“What is this?”


    Stefan picked up the Louboutin in confusion, only to realize that it was lipstick after a long, careful


    inspection.


    With her arms crossed, Renee annoyedly said to the man behind her, “Stop pretending. I found this on


    the ne. Don’t tell me you’ve never seen this before.”


    “But I’ve really never seen this. I thought this is a lighter… hmm, is this really not a lighter?”


    Stefan knitted his eyebrows and focused on looking for the valve, and ended up smearing lipstick all


    over his palms. What a stupid man who was so totally ignorant of women’s stuff.


    Renee rolled her eyes, speechless.


    Regardless, the man did not seem to be faking his reaction.


    “Oh, I remember now…”


    His face tensed, and he said irritably, “It must be Xavier. He must have brought someone on the ne


    and did not clean up afterward!”


    “Xavier?”

    Renee doubted. “Didn’t he break up recently? It’s not nice to me this on him, don’t you think?”


    “That’s not a breakup. That’s breaking free. I wouldn’t have lent him the ne for celebration,


    otherwise” He snorted and said resentfully, “If he listened to me and broke up earlier, he would not


    have suffered. His rtionship with that girlfriend is simply poisonous!”


    Renee was fired up when she heard this gossip and asked, “What exactly happened? Tell me more


    about it.”


    Stefan was amused. He cupped the woman’s tear-stained face and gazed at her lovingly. “Why are you


    so curious about it? Have youpletely resolved your own matters?”


    “Um… about that… My matters are not important, but Xavier is my lifesaver, my best friend. Hurry up


    and tell me what happened between him and his girlfriend. What makes you say their rtionship is


    toxic?”


    “She deceived his feelings. That’s about it.” He shook his head and let out a long sigh. “Xavier is


    comparable to a master of romance, and he always says that he will never fall into the trap of love, but


    he somehow falls into hers. He tasted a lot of the bitterness of love in these four years. I am very happy


    that hees to his senses now.”


    “Is this what you should do as his good friend? Why are you so happy when he broke up?”


    Though she said so, she recalled thest time she met Xavier. He did seem a lot more depressed and


    lost his carefreeness four years back. He looked really different from his old casual self.


    Love was indeed the destructor of one’s soul if one made the wrong choice!


    “To me, love is not suffering, but not meeting the right person is. Take Leia, for instance, my best friend.


    She also met a jerk a while ago…”


    Something came to her mind suddenly, and she said, “Hey, do you think there will be a spark between


    Xavier and Leia?”


    One was adykiller, and one was a woman who sealed her heart and stopped loving. Would there be


    chemistry between these two if they were put together?


    “You can try.”


    He smiled expectantly. “Leia, as you said, is not a simple woman. Maybe she really can tame that wild


    horse.”


    “It’s settled then!”


    She snapped her fingers and said eagerly, “I will call her toe here for a vacation now, and you will


    do the same to Xavier.”


    The two acted as Cupids once they were on the same page.


    Coincidentally, Xavier and Leia happened to be on vacation in a nearby ind country. They rushed


    over without a second thought when receiving the invitation.


    The sea breeze blew through Renee’s long hair and the hem of her white dress. Holding her heels in


    one hand, her feet were stepping on the soft sand on the beach, leaving a trail of uneven footprints.


    The golden sunbeam set off her beauty as it showered over her slender body.
