Sweet Beauty

Chapter 648 Have You Ever Really Loved Me

The phone rang long before Hou Yingyi picked up. However, his tone of voice wasn’t good, as if he was badly injured. He sounded weak and a little impatient, “Wei Xiaoqing, what do you want?”

Wei Xiaoqing swallowed the alcohol in her mouth, stared into the corner, and whispered, “Yingyi, I’m not in a good mood right now. Can you come over and have a drink with me?”

Not in a good mood?

Hou Yingyi laughed. He didn’t sound so happy. “Are you in a bad mood? Coincidentally I was also in a bad mood. I’m drinking at the bar right now. Come here.”

Wei Xiaoqing looked around the bar but didn’t see Hou Yingyi at all. She asked curiously, “Where are you? I’m at the bar too.”

Hou Yingyi was too lazy to play mystery with Wei Xiaoqing, he wasn’t in the mood at all. So he said, “There’s a private room on the second floor, you can go straight in.”

Wei Xiaoqing took her bag and went up to the second floor. She found the room Hou Yingyi had told her about, pushed open the door, and went in. At first glance, she saw Hou Yingyi drinking with a melancholy expression as he looked at his phone screen.

From the speaker, came the voices of Han Yuanjun and Liang Zixuan.

Wei Xiaoqing immediately understood that Hou Yingyi was also watching the wedding video.

She closed the door, walked over with a smile, and threw the bag she was holding onto the couch. “What, Liang Zixuan didn’t invite you to her wedding?”

Hou Yingyi looked up from his phone and sneered at Wei Xiaoqing. “You, as her sister, aren’t even allowed to come in, let alone me, her ex-boyfriend.”

If it was before, Wei Xiaoqing would have started arguing with Hou Yingyi, but now it’s different.

Hou Yingyi hadn’t come looking for her in a long time. The last time she had spoken to him was when she asked Liang Jiahao’s phone number. Yu Meilin’s attitude towards Wei Xiaoqing also changed drastically when she learned that Liang Jiahao had blacklisted Wei Xiaoqing. It became the same as before, with hatred and annoyance written on her face.

Wei Xiaoqing no longer had the right to negotiate with Hou Yingyi. She knew the only reason she could come up here was because they were both feeling the same feelings. Better to grieve together than to drink alone.

”Yeah, I can’t even get in.”

Wei Xiaoqing sat down next to Hou Yingyi and poured herself a glass of wine. She leaned back on the couch and sipped her drink. “Yingyi, it’s really hard for me to even meet Liang Zixuan and Han Yuanjun at Qiao Hongya’s house today.”

”Mm …” Hou Yingyi looked sideways at Wei Xiaoqing. “I saw it.”

”You saw it?” Wei Xiaoqing looked at Hou Yingyi in surprise. After a while, she laughed to herself. “You think I’m that cheap, do you? I know they don’t like me and don’t want to see me, but I’ll still find them.”

”You are.” Hou Yingyi finished the wine in one gulp, then bent down to pick up the wine bottle and poured himself another glass. “You’re so cheap! Back then, a few years ago, if it wasn’t for you … Forget it, I can’t blame you for this.”

That night, Liang Zixuan agreed to become Hou Yingyi’s girlfriend. Not long after that, Wei Xiaoqing sent him a text message from Liang Zixuan’s phone.

After sending it, she deleted the record of the text message.

When Hou Yingyi read the text message, he thought Liang Zixuan had invited him to the hotel. He was very happy at the time, really very happy, so he went there happily.

When he pushed open the door of the hotel, it was actually dark inside. Without turning on the light, someone suddenly rushed toward him, and before he could see her face, the door was already closed. In front of the door, he was kissed by the woman.

Since some parts of Wei Xiaoqing’s body looked very similar to Liang Zixuan’s and he couldn’t see her clearly in the darkness, he thought it was her.

Not to mention, that night, he drank so much that he couldn’t see the sight in front of him clearly even if he wanted to. He just stayed with the woman all night in a daze.

When he woke up the next morning, he found out that the woman next to him was actually Wei Xiaoqing.

What had happened at that time, coupled with the fact that Wei Xiaoqing was seeking death, he could no longer bear it. In the end, he could only secretly have an affair with Wei Xiaoqing behind Liang Zixuan’s back for so many years.

Wei Xiaoqing looked up at Hou Yingyi and asked seriously, “Yingyi, can I ask you something and can you promise to answer it truthfully today?”

Hou Yingyi took a sip of his wine and nodded. “Go ahead and ask.”

Wei Xiaoqing laughed self-deprecatingly. “Have you ever really loved me?”

Hou Yingyi was stunned the moment she finished her words.

He sat there motionlessly, like a statue that couldn’t be moved.

Wei Xiaoqing looked at him for a while. Seeing that he didn’t reply, she shook her head in disappointment. “Forget it. You don’t need to answer. I already know the answer from your silence.”

If a man didn’t want to lie to you, based on the silence itself, he already told you that he had no feelings for you.

Wei Xiaoqing smiled and continued to drink her wine. After drinking three glasses in a row, Hou Yingyi suddenly came to life. “Actually, I don’t even know the answer myself.”

He tugged at the corner of his mouth. “I could say I don’t love you, but I do like the feeling of going to bed with you.”

He suddenly raised his gaze and looked at Wei Xiaoqing seriously. “I really don’t like you. You’ve always been so powerful and evil since you were young, and as long as you saw Liang Zixuan had something, you wanted to snatch it away from her.”

Wei Xiaoqing was not angry when she heard what Hou Yingyi had said. She felt that he was right. She nodded and asked again, “Do you really love her?”

”En!” The wine quickly flowed down his throat, and that soft feeling made him feel very comfortable. But after the fragrance faded away, the bitter, dry, and burning taste of the wine remained. Hou Yingyi could not stop himself from coughing twice. He put the glass down and coughed for a moment before stopping.

”In the past, I didn’t understand anything about love. Maybe it was because I was young, or maybe it was because Liang Zixuan was the first girl I liked, but I really didn’t know how to cherish her. I always felt that she was miserable and that she had no one to rely on but me. So no matter what I did to her, she would never leave me.”

Hou Yingyi sneered. “Now that I think about it, I feel really stupid. When she really left me and when I saw her standing with Han Yuanjun and the news of their wedding flew through the sky, I finally understood. I had really lost her. She’s no longer the little girl that can be tricked with a lollipop.”

Hou Yingyi leaned back on the couch, his arm pressed harder against Wei Xiaoqing, just like two frozen people staying close together. “My love is a tragedy. I only realized that I love her when I lost her.”
