nYan Rusheng read Jiang Zhuoheng’s reply and he narrowed his eyes suspiciously.

nHe asked: Wen Xuxu said that she wanted to pick you up?

nJiang Zhuoheng replied: Of course. Unlike you, she cares more about her friendships.

nTsk. Wen Xuxu, is your pride that worthless? So much for boasting that she’d put the past behind her.

nThe heartless guy had abandoned her in the past. Now that he was coming back, she couldn’t wait to reconcile with him again.

nThis was too embarrassing.

nBoss Yan instantly sent her a private message: Wen Xuxu, you couldn’t wait to throw yourself at Jiang Zhuoheng the minute he gets back?

nWen Xuxu had the group chat hidden hence there weren’t any notifications. But she did receive one from the private chats.

nHer cell phone vibrated and she rummaged in her bag to find it. The screen indicated a QQ message sent by Yan Rusheng.

nShe was puzzled for a second. She slid her finger across the screen and read the message from Yan Rusheng. Her expression darkened instantly.

nDoes that have anything to do with you? Wen Xuxu replied crudely.

nWhat had she done to express any desperation to throw herself at Jiang Zhuoheng? He’s being ridiculous.

nYan Rusheng replied: Of course it has nothing to do with me, but you’re my company’s employee. If I remember correctly, the second of next month is a Wednesday. We’re all swamped with work right now so I won’t allow any applications for leave nor taking time off work!

nWen Xuxu was speechless…

nThis fellow isn’t having a fever tonight, is he? When did she say that she was applying for leave or taking time off work?

nShe was feeling puzzled when her cell phone vibrated again. The message wasn’t from Yan Rusheng.

nShe glanced at the notification—the message was from Jiang Zhuoheng.

nDear Xuxu, I’m returning on the second of next month. You’ll pick me up at the airport, right?

nHe added a teeth-baring smiley emoticon at the end of the message.

nThe second of next month… Yan Rusheng had just mentioned this exact date too.

nYou can’t wait to throw yourself at Jiang Zhuoheng the minute he’s back.

nWen Xuxu understood the message in an instant and couldn’t help but smile.

nShe replied to Jiang Zhuoheng’s question: I’m afraid I can’t. The boss just informed me that he won’t permit me to apply for leave or take time off from work.

nJiang Zhuoheng must have tipped Yan Rusheng off, saying that she would be picking him up.

nYan Rusheng just couldn’t bear to see her well and happy. If Yan Rusheng and Xuxu got back together, she would have a justifiable reason to mock him for being jilted by Fang Jiayin.

nJiang Zhuoheng replied: As expected…

nWen Xuxu asked uncertainly: What do you mean by ‘as expected’?

nJiang Zhuoheng: Nothing much. You don’t have to pick me up but I’ll be expecting you to treat me.

nWen Xuxu: Of course. I’ll treat you to a lavish feast when you get back.

nJiang Zhuoheng smiled.

nAfter reaching home, Wen Xuxu showered and lay on her bed. She started watching her drama series.

nShe received a message notification from her cell phone. She glanced at the screen, it was from Jiang Zhuoheng.

nXuxu, go to the classmates’ group chat.

nClassmates’ group chat? Wen Xuxu’s eyebrows lifted for a moment with apprehension before she recalled the group chat she had with her middle school classmates. The participants in the group chat were all her close friends from middle school.

nShe’d hidden the group chat three years ago and had been inactive ever since.

nWhy was he suddenly messaging her to enter the group chat?

nA perplexed Wen Xuxu launched the QQ app and entered the classmates’ group chat. The second she entered, she saw a red packet.

nShe simply clicked on it without noticing the sender’s name.

nIt was a 520 1 red packet.

nAfter snatching the red packet, she realized that Jiang Zhuoheng had sent it. Did this fellow message her just so she’d snatch the red packet? Besides, it was a huge 520 red packet.

nAs she considered this, her face blushed slightly.
