The Untouchable Ex-Wife

Renee felt nervous when she turned around and spotted Leia. “Lei, when did you get here? Why didn’t you say something?”
“I’ve been here for a while. It looked like you both were having a good chat so I didn’t have the heart to interrupt.” Leia slowly
approached them, her tone indifferent and cold.
‘Darn!’ Renee knitted her eyebrows. She did not expect that Leia would overhear her conversation with Xavier.
As someone with high self-esteem, Lei must be very hurt!
“Don’t listen to his crap, Lei. He is just speaking casually. He is not such a person, he...” Renee anxiously tried to make excuses
for Xavier, but then realized that the man’s words were simply unforgivable.
“You don’t have to defend me, darling, I am that kind of person. It’s good for Lei to know this early so that she will give up on her
unrealistic fantasies.” Xavier put his hands in his pockets. The corners of his lips curved upwards and his gaze was carefree and
charming.
Leia looked at the man coldly and said disdainfully, “I admit that you are skillful in flirtation, Xavier, and I did have some moments
of confusion during the days we were on Sun Island, but the confusion I had is still far from admiration. I would never love a man
like you.”
Xavier shrugged carelessly. “I know. I am not an elite or brainy man. I am just a jerk who lives casually. I won’t ask for your love.”
“I don’t like you because I despise you. You are a coward deep down. You don’t even have the guts to face your heart. You are
the most cowardly man I have ever met, and you’re even more cowardly than my ex!”
“Coward?” Xavier rubbed his chin, as if she had poked his sore spot, and laughed. “How am I a coward? What is wrong with not
liking conflict?”
“Aren’t you a coward since you don’t even have the courage to face your own feelings?” Leia snarled,”I was wondering why I felt
you were sad though you looked happy. It’s the sorrow of unrequited love, isn’t it? I understand now...”
“Um, what do you understand?” He was confused for real this time. Did she really know his true feelings?
“You like Ren, your best friend’s girl.” Leia had figured out his true feelings this time and pitied him. “It’s a shame that you only
dare to love her secretly and do not dare to pursue her. This is why you use your playfulness to hide your true feelings, then stay

by Ren’s side as her best friend. You even deliberately flirt with me to use me as a cover-up because you are afraid that your
true feelings will be exposed!”
“Um... is that what you think?” His handsome face stiffened immediately. ‘Why is this girl not reacting the way a girl normally
would?’
Was she some kind of mind reader who could see into his heart?
Leia, on the other hand, continued to criticize him. “You’re such a coward! You’re old enough to stop having a crush on someone.
Ren is already single now anyway, so act like a man and pursue her openly!”
“Um, you are right. Darling is single now, so maybe I really can try to woo her. But the thing is, I am only good at talking, so I
don’t know where to start!” He frowned slightly, then sincerely asked Leia for advice. “You are her best friend, so you should
know her best. Why don’t you teach me how to do it?”
“Hmph, maybe there’s hope for you yet, since you asked the right person.” Leia looked angry at first, but when she heard that he
wanted to pursue her best friend, she suddenly got fired up. “It’s easy. First, you must be handsome...”
Renee stood beside them, totally dumbfounded. ‘Are these two alright? Why do I have to deal with this? Why are they openly
discussing how to pursue me?’
What’s more, they were very excited about it. It was like they were in their own world, and no one else was around.
