Chapter 53: Love, What Does It Feel Like?
Lu Ziang moved closer to Gu Xingchen and exchanged a simple glance with him. “What’s the situation now?”
Gu Xingchen replied, “I don’t know either.”
Just as their eyes were exchanging glances, Ji Jingchen suddenly said, “Do you know how to change the mind of a woman who used to be filled with you?”
Both of them were stunned. Lu Ziang’s expression was even more exaggerated. “Chen, you’re not in love with Du Jiuyuan, are you?”
“What does love feel like?” Ji Jingchen had never understood what love was.
“Love is when you want to see her, but you’re afraid of seeing her. You want to say something to her, but you’re afraid of disturbing her. You’ll miss her when she’s not around.” Gu Xingchen thought for a moment and explained his understanding of love.
“Why are you making it so complicated? Love is all about sleeping with a woman and making her give birth to your child.” Lu Ziang poured himself a glass of wine and pretended to be serious.
“If that’s the case, then I must have fallen in love with her.” Ji Jingchen lit up a cigarette and put it out after taking a puff. He remembered that Du Jiuyuan did not like the smell of cigarettes.
This time, it wasn’t only Lu Ziang who was stunned, even Gu Xingchen’s eyes were filled with shock.
“Xingchen, am I dreaming? Quickly tell me, does it hurt?” Lu Ziang pinched Gu Xingchen, his tone a little agitated.
Ji Jingchen had fallen in love with Du Jiuyuan! Gu Xingchen did not indulge Lu Ziang and kicked him away. Why did this guy pinch him?
“What do I have to do to make her see me again?” Ji Jingchen asked in a serious tone.
“Jingchen, you have to first ascertain whether you truly love Du Jiuyuan or not…” Gu Xingchen was relatively calm. He did not quite believe that Ji Jingchen had fallen in love with Du Jiuyuan.
Ji Jingchen had not fallen in love with Du Jiuyuan for five years. Now that they were separated, how could he suddenly fall in love?
“Maybe I did not understand what love was before, but now I am sure that I love her.” Ji Jingchen was very sure that he had fallen in love.
Lu Ziang silently gulped down a bottle of beer for himself. He was puzzled. No matter how hard he racked his brain, he could not understand why Ji Jingchen had fallen in love with Du Jiuyuan.
Gu Xingchen walked to Ji Jingchen’s side and patted him on the shoulder. “From the way I’ve seen her treat you these past few times, it’s really difficult for you to change her mind.”
“Why?” Ji Jingchen had absolute confidence in himself. Even before the wedding, he had never believed that the girl who used to adore him completely had stopped loving him.
“Women are very strange creatures. When they love someone, they do not hesitate and never care about the feelings of the person they love. Once they lose their love, they will leave wholeheartedly. No matter how much they have loved before, they can completely let it go,” Gu Xingchen explained.
Women were indeed very strange. Back then, Ji Jingchen had never understood why Du Jiuyuan fell in love with him. She was so in love that she could not extricate herself. Even though she knew that marrying into the Ji family was like entering a ferocious beast den, she was still so determined.
Lu Ziang was already drunk. He stood up and walked towards Ji Jingchen, put his hand on his shoulder, and said, “What’s so strange about this? Women! It’s best to coax her. As long as you keep sending her flowers, treat her to a meal from time to time, and give her gifts whenever you’re free, she’ll think of you. I’m experienced in this aspect. Chen, believe me…”
After saying that, Lu Ziang fell asleep. It was mainly because Ji Jingchen’s actions today were too shocking and he couldn’t accept it. He drank one cup after another until he was drunk.
Ji Jingchen looked at Gu Xingchen. “How credible was the idea that he just mentioned?”
“If his words can be trusted, Old Master Lu wouldn’t have to hold a matchmaking banquet for him,” Gu Xingchen teased.
Ji Jingchen nodded and pushed Lu Ziang, who was half leaning on him, away. He got up and was about to leave.
“You’re leaving so soon! Where are you going?” Lu Ziang, who had been pushed awake, rubbed his temples and asked with narrowed eyes.
“I’m going to buy a flower shop!” Ji Jingchen walked out of the private room without looking back.
Gu Xingchen followed closely behind and got up to walk out.
“D*mn! You’re leaving too?” Lu Ziang shook his slightly tipsy head to wake himself up quickly.
“There’s been a lot going on at the Bureau recently.” Gu Xingchen left without looking back, leaving Lu Ziang alone.
“Ahhhhh! The both of you! One of you came to the bar to drink water, and the other one is leaving after drinking two cups. Are you guys so busy? My time is calculated by the seconds, yet I chose to still drink with the both of you. Now, the both of you decided to leave me here!” Lu Ziang was very angry, his anger could not be contained.
