Tang Xiu shifted his gaze from Mu Wanying and glanced around. What made him feel at a loss between laughter and tears was that there were many male and female students in the surroundings, even those who just came out of the examination building, that were somewhat out of sort upon seeing her.

“Why do you have to be this dazzling, belle?” muttered Tang Xiu with a wry smile as he walked forward while shaking his head.

Mu Wanying stood upright with her arms half opened and made a turn in place. Her skirt danced in the wind while her perfume permeated the air as she asked with heartfelt laughter, “Well, why the long face after seeing your girlfriend so dazzling, though?”

The beaming smile that Mu Wanying wore at the moment attracted Tang Xiu so much so that, despite having a firm mind and being familiar with her, he couldn’t help but feel assurgent astonishment. He collected himself quickly and grabbed Mu Wanying’s delicate wrist to pull her to the car’s door. He opened the door, closed it, and then came to sit in the passenger, saying, “Drive.”

“Gimme a reason,” said Mu Wanying smilingly.

Tang Xiu pointed out what she was referring to and hummed, “You see, the most beautiful side of my girlfriend can only be appreciated by me. No other men are allowed, else I won’t feel happy. Is that good enough of a reason?”

“Hehe…”

Mu Wanying sweetly smiled again, while even her bright eyes that reflected that beaming smile were sparkling as though they were drops of clear water. As she started the car, she smilingly asked, “So, where are we heading to?”

Tang Xiu gave it a thought and said, “I’ll treat you to a great meal since you’ve dressed up so gorgeously. That reminds me, though. There’s a stall that sells delicious barbecue in a nearby alley. Well, that is if you wanna have the sky as the roof and use the floor as a table to enjoy the steak well, though.”

“Pfft…”

Mu Wanying couldn’t help but laugh and she rolled her eyes with infinite charm in response at Tang Xiu’s suggestion. Then she smilingly said, “I’ll treat you today to celebrate the end of your freshman semester, though. Let’s have a great meal and head to the Arabesque Garden Mansion!”

“Well, looking at your sincerity and good looks, let’s go to this Arabesque Garden Mansion then!” said Tang Xiu with a smile.

“Hahaha…”

With the sweet laughter of the belle, the car gradually drove away.

And yet, countless mourning could be heard from those among the crowd. Even some boys sang the “Valentine’s Day Without a Lover” song to vent out their innermost feelings.

Arabesque Garden Mansion. It was a famous upscale dining venue in Shanghai, where all the guests who could enjoy the delicious delicacies here were among the haves. The place had been widely recognized as a venue that provided the most delicious meals, though it also came with the most expensive prices.

“Wanying, you seem to be familiar with this place, no?”

After following Mu Wanying into the interior of the Arabesque Garden Mansion, Tang Xiu found that she was rather familiar with the pathways that led into the hall with a plaque signed Emperor’s Hall, and he asked with a bit of a surprised expression.

“Yeah, been here twice before,” replied Mu Wanying with a chuckle.

“Words have it that dining here is quite expensive, the most expensive in Shanghai, though. Never thought you wanted to visit this venue, really,” commented Tang Xiu smilingly.

“Not really, I’ve been here twice but not to dine, though.” Mu Wanying shook her head and said, “My first time visiting this place was to find my Dad a couple of years ago. And the second time was when I came with my best friend, though she happened to bump into her boyfriend here who secretly met with another woman.”

“Hahaha…” Tang Xiu laughed and smilingly said, “I can tell your best friend kinda ended up feeling very bad, didn’t she?”

“Why do you say that, though?” asked Mu Wanying.

“Well, does this good friend of yours have a good temper?” asked Tang Xiu with a smile.

“Not at all, she’s exactly a bomb waiting to go off,” grinned Mu Wanying wryly. “Tang Xiu, do you know why I’m still willing and happy to be with you until now even if I’m not the only woman for you?”

“Ugh…” Only then did Tang Xiu feel regretful why he had to talk so much. But the words had been spat out by his long tongue regardless, so he could only brace forward and ask, “Why is that?”

With bitterness somewhat concealed in her eyes, Mu Wanying said, “My love for you comes first and it’s a feeling that can never be replaced with anything. After that comes the issues with society and environment issues. You also know that the status of women has been better after the reformation and the opening up of our country. But in fact, carved deep into people’s bones and inside their blood, there is still that inferiority feeling flowing inside women, whereas men still retain their superiority. Even I am no exception. It is said that “women account to occupy half of the sky” and the remark was indeed better than “men are the pillars of the household”. Deep down, however, many women still feel weak, and yet they want to have someone to rely on and thus became the crux of the problem.

“As a woman myself, I actually am fully aware of how much the environment will affect women. For example, Ouyang Lulu and the famous Kang Xia. The men in the circles we come into contact with cannot be fully imprisoned by the monogamy system. Those powerful men have more than one wife either in Hong Kong, Macao, or Taiwan. Like my Dad, he does indeed love and care a lot about my Mom, but the love for beauty is carved deep in his bones. That led him to have other women besides my Mom.

“The patriarch of the Ouyang Family that is Ouyang Lulu’s father likewise also has more than one woman, even though Ouyang Lulu’s mother is also a very powerful woman whose name I’ve long heard a long time ago. Yet, that didn’t stop Lulu’s father for being unable to keep his integrity pure either.”

Having said that, the bitterness was getting more evident on her face.

Tang Xiu took a deep breath and shook his head, “If a man does really love a woman, he can give up everything for her and he won’t fall in love with another woman.”
