Chp 2301: How Small and Insignificant

As Ning Shu got up from the couch, she felt much better as the energy of the Unsurpassable Martial Arts could slowly repair the body.

Recently, Xue Jing had been under a lot of psychological pressure, and this caused her body to be under a lot of pressure as well.

Many things weighed heavily on her heart, and her mind was in a mess. Not knowing what to do, she had lived each day like a dead man walking.

When Ning Shu drew the curtains, she covered her eyes with her hand as the sunlight shone upon her face.

Instantaneously, her heart brightened up.

As she thought of the universe and the thousands of astral planes that existed, she was reminded of how small and insignificant she was. Nothing mattered as much as it seemed.

At the same time, there was nothing that couldn’t be solved.

She took a deep breath and inhaled a huge amount of air deep into her lungs.

While she prepared breakfast, she hummed a simple tune and ate leisurely after that.

She had to work hard to pay the housing loan and strive to reach the pinnacle of life.

After having a few more portions of breakfast, she started to practice again. Until now, An Xuchen and Yan Suni still had not called to give her an explanation.

Maybe they were having a good time together now.

Ning Shu couldn’t wrap her head around why Yan Suni would let her best friend marry her boyfriend.

In the end, she was nothing but selfish. She said that she did not want to get married, yet she wouldn’t give up on An Xuchen.

On top of that, she felt as though she was being generous towards Xue Jing. Was Xue Jing that worthless in her heart?

In spite of everything, Xue Jing was still a graduate of a prestigious university and was also a capable employee in her company.

The only thing was, she was not as pretty as Yan Suni.

In fact, Yan Suni looked down on a little Xue Jing for being a spinster that no one wanted to marry. Although Yan Suni herself had no intention of getting married, she had many suitors.

Her boyfriend’s family were pressing for them to get married, and Xue Jing was also rather old and wanted to get married. So, Yan Suni came up with this plan to take advantage of the situation.

To her, even if her boyfriend was married, he was still her boyfriend.

This was the first time that Ning Shu had seen something so absurd.

Sure enough, the longer you lived, the more you would realize how ridiculous things could turn out. Who knew what she would encounter in the future?

As Ning Shu practiced, she was suddenly interrupted by the sound of her phone ringing.

She stopped and picked up the phone. At once, a voice roared through the phone. “Xue Jing, I’ve been waiting for you and it’s almost two hours past our agreed time! What the hell are you doing?”

“Are you going back on your words?” Wang Ke’s voice sounded furious. “I’m giving you another half an hour. If you’re not here by then, I’m going to send an email about us to everyone in our company tomorrow!”

“You’d better come here quickly if you don’t want me to tell your husband. Don’t make me mad! I’m really upset right now.”

Ning Shu put her phone on the table and listened to him fuming on the other end of the call, before pulling her hair up while tying it unhurriedly.

Right after, she put on a layer of heavy makeup which made her look different from usual.

She put on a pair of pants and a shirt because wearing a skirt would only make it easy for that *sshole.

When she was done, he was still giving her an earful on the other end of the phone.

Putting her phone into her bag, Ning Shu glanced at the bottle of medicine that she had prepared yesterday and then headed to the hallway to change into a pair of shoes before leaving the house in high spirits.

Even if this world was not meant for a good break, she was determined to take a good break.

Soon after, she called a cab and headed to the address that Wang Ke gave her.

The place that he had asked to meet at was a hotel. As soon as she arrived, she saw him pacing back and forth in front of the hotel.

Wang Ke was a thin man who was still single and had never had a girlfriend before.

That was why he hung on to Xue Jing.

When the cab stopped in front of the hotel, she paid the driver.

As soon as Wang Ke saw her, he marched right towards her and complained unhappily, “What were you doing? Do you know how long I’ve waited for you?”

Chp 2302: Where Was the Promised Break?

Ning Shu turned to look at Wang Ke. He was average-looking and nothing about him particularly stood out. Besides, he was just a normal employee in the company.

That was why no woman was ever interested in him.

Though Xue Jing was not as pretty as Yan Suni, she was still an attractive and delicate woman.

Wang Ke was probably aware of his condition, and that was why he forced her to have s*x with him every time.

Nonchalantly, she told him, “I told you I was busy.”

“Oh, so you were with your husband? Don’t forget that I’m also your man. Technically, I’m your husband as well, so you need to spend time with me too, alright?” Wang Ke sneered.

“Go in.” He reached out to grab her shoulder, but she dodged away swiftly and said, “I can walk on my own.”

Wang Ke only gave her a quick glance—it didn’t bother him how she resisted—and walked towards the reception desk to book a room.

Suddenly, he asked her, “Do you have any cash?”

Ning Shu: ...

Seeming to have sensed her scornful stare, Wang Ke rushed to explain, “I usually use my credit card, so I don’t carry cash with me.”

Ning Shu’s mouth twitched as soon as she heard this. Not only did he want to sleep with her, but he also wanted her to pay for the room.

At that moment, she felt utterly disgusted.

Where was the promised break?

“Sir, we accept credit cards too,” the receptionist said.

At once, Wang Ke’s face twitched before he took out his credit card.

The room only cost 100, yet he still needed to pay with his credit card.

“Give us a room on the second floor,” Ning Shu requested, “And send some water up, will you? We would like to have some.”

Right after, Wang Ke took the room key and they headed upstairs. As they made their way up, he started acting inappropriately and wanted to touch her waist.

However, she stepped away almost immediately.

As soon as they entered the room, Ning Shu surveyed the room and noticed that there was only a bed and a bathroom.

Impatiently, Wang Ke started taking off his clothes and came up to hug her.

Once again, she dodged away, and this made him really upset. Irritated, he complained, “You’re already here, so why are you still trying to play hard to get?”

Smiling brightly, Ning Shu said, “It would be so boring if we only did it like this. Let’s have some fun.”

When Wang Ke heard this, a look of excitement flashed across his face. “How would you like to have fun? I’ll do whatever you want,” he responded eagerly.

Just then, the doorbell rang. It was the water that she requested before.

By then, Wang Ke was already fully undressed, so he hid under the covers right away when the waiter arrived.

After taking over the kettle from the waiter, Ning Shu proceeded to pour some water into a cup and mixed the medicine that she had brewed yesterday into it before shaking the cup.

“Drink this,” she instructed him.

“Okay.” Wang Ke seemed excited yet nervous at the same time. His throat was dry and itchy, so he took the cup of water that she had handed to him.

With big gulps, he drank the water and then turned to her and asked, “So… What are we playing?”

Smiling sweetly, she answered him, “No hurry, let’s play something exciting!”

Wang Ke shook his head with a sleepy expression. When he raised his head, he saw that she was walking towards him.

All of a sudden, she reached out to strangle him, but then let go shortly after.

A horrified look flashed on Wang Ke’s face as he scratched at his neck frantically as though he couldn’t breathe.

In his eyes, this woman with a contorted face was trying to kill him. She was strangling him!

Unable to breathe, he grabbed a glass cup and bashed it on her head. However, he was actually hitting himself.

At that moment, in his eyes, he saw that he had beaten her to death, but he was still struggling to breathe.

Ning Shu took out her lipstick and smeared it all over her face, then shouted, “You killed me! Give me back my life!”

Chp 2303: Stay Away From Me!

Ning Shu put on bloody makeup on her face, and she reached out staggeringly to choke Wang Ke’s neck.

Wang Ke was so frightened that his face was twitching. Eyes closed, he kept flailing his arms. “S-stay away from me, stay away from me!”

Ning Shu said eerily, “You killed me, and you must pay with your life.”

“N-no, that was an accident.” Wang Ke’s pupils dilated as he watched her come near.

In his eyes, Ning Shu’s face was full of blood, and her hair was long and lank, in the spitting image of a female ghost.

“I will never let you go! You raped me, and you even killed me. I will haunt you forever!” Ning Shu squeezed out her words. It was surly and full of resentment, causing him to tremble even more.

“It wasn’t me. It was an accident! Please forgive me.” Wang Ke begged.

“You even tried to tell others about this. Wang Ke, you must die!” Ning Shu reached out and choked him.

Whimpering, Wang Ke looked extremely terrified. At last, he couldn’t take it anymore and ran out of the room, naked. When he was making his way down the stairs, he fell and tumbled down, before scrambling out of the hotel.

And just like that, he ran outside, completely naked, causing all kinds of screams along the way. The bystanders were also covering their eyes.

As if he had encountered something horrifying, Wang Ke kept stumbling as he ran.

Finally, he was arrested by the traffic police on duty and was sent to the detention center.

When Wang Ke saw the police, he became even more terrified because, in his mind, he had just killed someone.

His body shook violently as he remained silent. All he could see was Xue Jing, whose face was covered entirely in blood.

“I killed someone, I killed someone,” Wang Ke mumbled, “Please let me go. I won’t do this again.”

After hearing his words, the police went to the hotel, only to find nothing there.

After Wang Ke ran away, Ning Shu went to the bathroom and washed the lipstick off her face. Then, she took out a wide-brimmed hat from her bag and put it on before leaving the motel.

On Monday, Wang Ke did not come to work. Glancing at his seat, Ning Shu smiled faintly.

What a coward! He dared to commit a crime, yet he didn’t have the courage to face his mistake.

When the manager contacted Wang Ke, the police informed him that Wang Ke had streaked on the street and was being detained for two days.

The manager: ...

With that, the whole company knew that Wang Ke streaked in public.

After Wang Ke was released from detention, he came to work. However, his mental health was still poor, and he was absent-minded.

Upon seeing Wang Ke, everyone couldn’t help but laugh.

The drug Ning Shu gave Wang Ke was a hallucinogen, and it could cause one to hallucinate and have drastic mood swings.

At that time, his thoughts were distorted. Everything Wang Ke saw and heard was all distorted.

As Wang Ke drank some water, he looked exhausted. At the same time, there was a hint of horror on his face.

“Hey, Wang Ke! Why did you get detained?” A male colleague patted Wang Ke’s shoulder, scaring him so much that he fell off the chair.

At once, the male colleague’s hand froze, and then he looked at Wang Ke in surprise. “Are you alright? Didn’t I just tap you softly?”

In a panic, Wang Ke stood up and pulled out a chair before sitting down. “I-I was doing a performance art.”

Chp 2304: There’s a Ghost!

“Performance art, huh? You’re quite funny,” the male colleague couldn’t help but say. The other female colleagues were also watching Wang Ke’s bizarre act with a strange look on their faces.

Just then, Ning Shu stood up and handed a document file to Wang Ke, who was opposite her. Then, she said, “Please photostat this document.”

Wang Ke raised his head and reached out to take the file. Upon seeing Ning Shu, he froze.

Today, Ning Shu was wearing bright red lipstick. And since she was also wearing foundation, her face was very pale, making her lips look even redder.

At this moment, Ning Shu was smiling at Wang Ke, revealing her porcelain white teeth that were stained with lipstick. It was extremely creepy.

In an instant, Wang Ke felt as if all his hair was standing on end and his mind exploded with shock. He was frozen in a daze.

Scowling, Ning Shu continued in annoyance, “What are you doing? Hurry up and photostat this. Since you haven’t come to work these last couple of days, work has been piling up. You should hand in your paperwork quickly.”

However, Wang Ke just kept staring at her moving red lips, thinking that it looked like she had just drunk some blood and that her teeth were covered with blood. “There’s a ghost!” A shrill scream came out of his throat, startling everyone in the office. Puzzled, they gazed at Wang Ke, who had suddenly gone mad.

Right after, Wang Ke fell to the ground and kept scrambling backward with a horrified expression.

Ning Shu was also dumbfounded and asked a colleague beside her, “What the hell is wrong with him?”

“I think there’s something wrong with his brain.” The colleague couldn’t help but roll her eyes as she replied.

When Ning Shu took the documents and walked toward Wang Ke, he quickly crawled away, keeping a distance from her. “Stay away from me, stay away from me.”

“Wang Ke, what the hell is wrong with you?” Ning Shu said in an annoyed tone.

As soon as she came close to him, Wang Ke became extremely terrified. “There’s a ghost! A ghost!”

“Hey, Wang Ke! She’s not a ghost. It’s Xue Jing,” a colleague said before glancing at Ning Shu again. “But Xue Jing, your makeup skill is quite bad. With that pale face and red lips, you somewhat do look like a ghost.”

Ning Shu rolled her eyes. “Nonsense, only those who have a pale face and black lips look like a ghost, okay? My makeup is sexy and charming.”

“What sexy and charming? Didn’t you see how terrified you made Wang Ke?” The female colleague replied spitefully.

“She’s a ghost, not a human! A ghost!” Wang Ke broke down and shouted, “Can’t you all see that she’s a ghost?!”

Ning Shu shrugged helplessly towards the others, then went back to her seat.

Wang Ke kept staring at her. Cautiously, he returned to his seat and knocked his head. Then, he rubbed his eyes and turned to Ning Shu again.

With that, Ning Shu tugged her scarlet red lips and said in an irritated tone, “Wang Ke, do you have a problem with me?”

At once, Wang Ke’s face turned green, and he didn’t dare to look at her anymore. His expression filled with bewilderment.

The entire day, Wang Ke was absent-minded, and he did everything in a daze. Each time somebody called him, he would only react after they repeated his name several times.

Although the supervisor had been observing him, Wang Ke had never noticed as well.

Whenever Ning Shu spoke to him, he would tremble and stare at her in a puzzle.

As soon as she approached him, Wang Ke would become so scared that he would shiver violently. “I’m sorry, please stop following me around. I’m really sorry!”

As everyone in the office was staring at Ning Shu, she shrugged. “He’s too engaged in doing performance art that he has gone mad now. Am I seriously that terrifying?”

“Does he have some mental illness?” someone asked.

“Looks like it.” The others nodded. Wang Ke indeed did look like he was crazy.

While everyone was saying that Wang Ke looked crazy, he himself thought they were the ones who were blind.

Chp 2305: She Really Is Dead

Wasn’t this woman already dead? Why were these people still talking and working with her?

“She’s a ghost! She’s already dead! Can you all please come to your senses?!” Wang Ke shouted as he broke down.

He felt like he was the only one in this world that was still seeing things clearly, and this feeling was so painful.

“She’s dead. She really is dead.” Wang Ke could still see it. He had smashed Ning Shu’s head with a glass and blood had flowed down all over her face.

The crowd: …

Ning Shu asked, “How did I die then? Tell me.”

“You… I...” Even though there were still hallucinogenic drug effects remaining in his body, Wang Ke still did not dare to confess that he had killed Ning Shu.

“What are you all doing? Stop messing around and go back to work.” Just then, the supervisor came out of his office and glared at the crowd in displeasure.

At once, everyone in the office returned to their seats. Meanwhile, the supervisor stared at Wang Ke, who was in a daze, with an unfriendly expression.

“Come to my office,” he ordered.

However, Wang Ke didn’t move and just stared at Ning Shu who was on the computer.

When the supervisor saw that Wang Ke did not follow him, he opened the office door once again. Poking his head out, he yelled, “Hurry up!”

With that, Wang Ke’s body trembled and he quickly entered the supervisor’s office.

From outside, people could faintly hear the supervisor’s voice. When Wang Ke came out of the office, he looked very dejected.

“Wang Ke, are you alright?” A colleague asked him.

“The supervisor told me to get some rest back home,” he replied.

After all, Wang Ke couldn’t work in this condition.

In fact, there was still one thing he hadn’t told them—that was, the supervisor had asked him to go for a brain checkup.

However, Wang Ke felt that he didn’t have any issues. It was these people who had issues.

“Wang Ke, once you recover you should hurry and come back to work. The company cannot do without you,” Ning Shu eerily told him.

Wang Ke’s hair rose on end and he shivered. He then hastily ran away.

Seeing this, Ning Shu shrugged helplessly to the crowd. When she saw Wang Ke’s bag on his desk, she picked it up and chased after him.

“Wang Ke, wait! Your bag...”

As Wang Ke turned around, he saw Ning Shu parting her bloody mouth, so he ran even faster. “Don’t follow me, don’t follow me! Please let me go, please!”

Ning Shu stopped running and watched Wang Ke’s panicked figure indifferently.

God, he was so weak. She didn’t even look like a ghost right now. Plus, he should at least give her a big slap across the face to see if she was a human or a ghost, right?

Carrying Wang Ke’s bag, Ning Shu returned to the office and threw it onto his desk.

“Where’s Wang Ke? You didn’t pass him his bag?” asked the female colleague sitting next to Ning Shu.

“He ran away. He disappeared instantly as soon as he saw me, like I was a ghost,” Ning Shu answered helplessly.

Afterwards, she started working.

After resting for a few days, Wang Ke came to the company to resign.

Actually, the supervisor had already been pretty displeased with Wang Ke. Wang Ke was an employee who didn’t have an important role in the office.

Furthermore, he had also been acting crazy recently. Since Wang Ke was the one who took the initiative to resign, the company would not have to pay him a three-months’ salary as compensation.

Thus, the supervisor agreed to his resignation without hesitation.

When Wang Ke was packing up his things, Ning Shu asked him, “Did you resign because you have a problem with me?”

His face instantly turned pale as he stared at Ning Shu whose eyes were ringed unnaturally in black due to her smokey eye makeup. “W-what do you want?”

“I don’t want anything...” Ning Shu purposefully dragged out the last word.

Hurriedly, Wang Ke packed his things up, then ran as fast as he could while carrying the cardboard box.

Seeing this, Ning Shu let out a long sigh.

Chp 2306: Finally Handled One Douchebag

She had finally handled one douchebag.

If Wang Ke came after Ning Shu again, she had a backup plan.

That hallucinogenic was extremely strong and would leave a lasting effect on the central nervous system. If Wang Ke ever came to pester her again, then she would just give him another unforgettable experience.

Xue Jing’s affair wouldn’t be exposed now that Wang Ke had been dealt with.

Enraged people don’t usually do the wisest things.

In fact, infuriated people shouldn't make any important decisions because they were guaranteed to make the wrong choice.

Why did Xue Jing have to use such a stupid method to take her revenge?

A man’s pride wouldn’t allow him to accept that a woman cheated on him. However, that only applied if said man cared about her.

Did An Xuchen look like he cared about Xue Jing?

Now that she had settled the matter of Wang Ke, she needed to deal with An Xuchen and Yan Suni.

What should she do with them?

Ning Shu pondered it.

Saying that the entire household was pretty much held up by Xue Jing alone was an understatement.

They never wrote any sort of prenup before getting married. Hence, Xue Jing knew nothing about An Xuchen’s financial status.

Xue Jing handled the down payment for their house and was also the one who paid all of their household expenses.

So what was the difference between her being married or staying single?

Moreover, Xue Jing even had to serve An Xuchen. She had to hand-wash his underwear and socks, iron his suit, and get up early in the morning to prepare his breakfast.

After their falling out, An Xuchen had taken the clothes that Xue Jing had neatly folded from his closet and tossed them in his luggage. He then left, luggage in hand.

Ning Shu cultivated until the next morning. Then she ate breakfast and headed out to find An Xuchen.

When she arrived at Yan Suni’s door, she rang the bell.

Yan Suni answered the door, her hair draped over her shoulders. She wore a long T-shirt that revealed her pale, slender legs. Her feet were bare and her tiny toes were painted red.

Her legs looked exceptionally beautiful on the carpet.

How pretty!

Models really did have amazing figures! Though she had only thrown on a random t-shirt, Yan Suni still looked very charming. Sure enough, a beautiful person could look good in anything.

“Jingjing.” Yan Suni gazed at Ning Shu with mixed feelings before stepping aside. “Come in.”

Ning Shu changed her shoes at the entrance and walked into the living room, looking around the house as she did.

Yan Suni’s house was stylishly decorated. Seriously, every woman should live this opulently.

That being said, why did she need to drag others into such big messes?

She didn’t need to sacrifice everything for others, but she shouldn’t drag them into a complete disaster either.

Perhaps Yan Suni didn’t consider this a mess.

“Here, drink this. It’s your favorite.” Yan Suni sat down across from Ning Shu after placing a glass of juice down in front of her.

Her legs looked especially long as she sat. Those pale and slender legs–they were very pretty.

A person’s appearance was truly a gift from the heavens. Although Yan Suni’s work ethic wasn’t as strong as Xue Jing’s, she was ten times richer.

Ning Shu didn’t drink the juice. Instead, she asked, “Where’s An Xuchen? I need to talk to him.”

“He went to work. There’s an impromptu meeting,” Yan Suni replied, running her fingers through her hair.

Ning Shu: ...

The atmosphere immediately turned awkward. Why was a wife asking her husband’s girlfriend where he was?

Their relationship was tangled and abnormal. However, neither An Xuchen nor Yan Suni noticed anything wrong with their situation.

That was all due to the fact that Xue Jing’s existence was solely for the purpose of keeping An Xuchen’s parents from bothering him. The two never thought of Xue Jing as having any effect on their relationship.

Chp 2307: Marriage Is a Responsibility

Therefore An Xuchen and Yan Suni stayed together without any hesitation, as if Xue Jing just didn’t exist.

Xue Jing was the only one who cared, making her the one who looked crazy.

Neither Yan Suni nor Ning Shu had anything to say and were left staring blankly at each other. Yan Suni finally sighed and said, “Jingjing, didn’t I ask you to live a good life with An Xuchen? I won’t ruin your marriage and you know that I’ll never get married. So why are you still throwing a fit?”

Although Ning Shu already knew that Yan Suni always said that, thanks to having received the story’s plot, she was still shocked when she heard the words coming from Yan Suni’s mouth.

“Could it be that the three of us are going to maintain this kind of relationship forever?” Ning Shu asked, astonished. “An Xuchen and I are married!”

“An Xuchen is married. Marriage is a responsibility, a commitment that carries certain legal and moral obligations to one’s family and society.” She stared at Yan Suni.

“So? He already married you.” Yan Suni tucked a strand of hair behind her ear with a perplexed expression. “Jingjing, I don’t know why you’re so bothered. An Xuchen and I have been a couple since the beginning. I’ve told you countless times that I’ll never, ever destroy your marriage!”

Ning Shu: Please stop talking. I need a few moments of peace.

“Don’t you think that your relationship with An Xuchen is immoral?” Ning Shu asked.

This conversation was exhausting and they clearly couldn’t reach an understanding.

Yan Suni thought Ning Shu was being unreasonable and Ning Shu thought Yan Suni was being self-righteous.

Yan Suni was the one who used her own best friend. Yet she acted like she was doing her a favor.

Ning Shu was seriously flabbergasted.

“Immoral? From a certain point of view, marriage is immoral as well. It restricts a person’s right to pursue love freely. Can anyone guarantee that they’ll only love one person in their entire life?”

“Everyone has the right to pursue happiness,” Yan Suni replied, looking at Ning Shu.

Ning Shu rolled her eyes at that. “If he wanted to play around, why did he get married in the first place? Since he’s married now, he should at least have a little contractual spirit and abide by the rules of the game. If he wants to break the rules, then he should stop playing.”

“If An Xuchen was single, I wouldn’t care less about him playing around,” Ning Shu said impatiently.

Yan Suni pouted. “Yeah, but An Xuchen’s parents kept pushing him.”

Ning Shu: Damn it. I’m completely speechless now.

“And since you didn't want to get married, you made me marry him?” She really wanted to crack open Yan Suni’s beautiful skull to see what was inside.

“You were eager to get married and he was in a hurry. You guys are perfect for each other.”

‘Perfect’ her arse! Ning Shu never felt this helpless before.

She really didn’t want to speak to Yan Suni anymore.

Even if the original owner of this body was an old, unmarried woman that didn’t mean she should just marry someone at random.

Ning Shu picked the glass up and drank it. She was thirsty after all that talking. Despite all her efforts, she felt like she was speaking to a brick wall.

Yan Suni had a staunch point of view and Ning Shu had her own.

There was no way they could come to an understanding like this.

Yan Suni reached out to hold Ning Shu’s hand but Ning Shu shook it off without hesitation.

The former was stunned and also somewhat saddened by the rejection.

“Jingjing, we grew up together and we share everything. You should just live a good life with An Xuchen. I can give him love but not marriage; you two are the ones who’ll live together forever.”

“I just want short-term happiness, not a ‘forever’.” Yan Suni looked at her. “I hope we won’t become distant over this.”

Ning Shu’s expression turned cold. How could Yan Suni be so shameless?!

In fact, Ning Shu wasn’t even angry. She just felt powerless for being on the outs with Yan Suni.

Yan Suni clearly didn’t believe she was at fault. There was no way for someone unaware of their wrongdoing to feel guilty.

Instead, all Yan Suni felt was that Ning Shu was heartless and unreasonable.

“Why did you come over today?” At that moment, Yan Suni changed the subject.

Chp 2308: A Love Story Between an Urban Couple

Ning Shu suddenly handed her glass to Yan Suni. “I’m thirsty. Please pour me another cup.”

Though momentarily stunned, Yan Suni refilled the glass. Ning Shu gulped it down and said, “I’ll wait for An Xuchen to come back.”

“Sure.” Yan Suni agreed without hesitation.

As the two silently waited for An Xuchen, Yan Suni began to exercise and do yoga.

Meanwhile, Ning Shu sat on the sofa and practiced the Unsurpassable Martial Arts.

It took until the afternoon for An Xuchen to return. He was tall, handsome, and wore a tailored suit.

Ning Shu always believed this plot should’ve been a love story between an urban couple: one where Yan Suni and An Xuchen were the main characters.

After dancing around one another, they would eventually get married.

True love finally changed Yan Suni’s view of marriage.

When An Xuchen saw Ning Shu, he frowned before she even said anything.

Yan Suni took the lead and told him, “Talk properly, and don’t fight.”

Ning Shu: …

She really couldn’t get used to this odd relationship.

Ning Shu thought to herself: The husband, the wife, and the mistress… Uh...

After setting his bag down, An Xuchen loosened his necktie and asked, “Have you thought it through? Do you still want a divorce?”

“Chen, you can’t file for divorce! If you do, how will you deal with your parents? Jingjing was just confused,” Yan Suni said hurriedly.

If the two of them got divorced, she, An Xuchen’s girlfriend, would be pushed to marry him again.

She would never get married, no matter what. She was a free spirit and marriage would only imprison her.

A woman’s life didn’t revolve around marriage.

In fact, Yan Suni was somewhat afraid of it. More importantly, she didn’t want to be bound by it.

“Such a marriage only harms everyone, so it’s better to file for divorce. I’m just not good enough, that’s why you didn’t want to marry me,” An Xuchen replied helplessly.

Ning Shu stomped her feet. She still fricking’ standing right here...

“This is what the relationship between us three will be like. If you can accept it, we won’t get divorced. If not, then let’s file for divorce,” An Xuchen told her. Hearing that, Ning Shu felt her hand itch as the urge to slap him grew stronger.

The next second, she put on a false smile. “I agree. We should all live happily together.”

“It’s good that you finally thought things through, Jingjing.” Yan Suni grabbed her hand. “Isn’t this nice?”

Ning Shu: ...

“All’s well that ends well,” she said, breathing heavily.

After that, Yan Suni cheerfully went to pack An Xuchen’s things up. A few moments later, she finished packing.

She seemed extremely happy that An Xuchen would leave with Ning Shu so quickly.

Ning Shu had so many questions. Yan Suni was definitely the most bizarre and unbelievable person she ever met.

“You guys should leave now,” Yan Suni said. “Don’t fight anymore.”

Ning Shu: ...

What could she say to that?

She felt seriously helpless facing someone like this.

Chp 2309: Shouldn’t Be Desecrated by Marriage

Looking helpless, An Xuchen asked Yan Suni, “Do you really want to kick me out so badly?”

“Just go. You know that I don’t like us living together like a couple,” she replied.

He sounded concerned as he said, “Stay safe at home alone.”

“Yeah, I know. Jingjing is a good woman, a good wife. You must treat her well,” Yan Suni exhorted An Xuchen.

Ning Shu put on a poker face.

“You can always come over when you miss me.”

Ning Shu kept her poker face up.

After that, Yan Suni turned to Ning Shu and said, “Jingjing, don’t worry. I’ve never shared a bed with An Xuchen. We sleep separately.”

Ning Shu still kept her poker face up.

“Love is beautiful and shouldn’t be desecrated by marriage. Think about it! The person you used to see as perfect is now sleeping next to you, farting, grinding his teeth, picking his nose, scratching his legs, and won’t even close the door when using the toilet. Isn’t that horrifying?”

“You even have to wake up to a greasy face and stinky mouth every morning. That’s simply a disaster! You get disillusioned.” Yan Suni then reached out to hug Ning Shu. “Jingjing, I will never destroy your marriage.”

Ning Shu: I need some peace...

“You guys should go now.” Yan Suni let go of Ning Shu as she spoke to the two.

Then, she gave An Xuchen a hug. “Hurry up and go.”

After kissing Yan Suni, he left with his luggage in hand. When he saw Ning Shu still standing there in a daze, An Xuchen coldly said, “Let’s go.”

“Coming,” she answered, her voice shrill.

At that moment, Ning Shu wondered if she was living in ancient times where men had many wives.

She felt her dignity was already beyond saving.

As they walked out of Yan Suni’s house, Ning Shu looked at An Xuchen pulling his luggage along in front.

He had a nice figure and the suit he wore exuded a sense of ascetic temptation.

What was the point of having an attractive appearance? He was still a jerk.

How could he use Xue Jing without feeling any guilt?

Ning Shu sat in the passenger seat. Somehow, she still thought that An Xuchen looked very handsome as he drove.

A mature man with the charm of one.

An Xuchen gave Yan Suni all his tolerance and care. Since she didn’t want to get married, he married her best friend.

Seriously...

They were both weirdos. They were the champions of all weirdos.

An Xuchen handed Ning Shu his luggage when they arrived at home: an obvious signal for her to hang his clothes up.

However, she pretended not to see it. With an indifferent tone she said, “I’ll go prepare dinner.”

An Xuchen had no choice but to hang the clothes up by himself.

When he came back down, Ning Shu had already cooked two bowls of instant noodles.

Though she gave herself the larger portion.

Frowning, An Xuchen pulled out a chair and sat across from her. He then stared at the instant noodles. “We’re only eating this?”

“Just make do with this. I’ve been eating like this lately because my mood still hasn’t recovered.” Ning Shu slurped loudly as she ate her noodles. The sound caused An Xuchen to frown again.

She then continued on. “Oh, I have something to tell you. My company is currently cutting staff. I paid the down payment for the house and also spent a lot to renovate and furnish the house, so I’m broke now. Give me money.”

In response, An Xuchen scowled so heavily that his eyebrows looked like caterpillars. “Why are you so tacky? All you talk about is money.”

Ning Shu: ...

God. Did An Xuchen also live as celestially as Yan Suni? No, he just didn’t want to give her money.

Damn it! I even bought the instant noodles you’re eating right now!

“Yeah, I’m tacky. Anyway, starting next month, I won’t be able to afford to pay the mortgage anymore. Since both our names are on the deed, I shouldn’t be the only one paying for it.”

Chp 2310: Give Me Money

Ning Shu burped as she slurped up the soup. “Though there are a lot of preservatives in this, it tastes pretty good.”

Shifting his gaze, An Xuchen asked, “You called me back here because you wanted to ask me for money, right?”

Ning Shu: ...

Ning Shu was speechless when she saw his aggrieved expression. Could it be that he thought it had been because she couldn’t bear to be without him?

“We’ll have to sleep on the street if we don’t pay.” She held her hand out. “Since we’ll be together for the rest of our lives, we should go through thick and thin together.”

Then, Ning Shu’s smile turned grim. “Together the three of us can definitely live happily. For ever and ever...”

Indifferently, An Xuchen said, “I didn’t actually want to marry you.”

“I know, but we’re already married.” She held her hand out again. “Give me money.”

“But Yan Suni said you were a good woman.”

“I know. Give me money.”

“I’ll never break up with Yan Suni, so we can file for divorce if you can’t accept that.”

“I know you can’t leave her side. The three of us will just have to live happily together. Now give me money.”

“How much?” An Xuchen said, gritting his teeth. “Yan Suni never asks me for money.”

Haha. What Yan Suni wanted was a perfect relationship. Asking for money would only tarnish her love.

“Two hundred thousand,” Ning Shu replied nonchalantly.

An Xuchen almost jumped at that. “How much?”

“Two hundred thousand. When we got married, I was the one who paid for everything in this house. So two hundred thousand isn’t that much,” she explained in an annoyed tone. “This house is under both our names. You want to get the property ownership certificate quickly too, don’t you?”

The mortgage was still not fully paid off, so they hadn’t received the certificate yet.

Scowling, An Xuchen replied, “I really don’t like you being so calculating.”

“I know you don’t like it, but I’m still going to say it. Give me money.”

“Give me money.”

“Give me money.”

“Give me money.”

“Money, money, money… All you think about is money!” His gaze turned cold. “If the issue is my name being on the certificate, then I can have it removed and the house will be all yours.”

Ning Shu: ...

She squinted at An Xuchen. “What do you mean?”

“We’re going to the bank tomorrow to sort this out. I won’t be accountable for this house anymore.”

Ning Shu: F*ck.

“You mean you’re going to transfer ownership of the house to me?” Ning Shu stared at him in disbelief.

To avoid giving her money, he decided to make it so that the house would only be in her name.

“That’s right. We’re going to the bank tomorrow.” An Xuchen’s decision was final.

Ning Shu shook her head. “I thought I already understood what the world was like, but I still ended up being defeated by you.”

She had no choice but to admit defeat.

Ning Shu forced her lips into a smile and said, “As long as you’re happy, anything is fine.”

An Xuchen pushed his bowl away. “I don’t like instant noodles.” As soon as he finished speaking, he stood up and went into his room.

Ha. He didn’t like instant noodles? Ning Shu directly dumped the noodles into the trash. It was up to him whether he wanted to eat it or not. Personally, she would rather throw them away and let him eat it.

After that, she cleaned the kitchen up. When the doorbell rang, Ning Shu went to open it and saw a delivery man carrying fast food.

He didn’t want to eat instant noodles so he ordered takeout instead?

“Please wait a moment,” Ning Shu told the delivery man.

Because she didn’t pay for him, An Xuchen was very displeased when he handed the money over.
