The woman looked at her coldly and gave He Xiyan an appraising look.

She didn’t think there was anything special about He Xiyan.

She was probably about 1.6 meters tall. Her chest was flat and there was nothing memorable about her looks.

She felt extremely aggrieved the longer she spent studying He Xiyan and bit her lips petulantly.

“Why would he be dating you?” she said as she clenched her fists. She refused to believe that her outstanding senior at university would fall for someone who looked so average.

She wondered if He Xiyan was the daughter of a high-ranking official.

She was thinking too much into this but this was the only possibility she could think of.

He Xiyan laughed coldly. She felt extremely shocked but she tried her best not to let her shock show on her face.

“Who are you?” she asked once again because this was the only thing she wanted to find out.

“I am…” she paused for a moment and a look briefly flashed past her eyes. He Xiyan wasn’t able to decipher what that look meant before the woman said, “I’m his junior at university.”

“Oh…” He Xiyan said.

His junior at university?

She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

She said that she was his junior at university and didn’t mention anything about being his girlfriend, so she shouldn’t be suspicious of his relationship with this woman. This woman might just be an ordinary acquaintance or someone who had a crush on him just as she used to.

She pursed her lips and she felt much better at that thought.

“He isn’t around at the moment,” she said calmly.

The woman immediately turned and left without even bidding her goodbye.

He Xiyan didn’t see the hatred that blossomed across that woman’s eyes as she turned to leave.

He Xiyan closed the door, picked up her phone, and noticed that it was already 5 PM when she looked at the clock. She read the message that he had sent her earlier. He said that he was making his way over from the northern part of the city and would be back at his apartment in an hour’s time.

She returned to the kitchen where she had already finished boiling the water in the pot and started to cook.

She made her signature dishes, such as braised beef brisket with potatoes, red-braised crucian carp, stir-fried vegetables, and a tomato-and-egg soup.

She cooked quickly and finished cooking in 40 minutes.

The door opened after she placed the last dish on the table, the door opened with a click.

“Yixuan…” He Xiyan called out happily and ran toward the entrance.

This time, it was truly him at the door. There was another man at the door and he looked vaguely familiar.

Who was he?

She couldn’t recall his name.

“Hello, sister-in-law…” the man said as he greeted her with a smile.

He Xiyan felt speechless.

She bit her lips in embarrassment and blushed when he addressed her as ‘sister-in-law’.

Mo Yixuan smiled, looked at He Xiyan and pointed at his friend. “This is my friend, Yang Mingyu,” he said as he introduced his friend.

He Xiyan nodded and greeted him with a smile, “Hello!”

“I’m sure you must be hungry, right?” she asked. She extended the dinner invite to him since he was Yixuan’s friend.

She didn’t think she had enough rice for them, but she definitely had enough food.

Yang Mingyu had already entered the apartment and roamed around the place as though it was his house.

“Oh my god! It smells so good…” he said as he took a deep breath. He instantly felt ravenous.
