Li Peifeng was chatting with Zhao Qingge’s parents, while in another part of Jintian City Apartments, three girls were chatting over hot pot.

At first, the conversation was normal, focusing on the hot pot itself, topics like, "The vegetables are refreshing, the meat is fragrant, the tripe is crispy," "The seasoning seems a bit off," "I asked Li Peifeng for the recipe, why hasn’t he replied yet," and so on.

But as the meal went on, after each had a bottle of beer, Xu Manning couldn’t hold back her anxious heart, and suddenly asked Huang Tianxuan the question she’d been really worried about.

"Have you and her ever had a fling?"

Xu Manning pointed at Wu Wenyue beside her, her face serious: "I’m talking about her, and I mean in real life!"

She knew about Li Peifeng and Huang Tianxuan, but whether Wu Wenyue had betrayed her was still uncertain; Miss Xu had to know if her fortress had been breached from within...

So, this meal of theirs had little to do with Li Peifeng; it was Wu Wenyue’s battlefield!!

"Oh heavens, how did I end up in this situation?!!"

Wu Wenyue was crying inside without tears, desperately signaling to Huang Tianxuan: No, it’s not true, you and I are innocent!

"Ah..."

Huang Tianxuan’s mouth slightly opened, looking at Wu Wenyue with eyes reflecting chaos, who was subtly shaking her head, suddenly finding this very amusing. Under the table, she lightly kicked Wu Wenyue opposite her, then smiled casually, "What are you talking about? Me and her? Although in the dream, Yueyue and I were quite close, that was all just a confusing mess, how could it be possible to have an affair with her in a sober state... You think I’m like you? My orientation is normal!"

The conviction in Huang Tianxuan’s words puzzled Xu Manning a bit. Could Li Peifeng really just be slandering? It can’t be; there’s always a reason for rumors...

"Manning, do you trust Xiaofeng and not me?"

Wu Wenyue seized the opportunity to express her dissatisfaction, as if she was truly wronged: "You can believe everything Li Peifeng says? Can’t you learn your lesson?"

To be fair, she had captured part of Li Peifeng’s charm in that stance as well; proximity does influence people.

Xu Manning was half-skeptical, lacking solid evidence to settle the matter: "Then Sister Xuan, you’re still ambiguously involved with Li Peifeng, that’s true, right?"

Huang Tianxuan thought seriously for a moment, then slowly shook her head: "No. I haven’t seen him recently. If you’re talking about the 520 gift money incident, Li Peifeng was the one who asked me for it, I didn’t send him anything, and I didn’t expect him to give me flowers afterward... But I can assure you all, I’ve been keeping my distance from him, any flirting was initiated by him; I’ve been passive. If you don’t believe me, I can show you our recent WeChat conversations."

With her sincere attitude and consecutive denials, Xu Manning found herself at a loss for words, but soon noticed the loophole in her words: "So you’re saying, as long as Li Peifeng makes the move, you’d be willing to keep this ambiguous relationship going?"

"If I have nothing else to do..."

Huang Tianxuan answered casually, noticing the growing anger in Xu Manning’s eyes, then smiled, "Don’t worry, unless he marries me, I won’t sleep with him. If I lose interest in him, I’ll say goodbye."

Xu Manning slammed her hand on the table in anger: "Huang Danai!! What kind of answer is that?! Do you dare to say that out loud?"

"What else can I do?"

Huang Tianxuan raised her eyebrows: "Stay away from him, stop taking his calls, stop replying to his messages, act like I don’t know Li Peifeng?"

"Exactly!"

Huang Tianxuan immediately questioned, "Why should I?"

Xu Manning responded fiercely: "Wu Wenyue and I are both his girlfriends, and during the winter break, we’re supposed to go home with him to meet his parents. Do you think what you’re doing is ethical?"

Huang Tianxuan’s eyes showed disdain: "Sister, listen to what you’re saying. You and Yueyue are both his girlfriends, and he’s going to take you to meet his parents... Aren’t you making trouble for his parents during the New Year? Is it appropriate? Are you three being ethical?"

"Take my advice, don’t go to his house at all. If his parents aren’t in the best health and something happens because of anger, what will you do?!"

After all, it’s President Huang; with five more years of experience, she knows what she’s talking about. Xu Manning couldn’t outtalk her, only being able to shout with a hollow fierceness: "Anyway, you can’t keep seeing Peifeng anymore, the foolishness in the dream was just a dream, it shouldn’t invade reality, or else no one will have a good outcome!"

Still a silly mess, not yelling at Li Peifeng but instead demanding me to do this or that... hmph~

Huang Tianxuan no longer dignified her with a response, picking up her chopsticks to continue eating, Xu Manning angrily picked up her chopsticks to disrupt her; whatever she picked up, Miss Xu picked up too, and the two began dueling with their chopsticks.

Huang Tianxuan frowned slightly, looking at Wu Wenyue: "Can you control her, don’t just watch the show."

"Huang Danai, what nonsense are you spouting?! Who’s the child and who’s the mom?"

Xu Manning was dissatisfied again; although in their shared dream, under a certain special chaotic scene, she had used that term for Wu Wenyue, now... now how could it count?!

"Alright, alright."

Wu Wenyue helplessly grasped Xu Manning’s hand: "Eat first, let me have a word with Sister Xuan."

Then turning to the eating Huang Tianxuan, she pursed her lips and said: "Sister Xuan, you know Li Peifeng, he’s determined to do whatever he wants. Aren’t you wasting your time?"

Huang Tianxuan took a napkin to wipe the slight sweat on her forehead, took a sip of beer, and said: "I’ve said it, if I lose interest in him, I’ll naturally turn and leave, you don’t need to worry about me, think more about what you’ll do with your future."
