Chapter 295
It had been at least seven years ago, at that time, she had just picked up smoking, but was soon stopped by that person . . . . Right now, she wished that he would appear again, would come up to her with a furious expression, snatching the cigarette away from her . How she wished that he would scold her, but all that was just a dream . At this point, he would never appear before her again . . .
Song Xiangsi couldn’t help shaking her head, forcing back the memories that she had spent the past few years trying to forget . She took in another deep puff before blowing a perfect circle . Through the smoke, she could see Lu Jinnian staring blankly into space .
Song Xiangsi twitched, tapping the ash tray lightly . In a hoarse voice, she asked, “What’s wrong? Bad mood?” She added ruthlessly, “Because of Qiao Anhao?”
Yes, because of Qiao Anhao . . .
Somehow, every time he got upset, it would always be linked to Qiao Anhao . . .
Lu Jinnian’s throat clenched, he took another deep puff, steering the topic away . “Why are you here alone celebrating a friend’s birthday? Your lover?”
“Hahaha . . ” Song Xiangsi scoffed as though she had heard something funny . She laughed so hard her tears welled out before turning back to Lu Jinnian with a serious expression . “He’s dead . “
Deep in her heart, there was a dead person .
Inside the heart of a seemingly carefree person, there seemed to be a heart-wrenching story .
Guys weren’t as gossipy as women, so Lu Jinnian stopped asking, sinking into silence .
Song Xiangsi didn’t speak as well, the two of them sitting in silence as they continued to smoke one cigarette at a time . After a seemingly long while, Song Xiangsi suddenly said in a low voice, “The rumors about my start are real, I started as an escort . ”

Lu Jinnian froze slightly before remembering the rumors when she just became popular .
But Song Xiangsi was born to act, her fame increased rapidly, burying all those rumors .
Song Xiangsi moved to the front of Lu Jinnian, before continuing on in a small, emotionless voice, “But I only sold myself to one person, for fifty thousand RMB . ”
She raised her hand towards him, emphasizing the five with her outstretched fingers . Then self-depreciation spread across her face . “I sold myself for seven years, isn’t worth it, huh?”
Song Xiangsi raised her arm to extinguish the cigarette as though she hadn’t said anything . “It’s getting late, I’ll be going back now . Lu Jinnian, bye bye!”
Without waiting for Lu Jinnian to react, she turned and walked away in her heels .
After she left, the office sunk into a hollow silence . Lu Jinnian stood still all the way till the midnight alarm sounded . Through the open glass window, he stared out at the flickering lights, cherishing the end of his birthday .
He stared on for a long while, remembering the night five years ago that he would never forget . . . .
