Chapter 187

He's got all these privileges, yet he pretends he has nothing to hide it. Xia Yan, you don't actually think that learning such a simple math problem to "teach" me is something to be happy about, do you? Tsk, a commoner is a commoner. But how do I know... you only pretended to turn around and rummage through your bag because nobody was talking to you, and you just happened to see me staring out the window out of boredom, so you stopped working on my unfinished math problem. What are you happy about? I suddenly really want to know, Xia Yan. 6. I feel like something's not right. What does love really mean? I asked my secretary and bodyguard, and they said it's that feeling of your heart racing when you see someone, and wanting to be with them forever. But how could I be with a commoner forever? Hmm, maybe it's out of pity for Xia Yan. Perhaps I can turn his "interesting commoner" into "little puppy." Who told him to always follow me around? He's even there when I'm left alone to do chores. This clumsy way of pursuing a girl is so old-fashioned. If he knew I was the daughter of Shanghai's richest man, would he be so surprised his jaw would drop to the ground? 7. I've fallen in love with him, but something unexpected happened. Just the literal meaning. Today was my turn to clean the floor again, and as usual, he made up a lame excuse not to go home, instead spouting nonsense about contributing to his classmates and repaying the school, and took the mop from my hand. Although I'm not so pretentious as to not know how to mop. When I was little in Europe, I often washed my own clothes. But when did I prepare this sleeping potion? And why did I put it in Xia Yan's favorite iced tea? Why is my heart racing? Could it be that I've really fallen for him? Otherwise... why would someone as high and mighty as me want to keep this man firmly by my side, not giving anyone else a chance to spy on him, making him belong only to me for life? I handed him the water. Xia Yan was happy and surprised. A tenderness and a racing heart, unlike anything I'd ever felt before, welled up inside me. Come to think of it, the first thing I gave Xia Yan was a bottle of iced tea laced with aphrodisiacs and sleeping potions. He drank it. 8. I'm on a plane to London now. It's pitch black outside. My father sent me back to England because Xia Yan somehow had the courage to tell him about this. I never expected you to reject me so resolutely. Isn't this what you wanted? Don't you want my body, don't you want everything behind me? As long as you're with me, I can help you get back everything you've lost, and even make up for it a thousand times over. I can give you anything you want. But you, Xia Yan, rejected me. You rejected Liu Ruoyun's advances. You also rejected Liu Ruoyun's first stirrings of love. But I don't intend to give up. When I come back in three years, you will still be mine. 9. Three years can feel fast or slow. Even though you were in Shanghai and I was in London, I knew everything about you all these years. You never left here, and I always wanted to come back. Now I'm back, but why is there someone else by your side? I don't understand. I don't get it. Have you betrayed me? My heart is aching so much... This is the first time I've felt this way, the first time I've truly understood what...heartbreak means? If it were just Lin Qingyu or those other women, I wouldn't have given them a second thought. After all, how could those common beauties be worthy of you? They certainly wouldn't catch your eye. Only I can be with you, only I am worthy of you. But why are you smiling even more happily, even more blissfully, than when you received my drink? Just like now, as I see through the glass, you and that girl named "Gu Xin Hua" looking so happy together. End...———————————— Sometimes life is just so dramatic. Even if you happen to bump into your boss while slacking off, casually offering him a cigarette could give you a higher status in his heart than a subordinate who has been with him for years. A promotion and raise are naturally quite possible, right? Li Xue's cat cafe naturally returned to the top of Chun Qiu's cat cafe scene with the viral sensation of her backflip video and a series of out-of-the-box videos featuring the stunningly beautiful and adorable Hua Xin, who is even more beautiful than celebrities and internet stars! With Xia Yan's superb editing skills and the addition of the abstract and quirky beauty... this combination, while not exactly a winning formula, is certainly a niche market only they can navigate. Meanwhile, the "Hachimi Cat Cafe" across the street remained lukewarm. Xiao Hu's hand gesture dance seemed less appealing to humans at this moment; instead, the beautiful girl held immense allure for both men and women. The booming business made everyone forget how quickly time was passing. The daily grind of running around and dealing with numerous fans coming to take photos left them overwhelmed, and this was the first time Shan Qing had cooked to the point of losing her appetite. Li Xue, naturally, felt an unprecedented sense of accomplishment for breaking the "curse" for the first time, immersing herself in the joy of her busy work every day. Xia Fen's vacation was drawing to a close, but the month she had spent with the people at the cat café had been incredibly rewarding, and she was somewhat reluctant to leave. As for Hua Xin... well, she certainly had a taste of the treatment and attention that only a big star enjoys... In the blink of an eye, it was January 25th. Twenty days had vanished without a trace. It was 5 PM, and darkness was falling quickly. Fortunately, with the Lunar New Year approaching, the café wasn't as packed as it had been during the day. Most people had lost their initial curiosity and enthusiasm, treating it simply as a way to pass the time. After all, the majority of customers were from Shanghai. "Welcome back next time~" Xia Fen smiled and saw off the last table of customers, a rare relaxed smile appearing on her face. She first glanced outside, then at her wristwatch, checking the time. He's still not here... Didn't he say he'd be here around 5 PM?! Does he even want a wife? "Xiao Fen... I'm going to die?..." The sudden grab of her arm, accompanied by a dejected and weary voice like a zombie apocalypse, was easily startling. But Xia Fen seemed completely used to this. "Alright, Sister Xin Hua, as a big star, you should have the awareness of a big star." "It's not good to always say such depressing things. Quickly say to me: (I will live to be a hundred years old.) to dispel those bad words!!" Xia Fen said to Hua Xin with unusual seriousness. "..." But the girl was already unable to respond. Xia Fen's lips twitched. Seeing Hua Xin, who had already lowered her head and was lifeless, exhausted and unconscious, a gentle light appeared in her eyes. She had witnessed Hua Xin's efforts and changes during this time.
