Meeting His Childhood Sweetheart Again

An Zhiwu: [Yes, we're officially together.]

Shen Songqing: [When did that happen?]

An Zhiwu: [That time you said you weren't a good horse.]

Shen Songqing: [...]

Shen Songqing: [Let's talk when we meet tomorrow.]

The next day.

An Zhiwu woke up a little after seven in the morning to find that Song Yihe had already left.

She was wondering why he hadn't called her to get up and go running today.

Then she remembered Song Yihe saying they would switch to swimming lessons from now on.

She gave her little belly a sharp pinch.

No, she had to lose the extra flesh on her belly before next week.

A little after nine in the morning.

Shen Songqing called and asked her out.

They hadn't seen each other for a few days, and Shen Songqing looked more radiant than ever. When she saw An Zhiwu, she looked her up and down. "What's going on? Why don't you look like a woman in love at all?"

An Zhiwu looked down at her outfit. "What's a woman in love supposed to look like?"

"Obviously, she should be surrounded by the scent of honey, just like me."

An Zhiwu couldn't agree with that. "Ours is a spiritual romance."

Shen Songqing didn't believe her. "I don't believe you two haven't kissed, hugged, and lifted each other up."

An Zhiwu didn't want to answer her question.

After all, it seemed there really had been kissing, hugging, and lifting each other up.

After the two of them ate, they went to the mall. Shen Songqing wanted to buy clothes for Wang Wenbo.

An Zhiwu remembered the earrings Song Yihe had given her last time and decided to buy him a present too.

She'd said she was buying a present for her boyfriend.

Yet Shen Songqing kept browsing women's clothing stores.

An Zhiwu felt like one of those boyfriends in TV dramas who accompanied their girlfriends shopping, because no matter which store they went into, Shen Songqing tried on one outfit after another and asked An Zhiwu, "Does it look good?" "What about this one?" "And this one?"

By the end, An Zhiwu was suffering from aesthetic fatigue and could only nod blankly.

She also had to carry Shen Songqing's clothes for her.

Just as she was about to fall asleep, she heard an haughty female voice beside her. "Since when did this store start letting just anyone in?"

An Zhiwu looked toward the voice. Wasn't that Tang Jingwen and her friend?

Tang Jingwen's friend was looking An Zhiwu over, her tone dripping with sarcasm. "Jingwen, is this the little commoner you were talking about?"

Tang Jingwen looked at An Zhiwu, who was dressed in cheap clothes but carrying bags big and small, and let out a disdainful sound. "What, spending Yihe's money on clothes so you can pretend to be a high-society lady? You were born to a mother who never taught you any manners."

An Zhiwu had been half asleep, but now she was wide awake.

She put on a troubled expression. "I didn't want to either, but our Baby Hehe insisted I'd been working too hard and practically forced his bank card on me. He even said he'd get angry if I didn't spend his money~ It's been hard on me too. I've been shopping all day, and my feet are rubbed raw~"

"You!" Tang Jingwen's chest heaved with anger at her bitchy words. "You're shameless."

An Zhiwu wasn't about to back down. "I spend my boyfriend's money, and I'm happy, and he's happy too. How does that make me shameless? You, on the other hand, have nothing to do all day. Why don't you take out the trash by the door? That way you won't be so bored that you have to stick your nose into another couple's business."

Tang Jingwen's face went red and white with anger. The people around her usually catered to her, and no one had ever spoken to her like that before.

"Jingwen, don't get angry with a woman like her. There are plenty of shameless women like her these days. They think that with a little bit of beauty, they can fly up to a branch and become a phoenix. I think Yihe's just bewitched right now, using her to relieve his loneliness for the time being. How could the Song Family let Yihe marry a woman like her?"

Tang Jingwen felt a little better. That was right. How could a family like the Song Family let Yihe marry a woman like her?

But when she thought about how this woman was living in Yihe's home now, a single man and a single woman alone together, it was hard to avoid something happening. She still couldn't accept it. "If you have any self-awareness, move out of Yihe's home right now. Otherwise, you'll only humiliate yourself when you're swept out the door later."

An Zhiwu thought this childhood sweetheart must have read plenty of romance novels like The Overbearing CEO Fell in Love with Me.

Otherwise, how could this routine be exactly the same as the ones in novels?

Boring and childish.

"My greatest virtue is that I don't have much self-awareness. Our Baby Hehe said he likes me because I'm pretty. Oh, and you don't know yet, do you? He's already changed the code to his front door. You won't be able to get in this time~"

Tang Jingwen's face changed instantly when she heard the door code had been changed. Just as she was about to say something, a tall, stylish girl pulled back the curtain of a fitting room and came out. "An Zhu, what do you think of this skirt... Who are they?"

An Zhiwu spread her hands, showing that she was helpless too.

Taking in the thick smell of gunpowder, Shen Songqing stepped out of the fitting room. "Are you two aunties here to buy clothes too?"

"Who are you calling auntie?" Tang Jingwen's friend snapped. "It's true what they say: people flock together with their own kind. All the ill-mannered people have piled together."

"Heh~" Shen Songqing sneered. "I couldn't agree more that people flock together with their own kind. I admit that's true of the two of us. Tsk, tsk, tsk. As for you two, at best, you're just birds of a feather flocking together!"

Standing to one side, An Zhiwu silently applauded Shen Songqing in her heart.

This was Shen Songqing, after all, a king who could curse five elementary schoolers to tears at once. How could these two, so used to being pampered young ladies, possibly outtalk her?

Sure enough, Tang Jingwen's friend's face turned red from the effort, but all she could squeeze out was, "Shameless."

No one knew what Tang Jingwen was thinking. She looked dazed as her friend pulled her away.

As they left, Shen Songqing didn't forget to call after them, "Come again next time!"

Once the two had gone far away.

Shen Songqing pulled An Zhiwu over. "Who were those two?"

An Zhiwu shrugged. "The prettier one is Song Yihe's childhood sweetheart."

"Childhood sweetheart? Is she interested in Song Yihe?"

An Zhiwu nodded and told Shen Songqing about the things that had happened recently.

After listening, Shen Songqing slapped her on the shoulder so hard she nearly knocked her over. "I'm telling you, you have to stand your ground. When dealing with a relationship like this, a smart woman wins over the man! Wang Wenbo and I broke up a few years ago because of some bullshit little sister of his. I was too naive back then, but I've grown up now, and I know how to handle this kind of situation!"

An Zhiwu humbly asked for advice. "How?"

"Deal with it at the source. Make sure he can't get out of bed! That way, even if he has any wicked thoughts, he won't be able to get it up!"

Pfft...

An Zhiwu glanced at her friend, at a loss for words.

Can you stop filling your head with dirty thoughts~~
