Shush & Marry Me

“Ah!”

“What’s the matter?” Michelle asked on the phone when she heard Victoria Tan screamed.

Victoria Tan turned around calmly and left the space for the man who was falling on the ground grinning. She asked, “Michelle, are you telling me that you’re hooking up with Jason Lee? Is that him you’re dating?”

Michelle said nervously, “Oh, no, no I can explain. I know Frank Lu is a serial cheater, but it doesn’t mean that I cannot date his roommate, right? Jason Lee is an ordinary guy, but he is safe. I think it’s okay for me to use him. Did he come back already?”

“Yes.” Victoria Tan listened to him putting on his clothes and replied.

“What did you do to him?”

“I just opened the door and saw him taking off his pants.” Victoria Tan replied. It’s been happening for two days. She either took off her clothes for physical examination or saw a man taking off his pants.

Michelle was shook, “Victoria, you better stay at the hotel! Don’t stay at my house. I have a housemate now. It’s not convenient for me to accommodate you. You better leave my Jason! Goodness, you actually scare him to death!”

“You’re the type of person who will throw away your friend for a man, Michelle Zhu.” Victoria Tan gritted her teeth and threw the key on the sofa. Jason Lee had already put on his clothes.

Seeing Victoria Tan, Jason Lee stammered, “Well, Victoria, you’re back to Jincheng, huh? I’ll stay at my friend’s house. You can stay with Michelle.”

Jason Lee and Frank Lu were roommates. He was always embarrassed to see Victoria Tan after they broke up. After all, Frank Lu was a jerk and Jason Lee still had to talk to Victoria Tan.

She suddenly understood. She was not in a hurry and asked, “I heard that you’re away on a business trip. Are you back early for his wedding?”
