Chapter 170: Chapter 170: "Cheating
The two of them joked while holding the ring, the man handsome, the woman beautiful.
Today, the girl wore a white hollow-collared shirt, the hem tucked into high-waisted jeans, a pair of sneakers, with a backpack. Her long black hair was tied into a high ponytail, revealing her forehead. Without makeup, her face looked soft as she smiled.
Xiao Yu’an, rare in a suit, stood tall. His profile, even in photos, displayed superiority, his uplifted smile carrying a hint of amusement.
Such a well-matched picture.
Mu Ran was silent.
She had returned from kindergarten, having had a good time, only to find an email at home.
The photos showed Xiao Yu’an and a girl choosing a ring. Mu Ran leaned back, eyes vacant, hands weakly hanging down. What was this all about?
— Xiao Yu’an had cheated.
Mu Ran was skeptical. Thought it over, she chose to call to verify: "What have you been doing recently, did you go out today?"
Xiao Yu’an initially wanted to nod, but remembered how people say proposals should be secret. So instinctively, he lied: "No."
"Oh, I see. I missed you today; can we video chat?" Mu Ran said coyly.
Xiao Yu’an had no resistance, but for some reason, the moment he opened the video chat, Mu Ran’s smile disappeared.
Mu Ran knew this email must be someone’s trick, sent directly to her hands.
Yet, she now video chatted with Xiao Yu’an, wearing the same clothes he wore buying the ring.
A suit!
The hairstyle was the same.
Xiao Yu’an, seeing her cold expression, asked worriedly, "What’s wrong? You don’t look well."
"Yes, I don’t look well, very unwell." Mu Ran hung up, bitterness swelling in her heart.
She paced back and forth in the study.
Among her acquaintances, no couples or married people had cheated, so the idea of a boyfriend cheating wasn’t in her mind.
And being confident in herself, she thought a boyfriend cheating wouldn’t be a big deal, but now facing it, she found herself in turmoil, far from calm as she’d claimed.
She almost wanted to beat up Xiao Yu’an!!
If he liked someone else, couldn’t he break up first before pursuing? It had reached the point of marriage.
Mu Ran was really upset. She messaged him: "I’ve found someone I like, let’s break up."
She dared to say this was the world’s worst breakup excuse.
But a bit of self-esteem left her unwilling to lose face in front of Xiao Yu’an.
Xiao Yu’an, who had just envisioned their wedding today, saw her breakup message at night, his face instantly darkened.
He called Mu Ran.
She blocked him.
Xiao Yu’an called Xiao Jin, "Is your aunt home now?"
Chu Xijin: "No."
"Then, when she’s back, call me." Xiao Yu’an said.
Chu Xijin: "Uncle, is something going on between you and Auntie?"
"Did your aunt go to your kindergarten with a man today?"
"Yeah, it was Brother Yun Fei. He and Auntie planned to play games and make a documentary together. Seems like there’s something between them." Chu Xijin lied with open eyes.
Xiao Yu’an’s heart skipped heavily.
His Adam’s apple moved, full of bitterness, as veins popped on his hand holding the phone. He suppressed his strength to prevent the phone from getting deformed. "Got it, have your aunt call me later."
"Okay." Chu Xijin nodded.
Then messaged Xiao Baocang: "I’ve sent you the anime and documentaries my aunt loves. Organize Yun Fei’s social media and send it to Xiao Yu’an."
Xiao Baocang: "Got it!"
He added: "Are they about to break up?"
Chu Xijin exhaled: "Soon."
Although a wish came true, thinking about their pain made Chu Xijin not very happy.
They were the two in the world who loved him most. Chu Xijin genuinely wished they could find their own happiness, not fall into an abnormal relationship.
At night, tossing and turning in bed, Chu Xijin was worried about their pain.
Mu Ran was indeed upset, drinking one bottle after another. The breakup excuse wasn’t what she had imagined.
Turns out even exceptional women get cheated on. How could this man be so blind?!
Mu Ran was fed up!
Even when at kindergarten, she had turned down the affections of a young admirer. Now it seemed she was just being self-indulgent.
How stupid.
*
Xiao Yu’an took the airplane back to the country that day, needing to think how to deal with Yun Fei.
He looked like just a kid. What charm could he have that would make Mu Ran like him?
At best, he played games and watched anime, what was so amazing about that?!!
Xiao Yu’an’s brows were heavily burdened with aggression.
Just off the plane, greeted by people from Old Master Xiao, his face even grimaced: "What do you want to do?"
"Young Master, we are very sorry. The Old Master wants you back, it might delay your schedule." The bodyguard whispered, thinking the young master seemed even scarier than the old master.
"And if I don’t agree?" The man’s tall, strong frame, his features rugged and masculine, with sharp black eyes glinting cold, his sensual thin lips tightly pressed, gave a formidable and commanding presence.
The bodyguard was internally distressed: "You could talk about it with the Old Master. We’re just messengers. The Old Master hasn’t involved himself in your matters; this urgency hopes for your cooperation."
Xiao Yu’an, with a cold face, got into the car.
By the time the car drove into the Old Master Xiao’s residence, the old master was waiting there, using a cane, slightly hunched, but with eagle-like sharp eyes glaring severely at his rebellious grandson.
"Xiao Yu’an, do you know what mistake you made?!"
"What mistake?" Xiao Yu’an impatiently loosened his tie.
"You actually dared to offend the Wu Family’s eldest son. He’s their only precious child. You offended the Wu Family, if it were business, that’d be one thing, but you did it over a woman, hurry up and break up!!"
Xiao Yu’an lifted his eyelids slightly, his gaze gradually growing cold: "As you wish, we already broke up, just today, satisfied?"
Old Master Xiao was instantly at a loss for words.
Originally, his plan wasn’t like this. He wanted to use the young couple’s relationship to bring his grandson back, hoping he’d inherit the family business, but now the sudden breakup left him speechless.
"You really... lost both the wife and the army."
"Enough talking?" Xiao Yu’an became increasingly impatient. Seeing the tea the maid brought in, he wasn’t in the mood to taste it, "I have things to do, I’m leaving."
"Hey, since you’ve already broken up, I won’t talk about it again. How about I host a blind date event for you?"
