Xia Yuqing's cousin had suffered the same one-sided breakup as An Wuyang.
But for An Wuyang, Su Yueling's one-sided breakup was simply wonderful!
Xu Zixuan was different. She was unwilling to break up right now—at the very least, she didn't want to be dumped before finding her next simp.
After all, if she broke up now, who would be her simp?
And without a simp, how could she eat, drink, and have fun?
Niu Fenjin's circumstances were indeed nothing special, but they were still pretty good in Xu Zixuan's eyes. Now that Niu Fenjin had dumped her, it was only natural that Xu Zixuan couldn't hold herself together.
An Wuyang and Xia Yuqing had no idea that Xu Zixuan had already been dumped. An Wuyang checked the time. It was already past four in the afternoon, so he took the initiative to say, "Xia, I've made plans to have dinner with a friend tonight. I'll take you home first."
Xia Yuqing felt a little disappointed. When she heard the first half, she had thought An Wuyang was going to ask whether she wanted to come along. As it turned out, he was taking her home first.
But thinking about it, it was only normal for An Wuyang to take her home first. After all, they weren't in any relationship. They were merely a little ambiguous, not boyfriend and girlfriend as Xu Zixuan had claimed.
"Okay," Xia Yuqing replied firmly.
"I'll contact the Zegna staff first." An Wuyang took out his phone and sent a message to Jack, the Zegna employee, asking him to deliver the things he had bought earlier to the underground level-two parking garage.
After sending Jack the message, An Wuyang led Xia Yuqing toward Starlight Plaza.
About seven or eight minutes later, they returned to Starlight Plaza and then took the elevator to underground level two.
When they stepped out of the elevator, they saw Jack and another employee waiting in the elevator lobby as agreed. The two Zegna employees then followed An Wuyang and placed the shopping bags in the trunk of the BMW M3.
The few lululemon shopping bags were placed on the back seat.
Xia Yuqing got into the passenger seat first, while An Wuyang scanned the code and paid the parking fee.
Xia Yuqing received a message from Xu Zixuan while sitting in the passenger seat.
'Xu Zixuan: I'm heartbroken.'
'Xu Zixuan: Cousin, where are you and An going for dinner tonight?'
'Xu Zixuan: Can you take me with you?'
'Xu Zixuan: I'm really sad right now.'
Xia Yuqing looked at the messages Xu Zixuan had sent and showed a knowing expression.
She actually wasn't surprised at all by Xu Zixuan's breakup. Even if she hadn't broken up this time, they would definitely have broken up later. After all, her cousin was just too bizarre.
Besides, Xia Yuqing had no intention of replying to Xu Zixuan's messages.
Because the messages Xu Zixuan had sent were simply too ridiculous!
What did she mean, saying she was sad and therefore had to come eat with them?
Wasn't she being far too self-centered?
Once An Wuyang had taken the driver's seat, Xia Yuqing took the initiative to say, "An, my cousin got dumped!"
"That quickly?" An Wuyang exclaimed in surprise.
Hearing An Wuyang's response, Xia Yuqing immediately realized that he wasn't surprised that she had been dumped either.
"It really was pretty quick." Xia Yuqing sighed. "That middle-aged man was decisive."
Middle-aged man?
All right, all right!
So after all that, Xia Yuqing didn't even remember the man's name?
But Xia Yuqing really didn't seem to need to remember his name.
An Wuyang teased, "Your cousin's level is too low. She seems to think everyone is an idiot. That middle-aged man may be a clown, but he isn't a stupid dog!"
Niu Fenjin really was a clown, but who said that being a clown meant being a stupid dog?
It could only be said that Xu Zixuan was too self-important.
Xu Zixuan waited for Xia Yuqing's reply, but when none came, she couldn't help calling her on WeChat.
Xia Yuqing glanced at the voice call and complained, "My cousin really is something. Sigh!"
An Wuyang agreed. "She really is a little ridiculous."
Under modern social etiquette, if someone didn't reply to a message, one shouldn't send another!
In this age when people never left their phones, did they really expect that the other person hadn't seen the message?
Did they have to wait until WeChat added a "read" notification before giving up?
As for whether reading a message without replying was rude—
Put another way: if someone was in a room and you knocked on the door but they didn't answer, which was ruder—to keep knocking, or to not open the door?
Did you understand now whether it was the person who didn't reply who was rude, or the person who kept sending messages?
Xia Yuqing turned the phone's ringtone down to the lowest volume, ignoring Xu Zixuan's voice call. She didn't like Xu Zixuan, and now that Xu Zixuan had openly said she was heartbroken and in a terrible mood, how could Xia Yuqing possibly go over and become her punching bag and emotional dumping ground?
Wouldn't that be insane?
A little under half an hour later, An Wuyang drove to the entrance of Zhuyu Garden and casually asked, "Can you carry all that?"
Xia Yuqing felt secretly tempted. Should I say I can't carry it, then use that as an excuse to ask An Wuyang to walk me home?
But would taking the initiative to invite An Wuyang into her home make her seem too forward?
In the end, Xia Yuqing could only answer firmly, "Don't worry, An. I can carry it."
Actually, there wasn't much!
It was only four sets of lululemon clothes and a pair of dance shoes. Even including the shopping bags, everything together weighed less than five pounds. Who couldn't carry that?
An Wuyang nodded. "Then I won't walk you in. I happen to have something to deal with later."
"Be careful," Xia Yuqing reminded him. She then got out, opened the rear door, took out the shopping bags, and waved goodbye to An Wuyang.
An Wuyang waved goodbye as well, then slowly pressed down on the accelerator. The BMW M3's engine gave a deep roar, and its Bixihui-gray body gradually disappeared into the distance.
Xia Yuqing watched the departing car. Only after it turned the corner and vanished from sight did she turn and walk back.
Inside the BMW M3's cabin, An Wuyang received a notification from the Happy Life System.
'Ding!'
'Random Event [I'm B-King!] has ended.'
'Event Requirement: Completed.'
'Gift Value: 5,570 yuan'
'Target Satisfaction: Xia Yuqing 90%'
'Secondary Target's Envy, Jealousy, and Hatred: Xu Zixuan 99%'
'Based on the gift value, target satisfaction, and secondary target's envy, jealousy, and hatred, the host has obtained the following two rewards:'
'1. The gift value will be randomly refunded at 1 to 999 times the original amount;'
'2. The Bitter Orange Tree planting area at Tianjingyan Medicinal Herb Planting Base will be expanded by 2,000 mu;'
Special Notes:
A: Reward 2 requires the prerequisite conditions for expanding Tianjingyan Medicinal Herb Planting Base to be met;
B: Only Bitter Orange Flowers from Tianjingyan Medicinal Herb Planting Base possess the effects of eliminating dullness and restoring fair skin;
As he drove, An Wuyang quickly finished reading the information sent by the Happy Life System.
"Holy crap?" An Wuyang couldn't help swearing.
The rewards this time were simply too generous!
Reward 1 was a minor matter. After all, 5,570 yuan was nothing. Even with the highest 999-times refund, it would only amount to 5,564,430 yuan.
Ordinary people might think five million was a lot, but to An Wuyang, a mere five million—who hadn't seen that before?
The true grand prize was Reward 2!
