Chapter 295 - You are the Most Important Thing in My Life (1/2)

“Is she your romantic rival?” Song Meng interrogated Yun Xiangxiang once the latter got back.

“What is a romantic rival?” Yun Xiangxiang went to the bathroom to remove her makeup. She pretended not to know what Song Meng was talking about.

“The girls who love the same guy are romantic rivals.”

They came back earlier than Yun Xiangxiang did and spent a lot of time a.n.a.lyzing the event, concluding that Faye was Yun Xiangxiang’s romantic rival. Well, Song Meng did most of the talking. Li Xiangling only interjected occasionally.

Yun Xiangxiang swabbed her eyeliner after removing her mascara. She looked at Song Meng’s reflection in her mirror. “Romantic rivals are people at odds while pursuing the same romantic interest.”

Song Meng nodded. “That’s right. So?” She was puzzled.

Yun Xiangxiang removed the remaining makeup with the cotton pads. “She is pursuing Song Mian. But I don’t need to.”

They were not on the same level. Faye didn’t have the right to call Yun Xiangxiang her romantic rival. Yun Xiangxiang was already the girlfriend.

Song Meng gave Yun Xiangxiang a thumbs up and left the bathroom quietly. She got the answer she wanted from Yun Xiangxiang.

Yun Xiangxiang sat on the bed and video called Song Mian after she was done was.h.i.+ng up, ignoring Song Meng and Li Xiangling’s glares.

They talked about their daily lives. Yun Xiangxiang acted as if nothing had happened.

Song Mian couldn’t keep it down anymore. “Don’t you have anything you need to ask me?”

“What do you think I should ask?” Yun Xiangxiang smiled, but it did not extend to her eyes.

Song Mian cleared his throat. He fidgeted. “I know you went to Faye Cardicra’s birthday today.”

Song Qian was worried about Yun Xiangxiang. She notified Song Mian, in case any unexpected event were to happen.

“So?” Yun Xiangxiang gazed cryptically at Song Mian.

“She used to ask me out. I don’t know how she knew about you and me. I’m worried she might attack you because of me,” Song Mian spilled it out.

Yun Xiangxiang laughed softly. “She likes you. Are you leading her on, or did you not reject her yet?”

“I didn’t,” Song Mian denied.

Yun Xiangxiang held down her laughter. “You didn’t reject her?” She teased.

“I rejected her, and I didn’t lead her on,” Song Mian added. He had to clarify.

Yun Xiangxiang put her chin on the back of her hand. “I want to know how confessed to you and you rejected her?” She was curious.

The usually calm and elegant Song Mian started to panic. “Must you know about it?”

Yun Xiangxiang took a sip of her water. “Of course I do. If I don’t, how would I know whether you made a clear rejection?” She nodded in earnest.

“The rejection was crystal clear,” Song Mian didn’t want to explain.

“That’s not up to you. It’s up to me.” Yun Xiangxiang wasn’t letting this go. The more Song Mian evaded, the more Yun Xiangxiang’s curiosity was piqued.

“It happened six years ago…”

Six years ago, Song Mian was about to finish his studies. He started busying himself in the businesses he had to take over. It was Qi Jun’s birthday. With his increasing workload, they might not have the chance to celebrate together anymore. Song Mian took some time out to celebrate it for what may be the last time. Faye knew Song Mian through Qi Jun.

She fell in love with Song Mian at first sight. From that day onward, she did everything she could to grab Song Mian’s attention, but she didn’t have many chances to meet Song Mian.

Faye finally saw the opportunity at Qi Jun’s birthday party. She would not let it escape.
