I'll Still Love You Tomorrow Chapter 9: Take me Home

Lu Jingyan coughed lightly, glancing at the half finished cup of coffee in front of Sheng Xian. She pondered for a moment, picked up the cup and took a sip, “...An indirect kiss partner he isn’t close to.”

Sheng Xian, “...”

Bo Mu, “...”

“You don’t believe me? I have proof.” Lu Jingyan opened her bag, took out a few red notes and waved them in front of Bo Mu, “Look at this, one, two, three, four, five…”

Sheng Xian’s head started to ache from her childish antics, he massaged his temples and interrupted her, “Do you need anything?”

Lu Jingyan stubbornly finished counting all five notes before asking, “What about you? Do you need anything?”

Sheng Xian nodded, “Yes.”

“What is it?” Lu Jingyan glanced at Bo Mu, “Let you enjoy your date with her?”

Sheng Xian didn’t wish to answer her strange question.

Lu Jingyan stared at him, “Is she your type?”

“Do you like her type?”

Seeing her persistent ‘I will not give up until I get an answer’ expression, and the impending explosion, Sheng Xian fell silent for a few seconds before giving up, “No.”

Lu Jingyan pondered over his answer for a while but didn’t understand what he meant.

Was it that he didn’t like Bo Mu’s type, or…

Sheng Xian seemed to see through her thoughts, and explained calmly, “We’re not on a date, it's for work.”

That was when Lu Jingyan realized there were a few documents on the table.

She swept past the documents.

It seemed to be a contract termination document.

Seems like it was really for work.

Men hated when their girlfriend disturbed them at work.

Lu JingYan certainly wouldn’t be dumb enough to fall into that category. She nodded slowly and stood up with her bag, "You can take your time, I'll wait outside."

Lu Jingyan was afraid Sheng Xian didn’t understand her words, and added, “I’ll be waiting for you.”

Lu Jingyan came in like a tornado, and left like an obedient cat.

In order to appear particularly obedient, she graciously shut the door for them.

…

Bo Mu's management contract was about to expire and a new contract was being negotiated. As there were many terms and hidden traps, it was 11pm by the time they went through all the individual terms.

While Bo Mu organized the documents, she slid Sheng Xian several glances, and finally couldn't hold back any more, "How did you meet her?"

Sheng Xian took a second to realize she was referring to Lu Jingyan, “She’s Chen Kai’s friend.”

“Oh.”

After she had taken her things, she stood up and couldn’t help adding, “I met her in middle school, she wasn’t well liked and had snatched another girl’s boyfriend…”

“Have you taken everything?” Sheng Xian looked up, his voice soft.

Bo Mu opened her mouth, and after a second, she replied dryly, “...Yes.”

Sheng Xian didn’t say anything, he took his trench coat and walked out.

The dining area outside was closed, there were only three waiters left cleaning the area.

Sheng Xian reached for his wallet, “How much is it?”

The waiter cleaning the table smiled, “Someone already paid the bill.”

Sheng Xian paused.

The next second, the waiter pointed to the seat outside the window, “That lady paid the bill.”

Sheng Xian glanced towards the direction he was pointing at.

Outside the french window was the glistering night view of the bustling city.

There was a white bag on the black table.

There was a person lying beside the bag, her black hair spreading over her shoulders.

Bo Mu was a little suspicious, “She hasn’t left?”

Sheng Xian glanced at the person silently.

The waiter thought Bo Mu was asking him, “She said this man had a date with her so we didn’t have the heart to chase her away.”

Bo Mu glanced towards Sheng Xian.

Sheng Xian had an indifferent expression.

Just as she was about to call out to him, he said, “Miss Bo, you can leave first.”

Bo Mu paused slightly, “Alright, I’ll contact you again.”

Sheng Xian nodded silently.

After Bo Mu left, he walked towards the window.

…

Lu Jingyan wanted to rest for a while, and hadn’t expected to fall asleep.

Half awake, she felt something tap her shoulder. Annoyed, she turned her head to the other side, but the force on her shoulder intensified and she woke up.

She was in a daze when she opened her eyes. When she felt the weight on her shoulder, she realized someone was trying to wake her up.

She was grumpiest when she was half awake, and she lifted her head with displeasure, “F*ck…”

Before she could finish, Sheng Xian’s expressionless face appeared before her.

She stilled, her voice disappearing.

Her mouth hung in a daze momentarily and she smiled, “Brother, you’re done?”

Sheng Xian was rendered speechless at the speed she could change her expression.

Lu Jingyan rubbed her eyes, straightening slowly.

She wore a long sleeve top that crumpled when she slept on her arms, there were folds from when she rubbed her eyes, appearing strangely like a klutz, completely unlike her usual confident goddess self.

Lu Jingyan looked round the cafe but didn’t see Bo Mu, “That woman left?”

Sheng Xian, “Mmh.”

Lu Jingyan smiled, her curved eyes lighting up, “We’re the only ones left?”

Sheng Xian remained silent, not knowing the reason behind her joy.

Lu Jingyan grabbed her bag and stood up, “Take me home.”
