The Art of Pursuing: The Unyielding Ex-wife-Chapter 448: Will Certainly Return the Favor When the Time Comes

"Ah, so that’s how it is. Where are you? Do you need me to have Secretary Tang come to help you?"

"No need, after the tow truck comes I’ll just take a taxi back."

"Okay, be careful then."

After hanging up the phone, Munni did not leave the bathroom. Instead, she stood expressionlessly in front of the sink, staring at the reflection of herself in the mirror.

A trace of fatigue and bitterness unconsciously showed between her brows...

She found that she seemed to no longer believe Xu Yisen’s words on the phone. Was the car really broken down, or was he with Xia Yuge?

To prevent further spread of negative thoughts, Munni clenched her hands tightly, her nails digging into her palms, causing a slight pain that kept her mind clear.

Munni pulled herself together, slowly curled her lips into a gentle smile, and then calmly turned the doorknob, leaving the bathroom to entertain the guests.

She explained to everyone that Xu Yisen’s car had broken down on the road, and he might be delayed for a while.

Everyone understood and didn’t say much, continuing to entertain themselves while waiting.

As time passed, half an hour went by, but Xu Yisen still hadn’t returned, and then all the phones in the living room simultaneously buzzed.

When everyone took out their phones, they all displayed a text message from an unknown number, and the content of the message was exactly the same as the one Munni had received an hour ago.

In the photo, Xu Yisen and Xia Yuge seemed to be kissing.

After glancing at the message, a touch of awkwardness appeared on everyone’s face as they exchanged looks with each other, not knowing how to react for the moment.

Instead, it was Munni who reacted first. Her smile remained gentle and charming, showing none of the awkwardness or anger that might have been expected after seeing the photo.

On the contrary, her attitude was extremely calm and composed, "It seems that on such a special day, Yisen has someone else he wants to celebrate with, so we’ll just have to celebrate with him another day."

Her words carried a barely visible sarcasm, and everyone naturally picked up on the subtle hint to leave.

"Sis, should we wait a bit longer? Didn’t he say the car broke down? He should be here soon."

After the words fell, Munni slowly shook her head, "It’s getting late, everyone should go back first. When he comes back, we can celebrate together, just the two of us."

At this point, her impatience to send the guests away became more apparent, and it was hard for anyone to stay.

They all got up and, before leaving, didn’t forget to say a few words on behalf of Xu Yisen, "The service at the 4S shop isn’t very efficient at night, maybe the tow truck is just late."

"Yisen might already be on his way back, and soon you two can enjoy some quality time together."

"I hate when the car breaks down halfway. Last time, I had to wait two hours to get it sorted. The 4S shop’s efficiency is truly worsening; they should be called to complain."

How could Munni not understand the underlying meaning in their words? After seeing off each guest one by one, she finally released the forced smile on her face.

She sat weakly on the sofa, and her phone buzzed once more. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Xia Weifu sent her another message... [Rival, what do you think of the birthday gift I prepared for Xu Yisen?]

[Very good, as Yisen’s girlfriend, I ought to thank you on his behalf. A return gift will be in order.]

Just after sending the message, Munni’s phone began to buzz again with a call from an unfamiliar number.
