Chapter 177: Chapter 177: Lu Youxi couldn’t help but feel a pang of jealousy

Lu Youxi found it strange why Zhou Shuyan had asked if she could drive.

In her previous life, Lu Youxi had known how to drive, and naturally, she hadn’t forgotten these skills in this life.

But in this life, she yet had no chance to take the driving test. Even if she could drive, it would be useless because driving without a license was out of the question.

Lu Youxi did not reveal whether she could drive or not, instead she replied, "I don’t have a driver’s license yet."

When Zhou Shuyan saw Lu Youxi’s reply, he thought to himself that he had been silly.

Back in Hexing Village, how could Lu Youxi have had the opportunity to learn to drive?

Of course, it was impossible for her to have a driver’s license.

Zhou Shuyan rubbed his eyes a couple of times; he hadn’t drunk much—how did he become so muddled?

Zhou Shuyan had been thinking, if Lu Youxi knew how to drive, he would have a perfect excuse to ask her to pick him up.

And by doing so, let Lai Zhonglin and the others know he was married, with Mrs. Zhou, such a significant presence, they couldn’t disbelieve it.

But now this plan fell through, and he didn’t reply immediately.

Lu Youxi waited a long time for Zhou Shuyan’s reply; she slightly knitted her brows, constantly preoccupied with this, she couldn’t focus on a single word in the list before her.

She put down her pen and picked up her phone once again.

Lu Youxi held her phone and hesitated for quite a while before sending a message to Zhou Shuyan, "What’s wrong?"

Zhou Shuyan wasn’t expecting Lu Youxi to reply anymore.

After all, Lu Youxi was someone who had always been intent on divorcing.

With her mindset, it probably didn’t occur to her to show more concern for him.

Just then, his phone vibrated. Although Zhou Shuyan didn’t think it was from Lu Youxi, he still opened his phone with a flicker of hope.

Unexpectedly, it really was another text from Lu Youxi.

Asking him what was wrong.

The corners of Zhou Shuyan’s mouth involuntarily curled up slightly, and he immediately replied, "I had dinner with a client tonight, and to my surprise, the client brought his niece along."

When Lu Youxi read this, she envisioned a client bringing a little girl.

Perhaps because there was no one at home to take care of her, she was brought along to the dinner.

This was something Lu Youxi had encountered in her previous life.

It was during a dinner with a client, whose father had brought his elementary school-aged daughter.

Considering the difficulty of taking care of children, when there was just no way to get away from home, Lu Youxi never minded such situations.

With children around, as long as they didn’t disrupt the serious discussion.

And the time she encountered it, the client’s little girl was very well-behaved, silently eating her meal throughout.

After eating, she would sit there and daydream.

Only when someone found the little girl to be particularly cute and chatted with her, asking her simple questions, did she speak up.

And she answered the questions succinctly, without a word extra.

Lu Youxi had also met a client who was a mother, who brought her elementary school-aged son to the dinner.

The little boy was mischievous but sensible.

He was quiet at the table and worked on his homework after he finished eating.

So, when Zhou Shuyan said that, the same scene naturally popped into Lu Youxi’s mind.

However, bringing one’s own child was common, bringing a niece was indeed rare.

Lu Youxi thought for a moment and typed, "It is indeed rare for someone to bring their niece to such a function."

Before she could send the message, she received a new text from Zhou Shuyan: "The client wants to set me up with his niece."

Lu Youxi: "..."

Lu Youxi quickly deleted the unsent message.

Turns out it was a matchmaking attempt!

She had thought the other party was a little girl.

Rendered speechless, Lu Youxi replied, "How old is she?"

This question was honestly unexpected for Zhou Shuyan, "She’s a junior at Hua University, I didn’t ask her exact age."

Lu Youxi muttered, "That age does indeed match Zhou Shuyan well."

"Why did you ask if I could drive?" Lu Youxi added, but she felt an unshakeable gloom and couldn’t muster much enthusiasm.

Fortunately, this was a text message, preventing Zhou Shuyan from detecting her emotions through the ordinary words.

Zhou Shuyan immediately explained, "I’ve had a little to drink and thought that if you could drive, it would be a good opportunity for you to come and help me prove that I’m married."

Seeing this, Lu Youxi’s mood suddenly lifted quite a bit, and the corners of her mouth couldn’t help but rise.

"No, wait, do you have a car?" Lu Youxi suddenly thought of this.

Zhou Shuyan: "..."

He really was slowed by alcohol, completely forgetting this issue.

Quickly finding an excuse, Zhou Shuyan said, "No, it’s the company car. When we go out for business, the company provides a car to make us look more presentable."

Lu Youxi: "..."

She seemed never to have asked Zhou Shuyan exactly where he worked.

What kind of company so emphasizes the image of its employees?

Lu Youxi began to have doubts. Even if she couldn’t drive, it seemed Zhou Shuyan wanted her to show up, possibly as a buffer against advances.

But she and Zhou Shuyan had a fake marriage and would eventually get divorced.

Normally, they should hide the fact that they were married to avoid hindering his search for a real girlfriend.

But now, as soon as Lu Youxi thought about someone showing interest in Zhou Shuyan, a sour feeling involuntarily rose in her heart.

"I wonder what that girl looks like?" mumbled Lu Youxi to herself, "Being a junior at Hua University, she must be quite the scholar."

"Having the confidence for the elders to introduce her to Zhou Shuyan, she must be quite attractive."

"After all, Zhou Shuyan’s own good looks are evident, and most wouldn’t dare express any clear affection toward him if they weren’t confident in their appearance."

"Don’t mention it; Zhou Shuyan’s face is truly..." Lu Youxi clicked her tongue.

Suddenly, without warning, her thoughts flashed back to when they returned to Hexing Village and woke up together in the morning.

She found herself sleeping in Zhou Shuyan’s arms, even brushing her lips against his neck so distinctly that she tasted the scent of his skin.

It was a refreshing scent, carrying a faint saltiness from his skin.

Her thoughts quickly moved to the image of looking up and seeing Zhou Shuyan’s face so close by.

His face was still laden with a deep and obvious sleepiness as he woke, yet it was infuriatingly enticing.

The thought of that face being coveted by someone else right now, being eyed by another woman at the dinner table, and who knew how delightedly—made Lu Youxi’s heart incessantly wring with jealousy, all the way from her heart to her stomach, until she felt completely sour.

I wonder if they’ve exchanged contact information yet?

If the elder suggests it, and since they are clients, politeness would require them to agree, right?

Does she like Zhou Shuyan, I wonder?
