Meng Xiaoxiao was Zhou Yao’s secret passion, hidden from everyone.

She believed Zhou Yao when he said the time wasn’t right to introduce her to his friends and family.

Only later, when she saw Zhou Yao whispering intimately with another girl in public, acting as if no one else were there, while all their mutual acquaintances smiled knowingly, did she realize she had been living in Zhou Yao’s lies all along.

One day after leaving Zhou Yao, she kept her new boyfriend company while he worked overtime. His coworkers started teasing him, telling him to buy them all dinner.

Meng Xiaoxiao went downstairs to the convenience store to buy snacks. When she came back, she handed them out to everyone. Her coworkers were envious of such a kind girlfriend, but her boyfriend looked worried and whispered in her ear, “Our boss has been staring at you for a while. Do you know him?”

Meng Xiaoxiao turned in surprise and saw Zhou Yao’s dark eyes through the glass wall of the office. She felt nothing at all.

She put her arms around her boyfriend’s waist and smiled brightly. “I don’t know him.”
