When they reached their apartment, it was already the middle of the night. Vivian appeared exhausted, so she went upstairs to go to the bedroom directly. Edward wanted to enter the bedroom with her, but he was afraid that he might appear too eager and it might displease her, so he stopped in the living room. “Vee,” he called out to her. When she turned around to look at him, he didn’t know what to say. He could only smile and say, “Goodnight.” Vivian pursed her lips gingerly but remained quiet
Xyliana Yanders was the celebrity they met that day and Seth’s girlfriend. After they exchanged their WeChat IDs that night, they didn’t lose contact for the past two days. Moreover, Xyliana even sent some photographs of the set to Vivian, extending her a warm invitation to go and visit her. Although Vivian was uninterested in Xyliana and her film, she needed to go there because of her little scheme. No matter what kind of request she voiced out now, Edward would grant them whether they were r
Suddenly, he called her softly, “Vee.”Vivian did not turn around as she replied, “Yes?” He replied, “If you want to meet Seth in the future, just tell me directly. You don’t have to beat around the bush.” “Sure,” she replied calmly without giving any explanation. Edward was slightly impatient. He was quiet for a short while before he asked, “Why are you acting like this?” She pursed her lips and replied, “People need to have a mission in their lives in order to stay alive.” He was st
He watched her in silence. His gaze was gloomy, profound, and so deep that they were like bottomless pits. After a long pause, he suddenly smiled and asked her in a soft voice, “If I die, will you shed a few tears for me?”“I’ll do more than shed a few tears for you! If you die, I’ll shed tears of joy and have a good cry too. I’ll cry for three days and three nights non-stop,” she replied, her soft lips spewing the cruelest words.He simply smiled and gently pushed the stray hairs on her foreh
Edward was neither angered nor fazed when he heard this. He simply nodded slowly and discussed seriously with her, “So, would you like to meet up with Seth? Or you could work at the company. I can arrange a position for you on Seth’s side. It’d be easier for you to see him then.”It was like a punch to a cotton bale. No force was required at all, except that it irritated Vivian so much that she was close to puking blood. In her annoyance, she shot him a fierce glare, then turned her head away a
He opened his eyes that held a sly glint. He grinned at her, then got up, washed up, and headed off to work.Over the next few days, the deadlock between the pair had inevitably softened, thanks to their physical intimacy. One night, when Edward returned from a dinner party, she spoke to him straightaway, “Arrange a position for me in your office. Any insignificant position will do. Oh, and don’t tell anyone about our relationship.”He was overjoyed, but he maintained a cool facade. “Be my ass
Edward’s personal phone did have a lot of numbers, and they could be searched alphabetically, so she found Jake’s name in no time at all. The number was foreign to her and was completely different from the one that she had previously memorized. Vivian swept her gaze across the number at once. There was still some time before Edward would be done with his shower. She gritted her teeth and used his phone to call the number.This was a very risky idea. However, it seemed highly possible that this
She did not seem surprised. She turned around and looked at him. When she saw that he only had a towel wrapped around his waist, she raised her brow. “Aren’t you cold?” she asked mockingly.He maintained a poker face as he smirked and replied, “Not at all.”Vivian nodded slowly, then turned her head back to the television. She glanced at it for a while then absent-mindedly asked, “Can you give me two other books? I’ve finished reading the last one.” She got up and brought the book that she had
