"Mr. Xiao!"
Yun Shi Yu chased out of the private room, "Did you drive here? I can have the restaurant's car take you both."
"No need, it's very convenient to get a taxi around here." Xiao Ming said without looking back.
Yun Shi Yu bit her lip and quickened her pace to catch up.
"Then let me walk you out."
Once inside the elevator, Yun Shi Yu began to cozy up to Jiang Xue, learning that she was a designer. She mentioned that she had just bought a new house that was yet to be decorated and hoped to hear some professional advice.
After all, being a potential client with money and power, Jiang Xue naturally wouldn't refuse, and the two of them happily exchanged contact information.
When they reached the ground floor, Xiao Ming and Jiang Xue left in a taxi, and Yun Shi Yu immediately said to Shen Siyi, "Help me pick out a house in the next two days, the bigger, the better."
Shen Siyi was stunned before he realized, "Really? Just to have that Jiang Xue design the decoration, you're going to buy a house?"
"Yes." Yun Shi Yu said very seriously, "This is the best way for me to maintain contact with Xiao Ming and even become closer friends with him."
Shen Siyi immediately became anxious, "What do you mean? Don't tell me you've fallen for that guy and are planning on becoming the other woman."
"What are you thinking?" Yun Shi Yu couldn't help but laugh cryingly, "I just want to be friends with Xiao Ming.
This guy is too proud; I must put aside the arrogance that comes with my family background and interact with him as an equal."
"You're joking! What makes that guy worthy of such regard from you?"
"I can't really explain it, but if you happen to meet a girl named Mengmeng, remember to tell me."
Yun Shi Yu walked back to the building, leaving Shen Siyi alone, confused as if he were a monk who couldn't touch his own head.
In fact, it wasn't that she couldn't explain, but that she didn't want to.
Because the composed and excellent facade was merely a mask she had to wear as the Yun Family's young lady; deep inside, she had an unusual obsession with danger and excitement.
This lady, who appeared ethereal and elegant during the day, would put on a helmet and become a knight at night, speeding along the empty roads.
And her favorite pastime was the underground car racing that involved dancing with the Grim Reaper.
This was a secret known only to those closest to her.
An hour or so earlier, she had just received a message from within the circle that there would be a mountain road race after tomorrow, in the middle of the night.
It was understandable how shocked she was when Xiao Ming had said, "Don't overtake on the inside the day after tomorrow."
"How did you… come to know Miss Yun?"
Silent the entire way, when they got back to the neighborhood and were going upstairs, Jiang Xue finally couldn't resist asking.
"What, you think we have something going on?" Xiao Ming asked teasingly.
"I wish!" Jiang Xue rolled her eyes at him, "She's obviously from a rich and noble family, beautiful and of exceptional temperament. Ordinary talents probably have to line up for her to choose from, what do you have?"
"I have a treasure that no other man in the world has."
"What?"
"You!"
Jiang Xue's heart skipped a beat, a long-lost strange feeling washing over her, uncertain if it was comfort or discomfort.
Upon reaching the third floor, Xiao Ming took out the keys to open the door, and the first thing Jiang Xue saw when she entered the room was the roses in the vase, followed by a table full of dishes.
"Did… did you make all of this?"
"Yeah!"
Xiao Ming knelt to help her change her shoes, "But seafood is bad for the body when it's cold. Are you hungry? I'll cook you a bowl of lobster noodles."
Listening to her husband's gentle words and enjoying his attentive service, Jiang Xue suddenly wanted to cry.
Had the husband she once deeply loved and was obsessed with really come back?
First she was pregnant, then nearly violated, and now it seemed as if her husband had changed into a different person. Too many things had happened today, everything was so sudden, making her instinctively panic.
"I, I'm not hungry, and I'm tired too, I'd like to rest early."
She dropped her bag and hurried into the bedroom as if slowing down would make her get eaten by Xiao Ming.
Once she closed the bedroom door, Jiang Xue slowly calmed down and then began to worry whether her attitude had been too cold.
If her husband had truly reformed, would her treatment of him cause him to be sad or even angry?
He bought me flowers and prepared a full table of dishes, he must have wanted to apologize, but I didn't even give him a chance to speak, that's really too…
Wait a minute!
He only had one hundred yuan on him, nowhere near enough to buy all that seafood and roses.
Jiang Xue suddenly thought of something, pulled out the bottom drawer of the bedside table, flipped it over to look, and tears filled her eyes in extreme grief and sadness.
Only two strips of tape remained on the bottom of the drawer, the property deed she had hidden there was gone.
What change, what repentance from a prodigal son, it's all bullshit!
That bastard must have mortgaged the property deed. The flowers and seafood, the sweet words and tenderness, they were all just to appease me.
Jiang Xue, Jiang Xue, you've suffered for two whole years and yet you still hoped he would get better. You're so stupid to believe that, you deserve to be bullied!
Xiao Ming finished cleaning the dining table and kitchen, pondering whether to strike while the iron was hot and propose a "make-up after a fight" friendly match with Jiang Xue when the bedroom door suddenly opened.
Jiang Xue's eyes were red and swollen, and she was pulling a suitcase.
