Chapter 364 Never look back
"they……"

Madison moved his head away from Barbara's shoulder and looked at the latter with a look that was a little confused and a little self-deprecating, but mostly relieved.

"Of course there will be 'them'..."

"You don't sound very surprised."

"He told me." Madison shook his head. "He didn't tell me completely, but he told me...in his own way."

"What did he say?"

"He said a lot, I...my mind is a little messed up now, you wait for me...freedom, greed, this is his evaluation of himself. He knows what is right, knows how to handle a relationship correctly, correctly Deal with his emotions properly... He understands everything, but he just can't do it."

"You just gave up like that, right?" Barbara lowered her eyes, experienced a brief moment of speechlessness, and then covered it up with a drink of wine, "That's quite frank."

"It's quite brutal to be frank." Maddie chuckled twice, and there was a cuteness in his drunkenness. "He told me directly that he couldn't defeat greed, and he couldn't resist freedom."

"Hmm." Barbara nodded in agreement.

"He always makes things more complicated."

Bathed in Madison's playful eyes, Barbara touched the back of her neck uncomfortably, using the gesture of drinking to cover up her embarrassment.

"There must be more than me." Madison shook her head stubbornly, "I don't even know their names."

"He wouldn't say such things." Barbara cleared her throat, "You must have heard wrong."

"This man's specialty."

"This pair of ears can hear more than ten voices playing at the same time...well, not everyone can hear clearly, but at least they can hear it." Madison tugged at the base of his ears. Drunk people are not gentle or heavy. , she gasped in pain and gritted her teeth, "At this time, I won't hear this kind of words wrong...otherwise, why would I tell you this in In-N-Out?" You can't help but say bad words after two or three sentences?"

"I can't make a choice, and I don't want to make a choice. Every woman who has had an intimate relationship wants to tie them up with their emotions... and at the same time tie him up."

"Four." Barbara thought for a moment, then added, "I know four."

This little girl, are you trying to hurt me with words?

At this point, Maddie burped and then quickly covered her mouth. Although she was drunk to this extent, the Changdao girl still maintained a basic sense of image management. After all, losing one's temper after drinking is quite serious, especially in front of a love rival.

Barbara lifted up the right side of her hair that was messy from hugging Madison, showing a slightly different but very similar expression to the latter's.

"It started in London."

"I..." The hesitation that appeared on Barbara's face flashed away, "I really don't know, every time Yi talked to me about his love life, he never mentioned their true identities. It’s referred to in…various ways.”

"Keep your distance? Since when?"

"How do you think it's decent?" Madison narrowed her eyes slightly. She was drunk anyway, so anything she said was drunk talk, so she just poured out all the complaints in her heart, "One more bang? In the same bed? Wake up once?"

"The third."

"..."

"How many are there in total?"

"So, he said he should have cut off all ties with you, but he couldn't."

"That evening?"

"But I have to reiterate to you again, I am not your enemy, Madison." Barbara looked up at the ceiling and let out a long breath, as if all the air stored in her lungs had been squeezed out. .

"……the next morning."

"You're lying."

"First girl, second girl, and so on."

"Calculate."

"What way?" Maddie tilted her head, "Girl A, girl B?"

"I don't know their names either."

"Huh." Madison's pupils shrank, and then she sneered, with a surprise that could not be overcome no matter how much mental preparation she made, and a little bit of lost self-mockery, "The appetite is quite big."

"Who are they?" Madison did not dwell on the question of who was the victim. Her thinking channels were straightened by alcohol, and now she only cared about the most important answer.

"Haha."

"is not that right?"

"That's the only reason I decided to distance myself from him, I didn't want to be anyone's fourth."

"Then who are the enemies?" Madison raised her index finger and pointed toward Las Vegas outside the glass curtain wall, "Them?"

"Neither are they. We are all victims, all..." Barbara hesitated, and after a while, she lowered her voice a little and said in a low voice, "Maybe he is also a victim, and so am I. have no idea."

"I know as much as you do."

"He really knows himself."

Barbara couldn't muster another witty response.

"There has to be a decent farewell."

"Terrible, perverted, and hopeless are how he described his mental illness."

"Count me in?" Barbie pointed her fingertips at herself.

"Who am I?"

Aren’t they all united?

"Why not? It's quite fun to make love."

Barbara once again showed Madison what it is to be a wolfish person who can only speak out with a blushing face and a heartbeat from an adult who has seen it before, and what is ginger or hot at the age of twenty-three.

Seeing Madison puffing up her cheeks unhappily, lowering her eyelids and continuing to pour whiskey into her mouth, Barbara breathed a sigh of relief and put on her kind smile again. Cheeks.

"Relax, we haven't had any close contact since then. In fact, this meeting - this time in Mad City - was our second time after seeing each other in London."

"How long is it in London? June?"

"The last one in London will be June 6th."

"June 6..."

Madison reluctantly opened her increasingly misty fox eyes, looked at her fingers that kept turning and folding, and calculated the approximate time.

"Four and a half months...then where have you seen each other again since then?"

"New York."

"VMA?!"

"Before that, I know you went to the VMAs... I wasn't there that day, don't be nervous." Barbara calmly stretched out her hand, signaling Madison to lower her tone.

"Exactly what month?"

"The end of July." "Three months... Did you go to Yi's apartment in New York for this meeting?"

"I didn't go. I haven't been there yet."

"Then where did you do the work?"

"Who told you..." Barbara was angry and funny, and no longer wanted to get to know this little drunkard. "Didn't I tell you? I only slept with him twice in total. Once in Ibiza and once in London. Once. We met in New York purely as friends, had dinner, took a walk outside, and chatted, that's all."

"Really?"

"It's true. After that conversation in the bar, the relationship between Yi and I changed. We really got along as friends. And I also became his emotional mentor, helping him answer questions. Doubts, give him ideas for dealing with problems... That's why I know so much about you, Madison."

"Didn't you say that he never revealed anyone's true identity to you? Am I an exception?"

"No, when he shared it with me, he just said that he had a girl in his career who was like an apprentice, whom he cared about very much, and he had been doing his best to fulfill his role as a mentor..."

"He said he was my mentor?" Madison held up her hot cheeks and giggled twice, "Hey, that's a bit sweet."

What's so sweet about this?

You didn't hear how I earnestly suggested to him that he must keep his distance from you.

Barbara rolled her eyelids in her mind, but her expression remained normal: "Although I didn't say your name directly, the truth is difficult to hide, there are all kinds of clues. When I went to Mad City, the first time I saw you across the dance floor was Eye, I knew you must be the third girl."

"Who are the first two girls?"

"Didn't I tell you that I didn't know?"

"You can guess me, but you can't guess the other two?"

"Just..." Barbara was secretly surprised. She didn't expect that this little girl who looked like she could fall down at any time could maintain such a fast reaction speed. "You never thought that they might not be here at all." At the scene? If not, how can I determine who it is?"

"Forget it if you don't want to say it, just continue to help him hide it." Madison waved her hand, "Anyway, I know that one of them must be Grace. I have been observing her for a long time. Who doesn't work here and still runs to the office every day? You know what she has in mind...are you right?"

"...I really don't know, I don't even know who this Grace you are talking about is." Barbara was not led around by Madison, she still kept Han Yi's secret.

"Since you are unwilling to tell me the complete truth, why did you have to reveal part of it to me in the first place?" Madison bit her tongue, "Isn't it good to let me... be confused and continue to know nothing?"

"First of all, I tell you because Yi has already made it very clear to you, right? Things that you can guess by yourself are just verified again by me." Barbara sighed softly. After taking a breath, he continued, "Secondly, I really don't know the identities of the other two girls...Furthermore, even if I knew, I shouldn't be the one to tell you, right? Although Yi...did it There are a lot of incorrect things, a lot of bastard things, a lot of which make me want to think about him... Anyway, although he has made mistakes, there is one thing he did not do wrong - he has always been protecting us, as he thinks Effective way."

"Even though he told me a lot, he never mentioned any private information outside of your love life. After I returned to the status of friends with him, he never did anything outrageous to me again. I don’t think he has any reason or qualification to do anything to me just because we have been intimate before... He respects, understands, and supports every decision I make. I believe he should do the same to you, right?"

"Yes." Madison nodded subconsciously and muttered, "Anything."

"To a certain extent, he does... feel guilty to us. But in fact, he feels even more guilty to himself. Yi is particularly powerful in terms of money and career. Sometimes I feel that there is no one like him in human history. There is such a person... I don’t know how to describe it, a person who is confident that he can control wealth, and that wealth will never leave him? I don’t know if you can understand what I mean.”

"Why not?" Madison raised her hands and pointed out a number to Barbara, "Eight million."

"It's good that you can understand. So, I feel that compared with his side, Yi is a little hesitant and undecided in terms of emotions. In fact, in my opinion, the reason why he wants everything is very Maybe it’s not because of the so-called freedom and greed, but because he is insecure and feels that if he makes a choice, it may not be the best one, or the one that will last until the end.”

"You mean, he is worried about us..." Madison pointed at Barbara and then at herself, "If we are with him, we will look down on him in the future and want to find... a better choice. ?”

"That's my gut feeling," Barbara responded, "even though it sounds crazy."

"You are so crazy." Madison shook his head and smacked his lips, "Judging from... everything he has shown now, we are the two who should be insecure."

"I know, that's why I say, my gut sounds crazy."

The Hungarian witch's intuition was rarely wrong, but this time, even she doubted herself.

Do you think that a top-tier rich man who can easily spend nine figures to buy a big toy would feel insecure in choosing a mate and worry about his partner finding someone else?

Is this still Earth?
"Anyway, regardless of whether my guess is correct or not, I can only say that I can clearly feel that Yi also wants to work hard to deal with this mess."

"I can feel it too." Madison agreed with Barbara's point of view. "If he doesn't want to do the right thing...or at least what he thinks is right in his heart, he doesn't actually need to spend so much money on us. So many thoughts, so many truths, so many truths... cheating on both sides, if you can hide it day by day, wouldn't it be more pleasant to treat us as toys?"

"It is precisely because of this that I will not reveal to you any secrets he told me. Because I sincerely hope that he can get a chance to come back, a chance to make up for all his shortcomings. I also hope that he will get such a chance." Opportunity."

This is the real reason why Barbara Pavin has always been tight-lipped about Zhao Youzhen's situation no matter how Madison Beer makes insinuations. If she really told Madison about the relationship between You Zhen and Han Yi, then Madison-Bill's management and the future of Han Music will inevitably cast a lingering shadow.

The manager and the artist she manages are love rivals. Once this is revealed, how can Madison work with her most trusted Yoo Jin in the future?
If this matter continues to ferment within the company, how will others view Han Yi as the founder.

Managers and artists are all in one place. Is it a company or a harem that you run?
Barbara didn't resent Han Yi. Their summer relationship started with a romantic encounter in Ibiza and ended in a rainy night in London. At that time, Han Yi was completely single and had never expressed his affection for any woman clearly. , and has never had intimate contact with any women. Regardless of whether he failed Xiaoru and Youzhen, at least he had never deceived Barbara.

Therefore, she would never do anything to harm Han Yi.

She won't talk about Zhao Youzhen, and she won't talk about Xu Yiru even more. Although there seems to be no connection between the two, Barbara knows very well that once a smart and agile girl like Maddie is confirmed, Grace and If we follow this line of investigation into the relationship between Han and Yi, it will only be a matter of time before we uncover the red line between Yu Zhen and her boss.

"I do not quite understand."

Madison naturally couldn't hear Barbara's mental activities. She frowned in confusion and looked at the cup in her hand, seeming to be asking the other party, but also seemed to be having a conversation with herself.

"Since you want to give him a chance, then why did you tell me that there are two more 'thems'?"

"I don't want to sound too condescending, Madison, but...the reason why I did this is to give you such an opportunity." Barbara clasped her hands together, put them to her lips, and said extremely seriously, "I originally I don’t want to tell you this, but I just saw you so sad because of this incident, and I really...can’t bear to stand aside and watch. Because, as time goes by, I realize that I have fallen in love with him, and I also To have experienced moments of heartbreak like the one you experienced today in the dead of night.”

"Have you ever?"

"Yeah, it's all over, but... I know, I know exactly how you feel now. I've tasted it myself, more than once. At that time, I really wished that someone could stand up and tell me Solution, tell me how to face this reality."

"How to face it?"

"Be honest with yourself, this is the only way. That's why I have to tell you this key fact today - in addition to the me you see now, there are two girls who are packages that he can't let go of. ." Barbara took a deep breath and continued, "The situation will not get better, Madison. I know Yi, and you also know Yi. It is very difficult to make him change in a short time. Difficult things. You just said that you felt that your previous life was like a downward spiral whirlpool, so let me tell you, Han Yi's current whirlpool is bigger and deeper than yours, and the speed of decline is also faster. If not Escape as soon as possible, you will only be dragged into the bottom of the sea with him, and you will never come up again.

"Did you escape?"

"I escaped." Barbara responded categorically. "There will never be any relationship between me and him again. I need to be responsible for myself and my own life. I don't want this kind of life." , I don’t want... to be alone in In-N-Out late at night, swallowing food silently. I don’t want a girl like you to push in the door again and say some sarcastic words to me who is already at the bottom of my depression. "

"Why are you so depressed?" Madison asked, "What happened between you and Yi today?"

"This happened that I'm telling you about."

Having said this, Barbara leaned down, picked up the whiskey on the wine table, and poured herself a glass of strong drink.

"It's over between us... the kind that will never look back."

"Never look back?"

Seeing Barbara's action, Madison handed the bottomed glass in front of her again.

"Although today is the first time we have met, Barbara, I think you are really smart, strong, and brave. I like you very much." The water level of the alcohol in the glass is getting higher and higher, Madison His smile became brighter and brighter, "Actually, without you having to tell me, I can probably guess his situation. Before I met you, I had already made... my decision."

"Like you, I don't want to live like this anymore. This kind of torture with no end in sight is enough. I'm still young, and there are many good things waiting for me in the future. I know that I won't I need to place all my expectations and happiness on one person. I didn’t need it before, and I don’t need it now.”

Madison grabbed Barbara's hand and suddenly moved closer to the latter.

"Come on, drink this glass of wine, and let's welcome a new life together."

The two glasses collided in mid-air, neither violently nor gently, creating a crisp and decisive sound.

"never look back."

"never look back."
