Chapter 19 - Time is up

Seeing that it was about to be time to meet, Xia Ying casually changed out of her clothes, and without enough time to take off her makeup, she walked out of the bedroom.

Seeing that there was no one around, Xia Ying quickly left, but she did not see a pair of suspicious eyes behind her, so Liang Zhi Qi could not help but want to follow along suspiciously.

But at this time, she saw a figure appearing in the dining room. Although the light was weak, Liang Zhi Qi still recognized that it was Liang Ye — the Liang Ye without a mask.

It should be better to leave together. Liang Zhi Qi thought about it and decided not to follow her anymore.

Xia Ying rushed over to the address written on the message in a hurry. It was a very quiet bar, and although it was the start of the official nightlife, the desolation here surprised her a little, but she was happy about it.

Looking around the empty bar, Xia Ying did not see Liang Yi Ting.

Thus, she subconsciously looked at her watch and saw a faint smile on her face — she had come early.

She took in a deep breath, walked to the side of the bar, and ordered a cup of Long Island Ice Tea for herself as she waited patiently for Liang Yi Ting to arrive.

Ye Ci took a deep breath of the bitter iced tea absent-mindedly. The domineering taste caused her to twitch her nose.

While she was waiting, she would glance towards the door from time to time. Every time the door was pushed open, her heart would beat erratically — and this time was no exception.

Looking at the door that was slowly moving, Xia Ying could not help but increase the force of biting the straw. Her eyes were wide open, as though she could lose her dream lover in the blink of an eye.

With Xia Ying's drumbeat, the door finally opened entirely. A long leg was the first to enter Xia Ying's sight. Looking at the perfect lines, she felt a surge of certainty in her heart. Holding the glass full of ice in her hand, she still felt a little hot and dry.

It was him! In the dim light, she could see only a rough outline of the man she had been thinking about for so many years, even if it was only a silhouette.

However, the newcomer only glanced in her direction before turning to leave. Everything happened too quickly, she didn't see the deep gaze he had in his eyes.

The man did not turn back the way he came. Instead, he walked up the stairs that led to the roof. Looking at the handsome back, Xia Ying was startled for a moment. Then, he had a look of understanding.

She finished the remaining Long Island Ice Tea in one breath. The bitterness from the base wine spread in her mouth and she chased after it after pouring two pieces of ice into her mouth.

During the day's wedding, the weather was still warm and sunny, but now it was so cloudy that the moon could no longer be seen. Xia Ying stood at the top of the roof as she stepped out, facing the dark world, and let out a faint sigh from the bottom of her heart.

She withdrew her gaze from the sky and looked at the man standing in front of her. She couldn't help but clench her fists.

As if he felt the sound of footsteps, the man was about to turn around, but he was instantly stopped by Xia Ying.

"Don't turn around!" Xia Ying screamed as if she had seen a ghost.

As if he had realized that he had lost control of himself, Xia Ying lowered his head, at a loss of what to do, and no longer had the boldness from when he shouted out earlier. "I have something to say to you, but can you not turn around and let me finish my words?"

After saying that, she subconsciously raised her head to look at the man's actions. She only managed to let out a sigh of relief when the man didn't do anything else with his back facing her.

"Actually, I have known you for more than ten years." She finally opened her mouth.

At this moment, the man with her back towards Xia Ying couldn't help but frown, but didn't make any movements. A charming smile blossomed on his handsome face, as he was starting to become somewhat interested in what she was going to say.

"At that time, I did not know your name. I only knew that your surname was Liang, so secretly, I called you Big Brother Liang."

"There was a line that I had kept in my heart for more than a decade, and I decided to say it today — I've been — since a dozen years ago."

Xia Ying had not finished speaking when a loud noise came from the stairs. She was already extremely nervous and did not know what to do.

There were some words that you might have held in your heart for your entire life, and all your planning was to say them out loud. However, on this day, you discovered some words that weighed a thousand pounds, and were difficult to reappear in the world.

He frowned as he turned around. When he saw Xia Ying, who was also looking at the stairs behind him, the man smiled and quickly moved towards the stairs.

Before Xia Ying could regain her senses, the man had already brushed past him, her head lowered as she quickly prepared to descend the stairs.

"Brother Yi, can I call you that from today on?" "

However, it was precisely these words that caused the man's figure to abruptly tremble when he was about to leave. The man — which was in other words, Liang Ye's face — had instantly frozen. It was a coldness that was sufficient to cause everyone to feel fear.

However, it only stopped there for a moment, before Liang Ye descended the stairs with a dark face.

As he was walking down the stairs, he saw the person who had made the noise — it was his friend.

But apparently the friends were drunk, and with the dim light on the stairs, he passed them by with his head down, and no one recognized him.

"Well, isn't this the new wife of the night?" "

Liang Ye had not even completely descended the stairs when he heard a mocking scream. His brows knitted tightly, and he stopped moving.

"Yeah, yeah, what's the matter, aren't you supposed to be at home at night?" Why is he here? "

"Could it be the night —"

"Hahahaha." "

Seeing the group of people that appeared out of nowhere, and hearing the mocking words, Xia Ying was at a loss for words. She lowered her head like a child who had done something wrong, and the only person who could save her would be Liang Yi Ting who had just walked down, but if she were to call him now, the situation would be even worse.

As a result, she could only helplessly stand there, completely without any ideas.

"Why are you here?" A big hand suddenly embraced Xia Ying's shoulders.

Feeling the heat, the tyrannical power, she suddenly raised her head, seeing the playful and disrespectful Liang Ye, her heart skipped a beat.

Liang Ye smiled sinisterly with a mysterious and undeniable look.

"You two have such a good relationship, going out on a date on your wedding night." Are you still the night we knew each other? "
