Jin Qing didn’t expect Yuexi to say such things, so she is surprised at the moment. Then, she stands up in a trance and shakes Yuexi’s hand. Li Fengjue’s face gloomy, he casts an evil eye on Yuexi, as if cursing her and warning her to stay away. While when he turns his eyes to Jin Qing, his looks become as soft as the spring breeze of February. There is only tenderness. Is this the difference between ex-wife and new girlfriend? The differences are huge!

Jin Qing seems to have recovered from the shock, so she stuttered, “That… Bai… I don’t know how to address you. Let me call you my elder sister!” “You can just call me by name. Plus, you are older than me. I should call you my older sister.” When Yuexi finishes this, she sees Jin Qing’s face become ugly in an instant. But she ignores that. Yuexi sits down and says, “Don’t just stand there. Sit down and eat.”

Yuexi looks very generous and is extremely tolerant of her ex-husband’s new girlfriend. This is quite abnormal, so the eyes of all the people in the room are all fixated on her. They are confused and examining her closely wondering what will happen next. The woman used to sacrifice quite a lot, even her self-esteem for the sake of love. That woman is already dead. Now she is a changed person. She doesn’t care what other people think about her and she lives only for herself. Yuexi has always been a revengeful person.

Li Fengjue cast a cold glance at her, then walks over to Jin Qing and sits down beside her. He talks to her gently. When they are busy showing affection in public, Yuexi sends a WeChat message to Chen Ying to tell her about her current situation. Then she asks her to call her up in three minutes so that she would invent a decent excuse to leave early. When Yuexi is staring at the phone screen, Li Fengye suddenly asks, “How long have you been staying in Ling City last time?”

“Oh, I came back two days ago.” Seeing Chen Ying texts back an “Okay”, Yuexi feels relieved. “What keeps you there for so long? Is that place that beautiful?” Li Fengye holds up a cup of tea and drinks. “Actually, I went there in search of someone. But I had an accident in the mountain, so I didn’t come back in time.” “Accident? Are you okay?” Li Fengye puts down the tea cup, frowning worriedly.

Yuexi casts a quick look at Li Ya intentionally. Seeing her keeping her head down the whole time silent, she says with a smile, “I’m fine. I just fell into the water by accident. Fortunately, someone saved my life.” She says in a light tone, but Li Fengye frowns deeper, “Fell into the water by accident?”

Yuexi takes a sip of tea, glances over Li Ya, and says coldly, “Actually, I have had a lot of accidents before. But this is the first time for me to fall into the water. It seems that I have to be more careful next time.” Li Ya suddenly raises her head and says with a smile, “I heard that it has been raining in Ling City a few days ago, so the ground could be very slippery. Just pay more attention next time.”

Yuexi smiles as she nods, staring at her fiercely. Li Ya looks away casually and pours herself a cup of tea. Everybody is talking and laughing. Yuexi is anxious and feels like living a year in a minute. Luckily, she hears her phone ringing after three minutes.

She quickly touches the screen but only to find that it is not Chen Ying, but Ouyang Mu who makes the phone call! Yuexi looks at them apologetically and Li Fengye waves his hand, “Feel free to answer the phone.” Yuexi nods. Then she gets up and walks out of the room. She presses the answer button, “Hello?” “Hello. Why is your voice so low?” Ouyang Mu asks.

“I’m eating out with friends, so it’s not convenient to answer the phone.” “Oh, I see. You seem to know who is the caller. So that means you didn’t delete my mobile number, then I can be rest assured.” Ouyang Mu’s voice is calm, without any fluctuations in his tone. Until then, Yuexi finally understands what it means to be called a poker face. He talks about his emotions, but his tone is unaffected. She could even imagine his expressions at the moment.

“I haven’t had the chance to thank you. I will invite you to dinner someday.” Yuexi changes the subject. “Well, then, how about tomorrow? I will send you the location, and you can find me there tomorrow.” “Huh?” Yuexi thought her ears are cheating her. Is he asking her out? “Remember to come to find me.” He repeats the words and then hangs up the phone. “Hello, hello……”

Yuexi looks at the blacked-out screen speechlessly. She has had a gruelling dinner here already, and now Ouyang Mu invites her to another dinner! Admittedly, she says that she will invite him to dinner first, but anyone who is sophisticated enough knows it is nothing more than a gesture to show gratitude. She doesn’t expect him to take it seriously. The private room is very close to where she is standing now. What she says on the phone can be heard. She did it deliberately. Since she and Li Fengjue are already divorced, now, it’s better for them to stay out of each other’ life for good.

It’s pretty funny. The two of them have done the most intimate things in the world. But in the end, they are like strangers. They even hold grudge against each other. Thinking of this, she shakes her head helplessly. Since now she finds a chance to come out, she should just leave and let the waiter tell the people inside. Thinking about this, Yuexi hurriedly leaves Fengheju. Before leaving, she finds a waiter and asks him to tell the people inside that she is leaving.

As soon as she walks to the door, she receives a WeChat message from Chen Ying. “Well, does that work out?” “You even dare to mention it! I asked you to call me in 3 minutes. Why didn’t you call me? How can you do that to me!” “What is the use of me calling? If a man could call you at that time, wouldn’t it be nicer? You can just take advantage of that man to piss out that bitchy couple!”

Yuexi can almost imagine Chen Ying’s expressions. But, wait, what does she mean? How does she know that Ouyang Mu just called her? “Have you told Ouyang Mu about this?” Yuexi frowns and suddenly sees a long message from Chen Ying come in. “You become smarter now. That is called circumstances. Everyone has a partner. You are the only one who don’t. ‘Aren’t you embarrassed? This is the best solution under the circumstances!

“But, no matter what, you can’t just take advantage of Ouyang Mu. He saved my life. I can’t get him involved in this! Plus, I have nothing to do with him now. He can be with whoever he wants.” Yuexi gets angry. Gritting her teeth, she replies, “It is you who caused the trouble. You have to be there when I invite him to dinner tomorrow!”

“I’m not going! I’m such a third-wheel, coming between you two. Since you have met a good man, you must seize the chance. Otherwise, you will regret it afterward. Yuexi curls up her lips and walks to the side of the road. Just as she is about to take a taxi, she looks up and sees Li Fengjue standing not far away. He is leaning against a tree leisurely with no one around.
