"You just hid the note, do you not trust me and are planning to investigate me behind my back?"
Xu Wen looked at the little girl's big, darting eyes and felt a rare bit nervous.
"No, no, I don't believe what's on this."
Seeing the doubt on the girl's face, Xu Wen knew that he couldn't end this easily without explaining things clearly.
“I have eyes to see for myself. I can’t say I know you 100% right now, but I know you’re not the kind of person described here.”
Xu Wen spoke with great conviction, which greatly pleased Zhao Shanshan, causing her previously tense lips to curve slightly upwards.
"You trust me that much? This document clearly states that I've had previous relationships. Don't you want to ask about them?"
Xu Wen was actually curious, but he didn't want to ask himself. He felt that when the time was right, Zhao Shanshan would naturally tell him.
“That’s your private matter. I hope you’ll talk about it when you’re ready, rather than forcing you now. I think even if that experience wasn’t exactly what’s written on the note, it’s probably still a bad memory. So the decision of whether or not to talk about it is yours, and I respect that.”
Looking at the man's incredibly sincere face, Zhao Shanshan felt that what he said was true.
The more this happened, the more she couldn't hold back her words. "Let's talk as we walk," she said.
It was truly shameful to have dated a man like Ling Xiao. Even though Zhao Shanshan tried her best to appear nonchalant, a hint of resentment could still be heard in her voice.
The more this was the case, the more vivid and endearing the person in front of him seemed to Xu Wen.
"That man brought this on himself. He was two-timing, and An'an found out. He was afraid An'an would tell me about his dirty secrets, so he thought he would strike first and ruin our relationship."
But he completely overdid it. Before that incident, An'an and I had never spoken. An'an, with her personality, wouldn't get involved in strangers' affairs. It was only after I listened to him and tried to persuade An'an to turn back from her wrongdoing that I angered her and learned the dog's true colors.
When talking about Gu An'an, Zhao Shanshan's tone became noticeably cheerful.
Seeing this, Xu Wen felt much better, but he still didn't intend to let the man who dared to use underhanded tricks behind his back get away with it.
The most urgent thing is, of course, to go on a date.
Apart from that brief moment, the two didn't mention the matter again, focusing entirely on enjoying the delicious food, beautiful scenery, and lovely people.
But after the date ended and Xu Wen took Zhao Shanshan home, the two immediately changed their attitudes.
“He dares to trip me up behind my back. It seems he really doesn’t know how to write the character ‘Xu’ in my name.”
Zhao Shanshan went straight to her father, "Dad, I want to get a full-body transplant."
After explaining what happened, Zhao's father was also furious. He didn't care about the person his daughter had recently met, but that brat who had been playing with his daughter dared to mess around and ruin her marriage. He really didn't know how many eyes the King of Horses had.
Just when things finally started to improve and his messy affairs were gradually forgotten, he found a decent job and even started talking to freshmen from other universities. He was preparing to work hard to get a permanent position when everything suddenly changed.
"No, boss, why don't you want me anymore?"
This job is far superior to the manual labor he used to do; the pay is also better. Otherwise, he wouldn't have had the chance to hook up with that female student.
As a result, he worked for less than a month, and even took leave to follow up in between. Now he has finally made it to the day when he will be paid.
He was fired!
The middle-aged man gave him a disdainful look. He usually seemed quite respectable, but he never expected him to be that kind of person, and to have offended someone he shouldn't have.
"You are not suitable for this job."
Ling Xiao certainly wouldn't accept this explanation. "No, boss, didn't you say I performed quite well?"
“It was alright at first, but you take half a month off at a time. Even if it’s part-time, this kind of attitude is unacceptable.”
"It's not something I can explain. I... I took the leave because I was sick."
Hearing this only strengthened the other party's resolve to fire such a person.
"You're talking nonsense. If you were really sick, why didn't you use this excuse in the first place? Forget it, don't keep arguing with me. We'll settle your wages after you've worked a few days. Let's not talk about anything else."
After saying that, the middle-aged man pushed him aside and went straight into the office, looking like he didn't want to say anything more.
Ling Xiao wanted to follow them in, but was stopped by someone.
"Excuse me, my supervisor is busy and doesn't want to be disturbed."
And so, Ling Xiao was asked to leave with less than ten days' worth of wages.
This took a long time, and it was almost time for him to meet the new student.
Even if I'm in a bad mood, I still have to go on dates. I can't lose both my job and my girlfriend.
When he arrived at the agreed location, seething with anger, there was no one there.
It wasn't until an hour later that the familiar faces appeared.
"you......"
He was about to vent his anger on the other person, but remembering that the person hadn't been completely subdued yet, he held back his anger.
"Xiaoying, why are you so late? Did something happen...?"
"Smack!"
Before he could finish speaking, he was slapped across the face. The girl was quite strong, leaving Ling Xiao somewhat stunned.
What are you doing!
"What am I doing? You have the nerve to ask me what I'm doing? Ling Xiao! What did you tell me before? You said you'd never been in a relationship, and what is this?"
Ling Xiao instinctively caught the paper the other person threw at him, a bad feeling creeping into his heart.
When he finally saw what was on the note, he felt dizzy and disoriented.
"No, I didn't. This is a frame-up. Xiaoying, you have to believe me."
Looking at the person who kept making excuses, Xiaoying was glad that she had inquired about the situation before coming, otherwise she might have been fooled by the other party's smooth talk.
"Don't say anything more. I've been to Huada University. You can find out about what happened there by asking anyone. Besides, the school has your disciplinary records, and those won't disappear."
Ling Xiao couldn't understand why the girl, who had been so gentle and kind just a few days ago, was now making a big deal out of something that happened a few years ago.
"Didn't you say you liked me? Then what's this little thing? It's not like I saw someone else while I was with you, so why are you so concerned?"
Xiaoying never expected him to say such shameless things, and felt that there was nothing more to say to this kind of person.
"Fine, I'm here today to tell you one thing: we're over. Don't come looking for me again, or I won't mind spreading your messy affairs far and wide."
After saying that, she tried to leave, but stopped and turned back halfway.
"Xiaoying, I knew you wouldn't be this cruel..."
"Give me back what I bought for you!"
