"Yichen and you were not married yet, so he could freely choose a better partner. We are in love, and I am not a third party."Yang Qianqian didn't seem flustered by her remarks as she defended herself calmly."Yes, you are in love with each other. I shall bless you. Please go away."Song Anyi felt super frustrated. She had already been super flustered due to the matters concerning a particular man. And now having met them, she felt that her heart was like a messy wool ball.She merely wanted them to get out of her way so she could leave.Meanwhile, Tang Ruochu and Ying Xiaoxiao were busy shopping, unaware that they had been apart from Song Anyi."Anyi, how do you feel about that bed?""Anyi, how do you feel about that dining table?""Anyi..."Tang Ruochu asked many questions but she didn't get any response. She was about to turn around and ask Song Anyi why she was staying silent when she realized that Song Anyi was not with them."Where is Anyi?" Tang Ruochu grabbed Ying Xi
Ying Xiaoxiao was like an eagle protecting Anyi under her wings, confronting Han Yichen with her fierce side.Han Yichen understood these two friends of Song Anyi.Ying Xiaoxiao, who came from a good family, was a hot-tempered girl. She was open about her love and hate, and certainly not one to provoke.Tang Ruochu was gentler. But after being taught a lesson by the men around her, he knew that she, too, was not one to be trifled with.So Han Yichen did not dare to be impetuous. He stared coldly at Song Anyi, full of scorn. "Song Anyi, you disgust me."Someone who claimed repeatedly that she would not break her chastity vow before marriage had slept with another man after their break-up.After saying that, he pulled Yang Qianqian to leave. But Ying Xiaoxiao would not let him go so easily. She dashed up to him. "You bastard, how dare you say you're disgusted with Anyi!"Han Yichen's face was grim. "Go ask her yourself."After that, he pushed her away and left with Yang Qianqian.
Ying Xiaoxiao did not understand why the two of them would think that the problem was so complex. Was it because of the Shen Family? Were they afraid that Anyi was not good enough for Shen Mofei?What a joke! This was the modern era. Families being well-matched in social status were a thing of the past!Now, love reigned over all. Everything else was like fleeting clouds!"It's just that..."Tang Ruochu explained the real situation, slowly and methodically. Ying Xiaoxiao listened to her quietly, her face getting grimmer the more she listened. But Song Anyi herself was very calm, totally unruffled on the surface."F**k!" The moment she finished hearing Tang Ruochu speak, Ying Xiaoxiao slapped the table and shot up. "I must still look for Shen Mofei and settle the score with him!""Xiaoxiao, must you be so impetuous?" Tang Ruochu knitted her brows, showing her displeasure in her tone.Ying Xiaoxiao was so infuriated that she started to laugh. "Chuchu, Anyi has been so badly bullie
Tang Ruochu returned home, and after exchanging a few casual words with Auntie Wu, she sprinted up the stairs.She halted as she passed by the study, opening the door gently and poking her head in. She found Shijin sitting on the desk in the study. Orange light shone on his black hair, scintillating lightly. His features looked even more handsome and profound under the light.She could not help being mesmerized.Lu Shijin noticed that someone was watching him. The scorching eyes were so fiery that no one could look into them.Opening his eyelids slightly, a small charming face appeared in his sight. His thin lips began to curl slowly upward.Putting down the book in his hands, he raised his head, watching her calmly and unhurriedly. He called out to her softly, "Chuchu."When Tang Ruochu heard his voice, she recovered. Staring into his attentive eyes, she immediately realized what she had been doing.She had been bewitched by lust. She had lost herself in a trance staring at him
"Good grief!" His voice was so sexy that she wanted to pounce on him. But her feminine modesty could only allow the thought and not the action.After a long time, Lu Shijin opened his mouth and asked, "What happened to Anyi today?"The moment he mentioned her bosom friend, Tang Ruochu drove all the enchanting thoughts from her mind and sighed. "It's all Mofei's fault."Lu Shijin raised his slender brows slightly. "What did he do?""Since he's unable to provide Anyi with what she wants, he ought to have left her alone. Now Anyi has fallen for him. In order to draw a line between them, she could only steel herself and break up with him."As she spoke, Tang Ruochu felt sorrow in her heart. "Anyi has just been hurt by that bastard, Han Yichen. Now, she has to undergo more suffering. I really feel sorry for her."When she thought of Anyi's dejected and lonely expression, her heart could not help tangling into a ball, aching badly."I'm sorry." Lu Shijin tightened his embrace around h
Tang Ruochu rested at home for a few days. She was either watching pointless idol dramas, or learning how to cook from Auntie Wu. The days passed, monotonous and somewhat dull.On this day, Auntie Wu said that she would teach her how to cook Shijin's favorite dish— sweet and sour pork ribs.She immediately scampered into the kitchen with her notebook.In the kitchen, Auntie Wu was rinsing pork ribs. The moment she entered, she smiled and teased her. "Young Madam, why did you run here so quickly the moment I said this is Young Master's favorite dish?"Tang Ruochu knew that she was teasing her, but she was not mad. She looked as though it was only right and natural. "They say that in order to capture a man's heart, one must start from his stomach. Once I learn how to make Shijin's favorite dishes, I'm sure he will never leave me."When she said this, an image could not help surfacing in her mind— Shijin tearfully begging her to make sweet and sour pork ribs for him. He was crying so
At this time, Tang Ruochu called out to her. "Auntie Wu, did you see someone in me just now?"Auntie Wu's feet halted and the atmosphere lapsed momentarily into silence.After some time, Auntie Wu said quietly without turning her head, "No. Young Madam has thought too much."Tang Ruochu watched her hurry into the kitchen, her eyes seemingly pondering something.In the evening, Tang Ruochu warmed up the sweet and sour pork ribs that Auntie Wu taught her how to make in the microwave, then put the dish on the dining table.Lu Shijin saw the dish and knitted his brows almost imperceptibly."Was this made by Auntie Wu?" He asked."No." Tang Ruochu pulled out a chair and sat opposite him. She put her folded hands on the edge of the table and smiled radiantly at him. "Auntie Wu taught me how to make it. She says it's your favorite dish."His eyes glittered and his lips curled into a smile. "Is it edible?""Of course it's edible! Do you dislike my cooking that much?" Tang Ruochu glare
"Some flavors will not taste the same, no matter how similar or delicious it is, if not made by the same person. It will taste insipid."This was the explanation Shijin gave her to dispel her doubt."But it's different when it's made by you."At the same time, he also admitted that she was special.Because he loved her, he also loved everything about her.Recently, rumors were circulating everywhere about the Tang Group. Their employees were discussing who the new chairperson of the Tang Group would be.Some said that Gu Ruoruo would most likely be the chairperson, since she held the most shares.Others claimed that Tang Ruochu was secretly buying up shares from other shareholders, trying to make a big comeback at the shareholders' meeting.But most employees still preferred Tang Ruochu to be the Tang Family's heir.The moment the former chairman was admitted to the hospital because of a stroke, his wife and Gu Ruoruo had openly intervened in the group's affairs. They were so
