Chapter 204 - What-ifs (1/2)

Clad in a complete leather ensemble, Xu Mey put on her gloves and with many dilemmas decided to just take her bike. She promised Ye Jie that she won't ride the bike after her accident but right now, she felt the need to do so. She needed to be inconspicuous and the bike was her best suit.

But she couldn't just forget what Ye Jun told her. Even though she grew apart from Jun Li Na, that didn't change the fact that Xu Mey's very first companion was her.

She had plenty of ways to make Lu Ge regret even touching Jun Li Na. She applied one of the ways when she called the reporters and said, ”Remember I told you not to get the man's name out who was with Xu Liqing?”

”Yes, I am making sure to bury that part.” The reporter answered respectfully.

”Don't bother,” Xu Mey spoke. ”Now, I want you to trample all over that adulterous couple. Write whatever you want and even more so, hype it up as much as you can. Get his Lu Financial Company involved as well. But, don't you dare mention the name of his wife at any cost.”

At first, because of Jun Li Na's insistence, Xu Mey decided to hide the identity of the man with whom Xu Liqing was found but now, she didn't give a damn at all. Even after passing the instructions, she didn't feel at ease. There was an itch in her heart that she couldn't let go of and that itch forced her to put on her biker suit and made her way towards the garage.

She was about to mount on her bike when she heard a voice, ”Where are you going, sis?”

Xu Mey was startled for a second and turned to see Azalea with her inquiring eyes. ”Um... Well, I'm going out for a ride.” Xu Mey answered with an innocent smile.

Azalea gave an all-knowing look saying, ”Sis, do you think that I'm a kid who would believe whatever you say?”

”Can't you?” Xu Mey made a pitiful face.

”I can but what if bro-” Azalea didn't get to complete her worry since Xu Mey interrupted her.

”Little sister, one of my favorite characters once said, 'We can't waste time worrying about the what-ifs.(*)” For a moment, Azalea was speechless. She could find anything to argue with her.

Seeing Azalea keeping her mum, Xu Mey added, ”What-ifs can only hurt ourselves. And I know that if I asked myself that simple 'what if?' then I'll have a million reasons to back off right now. But it won't change the fact that I even have a million reasons to move ahead as well.”

Azalea pondered for a moment before a sweet smile bloomed on her small face. ”Then let me come with you.” She suggested.

”Oh, no! I can't.” Xu Mey shook her head. ”Ah-Jie will kill me if anything happened to you.”

Azalea frowned. ”Would you let anything happen to me?” She questioned.

”Of course not! But you never know.” Xu Mey argued.

Azalea paced up to Xu Mey's side and patted her shoulder saying, ”Sis, I trust you. Also, if anything does go wrong, bro can never even have the courage to even yell at you much less kill you. And, in case of getting caught, you'll need someone to say it with you.”

”Say what?” Xu Mey narrowed her eyes.
