79 Ephemeral Flower Vase (1/2)

Hui Yin and Lu Shen walked into the room hand in hand, with Hui Yin even plastering her body against him to the point of becoming an iguana.

Lu Shen felt his mouth twitch. This girl was indeed an actress...

”Miss Nian!” Hui Yin feigned a look of delighted surprise.

In her head, she scrutinized her ruthlessly. Did she get fat? Ha! That's what you get for being a venomous snake, swallowing whatever prey you have without chewing.

In her past life, Hui Yin was almost a saint. Her whole life could be played with a guzheng, and people worldwide would shed tears, lamenting her terrible fate. They would be laden with grief upon knowing that a cute cinnamon roll like her had passed away.

In this new life, however, Hui Yin was prepared that the one who would ascend to heaven would not be her.

”Yinyin.”

Nian Zhen's smile froze as she saw their clasped hands. Her shock turned into pain as she glanced up at Lu Shen. ”Brother Shen.”

Hui Yin did not feel any pity for her. It was not even a tenth of the pain she suffered from her hands.

”Miss Nian, what are you doing here?” she asked, as she led Lu Shen to occupy the sofa opposite of Nian Zhen. ”I heard from the phone earlier that you thought—” Hui Yin wanted to say hubby, but the word got stuck in her throat—”Lu Shen was sick?”

Nian Zhen was not to be underestimated either. She easily got her emotions under control and wore a mask of concern.

”Yes, because Brother Shen never takes a day off. Yinyin, you visited Brother Shen too?”

”'Visited'?” Hui Yin laughed. She leaned her head on Lu Shen's shoulder. ”Miss Nian, he didn't tell you? He's so naughty. He missed me, so he forced me to live here.”

Technically, it was true.
