Chapter 154: Do You Have Any Misunderstanding?

Her lips parted to say something but before Su Ruan could say a word, Editor Ji had stood up. "Editor Fang, you're here."

Shifting her gaze to Ji Fan Yin, Su Ruan saw the woman stretch her hand to greet the person beside Shen Yue. It was only then that Su Ruan figured out that the two should have come over together.

"Editor Ji, hello," Editor Fang greeted as they shook their hands. She glanced at Shen Yue and continued, "This is my friend, Miss Shen Yue. If you don't mind, can she stay as well?"

"Of course," Editor Ji quickly agreed. "Hello, Miss Shen." She greeted Shen Yue before turning to Su Ruan again. "Editor Fang, Miss Shen, let me introduce… this is Miss Su Ruan, the writer that I have mentioned previously."

Su Ruan stood up and exchanged her greetings with them both.

"Su Ruan, I did not expect to see you here," Shen Yue spoke. "When did you return to Capital City?"

"Yesterday," Su Ruan said.

Instantly, Shen Yue's expression changed. She thought about Yu Zhi Yi who claimed to be running a few errands to buy something for their wedding preparation. However, the man returned with an empty hand despite going out for hours.

As the thought came to her mind, Shen Yue watched Su Ruan suspiciously.

Editor Fang turned to her friend. "Shen Yue, you know each other?"

"Mhm…" Shen Yue flashed a smile. "She's Yu Zhi Yi's friend that I have mentioned to you before."

Instantly, Editor Fang's expression changed.

Su Ruan did not know what did Shen Yue had said about her, but she could guess that it shouldn't be anything good. She could already foresee that this interview would not go as well as she had expected.

But for the sake of Editor Ji, she still has to stay.

The four of them sat together and they chatted. Editor Ji Yan Yin brought up the matter about her freelance writing job, but Editor Fang only spoke a little about it before she would change the subject.

After being quiet for a while, Su Ruan finally excused herself to go to the restroom. The air around them was too stifling!

Su Ruan washed her hand and stared back at her reflection in the mirror. She took a few deep breaths and readied herself to go out and made an excuse to leave.

However, as she walked out of the restroom, Su Ruan ran into Shen Yue on the narrow path. Looking at Shen Yue's eyes, Su Ruan could tell that Shen Yue has been waiting for her to come out.

After giving this matter a thought, Su Ruan walked over and spoke, "You have something to say to me?"

"Yesterday, did Zhi Yi pick you up from the airport?" Shen Yue asked.

Su Ruan was unaware of Yu Zhi Yi and Shen Yue's relationship and had thought that the two of them were a happy couple. After all, she could still remember Yu Zhi Yi's expression when he talked about his fiance.

"That's right." Su Ruan answered without delay.

However, hearing Su Ruan's nonchalant answer, Shen Yue had thought that Su Ruan was showing up. Her anger boiled, at the thought that Su Ruan was trying to seduce her fiance. Yu Zhi Yi even dared to lie for Su Ruan's sake!

"Miss Su, I knew that you came to Capital City to attend my and Zhi Yi's wedding. However, I would appreciate it if you could stop contacting my fiance after the wedding."

"What?" Su Ruan was dumbfounded.

"Actually, I didn't want you to come to our wedding at all. But considering that you are his best friend, I guess I could not stop you from coming."

Her relationship with Yu Zhi Yi was a little shaky at this moment. If Yu Zhi Yi knew that she had stopped Su Ruan from showing up at their wedding, the man would definitely fight her.

What if Yu Zhi Yi decided to break up with her for the sake of his best friend?

That was not what she want.

Moreover, it would be best if Su Ruan attended their wedding and watch Yu Zhi Yi marry. Perhaps then, Su Ruan would stop being around Yu Zhi Yi.

"Miss Shen, I have told you before. My relationship with Yu Zhi Yi was not like that," Su Ruan said. "The person that he loves is you. Besides, I already am in a relationship."

Shen Yue narrowed her eyes as if she did not believe in Su Ruan's words. "Since you have said it like that, then, it shouldn't be hard for you not to show up around him after we got married, right?" The corner of her lips tilted into a sneer. Then, Shen Yue turned around and headed back to the table.

Su Ruan tightened her hands into fists as she watched Shen Yue turn around and leave.

An indescribable sadness surrounded her. She couldn't help but felt wronged.

Although she had explained things over and over again, Shen Yue did not believe her. Were her feelings towards Yu Zhi Yi that transparent?

However, Su Ruan really did not have any intention to disturb Yu Zhi Yi's relationship. If he was happy, then, she would be happy as well. This was what she had decided long ago.

Su Ruan headed back to the table and found that both Shen Yue and Editor Fang had left. At the table, only Editor Ji Fan Yin was waiting for her.

Hearing her footsteps, Ji Fan Yin looked up with a worried look on her face. "Su Ruan, what happened? Do you have any misunderstanding with Editor Fang?"

Ji Fan Yin was not blind. She could see that Editor Fang did not like Su Ruan. Seeing the way Editor Fang has been ignoring Su Ruan earlier was enough. The situation was awkward. However, both sides were her friends and she did not want to take sides without knowing the situation.

Ji Fan Yin was regretting her decision to introduce Su Ruan to her friend. If she was not insistent to introduce Su Ruan to her friend, this situation would not happen.

"It was not Editor Fang. It was her friend, Miss Shen," Su Ruan said. "Her fiance is my best friend. However, she seemed to misunderstand our relationship and thought that I liked him more than friends. But it really wasn't like that."

Ji Fan Yin was surprised to hear this. She did not expect Editor Fang to treat Su Ruan coldly because of her friend. Even though she wanted to help her friend, this… she was not professional at all. They came here to discuss work!

Su Ruan's phone on the table buzzed, breaking the silence.

"That's right. Your phone has been ringing since a few minutes ago." Ji Fan Yin pointed out.

Su Ruan picked up her phone and stared at the caller ID with a dazed look on her face.
