"He came to see me on Christmas Day."
"Really? What did he say? Do you two still have a chance?"
Yan Xixi briefly recounted what happened that day. Xu Xiaoya was both surprised and delighted. "I used to dislike Huang Xiaojue, but I really see him in a new light now. Xixi, you mustn't let him slip away. He's truly a rare, good man."
She shook her head dejectedly. "You know what his mother is like."
Xu Xiaoya said dismissively, "You're not going to live with his mother, so what's there to fear? It'll be fine as long as Huang Xiaojue's parents don't live with you, right? Besides, his career is going so well now. His parents can't possibly interfere with everything he does, can they?"
If only things were that simple.
"Wait a minute! If Huang Xiaojue has already made his intentions clear to you, why didn't he even call you on your birthday today?"
