Liang Bo also got angry with her. Knowing she was in a bad mood, he smiled and said, "Fine, I'm fickle. Miss Chu, you flatter me."
"Come, let's have another toast."
The two clinked their bottles and gulped down a few more mouthfuls. Chu Xi sighed and asked him.
"Since you've dated so many people and consider yourself a fickle fellow, let me ask you something."
"Ask away. I'll tell you anything."
"Tell me, what kind of woman is worth a man loving her wholeheartedly for his entire life?"
Asking such a difficult question right off the bat made Liang Bo regret agreeing so readily.
However, he thought about it.
"There's no specific type of woman worth a man loving for a lifetime. The key is meeting the right person. If the feeling is right, even a pig would be admired by someone. And vice versa."
Chu Xi propped her chin on her hand. "Is that so? Then did you not feel the right connection with your previous girlfriends? If so, why were you together?"
Liang Bo was speechless at her questioning. "Miss Chu, are you asking me questions, or are you deliberately prying into my privacy?"
"Who's interested in your privacy? Never mind if you don't want to say."
Chu Xi took another sip of wine. "You have a point. Everyone is different. You can't represent all men. I won't ask anymore."
Liang Bo smiled, looking at her. "It seems Miss Chu has something on her mind today. May I ask, did you have a fight with your fiancé?"
Chu Xi didn't want to tell him and shook her head.
"Alright, if you don't want to say, then don't. As a Casanova, I'd like to tell you something."
"What?"
"The world lacks many things, but it doesn't lack men. Especially not men who are witty, humorous, handsome, and wealthy. Sometimes, in life, you need to broaden your horizons."
"Staring at the sky from the bottom of a well, only seeing your own patch of sky, only makes you pitiful. You're not without the means to go out and see the world, so why not broaden your perspective?"
Chu Xi was intelligent and understood his implied meaning perfectly.
"Broaden my perspective? What if I'm already at the center of Rome and there's nowhere better to go?"
"Don't speak so definitively, and don't brag so high. How is he the center of Rome? You don't lack money. You need a man who brings you happiness and joy, not one who can support you. Why do you value him so much? I realize you've gotten your priorities mixed up, which explains why you've been with him for so long."
What was he saying?
Chu Xi was a little displeased. "My fiancé and I are doing very well. Don't speak nonsense."
"Alright, alright, you two are doing well. Then why did you come to find me today?"
"I was simply bored and came to have a drink with you, is that not allowed? You yourself said I could come find you anytime if I had something on."
Liang Bo said, "Then can I invite some other people over? My buddies haven't eaten yet. If they find out later that I was eating and drinking with you, they'll definitely call me out for prioritizing a woman over friendship."
Chu Xi realized their views were different and they couldn't communicate effectively. She didn't want to talk about it anymore.
"Come, but with just this much food..."
"It's fine." Liang Bo opened the door and yelled outside.
Soon, several men, about his size, looking just as masculine and wearing dirty work clothes, came running over.
Upon entering and seeing food and drinks in the room, along with a beautiful woman, they all teased Liang Bo.
"While we were working ourselves to death, you were secretly eating and drinking with a beautiful woman. You're something else."
"Where did you meet the beauty? She's quite pretty, is she your new sister-in-law?"
"Stop calling every woman you see your sister-in-law. Can't I just make a friend? Come, come, everyone, stop working, wash your hands, and let's eat together."
"You stingy bastard. You ordered so little, it's not even enough for you to pick your teeth with, and you want us to eat together. In front of the beauty, aren't you embarrassed?"
"Exactly. It's rare that we get off work early, and we have a beauty to accompany us. Couldn't you be more generous and treat us to a meal outside?"
Liang Bo couldn't help but kick them.
"How often do I not treat you guys to meals outside? Eat if you want, or get lost!"
"Oh, Fourth Brother, how long has it been since we went to a bar? How long has it been since we had a proper outing? Consider today a holiday, let us go out and have some fun!"
Liang Bo thought about it. Since starting his business, he had been very busy for the past few months, and they hadn't earned much money. His brothers had indeed worked hard following him.
He turned to ask Chu Xi for her opinion. "Is it okay? Go to a bar, do you want to go?"
Chu Xi had never been to a bar in her life. She felt safe with Liang Bo anyway. "Yes."
"Then your outfit isn't suitable. You're already beautiful, and you're wearing something so eye-catching."
"But I don't have any other clothes."
"Wear mine." Liang Bo found a shirt for her and then borrowed a pair of shoes from a female worker in the workshop.
Chu Xi came out wearing his shirt, with her own coat over it.
It must be said, she had the charm of a mature older woman, looking more and more beautiful the more he looked.
The men had also changed into their usual going-out attire for bars, transforming from workshop laborers into stylish and handsome men.
As they all piled into a car, listening to the dynamic music, driving at a moderate speed, they set off with shouts and cheers.
For the first time, Chu Xi felt so happy.
The unrestrained attitude of these people infected her, making her want to laugh along, dance along, and speak loudly.
It seemed that her stress was being shouted out with their yells.
Regardless of Zhan Jing Rui or not, she didn't care anymore. The feeling of annoyance was almost gone.
Upon entering the bar, it was even more extravagant.
Liang Bo ordered a table full of drinks. The men surrounded her, keeping her company while eating and drinking, and even accompanying her to dance in the middle of the dance floor.
Chu Xi was initially embarrassed, but couldn't resist their encouragement and coaxing.
She was like a flower bud in the center, feeling secure, and infected by the men and women around her, she couldn't help but start dancing wildly.
For several hours, her smile rarely stopped, and she felt incredibly exhilarated.
Happy times always pass quickly, and it was suddenly midnight.
Hearing that she hadn't eaten dinner and had been out for so long without returning, her parents called her one after another.
Her phone buzzed repeatedly, and Chu Xi finally heard it. She said to Liang Bo.
"It's over. My parents have called me over 20 times. I'm going to get scolded when I go home."
Liang Bo was surprised. "You're so old, and you still get scolded when you go home after going out for a bit?"
"I've never stayed out overnight, nor have I ever returned this late. This is the first time in my life."
Liang Bo knew she was a good girl, but he didn't expect her to be so well-behaved.
"Then you never went out with your fiancé before?"
"We only went to refined places, and it was never this late. He would basically send me back before ten o'clock."
"Send you back? You two don't live together?"
Chu Xi rolled her eyes at him. "Not all relationships between men and women develop the way you imagine, alright?"
Liang Bo looked her over again. The more he looked at this young lady, the cuter she seemed, and he couldn't help but chuckle secretly.
