Yu Sangwan didn’t have to wait long, as Tang Yueze arrived even faster than she expected.
"Miss Yu!" Tang Yueze didn’t look very well, but when his gaze fell on Yu Sangwan, there was an inexplicable sense of relief.
Yu Sangwan thought about her reason for coming, "Mr. Tang, I..."
"Miss Yu." Tang Yueze, unaware of her purpose, was focused on his own concerns, "Could I trouble you to help find the young master?"
Yu Sangwan was surprised by his words, "Jinxuan, he... what’s happened?"
"Ah." Tang Yueze sighed and shook his head, "The young master hasn’t been back to the Original House much lately."
He paused and pointed to Donghua Mansion, "...and hasn’t co here either."
"..." Yu Sangwan didn’t know what to say; in truth, her mind was full of questions. What on earth had happened to Lu Jinxuan?
Just then, the driver drove up and stopped in front of them.
Tang Yueze quickly opened the car door, "Miss Yu, would you like to get in?"
Yu Sangwan hesitated but still got in the car. On one hand, she couldn’t let go of Lu Jinxuan, and on the other, if she was to ask for help, she should at least et the real deal, right?
Tang Yueze got into the front passenger seat and instructed the driver, "To Tangchi Cottage."
"Yes, Mr. Tang."
...
Tangchi Cottage.
The large estate was devoid of servants, the hot spring pool in the yard bubbling with steam. The glass door leading to the living room was wide open, and the air was filled with a mix of incense and alcohol. Several bottles lay scattered on the ground, and a glass of unfinished wine sat on the coffee table.
Sunlight stread in, and on the sofa, Lu Jinxuan slowly opened his eyes, shielding them with his hand.
"Ugh..."
Lu Jinxuan’s head ached, and he stared at the ceiling in silence for a mont, suddenly cursing, "SHIT!"
"Ah..."
He then sighed and sat up. He hadn’t slept all night, having only just dozed off like that, struggling with sleep and barely resting. His shirt was slightly open, faintly revealing his muscular chest.
Feeling quite thirsty, Lu Jinxuan grabbed the wine glass from the table and took a sip.
"Hiss..."
Lu Jinxuan grimaced, curling his lips bitterly, "Lu Jinxuan, are you really not coming back? Is it so painful? It’s just a woman who abandoned you..."
That woman neither possessed extraordinary beauty nor was gentle in character; being with her ant he often had to compromise.
"Heh... Lu Jinxuan, you truly have peculiar tastes."
Lu Jinxuan muttered to himself, suddenly covering his head with his hand, looking pained, "Please, co back! Let go, let yourself go... I didn’t an to stay in your body, uh, I’m suffering too!"
Footsteps sounded outside, and with his sharp senses, Lu Jinxuan imdiately looked up, on alert.
"Jinxuan..." A soft, feminine voice ca from outside the door.
Lu Jinxuan frowned, who was this? It wasn’t Yu Sangwan... he could still recognize Yu Sangwan’s voice.
The cottage here was too casual, the door wasn’t even locked.
Mu Qinglan had easily made her way in after learning that Lu Jinxuan hadn’t been back to the Original House these days but was staying here. How could she miss such an opportunity? She was sneaking in when suddenly a voice sounded behind her.
"Who are you?"
Mu Qinglan paused, hesitatingly turning around. Standing before her was a woman as bright and vibrant as sumr flowers, Gong Xueyan.
Having rushed over from the Holy City, Gong Xueyan had called Mrs. Lu as soon as she got off the plane and, learning that Lu Jinxuan was here, wasted no ti in hurrying over. She didn’t know why, but ever since she t Lu Jinxuan in Antarctica, she was completely captivated.
This man was her fiancé, and she had to win his heart!
Unexpectedly, upon entering the cottage, she encountered another woman!
Gong Xueyan’s sharp gaze fell on Mu Qinglan, her appearance average... at least not as attractive as Yu Sangwan. But thinking it over, she felt better. It seed Lu Jinxuan wasn’t all that into Yu Sangwan; otherwise, why would there be other won?
Mu Qinglan hadn’t t Gong Xueyan, but her aura was overwheld.
She stamred, "Who... who are you?"
"Hmph." Gong Xueyan sneered, "I’m Lu Jinxuan’s fiancée."
"..." Mu Qinglan was suddenly stunned, "Ah?"
"Hmph." Gong Xueyan was pleased with her reaction and imdiately felt that this woman was not to be feared compared to Yu Sangwan.
Gong Xueyan couldn’t be bothered with her, walked inside carrying her handbag, and adjusted her smile, "Jinxuan, Jinxuan? Are you in there?"
"Tsk..." Lu Jinxuan pressed his temple irritably, one, two, how annoying!
"Oh my." Gong Xueyan entered and was surprised by the scene before her, "Why is it so ssy here? Jinxuan, why did you drink so much?"
Lu Jinxuan leaned back irritably, his chin raised, eyes lowered, "Is it any of your business?"
"..." Gong Xueyan’s face was flushed with embarrassnt, but she patiently replied, "I’m your fiancée, so tell whether it concerns or not?"
"Pfft..." Lu Jinxuan curled his lips in disdain, "I didn’t realize that nowadays, even without an engagent, you’re considered a fiancée? So, my previous fiancée, are they all wives now? By the way, Miss, are you planning to be my second wife?"
Gong Xueyan was taken aback, "You..."
Lu Jinxuan actually dared to humiliate her like this!
Before she could speak, Lu Jinxuan, impatient, waved his hand, "Aren’t you going to manage? Fine, hurry up and clean up this ss!"
"What?" Gong Xueyan’s face turned uglier; when had she ever done such things?
She knew Lu Jinxuan didn’t like her, but she liked Lu Jinxuan! To win Lu Jinxuan’s heart, she believed it was worth paying the price.
Gong Xueyan, holding back her temper, negotiated, "Where are the servants? I’ll go call them..."
"Jinxuan, let do it?" Mu Qinglan ca in afterward and, seeing the scene, imdiately bent down to clean up.
Lu Jinxuan was indifferent, only raising his eyebrow to provocatively glance at Gong Xueyan, "See? You don’t even know how to please at the most basic level; you’re not even as good as her!"
"..." Gong Xueyan was so angry she almost ground her teeth to pieces, finally couldn’t hold back and pointed at Mu Qinglan, "Lu Jinxuan, who is this? Explain it to clearly!"
For such demands, Lu Jinxuan was completely uninterested in complying, but...
He wanted to see Gong Xueyan’s furious yet helpless look, so he bent down and pinched Mu Qinglan’s chin with a smile, "My woman... What, can’t you tell?"
Mu Qinglan blushed, gazing at him bashfully, "Jinxuan..."
Lu Jinxuan felt disgusted at heart, wondering why these won were all so off-putting. Instantly, he felt bored and let go.
As he released his grip, two figures appeared outside the door... Lu Jinxuan frowned at once, how unlucky!
