"Ah—" Yong Nan let out a piercing scream. 0
 
My action instantly drew the attention of other patrons in the café. 0
 
Yong Nan was a mess, her hair and makeup completely ruined by the fruit tea. 0
 
She trembled with anger, pointing at me and stammering, "Shangguan Yunduo, you—how dare you splash me!" 0
 
I raised an eyebrow. "What do I have to be afraid of?" 0
 
With that, I raised my hand and gave her a sharp slap. 0
 
Smack— 0
 
I put all my strength into that slap. 0
 
Five clear fingerprints immediately appeared on Yong Nan's face. 0
 
She covered her face, looking at me in disbelief. 0
 
I leisurely took out a tissue, wiped my hands clean, and said, "This slap is for Xiao Cheng." 0
 
"Yong Nan, remember this: Xiao Cheng is my husband, not someone you can casually covet." 0
 
Yong Nan's expression gradually turned vicious. 0
 
Through gritted teeth, she spat, "Shangguan Yunduo, don't get too arrogant! Do you think you can be proud for long? Xiao Cheng doesn't love you at all!" 0
 
 
I calmly said, "Is that so?" 0
 
"Of course." Yong Nan suddenly laughed again, "If he really loves you, how could he take me to the banquet? How could he dance with me?" 0
 
"Shangguan Yunduo, I came back to the country this time for Xiao Cheng." 0
 
"Oh?" I raised an eyebrow slightly, "Then do you want to make a bet with me?" 0
 
"What kind of bet?" 0
 
"Let's bet on Xiao Cheng's heart." I smiled, "If Xiao Cheng has feelings for you, then I willingly concede and will no longer pursue him." 0
 
Yong Nan's eyes lit up: "Are you serious?" 0
 
"Of course." I smiled faintly, "But if you lose..." 0
 
"I won't lose!" Yong Nan declared firmly. 0
 
"Don't speak too confidently." I smirked, "If you lose, I want you to disappear from our sight immediately." 0
 
Yong Nan stared at me intensely, her gaze sharp. 0
 
I let her stare without backing down. 0
 
After a long while, she finally spoke: "Alright, it's a deal." 0

I returned home. 0
 
I sat at my desk and opened my diary. 0
 
After writing a bit, I noticed footsteps coming from outside the door. 0
 
I quickly shoved the diary into the drawer. 0
 
Xiao Cheng pushed the door open and came in. 0
 
He looked at me, his eyes flickering slightly: "Duo'er, you're back." 0
 
I nodded, looking at him without saying a word. 0
 
Xiao Cheng walked over, sat down beside me, and reached out to ruffle my hair: "What's wrong? Feeling down?" 0
 
I shook my head and forced a smile: "No, just a bit tired." 0
 
Xiao Cheng hummed in response and didn't say anything more. 0
 
... 0
 
In recent days, Xiao Cheng had been coming home earlier. 0
 
 
That night, I finished my shower and sat on the bed reading a book. 0
 
Xiao Cheng suddenly leaned over and wrapped his arms around me. 0
 
I rested against his strong, broad chest, feeling his body heat as he held me while we read a melodramatic romance novel together. 0
 
When I saw the male lead help the female supporting character, and she slapped the female lead, Xiao Cheng's hand around my waist unconsciously tightened. 0
 
I pretended not to notice his unusual reaction and casually turned to the next page to continue reading. 0
 
Finally, I reached the last page of the novel. 0
 
I sighed in relief, closed the book, and placed it on the nightstand. 0
 
I looked up and found Xiao Cheng staring at me. 0
 
I felt a bit uneasy under his gaze and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?" 0
 
Xiao Cheng didn't say anything; instead, he lowered his head and gently kissed my lips. 0
 
The kiss was soft and lingering, like a feather brushing against my lips, making my heart race. 0
