Rebirth of a Village Girl

Chapter 1393: 354: Fourth Sister’s High-Profile Return! _3

It’s all because of her absent-mindedness!

She was absent-minded throughout the movie.

In contrast, Zhu Qianye beside her was smiling happily.

The movie ended, the lights turned on, and everything around them was brightly illuminated.

Adelle continued to apologize to the young woman, "I’m really sorry, I accidentally got your clothes wet just now. Let’s go out, I’ll buy you a new outfit."

The young woman smiled, "The clothes are already dry, it’s not a big deal, don’t worry about it."

Only then did Adelle get a good look at her appearance.

She was very good-looking, with exquisite features, especially her particularly beautiful eyes.

Though young, she carried herself with remarkable poise, like a successful individual.

"Thank you," Adelle expressed her gratitude.

The young woman replied, "You’re welcome." As she glanced around, she noticed Zhu Qianye next to Adelle.

She raised her eyebrows.

Isn’t she the one who just bought a soda?

Zhu Qianye made quite an impression by swearing while buying the soda.

Are they friends?

Becoming friends with someone who fusses over buying a bottle of soda, that girl is quite unlucky.

Zhu Qianye grabbed Adelle’s wrist and asked, "Adelle, why are you thanking her? What’s going on?" She had been fuming while buying the soda and hadn’t noticed someone overheard her, much less expected that person to be standing in front of her now.

Adelle explained the situation to Zhu Qianye.

Upon hearing it, Zhu Qianye nodded, "Oh, so that’s what happened."

Leaving the cinema, Adelle seemed to feel a bit better.

Back home.

Shangguan Xu had already returned and was cooking in the kitchen.

"What do you want to eat tonight?"

Shangguan Xu, wearing an apron, appeared in front of Adelle.

Just thinking about Shangguan Xu wearing an apron to cook for another woman in the future made Adelle’s heart ache, "Anything’s fine, I’ll eat whatever."

Shangguan Xu noticed she was not quite herself, "What’s wrong? Feeling unwell?"

Adelle was usually cheerful and rarely unhappy.

"No," Adelle shook her head, "Go cook, I’m going upstairs." After saying that, she turned and headed upstairs.

Watching Adelle’s back as she climbed the stairs, Shangguan Xu frowned slightly and took a cigarette from his pocket, lighting it.

What’s wrong with the young girl?

In a huff today?

Just then, the wireless phone on the table rang.

Shangguan Xu walked over to answer it, "Hello."

"Hello, is this Mister Shangguan? I’m Adelle’s good friend Zhu Qianye."

"Hello, is there something you need?"

Zhu Qianye continued, "Mister Shangguan, do you have time? There’s something I need to discuss with you about Adelle."

"What is it?"

Zhu Qianye said, "It’s not convenient to discuss over the phone, let’s talk face-to-face. By the way, have you noticed Adelle’s mood is quite off today?"

"Where shall we meet?"

Zhu Qianye smiled smugly over the phone, "Let’s meet at the Royal Cafe."

"Okay, see you in half an hour, is that alright?"

"Alright."

Half an hour later, Shangguan Xu appeared at the Royal Cafe as promised.

Seeing Shangguan Xu coming over, Zhu Qianye excitedly stood up and waved, "Mister Shangguan, over here."

Shangguan Xu strode over and sat across from Zhu Qianye.

Zhu Qianye handed the menu to Shangguan Xu, "I wonder what Mister Shangguan would like to drink?"

Shangguan Xu didn’t take the menu and turned to the waiter, "Just a glass of plain water, please."

"Alright, sir."

Only then did Shangguan Xu look at Zhu Qianye, "I’m curious what Miss Zhu wants to discuss with me?"

Zhu Qianye said, "Mister Shangguan, Adelle told me that you like her, right?"

Shangguan Xu was taken aback.

Zhu Qianye stirred her coffee, "Do you realize that your affection has caused her a lot of trouble?"

"What do you mean?"

Zhu Qianye continued, "Adelle told me that your affection is a source of great pressure for her. Last time when you were together, your overly intimate actions led others to mistakenly think you were a couple. Unfortunately, someone Adelle likes also witnessed it. Today, Adelle confessed to the boy she likes, but the boy said Adelle was fickle and promiscuous."

"Mister Shangguan, there are some things Adelle finds difficult to say directly to you, so she entrusted me to convey her message. I hope you will maintain proper boundaries in the future and not cause her unnecessary distress."
