The Wife of Hades

Chapter 109 - Shen Liya



The girl walked towards the seats and stopped at the second row, looking towards An Luxia with a smile and pointing to the seat next to An Luxia, "May I sit here?"

An Luxia looked up, a little surprisedly, but she hid it very well. On the other hand, Yu Xinyi was very taken aback as she blinked a few times in surprise, but the new girl Shen Liya was not looking at Yu Xinyi.

An Luxia smiled back faintly, "Yes."

The girl's smile widened as she placed her bag onto the table and sat down, taking out her notebook to start listening to the professor as the class was starting.

For the rest of the class, the two of them did not talk to each other, although An Luxia did feel a little weird to have someone sitting next to her besides Yu Xinyi.

"Okay, I will see all of you next week. Remember to finish the homework." The professor stopped talking and started packing up his stuff, as the other students inside the class did the same.

All of the students started talking about where they were going to go next, some to other classes and others going home to eat lunch.

An Luxia was going home since the next class she had was in the afternoon. As she started packing up, she heard Shen Liya finally speak again.

"The professor was talking so I couldn't properly introduce myself! Hi, I am Shen Liya. You are. . ."

An Luxia turned to look at her and so did Yu Xinyi, "I'm An Luxia. Nice to meet you."

Shen Liya smiled sweetly, very fit for her overall appearance, which seemed sweet and cute, "I came from Country A so I am new here and don't know anyone. If it is okay with you. . . Do you want to be friends?"

An Luxia found her to be very cute, and the way she was cautious with her words made it impossible for An Luxia to say no. However, before she could respond, Yu Xinyi did first.

"Yes, yes! Nice to meet you, I'm Yu Xinyi!" Yu Xinyi said with a big smile, obviously falling into the trap of Shen Liya's cute expression.

Seeing Yu Xinyi, Shen Liya's smile widened as her eyes sparkled, "Really?! Thank you! Nice to meet you!"

The three of them walked out of the classroom together, and Shen Liya had one more class a few minutes later, so they had to go separate ways.

"I'll treat you guys to milk tea tomorrow!" Shen Liya said happily as she waved them goodbye, quickly running off so she wouldn't be late.

An Luxia stood with Yu Xinyi, who still had a smile on her face, "Liya seems nice, right?"

An Luxia nodded, also having a feeling that Shen Liya was a very nice and sweet girl. There was nothing wrong with making another friend, right?

After talking with Yu Xinyi for a bit, An Luxia returned home to eat lunch and prepare for her next class. It has been several weeks already since Mo Han had left, and he still hasn't called her even once yet. She also did not call him.

She knew that his occupation was quite special and his "business trips" weren't also like any other normal business trip. An Luxia did not want to disturb Mo Han's work, especially since it seemed quite serious when he left.

In all of the novels and dramas, An Luxia had learned that it was not a good idea to call the male lead when he was working or when he was gone! It usually always resulted in some accident, especially for someone like the King of the Underworld.

An Luxia smiled softly as she entered the car, thinking that she was a very smart and considerate wife! Of course, this was another excuse to keep her from worrying about where Mo Han was at the moment.

After returning home, An Luxia ate lunch alone, then went to school alone, then came home alone, and finally went to sleep alone.

The next day, An Luxia went to class and the first class went by quickly as she had to take a test. As she walked to her next class, she was surprised to see Shen Liya entering the same building.

She quickly called her, "Liya!"

Shen Liya turned around, equally surprised to see An Luxia, "Luxia, do you have a class in this building too?"

"Yes, I have a literature analysis class."

Shen Liya's eyes widened, "Are you in room 207?"

An Luxia was equally surprised as she nodded, "Are you taking that class too? We can go together." 

The two of them walked to class together and sat down next to each other, just in time for the class to start.

---

After class ended, Shen Liya asked An Luxia if she wanted to go get milk tea together. With not much work to do and nobody waiting for her at home, An Luxia agreed.

The two of them talked in the car as they went into town to a milk tea shop Shen Liya recommended. An Luxia felt better with Shen Liya, as it has been a while since she went out with someone.

They ordered the milk tea and sat down, continuing to talk about random things as they waited for the drinks. In the process, An Luxia found that the two of them had quite a lot in common.

"Number 371!"

Shen Liya looked down at the receipt and stood up, "It's ours. I'll go get it."

She quickly ran over to the worker and grabbed the two large cups of milk tea. They had ordered the same drink, which was the shop's classic.

As the two of them both took a sip, An Luxia's eyes widened as she chewed on the boba pearls inside, "This is so good!"

"I know right!" Shen Liya shook her cup before drinking, "It's my favorite shop."

An Luxia smiled as she put down her cup, looking towards Shen Liya, "Thank you for treating me to milk tea today. My parents run a cake shop. Next time, we can go eat cake together!"

Shen Liya smiled sweetly, "Okay, I'll be waiting!"

An Luxia lifted the cup up again for another sip and Shen Liya looked towards An Luxia's drink, which was going down quickly, before taking another sip herself.

---

After going home, An Luxia did her homework before continuing to write. She moved her laptop onto the balcony so she had a good view of the front gate.

Her story had risen to become number one on the whole platform, and it all seemed like a dream to her. What started off as just a novel to record her story with Mo Han had turned to become a hit in Country A!

Hundreds of thousands of people were reading it and waiting for uploads, and An Luxia has never imagined to ever be this successful in her hobby. 

She finished writing a chapter and looked up, realizing that the sky had turned dark already. Time seemed to pass very fast when he was gone. . . but also very slow.

She closed her laptop and entered the room again, closing the door as another pink pedal fell onto the ground.

She continued to wait, day after day, her excitement each day slowly draining when she saw the empty parking lot.

Finally, she decided to stop waiting

---

This day, An Luxia finished school on a Friday and entered the car, saying hello to the driver like every other day.

Most of the people she was familiar with, like K and the driver, had all gone with Mo Han, but the other workers were also very professional people.

As the driver started the car, An Luxia put on her seatbelt and said, "Let's not go home today. Go to the Gu Corporation."

The driver glanced at An Luxia through the back mirror and nodded. Without saying anything, he started the car and began driving to the Gu Corporation.

---

They arrived about half an hour later, and the driver parked the car in front of the building. An Luxia took only her phone and got out of the car, stepping into the sunlight.

Country A was already starting to warm up as hints of spring appeared. An Luxia shut the car door close and stepped into the cool building, walking over to the front desk.

The lady working at the front desk stood up, asking, "Hello, miss. Are you looking for someone?"

"Yes, your boss, Gu Yechen. Please tell him that An Luxia wants to see him."

The girl blinked a few times, curious at who this person may be, but she still grabbed the landline phone and dialed a number. After a while, she put down her phone and smiled politely, "This way, Miss An."

An Luxia followed the girl into the elevator and up to the top floor. As the elevator door opened, An Luxia couldn't help but be slightly surprised.

The top floor was gorgeous, with glass walls that looked out into the city from above. Towards the front, there was a staircase that led up to one room, which probably belonged to Gu Yechen.

Under the eyes of all the people on the top floor, An Luxia walked up the stairs and knocked on the door.

"Come in."
