The Wife of Hades

"Luxia, don't be so absurd? Are you scared that after I have a girlfriend, I won't love you as much?" An Yuchen waited for a response but this only made An Luxia more angry as she did not want to talk to him.

An Yuchen mistook this as a yes, "You don't have to worry about it! Even if I do have a girlfriend, I will certainly still treat you the same!"

An Luxia reached her hand out as a yellow taxi stopped in front of the sidewalk. An Luxia pulled up the door and turned around, glaring at An Yuchen, "I don't care whether you have a girlfriend or not, and I am fine with you having a girlfriend, but it can't be her."

Then, she entered the car and told the driver the address quickly as they drove off. An Yuchen watched the car leave and he lifted one hand up, pinching the skin between his eyebrows. 

"Yuchen," he suddenly heard a soft and light voice sing. Hu Yiyi stepped out of the house and walked over to An Yuchen, grabbing onto his elbow, "Is there a problem?"

An Yuchen shook his head, sighing.

However, Hu Yiyi could already tell what it was. She took a deep breath and grabbed on tightly to An Yuchen's arm, "I don't know why she doesn't like me either? Maybe. . . I don't know. . ."

She looked down pitifully, and An Yuchen placed his hand over her hand, "Don't worry too much about it. I'm sure she will figure it out soon enough."

  He looked up, "Maybe. . . Maybe she is just too shocked by the news."

  Hu Yiyi's eyelashes fluttered as she did not say anything and looked down at her shoes, narrowing her eyes. Why did that little fox have such a strong dislike towards her?!

  Hu Yiyi did not have any memory of ever coming across An Luxia. . . So what was wrong with her?

---

When An Luxia returned home, she saw that Yu Xinyi's car was outside of the house. She knew that Yu Xinyi would not be able to hold her curiosity, but as of now, An Luxia did not want to tell Yu Xinyi at all who her brother's girlfriend was.

When she entered the house, Yu Xinyi immediately showed up, trying to hide her curiosity, "You're back," she said simply.

An Luxia nodded gravely as she walked over to the living room and plopped down onto the couch, closing her eyes as she took a deep breath.

"What's wrong? Is it something to do with. . ." Yu Xinyi's voice died off.

An Luxia nodded, opening her eyes as she sighed, "You will never guess who my brother's girlfriend is."

Yu Xinyi had a bad feeling upon hearing An Luxia say this, and she gulped, "Who is it?"

An Luxia sat up on the couch, pouring herself a large cup of tea and drinking it all in one gulp before starting, "Do you remember that one time when we were in middle school, I think it was 7th grade. We went to the back of the school to search for a bird's nest and heard that weird noise."

Yu Xinyi thought about it, unable to recall the memory at first since it was too long ago. 

An Luxia continued, "And then we saw that boy and that girl. . . Do you remember?"

  After a moment of silence, Yu Xinyi's eyes widened as she clapped her hands together, "Oh! Yes, I remember that now." 

Then, she scrunched her face up in disgust at that memory since she also knew what the couple were doing back there now after growing up and learning some. . . new things.

"What about. . ." Yu Xinyi was just about to ask what the story had anything to do with An Yuchen's girlfriend when at once, her face paled, "No way. . ."

  Knowing that Yu Xinyi had guessed it, An Luxia could only nod.

"No way. . . His girlfriend cannot be that girl -"

"It is that girl," An Luxia said as she slouched back down onto the couch.

There was a long pause of silence and then suddenly, Yu Xinyi jumped up from the couch, her fists tightly clenched together, "There is no way we can let brother Yuchen date a girl like her! Just from looking at her do. . . do that kind of thing before she was even 18. Oh my! I am certain she is not some good girl!"

"I know, but what can we do? I'm trying to come up with something," An Luxia closed her eyes helplessly. 

"Are you a hundred percent sure it is that girl?" Yu Xinyi asked again, not willing to believe the horrific truth, "Why don't you ask your brother if his girlfriend went to the same high school? Then we will know for sure!"

An Luxia was certain, but she still sent her brother a quick text, asking him and within a few seconds, An Yuchen replied with the expected, but also not expected, answer.

"Yes, it is definitely her," An Luxia said, showing Yu Xinyi the text. Upon seeing the text, Yu Xinyi's face darkened as she sighed.

"I -" Yu Xinyi was about to continue to talk when Mo Han walked into the room. Seeing him, An Luxia let out a very loud breath and jumped up from the couch, running straight into his chest, "My little Hanhan!"

Mo Han was quite surprised by her reaction, and he looked down at her a little confusedly before grabbing onto her waist and carrying her over back to the couch. Yu Xinyi pursed her lips out upon seeing this sight.

"Can you two be all lovey dovey somewhere else? Did you forget that I am still recovering from a heartbreak, you cruel people!" Yu Xinyi slouched down onto the couch, glancing at the couple next to her and then looking away.

An Luxia let go of Mo Han and ignored her friend as she told Mo Han everything that had happened. After her dramatic story, Mo Han merely shrugged and said something the King of the Underworld would probably say:

  "Easy, don't stress. I'll just go and have someone kill that girl and the problem will be solved!"

". . ." An Luxia pressed her lips together into a thin line, not sure of how to respond, "Never mind, forget that I ever asked you anything."

She then turned to Yu Xinyi again, muttering the word 'scary' under her breath, "Why don't you go home? I'm hungry anyway. I'll call you if I think of anything."

Yu Xinyi sighed, not sure of what to do either so she stood up and went home.

Afterwards, An Luxia and Mo Han went to go eat an early dinner because An Luxia did not eat well at the An house and Mo Han did not eat at all.

During lunch, An Luxia still noticed how something was wrong with Mo Han, and she tried several times to get him to tell her, but for some reason, he just wouldn't tell her anything!

  In the end, An Luxia angrily left the dining room and marched into the room, naturally angry that Mo Han did not trust her with whatever issues he had.

She entered the room and pulled her computer out to write her book, but her mind was caught up in a million different things. School work, Mo Han's weird behavior, her brother, Hu Yiyi. . .

She could not write a single word as she stared at the blank page, her eyebrows tightly knit together. Finally, she scrolled back and began reading her previous chapter.

Although the novel had been doing very well, she was writing quickly and the story line was catching up to her own life, which was the inspiration for the novel. The drama had made up its own ending apart from the story to be able to finish filming, and An Luxia was planning to end her novel as well, straying away from her own life.

She had been recently brainstorming and coming up with ideas for a new novel, and as she moved to her new novel and read the complicated ideas, she. . . She still couldn't think of anything!

  An Luxia slammed the computer shut annoyedly, annoyed at herself, Mo Han, her brother, Hu Yiyi, and everything! She jumped onto the bed, trying to use all of her past face-slapping writing experience to come up with a plan to get rid of Hu Yiyi, but nothing seemed to work!

  In the end, Mo Han's words reappeared in her head. She was just about to push them aside and think that she could definitely not do that, when another idea sprouted out of Mo Han's words.

An Luxia raised one eyebrow as she slowly lifted her head up from the bed, letting the silence in the room sink in. Why was she thinking so hard?

Wasn't it very easy?! Why did she need such a complicated plan?

A tiny smile appeared on An Luxia's face as she sat up on the bed, reaching for her phone to call Yu Xinyi.
