Chapter 1732

"That's great! I'm just ordinary friends with Zexuan!"

Ximen Wudi said casually, but inside he muttered: You dirty pervert!

After Ximen Wudi finished speaking, he saw a flicker of disappointment on Lin Mu's face.

"Really?"

Lin Mu asked coldly.

"Yes!"

Ximen Wudi nodded.

Lin Mu fell silent for a moment, then said: "Then your father and I are relieved. Hurry and eat, or the food will get cold."

Lin Fu echoed her.

"Yes, Momo, eat up. You've been under a lot of study pressure lately, right? Take care of your health!"

"I will!"

Ximen Wudi gave a vague reply, feeling an inexplicable irritation rising.

She truly hated having her thoughts controlled, especially by elders who always forced her to do things she didn't want to do.

When would this kind of life ever end?

As she thought about it, Ximen Wudi couldn't help but sigh.

Seeing Ximen Wudi's expression, Lin Fu and Lin Mu exchanged a glance, then both fell silent in unison.

After eating her fill, Ximen Wudi went straight to the bathroom, took a shower, then climbed into bed to sleep.

"Tap tap tap!"

At that moment, a knock came from the door.

"Come in!"

"Momo, are you asleep?"

Lin Fu's voice came from the doorway. Ximen Wudi turned over, sat up, and said: "Not yet. What is it?"

"Nothing much. Dad just wants to chat with you."

"Come in, Dad!"

After Ximen Wudi spoke, Lin Fu pushed the door open, holding a plate of fruit and a can of beer.

"Momo, these are new fruits and beer I bought. Try them—see if they suit your taste!"

Lin Fu said, handing the bag of fruit to Ximen Wudi.

Ximen Wudi took it, opened the packaging, peeled an orange, then handed one segment to Lin Fu.

"Thank you, Momo!"

Lin Fu smiled broadly and immediately ate the orange segment.

"What's wrong with you lately? You seem so gloomy all the time."

"I'm fine. Just tired lately. I want to rest early—tomorrow I have to go to school."

Hearing Ximen Wudi's words, a flicker of worry crossed Lin Fu's brow.

He knew his daughter had never suffered hardship since childhood, so he was deeply concerned for her safety.

"Dad, don't worry about me. I'm fine."

Seeing Lin Fu's worried expression, Ximen Wudi spoke to reassure him.

Seeing this, Lin Fu nodded.

"Good. If anything troubles you, tell Dad. Don't keep it bottled up inside."

"I know, I will!"

Hearing Ximen Wudi's promise, Lin Fu let out a breath of relief.

"By the way, Momo, tomorrow is Friday. I want to take your mom and your younger siblings to a class reunion. You should come too, okay?"

Hearing Lin Fu's words, Ximen Wudi paused slightly, then replied:

"I… I'd better not."

At Ximen Wudi's words, a trace of regret passed over Lin Fu's face.

"How about this—I'll find an excuse to decline for you. What do you think?"

"This…"

Ximen Wudi hesitated.

Today was her birthday—if she skipped the class reunion too, wouldn't that seem terribly rude?

"Fine, I'll agree."

"Good, it's settled then."

Saying this, Lin Fu handed the remaining orange segment to Ximen Wudi.

"Momo, eat your orange!"

Ximen Wudi took it and bit into it.

"Mm, it's sweet."

"Really? Let me try too!"

Saying this, Lin Fu took another piece of orange and ate it.

As Ximen Wudi chewed the orange, she watched Lin Fu and Lin Mu, silently sighing inwardly, filled with boundless melancholy.

After dinner, Ximen Wudi sat on the living room sofa, watching TV.

These past few days, she had unconsciously thought of Ye Zexuan—his smile and his kiss kept flashing in her mind.

This left Ximen Wudi extremely troubled.

But then again, Ximen Wudi figured she was overthinking it—after all, she was already carrying Qin Zexuan's child, so how could she possibly still fall for Ye Zexuan!

"Ring ring ring!"

Just as Ximen Wudi was wildly guessing what Ye Zexuan was up to, her phone suddenly rang.

Hearing the pleasant ringtone, Ximen Wudi immediately picked up the phone, glanced at the caller ID, and pressed the answer button right away.

"Hello? Hi!"

"Momo, it's your best buddy, Su Fei!"

"Hi, Su Fei, what's up?"

"Do you have time to go out and have fun with me?"

"Go out? Where are you? Let me come find you!"

"At the little park near the school, let's meet at the place the two of us agreed on!"

Hearing Su Fei's invitation, Ximen Wudi thought it over, then agreed.

So Ximen Wudi got dressed, grabbed her wallet and car keys, and headed for the door.

"Momo, why are you only coming out now?"

Just as she stepped out of the stairwell, she saw Su Fei standing outside the door, surrounded by a group of her shady friends.

"I had some stuff going on, so I'm a little late!"

An apologetic look crossed Su Fei's face, and then she grabbed Ximen Wudi and headed toward her car.

Ximen Wudi was pulled along by Su Fei, walking toward the car.

Along the way, the group kept asking Su Fei about Ximen Wudi, and Ximen Wudi patiently explained everything.

The whole crew set off grandly toward the school.

When they reached the little park, Ximen Wudi spotted Su Fei's sapphire-blue Ferrari sports car from afar.

"Su Fei, how come you got here so early today?"

"You're so heartless! I specifically came to pick you up, and yet you actually got here before me—did you do it on purpose to mess with me?"

Su Fei's tone carried a hint of complaint.

Hearing Su Fei's complaint, Ximen Wudi burst out laughing.

"Haha, Su Fei, sorry about that!"

"Hmph!"

Su Fei gave a little huff, then reached out and patted Ximen Wudi on the shoulder.
