267 Wives And Mistresses

Her hold tightened on the wine glass, clutching it tightly as if it was her hook to familiarity and comfort. She had no idea and she was shocked to a stone. It was no surprise he moved on after weeks of confessing to her.

And sure any girl would wobble down on her feet to stumble on him!

Her brows frowned, she felt the wobble in her lips, "I…I don't even know if…I like him like that…" Her voice was a little whisper like she was making a statement even to herself.

The fact was she knew, as a matter of fact, her liking him or not hardly made a difference. Li Yuan had told her Yu Youhan kept mistresses and they were definitely every drop of gorgeousness in the form. 

Su Qing snorted and her eyes connected to Lei Xinyi and a sick smirk rose on her lips. Lei Xinyi raised a brow in warning to not push it too far but Su Qing was in the form now and she wanted to play with the little prey swinging for her life in her paws.

She looked at Lu Xinyi in the eye and her lips formed a sympatric smile, "Well, it's good that you don't have lingering feelings for him then. I heard his parent are entertaining nuptial proposals for him." Her tone was nonchalant but her message clear.

Lu Xinyi's face turned pale and she felt the truth was slapped on her face, "What?! When?!" The shock of the words piled on her like a sack of bricks. Yu Youhan was…getting married! Her Yu Youhan was going to be somebody else?!

But there was nothing she could do...

She would never compare, to his mistresses or to his new contenders for a potential wife. It was enough to make her fall back on even the thought of trying to approach him but she didn't think it was appropriate to tell that to the women in front of her and slander Yu Youhan's reputation.

Su Qing smirk widened but she kept her informer suit on, acting like she didn't see the astonishment on Lu Xinyi's face, "For a while now, that may be the reason he asked you because he may think of you as a prospect friend who could in time make a good a wife and maybe in time he could love but you don't need to force feelings."

Lu Xinyi heard her heart crumble in her ears. She was certain that it never crossed her mind because she was looking for security and no man had ever been a romantic pillar in her life so friend-zoning came naturally to her. It seemed only right!

But if she could ever see a man being so close to her in that manner it had to be him! Nothing else would make her feel secure enough…

But…maybe she could have grown to love him too and even if they couldn't be the typical spouse. At least he would have been her friend forever and now… she ruined everything!

He was going to get married in some days! Some other confident, beautiful woman will have all his attention. She will be the one he will take to all of their spots! He would even allow her to redecorate her studio to make a room for her cats!

Those filthy cats with their filthy paws will scratch the wallpaper she selected! They will ruin her studio! 

The thought of his future with some tall, beautiful, and intelligent wife was suffocating like chlorine infested air.

Her heart shook and she was a second away from tearing, "I didn't know…" she whispered and her voice cracked.

Su Qing and Lei Xinyi both shared their infamous conning smirks. And Su Qing knew Lei Xinyi was in the game.

Su Qing tsked as if she was really sorry and gave her a sweet smile, "If you don't feel anything for him you don't need to try. After all the heart wants what it wants."

She took out her phone and searched him on the browser and clicked a photo of him and faked a moan. Lei Xinyi scoffed lightly at her universal move that she is too fond of that Lei Xinyi wanted to scratch her eyes out.

Su Qing showed the photo to them then licked her and ogled the photo. Lu Xinyi's face turned red and her eyes started to glare at the woman in front of her. Su Qing lifted her hand and fanned herself as if the man was making her hot and bothered.

She licked her lip provocatively and sighed dreamily, "The b*tch who is selected would be lucky, just look at him! Damn! The man is sizzling, crispy hot! I could eat him for breakfast supper and dinner." She took a pause, "…for lunch, I would like some real food."

Lei Xinyi sipped her drink to hide her over-growing smirk. Su Qing really knew how to overdo it like a slut if the reddening and fuming face of the little girl was a sign. Who can blame her, she wasn't a high-class Actress for nothing.

Lu Xinyi was at the end of her rope and snatched the phone from Su Qing then glared at her with teary eyes. She looked about ready to burst out crying. "Damn burritos and holy muffins! You can't talk like that about him and…and you can't do this!"

Su Qing raised a brow at her in a challenge and put her b*tch face on, "Why can't I? He is single so am I. You don't want him so I am going to go for him. And by the who are you to administer what can be said about him?"

Lu Xinyi felt like bursting into tears and beg her to leave him alone. The girl was everything she wasn't. There was no way she could compete with a woman of her standard.

She was a woman most of all, a woman who knew what she was doing, she was confident and not to mention she was a walking beauty, an enigma off and on camera!

Lu Xinyi pouted and raised an accusatory finger at her, "You have a boyfriend and you can't…you can't go for him! He won't like you!"

She was talking about Yu Jian but Su Qing was in full acting mode and all her devotion was for the man in the photo. Lei Xinyi leaned back in her chair and enjoyed the show.

Su Qing scowled, her eyes reflecting the hurt Lu Xinyi brought. She inched closer to her seat and countered, "Oh, I am very much single, he isn't my boyfriend! And why wouldn't he like me? I am beautiful, intelligent and a socialite who has an accomplished career." 

Then her lips parted as if realization dawned upon her and her eyes shone with anger, "You have no reason to say that unless…unless you like him."

Lu Xinyi's face deformed in anger at being called out and she shouted back, "Of course, I like him! He is my best friend!"

An easy smile stretched on Su Qing's face and her demeanor changed. She leaned back and shrugged, "Sweety, You are getting defensive which means you like him as a man…and Oh! Look now you are blushing. I can bet on my life you have wet dreams on him."

Lei Xinyi was about a second away from bursting out laughing. Su Qing sure was on fire. She got the girl all riled up in seconds. Poor Girl!

The change in Su Qing mood and attitude confused her before her words register in her head and her face reddened further and in an instant, she put up her defenses, "No! I don…"

Su Qing pointed her finger at her and chuckled, "Your blush deepened and you are getting defensive again. If you said it with a straight face I would have believed you."

Lu Xinyi pouted and opened her mouth to say anything then closed it. Her thoughts were conflicted. 

She knew she didn't have him as a lover but she missed him like a lover. He wasn't her fiancé but she felt more engaged to him than her real fiancé.

And maybe in the sheltered piece of her heart, she did have feelings for him but she didn't want to admit to them. But she knew for sure if she could ever imagine someone to spend her whole life with it was him but...

But the realization came as even a surprise to her own self. She didn't know what she wanted but she sure didn't want to be seen as desperate after being replaced in a period of weeks by a man she thought was a constant in her life.

She turned her lips up, trying to smile but her lips wobbled and a tear slid down her cheek which she abruptly wiped, chuckled, and shrugged. 

She sat in the silence for a while, mourning for her lost future staring at her hands laying on her lap. The other two women were observing her with bored eyes. Su Qing gave lei Xinyi a 'What the f*ck! Did she just hang?!' look.

Lei Xinyi scoffed and clicked her finger bringing Lu Xinyi's attention to her.

She hunched her shoulder and fiddled wither hands in her lap, her lips wobbling. Her voice barely a whisper in her confession, "I told him no, he doesn't want to see my face since then. I tried to contact him... He hates me now there can't be anything done now and he... he has many others in life."
