She was never one to pester men, but upon seeing him hugging another woman so intimately, it felt as though her heart had been stabbed by a knife and was now bleeding profusely.
…
In the hotel, what was supposed to be a couple’s candlelight dinner now turned into a three-person affair, with each having their own trouble.
Mu Yazhe was actually feeling somewhat nervous. From time to time, he would glance at his wife sitting next to him, wondering if she was holding any wrong idea about them after witnessing that scene. He had deliberately introduced her to his old acquaintance to prevent the two women from having any wrong ideas.
To be honest, he was quite astonished to encounter this lady here in Italy, for he had forgotten that the girl whom he was fond of in his youth was staying in this faraway land.
His feelings for her were pure and innocent; he liked her, so he dreamed of marrying her and living happily ever after with her when they grew up, just like how it was in fairytales. That adoration, however, faded along with his memories of her.
Unlike how he was an indelible mark in her heart, his memories of her had gradually washed away along with that plane to Italy.
Meanwhile, Rong Xuan, who was sitting at the table, cut her steak into neat, bite-size cubes before shoving the meat into her mouth with full focus as if she could lessen the tension in the air by doing so. Unfortunately, no matter how delicious the steak was, it felt like she was chewing on wax.
Yun Shishi took a long look at the woman, then shifted her gaze onto the man next to her while quietly cutting and eating the steak on her plate absent-mindedly.
Amid the thick tension, she finally broke the silence by asking, “Aren’t you going to make formal introductions, hubby?”
Her question pulled Mu Yazhe out of his reverie and he looked up at her.
“Rong Xuan.”
“You’ve already told me her name. Have you forgotten about that?” she said, adding, “Isn’t there anything else you can tell me about her apart from her name?”
These words came out a bit unfriendly!
It was obvious that she detested this woman named Rong Xuan. Women were extremely sensitive creatures, and it was even more so for the actress. Even a fool could see that the way the unannounced visitor looked at her man was different!
She clearly adored him in a way she was not happy about.
After all, which woman could tolerate sharing a table and eating a meal with her love rival?
None! Not even for a second!
It was why gunpowder filled the air the moment the actress opened her mouth.
Her husband could tell that as well, but just when he was about to speak, Rong Xuan smiling said, “I apologize for my abrupt intrusion. After being apart for more than ten years, I was just too happy to meet Zhe again, so I couldn’t contain myself. For that, I express my sincerest apologies!”
After a pause, the latter turned toward the former shyly. “I’m really delighted and lucky to have met my childhood sweetheart again! I totally didn’t expect this!”
Childhood sweetheart?
What a jarring term!
Her heart skipped a beat!
They were childhood sweethearts?!
Her expression turned slightly frigid as she felt somewhat upset!
