  Yan Rusheng was speechless……

  He let go of Xuxu and turned to face Su Yue with a cold expression on his face. “You’re banned from going out with us in the future.”


  Su Yue shrugged. “I won’t tag along even if you invite me.”


  Uncle Ming will bring her out, so why should she follow them around and torture herself?

  Oh yeah! Uncle Ming took the earlier flight back. She should reach the capital city tomorrow night, just in time to go to his place.

  And surprise him!

  She made up her mind in seconds!

  Su Yue was still thinking of surprising Ming Ansheng when Yan Rusheng’s annoyed voice floated to her ears. “Lass, weren’t you the one saying the plane is taking off? Not going?”


  He held Xuxu’s hand and strode away.

  Xuxu turned towards the main hall and she said with a worried expression, “Ah Sheng, I’m worried about Zhou Shuang.”


  She was heavily pregnant and she dashed out in a huff……

  When she recalled Zhou Shuang’s tearful expression and her choked voice, she felt that she might not really hate Lu Yinan that much anymore.

  Zhou Shuang was a simple woman who was easily touched by words and gestures.

  It must be because of Zhou Shuang’s bad experience from her last relationship. She must have loved her ex-boyfriend very much.

  When he hurt her, who knew how long she had to take to recover.

  It must be hard for her to open her heart to another man again for the fear of love.

  And unfortunately, the man had to be the prideful and pampered Young Master Lu, who don’t yield easily, too.

  Xuxu was still fretting about Zhou Shuang when Su Yue suddenly quipped, “Third sister-in-law, I saw Lu Yinan leaving.”


  A tone of nonchalance.

  “Huh……?” Xuxu spun around towards Su Yue. “When?!”


  Why didn’t she see him?

  “When you and Third Brother were locked in a tight embrace, he left and went to the main hall,” said Su Yue in an airy voice.

  Xuxu was dumbfounded.

  This lass was really a wooden block. When will she ever get emotional or surprised by something or someone?

  She always remained unruffled and composed in any situation.

  “Let’s go.” Yan Rusheng gripped Xuxu’s hand and led her away.

  Su Yue followed behind……

  Zhou Shuang marched out of the main hall and a blast of icy wind attacked her.

  Her eyes were red and glistening with tears. She had no idea why she felt like crying at that moment.

  What she felt didn’t really have to do with Xuxu leaving.

  She raised her chin and took a deep breath.

  A familiar man’s voice sounded. “I’ll give you another chance. Are you going back for Chinese New Year?”


  He sounded as though he had used up all his determination.

  Zhou Shuang’s glistening eyes lit up for the voice had startled her. The man’s footsteps stopped beside her and she hastily wiped her tears.

  She raised her head, reverting to her usual self. She coldly quipped, “I thought you already gave me the final chance?”


  Lu Yinan answered, “I did. But I allow you to reject me three times.”


  Zhou Shuang pursed her lips. “On one condition. If you can invite Mr. Zhou as well.”


  She bent her head and abandoned all her hostility.

  And transformed into a demure and docile woman.

  Soon enough, the blast of icy wind didn’t seem so cold after all.

  Lu Yinan frowned. “Mr. Zhou is another old obstinate fellow, isn’t he?”
