“... Could Mr. Sheng maybe consider the feelings of single people like me when you get all lovey-dovey with your wife?” Yin Qinghan said wryly.

Sheng Yize was a little surprised at his tone. “But, I thought you and Qi Yue...”

The look on Yin Qinghan’s face changed at the mention of that name.

“I didn’t know Mr. Sheng was that into gossip. Or is it your habit to reopen old wounds?” Yin Qinghan said coldly.

Sheng Yize wasn’t in the habit of digging into such things, not to mention that he didn’t know Yin Qinghan that well to begin with. He only smiled a little and replied, “The wearer knows where the shoe pinches, and that wearer is you. If you think you made the right choice, no one can tell you otherwise.”

Yin Qinghan clenched his fists after Sheng Yize left.

Had this society given them a choice at all?

How could anyone else know what a torment it was to tear a person away from your heart?

–

Sheng Yize finished all his scenes in two days, and upon completion of his scenes, the crew threw him a small party.

Sheng Yize left with An Xiaxia after a brief exchange of pleasantries with the others.

An Xiaxia was chatting with Su Xiaomo. She raised her phone and told Sheng Yize, “Momo’s coming over tonight.”

“Alright.” Sheng Yize asked, “Are we eating in or out?”

“He Jiayu and you are both here, so of course we’re eating at home.” The two men were excellent cooks.

Sheng Yize smiled. “No problem. I’ll cook you anything you want.”

Rubbing An Xiaxia’s head, he went on, “I have a plan.”

“Huh?”

“About stealing Cuddlie away,” Sheng Yize said calmly. “Cola is a big boy now. It’s time to find him a potential wife.”

An Xiaxia was astonished. That’s not what you said to Pepsi!

“I like Cuddlie a lot.” Sheng Yize rubbed his chin. “Cola should give it a shot tonight. I’ll teach him a few tricks after we get back.”

“Pffft... Sheng Yize, you’re shameless!”

“You flatter me, honey.”

“...”

Cola’s head was spinning after the lecture his old man gave him.

When the He family arrived, Cola rushed up to Cuddlie and offered her all his snacks.

Cuddlie asked, “Are they all for me?”

Cola hesitated, then drew back.

“N- not really...”

Aww...

The corner of Sheng Yize’s mouth twitched. The boy was hopeless...

“Not really?” Cuddlie smiled sweetly. “I’ll take them all.”

She was a really tough girl for her age, who didn’t hesitate to use her fists.

He Jiayu and Su Xiaomo were speechless.

So were Sheng Yize and An Xiaxia.

A couple of minutes later, Cola, after getting his little ass kicked, curled up in a corner and licked his wounds.

Cuddlie, on the other hand, went to show off the snacks she looted to her parents. “Look what I got!”

He Jiayu said uneasily, “Cuddlie, you should have reasoned with Cola. Why did you have to resort to violence?”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Su Xiaomo rolled her eyes at him. “Why reason when you can use your fists?”

He Jiayu was speechless.

Cola’s courting plan: failed.

While the two men went to prepare dinner — a task bestowed by fate — An Xiaxia and Su Xiaomo chatted in the living room.

Su Xiaomo cleared her throat. “I’m here to talk to you about something.”

“What?”

“A reality show reached out to me and invited the two of us to take part. We’d be traveling around some local destinations and playing games,” Su Xiaomo said expectantly. “I think we should go! The show is nowhere close to being popular, and hardly anyone notices it. It’ll be like going out with a tour group!”

An Xiaxia thought about it. Since she didn’t have anything better to do, she agreed to Su Xiaomo’s suggestion.

However, only when they arrived for the show did they realize that they had been tricked!
