For some strange reason, the haughty woman from before wilted in an instant. She shot Su Wanwan a venomous glare, then stormed into the fitting room.

Not long after, she emerged in her own clothes, and spitefully tossed the dress at the attendant. “It’s awful, I don’t want it!” she snapped.

“Blaming your looks on the clothes now, Miss Lai? Maybe all those late nights have affected your vision too,” Su Wanwan remarked.

Miss Lai’s face had turned an ugly shade, but she said nothing. She picked up her bag and stormed off.

“Why does she seem so scared of you?”

“Of course, she’s scared of me.” Mo Weiyi laughed slyly. “Because I have something on her.”

After checking out, the two wandered into the store next door. When they emerged, they encountered the same woman in the hall.

This time, there was a tall man with her. She clung tightly to his arm, almost pressing her entire body against him, oblivious to the strange looks they were drawing.

“It’s a small world.”

No sooner had Mo Weiyi spoken than the couple spun around to face them.

“Damn it, Su Wanwan! Yet again, it’s you, you wretched girl!”

Oh great, it was Huo Zhexi.

Su Wanwan thought, yep, it’s a scandalously small world indeed.

The woman looked shocked. “Zhexi, you know her?”

Zhexi?

Su Wanwan felt a wave of nausea.

“Of course, I do. The cut on my head? It’s from a wine bottle this damn girl hit me with!” Huo Zhexi said, his eyes burning with rage at Su Wanwan.

In public, without the protection of his family, he didn’t bother to hide his anger and disgust.

The woman quickly joined in, “Such a violent girl! How dare she harm our Zhexi! She’s such a shrew!”

No wonder she’s good friends with Mo Weiyi.

Of course, she didn’t dare voice the last thought, keeping her resentment to herself.

Mo Weiyi, however, was quick to retort. “Wanwan, I remember you telling me that the third young master of the Huo family and Xing Yuyun were close friends. Seems like they really are— they not only like to wear the same pants, but they also go after the same type of woman. I wonder if they also share the same hole when they play golf?”

Su Wanwan had to suppress her laughter.

So this woman had a thing with Xing Yuyun too?

There’s so much she didn’t know.

“Mo Weiyi, what nonsense are you talking about!” The woman blushed uncontrollably, her expression frantic.

“Nonsense?” Mo Weiyi’s smirk was shamelessly amused. “I still have copies of those photos of you and Xing Yuyun from last time. Should I send a copy to your dear Zhexi as well? It’s all uncensored full HD, are you sure you want this?”

Huo Zhexi’s handsome face was now the color of coal.

This Lai Na was a newly rising starlet he had met at a party not long ago.

Recently, she had been relentlessly pursuing him, even somehow got ahold of his phone number. As he happened to be in the area today, he figured he’d call her over. Little did he know…

He jerked his arm away from her. “You tramp!”

“Zhexi, let me explain. Xing and I… we…”

“Oh, you just slept together, that’s all,” Mo Weiyi interjected.

“Mo Weiyi, don’t push me too far!” Furious as Lai Na was, she dared not offend Mo Weiyi, considering the background of the Mo Family.

Presently, onlookers were making comments and taking photos. Their murmurs filled the air:

“Did that man get cheated on?”

“More than that. He was betrayed by his own close friend.”

“Wow, he likes his friend’s leftovers. Quite an exotic taste!”

“What do you know? Young people nowadays like to mix things up; this is the trend…”

Huo Zhexi was livid and humiliated.

He loved partying and having fun, but he cared about his reputation too. He wasn’t one to take anything that came his way.

With that, he raised his hand and slapped her. “You damn whore!”

A public fight? Now that’s entertainment!

The spectators got more excited.

Su Wanwan, uninterested in their melodrama, tugged at Mo Weiyi’s sleeve and turned to leave. “Come on, let’s go upstairs.”

“Sure.”

After finally shaking off Lai Na, Huo Zhexi drove himself to the hospital to get his bandages changed. But as he was rounding a corner at the elevator, he bumped into someone.

With his already foul mood, he exploded in an instant. “Are you fucking blind! What, got a funeral to attend?”

Su Yanyan’s face flushed with embarrassment.

It was clearly him who had run into her, and yet he had the audacity to throw a fit.

But this man was Huo Zhexi, third heir to the Huo Family, and a famous spoiled brat in Nancheng. She dared not offend him. Instead, she simply picked up her fallen report, spun around, and was about to leave…

“Stop!” Huo Zhexi grabbed her arm. “Apologize!”

It was one thing for that Su Wanwan girl to piss him off; she had the protection of the Huo Family and Huo Jingshen, with enemies too powerful to take on.

But this innocent-looking Su Yanyan daring to defy him too?

Did everyone think he, Huo Zhexi, was an easy target?

With that thought, he snatched the papers from her hand.

“Give it back!” Su Yanyan shouted.

Huo Zhexi glanced down. 39 days pregnant?

Holy shit.

Before he could react, Su Yanyan snatched the report back and sprinted away.

Once she was back in her car, she immediately called Jiang Yi. “Mom, I’ve got the report. I’m going to the Xing residence now.”

With the proof of her pregnancy, even if Xing Yuyun wanted to call off the engagement, the elders of the Xing Family would never agree. But this time, what she wanted was more than just an engagement—it was…

To get married immediately!

That evening, Su Xueqin called Su Wanwan, asking her to come home..
