“I’m likely to go wrong when I get excited.” What a good excuse that Tang Xia had found, which made spilling the soup look like an honest mistake.

While Tang Xia kept on satirizing them and paid no attention to her ‘good deeds’, she squinted at those two people, who acted in collusion with each other, with great resentment in her heart. Only in this way could she slightly vent her hatred.

In order to make things difficult for her, Jiang Yuecheng made Tang Xia cook this meal. So she would not let them gain some advantages from her hard work.

Zhou Linlin jumped back with a lot of force and pouted resentfully. She became so angry when she saw Tang Xia’s proud smile.

Having not lost face, Tang Xia comforted Zhou Linlin kindly, “Don’t be mad anymore. I just spilled the soup accidentally. Don’t pay too much attention to it, all right?”

“Accidentally? You did it on purpose!” Zhou Linlin talked back defiantly with her head raised slightly, looking down on Tang Xia while lowering her eyelids.

Laying the cards on the table was obviously detrimental to her in this situation. So, when Zhou Linlin talked, her voice trailed off till almost nothing could be heard.

“How can you say that to me? It is I who kindly delivered your lunch.” Tang Xia stood there with an upset look as if she had been wronged.

Only Jiang Yuecheng, who was standing on the side, remained silent after being bullied by Tang Xia, who spilled the soup all over on him and was indeed not innocent. Prudent as he was, it never occurred to him that it was not his day.

Zhou Linlin gathered up her dress and realized that the thick soup was still splashed on the clothes. At this moment, she shrieked in disgust and said, “Elder cousin, how can you do this to me? How can I wear this dress to meet others after you spilled soup on me?”

Zhou Linlin, a girl who had always worn the same smile, would be so attractive when looking back at others with a smile. And she was quite fascinating and charming in Jiang Yuecheng’s arms just now. But at this moment, she was so angry that she kept on stamping her feet.

She changed her style of chasteness and coquetry because she felt ill at ease after the soup was spilled on her. What’s more, she worried that being uncollected and unbecoming for the moment would let her impression degrade.

Looking at Zhou Linlin’s behavior, Tang Xia sneered and rolled her eyes. “She deserves it! What’s the big deal since the soup was spilled on her dress instead of her face?”

After shaking the pieces of vegetables on her dress off, Zhou Linlin wiped the residue off and absorbed the moisture with a tissue taken from her bag.

Having noticed this situation, Tang Xia passed her some napkins.

As the soup was cream-colored and Zhou Linlin’s dress was white, it would be very hard for her to clean it off, leaving some yellow traces behind, as if someone had peed on her. Zhou Linlin was so pissed off that she threw the dirty napkins all on the floor.

The floor became messy in a flash because of the mixture of napkins and vegetable soup that was scattered across the ground. When the moisture of the soup finally evaporated, the napkins would stick to the floor so firmly that it would take the cleaner more effort to clean it up.

Tang Xia took a glance at the messy floor with disdain and felt rather disgusted. However, she did not care about it as it was not her fault.

After having a glimpse of the man who had nothing to do with the corner of her eyes, Tang Xia picked up the empty lunch box and closed the lid ruthlessly. Then she tossed the lunch box to Jiang Yuecheng.

When he caught the lunch box confusedly, his fingers trembled slightly. Although the lunch box was not heavy, Jiang Yuecheng could not hold it steady as if it weighed a ton. He did not know what Tang Xia was going to do next.

So, he decided to get the drop on her by summoning the cleaner of the company, “Hurry and clean it up.”

He, together with Tang Xia and Zhou Linlin, moved away from the area so that it would be more convenient for the cleaner to do their job.

That cleaner who was a nimble worker, so she was quite good at cleaning. She cleaned the area up and quickly cleared a table for them.

In a flash, this place became clean as usual, as if nothing had happened just now. Although the traces left in the room were erased, what had happened would never be forgotten by them?

Tang Xia felt much better at the moment. To be exact, she had not shown her bad mood. At this moment she smiled at Jiang Yuecheng as if nothing had happened and said, “Come home early. Your laundry is ready.”

She raised one of her hands wittily while she stood aslope, which made her appear quite slim and adorable.

The calmer Tang Xia appeared, the more terrified Jiang Yuecheng would be as he thought that there were profound meanings between the lines. What’s more, he regarded the woman who did not blame people as the most horrible one.

“Hm? Dacheng, why don’t you respond to me? Did you hear what I just said to you?”

Although Tang Xia spoke to him in such a euphonic voice, he still gave her the cold shoulder, which showed how indifferent he was to her.

Having noticed that he did not respond to her after a long time, Tang Xia stood there in a proudhearted attitude of interrogation, which satisfied Tang Xia a lot as she enjoyed occupying a commanding position.

“I didn’t mean to remain silent, I was just listening to your words.” Jiang Yuecheng did not know what he should say to Tang Xia as it would be wrong whether he said yes or no. It was one thing if Tang Xia did not see what he had done. However, she saw what he was doing.

They were standing face to face when Jiang Yuecheng put an arm around Tang Xia’s younger female cousin instead of Tang Xia, which sealed his doom.

Tang Xia took a look at him again with her arms folded over her chest while saying nothing else and just waited for him to open his mouth.

“What should I do in such an awkward situation?”

“Nothing happens every time I cheat on her. How can I be so unlucky today that I am caught as soon as I go out?” Jiang Yuecheng saw that Tang Xia looked at him in a leisure manner with her eyebrows raised.

Jiang Yuecheng bit the bullet and said, “Thank you for doing the laundry and delivering lunch for me.”

He said every word quite slowly and rather earnestly, which sounded much more pleasant compared to the voice he used to command Tang Xia.

But Zhou Linlin, who was busy with cleaning her dress, could not interrupt their conversation and had no choice but to watch that Jiang Yuecheng was abject in his respect for Tang Xia and replied to her question cravenly, making her believe that the rest of her life would not be that happy.

So her face blushed due to great embarrassment.

Jiang Yuecheng was just treating Tang Xia kindly for the moment because he felt uncomfortable after she caught him cheating on her. During ordinary days, he would have shouted at her and would not talk to her in such a kindly manner.

In Jiang Yuecheng’s mind, he was always superior to Tang Xia so he hooked up with other girls, like Tang Xia’s younger female cousin, unscrupulously.

Tang Xia gained a victory this time anyway as she finally got the chance to act tough with them.

All this was like a trap Jiang Yuecheng set for himself because it was he who let Tang Xia deliver the lunch and make the appointment with Zhou Linlin. So, those two women meeting each other was his own bitter fruit he had to eat.

With nothing left to do, Tang Xia turned around with a triumphant air. As she complacently rotated 180 degrees onher tiptoes, she knocked into a man. Although she bumped her head, no pain could be felt, as if there was a soft cushion protecting her.

She lowered her head to massage her forehead and looked up. Unexpectedly, the man she knocked into was Chu Tiankuo!

“Why are you here?” Tang Xia asked and pointed at Chu Tiankuo’s face, which was reflected clearly in her eyes. Although she had seen him only several times, his face she was not that familiar with gradually impressed her.

At this moment, she commanded her brain to search for fragments of Chu Tiankuo and images of him in her memory appeared like a historic movie showing in her mind.

In the last two live broadcasts, Tang Xia happened to meet Chu Tiankuo, who disappeared as suddenly as he appeared. Every time she encountered danger, he would appear just in time and leave like a cork after solving her problems.

Suddenly, an exciting moment appeared in her mind. But, that Chu Tiankuo appeared so urgently and fleetingly, like a trotting horse lamp. Luckily, Tang Xia grasped the key point perfectly.

As long as she adjusted to the right time, she could recall that memory momentarily.



It never occurred to her that she would be assaulted by three scoundrels. As she was so physically weak, just one ruffian was enough to guarantee her death.

When a strong ruffian walked slowly toward her, Tang Xia was so scared that her legs began trembling, “I’m done this time.” As the man got closer and closer to her, she closed her eyes helplessly.

However, the moment she closed her eyes, she opened them again.

Because Tang Xia heard those strong ruffian’s scream. She thought it was she who should wail, but she heard the scream before she had time to feel anything.

When she opened her eyes, she found that a tall and valiant man stood in front of her.

Although Tang Xia only saw his back, she could imagine his handsome face already as it must be her Prince Charming who appeared when she was in danger.

As expected, he defeated those three strong ruffians. They all quickly ran away, even leaving behind their weapons because they had no time. Tang Xia was successfully rescued.

“Be more careful in the future.” Chu Tiankuo turned his head and spoke calmly without breathing heavily. Then he disappeared from her side.



Looking at Tang Xia, who stared at him and was lost in her thoughts, Chu Tiankuo could not help wearing such a charismatic smile. In his eyes, Tang Xia’s gawkish look, for an unknown reason, was quite adorable.

So he pinched her chin gently and pretended to ask wonderingly, “Why do I run into you everywhere I go? Are you following me?”
