"Xin Xin, his car is worth over a hundred million!" "You have to keep yourself in check! Don’t lose your composure!" "Remember why you’re here, and remember that you’re a married woman!" Yang Xinxin’s friends reminded her in the group chat, afraid she might lose herself and seduce Su Xuan into doing something scandalous. The real reason they warned her, however, was selfish. They didn’t want Yang Xinxin to win over Su Xuan. What they couldn’t have, they didn’t want her to have either. As friends, their financial status, resources, and even their men were all on a similar level, which maintained a certain balance. If Yang Xinxin got together with Su Xuan, she would instantly be a tier above them, shattering that balance. "I know, I know!" Yang Xinxin replied perfunctorily. She then hurriedly caught up to Su Xuan, exited the group chat, and put her phone away. "Su Xuan, this car is gorgeous. It must have cost millions, right?" she asked, standing beside the Koenigsegg and feigning ignorance of its price. This was her clever little trick. By pretending not to know the car’s value, she could delude herself into interacting with Su Xuan as an equal. If her attitude toward him changed later, he wouldn’t think it was because of the car. This way, my tiny shred of dignity can be... blasted. Pfft, I mean, preserved. Any thought she’d had of showing off in front of Su Xuan, of knocking him down a peg, had crumbled to dust before the Koenigsegg. I’m utterly powerless! "Something like that," Su Xuan replied with equal nonchalance, opening the door and getting into the car. Liar! Yang Xinxin muttered inwardly before getting into the car as well. "Handsome Su Xuan, long time no see! It’s such a pleasure to see you again!" Yang Xinxin’s attitude had completely transformed as she enthusiastically extended her fair hand toward him. Just moments before, she had been disdainful of shaking his hand. Su Xuan frowned slightly but reached out and shook her hand. To his surprise, however, she gripped his hand tightly and refused to let go. "Oh my, Su Xuan, your hands are so delicate and smooth! I’m a girl and I’m jealous!" she exclaimed. "You can’t possibly be a deliveryman. Tell me the truth, which online store did you buy this courier uniform from?" Yang Xinxin pouted with a look of mock annoyance. "I really am a deliveryman," Su Xuan said, trying to pull his hand back. "I don’t believe you for a second, hmph!" Yang Xinxin reached out with her other hand, grabbing Su Xuan’s hand with both of hers and trying to place it over her heart. "Yang Xinxin," Su Xuan said, his voice firm, "we’re just former classmates. Please be serious." Content orıginally comes from 𝖓𝖔𝖛𝖊𝖑~𝖋𝖎𝖗𝖾~𝖓𝖊𝖙 Her behavior reminded him of his previous job, where his female supervisors and colleagues would constantly find excuses to make passes at him. His expression darkened slightly. Just because the law is more lenient with them doesn’t mean women should feel free to harass men! "Oh, sorry!" Noticing the change in Su Xuan’s expression, Yang Xinxin quickly released his hand. In truth, she hadn’t wanted to be so aggressive. Before getting into the car, she had devised numerous plans to win him over. It was as if my IQ had soared to a staggering 250! But the moment she sat in the car and held his hand, she became completely infatuated. All her carefully laid plans and her friends’ warnings vanished from her mind, and she grew desperate. Yang Xinxin, get a grip! The more forward you are, the more passive your position will become! You’ll end up losing everything! she silently reminded herself, taking a deep breath. She was determined to conquer Su Xuan. If she succeeded, she wouldn’t mind divorcing her current husband. She had mentally calculated her family’s finances; all their assets combined wouldn’t be enough to buy a car . Water flows to lower ground, and people climb to higher places. Her current husband surely wouldn’t blame her! "Su Xuan, I was just trying to get you to feel whether I’ve lost weight or not," Yang Xinxin said, quickly composing herself. She pressed her knees together, placed her hands on them in a ladylike pose, and continued, "When I heard I’d get to see you while visiting Teacher Wang, I starved myself for a whole night. I weighed myself this morning and I’ve lost two pounds!" "Oh," Su Xuan replied, pulling the car out of the parking space. "Do I look different? Do I seem much older than I did in high school?" Yang Xinxin leaned closer, tilting her meticulously made-up face toward him. In her mind, she narcissistically rated her own looks a 99.99 out of 100. But before she could get a response, the car had already reached the parking lot exit. "Sir, I need to pay for parking," Su Xuan said to the elderly attendant as he rolled down the window. "Cash or scan?" the attendant asked, then paused, his eyes widening in astonishment. "Wait a minute... you’re... you’re that courier who climbed the high-rise to save someone!" He recognized Su Xuan. He had seen the morning news, which showed the footage of Su Xuan scaling the building and the subsequent interview with Su Zimo. "That wasn’t me. You must have the wrong person," Su Xuan said with a smile. "Impossible!" the old man said sternly. "I’ve worked in this parking lot for most of my life. I’ve seen all sorts of famous actors, singers, and dignitaries, but I’ve never seen anyone as handsome as you. I might mistake someone else, but never you. What, you do something so heroic and you’re afraid of being recognized for it?" "Sigh," Su Xuan let out, exasperated. "Your parking is on the house! Go on, get out of here!" the old man said cheerfully, pressing the button to raise the barrier. Su Xuan insisted on paying, but the man steadfastly refused. With other cars now lining up behind him, Su Xuan had no choice but to drive away. "Su Xuan, you really climbed a tall building to save someone?" Yang Xinxin asked, amazed. She found herself reassessing him yet again. Handsome, rich, and also incredibly brave and compassionate. He has all the best qualities! There’s no justice in this world! How could I have been so stupid back then? Why did I give up after just one love letter? I should have drugged him, if that’s what it took! I should have knocked him out and made it a done deal! A wicked glint appeared in her eyes. "It was nothing worth mentioning," Su Xuan said flatly, keeping his hands on the steering wheel as he merged onto the highway heading back to the city. "Su Xuan, I keep forgetting to ask, do you have a girlfriend?" "No, I don’t mean regular friends. I mean *that* kind of friend!" "Why do you want to know?" Because I want to pounce on you and possess you, dammit! she thought, but didn’t dare say it out loud. "Sigh," Yang Xinxin let out a dramatic sigh. "I still don’t have a boyfriend. Ever since I fell for you back then, I just haven’t been able to accept anyone else." Su Xuan glanced at her hand, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. A large, sparkling diamond ring sat on her ring finger. "Oh, this ring? I bought it myself. It’s not a wedding ring," Yang Xinxin said hastily, having watched his expression closely. She quickly pulled the ring off her finger. "I just wear it so other men don’t get any ideas..." Su Xuan suddenly slammed on the brakes. Staring straight ahead, he said, "There’s been an accident up ahead..."
