Chapter 146: You're Done For Today!

  As soon as she saw Zhang Ziheng, Wang Xue hastily put down what was in her hand, wiped it clean and ran over, throwing herself into his arms, then kissed him on the face and said: "Husband, you're back? Did you miss me?"

  Zhang Ziheng stared blankly at her, smiled wryly and said: "Don't be like this, it's embarrassing."

  "Oh, sorry," Wang Xue said with a shy smile, and hurriedly ran back to pack her things.

  Zhang Ziheng composed himself, looked up and met Yu Jie's gaze. The two locked eyes, motionless, as if everything around them had come to a standstill. She had changed, becoming even more beautiful and captivating. This was Zhang Ziheng's reaction upon seeing Yu Jie again, and at the same time, he couldn't help but wonder how she had spent the past year or so in a foreign land, whether she had suffered any hardships.

  "Hey, old man, what are you staring at? Hurry up and come in." Wang Xue said, seeing that the situation was not right.

  Zhang Ziheng finally came back to his senses, lightly coughed, walked in and closed the door behind him. "Xue'er, what...what's going on here?"

  "How are you asking me? Isn't she your college classmate? You can't have forgotten, right?" Wang Xue asked with a smile.

  "No, I'm asking when she's coming? Why didn't you even give me a call to let me know?" Zhang Ziheng asked.

  "Oh, never mind her. It was I who said I'd wait for you. When I arrived, Xue Er happened to be cooking and she invited me to eat here while waiting for you." Bai Yu Jie smiled.

  Zhang Ziheng nodded, cleared his throat a few times, put down his briefcase and said: "Uh... you... when did you come back?"

  "It's been a few days, I've been quite busy lately, and I just had some free time today, so I thought I'd come see you."

  "Ah... you guys sit down and chat, don't just stand there. Yu Jie, come on, you and Zi Heng sit down and talk, I'll take care of the rest." Wang Xue said with a smile as she looked at their awkward expressions.

  "Oh, then I'll have to trouble you." Bai Yujie smiled and said.

  "Hehe, no trouble, you're a guest anyway, how can I let you help with cleaning up? Ziheng, hurry and invite them to sit down." Wang Xue said with a smile.

  "Ah? Oh, cough, that... sit down and talk." Zhang Ziheng smiled.

  Watching Wang Xue put away the plates and bowls and walk into the kitchen, Zhang Ziheng carefully said in a low voice: "How did you come? And why didn't you tell me before you came? You could have called."

  "What's wrong? Are you angry with me? I was afraid that if I called you, you wouldn't answer, and since we haven't seen each other for so long, I really did miss you a bit, so I came to see you in a hurry."

  Zhang Ziheng was slightly stunned, clearly feeling a bit embarrassed after hearing this, and hurriedly changed the subject, saying: "Uh... what did you and Xue'er talk about? How did you explain our relationship to her?"

  "Hehe, what do you think I should say? First love? Ex-girlfriend?" Bai Yujie smiled.

  "Oh dear, I'm not kidding, seriously."

  Bai Yujie smiled and shook her head, saying: "It's been a year since we last met, you're still so serious, but also as lovely as ever, hehe. Don't worry, I just told her that I'm your university classmate, nothing else was said. When chatting with her, I mentioned that this time back, there will be a concert, so I came to give a few tickets to several old classmates in B city."

  After she said that, Zhang Ziheng finally put his mind at ease. He was really afraid of her talking nonsense. You know, Wang Xue is not someone to be trifled with. If she were to notice something, it would be over.

  After confirming that nothing was wrong, Zhang Ziheng wasn't so worried anymore. Looking at the person in front of him who he would occasionally think of, Zhang Ziheng smiled slightly and said: "How have you been this year while abroad? Being alone overseas, isn't it very tiring?"

  "At first, there was indeed a bit of difficulty, but later on, I got used to it. However, all in all, this year has been quite smooth sailing. I had the opportunity to learn from a very famous pianist who taught me a lot and under her guidance, I have achieved what I am today." Bai Yujie smiled.

  "Really? Congratulations then." Zhang Ziheng was genuinely happy for her.

  At this time, in the kitchen, Wang Xue carefully poked out a little head, observing them while quietly making a phone call. "Mom, what should I do?"

  "Xue Er, don't rush or be impulsive. When something like this happens, you must remain calm, understand? But from what you just told me, Xue Er, you did a great job, it should be that way." Wang Xue's mom said with a smile on the other end of the phone.

  "Oh, mom, I'm not asking you to praise me, but to tell me what to do? They're chatting right now, and when I see them like this, my heart feels uncomfortable. Hurry up and tell me what to do next, I've been enduring for a long time." Wang Xue said anxiously.

  "Don't be in a hurry, Xue Er, listen to Mom. You must remember that before the girl leaves, you must maintain your current demeanor and let her know that you are elegant and polite. However, among them, you can be slightly more intimate with Zi Heng, so as to let her know how good your feelings are with him, and nothing can separate you two. But at the same time, you also have to show great magnanimity, this is what makes you noble, understand?"

  "What? This... is too difficult, right? And I'm Zi Heng's girlfriend, why do I have to go through so much trouble to do something I don't want to do?" Wang Xue said somewhat unhappily.

  "Xue Er, are you willing to lose Zi Heng? If you want to keep him, you must do as I say. Did you hear me?" King Xue's mother said seriously.

  Wang Xue pouted and said, "Fine, I'll endure for a while. After that woman leaves, just wait and see how I'll deal with him." Then Wang Xue hung up the phone.

  Zhang Ziheng and Bai Yujie chatted for a while, then Wang Xue came out of the kitchen with a plate of fruit. "Come on, have some fruit, I just bought it this afternoon, it's very fresh." Wang Xue put the fruit on the coffee table, then sat down beside Zhang Ziheng, her hands clasped around his arm, with a happy expression on her face.

  Bai Yujie smiled and nodded, saying: "Thank you. Zi Heng, looking at you two, it seems like you're having a very sweet time together, and you're even living together now. This is really different from when you were in college."

  "Huh? Ah... Hehe, yeah, it's true that it's a bit different." Zhang Ziheng said with an awkward smile. In front of Bai Yujie, being held by Wang Xue like this, he really felt a bit unaccustomed to it, and always felt that something was off.

  "Hey, we're all young people, and we love each other, getting married is just a matter of time. What's the big deal about living together now, right, husband?" Wang Xue said with a smile, waving her hand.

  "Huh? Is... is that so, haha, this apple is really sweet, you guys try some." Zhang Ziheng hastily picked up an apple and took a bite, laughing.

  Bai Yujie smiled and nodded, then said: "It's true that he is young, but as far as I know, with Zi Heng's personality, premarital cohabitation would still be a bit difficult for him to accept. Is that right, Zi Heng?"

  "That's not necessarily true, it still depends on who you're with. If you're with the right person, he'll be more than willing, won't he, Ziheng?" Wang Xue said with a smile as she looked at Bai Yujie.

  "Yes, that's right. People are different from one another. Ziheng is the kind of person who is especially easy to talk to. If someone were to plead with him, he would definitely agree to their request, for example, cohabitation." Bai Yujie smiled and said.

  The words have already been said to this extent, how could Wang Xue not understand? She is now very angry, extremely angry. She wanted to shout at Bai Yujie, but she knew she couldn't do that. Mom was right, one had to maintain a noble posture, otherwise she would look down on her.

  "But people can change, especially when it comes to emotions. Even if no one begged him desperately, just softly told him a sentence, he would still agree to that person's request, after all, that person is the one he loves." Wang Xueping calmed down and said with a smile.

  "Oh? It seems you really understand Ziheng, because he's indeed that kind of person. I remember when we were in college, he was always listening to his girlfriend's words, a good boy that all the girls envied. And this is also why I've been thinking about him for so long, haha." Bai Yujie said with a tender gaze at Zhang Ziheng, as if she was looking at her lover.

  It's been said so bluntly, if Wang Xue didn't get angry then she wouldn't be herself. Although the smile on her face was no longer as gentle, she still suppressed the anger in her heart. "Wait a minute, Miss Bai, I didn't quite understand what you just said, can you explain it more clearly?"

  As the atmosphere between the two girls became increasingly tense, Zhang Ziheng also started to worry. He was afraid that Wang Xue would do something, so he hurried out to mediate. "Hehe, what are you guys talking about? Weren't we just chatting nicely earlier? How did the topic suddenly become like this? Yujie, what's wrong with you, saying such things?"

  "I'm not talking nonsense, it's you who thinks I am. Although I've deceived you a few times before, but what I said today is true, and it's all after careful consideration." Bai Yujie still maintained her smile, speaking with a gentle tone.

  This time Wang Xue's eyes were not right, she turned her head, her eyes staring fiercely at Zhang Ziheng, and the hands holding his arm also started to pinch him, pinching Zhang Ziheng so hard that he was grinding his teeth and didn't dare to make a sound.

  After slightly punishing her, Wang Xue looked at Bai Yujie and said: "Miss Bai, I think you may have forgotten? I'm still here, and I'm now Zi Heng's girlfriend... You actually dared to flirt with him in front of me, aren't you being a bit too excessive?"

  "Haha, what's wrong? Xue'er, you seem to be angry. Really? Although we haven't known each other for long, I feel that you shouldn't be this kind of person. Maybe I came at the wrong time today, so I'll take my leave first and come visit again when I have a chance." After finishing speaking, Bai Yujie picked up her coat and handbag and stood up.

  "That... I'll send you off." Zhang Ziheng also hastily stood up and said.

  "No need, I'll do it." Wang Xue also stood up and said, but she still tightly grasped Zhang Ziheng's arm, showing no intention of letting go.

  Looking at them now, Bai Yujie shook her head and smiled: "No need to see me off, I know the way downstairs. Oh, right, Ziheng, I'll give you a call, bye." After that, Bai Yujie turned around and left Zhang Ziheng's home.

  As soon as Bai Yujie stepped out of the door, Wang Xue's face changed immediately. Zhang Ziheng quickly realized that something was wrong and, without saying a word, jumped onto the bed with a mixture of running and jumping, and smiled wryly: "Xue, Xuer... I, I, I..."

  "You don't need me anymore, you're done for today." Wang Xue shook her head and smiled.
