The Female Leads Truly Loves You - Chapter 424

Chapter 424: Go ahead, come back soon
The bustling city center was filled with people.

Here stood Kuhang’s tallest tower, surrounded by countless skyscrapers.

Many iconic scenes from globally popular TV shows and movies were filmed here. Though the original charm might have faded over time, the city’s vibrancy remained.

On this day, it was as lively as ever, with lights shining brightly under the night sky.

“So, you didn’t book that bar, did you?”

Sam looked up at the most bustling and grand building, visible to the naked eye.

In the past, it offered the best view for New Year’s celebrations.

But for Angel, who didn’t want to parade around in such luxurious attire on the streets, it wasn’t a difficult task.

With her personality, she could secure a spot even a minute before the countdown, using any means necessary.

Angel smiled slightly.

“Why? Do you want to be face-to-face and butt-to-butt with strangers on the street?”

Sam had initially thought of walking around with her, experiencing the lively New Year’s atmosphere like everyone else, enjoying the festive spirit.

But there were just too many people!

Every shop, every stall, even vending machines were crowded.

In such a crowded place, strolling around didn’t feel festive at all.

“This time, I’ll follow your lead.”

Sam guided Angel, almost protectively, like a knight escorting his lady, into the building’s elevator.

As the floors rose, the numbers became more impressive, and naturally, the number of people decreased.

After all, the higher floors, offering the best views of Kuhang’s nightscape, were more expensive. The rent and service costs were exorbitant.

At a certain level, it was no longer accessible to ordinary people. Bars, high-end restaurants, and even exclusive nightclubs for the elite were located here.

When the elevator doors opened, the hallway’s opulence was evident. The floor wasn’t just tiled but also carpeted with a soft layer.

The warm air immediately made one forget the winter chill.

The dimly lit hallway exuded an intimate ambiance, fitting for a bar.

Angel led Sam into the dimly lit bar, where only a few lights were on. It was unusually quiet, with occasional soft conversations, matching the bar’s sophisticated vibe.

Sam felt… how to put it?

Like a country boy stepping into high society.

It was a bit overwhelming.

Angel, dressed to match the setting, even a notch above, walked confidently in her high heels, holding Sam’s hand.

She looked up.

“Are you nervous?”

Sam smiled. “First time in a place like this, can’t I be a bit nervous?”

Actually, he wasn’t that flustered. As long as he knew no one would look down on him because of the girl by his side, he was fine. What did others’ opinions matter to him?

Angel knew he was calm, but she held his hand.

“It’s okay, just stay by my side.”

“Mm.”

Soon, a neatly dressed waiter respectfully led them to a window seat.

The spot offered a perfect view of the towering skyscraper and Kuhang’s beautiful nightscape below.

Angel smiled.

“How’s the view here?”

Sam nodded, looking at her.

“I’ve never doubted your taste.”

“Really?”

“Of course. Whether it’s your daily outfits, your choice of date spots, or your taste in boyfriends, it’s all top-notch.”

Angel couldn’t help but laugh.

“Can you stop praising yourself for everything?”

Sam replied matter-of-factly.

“You don’t like complimenting me, so can’t I do it myself?”

“Maybe you don’t have anything worth praising.”

“Impossible. You just haven’t discovered my extreme beauty yet.”

“You’re really good at arguing.”

Sam took a photo with his phone and sent it to the two girls who hadn’t arrived yet, along with the address.

He added a note.

[Hurry up, we’re already here.]

Angel ordered two cocktails.

Not the high-alcohol kind, since the night was long and needed to be enjoyed slowly.

Sam noticed the bulging bag Angel had brought, seemingly filled with many things.

He smiled and asked.

“Did you prepare a gift?”

Angel huffed, elegantly lifting her glass.

“Since you asked so earnestly, I couldn’t be too heartless, right?”

“What are you giving me?”

Sam couldn’t help but be curious.

What would this girl give him? She was wealthy, but she wouldn’t give him something tacky. And Sam didn’t need expensive gifts from her.

Even if Angel gave him luxury items, he’d keep them at home, not sell them or flaunt them.

Angel smiled mysteriously.

“It’ll be more fun to reveal it when they arrive. This time, you can’t sneak a peek. Why don’t you tell me what you prepared first, so I won’t be disappointed and laughed at by them?”

Sam remained relaxed, even more so than Angel.

“Don’t worry. I guarantee my gift will be unique.”

Sam was confident.

After all, the weekly sign-ins had given him many special items, and he had carefully selected them.

Many were rare, and if not for the potential uproar, he would have sold them long ago.

“Really? What if I’m disappointed?”

Angel thought he was bluffing, but she couldn’t help but believe this boy who always exceeded her expectations.

Sam smiled nonchalantly.

“If you’re disappointed, you can deal with me however you want.”

“You said it.”

“Of course. When have I lied to you?”

“When haven’t you lied to me?”

“…”

“Phew~ There are so many people outside. It took a bit longer. But booking such a luxurious bar, as expected of Angel~”

Isabella was dressed particularly cutely today.

A pink Chanel-style shawl, a turtleneck sweater highlighting her beautiful figure, white stockings on her legs, and a short skirt showing her youthful age.

Her slightly curled golden hair, with a hint of wave.

Wearing a red and white beret.

She looked like a character straight out of an anime, with a dreamy, manga-like vibe.

Angel saw Isabella, also carrying a large bag, and smirked.

“Senior, you’re dressed quite specially today.”

Isabella, seemingly oblivious to Angel’s underlying tone, smiled.

“Today is special, so I dressed up. Angel, you look stunning and elegant.”

“Thank you for the compliment.”

Angel smiled, though her expression lacked sincerity.

Isabella didn’t mind, smiling at Sam.

“Where’s Sophie?”

Sam frowned.

“She didn’t come with you?”

Isabella shook her head.

“She didn’t contact me, and she didn’t reply to my messages.”

“Really?”

Sam thought for a moment, then took out his phone to call her, not caring that Angel was watching.

The call connected.

“Hello? Where are you?”

Sam asked.

A faint, slightly distorted voice came through.

“I’m… on the street… so many people…”

“Speak clearly, I can’t hear you.”

“I said I’m on… the street… ah!”

Suddenly, the call disconnected.

When Sam tried to call back, there was no signal.

“What’s going on?”

Sam couldn’t help but worry. It seemed something had happened to her.

But there was no signal.

Isabella was also puzzled.

“Is it because there are too many people today, and the signal is bad?”

“Damn… She might be in trouble. I need to go find her.”

Sam looked at Angel.

He was worried she might get angry and ruin the night.

But Angel just casually lifted her glass.

“Go ahead, come back soon.”
