213 — Qianhua Ms. Mischievous

She regretted washing the dress she wore the day before. If she had at least checked and realized the emptiness of her suitcase, she wouldn't have washed it.

Now not knowing what to wear, she put on a new set of lingerie and once again wore a bathrobe over it.

Was Su Qianhua really thinking she would not need to wear clothes at all? How could she remove every single dress? not even shorts or tank tops were spared!

Just as she poured herself another cup of tea and settled down on the bed once more, her phone rang.

Talk of the devil.

She, who had a bellyful of anger with nowhere to vent immediately picked it.

Su Qianhua ignored Jiang Philip's soft "be careful," sitting up excitedly when she saw Pei Yueran's face, "Oh here comes the latest bride in town!!!" She screamed.

Jiang Philip who was thrown aside shook his head and got up. But it was a good thing she was still full of energy despite the stress of the day before, so he didn't complain.

They were to leave City M later in the afternoon, so Jiang Philip decided to go and pack, leaving the friends to talk.

Pei Yueran forgot about her anger after seeing her friend's obviously happy face. She smiled in response.

Then Su Qianhua had the cheek to say, "Did you see my gift in your suitcase?"

At the reminder, Pei Yueran began to boil. "I still have to settle that score with you. How could you do that? What was I supposed to wear?"

"Nothing? I mean, what kind of bride is so fixated on clothes on her wedding night?" Su Qianhua supplied in a matter of fact tone.

Pei Yueran wished she could wipe the infuriating grin off her face.

"Anyway, I wasn't expecting you to applaud me, since I didn't do it for you. The person I was trying to please definitely appreciated my painstaking efforts." Su Qianhua giggled mischievously.

Pei Yueran blushed. She was definitely not going to let her know that Li Chuanmo complimented her handiwork.

Su Qianhua could guess from her expression and she laughed aloud.

"That face tells it all Girl!" She laughed before saying, "Now on to the main reason for my call— how was last night?"

"What?" Pei Yueran asked with feigned ignorance.

"Hey Ranran, don't you dare pretend! You know what I'm talking about."

Of course Pei Yueran knew, but she found the topic embarrassing, so she had no plans of talking.

But Su Qianhua was having none of it.

"Okay, let me rephrase: how did it feel to get your cherry popped?"

Pei Yueran's mistake was taking a mouthful of the tea that Li Chuanmo made as a peace offering at that moment.

She directly spat everything out in shock.

"SU QIANHUA!!!"

She screamed, while the culprit held the receiver away from her ear.

"Why are you shouting? Technically it has been so long that it could be considered your first time, so my question is valid." She stated without remorse.

Pei Yueran could not refute that. The shyness she felt and the out of the world experience really made her feel like it was her first time.

Then Su Qianhua added in surprise, " Wait, why does your voice sound like that? Oh my, this is explosive!!!"

Pei Yueran poured and chugged down two cups of tea before responding, "Mind your business."

But who was Su Qianhua? Was she even going to listen to that? "So how was it? Was Boss Li fierce? Can you even walk properly?"

Pei Yueran said in a resigned tone, "That mouth of yours says the most outrageous things you know? Must you say everything you think about?"

"Trust me girl, I have more specific and outrageous questions in mind, such as how many times did you guys do it and which position was the most taxing for you. I've pretty much censored my words already." Su Qianhua said, enjoying this conversation way too much.

"No comment. I don't ask about you and Philip, so don't ask about my husband and I."

"Oh, I can always tell you about my husband. Infact I've always wanted to tell you, but you would not listen. He's very good, and I'm a hundred percent satisfied. Infact, he can go for—"

"Qianhua please, spare me the details," Pei Yueran said, almost begging. Conversations like these were way out of her comfort zone ah.

"Why are you still so shy? I guess Boss Li has to loosen you up a bit more. That's why I said you don't need clothes. I'm sure you won't even be able to go out!"

"If you have nothing else to say, I'm hanging up. I want to sleep."

"Uh-uhn. Judging from your voice, you definitely need it. And is that a hickey I see?? OMG, Boss Li is really fierce!" Su Qianhua gloated, laughing when Pei Yueran cut the call without saying goodbye.

She slapped her thigh in excitement as she laughed harder. It was really good to see her friend happy and glowing again.

Not to mention, teasing her could never, ever get boring!

"I'm very sure she's the one. Tinghua, I can feel it in my bones. My heart just went out to her immediately she appeared. She's the one!" Qiao Mingran stated with certainty.

They were on the plane heading back to the Capital. Qiao Mingran had been quietly brooding since they left the wedding venue and only broke the silence now.

"That's what I think too Mother, not to mention that she has the star shaped birthmark you spoke about." Gao Tinghua spoke while unbuttoning the top two buttons on his shirt.

"Really? Then she's definitely the one! Why haven't we told her yet?" Qiao Mingran questioned with slight agitation.

"Because it could be a coincidence. Solid evidence is still needed. I spoke to Chairman Li —her husband, but he said I had to speak with her and let her decide if she wants to know."

"Then let's talk to her. Schedule a meeting immediately." She felt like she couldn't wait any more.

"Mother, they're probably leaving for their honeymoon today and I don't think they would be back until the next week at least. Chairman Li would not allow anything to disturb her state of mind during this time."

"I see." Qiao Mingran suddenly calmed down. Of course it made sense. Who would want to rile up his bride during one of the happiest times of her life?

"I'm glad he seems to care so much for her." She said, a bit wistful. Her husband used to be this attentive too back then.

Gao Tinghua's grip on his water glass tightened. He decided he could use something stronger and signaled to the air hostess.
