Wu Nan stared blankly at the glass in the cafe, her voice a little helpless. "Yes, I'm going to marry him. The elders of both families like our union very much and say we are a match made in heaven. Miss Yin, love is a matter between two people, but marriage is a matter between two families. I have been in love with other men before, and I found that when getting married, I need to find a responsible man who is willing to take responsibility. He will be good for me and the next generation."

I was stunned. It turned out that Wu Nan also saw everything clearly.

"If you ask me whether I still love him, I may not be able to answer myself. However, since I have decided to marry him, I definitely hope that he will like me more in the future." Wu Nan gradually calmed down.

I nodded: "Love is the spice of marriage. If there is love in it, marriage can also be full of flavor."

Wu Nan squinted his eyes and looked at me. "You are so young, but your understanding of the truth is so profound. It really surprises me."

I never considered her a love rival or competitor. When I spoke to her, I was speaking from the heart, so Wu Nan could feel my sincerity.

"I just... read some more books and came to some conclusions from them." I smiled calmly.

"Beicheng said you were a very ambitious girl. I thought he said that because he favored you, but now it seems he was just stating the truth." Wu Nan looked at my face and said, "I was the one who instigated the photo incident last time. You won't blame me, will you?"

How could I not blame myself? I was being lambasted online for no apparent reason. If I hadn't clarified things on Weibo, I'd probably still be infamous.

I didn't say anything, just lowered my head and drank my coffee.

"I'm sorry. When I heard that the elders of both families had decided on our marriage, I wanted to find an opportunity to prove myself. It's obvious that Beicheng still cares about me." Wu Nan inexplicably regained his confidence. "The relationship between him and me is not something you can compare to. You are just a wild flower he saw on the roadside, and I am the rose that has been planted in his garden since I was a child. Wild flowers are fragrant, but they can't withstand the wind and rain. Unlike roses in greenhouse gardens, they can't be carefully cared for."

I heard the sense of superiority and warning in Wu Nan's words.

I don't deny that her analogy fits the facts, and I won't even refute her.

"Ms. Wu, I understand what you mean. I am not an ungrateful person, and I don't think that eggs can hit stones." I said with my head down.

Wu Nan was very satisfied with my reaction, and then she stood up: "Since you are still sensible, I will not care about the past grudges. However, from now on, Su Beicheng is my husband, a married man, and you can't touch him."

My face turned pale. Wu Nan's words were full of hostility.

"Please rest assured, Miss Wu. I have many suitors and I will have a new boyfriend soon." I gave her a reassuring answer.

Wu Nan laughed out loud: "Tsk, you are so sensible. I'm afraid Beicheng will find it difficult to forget you. What will you do if he comes looking for you in the future?"

My heart skipped a beat. What could I do if Su Beicheng came looking for me?

"Ms. Wu, I will not have anything to do with him, please rest assured." I could only assure her again.

"Some original sins don't necessarily mean that something hurtful happened, but that you are too beautiful, do you understand?" Wu Nan said and walked past me.

I was frightened to the point of being cold all over. Beauty is the original sin.

If Su Beicheng comes to me and forces me to do something, not only will I be unable to resist, I will also have to bear all kinds of charges. Is that what you mean?

After Wu Nan left, I fell into a chair, feeling panicked and confused. Why do these women like to make things difficult for other women?

I have already told her that I will not compete with her, but she still wants to accuse me of original sin.

After leaving the cafe, I went home and bought a bouquet of flowers that I liked and some food that I liked to eat.

I sat quietly in the living room, eating while flipping through a book. Next to me was the laptop I bought. After finishing the book, I still had to study English.

I don’t want to waste every minute and every second of my time. I always feel that one day I won’t be able to make it in this country and I may need to live abroad.

Once I have money and master foreign languages, it will not be difficult for me to go anywhere.

My Weibo has stopped updating, and many people have come up to ask me when I will continue updating. I just said that I am under a lot of pressure from studying at the moment, and we will see each other again in the future.

Those who support me have been concerned about me in the comment section, telling me not to overwork myself.

It’s not that I’m under a lot of pressure from studying. I just don’t want Su Beicheng to continue paying attention to my new life.

Men are actually cats who like to steal fish. Su Beicheng and I live like fish in water, and he is actually quite fascinated by it. I discovered it in bed.

So, I was afraid that my brilliance would attract this big cat. What if he was unhappy with the arranged marriage between Su Beicheng and Wu Nan, and he secretly came to see me? What kind of person would I be then?

As soon as today's class ended, I made an appointment with two foreign friends to play badminton.

I was wearing sportswear and running back and forth on the court. I was sweating, but it relieved the depression in my heart.

"Jingjing, I want to play two rounds with you, is that okay?" Just when I stopped to drink water, suddenly, a male voice came from the side.

I turned around and found that Chu Rui had been sitting on the chair next to me. How long had he been here?

"I'm no match for you." I said modestly.

Chu Rui was instantly flattered by my compliment. He stood up lazily, his slender figure giving him some of the elegance of a cheetah.

"Then I... will give way to you." As Chu Rui spoke, he moved closer to me, and it sounded extremely ambiguous.

"Who asked you to give in? It's not shameful to lose." I immediately retorted.

Chu Rui had a smile in his eyes. He took the racket from the student next to him and tapped it lightly on his palm. His momentum as if he was going to knock me down made me retreat a little.

At this moment, he actually exuded a sense of masculine aggression, and I was a little intoxicated.

As soon as we got on the court, Chu Rui's attack was indeed fierce, and I was really struggling to receive the ball. Several times, he almost knocked me down.

Chu Rui started to let me win, and I gradually regained the advantage. In the end, we ended in a draw. Chu Rui looked annoyed: "How could I lose to a woman? It's so embarrassing."

I pursed my lips and smiled secretly. He clearly gave in, but he was still regretting it.

"Jingjing, are you free tonight?" Chu Rui suddenly came over and asked me, "How about having dinner together?"

I lowered my head to pack my personal belongings. Although I didn't look up to see his expression, I knew that this was his invitation.

"I'll treat you." I put the racket behind my back and said sincerely, "I've washed the clothes you borrowed last time and will return them to you tomorrow. I'm treating you to this meal because of your kindness in lending me the clothes."

Chu Rui's eyes lit up, obviously he didn't expect that I would agree.

After we said hello to our friends, we left the court together. Chu Rui suddenly lowered his voice and said to me, "Do you know why I lost?"

I stared at him in amazement.

"Because the two balls on your chest are too eye-catching. This is not a game at all. You've lost your soul." Chu Rui said this jokingly and then laughed secretly.

I glanced down at my clothes, and since they were tight fitting, I was definitely conspicuous.

"Why didn't you get dizzy from looking at it? If you look at it again next time, I'll dig out your eyes." I pretended to be angry.

Chu Rui immediately said happily: "Then...will there be a next time?"
