Chapter 372: A Handsome Guy Takes Me Home
Jiang Muye's heart ached, and he instinctively walked forward.
Soon he heard the sound of hurried footsteps, and then his waist was tightly encircled.
He felt her hugging him, crying behind his back.
He couldn't see her pained face.
But his heart hurt like a drill boring into it.
"Don't go… please?"
She was begging him.
Jiang Muye's heart softened for a moment.
But then he suddenly remembered the way Leng Ruoli had begged in front of Yu Xi.
Was this the first time she'd said it to him?
She'd probably repeated it several times in front of Yu Xi.
If he believed in this kind of act again, he'd be making an absurd mistake.
"How much longer are you going to keep acting?" Jiang Muye tiredly loosened Leng Ruoli's tightly clutching hands. She refused to let go, so his thin lips pressed down hard. He had already made his decision, and he forcefully pulled free.
"Aren't you tired? I'm tired! I don't want to playact with you anymore!" Jiang Muye scolded Leng Ruoli, enduring both the heartache and the anger.
Leng Ruoli's pretty little face was covered in glistening tears. She lowered her eyelids, looking completely guilt-ridden.
Jiang Muye took a deep breath.
He didn't dare turn around.
Just sensing her presence, sensing her breathing, was enough to make him sink in deeply.
Jiang Muye was afraid that if he turned around, he'd become infatuated with her again.
Afraid he'd forgive her, afraid he'd take step after step down the wrong path for her sake once more.
So what if they broke up?
What was the big deal?
It wasn't like he'd never been rejected before.
Every cloud has a silver lining. It wasn't like he couldn't find someone better. Why waste himself on someone who wasn't worth it?
He'd just treat it as having fed his true feelings to a dog. After the pain, at worst he just wouldn't love anymore.
Jiang Muye strode forward, and this time he didn't drag things out.
Leng Ruoli cried out his name in despair, but he didn't turn back.
He closed his eyes, forcibly suppressing the bitter ache.
After finding his car, Jiang Muye instinctively stepped on the gas and shot off.
He didn't dare look at the speedometer at all.
He only knew he wanted to vent right now.
The pain filling his heart was like a sharp knife, slowly slicing him apart.
Was it wrong to like someone?
Why did his liking always turn into a mistake every single time?
Just as Jiang Muye's eyes were bloodshot and he felt his blood wildly surging through his body, he discovered a truck coming at him with even more speed than before.
It was heading straight for him, about to collide head-on!
Jiang Muye's vision was already blurry.
Right now all he felt was hot blood rushing upward—
There was no time to react.
Beep beep beep beep—
A sharp car horn sounded.
A burst of blinding white light flashed—
Jiang Muye felt he could no longer see clearly.
The piercing sound of tires scraping against the ground rang out.
"Clang—"
With a turn of the steering wheel, Jiang Muye felt weightless all around him.
His sports car and the big truck veered directly past each other without colliding.
【Safety Shield automatically activated, protecting the Host from harm.】
The System's mechanical voice echoed in his ears.
Jiang Muye's hands gripping the steering wheel were slick with cold sweat.
After the truck failed to collide with the sports car, the driver poked his head out the window and started cursing at Jiang Muye: "Fuck, even if you want to reincarnate, don't try to scam me into it."
Just as the driver was cursing up a storm, the sports car's window rolled down.
A magnetic voice sounded: "Sorry, wasn't paying attention. You alright?"
The driver stared in shock at the handsome young man before him. He was calm and desolate, and his face was identical to the one on TV.
The media had reported on him extensively before, so the driver definitely knew the background of this young man.
He was none other than the famous Chen family heir!
"You're that Jiang… Young Master Jiang? No problem, just drive carefully, stay safe." The truck driver, who had been furious moments ago, now started apologizing to Jiang Muye.
The driver was still counting his blessings that he hadn't hit Jiang Muye's sports car just now, otherwise he wouldn't even have enough to pay for one tire.
Besides, if something had happened to Jiang Muye, the impact and losses would have been even greater!
Jiang Muye gave a faint nod, then drove away.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, the System had protected him and prevented any safety issues.
Otherwise, he would have been in grave danger right now.
But Jiang Muye's heart still had a numbing ache. Especially after experiencing that life-and-death moment just now, he felt even more sensitive and miserable.
At a time like this, how he wished Leng Ruoli were by his side.
If only that were possible.
Thinking of Leng Ruoli's lies, Jiang Muye still felt lingering fear. That kind of heartache was truly enough to make a person waste away.
In the bar, the lights were red and green, and deafening music surrounded everything. All kinds of men and women were dancing passionately, almost pressing against each other.
Amidst the passionate revelry, only one corner was the quietest and most desolate.
He sat in the bar area with his thin frame, several empty glasses already on the table, yet he kept drinking without pause.
Jiang Muye wasn't someone who liked to drink.
His alcohol tolerance wasn't good either.
The one time he'd drunk the most was when he'd walked down a rainy night road holding a bottle of Jiang Xiaobai, crying and drinking.
That was the most painful heartbreak Jiang Muye had ever experienced.
But this time wasn't any easier to bear than that one.
Heh heh, women are like clothes. You can have as many as you want.
But why did he feel so miserable?
His alcohol tolerance had always been poor.
But this time was strange.
No matter how much he drank, he couldn't get drunk.
"Ding dong—" His phone rang with an incoming call.
Jiang Muye glanced at it.
【Our Crystal】incoming calls x60.
Jiang Muye suddenly felt irritated.
He just turned off his phone.
He shouldn't have saved her contact as 【Our Crystal】in the first place. The crystal he'd desperately wanted to protect and cherish—haha—had been backdoored and stormed by someone else.
Fuck, this was really fucking shitty!
Yu Xi was a dog! Stealing his face wasn't enough—he fucking wanted to steal his woman too!
Everything that had happened today made Jiang Muye feel utterly miserable.
"Two more bottles of liquor. No, ten!" Jiang Muye shouted at the waiter.
The waiter saw that Jiang Muye had already downed several bottles and tried to persuade him: "Better not, you've already had quite a bit. Drinking more could give you gastritis."
"No problem! My constitution's great!" Jiang Muye scoffed.
He was a man with a System. Was he afraid of collapsing? What a joke.
"More!" Jiang Muye loudly ordered the waiter, even placing his bank card on the counter.
After seeing the gleaming gold VIP card, how could the waiter possibly refuse to serve Jiang Muye liquor?
Not making money when you could—that would be idiotic.
Besides, Jiang Muye had a prominent status. He was drinking of his own volition, so it had nothing to do with the bar.
Better than Jiang Muye not getting his drinks and then smashing up the place later.
The waiter had no choice but to fill ten bottles of liquor for Jiang Muye.
Jiang Muye looked at the liquor before him and poured it down his throat.
The most excellent hunters always appear in the form of prey.
Already, a pretty modern girl in very sexy clothing was pretending to be drunk and starting to collapse onto Jiang Muye.
Her lotus-root arms wrapped around Jiang Muye's arm as she whined coquettishly: "Handsome~ I'm so dizzy, give me a hand~"
Jiang Muye glanced at her.
It was a perfect view, completely dominating his field of vision.
But he wasn't interested.
The women who had hit on him just now were countless.
He didn't know how many he'd rejected. This kind of woman was no different from the others.
Jiang Muye coldly pushed the other party's hand away, but she very proactively wrapped herself around him again, whimpering at Jiang Muye: "Handsome, take me home~ wuwuwu, I can't find my way home."
