Don't run away, Miss Chun, you are my destiny

Just as Lu Junze was falling into frustration and anger, the doorbell rang.

He suppressed his inner excitement, tried his best to put on a cold expression, and opened the door nonchalantly.

But he saw Shen Xiyao standing outside the door, holding a cake and smiling gently.

He turned sideways to look behind Shen Xiyao, and this action caused Shen Xiyao to turn around and look behind her as well.

He searched hard with his eyes, but did not see the person he wanted to see.

"Junze, it's midnight on May 5th, happy birthday!"

Lu Junze's anger was already evident on his face.

With a sullen face, he took the cake from Shen Xiyao's hand and hugged her in his arms roughly.

He raised his phone, deliberately put his lips close to hers, and took a selfie.

He started to edit his circle of friends, but Shen Xiyao shyly dissuaded him.

"Junze, I'd better edit the picture or use the beauty filter before taking the photo!"

"No, I like the natural look. It's fine if you don't use filters to beautify it."

This compliment made Shen Xiyao feel like she was in love. This was probably the highest compliment for a woman.

When he quickly edited the pictures and texts in his circle of friends and sent them, a sneer involuntarily appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He was sure that Chun Rixi would definitely see it.

Chun Rixi was very resistant to Shen Xiyao's intimate interaction with him during the dinner.

She thought she covered it up well.

The steamy photo was captioned, "Thanks for the birthday cake, baby. I have a gift for you too."

He just wanted to make Chun Rixi suffer.

After returning to apartment 2202, Kasuga Xi placed the ice cream she had bought on the table and dived into bed.

She didn't buy a cake, and when she went around the cake shops downstairs, they were all closed.

She had no choice but to buy a large box of ice cream and a greeting card at a 24-hour convenience store, and wrote on the spot "Happy Birthday to Mr. Lu".

However, just as she was taking the elevator to the eleventh floor carrying her ice cream, Shen Xiyao walked into the elevator holding a cake.

She glanced at Chun Rixi arrogantly, but greeted her in a friendly manner.

In her heart, Chun Rixi is already a fallen phoenix. Without the blessing of her family background, she is just an ordinary girl in the dust.

"Xiao Xi, go buy some ice cream so late!"

Chun Rixi hummed without comment and said nothing more.

But the clever Shen Xiyao noticed Chun Rixi pressed the elevator button for the 20th floor the moment she entered the elevator.

She pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Does Junze want to eat?"

"Why didn't he tell me? I'm sorry to bother you with this trip."

Shen Xiyao stretched out her hand and wanted to take the shopping bag from Chun Rixi.

Kasuga Xi immediately transferred the bag to her other hand and pressed the button for the 22nd floor.

"I bought it for myself to eat. When you mentioned Mr. Lu, I realized I pressed the wrong button."

Shen Xiyao smiled and waved her hand, speaking in a coy manner.

"Hey, it's okay, why don't you come with me to Junze's place and celebrate his birthday!"

Chun Rixi shook her head like a rattle and waved her hands repeatedly to refuse.

"No, no, it turns out it's Mr. Lu's birthday! I thought it was a housewarming celebration."

Shen Xiyao said softly with a look that said "you know it now" and a blushing face.

"Well, we're moving today, but after midnight it's his birthday."

In order to be the first to send blessings to Lu Junze on his birthday, the attentive girl ordered the birthday cake and gifts early.

They arrived at the 20th floor. After the two waved goodbye, Kasuga Xi breathed a sigh of relief.

But she suddenly remembered that the bag containing her student ID and pad was still with Lu Junze, so she frantically pressed the door-opening button.

Shen Xiyao looked at Chun Rixi as she walked out of the elevator, hatred gradually welling up in her eyes, but her face remained friendly.

"What's wrong, Xiaoxi, is there something wrong?"

Chun Rixi said anxiously: "Can you help me get my bag back? I have classes tomorrow morning and I need everything in the bag!"

Shen Xiyao suddenly remembered that Lu Junze had indeed taken Chun Rixi's bag during the dinner.

"No problem, but we have to wait until tomorrow morning, we...enmmm..."

Shen Xiyao bit her lower lip shyly on purpose, as if she was too embarrassed to say what was next.

"Oh, okay! Then I'll come find you tomorrow morning?"

Chun Rixi immediately gave the decision to her. She didn't want to see Shen Xiyao appearing behind Lu Junze's door in her pajamas early in the morning.

Her relationship with Lu Junze was in chaos, and she was already exhausted from dealing with it, so it would be better to end it sooner rather than later.

"Let me look for you. I'm afraid it's not convenient for you to look for me."

Shen Xiyao watched Chun Rixi walk into the elevator with her own eyes. The elevator door closed and moved upwards before she turned around and knocked on the door with relief.

Shen Xiyao looked at the table filled with hot pot ingredients, then happily sat down at the table and began to eat generously.

Lu Junze stared at the comments under the circle of friends with his dark and cold eyes, and suddenly spoke.

"Xiyao, did you find out?"

"As long as I have more contact with you, Xiaoxi, enmmmm...Haruhixi will have adverse reactions."

Shen Xiyao put down her chopsticks and analyzed carefully.

"I feel like she cares about me."

Lu Junze seemed very satisfied with this answer.

"I'm sorry for taking advantage of you without considering your feelings!"

She looked into Lu Junze's apologetic eyes and spoke softly.

"Jun Ze, I am willing to be used by you."

"I have loved you from the beginning to the end, and I only love you!"

Shen Xiyao's heartfelt confession made Lu Junze feel even more guilty.

"But, Junze, I think you seem to have misunderstood something."

Lu Junze raised his eyes and stared at her as she hesitated, waiting for her to continue.

"Didn't Chun Rixi admit in person that she used you to take revenge on the Lu family?"

"How come you forgave her so quickly?"

"If you can forgive anything, doesn't it seem like you deserved the hurt you've suffered?"

The pain of being deeply deceived and betrayed by the person he loved the most once again lingered in Lu Junze's heart.

He laughed at his own stupidity. It was as if he had lost all his defenses the moment he saw Chun Rixi.

It was precisely because of this that Chun Rixi's conversation with her mother Fang Yu that day made Lu Junze hate her.

"I have no intention of forgiving a calculating liar!"

Shen Xiyao's eyes flashed with joy, and then she spoke gently.

"Then use me and take your revenge!"

"The better you treat me, the more painful it is for her, and the stronger her feelings for you become."

"Your relationship with her doesn't need to be maintained by money."

Lu Junze pondered that his current relationship with Chun Rixi was indeed maintained by financial debt.

Once this bond is broken, what should he use to keep her and punish her?

Thinking of this, Lu Junze showed a determined smile.

He understood the method to control her life!

Before leaving, Shen Xiyao asked Lu Junze for Chun Rixi's bag, but was refused.

She was not angry and explained patiently.

"Jun Ze, why don't you give it back to her yourself? Let me give it to her."

"This indirectly confirms the authenticity of your circle of friends!"

Lu Junze hesitated, but finally handed the bag to her reluctantly.
