What was the use of such a boyfriend?

Yu Wenci’s eyes were filled with complicated emotions as he suppressed them.

“Apologizing is useless. Look, it’s all red. I want to drink milk tea. This is the only thing that can comfort my injured hand and heart.”

“Okay.” He reached out and stroked her hair.

“Yay! Then let’s hurry home. As for the milk tea, Big Brother will compensate me when the weather is good.”

Yu Zitong dragged him home. After practicing the piano all afternoon, she only wanted to go back and rest on the sofa.

“Okay,” Yu Wenci agreed.

The reason why Yu Zitong was in such a hurry to leave was that she was a little curious. She wanted to drag her brother to a place where there was no one to ask.

He smiled brightly at his pretty sister and waved goodbye. “We’ll take our leave first.”

Su Yunxiu waved goodbye to them, completely oblivious to the man’s fleeting emotions.

Yu Zitong was carefree and couldn’t hide anything. As they left, she pestered Yu Wenci and asked him questions. Su Yunxiu vaguely heard a few more words.

What photo album? The girl in the picture?

Su Yunxiu couldn’t hear the voice clearly.

Never mind.

She shouldn’t be too curious about the big shot.

The rain outside turned from heavy to light. Su Yunxiu looked at the time and saw that ten minutes had passed. Half an hour later, there were cars coming and going outside, but the familiar car was still nowhere to be seen.

No one picked up her call. Su Yunxiu continued to lie on the table in frustration, her fingertips moving slightly as she played a game on her phone.

As time passed, the girl could no longer remember how many rounds she had played. The smile on her face disappeared. Just as she was wondering if she could start another round, a black car stopped at the door.

Xu Mu got out of the car with an umbrella. Her eyesight was very good, and she seemed to be able to see a figure in the backseat through the car window.

“Xiuxiu, I’m here.”

“What took you so long?” Su Yunxiu put away her phone and asked casually. She suppressed her emotions and asked in a tired voice, “Did something happen on the way?”

It was impossible for him to take so long to arrive. Even a snail would have reached, let alone a person driving a car.

Unexpectedly, her words changed in Xu Mu’s ears.

Seeing that the usual smile was gone from her tense face and she did not pounce on him to hug him, he was even more certain that she was angry.

“Something happened. I received a call from Aunt Rong. She asked me to pick up Song Yun from the Yintai Department Store. You know that our families are old friends, so it’s not good to embarrass her.”

Su Yunxiu’s heart sank to the bottom. She lowered her head and looked at her toes unhappily. “So you abandoned me and went to pick her up?”

Song Yun was obviously closer to her. He could have picked her up first before picked Song Yun up together, but Xu Mu chose Song Yun first. Su Yunxiu lowered her eyes and felt a lump in her throat. Disappointment and discomfort surfaced in her heart.

They were childhood sweethearts, and their family backgrounds were evenly matched. This relationship was like a chasm in the middle. In addition, Xu Mu’s mother had always wanted to matchmake them. Since he was her boyfriend, it would be a lie to say that Su Yunxiu didn’t care at all.

Xu Mu knew that he was in the wrong. He rubbed her head and comforted her gently. “Alright! Don’t be angry. I’ve been busy recently and haven’t been able to accompany you properly. When my work is almost over, I’ll pick a day when you and I are free. I’ll accompany you wherever you want to go.”

Su Yunxiu raised her head and looked at him seriously. There was anticipation in her eyes, but she could not be sure if what he said was true. It was the same a few times before. He was called away halfway through the date.

She was just a young lady who would look forward to romantic dates. She could understand that Xu Mu was busy with work, but it did not mean that she did not feel disappointed.

Xu Mu seemed to have recalled that he had made such a solemn promise before, not to mention the disappointing outcomes. He touched his nose to hide his embarrassment.

“You don’t believe me? Why don’t I take an oath?”

Su Yunxiu quickly shook his head. “No, I don’t need you to swear.”

There was a faint sense of anticipation in her heart.

There were some things that could only be proven if they were done. Xu Mu knew this very well.

He took her bag and opened the umbrella. He put his arm around her shoulders. “Let’s go.”

Su Yunxiu followed her and opened the passenger door. Song Yun greeted her with a smile.

Su Yunxiu nodded indifferently in response.

Perhaps it was because Xu Mu was around, Song Yun restrained herself today. She revealed a harmless expression and chatted with her about bags and jewelry. The brands she talked about were all famous brands.

Her words seemed to be hinting to her that the gap between her and Xu Mu in this relationship was too big. She was not worthy of Xu Mu.

Su Yunxiu was already very tired and forced herself to hold on. Xu Mu was still beside her, so she had to respond to this young lady from time to time. They had been friends since they were young, so she did not want to put Xu Mu in a difficult position.

Song Yun said that she was tired, and was a little dissatisfied when she didn’t get any extra reaction from Su Yunxiu.

Why was this person as boring as a block of wood?

Sizing her up, Song Yun thought to herself that Su Yunxiu’s clothes were all from cheap brands although they were beautiful. How could they compare to hers? She secretly snorted that even if Cinderella wanted to become a white swan, she had to see if she was worthy.

Song Yun knew how Xu Mu and Su Yunxiu got together from her good friends in the circle. That was why she was so calm and indifferent. In the end, she would be the only one by Xu Mu’s side. Why should she care about this thorn in the flesh?

She was trying to figure it out in her heart, but she didn’t know that it wasn’t that Su Yunxiu didn’t react, but that she couldn’t be bothered with her.

Su Yunxiu did not forget what Song Yun said to her when they were alone previously. The reason why she could talk to her calmly now was that Xu Mu was around.

Su Yunxiu didn’t have much energy to deal with someone like Song Yun who had the temper of a little princess. The more such a person was like this, the more one should ignore her. Otherwise, the other party would be dancing on her head.
