As an independent woman, Su Yunxiu did not choose either of them. She stood up and limped forward on her own, her posture was full of arrogance.

Yu Wenci smiled and shook his head behind her. He knew that she wouldn’t accept it. He did this just to cheer her up.

He retracted his hand and thought that he shouldn’t be anxious. He had waited for so long. It didn’t matter if he waited for a while.

It was dark outside, and the boundless thick ink was heavily smeared on the horizon. Su Yunxiu looked up, but there was not even a glimmer of stars.

Su Yunxiu didn’t expect to sit in the big shot’s car again. She suddenly thought of something and asked, “Wait, don’t you need to pick up your sister?”

Yu Wenci was stunned. “It’s fine. She’s already gone back. Perhaps she saw that I hadn’t gone to look for her for a long time, so she asked someone else to pick her up.”

Su Yunxiu felt that something was amiss, but she couldn’t put her finger on it. Shouldn’t he call and ask about his sister?

She thought that this was someone else’s family matter, so it was not appropriate for her to ask further. She might as well shut up and rest.

Yu Wenci was relieved. Fortunately, she didn’t continue to ask. Otherwise, he really didn’t know how to explain.

Just as the air was about to fall silent, Su Yunxiu suddenly said, “Mr. Yu, is this how you usually comfort girls? Just now, you seemed like someone I knew.”

“Who?”

“My dad.”

When her father was alive, he also liked to preach some big principles. When she was so tired from dancing that she could not breathe, her father would cheer her on and make her insist on what she liked. It was easy to give up on this path, but the hardest thing was to persevere.

Yu Wenci was speechless. He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

After returning to Lin Qingwan’s house, Su Yanxiu forced a smile and looked no different from before.

Lin Qingwan’s personality was sometimes too heartless, but it didn’t mean that she wasn’t observant. Seeing that Su Yunxiu was in a bad mood and Yu Wenci had sent her back, her first reaction was that Yu Wenci had taken advantage of her.

Her body was in such a sorry state, and her eyes were even a little swollen.

“Didn’t you go to celebrate a birthday? Why did you end up like this? Who bullied you?”

Without waiting for Su Yunxiu to answer, she continued to guess, “Is it Yu Wenci? Did he take advantage of you on the way? If that’s the case… Sister, you didn’t lose out.”

Su Yunxiu was puzzled

What the hell?

Brains were a good thing. However, it was obvious that Lin Qingwan did not have this at the moment.

She continued to explain, “He’s so handsome and is miles ahead of Xu Mu. I’d rather you be seduced by Yu Wenci.”

“Don’t think too much. After I settle this matter, I’ll tell you the whole story, okay?” Su Yunxiu’s face, as she smiled, was a little pale. “This has nothing to do with Yu Wenci.”

“Okay.” Lin Qingwan’s heart ached. In her memory, she had rarely been in such a sorry state. “Rest well. Everything will pass.”

“Yes.”

Su Yunxiu returned to her room and took a good shower to make himself feel better. When she came out, she sent him a message.

Su Yunxiu: [I’ll go back at around 9 tomorrow morning.]

Su Yunxiu didn’t care whether he would reply or not. She put down her phone and covered herself with the blanket, not caring if he replied.

It was too difficult to completely sever the love that had just bloomed. In her dreams, she would cry until her pillow was wet. In her dreams, she would return to the times of her youth.

It was almost 11 o’clock when Xu Mu’s birthday party ended. Most of the people were drunk, and only a few of them were sober. Xu Mu was helped out by Song Yun. After drinking a lot, his thoughts were slower. When he saw Song Yun coming over to help him, he did not refuse.

Song Yun secretly got someone to clean up the cake and gift on the ground at the door and put them in the trash can. Xu Mu had no idea that Su Yunxiu had actually been here.

This was exactly what Song Yun wanted. Su Yunxiu would never be by Xu Mu’s side again. Having achieved her goal, she was surprisingly happy.

If Su Yunxiu had been sensible yesterday, Song Yun wouldn’t have used this method. However, she didn’t have any self-awareness at all, so Song Yun could only resort to this drastic measure. After being in the dark for so long, she would find out the truth sooner or later.

It was better to suffer short-term pain than to suffer in the long term. Speaking of which, she was helping Su Yunxiu. If Xu Mu had not planted this cause back then, how could she have succeeded now?

Chu Feng was drunk and had a big tongue. “Yun, I’ll leave Brother Xu in your care.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely send Brother Xu Mu home safely.” She smiled understandingly. “Be careful on the way.”

“Okay.”

Song Yun sent him back to the apartment. When she saw that they were sleeping in separate rooms, she was overjoyed. After helping him up, she took out Xu Mu’s phone and unlocked it.

She was hoping for a fluke and wanted to see what Su Yunxiu would do, but she didn’t expect a surprise.

Moonlight shone through the window. Song Yun hid under the moonlight, and the smile on her face was a little scary.

After a long while, she put her phone back and covered him with the blanket before leaving the room.
