Xuxu stared at him, speechless, " . . . "
It would be so impolite to stand someone up .
Yet, he was still acting so haughty and said it in such tyrannical tone . If Zhou Shuang hears of this, she would definitely bad-mouth him even more .
Him wanting to bring her out for lunch was probably just to accompany him for his social engagements . If so, she'd prefer not to go .
"I've already promised the children from the orphanage that I'll be visiting them again, and it's been some time since I last went there . "
So no matter what I say, she's still visiting the orphanage today?
Yan Rusheng was annoyed . "Wen Xuxu, it's not a good idea to disappoint me . "

He had pushed away all his business engagements just to be with her because he wanted a taste of what it's like to spend the weekend with her as husband and wife, just like any ordinary couple .
And she had the gall to turn him down .
"Sigh . You . . . " Xuxu mulled over her what to say and stopped short .
Of course, she should be the one giving in, yet she'd almost acted beyond the status of their relationship .
She lowered her head and continued to sip her porridge .
"I'll go with you next week . "
All of a sudden, she heard Yan Rusheng's voice from across her, but this time, his tone had softened .
Xuxu was startled . She raised her head in astonishment and stared blankly at his charming face .

After a period of silence, she asked uncertainly, "Are you saying that you'll come with me to the orphanage next week?"
Young Master Yan examined her reaction and raised his eyebrows smugly . "Are you overwhelmed with joy?"
" . . . " Xuxu rolled her eyes .
If he hadn't asked this question, she really would have been overwhelmed with joy . But after hearing it, that feeling had instantly vanished .
She lowered her head and curled her lips in disbelief . This guy was too full of himself .
After breakfast, Xuxu called Zhou Shuang and explained the situation to her .
As expected, Miss Zhou was exasperated after hearing that she was being stood up and the culprit was Yan Rusheng . She immediately bashed him, her mouth rattling on like a machine gun .
Xuxu listened patiently before hanging up the phone .
. . .
"Why are you dawdling when you haven't even put on your makeup?"
After changing her clothes, Xuxu emerged from the room . Dressed in a casual outfit, Yan Rusheng appeared at the entrance of her room .
When he saw her coming out, he knitted his eyebrows impatiently and chided her .
It was rare to see him donning a casual white T-shirt and gray Adidas sports shoes instead of his usual formal work attire . He leaned languidly against the door frame, both hands stuffed into the pockets of his pants .
At this moment, Xuxu felt as if time had turned back more than ten years ago .
That year, they had just graduated from high school, and Grandmother had enrolled them for summer camp . The morning before they set off, Xuxu had also taken her own sweet time to pack her things in her room .
When she opened the door, he'd just burst into her line of sight unexpectedly . Similarly, he had also dressed casually as he leaned against the door frame of her room . It made her heart pound with eagerness .
Back then, he'd also berated her in the same fashion .
In the blink of an eye, more than ten years gone by .
Should that same old scene reappear now, she would still feel awestruck by his breathtaking splendor .
But what was so good about him? He had a malicious tongue, was a hypocrite and a womanizer, his heart was with someone else, and he was also a perpetual liar . He was so loathsome, yet she still loved him .
A sudden thought flashed through her mind . Should I be jumping with joy because I can still stand beside him right now?
Regardless of his status, she was Yan Rusheng's wife, and they shared the same bed at night . In the future, they would bear and raise children . . .
She mocked herself as she thought about it . Wen Xuxu, how far will you lower yourself?
