Chapter 13
Editor: Henyee Translations
Thinking that she had hit the nail on the head regarding what was on Su Wanwan’s mind, Xi Zhiwei was immensely proud of herself. She took a small step forward towards Su Wanwan. Her red lips parted slightly as she enunciated every word: “What a pity that he doesn’t want you. Even if you’re planning to make use of Gong Lingyu to chase after Brother Munian again, it’s completely useless!”
Making use of Gong Lingyu to chase after Pei Munian?
Su Wanwan froze. She never expected Xi Zhiwei to say something like that.
She and Gong Lingyu had gotten acquainted through a blind date. Although they had been dating for almost half a year, she knew very little about his friends and family and had never made it a point to ask him. Had they not run into Pei Munian by chance a few days ago, she wouldn’t have known that Gong Lingyu and Pei Munian were cousins. But in the eyes of outsiders, did it look like she was actually scheming?
So... Does Pei Munian think the same way too? He’s scared that I’ll chase after him again so that’s why he threatened me to break up with Lingyu?
Su Wanwan’s brows furrowed even more deeply.
Seeing Su Wanwan frozen to the spot as if she had been dealt a huge blow, Xi Zhiwei felt the tightness in her chest dissipating a little. She sized Su Wanwan up and sneered. “Don’t think that you can play with men in the palms of your hands just because of your looks. Back then, Brother Munian still dumped you even after sleeping with you.”
At first, Su Wanwan couldn’t be bothered to bicker with Xi Zhiwei. However, right from the beginning, Xi Zhiwei always liked to make trouble for her. It was impossible not to grant her wishes.
Su Wanwan’s eyes widened and she slowly met Xi Zhiwei’s eyes. The corners of her lips curled up into an insincere smile as she said, “That’s still better than you trying every possible means to climb into Pei Munian’s bed, yet he doesn’t even want to sleep with you!”
The smile on Xi Zhiwei’s face instantly froze and her face turned ashen from the mortification. She opened her mouth but no words left her mouth. Su Wanwan seemed to always be able to put her down with just one sentence and render her powerless to retaliate.
Admiring the expression on Xi Zhiwei’s face right now, Su Wanwan scoffed. With such lousy insults, she still wants to provoke me?
Su Wanwan didn’t feel like continuing this interaction with Xi Zhiwei so she continued walking. When she reached the door, she appeared to have suddenly recalled something and stopped in her tracks again. Turning slightly, she said to Xi Zhiwei who was behind her, “Oh right, I forgot to tell you. Back then, I was the one who f*cked Pei Munian and dumped him afterward!”
After saying that, Su Wanwan held her head high and calmly strode out in her high heels.
–
Su Wanwan walked out of the bathroom and was about to return to the room when all of a sudden, she abruptly halted in her tracks.
Not far ahead of her, Pei Munian’s tall body was leaning against the wall, his handsome face calm and composed. He held a thin cigarette with a flickering scarlet fire between his slender fingers.
The wall lamp above his head emitted a dim yellow light. It shone down diagonally, making his face look deeper and more exquisite.
He slowly raised his gaze and his black eyes looked straight at her.
Su Wanwan’s heart slammed against her chest and she had a strong urge to turn around and escape.
However, she knew in her heart that even if she could escape this time around, she wouldn’t be able to escape the next time. The past between her and Pei Munian was always a ticking time bomb.
It was only by confronting and settling the past that her mind could be at rest.
Su Wanwan took a deep breath and cheered herself on internally. Since Pei Munian probably mistakenly thinks I’m only with Lingyu to get involved with him again, he shouldn’t oppose my relationship with Lingyu anymore if I explain, right?
Lifting her feet, Su Wanwan walked towards Pei Munian step by step.
