Chapter 1139: 1139
Mu Heng stared at the family of four looking blissful in the picture and was dumbfounded .

He initially reckoned that the woman he had fallen in love with at first sight was merely lying to him .
That was because she appeared, at most, to be in her twenties and did not look like someone who already had two children .
“Do you see this? These are my children and my husband . ”
Her lips curled up as she swept her gaze over his slack-jawed face .
“Th-These are your children?”
Upon seeing the pair of doll-like boy and girl, he was flabbergasted .
“Why would I lie to you?”
Now, she was secretly glad that she had taken such a picture with Egger before she returned to China .
With a cold snort, she kept her phone away .
Although Mu Heng did not want to admit it, the pair of children in the photo, especially the little girl, was alike this woman .
Meanwhile, although the little boy did not look like her, he resembled the man next to him a little?
She’s not lying to me, huh…
She is truly married… and even has two children .
Now, every time he recalled the blissful family of four in the picture, his heart would ache slightly .
He thought that he had finally found his other half, but it turned out that reality was this cruel .
Could this be god’s retribution on him for playing with women for so many years?
Pei Ge could not be bothered about his thoughts .

She felt satisfied at this man looking as if he had suffered a huge blow .
Coincidentally, her ride arrived at this point .
Hence, without another glance at the man, she got in the car and left .
When Mu Heng finally returned to himself from the thunderous truth he had found out, the woman was long gone .
The empty road only made him feel more aggrieved .
“In what way am I bad…”
She actually can’t be bothered with me at all .
Fine . Although her husband looks quite handsome, I am not too bad, too!
Feeling downcast, he decided to drink himself dead!
Of course! Since he was drinking, how could he be short of a bosom friend to accompany him?!
He whipped out his phone and unhesitatingly dialed his best friend’s number .
“Hey! I just fell out of love and want to have a round of drinks . Meet me at the usual place!”
After arranging a time, he made his way to the bar he had opened with a broken heart .
Bar Vista .
Before and now, this bar did not change much overall .
Still, the furnishing and layout inside had changed greatly .

It had become trendier and up-class .
Of course, since the lobby of the bar had such a huge change, the private rooms would naturally have a larger change .
Mu Heng’s private room was not as grand, and extravagant, as before .
Perhaps because of the changes in his mindset over the years, this private room had a more homely feeling today .
There was more than just alcohol inside now .
In the fridge of this private room, there were also milks and coffee available .
He sat in this homely private room and drank his alcohol silently, seemingly prepared to drown his sorrows in alcohol .
Right after he finished his fifth glass, the private door was finally pushed open from the outside .

He raised his head to look at the door immediately .
What greeted him was Ji Ziming’s handsome yet icy face .
His sharp features were akin to icicles—cold and hurtful .
“You’re here . Hurry and sit down . Accompany me in drinking; I’m so heartbroken today . ”
He raised his hand and waved his friend over .
The man lightly peered at him, whose face had a ‘my heart has been broken; my sky is falling’ look, and took a seat on the sofa quite a distance away .
To this slight disdain his best friend displayed, he only felt his heart turn even bitter .
“You’re being too much . So much for being good brothers! Your good brother here just had his heart broken today . Don’t you know to console me a little?”

He put down his glass and turned to shoot his best friend a wronged and aggrieved look .
“I got my heart broken,” he re-emphasized .
Who knew that the response he would get was—
“Mhm . ”
A light hum .
“…Hey! Couldn’t you at least ask me how I got my heart broken?” he unhappily muttered .
“Oh . ”
The man slightly nodded . Reaching out his well-defined hand, he took out the blue mountain coffee placed below the table and gracefully brewed himself a cup of it .
Ever since the incident five years ago, he had never drunk a drop of alcohol .
He was not a good listener, but it did not matter to Mu Heng, who had loads of things to talk about the woman he had just fallen in love with recently .
“…Do you think I still have a chance? S-She does have a husband, but I think that since she’s far from him right now…”
Halfway through his awkward speech, Ji Ziming suddenly put down the coffee cup in his hand with a cold look .
Pak!
With that sound, he was cut off halfway .
“She has children . ”
This statement from the man made him lose all energy, and he deflated like a balloon .
“Sigh! I just realized that we are truly brothers in suffering…”
He nudged his lips and commented glumly .
The man seemed not to have heard him as he merely continued sipping his coffee calmly .
“Are your parents still forcing you into marriage?”
This question made the man pause .
Although the other remained silent, he still understood that his life at the moment had not been smooth-sailing .
Still, no one would have a smooth and peaceful life given this issue .
“Actually, it’s also time for you to consider it . After all—”
“I’m not here to listen to your lecture . ”
The man lightly rubbed the coffee cup as he stated that in a cold voice .
“Yes, yes, yes . I’ll stop speaking about it, alright? Drink . Let’s drink . ”
With that, he raised his glass and continued drowning himself in his sorrows .
However, perhaps because the alcohol had upped his courage or because he was too curious, he suddenly asked a question .
“Ziming, are you still looking for her?”
