How Unlucky

Then, two other staff members passed by and had the same reaction. Xu Yi frowned slightly.

When they were waiting for the elevator, Xu Yi asked Zheng Siyi, "What's going on?"

Zheng Siyi had been chatting with someone backstage while Xu Yi was rehearsing. Now that Xu Yi asked about it, she said with an unpleasant expression, "Sister Yi, Yan Ruyu is here today. How unlucky! He's recording another show, so he won't be able to meet you."

"No wonder. Yeah, that's really unlucky." Xu Yi nodded.

However, in the blink of an eye, she chuckled and looked at the person who was walking towards her. "Speak of the Devil."

After being tricked by Yan Ruyu's affectionate performance, he and Xu Yi had basically been in a state of 'mutual alienation' for the past few years. They basically had no interaction with each other.

Zheng Siyi looked at Yan Ruyu, who was walking towards them, and her eyes widened. It was work time now, so it was fortunate that there were not many people in the corridor of the television station. Otherwise, this would be another big piece of news.

Yan Ruyu walked to the elevator and smiled at Xu Yi. "Long time no see, Little Yi."

When the elevator arrived, Xu Yi walked in first. She glanced at Yan Ruyu and said expressionlessly, "Long time no see, Teacher Yan."

Yan Ruyu asked, "Are you here to record for the show today?"

Xu Yi said, "Of course. After all, the executive director has personally invited me. It would be rude not to come."

Yan Ruyu did not know if she was lamenting, but he still laughed softly. "The executive director has to personally invite you. You're no longer the little girl you used to be."

Xu Yi and Yan Ruyu looked at each other. "Why? From your tone, why does it seem like you can't forget me?"

The smile on Yan Ruyu's face froze when he heard those words.

Back when 'Seven Lives in Love' exploded, Xu Yi was very cooperative every time the two of them recorded a show. Moreover, because she debuted later than him, she had always been very respectful to him.

It was only after he used Xu Yi to establish the 'deeply in love' setting that she no longer paid attention to him. That respect was no longer there.

Yan Ruyu recomposed his expression. "There are so many people in the industry circle who can't forget you, but it's a pity that until now, no one has had the honor of being together with you."

Xu Yi's gaze intensified. "Teacher Yan, keep working on it. Perhaps it will happen soon."

They both knew what the other party was talking about.

Back then, after she rejected Yan Ruyu's advances, she was soon photographed entering the hotel with the mysterious man, which led to the subsequent events. As a result, Xu Yi had to face substantial public criticism, but Yan Ruyu took the opportunity to earn a wave of popularity.

At that time, she was still a rookie. She could not imagine the darkness in people's hearts. She had to learn the hard way.

In the blink of an eye, the elevator arrived.

Xu Yi got off the elevator first, and a smile appeared on her face again. "Oh right, Teacher Yan, you have a good eye. I wish you and 'Little Xu Yi 'a good marriage. May your marriage be happy and everlasting..."

Then, Xu Yi turned around and walked away. Yan Ruyu's smile faded and his face gradually turned cold.

...

Xu Yi returned to the hotel. As she had met Yan Ruyu, she was in a bad mood. She opened a bottle of red wine and poured herself a glass.

She paused for a moment before taking out her phone. She took a photo and sent it to Lu Shen.

[Look, this is my treasured red wine. It looks pretty good, right?]

After drinking this glass, Xu Yi felt that she was starting to get drunk.

She recalled that in the past, Yan Ruyu had once expressed his desire and love for her, but she had rejected him. However, why did she lose her head when she bumped into Lu Shen? It had only been three days and she married him.

Xu Yi poured herself another glass of wine and continued to drink. She thought to himself that perhaps fate was something that could not be explained clearly. Sometimes two people who see each other every day would not end up with each other, while two strangers may just fall in love after a day or two...

Unknowingly, Xu Yi had drunk more than half of the bottle of wine. She suddenly heard a knock on the door. Thinking that it was Zheng Siyi, she staggered to open the door. "Coming."

When the door opened, the person standing in front of her was Lu Shen.

Perhaps her brain had short-circuited after drinking, Xu Yi looked at Lu Shen in a daze. She stood at the door and called out, "Hubby, why are you here..."
