"En Yun, stop speaking ill of Ye Hao! He is sincere towards me."
My best friend Xu Zhen's indignant voice rang in my ears.
I didn't react immediately, showing no expression.
She became more agitated, raising her voice and repeating, "Did you hear me? Ye Hao is not a fraud, he is sincere towards me."
Her voice pierced through my eardrums, feeling so real, I realized I had been reborn.
I found myself back on the day I exposed Ye Hao's true colors to her.
Thinking of the agony of my tragic death in my past life, I froze, my body trembling, and managed to force a smile, saying, "You're right, I see it too. I was just joking earlier, don't take it seriously."
After hearing me say that, Xu Zhen smiled contentedly, took a sip of coffee, and gazed out of the floor-to-ceiling window.
Outside the window was a river, and we were in the city's most luxurious revolving restaurant, having afternoon tea.
Both she and I were wealthy women.
Equally rich, equally beautiful, equally enjoying life.
The only difference was that her husband had passed away, and she had no children.
My husband, on the other hand, was still by my side, and we had a daughter.
In my previous life, I pitied her loneliness, so I accompanied her on trips to relax.
During a trip to Thailand, we met Ye Hao who was traveling with us.
Throughout the journey, he took great care of us, carrying our luggage, serving tea and water without hesitation.
He was particularly attentive to Xu Zhen.
He was very young, with a sunny and handsome appearance, he said he was only 28 years old.
Watching this sunshine boy 12 years younger than us, he quickly captured Xu Zhen's heart.
So, on the third morning, when I saw Xu Zhen coming out of Ye Hao's room, I was only slightly surprised.
I didn't pay much attention, thinking Xu Zhen was still young, she was free to do as she pleased, finding a male companion was not a big deal.
After we returned home, we were busy and didn't meet for some time.
When we met again, it was at a party organized by a social circle.
I was surprised to see Xu Zhen had brought Ye Hao along.
I quickly pulled Xu Zhen aside and asked her what was going on.
She happily told me, "Ye Hao is also single, he treats me well, and he suits my taste."
I rolled my eyes instantly, speechless.
I advised her, "I know you're lonely and bored, but you're so wealthy, I'm afraid you might get into trouble. Just treat this young man as a passing fancy, why bring him home?"
Xu Zhen looked disdainful and replied, "He's not like those flashy women outside."
Seeing her so infatuated with Ye Hao, I advised her again, "Really, I'm worried you might be in danger."
"En Yun, you have your husband by your side, can't I have a man? Do you want me to envy you forever?" Xu Zhen said, her eyes turning red.
I felt uncomfortable and didn't say anything more.
When we returned to our seats, Ye Hao quickly stood up, courteously pulled out a chair for Xu Zhen, helped her sit down, and gently said, "Take your time."
After Ye Hao sat down, he looked at Xu Zhen with adoration, and Xu Zhen's smile was about to overflow.
I couldn't help but stare.
With such an approach, it's no wonder Xu Zhen was captivated.
Indeed, he understood a woman's heart better than the male models in nightclubs.
But the more so, the more dangerous, isn't it?
