Yan Rusheng was momentarily confused before he comprehended which woman Xuxu was referring to. He shook his head. “Anyway, she isn’t as pretty as my wife.”

Xuxu ignored his remark and began to get all worked up. “How can she be so heartless? What attracted First Uncle to her? Was it her beauty?”

Yan Rusheng smiled. Instead of giving her an answer, he asked, “If she didn’t catch First Uncle’s eye, there wouldn’t be anyone to address you as Third sister-in-law.”

Xuxu’s anger bubbled in the pit of her stomach. She glared at Yan Rusheng. “Men are all the same. They are all horrible jerks.”

Young Master Yan refused to agree with her statement. “What was that song? Out of ten men, seven are fools, the eighth one is dumb and ninth is bad. Everyone loves the last one. I’m that last one.”

Xuxu smiled at his joke. “You can never be serious. Indeed, you’re well-loved by everyone. Actresses, models—let me count.”

She counted her fingers.

Young Master Yan turned solemn. How he wished he could erase all of those memories. He frowned and turned to Xuxu to clarify. “Actually, I didn’t even hold their hands at all.”

“Sounds like you have regretted your past actions?” Xuxu lifted an eyebrow and teased him. “President Yan, do you want me to contact them? Do you want Miss Ouyang tonight? Or perhaps Miss Lee? Or—”

Xuxu couldn’t finish her question when he suddenly stopped the car. He caught Xuxu by surprise when he inched towards her and gave her a light kiss on the cheek. “I want Miss Wen.”

His soft lips brought her an instant cooling sensation. It made Xuxu’s heartbeat skip a beat. When she snapped out of her daze, she realized they had reached a traffic junction.

She turned her head and saw the man licking his lips as though he was longing for more. “Yan Rusheng, can you be serious? You’re being so silly. Aren’t you supposed to be cold and aloof?”

She raised her chin and spun her head away from him.

Both of them bickered along the way and yet flirted with each other. Time quickly passed and they somehow forgot how far their destination was.

Su Yue wore a set of a white sweatshirt with black pants. She paired it with a pair of pink Nike track shoes. She tied her hair into a ponytail and it made her look refreshing and cheerful at a glimpse.

Xuxu flashed a relieved smile.

The car stopped in front of Su Yue and Xuxu opened the window to wave at Su Yue. “Yueyue, get in.”

“Third sister-in-law.” Su Yue beamed when she saw Xuxu. She opened the back door, and after she had sat in, she glanced at Yan Rusheng. “Third Brother.”

Her voice sounded sweet and clear.

It startled Yan Rusheng that he couldn’t believe his ears. This girl greeted him?

Xuxu nudged him. “Yueyue is calling you.”

Young Master Yan snapped to his senses and realized that he heard nothing wrong. He nodded at her.

He started his engine once more and turned on the radio.

A cheerful song was playing, and after the song had ended, an advertisement played.

‘On 1st of May, the Prince of Angelic Voice would be meeting you at the capital city stadium. We have a date with him…’

Xuxu heard the date and seemed to recall something. She spun her head to glance at Su Yue. “Yueyue, it’s your birthday next month. What birthday present do you want?”

Su Yue pressed her lips and hesitated before answering. “I just want a cake. A big cake with many layers.”
