Chinese Valentine’s Day had arrived!
Among the eager anticipation of thousands of couples and the mournful howls of countless single "dogs," this holiday finally arrived as expected.
On this day, it wasn’t just the lovers who were happy but also the business owners and bosses!
Especially the owners of some small hotels, who were eagerly awaiting the nightfall. Because tonight was also known as the "deflowering night," the peak time for many young couples to check into rooms, they naturally could make a killing.
It was still daytime, around ten in the morning.
Inside Century Garden.
In Su Yumo’s home, the great beauty Su sat alone on the couch, boredly staring at the ceiling! She had been maintaining this state for nearly half an hour.
It was simply because she had nothing to do!
Other people’s couples were probably all together by now, either strolling through shopping malls or indulging in sweet, intense romance. But she could only stare at the ceiling alone at home! No matter how she thought about it, there was a sense of loneliness.
Although Su Yumo also wanted to find something to do, like, maybe watch some popular idol drama or go out and roam the malls, she could also go to the yoga studio to do some yoga, to ease the lonely atmosphere of being alone.
However, she found that she seemed to have no interest in anything, unable to muster any enthusiasm. The only thought in her mind was whether he would come to keep her company? To the point where she had no mood to do anything!
In past Chinese Valentines, she had always been alone, but she had never felt as absent-minded as today, as if everything had been sucked out of her, leaving behind only an empty shell.
Originally her temperament was very cold, unwilling to interact with men, and she never thought about male-female issues. So for her, spending Chinese Valentine’s Day alone was normal!
Even, at first, she was wondering if she would always spend Chinese Valentine’s Day alone for the rest of her life?
But at this moment, she cared a great deal!
Ever since she met Ye Xuan, her mentality had undergone a complete transformation and change! She started to anticipate that Ye Xuan would come, because she understood, she was just an ordinary person, an ordinary woman, who also longed to be loved! She hoped even more to experience the feeling of spending Chinese Valentine’s Day with the person she liked.
The name Ye Xuan popped up in her mind, and Su Yumo, out of habit, repeated the same action: she reached for her phone to check if there were any calls or messages from him.
Although she knew, in fact, there weren’t any, because if there were calls or messages, she would have heard them. But she was still worried she might have missed them, still holding a sliver of hope, just in case there was no ringtone or notification sound.
But seeing the empty communication column, with no missed calls and unread messages, she could only give a wry smile.
All her hope turned into disappointment, the sparkle in her eyes also dimming!
As expected, she was asking for too much, knowing it was impossible, how could it come true?
But even knowing it was too much to hope for, she still couldn’t help praying in her heart, that he could come and spend just one hour with her... Oh no! Even half an hour would be fine! I’m not asking for much, why can’t God grant me this?
Su Yumo smiled bitterly, knowing that Ye Xuan was unlikely to come! She and he were not a couple to begin with, so why should he come to keep her company?
Just as she was about to turn off her phone and continue to daze off alone, suddenly, her phone rang!
The crisp ringtone of the cell phone was like an adrenaline shot to Su Yumo, instantly sharpening her senses and nearly causing her to leap with excitement.
Grabbing her phone, she saw it was indeed Ye Xuan calling. Suppressing the joy in her heart, she answered immediately but deliberately toned her voice to indifference, "Is that you, Ye Xuan? What do you want?"
"Little Momo, I’m coming over to be with you. Aren’t you going to come down and welcome me?" came Ye Xuan’s teasing voice.
Su Yumo’s heart skipped a beat, but she still managed to keep her composure and retorted, "Who asked you to come? I don’t need your company!"
Though she said so, her lips slightly curled upward, betraying her true feelings.
"Hehe, today is the Chinese Valentine’s Day, of course, I have to come and see you! Hurry up and come down to greet me," Ye Xuan said.
She responded flatly and hung up the phone.
Previously cold, her face now broke into a smile as she muttered to her phone, "That guy, at least he still has some conscience."
No matter how long Ye Xuan would be with her today, just the fact that he intended to be there for her made Su Yumo very happy.
She was an easily contented woman, not one to ask for too much, and she understood that a man like Ye Xuan was not someone she could easily hold on to.
Quickly rising from the sofa, she hurriedly changed into a new outfit and, after putting on her shoes, rushed out the door.
Upon arriving at the entrance of Century Garden, Su Yumo looked around. About a minute later, Ye Xuan’s uniquely styled Raptor SUV appeared in her field of vision and slowly drove into the residential complex.
Stopping in front of Su Yumo, Ye Xuan rolled down the window, poked his head out, and raising an eyebrow, he teased, "Yumo, the beautiful lady, knowing that I was coming, why didn’t you dress up a bit nicer? I could take that as disrespect. Do you want me to spank you?"
"I’m alone at home, who am I dressing up for? Besides, you just called, where would I find the time to dress up?" responded Su Yumo, her voice calm.
At her words, Ye Xuan swung open the car door and stepped out, chuckling, "Yumo, the beautiful lady, today’s the Chinese Valentine’s Day, do I really need to remind you to dress up pretty for me to admire? That should be something you do naturally."
Hearing this, Su Yumo’s heart thumped, ’Something natural?’ What did he mean by that? Was he considering her as his woman already?!
Her mind raced with thoughts, yet she kept a calm demeanor and replied, "How was I to know you were coming? If you hadn’t come, wouldn’t my effort to dress up have been in vain?"
"Hehe, little Momo, saying that, I might really have to spank you! How could you doubt that on Valentine’s Day, your man wouldn’t come to see you? Is this a lack of trust in me?"
Ye Xuan chuckled mischievously and looked at Su Yumo with a scrutinizing gaze, saying with utmost seriousness,
"Comrade Yumo, is there no basic trust between people? If that’s the case, could it be that you don’t consider me your man?"
Su Yumo shivered and, unable to maintain her composure any longer, rushed forward and embraced Ye Xuan, her voice filled with sincerity, "Ye Xuan, I didn’t mean it that way! You’re the only man I have feelings for, I don’t distrust you. I’m just afraid you won’t accept me because, truthfully, I’m scared of losing you! I made a mistake this time and I apologize to you. From now on, I will never distrust you again. Can you forgive me this once, please?"
"Alright! I wasn’t angry with you, just as long as you realize your mistake and correct it next time. I forgive you."
Ye Xuan patted Su Yumo’s little head and generously said.
