Jian Yiyi was confident in herself thus, she was certain that something must have gone wrong with her man and nothing else. So, she rushed to the Xing Carpentry shop full of concern and worry for her lover but as she walked past the carpentry shop and entered the alley next to it, headed to the usual spot where she used to meet her lover. Jian Yiyi found an incredible scene playing in front of her, her lover whom she trusted and loved so much was actually hugging another woman as he teased and pinched her here and there, the sight seemed to have burnt itself in her mind as she let out a hair raising scream, ” XIAO WU!”
The man called Xiao Wu jumped and so did the woman in his arms, and in synchronisation, the two turned to look at Jian Yiyi who was panting with rage. Seeing Jian Yiyi standing in front of him, Xiao Wu’s face blanched. ‘ what the hell? What was this woman doing here? Shouldn’t she have been sold off to another human trader by now?’
These were Xiao Wu’s thoughts but he obviously didn’t say them out loud, instead of saying anything that might cause misunderstanding between his lover and him, he hurriedly cleared his throat and shouted back. ” Who are you? Why are you screaming my name?”
When Jian Yiyi heard this, she felt like the sky has fallen on her. Was this man serious? She lost her livelihood because of him and now he was in the arms of another woman and actually dared to ask her, who she was?
But Jian Yiyi was a woman not to be trifled with either, she was someone who could love someone to death and lift them to high heavens but she was also very clear-headed when she was bent on taking revenge. She sneered as she rolled her sleeves, ” who am I? Haha, do you think that I, Jian Yiyi, am someone you can play with Xiao Wu? If you are not going to think about me, then just wait! I will not let you have a good life either.” With that, she flung her sleeves around and turned to leave but just as she took three steps, two men who were hiding in the shadows came out.
” Ah, Xiao Wu… you have been hiding yourself so well, I was going to get bored to death while looking for you,” said Lin Yu as he limped over to the thin and dark man, his lips bent in a cruel sneer. ” You did a damn good job but too bad, in the end, you were caught by us.”
Xiao Wu’s eyes spurned as he took a step back and plastered a flattering smile. ” Master …masters, I .. . I don’t understand what you are trying to say? Hide? Why will I hide? I didn’t do anything wrong haha—”
Though he was saying this, sweat was dripping down his forehead. He didn’t think that he would be caught, several servants were working in the shop and as long as Jian Yiyi kept her mouth shut in the fear of getting caught, everything would have drowned under dust, but this woman! She just had to ruin this for him, can’t she stay in her servant’s quarters and just bow her head low?
Lin Rui smiled as he gently walked over to Xiao Wu and dipped his head so that he was staring right in the eyes of the culprit who has snatched the sleep from their nights. ” Don’t worry we help you remember everything.” Then he snapped the half-moon fan in his hands close and chopped it right at Xiao Wu’s neck. The latter slumped against him as Lin Rui helped him up, then turning to the woman next to him, he softly whispered with a smile, ” Young missy, I hope that when you go out, you will very patiently and nicely explain to the workers in the shop that your dear Xiao Wu caught a bug in his stomach and ended up getting diarrhoea.”
” Of course, you can shout for help,” said Lin Yu from behind her with a sunny smile on his face like a little cute bunny. However, the next second that sunny smile turned to a thin, threatening smile. ” if you wish to suffer along with him.”
The woman liked Xiao Wu because the man was swift, smart and had a nice salary. Though her fondness for him wasn’t small it hasn’t exceeded to the level where she would be willing to live and die with him and what was more she was more and less assured that something was going on between Xiao Wu and the girl who just came rushing to confront him, even if Xiao Wu refused to admit that he knew the girl with tactfully, the woman wasn’t a fool either. Seeing that Xiao Wu has done something so stupid as to offend someone he shouldn’t have, she hurriedly nodded and ran out of the alley.
Lin Rui and Lin Yu didn’t pay any attention to that woman with one glance they knew that the woman was a smart one, she wouldn’t make a rookie mistake such as screaming and grabbing the attention for a man who wasn’t even loyal to her.
