Until someone in the private room asked, "Is Adrianing to Michael''s weing party?"


    "He shoulde, they were good brothers back in the day."


    "Why haven''t we seen him yet?"


    Yeah, why haven''t we seen him yet?


    Vivian nced at her phone. She had messaged Adrian before she left, asking where he was, but he didn''t reply. Vivian guessed that he was driving and it was inconvenient for him to reply. But she had already arrived, and so much time had passed, yet he still hadn''t shown up, nor replied to her message.


    Vivian couldn''t help but feel a bit worried.


    Her friend noticed her holding her phone, a calcting expression flickered in their eyes, then they said everyone, "Vivian, why don''t you give Adrian a call? He''ll answer your call." Vivian looked at her friend who spoke, and her friend winked at her, indicating for her to make the call.


    Vivian understood what her friend meant. They simply wanted to confirm her rtionship with Adrian everyone.


    But... she had messaged Adrian before she left, and he still hadn''t replied. If she called him now, would he answer?


    So making this call might not be safe. What if Adrian didn''t answer? Wouldn''t she lose face?


    Vivian tugged at her lip and said, "Forget it, it''s already thiste. If he''s not in the elevator, he''s driving. Even if I call, he won''t answer."


    Unfortunately, everyone''s curiosity had already been piqued.


    "Just call, just try it out."


    "Yeah, Vivian, we all know how important you are in Adrian''s heart. He''ll answer your call, even if he''s driving."


    Everyone urged her to make the call.


    Vivian felt a little hesitant, and nced at Michael sitting across from her.


    Michael seemed oblivious to themotion, and continued to look at his phone screen, lowering his head.


    "Vivian, make the call, it''s been so long since we''ve heard Adrian''s voice."


    "Yeah, Vivian, just think of it as satisfying our curiosity. Just making one call is fine."


    Satisfy your curiosity?


    Vivian sneered in her heart, who do you think you are?


    If it wasn''t for Adrian''s face, she wouldn''t want toe to this gathering at all.


    Vivian smiled and was about to say something, when the door to the private room was pushed open.


    Everyone looked towards the sound.


    Adrian, wearing a ck coat, walked in looking dusty, followed by Eva, who was also wearing a coat but in a light beige color.


    Eva had tied her waist-length hair behind her head, without any makeup, natural and beautiful.


    But even so, her beauty was not at all affected. She had well-defined facial features,bined with her fair and delicate skin, making her look wless. As soon as she entered the private room, Eva was surprised by the crowd, while Adrian remained indifferent, with no intention of exining.


    Eva had no choice but to speak up: "Sorry, we got stuck in traffic on the way here."


    Her voice was clear and melodious, like flowing water that sounded pleasing to the ear.


    Standing next to Adrian, her slender figurebined with their simr coat styles gave off the illusion that they were a couple wearing matching outfits.


    Several years ago, when they were still teenagers, Eva and Adrian were childhood sweethearts. Wherever Adrian was, Eva would be there too. They often went out together, and everyone had be used to it.


    But precisely because of this, no one had ever considered that there could be anything more between them. Having seen each other''s true selves too much, without any filters, how could they be together? And if they had feelings for each other, they would have been together long ago.


    So it made the onlookers feel a sense of mncholy, unable to help but direct their gaze towards Vivian in the center of the room.


    Vivian was also feeling uneasy at this moment.


    Because the way these two were dressed was like a p to her face.


    Her inner turmoil grew, and the situation was out of her control. But what else could she do? There were so many people present; she couldn''t afford to embarrass herself.


    Vivian got up and walked to Eva''s side, affectionately linking her arm with hers.


    "It''s alright, it doesn''t matter if you''rete. As long as you arrived safely, sit with me."


    Eva had seen her true colors and knew that she liked to put on a performance everyone. When she pulled her over, Eva restrained her gaze and did not refuse, sitting down beside her.


    The crowd was surprised, their gazes shifting between the two faces, their expressionsplicated.


    Adrian took a seat next to Michael.


    "You''re here."


    Although these words were spoken after Adrian had sat down, Michael''s gaze was fixed on Eva.


    "Mhm." Adrian nced at Michael after he sat down and noticed his gaze directed towards a certain direction. Realizing what he was looking at, Adrian also turned his head to look, and he saw Eva. His expression changed, his eyes bing colder, emanating a chilling aura.


    Feeling a gaze filled with coldness on herself, Eva followed the gaze and met Adrian''s icy eyes.


    She hesitated, her delicate eyebrows furrowing.


    Was he looking at her like this because she was sitting next to his beloved white moonlight? Hmph, if she had known, she would have refused his white moonlight everyone.


    But then again, Adrian would be even more infuriated.


    Vivian was also looking at Adrian. His gaze was fixed on Eva, her inner uneasiness grew.


    She lowered her gaze, biting her lower lip, her fingers entwining together.


    The atmosphere among the four of them seemed to be strangely tense.


    After a while, someone shouted to order and asked them what


    "Do you want to drink alcohol?" Michael smiled and replied, "I''vee here by driving, so I won''t drink. You guys go ahead and order."


    Adrian remained silent, and everyone could feel the chilling aura surrounding him. They were always hesitant to ask him anything.


    They were only talking about their experiences throughout the years. However, after a few sses of liquor, people started to be bolder.


    One of the guys, who was wearing sses and had a low alcohol tolerance, was already showing signs of being drunk. However, his gaze kept fixating on Vivian''s face. After a while, he picked up his ss and said, "Vivian, we''ve gathered here, can you and Adrian have a drink with all of us?"


    There was a brief silence in the private room, followed by a lively atmosphere.


    "Yeah, have a drink with us. It''s not easy for you two after all these years."


    "It''s been so many years since west celebrated together. When will you invite us to your wedding?"


    The drunken voice shouted.


    Vivian nced at Adrian and found that he had lowered his eyes, sitting there motionless as if he hadn''t heard what others were saying.


    Vivian could only awkwardlyugh and say, "Please don''t say such things. Adrian''s current status is not something you can casually joke about."
