Chapter 52: The Public Lovers (5)

  Han Sheng's explanation was extremely simple, but the whole story made sense at once, and I couldn't help but suspect his kindness, asking, "Why tell me?"

  "Uh... I hate deception and being deceived. Besides, I quite like you too, hoping we can mutually like each other on an equal basis. Also, after tomorrow, Vivian will be my fiancée, I care about my wife deeply, so it's better if everyone is honest from the start."

  Everyone be honest from now on.

  This sentence is like a hard thorn stuck in my throat, and I suddenly understood the actions of my father and the attitude of Cheng Auntie, as well as Xia Muzi's attitude. It turned out that this was all an act, from before until now, just to get me hooked! They said they wanted to live with my family together, but the purpose was actually for today. I could only respond with a cold laugh and a ridiculous expression that was both smiling and crying. In fact, I should have guessed it earlier, when Cheng Nuan suggested it, I should have guessed it, but I just didn't want to think about it.

  "Vivian?" Han Sheng shook my shoulder, and after I came to, I squeezed out a smile and said, "Do you want something to drink? I'm thinking of having some orange juice, would you like a cup too?"

  Everyone in the world deceives me, at least Han Sheng has told me the truth, and there is one more person... Xia Mu Cheng. Should I ask him? I got up and walked towards the kitchen, my eyes involuntarily looking up to the second floor, thinking that if he comes home today, I'll try asking him, just a question would be fine.

  I originally thought Xia Mu Cheng would be back home tonight, but the phone in the living room rang in the evening. Seeing no one wanting to answer it, I walked over and picked up, "Hello, Xia residence!"

  "Vivian?" The voice on the other end of the line was somewhat surprised, hesitantly calling out my name. I felt that this voice was very familiar, but after thinking about it, it couldn't be Han Sheng's call, he had dragged his feet for half a day before leaving. So, still out of habit, I replied, "May I ask who is speaking?"

  "I'm Xia Mu Cheng, something came up tonight and I won't be going home, can you let them know for me?"

  That voice hesitated for a moment and quickly told me something about not going home. I nodded and said, "Okay."

  When I was about to hang up the receiver, I heard Xia Mu Cheng's voice coming from inside. I immediately put the receiver back to my ear, "Hello?"

  "Uh... tomorrow's ceremony, I'll make sure to attend on time, and I've got the formal wear with me... uh... goodnight..."

  "Good night." It wasn't until the other person hung up and I heard the dial tone that I hung up the receiver and walked to Father's and Auntie Chang's room, knocking softly on the door.
