"Ah, so that’s how it is. Where are you? Do you need to have Secretary Tang co to help you?"
"No need, after the tow truck cos I’ll just take a taxi back."
"Okay, be careful then."
After hanging up the phone, Munni did not leave the bathroom. Instead, she stood expressionlessly in front of the sink, staring at the reflection of herself in the mirror.
A trace of fatigue and bitterness unconsciously showed between her brows...
She found that she seed to no longer believe Xu Yisen’s words on the phone. Was the car really broken down, or was he with Xia Yuge?
To prevent further spread of negative thoughts, Munni clenched her hands tightly, her nails digging into her palms, causing a slight pain that kept her mind clear.
Munni pulled herself together, slowly curled her lips into a gentle smile, and then calmly turned the doorknob, leaving the bathroom to entertain the guests.
She explained to everyone that Xu Yisen’s car had broken down on the road, and he might be delayed for a while.
Everyone understood and didn’t say much, continuing to entertain themselves while waiting.
As ti passed, half an hour went by, but Xu Yisen still hadn’t returned, and then all the phones in the living room simultaneously buzzed.
When everyone took out their phones, they all displayed a text ssage from an unknown number, and the content of the ssage was exactly the sa as the one Munni had received an hour ago.
In the photo, Xu Yisen and Xia Yuge seed to be kissing.
After glancing at the ssage, a touch of awkwardness appeared on everyone’s face as they exchanged looks with each other, not knowing how to react for the mont.
Instead, it was Munni who reacted first. Her smile remained gentle and charming, showing none of the awkwardness or anger that might have been expected after seeing the photo.
On the contrary, her attitude was extrely calm and composed, "It seems that on such a special day, Yisen has soone else he wants to celebrate with, so we’ll just have to celebrate with him another day."
Her words carried a barely visible sarcasm, and everyone naturally picked up on the subtle hint to leave.
"Sis, should we wait a bit longer? Didn’t he say the car broke down? He should be here soon."
After the words fell, Munni slowly shook her head, "It’s getting late, everyone should go back first. When he cos back, we can celebrate together, just the two of us."
At this point, her impatience to send the guests away beca more apparent, and it was hard for anyone to stay.
They all got up and, before leaving, didn’t forget to say a few words on behalf of Xu Yisen, "The service at the 4S shop isn’t very efficient at night, maybe the tow truck is just late."
"Yisen might already be on his way back, and soon you two can enjoy so quality ti together."
"I hate when the car breaks down halfway. Last ti, I had to wait two hours to get it sorted. The 4S shop’s efficiency is truly worsening; they should be called to complain."
How could Munni not understand the underlying aning in their words? After seeing off each guest one by one, she finally released the forced smile on her face.
She sat weakly on the sofa, and her phone buzzed once more.
Xia Weifu sent her another ssage... [Rival, what do you think of the birthday gift I prepared for Xu Yisen?]
[Very good, as Yisen’s girlfriend, I ought to thank you on his behalf. A return gift will be in order.]
Just after sending the ssage, Munni’s phone began to buzz again with a call from an unfamiliar number.
