Su Yan never thought that her boyfriend of four years would choose another woman from an eminent family for his future. Given this, she chose to let go. However, the other party did not give her peace, often flaunting their affection in front of her! She tolerated it, but it only made them more arrogant. Su Yan: "I already have a boyfriend." Little did she know that the man she randomly picked up on the street was of such high quality, and he was fully cooperative. She was so touched that she wanted to reward him with her body, but he said that he needed someone who could do house chores. Su Yan was foolishly brought home only to find out that her husband was a soldier who was often on missions. She didn't need to do anything; all she needed to do was to enjoy his doting! Mother-in-law: "My dear daughter-in-law, this is the soup that I've been stewing for several hours. Have a quick taste." Father-in-law: "If any of your clients dare to bully you, tell me. I'll make them disappear!" Husband: "My wife is mine. None of you can lay a finger on her!" ... Before marriage: Su Yan: "Why are you so kind to me?" Shen You: "I am a soldier. It's my duty to serve the people." After marriage: Su Yan: "What's your favourite food?" Shen You: "You." [Welcome to join us~]
Su Yan, fatigued, left the business hotel, the sunlight outside was somewhat blinding. With her brows slightly furrowed, she held up her umbrella and began to walk.
But only after a few steps, two figures captured her attention. In the middle of the plaza stood a man and a woman. The man, tall and stately, was recognizably handsome even from afar. The woman was donned in extravagant clothes, displaying a natural grace in every move she made.
The pair also noticed Su Yan, holding hands they walked towards her. The richly dressed woman instantly recognized Su Yan, she exclaimed in "surprise", "Oh! Isn't this Su Yan? What a coincidence, we are here on our honeymoon, and we never thought we'd run into you."
Su Yan gave an awkward laugh, regretting in her heart why she didn't leave sooner. "Yes, I am here on a business trip."
"A business trip? I thought you are here to bless us." The woman was again surprisingly sarcastic that was quite evident in her tone.
Standing before her was Chen Jian, her ex-boyfriend, and his current wife, Yu Xi. Already an awkward trio, Yu Xi had to mock, clearly intending to make everyone uncomfortable.
Everyone knew that Chen Jian and Su Yan were in a relationship for four years, strong and unyielding. If it wasn't for Yu Xi's influence over Chen Jian's career, his wife would still be Su Yan.
Yu Xi, fearing Chen Jian still harbored old feelings for Su Yan, purposely came to make Su Yan uncomfortable. But she was shooting herself in the foot, too upset to even utter a word.
Sensing the awkward tension, Chen Jian quickly grabbed Yu Xi to leave. "Didn't you say you wanted to take pictures in the middle of the square? Let's hurry up, the photographer is going to get impatient."
"Yeah, our honeymoon isn't even over yet. Even though the photos are for others to see, we also need to prove our love to everyone and deter those self-sentimental women." Yu Xi suddenly returned to her elegant demeanor, she snuggled into Chen Jian's arm with a coquettish smile.
All Su Yan could see was a blinding scene. Chen Jian kept casting apologetic glances at her, hinting her not to provoke Yu Xi. It was both infuriating and ridiculous in her heart. They were broken up, why couldn't they let her live peacefully?
"I have some matters to handle, I'll leave first." Su Yan quickly found an excuse to depart. If she knew she'd come across this pair of jerks even on her business trip, even if she was very sure of securing the contract, she wouldn't have come.
When Su Yan tried to leave, Yu Xi grabbed her hand. Her attitude suddenly became very friendly as she held Su Yan's hand and said with a smile, "Since we bumped into each other, why don't you take a picture with us. Our friends will see these pictures, and I can introduce you to them too."
The Yu's family has a military background, and most of the people they know hold high positions. Of course, Yu Xi's intentions weren't so kind.
At this moment, Su Yan, dressed in a standard suit, her makeup not particularly dazzling. But Yu Xi was dressed up for the photoshoot in a more glamorous outfit compared to Su Yan's, making Su Yan appear quite ordinary.
"No, I won't disturb you any longer. I have to go back and organize some materials." Su Yan broke away from Yu Xi's grip, the smile on her face becoming rigid.
"AJian…" Seeing that Su Yan was being uncooperative, Yu Xi turned her attention to Chen Jian. She spoke in a pitiful tone, "Did I say something wrong and upset Su Yan? Could you try to persuade her for me?"
Chen Jian was in a difficult position. He knew Su Yan was unwilling, but since Yu Xi had already spoken, he couldn't upset her. He quickly said, "Su Yan... just take one photo. Little Xi has good intentions, don't overthink it..."
Even as he said those words, Chen Jian couldn't believe them himself, let alone convince Su Yan to compromise. She looked complicatedly at Chen Jian, realizing that this was the man she had loved for four years.
"Su Yan, don't be ungrateful!" Yu Xi flared up, her delicate makeup seeming somewhat distorted. "Inviting you to take a photo with me is giving you face. There are so many people who want to take a picture with me but I refuse. Furthermore, you can take this opportunity to marry into a wealthy family, what's not to like?"
"Thank you, but I already have a boyfriend." Su Yan refused without any hesitation. She was beginning to regret now. Earlier, a manager from the collaboration company had invited her for dinner, which she shouldn't have declined. Then she wouldn't be confronted with such a predicament.
Yu Xi was taken aback, "How is that possible? Where is he now?" With no man coming forward, Yu Xi quickly understood that it was an excuse made up by Su Yan.
She became smug again. "Although Chen Jian and I are living better than you now, you don't need to come up with such lame excuses. Are you trying to tell us that you already have a boyfriend and that you're living better than us? You don't have to."
Su Yan bit her lip, her complexion turning somewhat pale. She couldn't understand why Yu Xi was being so aggressive. She had no lingering feelings for Chen Jian, only disdain.
