“Fu Yu, you…”
“Zhao Zhu, say anything more and I will terminate your contract right now.” Fu Yu stared ruthlessly. “Your public relations rep said I slept with Yan Changqing. If it weren’t for your father, I would’ve long settled scores with you. What you did was completely try to smear my company’s name. You f*cking used me as your stepping stone. Get out of here right now.”
He scolded her ferociously, as though he was about to beat her up at any moment. Longxin quickly pushed her out.
The moment Zhao Zhu stepped out, he heard the sound of things being smashed from inside.
She stomped her feet while feeling wronged and gave Xin Ziao a call, but no one picked up.
In Singapore, after dinner, Ruan Yang decided to go to the rooftop for a swim and tried to pull Changqing along for a long while but she lay motionless in bed.
“What’s wrong? Get up—didn’t you say that you wanted to swim here yesterday?” Ruan Yang pulled her.
“I didn’t bring my swimsuit.” Changqing looked up gloomily. “Besides, I’m so tired. I want to go shopping.”
“You’re tired and you still have the energy to shop?” Ruan Yang rolled her eyes. “You can buy a swimsuit downstairs.”
“I’m not going, not going.” Changqing yawned.
Ruan Yang stared at her for a while and suddenly lifted her shirt up. On her waist were numerous love bites. Changqing screamed as she pulled her shirt down while blushing, covering herself up tightly.
“Oh…” Ruan Yang lifted the corners of her mouth ambiguously. “This was the real reason why you don’t want to go; no wonder you covered yourself up so tightly today.”
“None of your business.” Changqing turned around angrily and didn’t dare to look at her.
It was all Song Chuchu’s fault. In the past, he would be careful not to leave so many marks; yesterday was the only exception. He practically chewed her up and down, and now, even her butt was full of love bites.
“You’re indeed passionate with Song Chuyi; you must’ve done several rounds last night before coming to Singapore today.” Ruan Yang climbed onto the bed and tugged on Changqing’s shirt on purpose. Changqing was embarrassed to let her see and covered her body as she rolled around in bed.
The two played around for a while but Ruan Yang gave up in the end. “Forget it. Let’s go shopping.”
Changqing clambered up quickly.
The next day, the two transferred to a villa in Sentosa. During the day, the two entertained themselves at the nearby attractions, and at night, they ate and drank, sleeping until they woke up naturally every day.
On the third morning, Changqing was sleeping groggily in bed when the doorbell rang downstairs.
“Ruan Yang, go open the door.” Changqing kicked the blanket but she kicked nothing.
She opened her eyes and realized Ruan Yang wasn’t around.
Could it be that Ruan Yang went out and forgot her card?
Changqing climbed out of bed, went downstairs with a lot of effort, opened the bedroom window and looked out of it. An unfamiliar man was standing outside the perimeter walls. He was tall and his hair was slightly brown. She had never seen him before but he did look a little like a foreigner and was quite stylish.
Changqing felt gloomy because this weird person came to disturb her sleep, but she still put on her bra and went downstairs to the courtyard. “Who are you? What’s the matter?”
Xin Ziao frowned as he looked at the woman standing in the courtyard. Her messy hair was tied up into a bun and her oversized, pink pyjamas made it hard to tell whether her figure was good or bad. Her face wasn’t bad but there was so much acne that one would be afraid to praise her.
He could sort of tell who she was. This woman was Song Chuyi’s current wife, Yan Changqing?
When did Song Chuyi’s standards drop so much?
“You’re not saying? Then forget it.” Changqing couldn’t stand that this person was judging her like he was high and mighty. She couldn’t stand him simply acting cool, even more so than Song Chuyi.
She turned to leave and Xin Ziao’s handsome face turned slightly green. “I’m looking for Ruan Yang.”
Changqing was astonished and turned back to look at the man before she carefully once again looked at him with a strange gaze. Metal-grey suit trousers with a dark shirt. He looked like a business elite. His brown hair was slightly wavy and he didn’t have a face like the current teen idols. He looked quite masculine and with another look at his watch, it wasn’t cheap at all. He shouldn’t be a fan of Ruan Yang’s. How would her fans know the specific location of her accommodations? “Who are you?”
“Ruan Yang never told you?” Xin Ziao was a little unhappy. Wasn’t she her best friend?
Changqing shook her head.
“I’m Ruan Yang’s boyfriend.” Xin Ziao’s face suddenly became a little unhappy.
“Oh, you’re that unreasonable, overbearing, imperious, and selfish beast of a boyfriend.” Changqing immediately wrinkled her nose and eyes together with annoyance and stared ruthlessly at him.
“What did you say?” This was the first time someone scolded him like that. Xin Ziao’s face sank immediately and he squinted his eyes. However. Changqing wasn’t afraid. She was already long accustomed to Song Chuchu’s ten-thousand-year long cold face. What was this face compared to that?
She snorted. “I have a very good memory. Before, I called Ruan Yang to say I was urgently looking for her for and what did you do? You hung up the phone and told me not to bother Ruan Yang and you didn’t even tell her about it after that. It was you, right?”
Xin Ziao’s eyebrows were tightly knitted. “So what if it was?”
Changqing took a breath in. “God, how can a man like you exist on this earth? Let me tell you—I definitely won’t allow Ruan Yang to be with a person like you. Ruan Yang told me that the two of you had already broken up. You must’ve come over to look for her with a thick skin, right?”
“That’s between the two of us,” Xin Ziao said hatefully. That vile woman actually said that they had broken up. He hadn’t agreed to it, so it didn’t count as a breakup.
Changqing snorted. “Ruan Yang is my good friend; her matters are mine. You were the one who went to the Maldives with Ruan Yang before, right?”
Xin Ziao pressed both his hands against the European-styled gate and couldn’t control his frustration.
Changqing simply disregarded his frustration and felt even angrier. “If you don’t deny it, then it’s you. I couldn’t tell that despite your prim and proper style of dress that you’d actually be more like scum. Say, Ruan Yang is so pretty—she’s simply the goddess of my heart, yet you still have the cheek to come here to look for her. Don’t you stare at me. Even if you stared at me, I wouldn’t let you and Ruan Yang reconcile. I’m someone who is extremely petty. Since you already offended me, I won’t put in a good word for you to Ruan Yang. There are so many men chasing Ruan Yang and they’re much more good-looking than you. Someone like you will never understand the importance of currying favor of the best friend of the woman you want to chase. You’ve already committed the grimmest mistake…”
Xin Ziao gritted his teeth. Other than his parents, it had been years since anyone talked to him like that. Not even Ruan Yang.
Why was this woman so talkative?
“Song Chuyi can actually stand a woman like you?” He spat the words out through his clenched teeth. Chuyi paused.
“You know Song Chuchu?” Changqing looked unhappy.
“Song Chuchu?” In Xin Ziao’s deep and immeasurable pupils surfaced a hint of rumination. Is this Song Chuyi crazy? He even came up with such a peculiar nickname. “Far more than that—we’re very close. Open the door quickly.”
Changqing was angry. “Song Chuchu actually knows someone like you? When I get back, I’ll tell him to stay far away from you in case you lead him astray. People say birds of a feather flock together. I warn you—you’d better leave our Chuchu alone.”
Xin Ziao’s heroic face convulsed. At this moment, the sound of jogging footsteps came from the adjacent pathway. Ruan Yang ran over, dressed in summer sporting attire. When she saw Xin Ziao, her pretty face collapsed.
Changqing quickly opened the door and rushed out in front of Ruan Yang like a hen protecting its chick. “Ruan Yang, you already broke up with him, right?”
“Yeah.” Ruan Yang wiped her perspiration with a towel. She looked disapprovingly at the terrible expression on Xin Ziao’s face and was slightly shocked. She had rarely seen him look so bad.
“Yangyang, cut it out.” Xin Ziao turned and walked into the villa.
Changqing was annoyed. This man was really thick-skinned. Nobody let him in and he just walked in like it was his own house.
She looked at Ruan Yang’s expression and she wasn’t unhappy, just a little frustrated.
“Let’s go in first.” Ruan Yang pulled her.
Changqing followed her in gloomily. Xin Ziao had already poured himself a cup of water and after he was done drinking, he sat on the couch after finding a very comfortable position.
Changqing was silent now. Earlier, Ruan Yang wasn’t around and she could act unrestrained. Now, she had to read the situation first.
However, it really felt satisfying to humiliate a person.
“What are you doing here?” Ruan Yang sat in front of him and frowned.
“Seeing you.” Xin Ziao looked at her deeply.
Ruan Yang felt her head aching. “Xin Ziao, I told you several times that I don’t want to be involved with you like this anymore. Can you please leave? It wasn’t easy for me to be able to go on vacation with my friend and I don’t want you to ruin it.”
Xin Ziao didn’t say anything and only looked at Changqing. “Can you leave for a while? I have some personal things to say to Ruan Yang.”
Changqing ignored him and only looked at Ruan Yang. When she saw her nodding silently at her, she went upstairs to her room unhappily.
Actually, it was mainly because she felt that this man left a poor impression on her and just from the fact that he made a woman take oral contraceptives, she could tell he was selfish. Was it so difficult to use a condom? Just like how she and Song Chuchu had no intentions of having a child right now and Song Chuchu also used condoms. Even when he didn’t use one, he wouldn’t finish inside.
This man was really terrible.
Changqing felt increasingly worried, so she gave Song Chuchu a call. “What are you doing?”
“Just got to the hospital, preparing to go to work,” Song Chuyi said lightly. “Weird. You’re up so early today.”
“I wanted to sleep in more but I was woken up by a beast,” Changqing said angrily.
“Beast?” Song Chuyi’s tone sank.
“This beast even said he’s very close to you,” Changqing said.
Song Chuyi thought about it for a while and could somewhat guess who it was. He remained silent.
Changqing continued to say, “It’s Ruan Yang’s ex-boyfriend, named Xin something. He looked like a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Are you really close to him?”
“Not really. We aren’t on very good terms,” Song Chuyi concluded in two lines.
Changqing was pleased. “Thank goodness.”
“Thank goodness for what?”
“He’s too beastly; I was scared you’d get infected.”
Song Chuyi put on his white coat and raised his eyebrows. “Am I not beastly enough?”
“What?”
“When we’re in bed.”
Changqing was corrupted immediately.
She felt shy and scolded him with her face flushed red, “You’re worse than a beast.”
