The shop assistant saw her expression and knew that she had wasted a gift. She said helplessly, “Although you are heartless, Special Assistant Xu still comes every few days, even though our cake is expensive and unpalatable. Speaking of which, he came here today……”


  Xiao Yi fiddled with her long curly hair, her expression a little complicated.

  “Do as you see fit.”


  Xiao Yi scratched her bangs. For a moment, she really didn’t know what to do with Xu Che.

  In her phone, she still had Xu Che’s contact information. Looking at her suitcase, she took out her phone and dialed his number.

  “Hello? Who is this?” Xu Che didn’t have Xiao Yi’s new phone number.

  “This is Xiao Yi…… Do you want to come out for a drink? I’m back at the shop,” Xiao Yi asked directly on the phone.

  “I’ll be there in half an hour,” Xu Che answered in a deep voice after pausing for a few seconds on the other side of the line.

  It was only a short exchange of words before Xiao Yi hung up the phone. However, after ending the call, she saw her employee give her a thumbs up.

  “Store Manager, you’ve changed. You’ve become more confident and have the courage to try and communicate with others.”


  “Just because I called Xu Che?” Xiao Yi smiled faintly. This group of people had never seen her abroad.

  She was now used to kissing foreigners cheek to cheek, and she was also used to wearing fashionable and sexy clothes. She would flirt with handsome men when she met them, and she would look forward to romantic encounters when she walked on the bustling streets.

  Of course, she only thought about it in her heart and never acted on it.

  “You guys should get off work first. Bring out all the alcohol,” Xiao Yi said to the employees.

  “I wish you and Special Assistant Xu a happy night!” The employees winked at her flirtatiously.

  Xiao Yi recalled Xu Che’s appearance. She could only remember a rough outline, but she still remembered his figure clearly.

  A happy night?

  The employees made it sound as if something was about to happen.

  Xiao Yi smiled. After all the employees had left, she walked to the counter and began to mix drinks.

  This was a new interest that she had recently fallen in love with.

  Half an hour later, Xu Che arrived at Xiao Yi’s shop. The moment he opened the shop door, he no longer saw the chubby Xiao Yi from before. The woman standing in front of the counter now was sexy and had a unique style.

  She seemed to have been deeply influenced by foreign countries. From the way she dressed, she was more Westernized.

  Xiao Yi felt the burning gaze, so she raised her head and placed a cup of Long Island iced tea in front of Xu Che. “Sit down and try the taste.”


  “Now, you don’t make pastries anymore. Have you switched to mixing drinks?”


  Xiao Yi couldn’t deny it. Then, she poured herself a cup of brandy and walked out of the counter to sit opposite Xu Che.

  Xu Che took a sip from his glass and put it down. “You’ve changed a lot in the past six months.”


  “I have……” Xiao Yi nodded and smiled. “I’ve tried a lot of things, and I’ve seen a lot of things I’ve never seen before. You, on the other hand, haven’t changed much.”


  “Two days ago, Young Madam was asking me when I would bring a girl to see her autopsy again. Are you interested?”


  Since they had met again, Xu Che did not plan to beat around the bush.

  Half a year ago, he did not ask her to stay. Now, he did not plan to miss out on another opportunity.

  Xiao Yi shook her wine glass and looked at Xu Che through it. “Sure.”


  “Do you know what this means?”


  Xiao Yi put down her wine glass and raised her arm to look at Xu Che. Then, she hooked her arm around Xu Che’s chin and teased, “I want to fall in love too.”


  “Then why don’t you come to my place tonight?” Xu Che asked as he looked at her luggage in the corner.

  “Sure.”


  He didn’t expect that this time, Xiao Yi would so directly nod and say yes.

  She seemed to have completely changed into a different person. She had become proactive and confident.

  She also seemed to have started to know how to enjoy life and everything in front of her.

  Her shop assistant was right. Xu Che was indeed a rare man. Since she had already started over, why couldn’t she summon up her courage and take the initiative to redeem this man?

  After leaving for half a year, she wasn’t sure if Xu Che would wait for her.

  However, when she returned to the shop and heard the news about Xu Che from the staff, she knew that Xu Che was still willing to be with her, and there was no new lover.

  After the two of them had a drink in the shop, Xu Che brought Xiao Yi back to his place.

  Back then, Xiao Yi had rejected that key. Now, she felt that it was a pity.

  “You’re able to be so rich as an assistant?”


  “I also made some investments.” Xu Che placed her luggage next to the sofa in the living room and asked her, “Do you want to sleep on the second or third floor?”


  “What’s the difference?” Xiao Yi turned around and asked.

  “The second floor is my bedroom, and the third floor is the guest room.” Xu Che leaned against the sofa and answered honestly.

  After Xiao Yi heard this, she didn’t answer immediately. Instead, she asked Xu Che, “Can I use the pool?”


  “Of course.”


  After Xiao Yi heard this, she immediately took off her high heels and jumped into the pool.

  Then, Xu Che saw a mermaid swimming.

  A moment later, Xiao Yi stood by the side of the pool. Facing the sparkling water, she hooked her finger at Xu Che.

  Xu Che didn’t even take off his shirt. He jumped into the water and swam to Xiao Yi’s side. “You’ve become bad.”


  Xiao Yi took advantage of the situation and hooked her arm around Xu Che’s waist. Her heart was pounding. “I want to sleep in your room. I want to enjoy it. It’s a love between adults.”


  Xu Che hugged her waist and pulled her out of the water. “Were you so bold to others overseas?”


  “Of course not. Because there is no Xu Che abroad, and not everyone can be Xu Che.”


  After hearing this, Xu Che did not hesitate. He led her into the bedroom. “Don’t regret it.”


  Xiao Yi hooked her arm around Xu Che’s neck and smiled seductively. Of course, she would not hesitate. After experiencing the world for half a year, she had been deeply influenced by the thoughts of women abroad, becoming confident and independent.

  As a woman, why couldn’t she enjoy the love of a man?

  Especially when she was crossing the canyon of South Africa alone, skiing in Empress Town, and crossing the Alps. She really wanted to have a partner by her side, and to have a strong relationship that wouldn’t break.

  Soon, the two of them lay wet on the bed. It wasn’t until Xu Che pressed on her that everything felt real to Xiao Yi.

  “Be gentle. I’m afraid of pain.”


  “If you know how to be afraid, why did you seduce me?” Xu Che pressed himself against her body and asked in amusement.

  “Can’t I? Can’t I be like a foreign woman and enjoy love freely? I’m not the conservative me I used to be.”


  With that, Xiao Yi took the initiative to slip off her shoulder strap and winked at Xu Che.

  “Damn it……”


  With just one move from Xiao Yi, Xu Che realized that he had a reaction. It was a strong kind of possessiveness.
