Little Miss Devil: The President's Mischievous Wife

If she had a choice Lu Xinyi wouldn’t step on that place again. She would rather stay at home and be lazy while waiting for her husband to come home than to see those people.

Did she really have to face them?

Lu Xinyi turned her new car on the right and found a vacant spot to park it. While she insisted to her husband that she didn’t want a car of her own, he still gave her one of his latest car in their garage.

If Gong Yijun can see what Shen Yi could provide for her, he will surely vomit with blood.

She turned off the engine of her car and took off her shades. Surely, she looked better now than before. No, not that Shen Yi had started to shower her with gifts and luxurious dresses but because she felt she wasn’t the same person who left for a cruise vacation with her heart in pieces.

She took her black jacket from her passenger seat and stepped outside the car. Making her way out of the parking lot of the mall, her mind remember the days when she struggled to keep up on her working schedule._-.

Her phone beeped, making her stop to take it from her pocket. Reading the message, her eyes widened and she cursed silently.

‘Shit. I forgot Xiulan’s coming home last weekend.’

Lu Xinyi scolded herself. It was obvious that she will never hear the end of it from Xiulan. If Shen Yi wasn’t distracting her last weekend, she wouldn’t have forgotten about meeting her cousin.

Forget about the sea witch and the bitch, she will deal with them later. It was still early and she really didn’t want to ruin her day by looking at their ugly faces. For now, she must pacify Xiulan’s anger or else she might do something stupid again.

Lu Xinyi quickly replied to her cousin telling her to meet her at the Fluffy Bites Cafe, where they usually hang out.

—

Lu Xinyi entered the cafe. She checked the message on her phone and looked for Lu Xiulan. She found her cousin only after she turned the corner.

“LU XINYI! Where the hell were you last weekend? You made me wait for too long and you’d never picked up my calls!” Lu Xiulan complained as Xinyi took the empty seat across her cousin’s.

“Sorry, Xiulan. I was really busy I totally forgot that I had to meet you.”

Lu Xinyi noticed her cousin’s glare and suddenly looked up. Lu Xiulan’s dress and serious face made Xinyi wonder why she didn’t inherit the same gene that made her cousin pretty. She always felt too simple, too boring and not able to find the right clothes on her body. It was one of the reasons why she preferred shirts and jeans.

“What could be the possible reason why you forgot about me?” Lu Xiulan asked, indifferently.

Lu Xinyi just came back from her vacation after her break with her boyfriend but she didn’t look like she was affected at all. Lu Xiulan thought Xinyi will come running to her, crying and cursing Gong Yijun. However, Xinyu looked like her normal self as if she’d never had her recent breakup.

“I told you, I was busy. I forgot about the time.”

“You? Busy? I highly doubt you were busy.” Lu Xiulan frowned.

While she and Xinyi didn’t grow up together, she knew her cousin like a back of her hand. Lu Xinyi likes to procrastinate but she wasn’t the one who could forget her appointments and meetings. Unless…

“Xinyi, do you really broke up with him?”

Lu Xinyi ordered a large cup of her favorite oreo milk tea before her gaze returned to Lu Xiulan.

“I broke up with him,” she said nonchalantly, “I walked in on him with Meng Jiao in an intimate act in our own bed.” Lu Xinyi explained.

“Ouch,” Lu Xiulan winced, Lu Xinyi nodded. “But you don’t look like you are heartbroken at all.”

Lu Xinyi shrugged and the waitress came and served her milk tea down their table.

“I realized it wasn’t that kind of love that I was waiting for. It was more like a love for convenience. We grew up together, we shared a lot of memories and we got along well. I thought I loved him but in reality, I was just used of him being around that I refuse to see what was really going on.” Lu Xinyi muttered.

“Urgh… that sucks.”

“We should have really ended it sooner. It only becomes a problem when you’re not really happy and you actually long for a deeper connection. Sadly, yes, maybe that was the real reason why our relationship failed.”

The actions of couples who are really in love with each other are drastically different from couples who are just together out of some form of convenience or need. It’s a day and night difference that you can see if you know how to look at it.
