"Yan Shu, I know you are the one who loves me the most in this world. Actually, I care about you a lot too. No one can compare to you!"

Um?

Xu Yanshu looked up in surprise and met the woman's sincere eyes. At that moment, his heart was deeply moved.

Really?

He never expected to hear Xie Huanyu say such a thing, and he felt as light as if he had won a huge lottery prize...

hehe!

Xie Huanyu suddenly chuckled, her pretty face instantly turning cold as she retorted with a sarcastic look, "Is this what you wanted to hear?"

It must be admitted that Xu Yanshu has some business acumen and is also good-looking, but unfortunately he is obsessed with romance.

She only cares about herself and has no sense of self. She hates men who lack ambition the most.

Xu Yanshu's heart, which was about to leap with joy, instantly plummeted to the bottom. He subconsciously opened his mouth, but no sound came out for a long time.

Xie Huanyu nodded arrogantly, her upturned red lips revealing a hint of smugness, "If you're willing to listen to these sweet words,"

"It's not that I can't satisfy you occasionally, but the condition is that you must completely obey my orders. Right now, you have to apologize to Ah Huai..."

"No need!" Xu Yanshu interrupted without further ado, anger burning fiercely in his chest, his brows furrowed with gloom. "I'm not that bored!"

In his resentment, he unconsciously flicked his tongue against his back teeth. The eldest daughter of the Xie family was really getting better and better at humiliating people!

He thought he had a clear understanding of reality, but for a moment just now he was almost misled...

Perhaps it's because he hasn't completely let go of this woman, so deep down he still longs for a response.

Xu Yanshu clenched his fist imperceptibly, secretly reminding himself to let go completely, otherwise he would continue to be controlled by Xie Huanyu.

The smile on her face vanished instantly. Xie Huanyu hesitated, her pretty face darkening as if she were about to stab someone.

It was rare for me to be willing to take the initiative to coax him, but I didn't expect this man to be so ungrateful. And this wasn't the first time he had humiliated me.

They really are born with a scoundrel's bone!

Xie Huanyu gave a cold laugh with an ambiguous meaning, and without saying anything more, simply stepped the accelerator to the floor.

Xu Yanshu noticed the woman's unpleasant expression out of the corner of his eye, but he didn't intend to pay it any mind.

Asking questions with preconceived answers is bound to lead to disappointment. Perhaps I shouldn't have asked that question at all, giving Xie Huanyu the opportunity to humiliate me for nothing.

Upon arriving at Haicheng Apartment, Xie Huanyu went upstairs without looking back.

Xu Yanshu did not follow immediately, but instead lit a cigarette to relieve the pent-up emotions in his heart.

Seeing things clearly isn't necessarily a bad thing; when it comes time for a divorce, there's nothing to hesitate about.

“My dad wants me to go on a blind date with the Song family’s daughter, but I don’t want to hurt you anymore, so I moved out in a fit of anger!”

Is this... a show of loyalty?

As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, Xu Yanshu heard these words, and his eyes twitched uncontrollably.

Lu Huai made headlines last month for having a scandal with a famous young model. It seems that Xie Huanyu stepped in to help him resolve the situation, and now he's suddenly establishing himself as a devoted lover.

Anyone with a modicum of common sense would never believe such nonsense.

"Ah Huai, I'm sorry for always making you suffer because of me," Xie Huanyu said gratefully, taking the suitcase from Lu Huai's hand and linking her other arm with his. "Then you can stay here with me for the time being!"

After a slight hesitation, Lu Huai nodded gently, then, as if only then noticing Xu Yanshu approaching, asked, "But, Mr. Xu, wouldn't you...?"

"This is my home. What right does he have to criticize me? I'm already being very lenient by not letting him get out!"

Xie Huanyu's expression immediately turned cold. She turned around and gave Xu Yanshu a cold look before speaking, and then opened the door with her fingerprint.

Lu Huai hesitated, then turned to look at Xu Yanshu.

"Mr. Xu, why don't you stay at a hotel?"

Where's your face?

Xu Yanshu wanted to ask, but he really didn't expect people to be so shameless.

Not wanting to waste his breath, he walked past Lu Huai expressionlessly and entered the apartment.

Lu Huai's face darkened for a moment, but quickly returned to normal. After entering the room, he looked at Xie Huanyu with an awkward expression.

"Huanyu, should I leave? Mr. Xu seems a little unhappy."

"Why do you care about him?" Xie Huanyu had just changed out of her pajamas and came out of the bedroom. Hearing this, she became impatient and turned to Xu Yanshu. "Ah Huai is definitely staying here."

"If you really have objections, you can always move out yourself..."

Xu Yanshu, with one hand in his pocket, retorted confidently, "This is my home, why should I move out?"

He had been too lenient with Xie Huanyu before, and from now on he would not compromise or back down so easily.

Xu Yanshu raised her eyes and gave Lu Huai a cold look. Did he think he could use reverse psychology to get her to make room for them? No way.

If that's the case, then why is he being so nosy?!

Xie Huanyu immediately glared at the man resentfully.

Remembering her father's advice, she had no choice but to swallow her anger and give up.

But considering that Ah Huai was living here, it would be inappropriate for her to continue sharing a bed with Xu Yanshu.

After glancing at the two guest rooms located on either side of the master bedroom, Xie Huanyu chose the larger one. "Ah Huai, you can stay in this room!"

After saying that, she looked at Xu Yanshu again, her tone completely matter-of-fact.

"I want to sleep alone tonight, Xu Yanshu, you can stay in the small guest room on the right!"

They've even started avoiding each other!

After a moment's thought, Xu Yanshu understood Xie Huanyu's intention in making this arrangement, and he curled his lips in a mocking smile.

Too lazy to say anything more, he turned around and walked into the guest room on the left.

After returning from Lanyue Pavilion that day, he moved all his belongings out of the master bedroom, which means he had been living in the guest room for several days.

Xie Huanyu was about to remind Xu Yanshu that they had gone the wrong way when she vaguely felt that something was wrong. She subconsciously turned around and glanced into the master bedroom.

Only then did she realize that many things were missing from the room. She immediately guessed what it was, and her gaze unconsciously shifted to the left, where she found that all of Xu Yanshu's personal belongings were in the guest room.

What does this mean?

Xie Huanyu's face immediately fell. Was he trying to cause trouble by having to sleep in separate rooms?

Lu Huai was already annoyed by Xie Huanyu's concession, and now that he noticed the subtle changes in the woman's expression, his face became even more gloomy.

It seems she's really fallen for the man surnamed Xu!

Cough cough—

Xie Huanyu then came to her senses and looked at Lu Huai apologetically, "Huai, then I'm afraid you'll have to make do with the small room!"

"It's okay, as long as I can be by your side."
