"Fourth Brother, Sister-in-Law seems quite upset. Are you comfortable letting her go out by herself?"
Lin Yuanhang gently touched Xu Boyan's arm, posing the question.
Clearly, even he could tell that Lu Qingyi wasn't herself. It was impossible for Xu Boyan to have missed that.
"I know. Let her handle it herself."
Xu Boyan left the table, retreating into the corner where they had just been seated. He reached into his pocket, intending to take out a cigarette.
Unfortunately, his search was in vain; his pocket was devoid of both cigarettes and a lighter.
When he pledged with Lu Qingyi to quit smoking, he'd stopped carrying cigarettes. Even though Lu Qingyi refused to quit, she still carried cigarettes with her.
"Give me a cigarette."
Xu Boyan extended his hand towards Lin Yuanhang, his tone chilly.
The resignation in his voice was clear; he felt like a failure, being unaware of what was happening with his girlfriend.
"Fourth Brother, you're doing okay, right?"
