The girl lifted her head to look at the person she had bumped into. Staring at the familiar face in front of her, she was stunned for a few seconds before excitedly putting down her Snowball and stepping forward to grab her hand, saying, “Xinya, I didn’t expect to see you here!”
Sometimes fate is truly incredible. She had been disappointed for not seeing her last night, and now she unexpectedly encountered her under such circumstances...
“Wushuang, is that really you? I waited for you for so long last night, but I didn’t see you. I thought something had happened to you!” After confirming that the person in front of her was indeed Wushuang, An Xin Ya broke into a happy smile.
Yan Wushuang listened to her words and recalled what had happened last night. Suddenly, she didn’t know what to say. Standing silently in front of her, the mood she had just managed to gather fell apart again, and with red-rimmed eyes, she began to quietly sob...
An Xin Ya’s keen hearing detected that Wushuang seemed to be crying. She nervously tightened her grip on Wushuang’s hands and furrowed her brow, asking, “Wushuang, what’s wrong? Are you crying? What happened? Why are you here?”
“Xinya... Wuwuwu...” The concerned inquiry made Yan Wushuang feel even worse inside. Gently calling her name, she leaned onto her shoulder.
An Xin Ya instinctively felt that something must have happened to her last night. She comforted Wushuang by the roadside for a long time before taking her back to her home to settle down.
“Wushuang, don’t be sad. Since you don’t want to go home right now, why don’t you stay at my place for a few days? My home is quite simple; I hope you can get used to it. If there’s anywhere uncomfortable, just let me know.” She cherished this friendship with Wushuang. To be honest, aside from a few friends from the orphanage, no one else wanted to be friends with her.
However, as they all grew older, those friends became busy with their lives and rarely kept in touch. It was just her and her grandmother relying on each other.
“Xinya, who are you talking to?” An elderly woman around sixty years old walked out of the room. Hearing voices outside, she curiously came out to take a look.
As soon as she stepped out, she saw a captivatingly beautiful and pure girl, making her even more curious about who this girl was and why she was with her granddaughter.
Upon hearing her grandmother's voice, An Xin Ya hurriedly got up and followed the sound until she reached her grandmother. Grabbing her hand excitedly, she introduced, “Grandma, this is Miss Wushuang, the one I mentioned to you last time!”
Yan Wushuang wiped her face and immediately felt a bit embarrassed as she stood up and apologized sincerely to the elderly woman in front of her, saying, “I’m sorry, Grandma. Did I wake you up too early? I’m really sorry!”
Grandma An looked over Yan Wushuang, who was indeed a very beautiful young lady and well-mannered. She felt very pleased that her granddaughter could have such a friend.
"Miss Wushuang, right? Don't be shy, please sit down. I've been awake for a while, just curious because I heard Xinya talking to someone, so I came out to take a look. It's all good, it's still early, and I guess you haven't had breakfast yet? Why don't you join us for a meal?" The grandmother was very warm; this was her granddaughter's friend, and she certainly couldn't neglect her.
"Grandma, Wushuang had a fight with her family and has nowhere to go right now. Can I let her stay with us for a few days?" Xinya held onto her grandmother's hand, which was about to leave, with a pleading look.
The grandmother turned back to glance at Wushuang's slightly swollen eyes and seemed to understand the situation. Wushuang felt a bit embarrassed under the grandmother's gaze and lowered her head.
"Alright, Miss Wushuang, you can stay as long as you want. However, even though you had a fight, your family still needs to know where you are. Otherwise, they'll surely worry about your sudden departure," Grandma An reminded her with a smile before turning to head into the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
Xinya enthusiastically led Wushuang to her room, maintaining a smile as she faced her. "Wushuang, see? My grandma has already agreed. You can stay here peacefully for now. As for why you left home, whenever you're ready to tell me, I'll be your best listener!"
"Um... thank you, Xinya!" Wushuang tightly grasped her hand. If she hadn't accidentally bumped into Xinya earlier, she really wouldn't know where she could go.
Meanwhile, Yan Wushuang's sudden disappearance left the usually calm Rafas in disarray. He almost dispatched everyone he could find to search for her in every street and alley.
Today’s weather was particularly hot and stuffy. Rafas couldn't sit still in the car and personally got out to wander the streets of Las Vegas, searching everywhere for her whereabouts...
"Lefas, I'm sorry; it's all my fault for speaking out of turn. Now it's turned into this; everything is my mistake!" Faisal accompanied him under the scorching sun, searching street by street.
"Don't say useless things right now; just find out where she is. That would be the best compensation for me!" He was solely focused on finding her and had no time to discuss anything else.
On the streets of Las Vegas, many men in black suits appeared everywhere, all with one goal in mind. Rafas had also issued an order: whoever found his wife first would receive a reward of one million dollars!
"Ding..." Rafas's phone rang; that guy Shouya finally decided to contact him.
"Lefas, stop searching; I know where Wushuang is. But I advise you not to go looking for her just yet; let me talk to her first!" Solomon's satellite positioning system had never been wrong before. When Shouya saw the coordinates being precisely pinpointed, he was genuinely shocked that Wushuang was at An Xinya's house.
Hearing that Shouya had found her, Rafas finally breathed a sigh of relief. But asking him not to see her for the time being was clearly tormenting him.
"Is she safe now?" After hesitating for a moment, he thought that if she was indeed safe and sound, he could resist the urge to see her for a few hours.
"Don't worry, Wushuang is at my female friend's house. I'll go check on her situation right now, just wait for my call!" Shouya didn't elaborate much; as soon as he finished speaking, he hung up the phone and rushed towards Xinya's house.
All that could be heard on the other end was the busy signal. That bastard actually dared to hang up on him! At this critical moment, Rafas became furious but didn't dare to smash his phone. What if that brat called him back later and he couldn't answer?
Yan Wushuang was visiting at Xinya's house. With no appetite at all, she forced herself to finish the shredded pork noodles that Grandma had specially made for her. She was a sensible person; since she was a guest in someone else's home, no matter how many excuses she had, she shouldn't waste their kindness!
"Grandma, I'm full. Your breakfast is really delicious! I envy Xinya for being able to eat your homemade food every day!" She shook off her gloomy expression and smiled at her grandmother.
"If you like it, you should come over more often!" Grandma An genuinely liked Wushuang; she was well-mannered and respectful towards her elder, and most importantly, she didn't have the airs of a spoiled rich girl.
"Ding dong..." Just as Yan Wushuang was about to respond, there was an urgent ringing at the door.
"I'll go open the door." Xinya skillfully walked along the wall to the door and quietly asked the person outside, "Who is it?"
"Xinya, it's me! Open the door quickly!" Shouya shouted as he drove over in a hurry.
Hearing Brother Shouya's voice, she quickly opened the door for him. As soon as Shouya stepped inside, he immediately asked in her ear, "Is Wushuang at your house?"
Xinya nodded, instantly impressed by him. How did Brother Shouya know that Wushuang was at her place when she hadn't told anyone?
As Shouya took a couple of steps inside, he saw Wushuang's Snowball quietly guarding its owner nearby. He picked it up and walked into the inner room.
Yan Wushuang thought it was someone else when she saw Brother Shouya appear, but she wasn't very surprised. Given Xinya's relationship with Brother Shouya, he would eventually find out she was hiding here!
"Brother Shouya, you’re here..." Wushuang obediently stood up as Grandma An cleared the dishes and went into the kitchen, leaving the young ones to spend time together.
Shouya held Snowball in one arm and took Xinya's hand with the other, settling down before handing Snowball back to Wushuang. He said calmly, "I already know about your situation with Lefas. You can't blame him entirely; that incident indeed hurt all of us, especially Lefas!"
Yan Wushuang took back her Snowball and gently stroked her white fur. "Brother Shouya, please don’t say anymore. You don’t understand how I feel right now!"
"No... I understand your feelings very well. I know what you're thinking better than anyone else. Even the side of you that Lefas can't comprehend, I can see clearly!"
An Xinya quietly sat on the sofa, listening to their conversation...
"I know you agreed to marry Lefas out of necessity. You accepted him and have struggled with it in your heart. If it weren't for your circumstances, everything about you would have already belonged to Lefas. I believe your choice would still be Yamamoto Ryuichi, right?" Shouya asked directly.
In ancient times, women valued their chastity above all else, even life itself. Her body already belonged to Lefas, and she was even pregnant with his child. According to traditional views, regardless of love, they had to marry.
Yan Wushuang didn't know how to respond to his question as she looked into his watery eyes, feeling helpless...
"On the day of the wedding, I saw the changes in your expression and knew you had made your final decision in your heart and were ready to accept Lefas. That day, you ruthlessly severed Yamamoto Ryuichi's feelings for you and prepared to start anew, centering your life around Lefas!" Shouya analyzed for her bit by bit, helping her recognize her own thoughts once again.
Brother Shouya's words seemed very accurate; it appeared he truly understood her best!
