Young Master Lu's Lovely New Bride

“Broke up?”

Lin Zhixia repeated the word with a look of disbelief in her eyes.

“Yes,” Xiao Yunyun said indifferently, “we broke up amicably.”

Lin Zhixia took a long time to react, finally saying, “May I ask why?”

“I can only say that we were originally not serious.” Xiao Yunyun briefly explained the relationship between her and Qin Han, and then shifted the topic back to Shen Yuechuan and Lin Zhixia. “How about you and Shen Yuechuan? Why are you together?”

“The reason why the two of us are together is, of course, that we like each other,” Lin Zhixia answered with a gentle and beautiful smile. “I like him, and he likes me, so we are together.”

“Well, that sounds quite reasonable.”

Xiao Yunyun “inadvertently” asked, “How did you get to know Shen Yuechuan? I’ve always been very curious about it.”

Compared with Lin Zhixia’s tact, Xiao Yunyun was more direct in asking questions, as if she had a reason to gossip.

Lin Zhixia remembered Shen Yuechuan’s warning.

“At ordinary times, you can make up what happened between us. I will play along with you. You can even tell Yunyun that I want to get engaged to you.”

“We met at a party held by a friend.” Lin Zhixia smiled as if she was recalling the happiest thing in her life. “I flipped when I first saw Yuechuan. We had common friends who later told me that Yuechuan had a good impression of me. With the help of friends, we exchanged contact information, drank coffee together after work, and started dating just like that.”

Xiao Yunyun focused most of her energy on the road ahead. She did not notice Lin Zhixia’s subtle actions, nor did she doubt Lin Zhixia’s words. She nodded and said, “Tell the truth, what kind of person do you think Shen Yuechuan is?”

“He…” Lin Zhixia’s beautiful eyes were filled with an intoxicating tenderness. “He is very gentlemanly and very considerate. He treats others politely, but he knows his bottom line very well. The most important thing is that he has a very charming aura. To put it bluntly, he is a man with his own halo, who will draw attention wherever he goes.”

Xiao Yunyun couldn’t help sighing. “Oh, no.”

Lin Zhixia was confused and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Do you want to know my impression of Shen Yuechuan?”

Xiao Yunyun’s mysterious look and faint smile had completely aroused Lin Zhixia’s curiosity.

Lin Zhixia nodded hard and said, “Of course. Just tell me.”

“As far as I know, Shen Yuechuan is very domineering and sharp-tongued, and he has never been reasonable. He only pretends to be gentle and polite to outsiders in the business field. The real him is even more annoying than a bully. However, I can’t deny that he has a very strong aura.”

“…”

Lin Zhixia had not expected Xiao Yunyun to be so direct, and she did not know what to say for a moment.

“Did I scare you?” Xiao Yunyun apologized. “I’m sorry. But if you keep in touch with Shen Yuechuan, you will find that I am right.”

“Yunyun.” Lin Zhixia’s smile gradually became a bit stiff. “Do you mean that I haven’t had deep contact with Yuechuan yet and I don’t know him?”

Xiao Yunyun tilted her head and glanced at Lin Zhixia.

She did say that on purpose, but she had to admit that Lin Zhixia had really been raised well.

Lin Zhixia was not angry at all and still had a gentle look, but it was not difficult to tell that she was hurt.

Xiao Yunyun suddenly had a feeling that she deeply hurt Lin Zhixia, but the latter was still treating her gently.

Ugh, why was there a sudden sense of guilt?

Before Xiao Yunyun could figure out how she felt, she apologized to Lin Zhixia. “Zhixia, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it. I…”

Halfway through the sentence, Xiao Yunyun suddenly became speechless.

She had done it on purpose, but now she was pretending to have done it unintentionally. She couldn’t go on with the explanation…

As it turned out, Lin Zhixia was a very easy-going person.

Lin Zhixia burst out laughing and said with a lovely smile, “I know you didn’t mean it. I was just making a joke with you. Don’t be nervous.”

Xiao Yunyun breathed a sigh of relief, but she felt even guiltier in her heart. “Zhixia, I’m really sorry.”

Lin Zhixia could feel Xiao Yunyun’s sincerity, and her smile became more obvious. She repeated, “It’s really okay! Yunyun, you’re so cute.”

“…”

Xiao Yunyun did not know why Lin Zhixia was praising her for her cuteness.

But she knew that she couldn’t be cruel to Lin Zhixia anymore.

Bullying such a gentle and delicate girl, she would suspect that she was crazy. She’d better focus on dealing with Shen Yuechuan in the future.

Shen Yuechuan was so hateful that no matter how she insulted him, she would have no sense of guilt.

After taking Lin Zhixia home, Xiao Yunyun thought for a while and located Shen Yuechuan’s apartment with the sat-nav.

At the same time, Shen Yuechuan returned to the apartment.

The apartment was quiet as usual, and there was no trace of Xiao Yunyun.

Shen Yuechuan realized that Xiao Yunyun might not come today either.

For some reason, he felt a sense of emptiness.

The apartment was filled with traces of Xiao Yunyun’s visit—

There were a few more sets of clothes in the cloakroom, the fragrance of her hair lingering on the pillow in the bedroom, and her toiletries placed in the bathroom…

She hadn’t been there for a few days, but there were traces of her everywhere in the apartment.

Shen Yuechuan sat on the sofa and felt that someone would start shouting at him in the next second. “Shen Yuechuan, you jerk!”

Thinking of this, Shen Yuechuan couldn’t help smiling.

He treated Xiao Yunyun that way. In Xiao Yunyun’s heart, he was already a complete jerk, wasn’t he?

Why would Xiao Yunyun have a passion for a jerk like him and be blind to everything else?

Before Shen Yuechuan could come up with an answer, he heard the familiar sound of the door opening by the card being tapped.

Narrowing his eyes, Shen Yuechuan stood up and saw Xiao Yunyun coming in.

Xiao Yunyun was even more surprised than Shen Yuechuan. While changing her shoes, she asked, “Why are you back so early today?”

Shen Yuechuan didn’t answer her question, and just asked in a cold voice, “Why are you here again?”

“After being with Lin Zhixia, you don’t have a good memory.” Xiao Yunyun repeated what she had said. “I told you that I would stay at your home!”

“Xiao Yunyun…”

Before Shen Yuechuan could finish his words, Xiao Yunyun interrupted him directly. “You repeated it so many times. I would have listened to you if I was willing. So, Shen Yuechuan, don’t waste your effort.”

Shen Yuechuan paused for a long while before asking, “Have you broken up with Qin Han?”

As Shen Yuechuan had done, Xiao Yunyun threw the question back. “Did Lin Zhixia tell you that so quickly?”

“She also told me that you think I am a domineering and unreasonable person, and she asked if I bullied you,” Shen Yuechuan sneered. “Since I am so bad, why do you still like me?”

“Just take it as my unique taste.” Xiao Yunyun calmly tilted her head. “Do you have any opinion?”

“…”

Shen Yuechuan not only had no opinion, he had nothing to say.

Xiao Yunyun threw her bag onto the bed in the room and was surprised to find that the quilt was folded differently from how she had left it yesterday morning.

She looked at Shen Yuechuan doubtfully. “Don’t hesitate. Answer me quickly. Did you come back last night?”

Shen Yuechuan said with a sneer, “Do you think it’s possible?”

“I saw you and Lin Zhixia enter the hotel with my own eyes. By rights, it is impossible for you to have come back.” Xiao Yunyun pointed to the quilt in the bedroom. “But, what’s going on?”

Something flashed through Shen Yuechuan’s eyes quietly.

When he had gotten up that morning, he had made the bed. Xiao Yunyun’s method of folding the quilt was different to his. She did not miss this subtle detail.

“The housekeeper came here today,” Shen Yuechuan said, “she knew that I liked to fold up the quilt like this, so she helped me make the bed again. What’s wrong? Do you have any other suggestions?”

“Well.” Xiao Yunyun stared at Shen Yuechuan with burning eyes. “Did you really not come back last night?”

Shen Yuechuan said in an impatient tone, “Do you want to check my entrance and exit record in the hotel?”

Xiao Yunyun completely dispelled her doubts and said disappointedly, “No, I know you can’t control yourself.”

“Can’t control myself?”

Shen Yuechuan was both annoyed and amused. “Do you know what you’re saying to me?”

“I know.” Xiao Yunyun blinked her eyes, and her clever, bright appearance became particularly attractive. “Shen Yuechuan, do you really like Lin Zhixia? If you don’t like her, will you do… that kind of thing to her just because she is a very beautiful woman?”

“I am your brother,” Shen Yuechuan emphasized. “Do you think it’s suitable for me to discuss this kind of thing with you?”

“As long as I want you to, it is. Rules are set by people. Don’t be so rigid.” Xiao Yunyun poked Shen Yuechuan. “You haven’t answered my question.”

“For men, it doesn’t matter whether you like a woman or not. It’s enough as long as she is attractive in some ways.” Shen Yuechuan looked at Xiao Yunyun. “Are you satisfied with this answer?”

He thought that this answer would hurt Xiao Yunyun, or at least disappoint her.

However, Xiao Yunyun’s thoughts had gone astray again.

As if she suddenly realized something, she jumped over and grabbed Shen Yuechuan’s hand. “Oh, you admitted that you don’t like Lin Zhixia, right?”

“…”

If Shen Yuechuan had not dealt with so many tough opponents, he would probably have collapsed.

After Su Jian’an and Luo Xiaoxi, he had just witnessed the birth of the third most weird brain in the world.

Seeing that Shen Yuechuan was not speaking, Xiao Yunyun became more excited, and firmly announced, “I must have guessed it right!”

“Xiao Yunyun, they are two different things.” Shen Yuechuan mercilessly poured a bucket of ice water on Xiao Yunyun. “Don’t think you are smart.”

“Then you answer my question,” Xiao Yunyun then stubbornly asked, “how did you get to know Lin Zhixia? How did you establish your relationship?”

She had already heard the answer from Lin Zhixia. Most importantly, Lin Zhixia’s answer was so beautiful that it made people yearn for it.

If Shen Yuechuan’s answer was different, she could prove that they were not a real couple at all.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yunyun got slightly excited…
