Chapter 38 Quenching Sorrows with Wine

enly vanished in an instant, his eyes narrowing like a bottomless cold pool. If that damned Zhou Guangtao dared to cause trouble again, Lian would do whatever it takes!As he was thinking about this an...Chapter Thirty-Eight: Seeking Solace in Alcohol

Sitting inside the car, Yan Luoxi could no longer suppress her emotions. She covered her face with her hands and sobbed pitifully, overwhelmed by sorrow that she couldn’t calm down.

Luo An had personally woven a beautiful dream of love for her, lifting her to the blissful heights of heaven, making her happy like an idiot.

She still remembered how warm it felt, as if everything in this world didn’t need her to consider anymore, he would be her strongest support. She hadn't even noticed when the weather outside changed.

She thought that her bumpy love road had finally come to an end, and she could finally taste the sweet happiness of mutual affection. From then on, she wouldn’t be alone anymore; she had Luo An, who loved her. Even if he did nothing, just listening to his breathing and knowing he was beside her made her heart content.

But when her wounded heart slowly began to open up for him, forgetting past pains and lessons, allowing him to gradually settle in her heart, he ruthlessly destroyed everything with his own hands, throwing her from heaven into hell. He even dragged Sun Liangliang along to trample on her two times, making it impossible for her to find peace.

At this moment, Yan Luoxi realized how much she had invested in Luo An emotionally; those seemingly casual feelings were actually deeply rooted in her bones.

Luo An gave her a fatal blow after being gentle with her, right at the moment when her heart fluttered. Yet he didn’t even offer a reasonable explanation.

How could there be such cruel people in this world

Yan Luoxi's heart was like being scraped by a knife blade; she couldn't see blood, but it hurt terribly. She wept for an unknown amount of time until she noticed the driver had parked the car beside the road. Dazed and confused, she looked around, “You… Why did you stop”

"Miss We have already arrived at the hotel Mr. Shao mentioned. I saw you crying so intently that I didn't wake you up."

Yan Luoxi's heart shattered again at that moment. This driver truly lives up to being from the Li family; his words are as venomous as An Li’s.

She thanked the driver and got out of the car rather awkwardly, wiping her swollen eyes dry before heading towards the hotel.

The hotel was quite large in this city and it fell under a high-end consumption venue that offered comprehensive entertainment. It had facilities like a gym, sauna room, women’s club, bar, etc., attached to its premises.

When Yan Luoxi entered the hotel lobby, she was drawn by the rhythmic, energetic music coming from somewhere nearby. She truly did not want to return to that desolate empty room upstairs; she feared she would go mad or even jump off a floor.

She wasn't ready to die for An Li’s sake yet. Thus, following the sound of the music, she discovered an exquisitely decorated bar.

The number of patrons was not too many and there was a waiter who came over enthusiastically: "Miss, how many people are you here with"

"One."

"Would you like to sit at the bar"

“I want somewhere quiet.” Yan Luoxi had a cold face on, looking as though someone had died in her family.

The waiter dared not offend her and asked: "Alright then, Miss, what would you like to drink"

Yan Luoxi hadn't eaten anything for a whole night Her stomach was rumbling from hunger She ordered a fruit platter and a cocktail, then sat in a corner to watch the show, looking lonely and desolate.

Surrounding her were people laughing and chatting noisily. Yan Luoxi looked around blankly, suddenly feeling envious of them. They seemed so happy She thought sadly that even though she was here, it was still just her alone.

The female singer on stage had a melancholy voice, singing Da Lang's "West Sea Love Song." When Yan Luoxi heard the line: "... Do you remember your promise to me not to let me lose sight of you But you followed the southward-bound migratory birds flying so far away... love is like a kite with a broken string, unable to hold onto your vows..." her tears silently fell.

That handsome man with stunning beauty Had once gently stroked her face, smiling tenderly. His eyes were filled with deep affection and indulgence, as if whispering promises for a lifetime.

But just now, he had told her she was incapable, that he never loved her in the first place, and that he would be marrying someone else.

Last night He held her while they fell asleep. No, it was today; they were still intimate and inseparable.

Yan Luoxi couldn't figure out when Lai An started changing his mind How did he suddenly become so cold-hearted

In pain and despair, Yan Luoxi picked up her glass, threw back the drink. The warmth rose from her stomach as the chill receded, replaced by a burning sensation.

The drink was like water poured into an oil pot, instantly exploding with all of Yan Luoxi's sorrow, leaving no more thoughts to hide the pain of heartbreak.

She finally discovered the benefits of alcohol; her cold heart could now boil over. It was better than feeling this sad and upset.

Yan Luoxi drank one glass after another. She shook her slightly dizzy head, thinking that getting drunk felt so good Everything around her became strange and fantastic, worries and sorrows disappearing.

She had such crazy thoughts that she even considered using the alcohol bottle in front of her to smash An Li's head.

Yan Luoxi’s mind grew increasingly hazy; her tolerance for alcohol was indeed low. As she gradually lost consciousness, unscrupulous men began approaching her to chat. Fortunately, Yan Luoxi had been stimulated by today’s events and filled with the thought of killing An Li; her disoriented gaze scared them away.

"How deep is my love for you How many parts do I love you Think about it..." The romantic ringtone of Yan Luoxi's phone sounded.

Yan Luoxi reached for the phone drowsily; this was a ringtone that An Li had chosen for her. She gave a cold laugh, looked at the unfamiliar number and answered, "Who is this"

"It’s me, Shao Junhe."

Yan Luoxi held the phone in her hand for three seconds before her alcohol-numbed brain remembered who Shao Junhe was.

"Yan Luoxi, are you listening Speak! Where are you" Shao Junhe's voice was filled with anxiety.

Who cares where I am

Hating An Li, Yan Luoxi also hated everyone around him. She raised her voice angrily and asked, "What’s it to you where I am Do you have something to say"

The laughter of a flirtatious woman followed by loud music sounded behind her.

"Are you in the bar or somewhere else" Shao Junhe heard the cacophony on the other end and grew anxious. "Luoxi, did you drink Are you drunk Tell me where you are!" A single woman getting drunk late at night in a chaotic bar could lead to terrible events; Shao Junhe knew this better than anyone else.e truth. Although the situation wasn't as severe as a tsunami or an earthquake, it could still be considered a flood disaster with scarce resources and many mouths to feed but little food to go around...
