From the first half of her sentence, Xu Zhiyin thought it was an ex-schoolmate greeting her but from the second half of her sentence, she understood this woman was here to ridicule her on purpose.

 

Xia Nana was Xu Zhiyin’s high school friend. When she was in university, she modeled for the cover of the magazine and made her first public appearance. Now, she was a minor celebrity.

 

She was pretty and had good luck. After she became a celebrity, some of her classmates had a completely new appraisal of her…

 

Except Xu Zhiyin.

 

After Xu Zhiyin married Ji Liunian, she had never attended classmate gatherings but during such gatherings, her ex-classmates liked to discuss about her as she was married to Ji Liunian and had become a rich man’s wife. Who didn’t envy her?

 

Xia Nana was definitely jealous of her.

 

She felt her results and appearance were not inferior to that of Xu Zhiyin and it was impossible that only Xu Zhiyin could marry such an outstanding man.

 

These few years, she had tried looking for a rich man to be her boyfriend but to no avail. The men were merely thinking of having fun with her.

 

Now that she heard Xu Zhiyin had divorced and coincidently met her here, how could she not take this opportunity to chat with Xu Zhiyin?

 

Xu Zhiyin knew the news of her divorce would disseminate but didn’t expect it to be this fast.

 

Watching Xia Nana’s expression as if she couldn’t wait to make fun of her, she calmly denied, “I didn’t divorce. You think too much.”

 

Xia Nana spoke with absolute certainty, “My friend works in the same hospital as you. She’s the one who told me about you. Now that everyone in the hospital knows, you don’t have to pretend anymore. Your mother said it herself, could it be false? You are really pitiful to have your cousin as the third party. Humans are all like this. It’s impossible for us to be in splendour our entire lives. However, you were Mrs. Ji for three years, who doesn’t know you now? You’re more successful now than when you were at school.”

 

Although Xu Zhiyin was a hardworking and good child, she was not as bright so whatever she did, she could only pass her exams.

 

Then, she married Ji Liunian, seemingly a fairytale ending, which hit her ex-classmates in the face.

 

That moment, Xia Nana’s words revealed thick jealousy.

 

Xu Zhiyin knew girls were all like this, always liked comparing themselves with others and only if they were better than others would they feel good about themselves. However, this moment, she had no mood and wished to leave this place as soon as possible. “My friend is waiting. Please excuse me.”

 

Xia Nana moved to block her way. “It’s rare that we meet, let’s have a cup of tea together.”

 

If it were in the past when Xu Zhiyin was still Mrs. Ji, Xia Nana would definitely hide and stay far away whenever she saw her, not wanting to give her a chance to show off. However, it was different now. She was especially happy to see Xu Zhiyin in dire straits.

 

“Why did you take so long?” Just as Xu Zhiyin was about to decline Xia Nana, a man took her by the shoulder.

 

Xu Zhiyin halted and realized Gu Nantian who had been waiting in the private room for her, had come out.

 

He had definitely waited for too long and came out to look for her but what did he mean when he took her by the shoulder?

 

He did this in broad daylight! If someone were to witness this, she would be doomed…

 

Before she could push Gu Nantian away, Xia Nana stared at Gu Nantian in surprise, “Master Gu?”

 

Master Gu was a title given by many and many people who respected and admired him would address him in this manner.

 

She didn’t expect Xia Nana to know Gu Nantian.

 

After seeing Gu Nantian, her eyes were filled with surprise and excitement…

 

Xu Zhiyin looked at Xia Nana and asked, “You know each other?”

 

“Why are you with Master Gu?” Xia Nana who had been waiting to make fun of Xu Zhiyin earlier darted a glance at Gu Nantian’s hand on Xu Zhiyin’s shoulder and was filled with jealousy that instant.

 

Their relationship didn’t seem to be ordinary. Xu Zhiyin was with Gu Nantian?

 

“We are here for lunch together.” Xu Zhiyin pushed Gu Nantian’s hand away. She didn’t like him doing to her something that would attract criticism in public. Of course, even if it was not an occasion like this, she still didn’t like to have contact with Gu Nantian.

 

“Here for lunch together?” Xia Nana was extremely jealous. How could she mention her having lunch with Master Gu in such a casual manner, as if this was something very ordinary?

 

Besides Gu Xinyi, Gu Nantian never had lunch dates with any women in private and had never put on a good face for any women before. What did Xu Zhiyin have to deserve this treatment?

 

How Xia Nana wished to push Xu Zhiyin to the side to replace Xu Zhiyin and stand beside Gu Nantian. However, she dared not do that.

 

She looked at Gu Nantian politely and said ingratiatingly, “I never expected to see Master Gu here today. I heard you’re ill. I’ve been very worried about you. It’s good to see that you’re well!”

 

“I don’t know you.” Gu Nantian looked at Xia Nana.

 

“…” This made Xia Nana very awkward. She actually wanted to cultivate a friendship with Gu Nantian in front of Xu Zhiyin but did not expect Gu Nantian to not give her face. She felt as if she had been slapped.

 

More importantly, she dared not say anything that might irritate him.

 

She could only smile. “Mr. Gu is a busy man and might have forgotten. No worries, I’m Xia Nana, an actress. I acted in the recent hot movie ‘Rose Garden’.”

 

Gu Nantian didn’t want to listen to her and wasn’t interested. He lowered his head and looked at Xu Zhiyin. “Are you done chatting?”

 

He thought Xia Nana was Xu Zhiyin’s friend and was polite toward her.

 

“I didn’t plan to chat. Let’s go!” Xu Zhiyin turned around and left with Gu Nantian to the restaurant’s private room, leaving Xia Nana to watch after them.

 

When they sat down, Xu Zhiyin asked, “Did you know Ms. Xia last time?”

 

From Xia Nana’s look, she was sure they had met more than once before.

 

Gu Nantian replied indifferently, “I can’t remember the past.”

 

“She’s an actress and she’s pretty. Aren’t you interested in her?”

 

“No, I have no interest in her.” Gu Nantian stared at Xu Zhiyin. Only when he looked at her, his eyes were gentle, “I’m only interested in you now.”

 

“Haha…” Xu Zhiyin laughed, “I don’t know you well.”

 

“I nearly fainted from the fragrance on her body.” Gu Nantian moved closer to her and his face was just beside her neck. “Unlike you, I can’t smell enough of your scent.”

 

Upon his words, Xu Zhiyin couldn’t help but smell herself and she didn’t understand what he said…

 

She had never used perfume and her body should have no scent…

This could be all in his mind.

 

Gu Nantian was very near her. His hand went around Xu Zhiyin’s waist and when he spoke, light breath touched her skin.

 

Xu Zhiyin felt her face burning.
