Chapter 1830: Chapter 756: Green Tea_2

"Hey, Xiaoxi, why don’t you just hit me? I shouldn’t have been so nosy and brought up your sad stuff..."

Xu Wanting, however, was skeptical.

"Really, when he came back to Qin Island for the New Year, he invited me to dinner. He already has a new partner, and I’m quite happy for him."

"Huh?"

Xu Wanting stared into Ji Xiaoxi’s eyes, noticing that her expression was sincere, she couldn’t help but feel suspicious. "But recently, I seem to have seen you zone out more than once. You clearly have something on your mind..."

"It’s not because of Chen He, it’s because of—"

Ji Xiaoxi’s words came to an abrupt halt, and as her childhood friend, Xu Wanting immediately sensed something.

"Oh my, is there... another man?"

Xu Wanting couldn’t hide her excitement. "Xiaoxi, you never told me you’ve had a second relationship... Wait, didn’t you just break up with Chen He not long ago? You couldn’t have cheated, right?"

Xu Wanting was just joking while speaking. In her mind, Ji Xiaoxi was akin to a Saintess because of her strict upbringing and beliefs, making her purer than kindergartners. Never mind cheating, she even doubted whether Ji Xiaoxi and Chen He ever slept together during their relationship.

But Ji Xiaoxi’s unusual silence gradually made her stop laughing.

"..."

"Xiaoxi, you... you’re not serious, are you? Did you really...?"

Xu Wanting asked, dumbfounded.

"Don’t ask, Wanting, I don’t want to talk about it."

Seeing Ji Xiaoxi turn her head, Xu Wanting felt shocked inside.

She knew that Xiaoxi wasn’t good at lying. This behavior was as good as nodding to confirm it.

Oh my gosh...

Though burning with curiosity and eager for gossip, and wonder about what kind of man could make Ji Xiaoxi lower her moral standards, Xu Wanting didn’t press further seeing Xiaoxi unwilling to talk, only diverting the topic:

"Why haven’t we arrived yet? I thought it wasn’t far!"

"Are you sure you didn’t get the wrong address?"

Ji Xiaoxi, having calmed down a bit, joked, "Or maybe that man named Yang Hao gave you a fake address?"

"He wouldn’t dare!"

Xu Wanting huffed, "Last time we went to the private screening, he had his hands inside my clothes. If he dares to trick me, I’ll report him for harassing women!"

Ji Xiaoxi frowned upon hearing this, "You two... you’ve already reached that level? But I remember you said he has a partner?"

"So what?"

Xu Wanting had an indifferent look, "Until they’re really married, who knows who they truly like... These long-distance relationships are unreliable, and being together for so long, he probably can’t even get it up for his girlfriend!"

"Wanting—"

"Alright, alright, I know you don’t like this kind of joke, I’m just teasing you!"

Xu Wanting giggled.

"Anyway, don’t you really need to let him know?"

Ji Xiaoxi still felt uneasy, "Your relationship is still ambiguous, should you really just show up at his shop without notice?"

"It’s all about the unexpected."

Xu Wanting raised her eyebrow, "He recently seems to be avoiding me, saying it’s because of some issues with the shop. I want to see if he’s lying... Xiaoxi, you have no idea, his shop is full of young college girls. Who knows what he’s up to every day..."

While Xu Wanting was rambling, the taxi soon stopped at the entrance of an old alley.

The two girls got off the car and quickly found the place. In fact, the most eye-catching store in the old alley is the two pet farewell societies.

However, not only are the two stores different in size, but their business seems worlds apart. Across the street, the Coastal Farewell Society is bustling with people, and there’s a girl in a short skirt cosplaying as a cat or dog, handing out flyers to passersby, while the Wanghai Farewell Society on the other side looks almost deserted.

"Is this Yang Hao’s shop? Business seems a bit bleak..."

Ji Xiaoxi curiously glanced around.

Xu Wanting was about to say something when the glass door of the Wanghai Farewell Society opened, and a tall, long-legged woman with explosive curves, seemingly well acquainted, walked out with another man seeing her off.

Though the woman’s appearance was extremely sexy, her facial features beneath the frameless glasses looked serious, giving her an understated sense of abstinence. There was obvious worry between her brows, although it wasn’t clear what was troubling her.

The man behind her was dressed in a suit, with an air of faux seriousness, yet he seemed to treat her with much respect, constantly grinning and explaining something.

Seeing this scene, Xu Wanting was immediately enraged, and stormed ahead without saying a word.

"Yang Hao, what are you doing, who’s this woman?!"

Yang Hao, who was talking to the woman, seemed stunned for a moment. Seeing Liu Rushuang’s face turn cold as he was pointed at, Yang Hao became a bit flustered.

"Sister Liu, sorry, this is my friend, she didn’t know your identity and might have misunderstood..."

"What friend, Yang Hao, clarify, am I just your friend now?"

Xu Wanting sneered.

"Wanting, don’t make a scene, she’s my client..."

"What client, look at you two just now with those looks—"

"Xu Wanting!"

Yang Hao suddenly growled, momentarily calming the relentless Xu Wanting.

"Sister Liu, I’m really sorry, you go ahead, Brother Dog just went out, I don’t know where he went, when he returns I’ll have him call you, okay?"

Yang Hao switched back to a smile, explaining to Liu Rushuang.

"Okay."

Liu Rushuang glanced at Xu Wanting one last time, said nothing, turned and sat in the BMW car, started the vehicle, and drove away.

After Liu Rushuang’s car disappeared around the corner, Yang Hao breathed a sigh of relief, turning to see Xu Wanting on the verge of tears.

"Wanting, really, I’ve told you she’s just my client..."

Yang Hao was both reluctant and indeed a bit upset.

"It’s okay, I was being unreasonable. I don’t know why, but I care so much, just seeing you talk to other pretty women makes me feel like I’m going crazy. It’s all my fault, I shouldn’t have such a strong sense of possession."

Xu Wanting wiped her tears, saying aggrievedly, "I shouldn’t have come to you unannounced, I was just missing you too much, couldn’t hold it... You had every right to yell at me. Well, you carry on, when you’re done maybe spare some time for me, okay?"

With that, Xu Wanting turned to leave.

Yang Hao couldn’t take it, his anger dissipated instantly. He hurriedly grabbed Xu Wanting, feeling overwhelmed with guilt:

"Hey, Wanting, it’s my fault, I shouldn’t have snapped at you... That woman really has nothing to do with me, she’s actually Brother Dog’s girlfriend... Um, so you get it?"

"Brother Dog?"

Xu Wanting stopped her tears, blinking as she said: "Is that your partner, your best buddy? Can you introduce me to him?"

"Well..."

Yang Hao vaguely knew Zhou Wang probably didn’t like Xu Wanting, so he hesitated.

"Is it difficult?"

Xu Wanting’s face darkened, "It’s okay, let’s wait for another suitable occasion then."

"There’s nothing difficult about it, since you’re here, I must introduce you!"

Yang Hao quickly said, and glanced just in time to see a small electric scooter slowly approaching from the end of the street. He pointed over, smiling: "Speak of Brother Dog and he appears, there, that’s Zhou Wang, my best buddy!"
