  Yu Lili stuck her tongue out and said, “You’re being superstitious!”


  “Aren’t you, as well? You’re even talking about revenge! If ghosts really existed, that bastard Shen Luo’an would have been dead long ago! It’d be a long time before they even came for you.” Ye Qianqian did not mince her words as she continued. “Since you know that it’s all superstition, it’s time to rein in your imagination. Stop scaring yourself!”


  Yu Lili was at a loss of words.

  The food was finally served, and Yu Lili and Ye Qianqian chatted while they ate. There was rarely a fixed topic when it came to women’s chitchats, and the two women enjoyed each other’s company as the conversation moved from one topic to another. They spoke until it was time for dinner, and Ou Ming called.

  Ou Ming’s name in Yu Lili’s phone had been changed by Ou Ming without Yu Lili’s knowledge. What was once “Ou Ming” had been changed to a simple word that encompassed a ton of meaning—”Hubby.”


  Yu Lili cheered up considerably when she saw that word and answered the call, “Hello?”


  “Where are you? I’ll come pick you up.” Ou Ming was driving.

  The weather had become better and warmer recently. The afterglow of the setting sun stretched on for miles before landing on the car, passing through the windows and bathing him in a comfortable warmth.

  “I’m with Qianqian at the café near the office,” Yu Lili answered with a laugh.

  As Ye Qianqian sat in her seat and saw Yu Lili’s face awash with happiness, she felt a sense of envy, tinged with a hint of grief. She didn’t know much about the long story and complications that Yu Lili had with this man all these years, but in the amount of time that she had spent with her, she could clearly sense her love for him.

  For a man like Ou Ming to chase Yu Lili all the way to Fujian despite being blind, it was obvious that he was true to her, too.

  Sigh……This has to be love!

  Ye Qianqian started counting with her fingers. Now that she thought about it, she was almost 26 years old. How sorrowful it was that she was still single after all these years.

  She didn’t know what Yu Lili and Ou Ming were talking about, but Yu Lili’s smile grew wider by the moment before she burst out laughing. The envy in Ye Qianqian intensified as she remarked, “Lili, can you please control yourself in front of this poor singleton?”


  Yu Lili giggled once again without any care and said, “Hold on a moment.” It was clear that the words were intended for the person over the phone. Immediately after, Yu Lili looked at Ye Qianqian and asked, “My man is taking me out for a dinner together with his buddies. Would you like to go? Ou Ming has a bro called Luo Zhan. He’s pretty good looking and is of a pleasant character. Why don’t you come along?”


  “What? I don’t think that’s appropriate.” Ye Qianqian found that too sudden. “It’s a dinner between your husband and his buddies. Why would I go? I’m not that desperate for a man!”


  Ou Ming heard Yu Lili’s words over the phone and couldn’t resist teasing her, “You’re intending to play matchmaker and market Luo Zhan out?”


  “Luo Zhan is a pretty good catch! He’s finally broken up with his girlfriend. Of course, I have to take advantage of this opportunity and make my move!” Yu Lili sounded very pleased with herself. She turned her attention back to persuading Ye Qianqian as she said, “I’m serious! Let’s go together. They’re a group of men, and I’m alone as a woman. It’ll be so boring for me.”


  “Second Brother’s wife is going, too,” Ou Ming reminded her good-naturedly.

  Yu Lili pretended that she hadn’t heard a thing and continued cajoling Ye Qianqian. “Just treat it as you’re keeping me company!”


  Ye Qianqian hadn’t had any intention of going. When she saw Yu Lili’s expression, she looked at the time and commented, “It’s already past six.”
