52 Chapter 52 (1/2)
At Chen Yue's home, Su Le sat on a sofa as she ate an apple. She absentmindedly held the remote control.
”God Wei really treats you well. The way he acted when he attended Zhuang Wei's engagement party with you was so eye-catching.” Chen Yue sat next to Su Le. She had a black mask that was smeared on her face untidily. Su Le avoided her and shifted away.
”What kind of look is that?” Chen Yue rolled her eyes when she saw Su Le's expression, ”I'm talking to you. Are you listening?”
”I'm listening, I'm listening, God Wei and my entrance was very eye-catching. Anything else?” Su Le nodded. She stopped changing channels and carried on chewing the apple loudly.
”Are you really stupid or just pretending to be stupid?” Chen Yue poked Su Le's forehead, exasperated, ”He has already done all this, can you not be so heartless?”
Su Le fell back against the sofa after getting poked, ”Who said I'm heartless?” She paused for a second. It was like she had just remembered something unpleasant, but it was only for a short while as she soon returned back to normal.
Chen Yue did not notice that something was not right in that moment of silence. Instead, she carried on uttering to Su Le about how good men were difficult to find, and it was even harder to find one that was also rich and considerate.
During Chen Yue's long speech, Su Le's phone, that was on the coffee table, started to ring. Chen Yue consciously became quiet and she stood up to leave the room.
”Wei Chu, what's the matter?”
That was the last thing Chen Yue heard before she shut the door. Chen Yue smiled. Not all men were like Zhuang Wei; Su Le should give love another chance.

Half an hour later, Chen Yue came back to the room and saw Su Le hugging a cushion while watching TV. She couldn't help but tease her. ”It has only been half a day, is God Wei already missing you?”
”What nonsense are you talking about?” Su Le beamed but she did feel rather nervous when she remembered what Wei Chu had said about taking her to see his parents this week.
”Since you're smiling so much, did something good happen?” Chen Yue asked.
”He told me that I should go visit his family with him this weekend,” Su Le twisted the cushion in her hands. ”I feel strange.”
”You'll soon reach the stage of the wife meeting with the in-laws.” Chen Yue was moved. No wonder he was God Wei; he did things so quickly.
Su Le rolled her eyes. Then, she went to the kitchen and scooped a bowl of soup that she had already simmered for some time, ”Come, my young mistress, I simmered some duck soup for you.”
”Thank you, my love,” Chen Yue used a cloth to lift up the lid. A lovely fragrance overwhelmed her senses. She scooped some out to try. The soup tasted wonderful.
”Remember to rest when you're working,” Su Le released a breath when she saw that Chen Yue was drinking the soup happily. She glanced at the time, ”I should leave now. I still have work tomorrow.”
”Okay. I'll give you a lift back home,” Chen Yue agreed and put down the ladle to get her car keys.
”There's no need. You have just recovered from your illness, I shouldn't bother you,” Su Le stopped her. ”Wei Chu also happens to be nearby discussing business. I'll get him to pick me up on the way.”
With God Wei's attentiveness, even if they were in opposite directions, he would still say that it was on the way. Chen Yue did not speak anymore and watched Su Le leave. With a bang, the door was closed shut. She walked to the windows and pulled the curtains apart. In less than 2 minutes, she saw Su Le walking out the building, and a black Mercedes Benz stopped in front of her.
The man in the car got out and opened the car door for Su Le before getting back on. Soon, the car drove out of the small neighborhood.
As the car drove further and further away, Chen Yue smiled. Then, she went back to the sofa to sit down and carried on drinking the bowl of duck soup.
