Chapter 1155 Then Don't Like Him
Jiang Manman grabbed the woman next to Huo Yanchen and said, "Get out, all of you get out!"
The women still looked unwilling: "Miss, you've hurt me, Young Master Huo, aren't you going to do anything about it?"
Before Huo Yanchen could speak, Jiang Manman said, "What's there to control? He can't control you! Let me tell you, from today onwards, don't try this trick on Huo Yanchen. He's reformed and has no interest in women like you. If you're still stubborn, I'll call the police and say you're involved in prostitution, and have you all arrested!"
These women never expected that Jiang Manman, who looked so young, would actually do something like this.
Moreover, she looks really elegant now; she looks like a little rabbit, but she can bite.
Everyone else looked at Huo Yanchen: "Young Master Huo~"
Huo Yanchen said, "Go out first."
"Yes." Only then did the women sway their hips and leave the private room.
Only Huo Yanchen and Jiang Manman remained in the private room. Huo Yanchen still didn't dare to look Jiang Manman in the eye. He simply said, "You've chased all my women away. What, you want to drink with me?"
The words "my woman" made Jiang Manman clench her fists.
Jiang Manman said, "Sure, I'll drink with you."
Jiang Manman opened all the bottles of wine and then looked at Huo Yanchen: "Huo Yanchen, are you interested in making a bet?"
Usually, it was Huo Yanchen who invited others to make bets, but one day, someone else asked her if she wanted to bet.
"What are we betting on?"
"Anything is fine. For example, whoever has a better alcohol tolerance can drink half and whoever finishes first has to unconditionally obey the other person. But wait, you definitely won't agree to that. You think I have ulterior motives and will make unreasonable demands, thinking I'll make you my boyfriend. How about this: if I win, you'll never come to places like this to find women again, okay?"
"Not very good," Huo Yanchen refused.
Jiang Manman has no chance of winning this bet.
Huo Yanchen has a considerable capacity for alcohol; there are very few people who can outdrink him.
Usually, Huo Yanchen is the one who gets everyone drunk, while he himself remains relatively sober.
Given Jiang Manman's alcohol tolerance, she was already drunk before even half a bottle was consumed.
"Why? I just don't want you to see those women, not to come to places like this. Do you really like those women that much? What do you find so appealing about them? Is it being surrounded and served by them, satisfying your male desires, or is it that you think they're pretty and your type?"
Jiang Manman just looked at Huo Yanchen, who sat there as if he were sitting at the pinnacle of power.
The dark suit hugged his figure; he was really tall, especially his legs, which, even when casually crossed, exuded a decisive and ruthless aura.
His eyes were so deep, and the dim lighting in the private room seemed to shroud his face in a mist.
Jiang Manman suddenly felt like she couldn't see Huo Yanchen clearly anymore. She reached out and touched her eyes, only to find that her eyes were blurred by tears, making the world seem indistinct.
She wiped her hand and looked at Huo Yanchen again: "So, do you dare to bet?"
"No gambling." Huo Yanchen reiterated his stance.
Jiang Manman is certain to lose if she bets with him on drinking.
"Huo Yanchen! How could you be like this! Oh well, it's all my own fault. Who told me to like you?"
Huo Yanchen didn't do anything wrong; he just didn't like her. He was just like all men, enjoying the outside world. She had never been able to hold onto him, and she mistakenly took that little bit of tenderness as a misconception that Huo Yanchen also liked her.
Jiang Manman laughed self-deprecatingly, then slumped down as if all her strength had been drained, leaning over the coffee table filled with wine bottles.
She grabbed a bottle of wine and started drinking it, gulping it down her throat as if she were drinking water.
Huo Yanchen raised his hand to stop him, but in the end, he didn't reach out.
As Jiang Manman drank, she said, "It turns out that liking someone is really tiring."
Like a stone that can't be warmed up, it's inherently cold, so how can you warm it up with your own temperature?
Even if the surface of the stone is warmed up briefly, it will become cold again as soon as the person leaves, and even that little bit of warmth will disappear.
The person who tried to keep warm with stones is truly laughable.
She will always remember the first time she saw Huo Yanchen. She couldn't take her eyes off him. She never imagined that there was such a handsome and charismatic person in the world.
At that time, she was not yet an adult, and her girlish heart was in complete disarray.
She truly experienced what it meant to be moved; her heart really did flutter and pound.
Jiang Manman's father and Huo Yanchen had been friends for many years, but whenever Huo Yanchen visited her home, Jiang Manman was either at school or at her maternal grandparents' house, and she never actually ran into Huo Yanchen.
That one glance lasted a lifetime.
In the blink of an eye, a year or two has already passed.
I wonder if it really takes ten thousand years to forget that fleeting glimpse of beauty from my youth.
Over the past year or two, Jiang Manman felt like she had always been chasing after Huo Yanchen, and she realized that she was no longer herself.
She suddenly felt a little tired.
In Huo Yanchen's eyes, was she a child who would never grow up? Did she cause Huo Yanchen a lot of distress? Was she really incapable of moving him, even just a little bit of liking?
Jiang Manman had almost finished the bottle, but the more she drank, the more upset she felt.
Forget it, people shouldn't make a big deal out of things like this. No one in the world can live without anyone else. Can't I live just fine on my own?
She should just be the carefree Jiang Manman, why did she have to ruin herself like this for a man?
Jiang Manman finished the whole bottle of wine. It was quite strong, and after she finished it, she couldn't even hold the bottle properly and it fell to the ground.
She stood up from the ground, her body swaying precariously.
He glanced at Huo Yanchen, said nothing, and simply opened the door to the private room and left.
Jiang Manman's last words were still echoing in Huo Yanchen's mind: "It turns out that liking someone is really tiring."
Then... you shouldn't like him anymore.
Jiang Manman was unsteady on her feet as she went down the stairs and almost fell. Luckily, she was caught by a hand and leaned against the handrail for a while before she felt a little better.
She looked at the hand, and her heart skipped a beat. Was it Huo Yanchen?
When I turned around, I saw a stranger's face, dressed as a waiter.
The waiter asked, "Are you alright, miss?"
Jiang Manman shook her head, then gave a self-deprecating smile. She had just thought that the person who had helped her up was Huo Yanchen.
At this moment, Huo Yanchen stood behind the large pillar, looking at Jiang Manman who was being supported.
He was the one who pulled Jiang Manman back just now, allowing her to rest.
The waiter happened to be passing by, and he handed the person over to him.
