Chapter 33: Wang Xuekai Steals Love

It seems that in the year or more since they broke up, he had missed many things about her; he deeply regretted being greedy for Zhang Yuanyuan's body back then.

He admitted that he was a jerk, but he believed he was still young and not married; one had to date a few more times to know who the person they truly liked was.

Seeing that he didn't recognize anyone here, he was about to leave when a boy riding a bicycle came from the front. He looked closely—wasn't this Bai Shuruo's younger brother?

Bai Shuhua also saw Wang Xuekai. He braked, stepped one foot on the ground, and asked, "Aren't you my second sister's ex-boyfriend?"

When he was pursuing his second sister back then, he had also given gifts to Bai Shuhua.

Wang Xuekai said, "Yes. What is going on here? Why are so many strangers living here?"

Bai Shuhua glanced at the people in the courtyard and said, "They are people here to rent rooms."

"Forcing your second sister to marry, and then renting out the house? Aren't you and your mother being unkind?" Wang Xuekai said.

"??" Bai Shuhua was stunned by the question for a moment. "This is our family's business; it's none of your concern. What are you here for today? You know my second sister is married, yet you still come looking for her?"

Wang Xuekai said, "So Bai Shuruo really was forced by your mother to marry, right? You are her brother; she treats you so well, why didn't you stop it? You let her marry such a rough, old man?"

"??" Bai Shuhua was left dumbfounded by the question.

Far away at the construction site, Ali also sneezed.

If you sneeze, ah, that must mean someone is cursing you.

"Sick," Bai Shuhua cursed, then got back on his bike to return to the house, saying to the two old women walking children at the door, "Grandmas, that person outside is crazy; make sure not to let him into the house."

……

Wang Xuekai was met with a closed door and had no choice but to leave.

He was burning with anxiety at this moment, regretting that he had come to the Old Villa; he should have taken a taxi to follow Bai Shuruo's car and rescued her directly from the depths of misery.

But in the vast sea of people, where was he to find her?

Just as he was struggling with this, his phone vibrated; there was a WeChat message from Zhang Yuanyuan.

It was a coincidence; a wealthy best friend of Zhang Yuanyuan was having a birthday and was dining at this same restaurant today, and had also invited Zhang Yuanyuan.

When Zhang Yuanyuan went to the restroom, she happened to run into Bai Shuruo, who had just come out, but Bai Shuruo did not see her.

So, Zhang Yuanyuan immediately took a photo of Bai Shuruo's back.

Ever since seeing Bai Shuruo on the campus lawn that day, Zhang Yuanyuan knew that Wang Xuekai still liked Bai Shuruo; the reason he cheated was because Zhang Yuanyuan had offered herself while drunk on her birthday.

Although he was a bit resistant at first, didn't he fail to resist the temptation later, going from passive to active? He wanted her five times on the first night.

Afterwards, he said he would take responsibility for her, so he broke up with Bai Shuruo, and the two of them were secretly together for over half a year before going public.

But during these days of dating, Zhang Yuanyuan clearly felt that he was lacking in heart; apart from being interested in her body, he was indifferent the rest of the time.

Especially after knowing that Bai Shuruo was married, he was even more restless, feeling that it was because he had dumped her back then that she ended up marrying an old man.

Zhang Yuanyuan had sent photos of Bai Shuruo to him several times, the purpose being to make him give up; the old man had money, and Bai Shuruo was after the money—wasn't that quite good?

But Wang Xuekai's sense of guilt grew stronger and stronger, and later he truly proposed a breakup.

Zhang Yuanyuan sent the photo of Bai Shuruo at the Sky Restaurant to Wang Xuekai. Look, isn't the old man richer than you? How many years would you have to work to be able to bring her here for a meal?

As soon as Wang Xuekai saw the message, he immediately took a taxi to the Sky Restaurant.

……

In the private room.

Because of the two live wires Ling Feng and Ni Xianglei, the atmosphere of the meal was already very relaxed.

Bai Shuruo listened to them joking while eating.

Bai Shuruo also discovered that with these two brothers around, Han Yangting's smiles were much more frequent; although he didn't speak much, the corners of his mouth were turned up the entire evening.

The portions of the food here were so small—a huge plate with only a tiny bit of edible food in the middle. Seeing that she wasn't full, Han Yangting ordered a few more pastries for her.

Although Bai Shuruo felt the pinch of the cost, she had to admit that these pastries were truly delicious, much better than what she bought at the cake shop by the school gate, especially the tiramisu, which melted in the mouth and had a rich chocolate flavor.

Seeing this, Ling Feng acted spoiled and said, "Brother Han, I want to eat a little cake too."

Ni Xianglei also said, "Yeah, I want some too."

Han Yangting asked indifferently, "Since when did you two like desserts?"

"We didn't like them before, but seeing little sister-in-law eating so happily, it looks so delicious," Ling Feng continued to act spoiled.

Han Yangting, however, didn't buy it: "Then you can just watch."

Bai Shuruo, who was to the side, saw this and knew that because she was being a glutton, the two best friends were jealous. She hurriedly pushed the little cakes toward them: "You eat some too."

But Han Yangting pushed the plate back to Bai Shuruo without any room for argument: "Don't mind them, you eat yours."

"Oh my, Brother Han, you are so biased," Ling Feng said with a wronged expression.

Ni Xianglei said, "This is typical: having a partner, losing one's humanity."

Bai Shuruo thought to herself: You have it backwards; you two are the true loves of Brother Han.

So it turns out that when men get jealous, it is also quite terrifying.

……

This meal lasted until eight in the evening.

Han Yangting went to pay the bill, and Ling Feng and Ni Xianglei, fearing they would affect their time as a couple, slipped away first.

Bai Shuruo went to the first-floor lobby alone to wait.

Han Yangting had been drinking and couldn't drive; Ali would come to pick them up.

Just as she arrived at the lobby, someone in front suddenly shouted excitedly: "Bai Shuruo, you really are here!"

As soon as Bai Shuruo heard this voice, she felt her scalp tingle; why was this person like a lingering ghost?

Wang Xuekai rushed in excitedly, wanting to grab Bai Shuruo's shoulders, but was pushed away by Bai Shuruo in disgust.

Wang Xuekai didn't touch her then, only said excitedly: "Bai Shuruo, I know you were sold by your stepmother, right? Your stepmother sold you to an old man just to drive you out. This isn't the right decision. Come with me; I will go talk to that old man and make him let you go. If that doesn't work, we'll call the police."

Bai Shuruo widened her eyes: "What are you talking about?"

Is this person sick?
