me one of those cigarettes!" Gu Xiaoxi clenched the lighter, obviously intending to make a trade with Bai Yu.

Ba Yu raised an eyebrow, twirling the cigarette in her hand, "I thought you didn’t smoke?"

"People change, I want to give it a try!"

Hesitant for a moment, Bai Yu took out another cigarette and tossed it to Gu Xiaoxi, "Don’t tell my brother that I gave this to you. If I lead you astray, he’ll kill me!"

"Is that so?" Gu Xiaoxi took the cigarette and passed the lighter to Bai Yu.

Bai Yu touched the unique design of the lighter and frowned, "Why does this thing look familiar to me?"

It seemed she had seen it somewhere before but could not recall at the moment.

"Since you know I have this, isn’t it strange that it looks familiar?" After Bai Yu had finished, Gu Xiaoxi took back the lighter and lit the cigarette in her hand.

The first drag nearly choked her but she soon grew accustomed to the thin mint mixed with Gunitin, even finding it delightful and numbingly intoxicating.

"Suddenly it feels like Lele’s home is so far away! We walked most of the day and still haven’t arrived," Gu Xiaoxi lazily leaned back in the chair.

Bai Yu squinted at the yellowing leaves falling from the trees with the wind and couldn’t help but sigh, "Yeah! What’s usually just the blink of an eye away, took us half a century to walk today."

"Forget it, let’s not go. Let Lele come find us," Gu Xiaoxi looked at the time, it was already two o’clock in the afternoon, "I’m hungry, we’ve been fussing back and forth for so long and we haven’t eaten lunch yet."

"Let’s go, my treat," Bai Yu said and then placed the black hat from her head onto Gu Xiaoxi’s, while donning Gu Xiaoxi’s green hat herself.

Gu Xiaoxi was speechless but went along with it, considering Bai Yu was in a bad mood.

...

At Holy Emperor, the night was filled with lights and colors, intoxication and luxury.

It was a den of iniquity for the wealthy.

Gu Xiaoxi’s birthday wasn’t celebrated with much fanfare; aside from her closest people, there were no others.

In one year, her relationship with Bai Yu and Dongfang Le had grown closer, the trio becoming like sisters.

When Dongfang Le walked into the private room, the scent of mint cigarettes wrinkled her nose before seeing five or six lady’s cigarette butts in the ashtray. She turned to Bai Yu and said, "Smoke less, watch out for lung cancer!"

"I’m not the only one!" Bai Yu rolled her eyes.

Gu Xiaoxi hurried to open a window to ventilate, "Lele, maybe enter later? The smell is a bit strong, it’s not good for you!"

Far from leaving, Dongfang Le instead strode over and sat down beside Bai Yu, her usually innocent face showing a hint of gravity, "Never mind, the baby can’t be kept anyway. So, the smell doesn’t matter to me!"

Gu Xiaoxi paused as she was about to open the window, but then, she opened it nonetheless.

The cool autumn breeze entered the private room, carrying the scent of the city’s nightlife; she breathed deeply and then returned to sit beside Bai Yu.

She finally understood why there were so many people in society who willingly fell into degeneracy.

Unworried by life, unconcerned about the future, with their lives being controlled, they had no choice but to live like the living dead.

Wasn’t that their life?

"Lele, have you really decided? To not keep the baby?" Gu Xiaoxi turned her head to look at her.

Although they were best friends, everyone had secrets they couldn’t disclose, not even to their closest friends.

So, they understood each other and simply didn’t ask.

Dongfang Le stared blankly at the table laden with various alcoholic beverages, her long eyelashes hiding the dimness in her eyes, "Yeah!"

The suffocating atmosphere that even the lively rock music couldn’t lighten made people feel stifled, and Gu Xiaoxi picked up a thirty-degree cocktail from the table and downed it in one go, "I’m going to the restroom!"

Bai Yu glanced at Gu Xiaoxi and patted Dongfang Le’s head. Among them, she was the oldest and really wanted to take on some of the burdens for her younger sisters. But eventually, she couldn’t even handle her own issues.

Gu Xiaoxi’s birthday truly had no other invitees, but when she returned from the restroom, the private room was full of people.

Fu Zhe, Tang Youling, Dongfang Lin, and even the usually busy Mo Lan also arrived.

She was quite surprised that Dongfang Lin came!

It was also only the second time Gu Xiaoxi had met Dongfang Lin.

A mature and reserved individual, like a character that a painter had spent his entire life perfecting. His presence was the exact opposite of Bai Yaxuan’s cold aloofness and Quan Shaoqing’s chill.

Standing in front of him felt like being stripped bare and whipped by his gaze, a thoroughly uncomfortable experience.

She had only seen him once before, just a fleeting glance.

No wonder Dongfang Le was as obedient as a tame cat in his presence.
