She rubbed her red and swollen eyes in an attempt to stop crying, but her tears overflowed instead.

At that point in time, Xuxu was the closest person to her.

“Silly girl, why didn’t you tell me about such a huge matter?” Xuxu asked. Her eyes welled up in tears at the sight of Su Yue’s puffy eyes.

She entered and gave her a huge hug, lightly patting her back.

She really needed it—a hug that could bring her warmth and comfort.

Xuxu smelled a strong scent of alcohol on her and she hugged her even tighter.

She couldn’t find the words to comfort her. She was only used to encouragement.

She said, “It’ll all come to pass. You’re still young. It’ll be over in no time.”

She only had one choice: to get over him.

She would never allow Su Yue to be Ming Ansheng’s child’s stepmother.

She was only eighteen. She had a bright future ahead of her.

Su Yue nodded in between sobs.

She let go of Xuxu and haphazardly wiped her tears away. But her tears flowed endlessly, no matter how hard she tried.

Xuxu’s heart ached at the sight. It had only been a few days since she last saw her but she had lost a lot of weight.

“Let it all out. It’s okay,” Xuxu comforted, caressing her head.

Su Yue collapsed into Xuxu’s embrace and bawled until she had no more tears left.

Over the past four to five days, she cried secretly in the night, only bawling in the daytime when there was no one at home.

But she had never let it all out until today.

Perhaps it was psychological, but she felt much better after it.

Xuxu put on an apron and started cleaning up the mess on the coffee table.

Su Yue washed her face and combed her hair before leaving the washroom. Although her eyes were still puffy, she looked much better.

Xuxu put down the tablecloth and smiled. “I’ve called your third brother. He’ll be coming over with your brother later. I’ll be cooking.”

Su Yue nodded. “Okay, I’ll help you.”

Both of them entered the kitchen and retrieved all the ingredients from the fridge.

Su Yue was to wash the vegetables while Xuxu sliced them.

“Third sister-in-law, the potatoes you cut are so ugly,” Su Yue commented once she was done washing the vegetables.

Xuxu smiled. “This is already very good. I didn’t know how to cook before.”

Then she placed the knife down and started frying the vegetables.

Curious, Su Yue asked, “When did you learn how to cook?”

“I learned how to because your third brother frustrated me.”

Without even knowing it, Xuxu smiled as the memories floated back into her mind.

Su Yue asked, “How did he frustrate you?”

Xuxu replied, “When he was in university in B City, he didn’t stay in the dormitories. He rented an apartment and Fang Jiayin often went over to cook for him. He was incorrigible enough to invite me every time.”

These were her most painful and dreadful university memories, but when she recalled them today, it didn’t affect her at all.

Not a hint of sadness or heartache.

In fact, she found it slightly amusing.

Su Yue pursed her lips. “Why did you go? You didn’t have to.”

If it were her, she wouldn’t go for sure.
