After Grampy returned, Wen Xinya’s learning schedules were even more packed than before. She was now learning at a professional and practical level, as compared to the basic entry level she started with some time ago.

After dinner, she was reading a book titled “Essays from the Pool of Dreams.” There were 17 main categories in the pool of dreams, including geographic, history, chess and music, business, personal development, and more. This was one of her favorite books.

Her phone started ringing. Wen Xinya took a look and saw that it was a call from Xu Zhenyu. She answered without hesitation. “Hello, Second Young Master Xu. Are you looking for me?”

There was total silence on the other end of the line. Wen Xinya’s heart sank. She was worried if something had happened. “Second Young Master Xu, please say something!”

“Wen Xinya, today…” Xu Zhenyu stammered.

Wen Xinya heaved a sigh of relief after hearing his voice. “What’s that about? If you have something to tell me, say it! Don’t stammer like a little young lady,” she said furiously.

Xu Zhenyu was initially hesitant to make this call. When he heard Wen Xinya calling him names, he was suddenly filled with courage. “Who is behaving like a little young lady? I am a real man! A real man!”

Wen Xinya was tickled by his tone of voice as he tried to act manly. “You are too short to be a real man. Any real man who is as small-sized as you wouldn’t want to call himself a real man.”

Xu Zhenyu could not stand being ridiculed by her. He unconsciously looked downwards at his chest that had no muscles. “Though I don’t have six-pack abdominal muscles, I have something in between my legs which you don’t. That makes me a real man.”

Wen Xinya shouted into the phone angrily, “Xu Zhenyu, you bastard! Stop trying to be a gangster!”

Xu Zhenyu was shocked by her screaming. There was a du, du, du tone from the phone. She had hung up on him. He suddenly realized he did not have the chance to tell her about the reason he was calling, and immediately dialed her again.

After a few rings, the line was cut off again. He did not give up. Even after a long ring, still, no one answered the call. He continued trying…

After five consecutive tries, his call was finally answered. Wen Xinya told him angrily, “Xu-er, you better be calling me for something important.”

“What… what are you doing?” Xu Zhenyu asked in a stammering voice.

Wen Xinya got furious again at his question. “Xu-er, do you think everyone is as free as you? Why don’t you spend more time studying instead of only caring about having fun all day? Whenever you get into trouble, your family will stand up for you. Or when you run out of pocket-money, all you need to do is to ask them for more. I am not as free as you and I do not have time to play with you.” Obviously, Xu Zhenyu got distracted again from his intention of the call by her shouting.

“I wanted to tell you, today’s my birthday. I have booked a VIP room in the Ninth-Heaven with my friends for a gathering. Since you are not free, then forget about it.” Xu Zhenyu hung up.

He was enraged by Wen Xinya’s words. He got so angry that he slammed the phone on the ground and punched hard into the wall of the washroom. He thought he must be mad to be calling Wen Xinya.

In her eyes, he was a wastrel from a wealthy family. He only cared about having fun and would not do anything seriously.

“Xu-er, you have been inside the washroom for almost half an hour. Are you alright? Everyone is waiting for the birthday boy.” As Han Mofeng opened the door of the washroom he saw Second Young Master Xu leaning against the wall. He wondered what he was thinking about.
