Zhou Shuang didn’t want to think about it at all. If she did, even for one second, she wouldn’t have the courage to embark on her new life at all.

  Xuxu decided to rest her case. “Have you eaten?”


  “Not yet. I will, soon.” Zhou Shuang pursed her lips and glanced at the kitchen.

  If Xuxu didn’t ask, dinner would have slipped her mind. Now that she had mentioned it, she felt hungry.

  “What are you eating? You didn’t cook right?”


  “Remember to order food.”


  “I’m really worried that you would starve to death if you stay alone by yourself.” Xuxu continued, “I’ll go over tomorrow and accompany you for a few nights.”


  Zhou Shuang chuckled. “Don’t worry, I’m not that dumb. If you stay with me, I reckon that Yan Rusheng would go crazy after one night. Forget it. I’m really fearful of his vicious tongue.”


  She was really glad and relieved that she still had a true friend like Xuxu.

  She was all alone in this city. Xuxu was all that she had, and her gesture had touched her heart.

  Xuxu grinned and said, “Go order food now. I’ll come over after work tomorrow.”


  “Okay.” Suddenly, a thought struck her. “You and Yan Rusheng are really shameless and disgusting!” said Zhou Shuang with contempt.

  She pictured them at a balcony and a rooftop—they were really too bold!

  “What did we……” Xuxu was cut across by Zhou Shuang hanging up on the other line.

  She furrowed her eyebrows and muttered, “This fellow merely said that without a reason. Tch.”


  Yan Rusheng came out of the office and he walked towards her. He narrowed a suspicious gaze at her. “What’s wrong?”


  “Zhou Shuang suddenly said that we are really shameless and disgusting. Then she hung up.” Xuxu raised her head and peered at Yan Rusheng. “What have you done recently?” questioned Xuxu in a stern voice.

  Why would Zhou Shuang throw such remarks if Yan Rusheng didn’t do or say something recently?

  “Even if I did something, there is no way I would do anything to her,” quipped Yan Rusheng. He sounded full of scorn.

  It dumbfounded Xuxu.

  She didn’t pay attention to him anymore as she began to mull over Zhou Shuang’s words.

  She felt that she was a really reserved woman. At public appearances or at work, she would express her disapproval if Yan Rusheng did anything inappropriate. If Zhou Shuang said that Yan Rusheng was shameless and disgusting, she would raise both hands in agreement.

  But Zhou Shuang had included her!

  How could someone use this to describe her? She couldn’t accept it.

  She was so upright and innocent.

  “Let’s go.” Yan Rusheng wound his arm around Xuxu.

  Xuxu pushed him away. “Don’t hug me.”


  “What’s wrong?” asked Yan Rusheng.

  Xuxu pointed to his gorgeous face and issued a stern warning. “Yan Rusheng, I’m warning you. In the future, act appropriately in public.”


  Young Master Yan was disgruntled. “Why do you have to be so uptight just because of that hooligan?”


  That damned hooligan. He was just beginning to have a better impression of her.

  The next time he saw her, he would question how he and his wife had disgusted her.

  Xuxu glared at him and she looked livid. “It’s all because of you! You have tainted my reputation and image.”


  Yan Rusheng grinned and said, “Third Madam Yan is the image you have. Just like last night……”


  Xuxu covered his mouth with her hand. “Yan Rusheng! I’m warning you, don’t you dare talk about it again.”


  Yan Rusheng feigned innocence. “Yesterday, I spent a few hundred thousand yuan because of your drunken words.”
