chapter 27

I went to the Shopping Mall with my Cousin Sister, and from afar I spotted Yu Sisi and her roommate.

Just as I was about to greet her, she put on a hat and sunglasses, grabbed her roommate, and sneakily ran away.

Her swift and fluid maneuver left my Cousin Sister and me standing there, dumbfounded.

My Cousin Sister teased me, “Your girlfriend is quite a character.”

She really is.

Whenever a woman appears around me, she always has that “I get it, don’t worry” look and quickly retreats.

The more she acts like this, the more inexplicably annoyed I get.

Isn’t jealousy supposed to be part of the dating experience?

I decided to teach her a lesson by ignoring her, letting her reflect on her own.

But instead, she didn’t get my point at all. She even escalated, retreating fully armed whenever she saw me.

Doesn’t she realize that wearing a hat and sunglasses on Campus, then sneakily hiding behind a tree and peeking out, only makes her stand out more?

To keep Yu Sisi from embarrassing herself further, I decided not to argue with her.

Coincidentally, it was my mom’s birthday, and I wasn’t in the mood to look for her anyway.

After drinking for several days, everyone thought Yu Sisi and I had fought.

They’d seen my WeChat Moments where I announced my relationship with Yu Sisi behind her back.

When Yu Sisi showed up, they started giving random advice.

I felt embarrassed and continued to pretend to sleep.

Yu Sisi, for once, kindly took me home.

Looking into her sparkling eyes and listening to her elementary school-level motivational talk, I suddenly felt that being in love was actually quite wonderful.

Although Yu Sisi’s way of comforting people is a bit annoying, the feeling of having every word responded to is really nice.

I wanted to confess, but Yu Sisi’s mind was so full of money that she successfully talked me out of it.

It’s too soon anyway, and I have money, so I can take my time.

As time passed, I grew more and more used to Yu Sisi’s company.

I know that in Yu Sisi’s heart, our relationship is limited to money. But for now, I can’t change that, so I just endure it as much as I can.

Until-

My Cousin Sister’s due date was approaching, and she’d been feeling uncomfortable more frequently.

She sent me a WeChat message just to complain that I hadn’t visited her lately, asking if I’d forgotten she was still pregnant.

But when Yu Sisi thought she was the Mistress and even offered to take care of her during Postpartum Confinement, I couldn’t take it anymore.

I lost my temper and didn’t bother explaining to Yu Sisi.

If she wants to take care of Postpartum Confinement, let her do it.

Anyway, to her, it doesn’t matter whose Postpartum Confinement she’s taking care of.

When I calmed down and wanted to explain things to Yu Sisi, I ran into her and Jiang Yifan talking face to face.

Frustrated, I went home alone.

The next day, Yu Sisi was still stubborn, but her face was pale and her eyes were dark. While I felt sorry for her, I also had a bold guess.

Turns out Yu Sisi likes me too.

I don’t even know when I started liking Yu Sisi.

Maybe it was when she called me husband without hesitation.

Maybe it was when she carefully remembered my preferences.

Maybe it was when she played along with my sarcasm to help me vent.

Maybe it was when she openly showed her little money-grubber nature.

Maybe it was when she not-so-cleverly coaxed me into signing the Contract.

Maybe it was when she wore sunglasses and hid everywhere.

Each scene stayed in my memory, eventually coming together to form her image.

I know Yu Sisi’s secret.

On my graduation day, I accidentally saw her Notebook.

On the title page, she had written two lines herself.

“Hope Yu Sisi has a bright future.”

“Hope Yu Sisi and Song Yan, year after year.”
