A scumbag always has to handle these things perfectly.
He checked the ti. It was only 7:00 PM. He would just have to make an excuse to Xiaoju and head back to his room later.
"So eager?" Chen Jincheng teased with a smile as he walked over.
After Xiaoju opened the door, she took his hand and led him inside.
He also took out his phone and secretly sent a ssage to Li Suwan: "Sothing’s co up. I might be back a little late."
’His timing had to be perfect.’
...
「In a residential complex in Ganjiang City.」
Li Suwan walked out of the bathroom wrapped in a bath towel. She picked up her phone and saw the WeChat ssage from Chen Jincheng.
’A little over an hour... that gives plenty of ti to do my makeup.’
"Okay!" Li Suwan replied with a single word, then walked over to her vanity mirror and began to ticulously apply her makeup.
At school, she usually did her makeup in a mature and elegant style. But today, as soon as she sat at her vanity, she thought of Chen Tongxue’s handso face and his strong, beautiful muscles, and she subconsciously started applying her makeup to look a little younger.
’That way, we’d look more like a couple on a date.’
’I know that’s impossible, of course, but that doesn’t stop from indulging in a little emotional comfort.’
By the ti she finished her makeup, more than forty minutes had passed. She then went to her closet to pick out an outfit.
She suddenly didn’t know what to wear.
She realized she was feeling a strange sort of way, like when she was going on her first date, wanting to dress up to attract the other person, putting so much thought into her clothes.
Now, she wanted to wear sothing that would make Chen Tongxue like her even more.
Suddenly, her gaze fell upon a peculiar silk halter top in her closet.
It was a very popular style last year—very revealing and sexy, almost like lingerie.
She had bought it by mistake, thinking it was just a silk scarf. Who knew it wasn’t?
You couldn’t wear a bra with it; you had to use pasties.
After a bit of fiddling, she managed to put on the silk halter top.
’Such a small piece of fabric is actually a little embarrassing.’ So, she decided to also put on a pair of jeans and a jacket, using the modest outer layers to hide the shaful garnt within. When the ti ca, she could take off the jacket and give Chen Tongxue a surprise.
After putting on her jeans, she returned to the vanity mirror and tied her hair into a neat topknot, letting two strands of hair fall to fra her cheeks.
The style instantly made her feel much younger.
After all, she was going to "tutor" the handso, young, and strong Chen Tongxue. She found herself inexplicably conscious of her age.
With everything ready, she slung her bag over her shoulder and left the house in high spirits.
But just as she stepped out of the elevator on the first floor, her good mood vanished. She saw a bespectacled, refined-looking man holding a bouquet of roses, looking all prim and proper as he was about to get in.
It was her ex-husband, Huang Bin.
"Suwan, are you heading out?" Huang Bin asked excitedly the mont he saw her. "I ca here just for you. These flowers are for you. Let’s get back together!"
His face was filled with sincerity and remorse.
He had been a complete fool to make that mistake. Only after the divorce did he realize how wonderful his ex-wife was. He especially regretted it today after seeing her Divination Dance go viral. Watching her in the video, so radiant and dazzling, so beautiful and captivating—he was filled with regret.
It was as if she now had a special halo around her.
If they hadn’t divorced, he would have an internet-famous wife right now.
So, he had co to beg for a reconciliation at the first opportunity. He was confident she still loved him; after all, she had married him without a second thought back when he had nothing.
Her family had been strongly against it at the ti.
’A woman who loved him that much couldn’t just sever all feelings so easily.’
Li Suwan looked at her ex-husband’s sincere expression, smiled, and accepted the bouquet of roses from his hands. A smile instantly blood on Huang Bin’s face. ’Just as I thought!’
But before his smile could fully form, it froze. With a bright smile still on her face, Li Suwan tossed the bouquet into a nearby trash can.
"Why?" Huang Bin demanded.
Li Suwan sneered, "I’m all dressed up to go out. Isn’t it obvious? Of course I have a man now. Not only is he more handso and stronger than you, he’s a better athlete, too!"
Her words imdiately caught the attention of a few people entering the building. They all shot amused glances at Huang Bin, whose face turned ashen with humiliation.
Li Suwan’s words were clearly insulting, but she felt a sense of relief as she turned and walked away.
’Seriously, that piece of trash is in a different league from Chen Tongxue.’
Once she was out of the complex, she took out her phone and sent a ssage: "Chen Tongxue, I’m on my way to your ’tutoring session’ now."
...
「In the hotel room.」
[You have consud 1 Constitution Point through exercise. Constitution has increased!]
Chen Jincheng was looking at the ga prompt when he received Li Suwan’s ssage.
’She’s on her way.’
Glancing at the now-empty box beside him, he replied to Li Suwan: "We’re missing so protective gear for our ’dance practice.’ Could the teacher please bring a protection kit?"
Li Suwan froze for a mont when she received the ssage. ’A protection kit?’
It took her a mont to realize what he ant.
’Chen Tongxue really is cautious.’
’To think he’d use such an obscure way to say it.’
’Last ti, he insisted on calling our eting a "tutoring session."’
’It’s as if he thinks I’m so ungrateful woman.’
Of course, she knew what Chen Tongxue was guarding against. Nowadays, plenty of couples break up and post their chat logs online. She could understand his caution.
