BXBX NOVEL Chapter 286 - What Is Aria Upto?
"Does he know her?" Zhenyi asked him with wide eyes. Okay. She could handle Sam's romance but Ryuu's?
"What do you think?" Sam raised a brow.
"That snake…" Zhenyi tried to say.
"Her doing," Sam said with a defeated sigh. "Not only this, she was the one behind Ming Xiuying and Huo Yusheng's failed engagement. The boy was lusting after her cousin and so, Xixi might have added something in their drinks…"
"Goodness, does this girl know that instead of eliminating Xiuying, she invited him into Ryuu's life?" Zhenyi felt like the girl was crazy. Well, what she did was indeed crazy.
"Oh, I asked him the same question, and do you know how she replied to me? She said,' 'I'm giving him the reason to leave because I want him to give me a reason to stay ' or something like this. And I have nothing to say back to her. Ryuu married Xiuying and she went to God knows where!"
"Thank God, Ryuu is married to Xiuying, otherwise I don't want to see my two brothers fighting over the same girl," Zhenyi said to him.
Sam looked offended by her remark. "Who said anything about fighting over her? I like her but it has nothing to do with her or Ryuu!"
"You are crazy, Sam Qin!"
Sam sulked feigning sobs, "I only liked two girls genuinely in my life. I really thought that you both were the coolest women in the world apart from my mom obviously. But both of you hurt me by choosing the world's biggest jerks over me."
"Stop calling my husband a jerk, you jerk."Zhenyi glared at him.
"Oh, I'm sorry I forgot that love is blind and women in love are even more blind," Sam said with a serious expression.
"Shut up. My husband is not the world's biggest jerk."
"Oh, you're right, my dear best friend because that spot is gloriously occupied by your brother."

On the other side.
Fan Bingbing was pacing back and forth in the room anxiously. She was checking the time on her watch frequently. If she had what Aria was up to she would have done something to knock some senses into her apparently empty head.
The knock on the door was heard and Fan Bingbing collected her wits to deal with this new problem.
"Miss Fan, the information you asked for is inside the file, " The man said and left with a bow.
Fan Bingbing nodded. She opened the file and prayed to heaven to be proven wrong this time.
But only if her prayers would be heard….
'Great Aria! Now, who's going to clean your mess? I do not want to tell Zhenyi. But if I hid this matter from her, she is certainly going to shoot me. Moreover, who's going to save you from Aunt Jia.'
She pondered about who to call first? Because there was no way Zhenyi would be picking up her calls. After racking up her brain, she decided to call Long Jie.
He picked on the third ring.
"Miss Fan?"
"I can't connect to Zhenyi. Can you please pass her the phone?" Fan Bingbing asked. "It's urgent…"
"Well, you have to call her best friend. She is with him currently," Long Jie told her. "Everything is alright?"
"I wish I could say everything is alright," Fan Bingbing said. "However... Are you sure Zhenyi is with Sam? I mean when did he come back?"
"I only know my wife is with Sam Qin," Long Jie said. "Also Miss Fan, if you need any assistance, please tell me."
A thought came into her mind as she said, "Mr. Long, your help is very much needed and appreciated. I need to get some information and the other party is quite wary of our men. One more thing, this matter is very confidential and can you--"
"Don't worry, I will look into it myself," Long Jie assured her. "And if it doesn't require Zhenyi's urgently, then can you please not… I know I'm overstepping my boundaries but she is very disturbed right now."
"I'm sorry," Fan Bingbing said. There was nothing she could do. Zhenyi needed to deal with this as soon as possible.
"It's alright," Long Jie said. "I will send you the information as soon as possible. It won't be a problem for me."
With this said, Long Jie hung up the call. Fan Bingbing sat on the chair and sighed.

On Sam and Zhenyi's side.
"What on this great earth are we doing in a mall?" Zhenyi asked Sam as they took the elevator. Sam had his sunglasses on and was giving different poses to girls who wanted to click his pictures. They all thought that he was much better looking than the celebrities.
Zhenyi shot a glare at these so-called fangirls and they immediately hid their phones.
"What a killjoy you're, Zhenyi!" Sam couldn't help but grumble.
"Shut up," Zhenyi stomped on his feet. Unfortunately, she didn't get the desired effect as she wasn't wearing her beloved heels. " Again, what are we doing in a mall?"
Sam rolled his eyes. "Of course, shopping. When was the last time you came to a mall?"
Zhenyi blinked at him as if remembering when was the last time…
"Never, " Sam said to her. "You have never shopped before. Neither have you ever stepped inside a Mall."
"That's because I'm a kind hearted woman, "Zhenyi replied. " If I started shopping, wouldn't my team of stylists be jobless?"
"I don't even know why I always argue with you," Sam muttered under his breath.
"Because you love trying your luck. Hoping one day you will win the argument."
Both of them stepped inside a high-end store. Zhenyi's eyes languidly ran over racks of clothes and nothing caught her eyes until...
As she felt a hand on her shoulder, she looked up to see Sam gawking at the person standing at a distance.
"Is it the infamous scene where the heroine meets her love rival and both like the same dress? The villainess aka love rival will insult the heroine and then the hero will come in a dashing style and save his damsel in distress?" Sam spoke the whole sentence in a single breath. He paused and zoomed his eyes on Chen Yuling's face and said again, "Is it the same scene, Zhenyi? If it's, I need to record it for ma. You know that
she lives for drama and entertainment."
