Chapter 224: Chapter 152: Someone’s Always After Another Man’s Wife

He figured Xiao Ran must be up by now and had hurriedly given him a call.

Hearing the phone ring, both of them silently sighed.

One was disappointed.

The other felt the same way!

The girl stared at Xiao Ran’s phone, a frustrated expression on her face. Her glare was practically overflowing with resentment!

’So annoying!’

’And just like that, our promised kiss was gone!’

’It felt like I’d missed out on a billion dollars!’

Xiao Ran reached for his phone. Seeing it was Shi Guang, he answered without a word.

"Hello, Brother Shi."

At that moment, Yan Xici was still clinging to Xiao Ran, unwilling to let go.

’I promise I won’t do anything, I’ll just snuggle a little!’

When she heard him say "Brother Shi," Yan Xici’s eyelid twitched.

At that thought, she couldn’t help but press her body even tighter against his, her head slowly inching toward his ear.

She wanted to eavesdrop on their conversation.

The girl’s body was incredibly soft and carried a sweet fragrance.

It felt like a soft cat was pressed against his chest, and the sensation was pure torture for Xiao Ran.

It was the first time Yan Xici had ever seen such an expression on Xiao Ran’s face, and she found it strangely amusing.

This made her even bolder.

What had started as innocent eavesdropping suddenly became something not so innocent at all.

She even had a mischievous impulse!

Her soft lips gently pressed against the base of his neck.

The sensation was like touching cotton candy—simply wonderful beyond words.

Soft and moist.

In that instant, Xiao Ran’s heart lurched!

’This girl!’

’She’s getting completely out of hand!’

’Teasing me on purpose while I’m on the phone!’

Shi Guang, oblivious on the other end of the line, said in a perfectly serious tone, "Same old place. Don’t be late."

"No problem. Don’t worry, for something this important, I definitely won’t be late."

Right then, Xiao Ran was so agitated he just wanted to hang up the phone!

Hearing the words "something important," the girl clinging to him suddenly remembered that Xiao Ran had to go sign a contract today.

She sat up straight and, on instinct, started behaving herself.

Pushing off with her legs, she slid right off the table and sat down on a chair.

She picked up the milk on the table and took a sip.

’That’s Brother Xiao Ran’s editor on the phone, and I just did something like that...’

’I wonder if he’s angry with me, if he thinks I went too far!’

The more she thought about it, the more she regretted her actions, tinged with a hint of shyness.

A faint blush even crept onto her cheeks.

It was warm and slightly sweet—very delicious.

"Alright then, I just wanted to give you a reminder. See you in a bit. I’ve already printed out the outline, so you don’t need to worry about it."

"Okay, Brother Shi. You’re the best. See you in a bit."

"See you in a bit!"

After he hung up, before Xiao Ran could say a word, the girl spoke first.

"Um... uh... let’s eat breakfast."

After speaking, she guiltily picked up an egg, carefully peeled it with her slender, fair hands, and placed it in Xiao Ran’s bowl.

"Brother, have an egg."

...

After breakfast, the two of them left together. First, he dropped Yan Xici off at the school gate, and only then did Xiao Ran head toward their meeting place.

It was morning, and brilliant sunlight spilled into every corner.

There were quite a few people on campus.

The campus looked lively, with some students coming out of the cafeteria and others heading toward the academic buildings.

The girl kept her head down, her steps hurried.

She was terrified someone would point and shout, "Hey, look! It’s the mistress who stole her brother-in-law."

And then start throwing things like eggs and vegetable scraps at her.

Clearly, she was worrying for nothing.

After all, these were university students; they had at least that much decency.

In fact, most people were busy with their own affairs and didn’t notice her at all. Not daring to linger, Yan Xici hurried straight into the academic building.

She headed for her classroom.

As she walked, she felt a wave of relief. ’Thank goodness, this is nothing like I imagined!’

By now, quite a few students were already seated in the classroom.

Wu Hui was sitting with a few other girls, chatting animatedly.

Her long hair was draped over her back. She wore a camisole and hot pants, revealing a large expanse of her fair skin.

"By the way, have you guys heard? Yan Xici is with Teacher Xiao from the library. And get this—Teacher Xiao is her ex-brother-in-law. So shameless."

Back in their freshman year, the two had a falling out over a trivial matter.

At the time, the freshmen were electing a class monitor. The teacher favored both Yan Xici and Wu Hui and wanted the class to vote for one of them.

Yan Xici didn’t actually want to be the class monitor, so she immediately declined, saying she wasn’t a good fit.

Afterward, Wu Hui became the class monitor as a matter of course.

But she had always felt that Yan Xici had done it on purpose.

Because of this incident, she had harbored a dislike for Yan Xici for three years.

Especially after Yan Xici became more popular and more people started watching her videos, Wu Hui just couldn’t understand what was so great about her that was better than herself.

Hearing Wu Hui say this, a girl next to her looked surprised. "You know about that too? I saw a video last night. The vlogger who posted it was crying her eyes out."

With that, a few of the other girls joined in, their conversation growing even more animated.

"I saw that video last night too. To be honest, I actually feel kind of sorry for Yan Xici. For real, if my sister pulled something like that on me, I’d probably disown her on the spot."

"How do you know they haven’t already cut ties?"

"Damn, I messaged her about it yesterday, and she didn’t even reply. I bet she’s too embarrassed!"
