Chapter 997: Chapter 997 Since I Met You on the Banks of the River of Longing

The bicycle came to a halt.

The woman in a pink long dress stood on one leg, her peach-blossom eyes lingering romantically on Yu Jingting.

When Yu Jingting saw her, he spat forcefully in his mind, disgusted!

"Director Qu, what a coincidence."

At his words, the woman, with red nail polish on her hands, covered her mouth and laughed, "Isn’t that so? It must be fate."

Yu Jingting, who never believed in ghosts or gods, seriously reflected.

Could it be because he, at the holy land of Buddhism, had the audacity to think of sneaking into the woods with his wife, and that he had aroused the envy, jealousy, and hatred of the Buddha, who sent this lovelorn lunatic to annoy him?

As Yu Jingting was mentally blasting her with his thoughts, in Director Qu’s eyes, he appeared deeply restrained, melancholic, and handsome.

Director Qu, her throat parched and tongue scorched, struggled to suppress her burgeoning fondness.

"I even prayed to the Bodhisattva today, hoping to meet you, and here you are," Director Qu said, sending a strong wave of flirtation with her eyes.

Director Qu was no longer content with speaking to him across the bicycle; she parked it properly, walked straight up to Yu Jingting, and conveyed her wild hints with her gaze.

"There’s no time like the present, just happened to run into you, let’s talk about that order right ahead."

Yu Jingting followed her gaze, and, lo and behold, ahead there was... the Guest House?!

"Oh, don’t get me wrong, my sister is the supervisor at the Guest House. We can drink tea for free over there and have a place to rest, but of course, if you have other ideas, that’s not out of the question either."

A sedan pulled up and stopped next to Director Qu, and the window rolled down to reveal Suizi’s curious face poking out.

Director Qu hadn’t yet realized that the rightful wife had arrived and kept on giving endless hints—no, it was already beyond hints, it was an explicit show.

"Mr. Yu, do you believe in fate? Since the first time I laid eyes on you, I felt like we’ve met in a past life."

Suizi had trouble with her throat and couldn’t speak, so, in this situation, she could only express her feelings through the car’s recorder.

Her little hand swiftly operated the car recorder.

"Ever since I met you on the banks of the River of Love~~~~"

The melodious tune drifted out from the car window, and Yu Jingting was so furious his nose almost crooked.

This little wench, doing it on purpose?!

He was being shamelessly leered at by a madwoman with her eyes, and she didn’t come down quickly to scratch away this lovesick fool, but instead, took great interest in setting background music?

And what on earth was this damn music she paired it with!

Suizi saw Yu Jingting’s face turn awfully grim, reminiscent of the Elder Tang being tied up and taken back to Pansi Cave by the Spider Spirit; she hurriedly hit the stop button, tumbling around to find another cassette.

Changing the bgm, huh? She got it.

So, the melody by the River of Love ceased.

"As long as Mr. Yu is willing to talk with me alone, I believe your business will grow bigger and bigger, just like you..." Director Qu’s gaze brazenly drifted downwards.

Yu Jingting couldn’t care less about her flirting right now; he was glaring at Suizi, almost spewing fire. Wasn’t the little wench coming down quickly enough to scratch this nymphomaniac’s face to pieces? What was she dawdling for?

Suizi, fumbling to change cassettes, and upon hearing Director Qu fantasize about Yu Jingting’s future, had an epiphany—she found the right one!

She switched to "Tomorrow Will Be Better"!

Suizi encouraged Yu Jingting with her motivated eyes, conveying that true love exists in this world; once they got through this ordeal, tomorrow would be infinitely better!

Yu Jingting’s face turned completely dark; this little wench, she was even more infuriating when she couldn’t talk than when she could, mastering the art of shade to perfection.

Before Yu Jingting could explode, Suizi finally opened the car door and got out.

Director Qu desperately sent little pink hearts with her eyes towards Yu Jingting, but her expression turned sharp when she saw Suizi.

"Mr. Yu, who might this be—?"

"It’s my shrew of a wife," Yu Jingting spat out the words "shrew of a wife" through clenched teeth, his anger evident for everyone to see, especially since Suizi enjoyed a good spectacle and wasn’t afraid to stir up trouble.

"Oh... her?" Director Qu scanned Suizi with an eye that had been dusted pink.

Suizi was sizing her up just as subtly.

Without any need for Jingting to introduce who this pink lady was, Suizi had already figured it out from her behavior.

It must be that gold-digger sister who had been clinging to him lately!

Putting aside her terrible personality and gold-digging tendencies, this gold-digger sister was undeniably pretty.

Among the women who had taken a fancy to Jingting in the past, she was absolutely, uniquely gorgeous.

Her features were as exquisite as pearls and jade, and despite her poor choice of clothing and garish makeup – which deducted points – one could still tell she was a beauty, which was pretty remarkable.

The more Suizi looked, the deeper the amusement in her eyes became.

She glanced at Director Qu, then a few times at her own man, and then nodded with satisfaction, wearing a contented expression.

Jingting was about to burst a vessel on the side, pushing Suizi with his hand. What was this little wench thinking, wearing this "my son has come of age" expression!

The previous women who had liked Jingting were mostly subpar.

Now that such a beautiful woman was head over heels for him, it meant his personal charm had clearly improved, attracting a whole new level of admirers. As his wife who had been with him from the start, Suizi couldn’t help but feel some gratification.

Suizi crazily conveyed her maternal pride with her eyes to Jingting, which only made him more annoyed.

The last thing he wanted was this damnable charm, ugh!

As the couple exchanged knowing looks, Director Qu couldn’t hold back any longer and broke the silence.

"I often hear Mr. Yu speaking of you. Indeed, you’re a talented woman with both beauty and brains," she said.

Her words sounded as if she thought she was the main wife, and the way she said it with a smile clearly meant to sow discord between Suizi and Jingting.

Suizi acted as if she couldn’t detect the provocation, nodding cheerfully.

"Why aren’t you speaking?" Director Qu’s provocative efforts were drying up; annoyed by Suizi’s silence, she was getting impatient.

Suizi gestured at her own throat, indicating that she too wanted to speak but couldn’t.

She had planned to quietly play some background music in the car for these two, but her man wouldn’t have it and dragged her out instead. As a wife forced into business, she felt quite helpless.

"Could you be... a mute?" Director Qu’s eyes lit up.

"Mute my ass—" Jingting was about to curse, but Suizi’s small leather shoe pressed hard against his foot, silencing him.

She, on the other hand, was nodding furiously, misleading Director Qu into thinking she was indeed a person with a speech impairment.

While Director Qu wasn’t paying attention, Suizi’s hand surreptitiously caressed her bicycle’s seat from behind her back.

Director Qu’s sense of superiority exploded, and she straightened up.

"So, you’re disabled. No wonder Mr. Yu is always so serious. Oh dear, look at me rambling on, I hope I haven’t offended you?" There was no hiding Director Qu’s glee, as her smile could hardly be contained.

Suizi mouthed silently, "Idiot. He’s serious because he’s fed up with you, you giant fly."

Director Qu’s smile faltered; she felt like Suizi was insulting her?

She couldn’t understand the long stream of lip movements, but that first shape of the mouth seemed like an insult?

"My wife said, ’You’re lovely,’" Jingting translated.

Suizi nodded and then mouthed silently again, "Big lovesick fool."

"She says it’s a pleasure to meet you. You truly are a stunning beauty. None can surpass you, able to pluck the moon from the heavens, and dive into the oceans to capture turtles," Jingting continued to translate.

"???" Director Qu was confused, a mass of question marks over her head. His translations were getting more puzzling by the minute, long sentences turned short and short to long.
