Strangely, Ye Youyou felt nervous.
This man… This man couldn’t be expecting to spend the night over at my place, could he? No, that’s impossible. He with his own lips that he wouldn’t. It is unlikely that this guy would go back on his word and risk that damage to his reputation. Furthermore, we aren’t exactly on familiar terms with each other, are we?
Ye Youyou felt a little doubtful as she warily stepped into the bathroom. She saw herself in the mirror. Her hair was wild and unruly and still dripping water. Her complexion was pale, and her eyes were red and swollen. The makeup that she had specially applied had melted down her face. Two dark circles were evident around her eyes.
There was only one way to describe her; she cut a sorry figure indeed. Ye Youyou laughed bitterly and found that she had been pathetically foolish.
Given my current demeanor and looks, what possessed me to think that Li Jinnan would want to chase me?


It was more likely that he was taking pity on her. Looking into the mirror, Ye Youyou reached out to touch the portion on her chest that had been hit and pressed on it gently.
That apple hadn’t just been an apple.

Li Jinnan took a look around the sitting room. A huge picture hung in the middle of the sitting room. It was a photo poster of Ye Youyou. It had been shot very stylishly in black and white. It looked exquisite and beautiful.
With eyebrows slightly raised, he seemed very satisfied. He had initially assumed that she would have a wedding photo blown up to hang in her home. Immediately, he came to the realization that this was a single-occupancy apartment.
Oh yes, theirs was a marriage for show.
Since it was a marriage for show, it was certain that they didn’t live together or sleep together. It was also likely that nothing physical had transpired between them. Li Jinnan cheered up considerably at that thought.
Under the huge picture, he saw a few ornaments. They were figurines that looked like they had been fashioned from clay. One of them bore a slight resemblance to Ye Youyou. As for the male figurine at her side… Is that Shen Luo’an?
Li Jinnan picked up the male figurine and turned it over. As expected, he saw the word
An
carved at the bottom.
The other two figurines had the words
Que: and
You
carved respectively.
Que
probably referred to Ye Youyou’s stepsister that Ye Qianqian had mentioned. She was the ballet prodigy that had later become a cripple.


Li Jinnan sympathized with the unfortunate plight of the lady. His eyes didn’t linger on the figurine for long before he turned and headed into the kitchen. The fridge was bare and empty. There was nothing inside at all. Moreover, everything in the kitchen had been put away or covered. The place was packed very neatly. Evidently, she hadn’t yet set foot into this home upon her return from Kingstown.
Li Jinnan took another look around. Ye Youyou suddenly emerged from the bathroom. Her hair had just been blow-dried and was let loose. She was dressed comfortably in a housecoat. The colors were neutral. She looked clean and fresh.
He took a look at her and said,
You look a lot cleaner than before.
With that, he looked at his watch,
It’s past eight. I haven’t had dinner. Have you?

Ye Youyou had been hungry for some time. When she heard the question, she shook her head and replied,
There’s a restaurant below that isn’t too bad. You’ll see when once you go down.

Is she sending me off?
Given the person that Li Jinnan was, he understood it immediately. Pretending as if he hadn’t heard anything, he asked straightforwardly,
I feel like eating noodles. Do you know how to prepare that? Let’s go grocery shopping.

He headed to the door as he spoke without caring if Ye Youyou agreed to it or was willing to at all. At the door, he turned to look back at Ye Youyou and said,
Let’s go.
