I Want To Move In Next Door

After Qin Shujian finished speaking, he seemed to realize his abruptness and opened his mouth again: "Sorry, it seems I've disturbed you all."

Someone responded: "It's okay."

Then someone else said: "So you're Qin Shujian. Can I get a photo with you, and an autograph?"

The box suddenly became noisy again, with most attention centered on Qin Shujian.

As if nothing had happened, Xia Wan'an closed her eyes again, but this time she didn't fall asleep like before.

Soon, a rich scent of perfume wafted from Xia Wan'an's side. She wrinkled her nose, glanced sideways, and noticed that Qin Shujian was sitting next to her, talking to Han Jingnian.

But as soon as she glanced over, Song Youman pinched her waist: "Wan'an, weren't you supposed to accompany me to the ladies' room? Let's go..."

Before she could react, Song Youman stood up, grabbed her arm, and dragged her out of the room.

After walking a distance, Xia Wan'an realized that Song Youman was not leading her to the washroom: "Aren't we going to the bathroom?"

"To the bathroom! Do you really not understand my intention, or are you pretending not to?" Song Youman glared at Xia Wan'an, frustrated.

Xia Wan'an gave a foolish grin.

Of course, she knew that Youman was just making an excuse to get her out of that awkward situation. However...

Pondering, Xia Wan'an asked Song Youman who was dragging her into the elevator: "Where are you taking me?"

"To have supper!" Song Youman said, pressing the button for the underground parking.

"Supper?"

"What? You don't want to eat? Then...SPA?"

SPA, sleep... Xia Wan'an nodded: "Okay."

They went to their regular SPA salon. After a nice soak and a massage from skilled therapists, they gradually relaxed.

Xia Wan'an fell asleep after a while. However, Song Youman couldn't sleep. She kept calling Xia Wan'an's name, but seeing her sleeping soundly, she lost her patience, woke Xia Wan'an by patting her, and then said angrily: "Xia Wan'an, with things being like this, can you really still sleep?"

Xia Wan'an rubbed her eyes, sleepily muttering: "What happened?"

"What do you think?!"

Xia Wan'an fell silent.

Frustrated by her indifference, Song Youman spoke again: "Don't tell me that when you saw that woman today, you didn't feel anything?"

That woman... Xia Wan'an knew that Song Youman was referring to Qin Shujian... She didn't speak, but her eyes opened.

"I'm asking you, how long has it been since you last saw him? Does he know he has a home, a wife? Don't you ever think about your future, Wan'an? You can't possibly expect to live this way with him for the rest of your life? Okay, let's say this is what you want, but what about him? What if he meets someone he likes and wants to divorce you, what will you do?" Song Youman said quite a lot, when she saw Xia Wan'an didn't respond, she spoke again: "Wan'an? Wan'an? Xia Wan'an, are you listening to me?"

"I'm listening..." Xia Wan'an moved her lips.

"Then, what's your take on what I've just said?"

"Hmm..." Xia Wan'an pondered for a moment, "I was thinking, you should keep tonight's incident to yourself. Don't tell my parents or your parents about it, or else they'll be worried."
