5 How Did He Do It?

Morning came.

Tang Xinyue stretched her sore arms.

Although it was not up to par, the room could be considered clean. In any case, she was to stay for only one night.

She recalled the day after her and Li Xia's passionate night together. It was his mother, Qin Huiying's birthday. There would be a small gathering.

The reason she could remember it clearly was because she was utterly embarrassed by the Tang mother and daughter duo. Tang Xinyue acted innocent that time, but in reality, she implied insults and blamed her for actions she did not do.

Thinking about this, Tang Xinyue chuckled. "Let's see how you'll embarrass me now."

She exited the room, to find Li Xia walk out of his room at the same time.

"What are you doing here?" His aloof persona from before had gone back, nothing like how flustered he was the last night.

"Well, I... uh, wanted to check on you and Fan Lingxin!"

"The entire night, I assume?" He did not spare her even a glance as he walked down the stairs, not even waiting for a reply.

Tang Xinyue did not mind it at all. She was helplessly in love with this man her past life, but the memories of how harsh he had been with her made her fall out of love, and even somewhat disgusted.

The current Fan Lingxin should still be infatuated with him; I have to try my best not to make him hate her!

Tang Xinyue analyzed the situation. It was at this moment that she realized, she had no clothes to switch into.

"...I'll borrow some from Fan Lingxin."

She entered the room quietly, and there she saw Fan Lingxin, sleeping peacefully... and quite messily as well. Her arms were all over the place, and saliva dripped out of her open mouth.

"Was I really that unruly?" Tang Xinyue shook her head. Maybe this was the reason why Li Xia woke up before me.

She opened the wardrobe, and the sight of the variety of clothes greeted her eyes. She nodded in satisfaction.

Picking out a dress, she tried on one that Tang Xinyue had bought for her, telling her she would look beautiful in it. Of course, this was a massive lie, but her naive past self still bought it.

"I kind of get why Tang Xinyue wanted me to buy this now." Tang Xinyue looked at the mirror in awe. The dress was not suited to Fan Lingxin, but rather, to her instead!

She spun around, the dress fluttering in the wind.

"Gorgeous!"

That six years of marriage to the freak was not for nothing. She took all kinds of classes, learned how to play different instruments, and studied business and finance just to be his match. Her fashion sense increased while she did all of that.

After deciding on the dress, she wore heels that looked perfect when paired with the dress. She also put on long gloves and tightened them. Finally, she put on some makeup, not too little, not too much.

Fan Lingxin woke up with all the noise she made. She rubbed her eyes, stretched her arms, and yawned. "Tang... Xinyue?"

Tang Xinyue turned around and saw Fan Lingxin staring at her dumbfoundedly. She sent a smile and walked toward her.

"Lingxin, you should know something..."

"Ah, eh, what?"

"I will confess to you. The dresses that you bought, were all for me." Tang Xinyue said matter-of-factly.

Fan Lingxin, having just woken up, didn't mind anything. "Huh, okay."

"Let me dress you up now." Tang Xinyue lifted Fan Lingxin off the bed and put her on the floor with a thud.

"Ouch, Sister Xinyue. Why did you do that?" Fan Lingxin looked quite cute as she scratched her head in dissatisfaction.

Looking at Fan Lingxin, Tang Xinyue thought, "How did Li Xia not fall in love with me?"
