“I’m rich, but I am not a jerk like him. He trifles with women’s affections.” Xiran Xiao swore some more
to vent her anger. After seeing Venus’s discouraged, Xiran lifted her chin and said, “How could you fall
in love with a playboy with your beauty, good family and good personality. He has a wife. If his wife
comes back, she might ruin your reputation.”
“I know.” Venus said. She dared not say much.
Xiran wanted to slap Venus to sober her, but she abandoned that idea after thinking for a while. After
all, it’s her choice.
“Well, be careful.” Xiran said.
“Xiran, you’re not gonna not to talk to me anymore, are you?” Venus asked worriedly. Venus thought as
Xiran maintains a stark sense of good and evil, she must turn her nose up at a mistress.
To Venus surprise, Xiran said, “You’re a good girl, but you are somewhat stubborn. Of course we are
still friends, but don’t let me see Kerry again, or I’ll scold him every time I see him.”
“Ah?” Venus said.
Xiran saw the familiar car and freed one hand to hug Yan. After saying goodbye, Xiran ran to the car.
Xiran threw all the bags into the back seat and then opened the door to sit in the passenger seat.
“How’s your dinner?” Tianye Mu asked softly.
Xiran fastened her seat belt and said somewhat angrily, “Not very good. I had an argument with Kerry.”
“What? You had an argument with Kerry?” Tianye said surprisedly, “Why he is here?”
“We were having dinner when he came. Yan has told him that’s the dinner for two women. What does
he mean by coming? Is he afraid that I will kidnap Yan?” Xiran was still angry and said.
“Is that why you argued?” Tianye asked.
“Of course not. I’m not that mean. I asked him when will he marry Yan and he said six months later.
Then I asked him will he divorce Venus, and he also said he would six months later. He also insinuated
that I am just a friend of Yan and I should behave myself.” Xiran said. Then she drank some water to
moisten her throat and continued, “Of course I know who I am, but he has no right to say that to me. I
said he shouldn’t have a foot in two camp and we started to argue.”
Tienye knows Xiran is forthright. He freed on hand to rub Xiran’s hair and comforted her, “All right, don’t
bother about that kind of people. I’ll make him pay the price.”
Xiran then gulped another mouthful of water. Then she had a sudden enlightenment and asked Tianye,
“Kerry’s answer to both question is six months later. Do you think six months later will be a critical
timeline? Does this have anything to do with Venus?”
What Xiran said reminded Tianye and his train of thought went together with Xiran’s. “It’s quite
possible. Venus is gone now. Even if he wants to divorce Venus, he has to wait two years. Otherwise,
he will commit bigamy by marrying another woman within two years. Although Kerry always plays fast
and loose with the law, he should not want to bear such a charge.”
“Then what does he mean by half a year? I hate people who beat around the bush the most.” Xiran
said. When Xiran is angry, she behaves like a little girl. She wanted to kick the car.
Tianye smiled gently. Xiran is always more calm than him and he thinks she is much livelier and lovely
when she is angry.
Xiran suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Tianye, asking, “Will you blame me for
asking Kerry such a question?”
“Why should I blame you? You are helping me and I want to thank you.” Tianye said. Tianye is a
sensible man and he doesn’t want Xiran to involve in such things. He is afraid that Xiran will get hurt,
but he should accept her kindness.
Xiran smiled and said, “That’s good. I’m afraid that you will blame me for putting my finger in another’s
pie. Let’s go and find another good restaurant for dinner.”
“Yes, her royal highness, what do you want to eat?” Tianye said.
“Well, I’d like to eat kebab. I haven’t eaten it for a long time. I really want to eat it, especially the roast
lamb chops, which is tender with a crispy crust. It makes my mouth water.” Xiran said.
Tianye had just finished his work and his stomach was growling from hunger. He wanted to eat meat
most. Looking around, Tianye remembered that there is a good barbecue restaurant nearby and he
turned the steering wheel to drive toward it.
After Xiran’s car went out of the sight of Venus, Venus didn’t want to go back to the restaurant. She
wanted to take a taxi and go home by herself, but her bag was still on the chair and she could only go
back to the private room with a clouded face.
After pushing the door open, she saw Kerry folded his arms over his chest with a clouded face.
Venus picked up her bag and walked out. Seeing that, Kerry stepped forward quickly to stand in front of
her.
“Get out of the way.” Venus tried hard to suppress her anger and said.
“Where are you going?” Kerry asked.
“It’s none of your business. I don’t want to see you now.” Venus said. Venus tried to push him away
from the door, but he is as heavy as a mountain and she couldn’t push him away at all.
After seeing her angry face, Kerry said more softly, “Well, it’s my fault. I shouldn’t have come
unannounced.”
“Of course it’s your fault.” Venus craned her neck and shouted at him, “Besides, Xiran is my friend, why
did you say that about her?”
“Just as you said, she is just a friend of you. What right does she have to ask so many questions?”
Kerry said.
“What? You don’t allow others to say what you did? She asked that because she cares about me. Have
you ever thought about my feelings when you asked her that? Who do you think she is? Do you think
she is the one who you can humiliate at will?” Venus said.
Kerry knew he was too impulsive and he forgot Xiran’s identity. How could Xiran submit to humiliation?
Compared with her vast assets, Kerry’s might just be half of the amount.
“It’s my fault. Don’t be angry with me.” Kerry pleaded Venus with tactful words.
But Venus din’t accept his apology and said, “Get out of the way.”
“No.” Kerry said. Kerry lingered at the door and didn’t want to get out of the way. Venus was so angry
that she stepped on his feet with her high heels. Venus pushed him away when he was wincing in pain
and walked out of the door.
But how could Kerry let her go home alone at night. He ran after her, regardless of pain.
“What are you waiting for? Stop her.” Kerry shouted at the two bodyguards.
When Kerry caught up with Venus, she was surrounded by the two bodyguards.
“Will you get into the car first? You can vent your anger on me in the car.” Kerry said in a low voice.
There were a lot of people looking at them.
Venus stood still and finally Kerry took her into the back seat forcibly.
“It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have come unannounced and said that to your friend. Will you stop being
angry?” Kerry apologized humbly.
Venus’s anger was kindled like the firecracker. “Kerry, I’m just having dinner with my friend. Do you
have to keep an eye on me? What are you worried about? There are two bodyguards with me.” Venus
said.
Kerry defended himself immediately, “I’m not keeping an eye on you. I really happen to be nearby…”
“But I didn’t ask you to come over.” Venus said angrily, “I have no friend in Sky City. It’s not easy for me
to make friends with her. I just want to have dinner with her. Why you came you disturb us?”
“I didn’t mean to disturb you, but what she said…” Kerry said.
“You just came to disturb us. I like Xiran very much, because she lives a free and wonderful life. I have
cheated her, and I don’t want her to misunderstand me more.” Venus said.
Kerry was both surprised and amused. He sighed and said, “Fuck, Xiran is a woman fortunately.”
