“What has happened, happened… It’s time to move on . I’m more than happy to talk to you if you still can’t let it go,” Chu Zhiyun said mildly and handed An Xiaxia a bowl of porridge herself .
“Auntie Chu, oh no, Miss Old Hag, I’m kind of a clean freak when it comes to relationships and I have nothing to say to a mistress . ” An Xiaxia smiled, rose to her feet, and walked out .
The servant called after her, “Miss, where are you going?”
An Xiaxia ignored her . She picked up Hope and walked out of the villa .
A black Porsche was parked by the side of the road and the window rolled down .
“Miss Song, what a coincidence . ” Sheng Yize smiled harmlessly .
An Xiaxia gritted her teeth . “Why are you here?”
Sheng Yize said, “Just passing by… Why, do you need a ride, Miss Song?”
The servant was running after her and Mr . Song seemed to have been informed as well . An Xiaxia made up her mind and got into the car!
Little Hope drank from a milk bottle and fell asleep after she was full . An Xiaxia wiped her mouth for her, and Sheng Yize darted her a glance . “You like kids?”
“Hm… They’re alright, I guess . ”
“We can have a few ourselves . ”
Pffft — An Xiaxia thought she was going to have a stroke . She pressed a hand to her chest and said, “Stop saying such things!”
“I mean it . ”
“…” Fine, she would just play dead .
“Chu Zhiyun kept her secret well all these years . She has been acting for more than a decade and no one knows she has a daughter, let alone of her relationship with Mr . Song . ” Sheng Yize seemed to mention it in passing .
An Xiaxia said out of spite, “I don’t want to hear her name!”
“She was only 16 when she was with Mr . Song back then . She indeed did do something wrong, but Mr . Song was worse . ” Sheng Yize was right to the point .
An Xiaxia agreed with him . No matter how scheming a 16-year-old girl was, without mutual consent, she could never have started anything with someone like Mr . Song .
“You ran away from home on a whim . What’s your plan?” asked Sheng Yize .
An Xiaxia said, “… I’m getting some breakfast . ”
Sheng Yize was speechless . “What?”
“I’m going back after that . I’m not stupid . If I really run away, I’d be playing into Chu Zhiyun’s hands . ” An Xiaxia rolled her eyes . “Did you think I didn’t realize that she did it on purpose? That was indeed some award-winning acting . She did a much better job than her daughter . ”
Sheng Yize broke into laughter . Good . The little woman had indeed grown a brain .
He took An Xiaxia to a restaurant, where she ordered two cups of soya milk . Sheng Yize was baffled . “I thought you didn’t like soya milk . ”
An Xiaxia froze a little .
It had been seven years and he still remembered her preferences…
” Ahem . ” She struggled to keep her composure . “I’m going to drink one and throw the other away! I want to feel how rich people live!”
Sheng Yize was speechless .
Woman, have some imagination, will you?
In the end, our thrifty An Xiaxia still finished both cups, which made her so full that Sheng Yize had to carry her out .
The waiters’ eyes followed the couple out as they envied their affectionate interaction so early in the morning . An Xiaxia buried her face in her hands, wishing she was invisible .
Sheng Yize drove An Xiaxia back in the evening . When she got out of the car, he enjoined, “Call me if anything happens . ”
“Alright . ”
An Xiaxia heard the conversation inside as soon as she reached the villa entrance .
Chu Zhiyun said in a timid and gentle voice, “I have no idea what set Xiaxia off… She scolded me, then walked out… Brother Huan, I shouldn’t have come here…”
Mr . Song said grimly, “That was so inappropriate of her!”
