Zhen Xunhuan never expected to see Murong Yu again, especially not in this small town, and certainly not for him to bring her back to City A. But upon returning, things became awkward in various ways.
It was inevitable that meeting an ex would be uncomfortable, right? Although they had parted on good terms, she couldn't shake off the feeling of unease.
She had initially thought they would go their separate ways and never cross paths again, yet here was Murong Yu asking to meet.
Sipping her coffee, Zhen Xunhuan felt like she was sitting on pins and needles. Observing her nervous demeanor, Murong Yu spoke first, "Xiao Huan, I came back to find you."
"Ah?" What could he possibly want with her? Zhen Xunhuan was puzzled.
With a bright smile, Murong Yu continued, "I've finished my studies in the United States and am now working in Singapore with an annual salary of five hundred thousand..."
Wow! Five hundred thousand! That was so much more than what she earned... Okay, she was currently hiding at home and technically unemployed, but did that have anything to do with him?
Wasn't this just blatant bragging? She couldn't believe how much he had changed after studying abroad! As his ex-girlfriend, she felt disappointed.
"When we broke up, I didn't want to hold you back. Now I have the ability to make you happy," Murong Yu said earnestly. "Xiao Huan, marry me and come to Singapore with me."
Zhen Xunhuan's mind raced with one thought: that five hundred thousand salary could be hers! But she knew that such a windfall often came with strings attached; she was too wary to accept it.
Besides, they had already broken up. His sudden proposal felt strange... Although Murong Yu still looked as handsome and gentle as before, now he was even richer and more alluring, making her heart race uncontrollably!
Yet something felt undeniably different this time.
She pulled her hand away from his. "So, you’ve heard about it, right? The one who eloped with me before..."
"You were clearly coerced at that time," Murong Yu said.
At that moment, Zhen Xunhuan wanted nothing more than to hug him and kiss him fiercely. How could he see through her like that? A true confidant! So rare! But she couldn't use this as an excuse to refuse him. Was fate really pushing her to go with him?
Going to Singapore would mean getting away from that lunatic Yue Wen. She wouldn’t have to worry about whether Yue Tingting would pursue her or even secretly eliminate her. It was a win-win situation!
Zhen Xunhuan was just about to suggest they spend some time together there before considering the future when she suddenly caught sight of Yue Wen storming in.
"Xuan?"
She instinctively turned to run, but Murong Yu confusedly grabbed her hand. "Xiao Huan."
Let go! The demon is coming! She would end up in a terrible situation, wouldn’t she? If she fell into his hands again, there would be no escape!
Zhen Xunhuan was so anxious she could hardly stand still. Before she could break free, Yue Wen had already reached her and trapped her in his embrace. To her surprise, despite his slender frame, he had quite a bit of strength... Zhen Xunhuan looked at Murong Yu with a wry smile, Help me!
"Huan Huan is so naughty, running out without telling me," Yue Wen said with a smile that concealed his anger. Zhen Xunhuan froze at his words, too scared to move.
Why had she become so spineless? He hadn’t even done anything yet, and she was already filled with dread and obedience.
Yue Wen turned to Murong Yu, his smile brightening as he said, "You must be the college classmate Huan Huan mentioned! If you could come to our wedding, Huan Huan would be so happy."
Wedding? What was going on? Why hadn’t she heard anything about this?
"Don't talk nonsense. He still has a wealthy woman backing him. Does he really want to betray her? Don't drag her down with him; she's an innocent!"
Zhen Xunhuan was startled, but Yue Wen acted first and kissed her on the lips.
Zhen Xunhuan was completely stunned, her face flushed, looking enchanting enough to leave Murong Yu speechless. Had he missed his chance?
Why did he kiss her? Now she blushes every time she sees him, and she can't help but think of the times she saw him naked and felt his skin! She couldn't handle it; it was too stimulating!
The two walked silently into her rented apartment, one in front of the other. Zhen Xunhuan patted her burning cheeks. Was she sick? Why was everything so strange?
Yue Wen had a stern look on his face as he glared at her. "Is that your ex-boyfriend?"
"Yeah." Didn't he already know that? Why ask?
Yue Wen narrowed his eyes and scrutinized her closely. "Do you still like him?"
Zhen Xunhuan hesitated. She used to really like him, but after so many years… But of course, she couldn't let Yue Wen know that!
"Of course I like him."
Yue Wen ground his teeth in anger. "Great."
Zhen Xunhuan felt a rush of satisfaction. He could get angry too? She felt a thrill of victory! Suddenly, he leaned down and whispered in her ear, his hot breath making her heart race. "I wasn't planning to move this quickly, Huan Huan; you forced my hand."
Huh? He wasn't going to play Cosplay anymore? He was speaking normally now!
"Ah? What does he mean by that? Why is he getting so close? It's going to be hot!"
"Yue Wen... you..."
He bit her lip, this time not just a fleeting touch, but an intense passion that seemed capable of igniting everything. Zhen Xunhuan was stunned.
"Huan Huan, close your eyes," he tempted her.
"Why are you kissing me?" This was the question she had always wanted to ask.
"Because I like you."
In this modern world, his restless heart found peace because of her presence, yet it also trembled violently because of her. Her timid bravado, her stubborn arguments, the Dragon Robe she made for him...
He wanted her to be his only and most beloved consort.
Initially, he planned to wait for the Time Machine to be repaired and then return to the palace with her, but he couldn't wait any longer. He realized that this was a time hundreds of years later, not his palace, and what he thought was his might not truly belong to him—she could very well become someone else's.
The fear of losing her made him want to embrace her right now.
Hearing him say this, Zhen Xunhuan felt touched; she was lost in his tenderness but couldn't shake off the feeling that she had forgotten something—the fact she pretended didn't exist.
