They drove the car into the apartment’s garage as they couldn’t park it on the street anymore. But upon opening the back trunk, Wei Xingyue found out that there was no wine left.

“It’s fine, I’ll get it. Take my key and go up first.” s.h.i.+ Lei gave the key to Wei Xingyue without a second thought.

Wei Xingyue also thought that it was natural as s.h.i.+ Lei couldn’t make her go buy wine in heels. “It doesn’t need to be the best, but don’t get the really bad ones. Have a look, the Australian ones are the best, or Chile is fine too. Oh, you know I’m talking about wine, right?”

s.h.i.+ Lei rolled his eyes and walked into the lift.

s.h.i.+ Lei walked out at level one while Wei Xingyue stayed on. s.h.i.+ Lei walked out of the apartment’s front door and remembered that there was a specialty store for wine in a building that wasn’t too far from his school.

He quickly found and saw the brand that Wei Xingyue liked after searching for a while. It was the BIN series of Penfolds. He found that the price ranged from 700 to 800 yuan and grabbed two bottles before paying at the counter.

He only spent about ten minutes to walk from the shop to the apartment, about half an hour over all. He could only ask the guard to let him in despite not having the key, but luckily, the guard had recognized him seeing as though he had a propensity for bringing different women back to the apartment, each of whom were extremely beautiful – it would be hard for the guard to forget. When s.h.i.+ Lei walked into the lift, he felt like the guard wanted to say something to him but ultimately opted not to. s.h.i.+ Lei didn’t dwell on the matter and walked in.

s.h.i.+ Lei quickly arrived upstairs but as soon as he walked out, he heard a familiar voice. “You are … Why are you here?”

Then, another familiar voice spoke, “Why did you come?”

The two voices spoke one after another, but s.h.i.+ Lei could discern that one of them was Wei Xingyue’s voice, while the other intimidated voice was Sun Yiyi.

Holy s.h.i.+t! That’s bad! What the h.e.l.l is this!

Although s.h.i.+ Lei wasn’t guilty, he quickly dashed towards his house and saw Sun Yiyi standing right in front of the door. The door was opened and Wei Xingyue was obviously inside.

“Yiyi, why are you here!” s.h.i.+ Lei opened his mouth awkwardly. When Sun Yiyi opened the door only to see another woman inside, especially one of such exquisite beauty, it was hard for her to not misunderstand.

Sun Yiyi turned around and her voice turned slightly cold as she saw that it was s.h.i.+ Lei, “Brother s.h.i.+tou, you are back. I just had dinner with my mom and she told me to come and give you some soup. I didn’t think your house ….”

s.h.i.+ Lei figured that something was wrong through Sun Yiyi’s tone of voice and quickly stepped forward to look inside.

He thought, Isn’t it just Wei Xingyue? They have met before. Not to mention that he already told Sun Yiyi that Wei Xingyue and him were somewhat friends now. Why was she like this?

But when he saw Wei Xingyue, his nerve snapped and immediately understood why Sun Yiyi had misconstrued the situation.

Wei Xingyue was donned in only a bathrobe and it was hard to see whether or not she was wearing anything underneath. She was barefooted and although she had blue nail polish on which was cute, but why cute now! Why the h.e.l.l did you dress like this? It’s barely been any time and you’re already acting as if it’s your house?

But, bathrobe……

s.h.i.+ Lei smacked his forehead and remembered that he bought this bathrobe a few days ago when he went shopping. He saw in movies that wealthy people tended to wear a bathrobe at home after showering so he impulsively decided to grab one too. He didn’t really wear it after he came back as he didn’t have the habit of doing so, and so he left it in the closet. If it were not for Wei Xingyue wearing it, he would’ve forgotten that he even bought it.

Jesus Christ! I told you that it was a bad idea to drink at my place but you just had to! It’s already enough that you are here, but I just went to grab some wine, why did you also have to dress like this!

It was only now that it dawned on s.h.i.+ Lei the reason as to why the guard seemed like he had something to say to him. He had definitely seen Wei Xingyue going upstairs, after which he saw Sun Yiyi also come up. This must have led to him making the face of having Mars crus.h.i.+ng Earth.

He sighed deeply. s.h.i.+ Lei pulled the door closed and called out to the inside, “Please, put your own clothes on.”

Then, s.h.i.+ Lei held Sun Yiyi’s hands and whispered, “Yiyi, don’t be angry, I need to explain to you.”

Sun Yiyi’s eyes were red but she didn’t cry. She forced a smile to s.h.i.+ Lei and said, “Brother s.h.i.+tou, it’s fine. She’s really pretty. Now that you seem like you have a lot of money, you should have a pretty sister to accompany you.”

s.h.i.+ Lei shook his head and said, “It’s not what you think. Come, drop your things, let’s talk next to the windows.” Seeing that Sun Yiyi stood there motionlessly, s.h.i.+ Lei forcefully took the thermal container from her hands, put it on the floor with the wine in front of the door and pulled her to the window at the end of the corridor.

“Yiyi, do you think Wei Xingyue and I are something more than friends?”

Sun Yiyi didn’t speak and still had her head lowered, while her hands incessantly fidgeted with her clothes. s.h.i.+ Lei noticed that Sun Yiyi was wearing the clothes he bought for her.

“You’ve met her before, do you remember?”

Sun Yiyi nodded and whispered, “Yes, she’s the one who accidentally hit you with her car.”

“We became acquaintances because of this, but we never contacted each other after that. I went to a bar later and met her again, then we became friends. She’s a super rich miss. You’ve also seen Wei Qing before, they are the same kind of person and she’s even wealthier than Wei Qing. Rich isn’t the point but the main point is that wealthy misses and young masters like don’t really have any friends. You may not understand this, nor did I. I only came to slowly discover this after interacting with them.”

“I believe what you say.”

“That’s good. In short, we are just friends. Perhaps there aren’t many people out there who don’t care about her ident.i.ty as a rich second generation, that’s why she’s willing to hang out with me. Then, Wei Qing came to Wudong and I planned to have dinner with him, she just happened to come back from other cities at the same time so we let her tag along. But as soon as she arrived, I received a call from a relative …” s.h.i.+ Lei briefly recounted what happened to his family.

“How can that factory’s director be so bad? Is Uncle s.h.i.+ fine now? Brother s.h.i.+tou, why didn’t you tell me earlier? If you did, I could’ve gone back to Runzhou to help take care of Uncle s.h.i.+.”

“Idiot, what would happen to your mom if you went to Runzhou with me? Her body isn’t in good condition either right now.”

“Mom can already cook by herself and go out for a walk everyday……” s.h.i.+ Lei touched Sun Yiyi’s face tenderly and said, “Let’s not talk about this. Then, Wei Xingyue told Wei Qing to go to Runzhou to help. Although she didn’t directly show up, she did help out a lot. Finally, the problem was solved and the factory director will be sentenced to at least three years in prison. The headquarters of the factory also arranged people to not only give the house back to my father, but they let my father go back to work after recovery and even promoted him. So, I thought that I ought to thank her after coming back … Don’t you think I should’ve?”
