With things having reached this point, it wouldn’t be appropriate for Wu Jia to stay any longer. Angrily glaring at Xia Xin, Wu Jia suddenly remembered something, triumphantly packed her things, and before leaving, she said to Xia Xin, “Don’t worry, we’ll meet again soon, and I won’t be as easy going as today.”

After saying that, Wu Jia prepared to leave with all her belongings. But Xia Xin stopped her, saying, “Wait.”

Wu Jia coldly asked, “What now? Do you want me to go back in? I’m not in the mood for chit-chat.’

Xia Xin said, “You’ve misunderstood me. I just want you to return the bracelet you’re wearing; it belongs to me.”

Wu Jia paused, anger evident on her face, and she took off the bracelet, seemingly intending to throw it on the floor.

Zhao Nan stopped Wu Jia, saying, “There’s a jade bead on this bracelet, and if you break it, it will be expensive to replace. Moreover, its value is enough to get you into trouble with the police. Think carefully before you toss it.”

Wu Jia choked up and obediently walked inside to place the bracelet on the coffee table. She then left, wearing a sour expression.

After Wu Jia had left, Xia Xin and Zhao Nan high-fived each other. Zhao Nan couldn’t help but praise, “Impressive, Xia Xin. You’ve grown up; you know how to assert your rights now.”

Xia Xin heaved a sigh of relief and sank into the couch. She said, “Finally got rid of that jinx. You have no idea how exhausted I was every day. I’d feel so overwhelmed when I saw her messing up the place like this every evening!”

Looking around at the chaotic apartment, Zhao Nan said, “Alright, today I’ll work for you as a free laborer. I’ll help you tidy up the place.”

Xia Xin waved her hand and said, “No need. I have plans to go out this afternoon. I’ll call a cleaning service.”

“What do you have going on?” Zhao Nan asked.

So, Xia Xin mentioned that she had plans with Jing Mo.

Curious, Zhao Nan leaned in closer and asked, “Come on, tell me honestly, what’s your relationship with Jing MO now?”

Xia Xin lightly tapped Zhao Nan’s forehead and said, “Don’t make wild guesses. We don’t have any special relationship.”

Then, Xia Xin briefly recounted how she had met Jing MO and added with nostalgia, “It’s such a small world. I used to stick with him all the time when I was a kid, and now he’s become a big star.”

Zhao Nan patted her chest and said, “Alright, you can relax and go on your date. Leave the house to me. You’ve hired a cleaning service, and I’ll keep an eye on things here.”

Xia Xin and Zhao Nan each held a throw pillow, sitting on the couch, lost in their own thoughts. After a few minutes, Zhao Nan suddenly said, “Xin Xin, how about I move in with you?”

Xia Xin sat up straight, looking at Zhao Nan, and asked, “You refused to move in before, and now you suddenly want to? What’s changed?”

Zhao Nan explained, “Before, I was in a relationship with that scumbag, but now that I’m single, I can decide to move in freely. Plus, if I live with you, we can split the rent, and it’ll save me half of my living expenses.”

Happily pulling Zhao Nan closer, Xia Xin said, “As long as you’re coming to live here, you don’t have to pay rent. I can afford it now. You coming here to keep me company makes me the happiest. I’ll arrange for a moving company to help you relocate this afternoon.”

Zhao Nan, after observing Xia Xin closely for a while, made her feel a bit uneasy.

Xia Xin asked, “What are you looking at?”

Zhao Nan said, “I’m trying to figure out if you’re really Xia Xin. You’ve changed so much from before. You’ve become so decisive and efficient, doing things as soon as you decide to.”

Xia Xin rolled her eyes at Zhao Nan and then went to prepare for her afternoon outing.

At 2 0’clock in the afternoon, Xia Xin arrived promptly at the entrance of the cat café.

Jing MO was dressed in a loose, pure white short-sleeved T-shirt and baggy jeans, wearing a dark-colored duckbill cap and a mask. Standing at 1.8 meters tall, he was undeniably eye-catching.

Someone whispered, “Don’t you find that person familiar? He looks like Jing

Xia Xin worried that Jing MO might be recognized, causing rumors, quickly passed by him under his gaze and slipped into the cat café.

Jing MO didn’t quite understand Xia Xin’s actions but followed her into the café. After they entered, Xia Xin realized that they were the only two people in the entire place.

After Jing MO communicated with the staff, they were led to a more secluded area inside the café..
