" Out of the frying pan, into the fire huh? No thanks, I will rather get kidnapped every night." 

  　　Yu Dong chuckled at Song Yixu's words as soon as she tittered there was a loud knock on the door and a server girl walked in with Yu Dong's bowl of noodles. Yu Xi might have gotten busy and sent the bus girl in her place, she understood the rush of the current hour so Yu Dong thanked the bus girl for the meal before taking the bowl and placing it in front of her, she could feel Song Yixu's eyes on her as she took the small bottle of spiritual water out of her sleeves and sprinkle some on her noodles. 

  　　But even though Song Yixu saw the bottle of spiritual water, she didn't say anything to Yu Dong and nor did she ask about what it was because as the boss of a restaurant herself she understood just how important it was to have a secret or two. She too had a few secrets in her business and wouldn't tell anyone no matter how close that person might be to her after all business and personal affairs should never be mixed together. 

  　　Thus, even if she was curious about the thing that Yu Dong poured in her bowl of noddles, she still didn't say anything about it and picked up the jar of wine on the table and swirled it around for blending all the flavours and poured it in the cup before picking it up and taking a sip. As the sweet and sharp liquid poured down her throat, Song Yixu's nerves relaxed a little and then she turned to Yu Dong who has eaten a few bites of her food and finally asked about what has been pressing on her mind, " Did you see Jiang Fenhua when you were coming to the restaurant?" 

  　　Her sudden question was a hard ball, something Yu Dong wanted to avoid. So, when she heard Song Yixu ask that one question that she wasn't ready to answer, Yu Dong choked and coughed out loud cussing but then she remembered who was sitting in front of her and stopped just in time but that only made things worse as her throat started to burn and made the cough even worse than before. 

  　　Song Yixu shook her head before pouring a cup of water and then giving it to Yu Dong, " You don't have to react like that, it's not like I asked you about your non-existent affairs." 

  　　If Yu Dong could speak she would have told Song Yixu that it was just as worse as asking her about her non-existent affairs. 

  　　" I … did… but why are you asking this Lady Song?" asked Yu Dong as she wiped her lips that were dripping with oil and soup. She was really surprised by the question, after all, she didn't expect Song Yixu who wasn't even there to see anything know about this, how did she find out about it? Don't tell her that everything was visible through the window of the VIP room if so then wouldn't she be on the hit list of the Marchioness? 

  　　Song Yixu seemed to have understood what was going on in her mind because she smiled softly and answered her unanswered question, " Sister Xi told me about it when I asked her why she didn't bring you to the VIP room where I was, she said something about you almost offending Master Jiang and an all you can eat free coupon." 

  　　Sister Xi!

  　　Though she understood why Yu Xi told Song Yixu about her small encounter with Jiang Fenhua, she wasn't at all grateful to her. Song Yixu was Qiao Sha's friend and she will naturally take the side of her friend, now how was she going to ask her about finding a shop in the front lane? 

  　　Yu Dong closed her eyes with a sour expression as she waited for Song Yixu to start lecturing her about her she 'betrayed their friendship' just as Qiao Sha was giving her one. But she waited for a long time and when Song Yixu didn't say anything, she opened her eyes and looked at the woman sitting in front of her, Song Yixu was calmly slurping her noddles without an ounce of anger or anything, in fact, she looked quite chill about everything. " You … you are not going to call me a traitor of friendship?" 

  　　Song Yixu paused and then she burst out laughing, " Why would I do that? It's not like you did anything wrong."

  　　Her response was refreshing but it also confused Yu Dong shouldn't Jiang Fenhua be the black sheep between Song Yixu and Qiao Sha, one to be never discussed? But from the looks of it, Song Yixu was pretty chill about it.

  　　Seeing Yu Dong's confused expression, Song Yixu sighed and sipped on her wine. " Master Jiang is not a bad guy, it's just that he is stuck between a rock and a hard surface, no matter how hard he tries, he cannot get away from that place."

  　　"In a hard spot? Wasn't he the one who——" climbed into Qiao Sha's bed was what Yu Dong wanted to ask but she stopped herself in time, why does it matter what were Jiang Fenhua's dynamics with Qiao Sha?

  　　" So, you have heard the rumours circling around him huh?" said Song Yan with a complicated expression. " I cannot tell you much about his story since it's his story to tell. But all I can say is that he is considered very different from the rumours that surround him, if you find a little more about him, you will realise he is just as much of a victim as Zhou Ming." She paused and then finished the rest of her noodles. " Anyway, I don't think you came here to listen about his story, so what brought you here?"
