Chapter 120

The sudden appearance of two people in her line of sight made her instinctively take two steps back, hiding herself against the wall. The girl's pupils contracted. Xia Yan was still there. The figurine was on the bench, and she was holding her old handbag in her arms. But who was opposite him...? Hua Xin didn't know whether she should feel sad and upset that Xia Yan was hiding something from her, or happy and joyful that Xia Yan had already found a good girl. Why? Xia Yan was still smiling gently. She didn't know if it was doting or helpless; she couldn't tell. But so... Xia Yan could be like this to other people too. She couldn't see the other person's face clearly. But the long hair was very noticeable. What made the girl's heart ache even more was the girl's small fist playfully punching Xia Yan's shoulder. It's okay... even if you lied to me... I will forgive you. Hua Xin tightly gripped the hem of her clothes, her eyelids lowered, not knowing what to do. Because everything I have in this world is thanks to you. Xia Yan. 100. My mom's the mistress, you know? (4k2 words) Hua Xin felt a pang of heartache for some reason. She hadn't felt this way when she saw Lin Qingyu and Liu Ruoyun with Xia Yan. She didn't know where this feeling came from, nor why she had become so strange. She was just pretending. She was just deceiving Xia Yan. Was it because Xia Yan didn't treat them like this? Even when beauties like Lin Qingyu and Liu Ruoyun sat beside him, he only kept his distance, polite yet distant. But now? That girl's playful punch on Xia Yan's shoulder felt like a thousand-pound hammer pounding into Hua Xin's chest. Hua Xin felt her hands, which had just warmed, turn icy cold again. So the real "girlfriend" wasn't her, but her, right? Then all those words were fake. Liking. Love. What's the point of talking about these things with a grown man like her? This is right... this is right. But at least it wasn't some tired, overused trope. The first love, a wealthy girlfriend who returned from studying abroad, and the already engaged heiress—the villainous female lead makes a powerful comeback solely to reclaim her place with the male lead, while she, as a supporting character, is envied, leading to a series of clichéd plot points. This is quite normal. It's normal for people to want to have a backup plan. If you can only choose one of the two girls, then it's not a big deal to consider their appearances and personalities beforehand. It's human nature, isn't it? Even if Xia Yan wants to have his cake and eat it too, it doesn't matter; Gu Xin Hua can just step aside. After all, it's just a false identity, an identity that only exists for one day. An identity that no one knows or acknowledges. That's fine too. At least someone can shatter the hopes of those women with some mental instability—whether it's her or someone else, it's the same effect. As long as Xia Yan is happy. Hua Xin leaned gently against the wall, her long hair covering half her face, but this time the girl didn't tuck her hair behind her ears. Her eyes held an emotion she herself couldn't understand. Was it disappointment? But why was she so disappointed? The plan had already predetermined that "Gu Xin Hua" would leave Xia Yan. Otherwise, Hua Xin would have to say that she had many relationships and that she needed to realistically assess Xia Yan before confirming whether she could be with him... Or perhaps she was just resentful? But why was she resentful? She had only ever been Xia Yan's friend from beginning to end, so what was she resentful about? Hua Xin knew Xia Yan well. Although he always appeared gentle and sunny to everyone, he was actually a very serious and devoted person. Since he could be so close to that girl, he must be the same in his relationships... The girl, lost in thought, gasped. Her gaze inadvertently swept over something, filling her beautiful eyes with disbelief and shock. The girl standing next to Xia Yan... wasn't she the girl she had met while changing lines at the subway station? Although she was wearing a coat, her long hair and cute face revealed by the hood were unmistakably hers. Wait... Memories flooded back, fragmented images replaying in her mind, making Hua Xin's heart skip a beat. [To be honest... Sister... I'm actually here today to catch my boyfriend cheating, to catch the mistress.] [My boyfriend is handsome, sunny, and has a perfect physique... but we're in a long-distance relationship, and we've been chatting less and less lately. A couple of days ago, when he sent me a selfie, I saw the bracelet on his wrist...] Extracting key words: catching cheating, catching the mistress, boyfriend, sunny, handsome, gentle, long-distance relationship, Peace Buckle Bracelet, Nanjing Road, less and less chatting in recent months... Summarizing key words: Girl = the main party, Xia Yan = boyfriend. Self =... =... mistress????????!! What should I do if I cheat? What is forgiveness or castration? What is giving advice on dating? In the end, it turns out I'm the mistress?????!! Hua Xin was shocked and gripped the corner of the wall tightly, momentarily speechless. She's the mistress... Xia Yan was already dating another girl... and she used photos and voices to seduce him into falling for someone Xia Yan, forcing him to cheat, which led to her giving the other girl the silent treatment, causing her to travel a long way from home... to catch him in the act?? Judging by appearances, that girl is probably still a high school student, probably experiencing her first love... and has been with Xia Yan for a very, very long time... otherwise, why would she have the courage to come all the way to Shanghai alone to catch him...? The girl involuntarily twitched her lips. Catch her?? So what is she worried about?? And since Xia Yan already has a girlfriend, why hasn't he mentioned it to Hua Xin or Invincible Cat Fist? Or is he saying he doesn't have a girlfriend, that he's never been in a relationship? Deceiving Online Relationship... deceiving a second girlfriend is one thing! But why even deceive his good friend Hua Xin?? Xia Yan, are you even human?! Xia Yan, you scumbag?! She's still a virgin, right?! How could you be so heartless?! Anger flashed in the girl's eyes, her slender, fair hands, with veins visible, were already clenched tightly. Since she was the one who caused all this trouble... Ah... I kind of want to go home. ———————— "Brother, I'm not trying to be mean..." "Can't you be a little more manly? You just come up here to go shopping with your wife, can't you consider my feelings as a spectator?" "You're now a spectator... We agreed to go shopping today, what else could we do?" "Also, you need to go home right now, if you stay here any longer I'll have to call Auntie." "Tomorrow you can pack your snacks and go back to Baijing to drink your soy milk and KFC." Xia Yan rubbed his temples helplessly, saying with a hint of exasperation. "Waaaaah..." "Of course, little sister wants to watch brother and sister-in-law get trained and then have a baby soon..." Xia Fen covered her eyes and peeked at Xia Yan through her fingers, observing his expression. To be honest, when a bunch of people were filming her Lao Ge and sister-in-law- in-law earlier, she was so happy that she planned to eat two extra bags of potato chips tonight. But their relationship had only ever progressed to holding hands, which made Xia Fen anxious.
