You're My Only Star

"I did not think that President Lu and his wife\'s relationship would be that good," one of the girls spoke and sighed. "I found it enviable."

"You think that their relationship was that good?" Yu Xiao Li spoke. "Don\'t be deceived. The two of them were only acting when they were in public."

"How do you know?" another asked. Her voice was a whisper. "Xiao Li, do you know something we don\'t?"

"Haven\'t you heard the scandal around President Lu in the past?" Yu Xiao Li spoke. "They were not just rumors. I heard from my husband that President Lu is actually a playboy. However, once his scandal broke out, he paid the girls some money to shut them up. Later, he made a statement that they were slanders. President Lu is someone with good backing. Who dared to go against him?"

The girls gasped as they heard this juicy gossip.

Song Xing Xing was still hiding in one of the cubicles as she continued to eavesdrop on the women\'s gossiping.

"Then, Mrs. Lu is too pitiful," someone spoke. "She is too young but had to marry a playboy like President Lu."

Yu Xiao Li chuckled. "What\'s there to pity about? The two only got married for benefit. President Lu is a businessman while his wife is someone from a political family. Can\'t you figure out what was going on? President Lu was only willing to marry his wife because he needed some backup."

There were several gasps before the girls started to whisper.

"Do you think that someone like President Lu could stay loyal to this marriage?" Yu Xiao Li clicked her tongue. "This will not be a happy marriage. They would either separate or live together in a loveless marriage."

Song Xing Xing narrowed her eyes as she listened to their girls chattering.

She did not like Yu Xiao Li\'s words a little bit.

It was just a while ago when these women had tried to fawn her. And now, when they thought that there was nobody around, they started to talk behind their back.

Moreover... their words were too unkind. It\'s fine if they did not believe that she and Lu Xun are in love. Do they have to curse her marriage like that?

What unhappy marriage?

This was the public\'s restroom. How stupid could they be to gossip in a place like this? Were they not afraid that someone was going to hear them?

Song Xing Xing pressed the flush button and instantly, the women\'s chattering stopped. She pushed the door and walked over to the sink to wash her hand.

Song Xing Xing was aware that the women, especially Yu Xiao Li were watching her with their mouths agape. However, she continued to pretend that she did not see them.

She firmly believed that one should not argue with an idiot.

Seeing her walk out of the cubicle was enough to scare these women from speaking another nonsense.

In the end, none of the girls spoke a word until she walked out of the restroom. Song Xing Xing was too lazy to care about what happened afterward.

If these women were sincere to be friends with her, she would treat them the same. Now that she knew of how they had viewed her and Lu Xun, there was no point in trying to be polite.

Once Lu Xun saw her walk over, he immediately noticed that there was something wrong with his wife. One glance at her face would tell him that she was unhappy.

A faint crease appeared at the space between his brow.

Just a moment ago, Song Xing Xing was still in a good mood. What happened that made her unhappy?

Lu Xun shifted his gaze in the direction where Song Xing Xing had come from. However, he could not see anything or anyone.

"What happened?"

Song Xing Xing felt the man\'s arms wrapped around her waist and immediately stopped. She turned around and smiled.

Seeing the smile that did not reach her eyes made Lu Xun a little worried. "Xing Xing?"

Song Xing Xing quickly snapped out of her trance.

She was unhappy after hearing the words that those women had said. It made her angry. However, she realized that this was not Lu Xun\'s fault. She should not make things difficult for him without any reason.

Song Xing Xing pursed her lips into a thin line and took a deep breath to calm down. "Did your company have any business with KK Group?"

The frown on his face deepened.

Song Xing Xing usually did not ask him questions about his company or anyone he was working with. Of course, her question would raise an alarm. Lu Xun quickly guessed that the reason his wife was unhappy had something to do with this company.

Lu Xun recalled that a while ago, President Luo\'s wife had come to Xing Xing\'s side and tried to strike a conversation with her. However, he could not notice if there was anything wrong with his wife when the group of women had left.

Then, there should be a problem when his wife went to the restroom.

"Not yet," Lu Xun admitted. He thought about this company and said, "KK Group recently obtained a plot of land in the east side of the city. They were working to find a few investors to work with them. A while ago, someone from their company had reached our side to discuss a possible collaboration. Bei Yuan showed me their proposal but I still haven\'t got time to properly look at them."

These days, he was too busy marrying a wife and enjoying his life as a married man. When did he have time to look at unimportant documents? He would rather return home early and prepare for his wedding.

Hearing his explanation, Song Xing Xing could guess that the project that KK Group was working on was big and would be beneficial for Lu Xun\'s company.

"Are you planning to work with them?" Song Xing Xing asked.

"No."

"Why not?"

"Because it doesn\'t seem that someone related to this company had made my wife upset."

Song Xing Xing stared back at him in surprise. "Are you not going to ask me the reason why I\'m unhappy with them?"

"Whatever the reason might be, no one should make my wife unhappy," Lu Xun said. It was fine if those people said a few unpleasant words to him. How could they say anything to his wife?

Her expression was no longer as tensed as she listened to his words. "Are you not afraid that you might lose a lot of money?" 

Lu Xun chuckled. "Do you think I would mind if I lose an opportunity to do business with their company? Even if I lose some money, my wife could still support me."

Song Xing Xing laughed and the trace of unhappiness swiftly disappeared.

Of course, KK Group was quickly put on the blacklist. Lu Xun had no intention to work with them now or in the future.. Once President Luo learned of the reason Lu Xun was upset, Yu Xiao Li had to face her husband\'s wrath.
