42: Chapter 42: Bubbling with Beauty 42: Chapter 42: Bubbling with Beauty At this mont, Lin Xi was walking off in a huff with Gu Fan trailing behind her.
No matter what Gu Fan said, Lin Xi was unresponsive, which was giving Gu Fan a headache.
He was at a loss for how to appease the lady’s fury.
Just as he was puzzling over this, a car pulled up and stopped by the side of the road where Lin Xi and Gu Fan were.
Gu Fan was left uncomfortable and at a loss for what was about to happen.
He hoped the person in the car wouldn’t add to the chaos.
The car’s door swung open and out ca the strikingly beautiful Su Hui, who greeted them warmly, “Lin Xi, all n are playboys.
Don’t take their words seriously.
Can I give you a lift?”
“Ah…” Gu Fan was slightly taken aback.
After thinking for a second, Lin Xi got into the car and sat down in the passenger seat.
Gu Fan wanted to say sothing but before he could, Su Hui stepped on the gas pedal and left him standing there alone, looking bewildered.
A nagging question preoccupied his mind: “What does she an, ‘all n are playboys’?
What does she an that a man’s words are never to be trusted?
Can soone be this ungrateful?”
Looking at Gu Fan’s helpless face from the rearview mirror, Su Hui chuckled, “Your boyfriend must be feeling pretty flustered right now.”
“Who cares?” Lin Xi replied.
As she pretended to look out the window to enjoy the scenery, a thought occurred to her — she had agreed to get in the car to see what Su Hui was planning.
Su Hui started to speak, “I know why you’re angry with Gu Fan.
No matter what, he shouldn’t have been at the amusent park with another woman.
This type of behavior is indeed infuriating.
Yesterday, he could go to the amusent park with , and today he could have dinner with another won, hence you shouldn’t let him off easily, otherwise he’ll never learn.”
After hearing this, Lin Xi was slightly surprised but nodded in agreent.
“Believe , you cannot spoil n.
They need so discipline now and then.
And you should never put all your hopes on a man.” Su Hui spoke casually, almost as if she was just chatting.
She added, “Do you know why I moved into Gu Fan’s house?
Because I trusted n too much.
I didn’t leave myself an out and when things went sour, I had nowhere to go.
So I temporarily stayed at Gu Fan’s.”
With a subtly widened gaze, Lin Xi looked at Su Hui in surprise.
Suddenly, she realized Su Hui was a woman with interesting stories and Lin Xi was curious to hear them.
“So, do you want to hear a fellow woman’s relationship advice?” Su Hui grinned, laughing sincerely.
Her warm deanor made Lin Xi feel closer to her, and her curiosity overshadowed her initial resentnt.
With a bitter smile, Su Hui began telling her story, “He was very nice to , almost too obedient.
I thought I had found the one I could spend the rest of my life with.
I trusted him unconditionally.
Do you know what happened?
When I opened the door and saw him betraying ..
I was filled with anger.
I couldn’t stand the betrayal.
In spite of having no place to go, I decided to move into Gu Fan’s house.
So, believe , no matter how nice a man is to you, regardless of how much he makes you feel like you’re his whole world, always rember that all n are the sa.”
“Uh…” Lin Xi didn’t know what to say.
She was cut short by Su Hui who seed upset, “Do you know what’s even worse?
He shalessly ca looking for , saying it was his family who arranged everything, not what he wanted.
He said he truly loved .
Can you believe these n?
They use sweet words to lure us in and then don’t cherish us once they have us.”
As Su Hui continued talking, her anger increased and so did her speed.
The consequent reckless driving left Lin Xi anxious.
Su Hui continued her narrative, “Yesterday, I asked Gu Fan to accompany outside to clear my mind.
I had just broken up with that jerk, and I was in a terrible mood.
My friend had gone to another city, and I didn’t want to be alone.
I didn’t want to look so pitiful and helpless.
I needed soone to accompany to get over my loneliness.
These last few days have been tough.”
“So, Sister Su, you…” Lin Xi started to ask in a soft voice, only to be t by Su Hui’s cunning smile, “Don’t worry about .
It’s just that talking about that jerk makes angry.
And thinking about it, maybe it was fate.
It was destiny that I went through this breakup and was feeling lonely.
It was destiny that Gu Fan and I went to the amusent park and saw two college students disappearing.
That gave sothing else to focus on.
I really want to solve this mystery, I want to find out if it has been done by a human or a ghost.”
Following Su Hui’s remarks, Lin Xi looked at her in surprise, to which Su Hui casually smiled.
“You can continue being angry at Gu Fan, and I support you in that.
But after cooling off, we should also understand our current situation.
Now is not the ti for bickering.”
“Co with to a place.
I realized I still need soone to accompany .” As Su Hui said this, she drove to a mall.
It was a place with nurous big brands, which Lin Xi, a regular college student, could only window-shop passed by on a regular day.
“Get out!” Su Hui said as she stepped out of the vehicle and Lin Xi, feeling puzzled, followed her out of the car, staring at Su Hui with a bewildered expression.
“Do you know what makes won the happiest?
Gu Fan doesn’t understand; he only knows how to bring to amusent parks.
But I believe you get it.” Su Hui’s smile was full of hidden aning, to which Lin Xi nodded her head in agreent, “Gu Fan probably understands, but he just doesn’t have the money to bring you here.”
“Fair point.” Su Hui laughed, and Lin Xi joined her.
Led by Su Hui, Lin Xi followed her closely into the mall.
anwhile, on the other side, Gu Fan was waiting anxiously, wondering how Su Hui and Lin Xi were getting along.
He wondered if they might start fighting in the car, causing the vehicle to go out of control and crash into Yuan Cheng, the heartless man at the side of the road—a perfect thod for revenge.
“Wait, why am I thinking of such dark scenarios?” Gu Fan shook his head, scratching his ears and cheeks in anxiety, unable to wait any more.
Lu Yi ca over to comfort him, “Man, you need to stay calm.
If you and Lin Xi break up because of Su Hui, then as the one responsible, Su Hui needs to make it up to you.
No matter how you look at it, you won’t be at a loss.
You’ll gain novelty in return and it may turn out to be a good deal.”
Listening to this nonsensical but sowhat logical talk, Gu Fan could only laugh dryly, passing it off as the joke it was.
Lu Yi quietly asked, “Honestly, have you grown tired of being with Lin Xi for such a long ti?
Have you ever thought of changing?
Previously, you had no opportunity, but now Su Hui is presenting herself.
It seems like the heavens are intending to give you a chance for a May-December romance.”
Gu Fan sighed bitterly and shook his head, “Why do I feel like this is a test from the heavens—wanting to see if I can still stay firmly by Lin Xi’s side no matter what kind of woman I encounter or how good a woman cos along.”
“Wow, you’re unexpectedly devoted.” Lu Yi couldn’t help but give a thumbs up, before looking at Gu Fan disdainfully, “Were you implying that Su Hui is better than Lin Xi?”
Gu Fan slapped Lu Yi across the face to shut him up, refusing to listen to his nonsense that disturbs others’ minds.
Suddenly, the sound of a car parking outside made Gu Fan’s and Lu Yi’s hearts skip a beat, and they both turned their gaze to the main gate.
As the door opened, Su Hui and Lin Xi walked in together, laughing and carrying nurous shopping bags.
On their way upstairs, they didn’t spare Gu Fan a glance, walking in lock-step, arm in arm, very casually.
“What is this?” Gu Fan and Lu Yi looked at each other, both wearing bewildered expressions—Su Hui and Lin Xi seed to have built up a deep bond like that of sisters.
Lu Yi sighed, “Really, what kind of creatures are won?
I just can’t figure them out.”
Gu Fan also expressed his puzzlent; he had been worried that the two won would start fighting, but clearly, there was nothing to worry about now.
The sound of feminine laughter ca from upstairs every now and then; they seed quite excited.
Gu Fan guessed they were trying on clothes, and testing makeup.
Having had more social experiences, Su Hui would definitely have a lot of valuable experience to share with Lin Xi that could take her fashion sense to the next level.
Lu Yi said, “Seeing those two won having so much fun upstairs while we two n sit here, don’t you think we look a bit pitiful?”
“You didn’t have to ntion it, but now that you did, I am starting to feel cold.” Gu Fan shivered slightly.
He was at a loss and could only hope things would pass quickly.
After waiting nearly two hours, when Gu Fan and Lu Yi felt like they were going to turn into fossils, Su Hui and Lin Xi finally descended the stairs.
“Oh my God…” At first sight, Gu Fan was astonished.
Both won, especially Lin Xi with her exquisite makeup, had taken their looks up a notch.
Lin Xi looked just as glamorous as Su Hui now.
The beautiful dress, the belt cinching her waist, accompanied by high heels, accentuated her maturity.
Suitable accessories complented her look.
Lin Xi had transford into a cosmopolitan white-collar woman—a level of sophistication rarely seen in college won.
A person’s fashion sense doesn’t co overnight.
It requires observing others, buying many clothes and gradually finding the style, size, color, and quality that truly strike your fancy.
The most important thing about clothing is how it can bring out a person’s spirit.
The most crucial part of that is finding the right size.
Right now, Lin Xi was wearing a dress that fit her perfectly, as if it was tailor-made for her, displaying her attractive figure to its full extent.
Seeing Gu Fan’s stunned expression, Lin Xi felt a surge of pride.
She thought, “That’s what you get for upsetting .
Now regret it.
I’ll dress up and look pretty, and then not let you touch .”
