Urban All-Round Master

Chapter 2265: Chapter 2254: Confession to Zhao Xuemo

It seems that Zhao Xuemo felt Lin Zifeng’s fiery gaze, so she looked in that direction, but all that greeted her was a slightly thin and lonely back. Looking at the man’s skinny and lonely back, Zhao Xuemo’s delicate body paused slightly, her heart skipped a beat, thinking she must have seen it wrong. She then shook her head firmly, and when she looked in that direction again, the man had already disappeared from her sight…

“Xuemo, what’s wrong with you?” the man gently asked by her ear.

Zhao Xuemo’s alluring figure froze for a moment, her face turned pale, then she revealed a faint smile and said, “It’s nothing, let’s go, don’t keep them waiting.”

With that, Zhao Xuemo walked into the bar in her exquisite high heels.

This bar is considered quite high-end in Zhonghai City, located in an extremely bustling area. Not only is it in a good feng shui location, but the most important thing is the constant flow of people. Wealthy and high-status individuals love coming to this bar. The reason is simple: it’s said the bar’s owner has some connections with the Holy Hall and recently the ties have grown even deeper.

With the Holy Hall, a massive lion as support, almost everyone gives face to the Holy Hall, and as for this bar, business is getting better and better.

After entering the bar, Lin Zifeng chose a secluded and dark corner to drink alone. The reason he chose such a place, apart from experiencing the atmosphere, was mainly to reminisce about the past.

With the man’s company, Zhao Xuemo soon followed Lin Zifeng into the bar. Upon entering, it was clear that the man’s status and standing were incredibly high, even the lobby manager quickly greeted and flattered him on both sides.

“Oh! Young Master Wen, you’re here! I’ve already prepared the spot you wanted for you. Oh, right, the friends you mentioned have all arrived, and they’re waiting for you in the private room.”

The lobby manager was a slick-talking man in his thirties, dressed in a straight and sharp suit. His fawning words made Young Master Wen feel secretly delighted to his core.

“Alright, lead the way.” The man nodded coldly, then carefully reached out to hold Zhao Xuemo’s dazed hand, but as soon as he touched her hand, Zhao Xuemo instinctively avoided it, directly rejecting the man’s action.

This scene naturally didn’t escape the lobby manager’s eyes, but being an old hand, he pretended not to see anything to save Young Master Wen’s face.

The man smiled slightly, not angry or upset about Zhao Xuemo’s small act of avoidance. Instead, he tapped his nose, letting the lobby manager lead them to the private room they had reserved.

“Could I really have been mistaken? Was it my imagination?” Zhao Xuemo was lost in thought, recalling the figure she saw at the entrance. Even now, she was filled with uncertainty because there was still a slight connection between her and Lin Zifeng.

Although she never expected to win Lin Zifeng’s heart, there was still a place for him in her heart.

In recent times, Lin Zifeng’s disappearance brought significant changes to Zhao Xuemo’s life. She resigned from Huayu Group, not because they treated her poorly, but because she felt no meaning or value in staying.

She stayed because Lin Zifeng was there. After his disappearance, many people assumed he was dead, but no matter what, Zhao Xuemo believed he couldn’t have died.

The biggest reason was that she later found out Nangong Bing was Lin Zifeng’s wife. She realized she couldn’t have Lin Zifeng, and he might not even have a place for her in his heart. To avoid interfering with Lin Zifeng and Nangong Bing’s relationship, Zhao Xuemo chose to leave and remain silent.

To truly love someone isn’t to possess them but to wish them well. She didn’t want to cause any rift between him and Nangong Bing because of her.

Anyway, Zhao Xuemo never had any confidence in herself. Since she couldn’t change others, why not try to change herself?

“Xuemo, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Or is it that you’re having trouble adjusting to this environment?” At this moment, the man beside her paused, sensing Zhao Xuemo’s anomaly, and gently asked in concern.

“No, no… It’s nothing. Maybe the smell of alcohol here is too strong. It’s hard to get used to all at once.” Zhao Xuemo lightly parted her lips and said with a smile.

“Xuemo, I’m really sorry. Originally, these friends and I planned to reserve a Western restaurant, but they changed the venue at the last minute. If I had known you didn’t like this place, I would have arranged something better for you. Truly, this was my oversight.” Although he said so, the man secretly felt pleased in his heart.

It seems Zhao Xuemo isn’t the kind of woman I imagined. I didn’t expect her to truly dislike bars, but it’s worth it. At least I managed to test it out this time.

“It’s okay, as long as you can take care of your business, I won’t feel bad. After all, last time for my sake, you nearly messed up your proposal. This time, no matter what, you have to make up for that loss. Don’t mind me, just focus on completing your tasks. For me, it’s worth it.” Zhao Xuemo thoughtfully said.

“Xuemo, I’m really grateful to you. Knowing you is a blessing I’ve cultivated over many lifetimes. You’re so kind and considerate. Really, if possible, I, Li Wen, no matter what methods or means I have to use, I want to make you mine, to cherish you and love you for life, never letting you be hurt, and ensuring you’re happy and joyful for a lifetime.

Xuemo, I’m serious about you. I truly hope you can give me a chance, okay? I, Li Wen, will love you for a lifetime. Even in death, I will spend my life protecting you.”

The man’s voice suddenly trembled with excitement in his confession. This left Zhao Xuemo with a sudden sense of revulsion, while at the same time, she felt an inexplicable touch rising within her.

After all, she really longed for someone to speak to her this way. Unfortunately, this day would never come because that person might already be dead now.

“Li Wen, let’s talk about this later. I’m not ready yet. I know you’re a good person, and I know you truly treat me well. But right now, I really can’t accept this. My emotional world has always been very simple, with no emotional experiences, so personally, I have a huge aversion to emotions. I hope you can understand my difficulties.” Zhao Xuemo gently explained her refusal.

In these past days, she learned that this man indeed treated her well, but when it came to discussing love or emotions, it was really hard for her to accept.
