CHAPTER 70: CHAPTER 70 JIU CITY JOURNEY 2_1

Zhou Xiaoxuan’s gaze suddenly fell on Yan Xixi’s face. She initially thought it was just another of Wan Donglin’s ever-changing bevy of beauties. However, once she got a clear look at the woman’s face, her smile immediately vanished. She opened her eyes wide in shock, stuttering, "Yan Xixi... Yan Xixi... why is it you?"

Yan Xixi put down the rabbit leg she was eating, wiped her mouth, and nodded casually.

Zhou Xiaoxuan couldn’t believe it. She opened her mouth several times, wanting to say something, but found herself speechless.

Yan Xixi was actually with Wan Donglin! And they were eating on this food street on the first day of the Lunar New Year. It was simply unbelievable.

She looked Yan Xixi up and down, staring at her intently, as if trying to uncover a secret from her face. What methods did this woman use to achieve this? Suddenly, anger bubbled up within her. What right does she have? This isn’t just any man; this is Wan Donglin!

However, she quickly noticed something: Yan Xixi wasn’t dressed in luxury brands—not even high-quality knockoffs. She was casually wearing a thick down jacket and thigh-high boots, looking exceedingly simple and modest.

Her husband, being tactful, noticed Wan Donglin didn’t look too pleased and quickly pulled her away. "Let’s go. Let’s not bother Wan Donglin. Wan Donglin, you two enjoy your meal..."

He even politely nodded to Yan Xixi as they left.

Even after walking quite a distance, Zhou Xiaoxuan still kept turning back to look.

"Little Xuanyuan, what are you looking at?"

"My God, dear, that’s Yan Xixi! Didn’t you recognize her?"

"Who’s Yan Xixi?"

"She was my classmate from high school through university. She also attended our wedding..."

"There were too many people that day. I didn’t notice her. What’s so surprising about that?"

"Isn’t it surprising? She’s with Wan Donglin."

"Isn’t that a good thing? She’s your university classmate. With this connection, we’ll have more opportunities to interact with Wan Donglin. You know how difficult it normally is to even see him..."

Zhou Xiaoxuan, however, didn’t share her husband’s happiness.

"When did she manage to latch onto Wan Donglin? Logically speaking, she shouldn’t have had any chance to even meet him. Could our wedding have been the opportunity? I always said that two-faced schemer would worm her way into anything!"

"Why are you calling her that?"

"You don’t know. That woman is a master actress. She appears so innocent and pitiful, but she actually used to be a professional at scamming men in places like tea houses and bars."

"Ah? Is she really that kind of person? Should we warn Wan Donglin?"

"Forget it. Let’s just wait and see."

"Alright. Wan Donglin changes girlfriends faster than clothes. He won’t be with her long."

"But he’s spending the New Year with her! It’s New Year, darling! The very first day of the Lunar New Year, and he’s actually with her. Doesn’t he need to be with his family? What right does *she* have to his company, that two-faced schemer?"

There’s a reason secret lovers stay in the shadows—they wouldn’t dare to bring their relationship into the open during holidays.

"Hey, Little Xuanyuan, why are you so agitated today?"

Zhou Xiaoxuan knew she had misspoken and immediately shut her mouth.

Still, resentfully, she shot one last glance back at Yan Xixi, who was still sitting there, eating the rabbit leg. Surprisingly, Wan Donglin was holding her handbag – a simple, ordinary-looking leather bag, not a luxury brand.

The value of a handbag isn’t important; what’s important is which man is holding it for you.

If it’s Wan Donglin, even if the bag is worthless, its value would instantly multiply a hundredfold.

Poor Zhou Xiaoxuan, who had maintained her sense of superiority over Yan Xixi for so long, found it all shattered in an instant.

In her heart, she felt a surge of panic. What if Yan Xixi had really gotten together with Wan Donglin? What would she do then? Although her own husband was considered wealthy, compared to the Wan Family, he was utter trash.
