【Ah! This old pervert, don’t tell me she fell in love with Yan Ruxue??】
【First she starts out with a “Neither of us will want her” and then her next sentence should probably be, “should we get together instead?”】
【Just an hour ago she was staring at Secretary Zhou so much that she couldn’t walk. Ha! I bet that now she sees someone as beautiful as Yan Ruxue, her legs have probably gotten so weak she can’t even stand up!】
Although her back was facing the door, Shu Yian heard every insult and knew that Su Wen was probably coming up behind her. She didn’t bother with that idiot for now and simply looked eagerly at Yan Ruxue and waited for her reply.
As long as Yan Ruxue agrees to her words, she will slap the table and then get up and say to Su Wen, “Let’s break up, I don’t like you anymore!”. At the very least, she can finally let out the anger she was still holding in her heart towards Su Wen.
However, the imagination is beautiful, but the reality is often lacking.
Yan Ruxue was sitting in a position where she could see Su Wen. She couldn’t wait for Su Wen to see this woman’s true colors so why would she agree to Shu Yian’s proposal?
“From what I know, it was Miss Shu who initially proposed marriage to my jie-jie. Now that my jie-jie has fallen in love with you as you wished, why are you so willing to break up with her?
“Is it because Miss Shu is being two-faced and is trying to deceive me? Or did you previously have some other motive and now that you’ve got what you wanted, you don’t need my jie-jie anymore?”
Shu Yian: “Stop playing these tricks one me, return to the topic at hand, do you or do you not agree?”
There is only so much time in the day to waste, hurry, hurry, she can’t wait to slap Su Wen in the face!
Yan Ruxue was dumbfounded.
【What is the woman trying to do? I can’t worm out any information from her.】
【Moreover, why does she appear so impatient?】
【Oh….】She suddenly thought of something and realized, 【According to this woman’s usual despicable behavior, she should be secretly recording this conversation. She wants to trick me into saying that I’ll give up on my jie-jie and then she’ll have my jie-jie listen to it.】
【However, no matter how much she has calculated, I bet she never calculated that my jie-jie has already heard everything!】
Thinking like this, Yan Ruxue felt proud of herself. Now, there was no need to keep everyone in the dark, if there is anything you want to say, it would be better to say it directly here in front of all three people.
“Miss Shu, why don’t you take a look behind you?”
Shu Yian knew who Yan Ruxue wanted her to see, but she didn’t turn her head.
She won’t look, if she looks at Su Wen’s face, her eyes will burn off.
Su Wen stepped forward quickly and arrived at Shu Yian’s side. She then said lightly, “It’s time to go back to work!”
After saying so, she nodded to Yan Ruxue again, “Your sister-in-law and I will leave first.”
Yan Ruxue: “….”
【What’s going on?】
【Didn’t my jie-jie hear what Shu Yian said just now?】
【Did she only hear the part where I was menacing towards Shu Yian?】
Su Wen’s tone and behavior towards Shu Yian was the same as before. If she had heard Shu Yian’s words, based on Su Wen’s character, she would definitely not be talking to Shu Yian like this. Thus, Yan Ruxue could only think of this reason.
【Is my jie-jie too tired from work recently and her ears have gone bad?】
However, she would never have thought that the two people in front of her were acting in the first place. So even if Su Wen had heard it, even if she was annoyed, Su Wen would never show it in front of Yan Ruxue.
She and Shu Yian were purposefully acting like the luan and phoenix*, a pair of die-hard lovers stuck together like glue, so that Yan Ruxue would give up on Su Wen. (T/N: Luan is also a mythological type of bird and with the phoenix, Luan and Phoenix means husband and wife. A couple.)
Shu Yian knew what she was thinking, but didn’t have any plans of exposing her. However….
She sat up straight but refused to stand up as she looked at Su Wen with bright eyes and said, “My legs have gone soft!”
Yan Ruxue: 【This woman really has no shame!】
Su Wen:【Does her legs really go soft at every good-looking woman she sees?】
Although they were insulting her painstaking efforts, Shu Yian continued: “I want you to carry me!”
Su Wen breathed deeply, trying to endure the disgust in her heart as she smiled on the surface, “Alright, I’ll carry you!
【You dog woman! First you wanted to throw me away like trash, and I still haven’t gotten my revenge for that yet, and now you are looking down your nose at me and telling me to carry you?】
【I’ll carry you out to the middle of the road and then dump you there!】
While the two of them were “showing off their affection” without paying attention to their surroundings, many of the bystanders watching them began taking out their phones and filming them because of how beautiful the pair looked. As they filmed, they also sighed and said enviously, “What kind of beautiful love is this?”
Indeed, such a “beautiful” love.
In Su Wen’s opinion, if you shorten the words “beautifully killing the beauty” to only “beautiful” then yes, it was a “beautiful” love. (T/N: this sentence was supposed to be a pun on words, idk how to explain it without going into a long-winded explanation so here was my best translation of it)
As Yan Ruxue watched the two leave, one of them being carried on the back of the other, the anger in her heart was unimaginable. If she didn’t have an image to maintain, she would’ve flipped the table already!
Shu Yian, you vile woman, the grudge between you and I is not over!
Meanwhile, Shu Yian, who was lying on Su Wen’s back, “Achoo~”
“I say, the one surnamed Su, how should I put this? You’re little sweetheart must be cursing me right now.” (T/N: Chinese superstition says that when you sneeze it means someone is talking bad about you)
Su Wen frowned. They were now out of Yan Ruxue’s sight, but there were still many people wandering down the streets and looking at them, which made her feel uncomfortable.
“You get off first!”
“I won’t!” Shu Yian was also feeling embarrassed and buried her face into Su Wen’s back, “It’s not like anyone knows who I am anyways!”
【Is this woman even speaking human words anymore ?】
【So her face is a face worth saving but mine isn’t so she’s willing to throw away my face?】
“Get off!” Su Wen repeated, “If you do, I won’t settle my accounts with you for your earlier remark about throwing me away!”
Shu Yian hugged her neck tightly, “That’s it? What about what happened during lunch? I’m still hungry because I didn’t get to eat enough!”
Su Wen couldn’t bear the nosy looks of the people passing by and awkwardly covered her face with a hand, “When Secretary Zhou takes you shopping for clothes later, you can eat whatever you like then.”
Then she remembered how stingy Shu Yian is and added angrily, “And it’s my treat!”
Shu Yian did not move her hands from around the other’s neck, “How will my salary be calculated for today? Full day or half day?”
【This woman, does she only have money in her eyes?】
“Full day!” Su Wen said unhappily.
“I want to be paid today*!” Shu Yian rested her chin on the other’s shoulder. She found Su Wen’s shy maiden expression quite interesting. If she didn’t have both hands tightly wrapped around Su Wen’s neck, in fear of being thrown off by Su Wen, she would have taken out her phone to take a few photos. (T/N: technically the term is “day wage” which means a wage paid per day instead of weekly, biweekly, annually, etc. Essentially paying the labor on the day of instead of waiting a long-ass time for it).
Then she can use those photos later to blackmail her more in the future. Maybe she’ll get some more benefits that way.
However, a person can’t be too greedy. Shu Yian was afraid she’ll be thrown off before she can even take a photo and then, not only will she fail to take the photo, she’ll also lose her initial bargaining chip!
She has been thinking about her payday settlement for a long time. After all, she didn’t know when the heroine would appear. If the heroine was to appear before she could get paid, wouldn’t all her efforts be for nothing?
However, since the company had their own rules about payday settlements and since her relationship between her and Su Wen is so frigid, Shu Yian never found the chance to speak up before.
But now, such an opportunity has arrived, so of course she’ll bring this matter up.
Su Wen rolled her eyes. She knew that Shu Yian loved money, but she never thought that she would love money this much, it really ‘opened up her three views’*. (T/N: a saying that basically means “opened up their eyes” and made them aware of a truth.)
However, she is not someone who will be led around by the nose like this and so she also named her own conditions.
“Alright but you have to promise me one thing.”
“What thing?” Shu Yian asked suspiciously.
Su Wen grit her teeth in a displeased manner, “Look at other women less, and don’t fool around with other people.”
“Fine, I promise you.”
“Hmph!” Su Wen snorted.
【Then I promise you too. 】
Author’s notes:
Su Wen: What kind of evil cult is this? Is our “beautiful” love not fragrant* enough? (T/N: fragrant here means “hypocritical” and it’s actually part of the novel’s title which I obviously decided to use the english term instead of the direct translation.)
