Summary
Xu Feimo told everyone the news that he was taking up his new post in Suzhou.
He kept it from only one person: me, his fiancée.
He did this because he detested my simple-mindedness and hated how I always clung to him.
“This promotion is all thanks to the recommendation from Senior Xu in Quzhou. I must pay him a visit to express my gratitude.
“Zhu Xiaoying? There’s no need to tell her. She’s like a dog; she’ll follow the scent all the way to Suzhou on her own.”
I overheard his conversation and went back to gleefully pack my little floral bundle.
In the past, he was always the one leaving me behind. This time, I would go to Suzhou first and wait for him.
When Xu Feimo arrived in Suzhou and saw how clever Xiao Ying was, he would surely be stunned.
But the next day, when the boatman asked where I was going, I scratched my head. I couldn’t remember.
Suzhou? Quzhou? Or was it the other Suzhou?
The boatman picked at his ear impatiently and moved to push me aside.
Terrified that the boatman would scold me like Xu Feimo always did, I hurriedly shoved some silver into his hand and gave him a fawning nod.
“Quzhou. I’m going to Quzhou.”
