Yang Su got into the taxi, heading to the city center to choose a gift for Chang Linsheng!
Moreover, she was avoiding Zhang Mu.
She felt that it was not the right time to see Zhang Mu!
However, she still ran into Zhang Mu.
To be precise, she encountered Zhang Mu’s car!
Sitting in the taxi, Yang Su passed by Zhang Mu’s car, catching a fleeting glimpse of Zhang Mu’s face in the passenger seat.
Yang Su looked away, her heart filled with an indescribable sadness. She felt many apologies towards Zhang Mu, but between them, it’s just impossible!
Yang Su took out her phone. After some contemplation, she composed and sent a message: Are we still brothers? — sent to Zhang Mu!
The phone remained silent for a long time until the car reached the city, when the phone clenched in Yang Su’s hand finally vibrated—
Zhang Mu replied: Yes.
A moment later, another message: Always will be.
At that time, Yang Su had just gotten out of the taxi, and the weather suddenly turned gloomy, with a cold wind biting her face...
Yang Su reached to touch her face, and there were tears!
At five-thirty in the afternoon, Yang Su selected a gift, bought a cake, and picked up ingredients from the supermarket before heading back to Chang Linsheng’s apartment!
Chang Linsheng hadn’t returned yet. He had mentioned earlier that he might come back a bit late tonight, and since tomorrow was a holiday, he might as well work a bit more today!
Yang Su took a deep breath and started preparing dinner!
Since delving into culinary skills, Yang Su had cooked quite a few times, but never with such seriousness.
Moreover, to ensure there were no "failures" in this meal, she bought a lot of ingredients, hoping to make a somewhat decent dinner that was, at least, edible!
Yang Su worked on the meal until seven in the evening, and sure enough, Chang Linsheng hadn’t returned yet. It really was "a bit late"!
Yang Su pondered whether to call him, but after thinking it through, she decided against it!
Perhaps he’s busy, and calling him might interrupt his work?
Besides, it would make her seem a bit... anxious!
Can’t expose my feelings!
Yang Su sat in the living room watching TV, passing the time while waiting, until about ten minutes later, the doorbell rang!
Yang Su never realized the sound of the doorbell could be so pleasing. She quickly jumped off the sofa and walked towards the door without even bothering to put on her shoes!
Taking a deep breath, she steadied her heartbeat, then opened the door!
But when she saw the person standing at the door, she was completely stunned!
Yang Su recalled Yan Chenqing’s little girlfriend’s words to her earlier: "It’s unimaginable how it felt, like a bucket of cold water poured over your head..."
And at this moment, Yang Su felt exactly the same way!
Because right now at the door, stood a woman whom she had seen before!
She was Chu Qing, Chang Linsheng’s ex-wife!
Chu Qing was also momentarily stunned upon seeing Yang Su, but being a woman in her thirties with more experience than Yang Su, her expression quickly returned to normal.
"Is Asheng home?" Chu Qing asked.
"..." Yang Su was momentarily stunned, then shook her head, "He, he’s not back yet!"
Chu Qing pursed her lips, her indifferent gaze looked past Yang Su into the apartment, clearly showing that she didn’t quite believe Yang Su’s words!
"He’s really not back..." Yang Su reiterated.
Chu Qing retracted her gaze and looked at her, "Hello, we met last time but didn’t formally introduce ourselves. I’m Chu Qing!"
Yang Su glanced at Chu Qing’s outstretched hand, her eyes flickering slightly because she noticed that Chu Qing still wore a wedding ring on her ring finger!
Damn! Why is she still wearing a wedding ring if they’re divorced? This woman is nuts!
But on the surface, Yang Su forced a smile and shook hands with Chu Qing, "Hello, I’m Yang Su..."
We can’t lose the momentum!
"Yang Su? Nice name! By the way, how old are you this year?"
"..." Yang Su bit her lip. Isn’t it a bit impolite to ask this way?
"Not that young, just a bit younger than you!" Yang Su replied.
She bit her lip, a hint of coldness in her eyes, then asked, "May I come in?"
Yang Su thought of saying, "No, you can’t!"
But obviously, Chu Qing wasn’t interested in Yang Su’s response, she had already stepped inside!
Chu Qing put on Chang Linsheng’s slippers, which made Yang Su even more uncomfortable!
Then, strolling around the living room, with a smile on her lips, she remarked, "His taste hasn’t changed from back then..."
The tone carried a clear provocation...
Yang Su wanted to sneer, but she held back, saying, "Miss Chu, may I ask why you’re looking for... Asheng? If it’s urgent, I can call him..."
Chu Qing pursed her lips and looked at Yang Su. Her words seemed casual, but they stung Chu Qing!
If she could have reached Chang Linsheng by phone, why would she have come to his place to look for him?!
On the other side, seeing that Chu Qing did not object, it seemed she had tacitly agreed to her proposal!
Reluctantly, Yang Su picked up her phone and started dialing Chang Linsheng!
Chang Linsheng answered!
"Hello? Where... where are you?"
"Oh... Miss Chu is looking for you, but don’t worry, drive safely, umm... okay, I got it!" Check latest chapters at novelFirｅ.net
With just those two sentences, Yang Su handed the phone to Chu Qing, "He wants to talk to you..."
Chu Qing pursed her lips, reached out to take the phone from Yang Su, turned around, and started speaking, "It’s me..."
Yang Su wondered whether she should avoid being present while someone else is on the phone?
But she really wanted to know what they were saying...
And just while she was torn, Chu Qing took the phone towards the balcony and even closed the sliding door—
Damn, she wasn’t avoiding her, she was avoiding her!
Yang Su made a face at Chu Qing’s back, deeply regretting making that call to Chang Linsheng. But why did Chang Linsheng ask her to pass the phone to Chu Qing? That darn man!!!
Inside, Yang Su cursed Chang Linsheng thoroughly. It’s all his fault, all his fault!
That stinking man, can’t cleanly break off after the divorce; people are showing up at his home, and then provoking her!
Outrageous, outrageous, it’s really infuriating!
