Chapter 381: Side Story 1: If We've Broken Up, Then We Should Act That Way

The September weather in the Imperial Capital was like a steamer, hot and stuffy.

A young girl was standing on the street, not even holding an umbrella under the hot sun. Her face was snow-white, and her fingers were long and slender, her overall appearance beautiful. She was nibbling an ice cream cone.

After eating the last of the crispy biscuit, she wiped her hands with a napkin, walking towards a trash can and throwing it away.

Just as she was doing so, a royal blue sports car stopped beside her with a 'woosh'.

Shoving both hands in her pockets, Tan Yongsi stood in the place she was at, her eyes fixed on the vehicle quietly.

The car of the sports car opened, and a tall woman dressed in red stepped down. She took off the sunglasses on her face, her high heels clicking against the pavement as she walked. She came to a stop in front of Tan Yongsi, a condescending look on her face as her posture screamed arrogance. Her upturned eyes swept Tan Yongsi from head to toe, before contempt flashed through them.

"You're Tan Yongsi?" The woman's nails which were painted with nail polish reflected under the sunlight, a mocking smile curling on her lips. "This is an invitation to my and Yan Han's engagement. I hope that Miss Tan... you'll be able to attend."

Tan Yongsi looked at the girl in front of her whose delicate features were painted on with makeup "Miss Wen, are you sure you want to invite me?"

Wen Qing resisted the urge to smile wider. "Of course, how could the engagement between me and Yan Han lack your blessing?"

"Oh, then, I give you my blessing." Tan Yongsi raised an eyebrow.

"Tan Yongsi, you better understand the difference and gap between me and you. Don't chase after someone who you shouldn't chase after." Wen Qing took out the red envelope, giving Tan Yongsi a glare. "Yan Han is the only heir to the Yan family. You should be well aware of the Yan family's status in the capital nowadays. Yan Han is just fooling around. With your position, Aunt Yan will not let you take even half a step towards the Yan family."

Tan Yongsi snatched the envelope from Wen Qing's hand, impatience getting to her when she heard the other girl's words. "Fine, the venue for the engagement? I'll be there. Miss Wen, I'd like to point out that driving in heels can easily cause an accident."

Wen Qing paused in her steps, also losing her footing. She turned her head, giving her a vicious glare. Initially she had been planning to see Tan Yongsi's dejected face when she handed over the invitation, but she didn't expect to be the one to get angry!

Seriously!

The sun shining in the sky was just too glaring as Tan Yongsi looked at the red envelope in her hands with a cold look in her eyes.

Her phone chose to ring at this moment, letting out a melodious tone.

"Xuan Xuan, are you missing your queen?" Tan Yongsi's expression eased, her tone relaxed as she picked up the call. Ye Xuan, the person on the other end, was her roommate and best friend. They had been friends since junior high school till the present.

"Miss your freaking ghost head!" A roar came from the other side. "What the heck is happening? Why is the entire department making a fuss, asking you to break up with Master Yan the moment I come back?!"

"Yeah, that's right."

"Mother f*cking! sh*t!" Ye Xuan roared again. "You both are basically the epitome of lovers, how is it possible for you two to break up?"
