Shirley’s voice turned cold.
"Do you know who I am? How dare you speak to me like that?"
Ruan Fuxi raised an eyebrow, surprised.
"Are you the Renminbi? Or is your memory just poor? You haven't even introduced yourself."
Shirley was infuriated. She turned to Sheng Yanzhou and said,
"Ah Zhou, how can she be so rude?"
Sheng Yanzhou withdrew his smiling gaze from Ruan Fuxi.
"Where's the rudeness? And if you keep calling me Ah Zhou, I wouldn't mind sending you abroad for a few more years."
"Wife is always right!"
Shirley pouted, still afraid of him, and reluctantly replied,
"I got it."
She had liked this man for a long time, but after all these years, there had been no result. He even found her annoying enough to have her father send her abroad for two years.
In this lifetime, Shirley thought she had moved on. But looking at Sheng Yanzhou's handsome face and noble demeanor, she realized she still liked him. It was just a pity that such a top-tier man in both looks and family background was destined for a short life. She should find another target.
Even so, Shirley still couldn't accept that Sheng Yanzhou liked someone else. He looked down on her but went out of his way to protect another woman.
Shirley had always been proud; she couldn't believe she was inferior to other women. With her outstanding family background and looks, no one could be better than her.
But when she glanced at Ruan Fuxi again, she felt that her once-proud beauty seemed insignificant in front of the other woman.
Shirley felt even more displeased and was about to say something to Ruan Fuxi when Sheng Yanzhou grew impatient.
"Leave."
The private space between herself and Xiao Xi was abruptly disrupted by an irrelevant person, and Sheng Yanzhou found her quite displeasing.
Seeing him upset, Cheng Qiting immediately took Shi Lili and left the room.
"Yanzhou, we’ll step out for a bit. We won’t disturb your meal at all." He said, kindly closing the door to the private room behind them.
Ruan Fuxi could still hear their voices as they spoke outside.
"Lili, you've become quite bold after two years abroad; you’re not even afraid of making Yanzhou angry. I can’t do that; I’m still scared."
Shi Lili asked him, "Who is that girl?"
Cheng Qiting replied, "I don’t know either."
Their voices faded away.
Ruan Fuxi rested her hands lightly on the table, her expression a mix of amusement and intrigue.
"Ah Zhou…"
Sheng Yanzhou felt as if he had done something wrong, even though he hadn’t done anything at all. He deeply reflected on the situation, concluding that next time he encountered someone like that, he should throw them out at least eight hundred meters away.
"Xiao Xi, her name is Shi Lili; she’s a friend of my dad’s. We lived close when we were kids, but other than that, I have no relationship with her."
Ruan Fuxi replied, "Oh, I see. But why are you explaining this to me?"
Sheng Yanzhou noticed the mischievous glint in her eyes and the indulgent look on his face.
"Because I’m developing a relationship with Xiao Xi online; I should keep my distance from other women."
"Only a man who upholds male virtue deserves a loving wife," Sheng Yanzhou added.
Ruan Fuxi raised an eyebrow, wanting to tease him further.
"Is it just an online relationship? Don’t you want to develop it in reality?"
"It’s not just that; whether online or in reality, there’s only you, Xiao Xi."
He felt anxious—if he confessed to Xiao Xi now, would she think he was being too forward?
