Before the assistant could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Lu Benlai. “I’m fine. You can leave if I tell you to…”

With that, Lu Benlai lifted the quilt and got off the bed. He went into the bathroom.

When he took a shower and washed off the smell of alcohol all over his body, the assistant was already gone when he came out of the bathroom.

He was the only one left in the huge house.

It was very late, but he was not sleepy at all. He stared at the hangover soup his assistant left by the bed for a while, then put on a coat and went to the balcony.

It was very late at night, and the whole neighborhood was silent. The sky was so dark that there was not even a speck of Starlight.

Lu Benlai quietly raised his head and stared at the endless sky for a long time before he retracted his gaze. Then, he took out his phone and lowered his head.

He unlocked the screen and entered the phone’s browser. What he saw was the official website of an international well-known brand of jewelry.

This was the page that he had not logged out of when he was searching for rings in his office in the afternoon.

Every ring inside was expensive and the style was very beautiful. He stared at the page alone and hesitated for a long time. He did not know which one to choose for her… but if he really bought it, he would give it to her, would she accept it?

Two and a half years ago, she made a bet with him. If it snowed on Christmas Day, she would consider him.

Unfortunately, the weather was not perfect that day. He made a fake snow in exchange for her consideration.

One and a half years ago, it was still Christmas Day. He made another bet with her. It was on the roadside of Chang ‘an street. He looked at the cars speeding past in the middle of the night and told her that in half an hour, if the final number of the cars was an even number, then she would fulfill one of his wishes. If it was an odd number, then he would fulfill one of her wishes..

She agreed. In the end, he won. In fact, she won. However, he made preparations in advance and had his assistant wait near Chang ‘an street. At the last moment, he changed the situation.

The wish that he raised was very simple. It was the wish that he had been looking forward to ever since the first time he saw her at G University — to be his girlfriend.

He could tell that she was hesitating that day, but in the end, she said, “I’ll take my chances.”

Just like that, he and she became the most unlikely couple in the world.

For the past year and a half, they had seen each other often and had gone on a date every weekend, but they were like the most ordinary couple in the world, with no interaction at all.

That’s right, they had not even held hands, hugged, or kissed.

At first, he felt that she might have slowly warmed up. He did not think too much about it because he truly liked her. It was not because of these intimate things. However, over time, she had always been cold and indifferent, he would always feel uncomfortable in his heart.

She had considered him because of gambling. She had agreed to be with him because of gambling… perhaps in the bottom of her heart, she had never thought of being with him… not even a little, otherwise, why would she still treat him as the most unfamiliar man in the world after so long.

Lu Benlai, who had been in a trance for a long time, was jolted back to his senses by the vibration of the phone in his hand.

He pursed his lips slightly and took a look at the time. Seeing that it was already very late, he returned to his bedroom.

..

After returning home, Lin Jiage first took a look at Shi Yao in the bedroom. Seeing that the young lady was still in a deep sleep, he discreetly walked into the bathroom.
