Only after speaking did Jiang Yin realize something was off.
Old Worm definitely left something unsaid.
This Miss Skirt didn’t look like she was about to kick Qv Si Nan out unilaterally.
She abruptly covered her mouth.
Her amethyst-like eyes blinked furiously as she shook her head.
Her still-wet white hair swayed with the motion, and the force even widened the gap in her chest, the pale, flat skin tempting the gaze of women.
“Zhizhi, you were the one who brought up the breakup.”
Qv Si Nan suddenly spoke, breaking the suffocating silence.
Her voice was calm, yet decisive, “So why are you here looking for me now?”
“Qv Si Nan!”
The blonde girl named Lu Zhizhi raised her voice, sharp enough to pierce the quiet night, then suddenly fell, her tone trembling at the end, “I thought we could still be friends.”
The sudden volume made Jiang Yin, who stood at the doorway, flinch.
She reflexively stepped back, her right foot catching on the doorframe and nearly sending her tumbling.
But her blunder had no effect on the ex-couple’s argument.
They were lost in their own world.
Jiang Yin was equally lost in spectating.
“Friends? What am I to you? A kept mistress? No wonder you’re an heiress—still trying to enforce monogamy these days?”
Qv Si Nan let out a wild, cold laugh, her eyes rolling skyward, “What next? Want me to help raise your kid too?”
“…Says the one who wasn’t exactly pure outside, either.”
Lu Zhizhi’s tone weakened noticeably, a hint of guilt creeping in before she steeled herself again.
“And who is this you brought home!?”
“None of your business.”
Qv Si Nan turned her head away, but her peripheral vision caught sight of the small white head peeking in from the doorway, devouring the drama.
She nearly broke into laughter.
“Fine, none of my business.”
Lu Zhizhi composed herself as well, “Then let’s talk about the future.”
“What are you going to do? Keep hiding in a bar as a bartender?”
“I have a store under my name I can transfer to you. You can open your own bar and be the boss—think of it as my compensation for these years.”
“Wow!”
“Shh—!”
The white-haired girl whipped around, flashing a hush gesture to the delivery girl in the yellow uniform.
She was clearly a college student working part-time during vacation.
The two quickly exchanged silent gestures, reaching a mutual understanding.
The delivery girl set down the beer crate.
They stood less than half a meter apart—one inside the entrance, one outside—both eavesdropping intently.
“So dramatic? What’s going on, heiress and girlfriend breaking up? What about you? Which side are you on?”
The delivery girl’s expression was even livelier than Jiang Yin’s, her eyes blazing as if she could burn a hole through someone.
They whispered back and forth.
“Not sure yet. It seems like the heiress had a family-arranged marriage, so they broke up. I was just comforting the heartbroken victim on the bed when the other party barged in.”
Jiang Yin gave a quick summary.
“Impressive.”
The delivery girl mentally sorted out the situation and offered genuine admiration.
“Indeed.”
Their hushed gossip was barely louder than a mosquito, completely inaudible in the room, so the drama continued undisturbed.
Qv Si Nan looked at Lu Zhizhi, her eyes reflecting a mix of restraint and nostalgia.
“You’re always like this.”
In the end, she sighed.
“I don’t want anything.”
Her voice was faint, as if severing the last thread of attachment to Lu Zhizhi, “Go home. I still have drinking to do.”
“After tonight, please, Miss Lu, don’t appear in my life again.”
“Are you really this heartless?”
Lu Zhizhi’s gaze held no surprise, only disappointment.
Giving Qv Si Nan the store was, of course, a calculated move.
As long as Qv Si Nan accepted the compensation, she could keep visiting the bar.
Qv Si Nan wouldn’t throw her out in front of customers.
Frequent visits meant more chances to reconnect.
She understood Qv Si Nan well enough to know she’d likely refuse, but still clung to a sliver of hope.
Now that hope was dashed.
She was truly hurt.
“I’m not heartless. I just know you too well.”
Qv Si Nan shrugged, “Since when were you so generous? Aren’t you just hoping I’ll eventually cave?”
After nearly five years together, they knew each other too well.
“Let’s drop it, Zhizhi. If I can’t accept it, I can’t accept it. No matter how many tricks you play or how much you want me to regret it, it won’t work.”
“First, you propose breaking up to see how I react. If I try to make up, you’ll ask me to wait until you have a kid with that man and then come back to me. If I show no reaction and accept the breakup, you’ll come back with the excuse of transferring a store to tie me down.”
She smiled, “It’s a good plan, but I won’t accept it.”
“Do you think you’ll find someone better and more willing to support you than me?”
“Three years. Just three years. For these three years, we break up—you do whatever you want, I won’t ask, and don’t ask what I do either. After three years, I’ll come back for you. Can we be together again then?”
“Nan Nan, wait for me for three years, okay?”
Lu Zhizhi’s proposal was almost perfect—so much so that even Jiang Yin, putting herself in the position, felt tempted.
An heiress willing to support you for life!
How great is that?
But Qv Si Nan simply raised her hand and pointed at Jiang Yin.
“There is—she’s willing to support me.”
“Huh?”
Jiang Yin stared blankly, pointing at herself, her wide eyes filled with question marks.
Her expression was pure meme material—Eh?
What?
Me?
The delivery girl next to her also widened her eyes.
Realizing this was too much drama, she decided to escape before getting dragged in by the heiress inside.
She dropped the beer crate and bolted.
“Her?”
Lu Zhizhi ignored the fleeing delivery girl, her gaze fixed on Jiang Yin.
Judging by appearance alone—
This kid was even bare-faced.
She had already lost.
Comparing bodies—she might have some chest, but not much, while the other was flat but young, with potential.
And this was exactly Qv Si Nan’s type.
Another loss.
The white-haired girl looked a bit dumb, but that air of confidence and independence clearly wasn’t something from an ordinary family.
She had no advantage at all.
“Fine, fine, youth really is unbeatable, isn’t it?”
Realizing she lost to Qv Si Nan’s “new love” in every aspect, Lu Zhizhi became furious out of humiliation.
“Then both of you get out now!”
“Ha?”
Jiang Yin froze, but Qv Si Nan, as if prepared for this, casually pulled a black suitcase from behind the bed, stuffed a set of clothes into Jiang Yin’s arms, and pushed her into the bathroom.
“Baby, change. We’re leaving right now.”
“…..”
Seeing the murderous look in Lu Zhizhi’s eyes, Jiang Yin wanted to explain, but knowing she couldn’t embarrass her friend at a time like this, she zipped her lips and changed clothes.
She and Qv Si Nan each grabbed a case of beer and headed out.
“So, this place isn’t your rental?”
“It is.”
“But she’s the landlady…”
Fine, fine, you two really know how to play as a couple!
WTF LMAO!!!
