Zhu Zhu no longer knew what she was eating. No matter what she put in her mouth, it had no taste.
She didn't dare to raise her eyes, because when she did, she saw Xue Li'er and Nan Xun sitting side by side opposite her, talking about their past that she didn't know about.
University alumni, old friends, past experiences. In those past memories, there were only Xue Lier and Nan Xun, no place for Zhu Zhu.
"You know what? I met Robin and Sherry when I was in Ireland. They were actually married. They even had three children. Isn't that funny? They were like sworn enemies back then, but they actually got married? It was so unexpected..."
Xue Lier kept talking about friends and classmates that Zhu Zhu didn't know about. Nan Xun ate his meal and listened to her quietly.
"I...I'm going to the bathroom." Zhu Zhu couldn't stand this atmosphere and stood up to get some fresh air.
After saying that, he turned and left without even looking at them.
She knew she was unworthy, and Nanxun could have told her the truth, that the contract between them could end because Xue Lier was back. But why did he have to do this, letting her watch them kissing with her own eyes?
After entering the bathroom, Zhu Zhu went straight to the sink, stretched out her hand, and took a handful of cold water and splashed it on her face.
Zhu Zhu! Wake up! That man doesn't belong to you! None of this has anything to do with you. Don't get sucked deeper into this!
Zhu Zhu stood in front of the sink and tried to walk back several times, but then she backed away. She still didn't seem to have the courage to face them.
Just as Zhu Zhu took another handful of water, the bathroom door where only Zhu Zhu was staying was suddenly locked.
Zhu Zhu looked over when she heard the voice, and saw Xue Li'er leaning against the door and looking at her.
Xue Li'er, who was before her, had completely changed from her gentle, quiet, and considerate demeanor. She looked at Zhu Zhu with raised eyebrows and curled lips.
"Are you upset?" Xue Li'er asked Zhu Zhu, "When I found out Nanxun was married, I felt just as upset as you do now."
Xue Li'er walked closer to Zhu Zhu and said, "I know you like Nanxun. You know, women's intuition is very accurate. But after spending some time with Nanxun, I believe you should also understand that Nanxun doesn't like you."
"What do you want to say?" Zhu Zhu looked straight at Xue Li'er.
Xue Li'er smiled and said, "Zhu Zhu, you are a smart person. You should know that I came back for Nanxun. After so many years abroad, I still can't let Nanxun go. Now that I'm back, shouldn't you give up the position that didn't belong to you in the first place? There has never been a place for you by Nanxun's side, and there will always be."
Zhu Zhu knew that she was not qualified, but she really disliked the tone and manner in which Xue Lier spoke.
"Since you like Nanxun so much, why did you leave him back then?"
Xue Li'er's face suddenly turned pale when Zhu Zhu asked her this. It seemed as if some bad things in the past were coming back to her mind.
"Nanxun and I have nothing to do with you!" Xue Li'er's eyes turned fierce. "You just need to know your position clearly and know when to advance and retreat."
"I know you and Nanxun have a marriage agreement," Xue Li'er said. "I can let you leave with dignity. But don't dream of anything else. Nanxun is not someone you can touch."
Zhu Zhu suddenly laughed: "Since you know that Nanxun and I have a marriage agreement, then it should be Nanxun who tells me the end. There is no need for you to interfere!"
