âMr. Chu, Iâve told you before, we are not a good match.â
âHow do you know weâre not a good match if you donât try?â Chu Xiuhuang looked at her, his expression serious but his words ridiculous, âWe can try different places or approaches, and stick with whatever works best. Youâre free to choose.â
Shi Huan: ââ¦â
She could only helplessly hold her forehead, âMr. Chu, please stop joking around. If you didnât understand it before, let me say it again, we can never be together.â
âReason.â
âBecause I have decided not to marry for my entire life.â
âAre you⦠a lesbian?â
Shi Huan was speechless: ââ¦â
What the hell does lesbian mean!
âIf youâre not a lesbian, why are you choosing never to marry?â
Chu Xiuhuang leaned close to her, his deep voice ambiguous and enthralling, âLittle Huanhuan, being with a man feels good. Donât you want to try it?â
âYouâll be twenty-five after your birthday right? Donât you ever feel lonely in the still of the night? Donât you wish you had a man to keep you company, to take care of youâ¦â
Before he could finish speaking, he was pushed back a whole step.
Shi Huan turned her face cold, immediately got in the car.
Chu Xiuhuang steadied himself and looked back.
Damn, there was a big road right behind him.
Luckily, he was young and strong, and his waist was good so he wasnât pushed over.
Was this woman trying to murder her husband?
How ruthlessâ¦

They quickly set off.
Shi Huan sat quietly in the front and said nothing.
Contrarily, Chu Xiuhuang was chatting sporadically with the little girl.
Halfway there, Shi Huanâs phone finally rang.
After a glance at the caller ID, she quickly answered, âHello?â
âHuanhuan, how is Luoluo? Is she crying?â
Shi Minyan had barely finished asking when the sound of Luoluoâs silver bell-like laughter came from the back seat.
He breathed a sigh of relief, âShe seems to like you. Take care of her for a while, Iâll pick her up in a couple of days.â
âAlright.â Shi Huan didnât ask for the reason.
âTell me if you need anything, I have to hang up now, Iâve got something here.â
âGoodbye.â
After ending the call, Shi Huan watched the sign, turning the car around at the front.
âWhat happened?â Chu Xiuhuang asked.
Shi Huan said, âMr. Chu, Iâm taking Luoluo home first. Can you drive home by yourself later?â
âSure.â
Chu Xiuhuang did not ask more.
When they got to the Mei Jiayuan residential area, she parked the car, took the child and left.
Chu Xiuhuang lowered the car window and lit a cigarette.
He leaned against the side of the car window, smoking and narrowing his deep, narrow phoenix eyes, counting from below.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.
Only after seeing the light turn on in the 9th floor window, the man curled up his thin lip, and smiled wickedly amid the smoke.

The next day.
In the morning, Mo Weiyi went to school. After gathering everyone, he set off for Yurui Law Firm on Yatt Road.
A total of five people went together, including the head teacher Mr. Hu, the class president, and two girls.
On the way, Mr. Hu repeatedly emphasized that this job interview opportunity was a rare one. He hoped that everyone would perform well during the interview and strive to be an intern at Yurui.
Blabbering all the way.
Everyone was very excited and ambitious.
The two girls even put on makeup, aiming to impress and seize this internship opportunity with their best appearance.
When they arrived at the Yurui Law Firm, it was just 10 oâclock in the morning.
The law firm had already started work. The receptionist on the ground floor was making a phone call to arrange the interview upstairs. Meanwhile, Mo Weiyi and two female classmates found a spot in the waiting area and sat down.
The two girls with good relations were whispering and discussing something.
Mo Weiyi took out his phone and searched for news about Yurui.
Suddenly, the class president whispered, âShush, Lawyer Lu is coming!â
Mo Weiyi raised his head to see.
Lu Chenyu walked in from the outside with a black briefcase.
He was wearing a standard three-piece navy blue suit, and over it, a long dark grey coat. His long, narrow face glowed against his pale skin, and a pair of thin-rimmed glasses rested on his nose. Tall and skinny, looking clean, handsome, and sporting the typical lawyer attire.
âGood morning, Lawyer Lu!â
âMorning, Lawyer Lu!â
âMorning, Lu!â
ââ¦â
Lu Chenyu showed no expression. People greeted him, but he ignored them, aloof as if he was inaccessible.
No wonder, after all, this firm was named after him.
Mo Weiyi had just looked up, and Yurui Law Firm was founded by Luâs father. He named it after his son, perhaps representing some expectationsâ¦
The two girls began to gush:
âWow, who would have thought Lawyer Lu is so handsome?â
âSo aloof too!â
âI love this kind of scholarly handsome guy the most.â
âIâve seen him arguing in court, and man, his words sting!â
âSo handsome, so handsome!â
In Mo Weiyiâs mind, was he handsome?
Why did she feelâ¦
This Lu Chenyu gave a gay vibe?
Both are bespectacled men, but her own husband wouldnât give people the vibe of being a homosexual.
Mo Weiyi pondered for a while and concluded it was due to the relationship between Lu Chenyu and Chu Xiuhuang.
Wondering if it was because she was thinking about someone elseâs gossip, the previously indifferent man suddenly turned his gaze in her direction.
Mo Weiyi froze.
The two girls beside her were silent.
Thankfully, Lu Chenyu only looked once before moving away and getting into the elevator rapidly.
He didnât say a word from the start to the end.
âWeiyi, was Lawyer Lu looking at you just now?â A female classmate asked.
Mo Weiyi blinked her clear cat eyes, âLook at me? How could that be? I donât even know him.â
âA graceful woman attracts a gentleman. Youâre so pretty, Weiyi. Itâs only normal that he was looking at you!â
âExactly, he might pass you right away when he sees you at the interview later!â
âWow, youâre so lucky to be noticed by Lawyer Lu!â
âReally?â Mo Weiyi curved her red lips, âBut Iâm not interested in him.â
Her classmates: ââ¦â
Soâ¦
Proud?
