My Wife Always Thinks She's Right - Chapter 1

Sun Heng sat in the coffee shop, lost in thought as she looked at the young girl sitting across from her. The girl looked young and pretty, but her attire was completely out of place.

The situation was as follows: Sun Heng was twenty-seven years old. After leaving her hometown to work, she had focused solely on making money. Once she had achieved financial freedom, she began to consider her personal life. She had known since she was young that she liked women. Fortunately, social attitudes had become quite open, and same-sex relationships were no longer viewed with discrimination, so Sun Heng decided it was time to find a partner.

However, Sun Heng was incredibly picky when it came to dating. She had high standards: she refused anyone who was unattractive, too short, overweight, or dim-witted. After filtering through many candidates, she finally found a target. The other party was twenty-six, a master’s degree graduate in law from Fudan University, and had just started working at a top-tier law firm. Sun Heng had seen photos of her—intelligent, beautiful, and sophisticated—and she was so smitten that she immediately decided this woman was her soulmate.

But now, Sun Heng could not fathom why a little brat wearing her mother’s clothes and high heels was sitting in front of her, claiming to be her online dating partner.

Sun Heng felt a headache coming on.

“Little sister,” Sun Heng said, leaning back against the sofa and gently swirling her espresso. “You look quite different from your photos online.”

The girl was nervous, but her eyes were bright. She stared straight at Sun Heng and said, “I am twenty-six years old.”

Twenty-six? She looks about sixteen!

Sun Heng’s headache worsened. She put down her coffee and looked at the girl’s undeveloped face. “How did you get here?”

“I drove,” the girl said, puffing out her small chest.

“What kind of car did you drive?”

“Um, a green car.”

Sun Heng uttered an “oh”—so it was a taxi.

“Driving must be tiring.”

“It is okay. I just sat there, though there was a bit of traffic.”

“I know that traffic jam. I used to get stuck in it every day when I worked. I have no idea why there are so many people.”

Sun Heng rolled her eyes and suddenly changed the subject. “By the way, don’t you have homework on the weekends?”

The girl replied, “I do… wait, what?”

Sun Heng’s face turned cold. She stood up abruptly and slammed her hand on the table. “Exactly what grade are you in this year?”

The child’s eyes instantly reddened. Knowing she had been caught, she began to cry, nervously clutching her pink skirt as she explained, “I didn’t mean to lie to you. I just wanted to date you.”

Please, just be quiet, will you!

Sun Heng’s expression remained grim. She glared at the girl and asked, “Cut the nonsense. Tell me your real age. Don’t make me call the police. You can go to jail for lying, you know.”

The girl was clearly immature; she could not handle Sun Heng’s harsh tone and began to sob, telling the whole truth. “I am a sophomore at City No. 1 High School. I am seventeen this year. I just saw you were looking for a girlfriend, and you were so pretty, so I wanted to.”

“So you wanted to take advantage of me, is that it?”

Sun Heng’s head throbbed. She tapped the table to make the girl look up and softened her tone slightly. “What is your name? I assume that is fake, too?”

She had actually thought the name Shen Mu Ran sounded so poetic and evocative. Who would have thought it was just a name made up by a seventeen-year-old child?

“My name is Su Nian.”

Su Nian’s nose was red from crying. Sun Heng looked at her with disdain and handed her a tissue. “Blow your nose. It is hideous.”

Su Nian cried even harder.

Sun Heng disliked comforting children. She had hated kids since she was little, especially crying ones, but with everyone in the coffee shop watching her, she had no choice but to soften her tone further. “Alright, stop crying. I didn’t do anything, did I? Could I have been this harsh if you hadn’t lied to me?”

The child whimpered, “But sister, I really like you.”

Sun Heng felt not only a headache but a sharp pain in her chest. Although Su Nian was quite pretty and would undoubtedly grow into a stunning girl, she was just too young. Ten whole years too young! If she were actually to be with her, it wouldn’t just be a crime; she would have to attend the girl’s parent-teacher meetings. Most importantly, if the girl’s family found out, they might just break her legs.

Sun Heng just wanted to find someone her own age to talk to, have a proper relationship, and spend the rest of her life together. But this girl was only in her second year of high school. She hadn’t even started her final year; if she fell in love with Sun Heng now and it ruined her chances of getting into university, not only would her parents come after her, but Sun Heng would despise herself as well.

“Little sister,” Sun Heng said helplessly. “First of all, I appreciate that you like me, but I am not short of admirers. I just want to find someone who likes me back and shares common interests so we can have a stable relationship, not play house with you.”

Su Nian’s eyes were red as she said, “I am not.”

“Alright, that is enough. Don’t struggle with this,” Sun Heng said, reaching out to gently brush the girl’s cheek with her thumb. Her tone was gentle. “You are too young to date. You need to focus on your studies. You will regret it for the rest of your life if you don’t get into university.”

Su Nian looked at her with glistening, bright black eyes and whispered, “I have very good grades. Even if I date, I definitely won’t let it affect my studies.”

Sun Heng said, “I can see that. You look very well-behaved, and City No. 1 is the best school, so your grades must be good. That is exactly why I cannot date you, understand?”

Su Nian stared blankly at Sun Heng, thinking for a long time before nodding, though she persisted, “Then sister, can you wait for me to graduate high school before you date me?”

Sun Heng: “…”

Such a stubborn girl. She was actually starting to feel moved.

Sun Heng pulled her hand back and licked her lips. “Stop drinking. Let me take you home.”

Su Nian got into Sun Heng’s car. She looked curiously at the spacious business vehicle and said happily, “Sister, your car is so pretty. It is even nicer than my sister’s car.”

Sun Heng reached over to fasten the girl’s seatbelt.

“Sister, should we go get something to eat? There is a curry rice place near our school that is delicious. I can treat you with my allowance.”

“Sister, do you like milk tea? Do you prefer fruit tea or milk tea? Do you want sugar?”

“Sister, the road that way leads to a small park. My class went on an outing there last week!”

“Sister, look, there is a puppy by the roadside. Its legs are so short, and it has no tail. Wow, it is so cute!”

“Sister, sister, look.”

Sun Heng: “…” Her grip on the steering wheel tightened.

The child lived in an upscale residential area in the city’s second ring. Sun Heng raised an eyebrow as soon as she saw the address, knowing it was where the wealthy lived. She did not enter the complex but watched the girl get out of the car. “Go home, take off those old-fashioned clothes, and stop lying to people, you hear me?”

The child’s mood shifted quickly. Ten minutes ago, she had been crying, but now she stood in the sunlight, smiling brightly. “Thank you for driving me home, sister. But I still like you. Can we meet again?”

This time, Sun Heng did not even respond. She slammed the door shut and sped away.

Why are children these days like this? Sun Heng could not fathom it while stuck in traffic on the third ring road.

Originally, Sun Heng had not taken the matter seriously, thinking she had just been toyed with by a pretty child. She scolded the girl and sent her home, which could be considered a form of public service, right?

However, the next day, she received another message from the girl. This time, Su Nian did not pretend at all. Before, she had tried to act mature and sophisticated, often using pretentious literary terms, but now, even her stickers had been replaced by cute cartoon kittens. She was sending meow-meow messages until Sun Heng’s head was spinning.

Shen Mu Ran: [Sister, the sunflowers at my house have bloomed. I took a photo for you.]

Shen Mu Ran: [Photo]

Sun Heng took a glance and saw the girl and a sunflower leaning their heads toward each other. It looked like a strange, hilarious photo of two people, and the girl was smiling broadly. The sunflower was beautiful, and so was the girl, but Sun Heng had a massive headache.

She thought the name Shen Mu Ran was incredibly deceptive, so after a moment of thought, she changed the contact name to Su Nian.

“President Sun? President Sun?” Her assistant stood at her desk holding a file, tilting her head. “What are you looking at?”

“Ah? Oh, it is nothing.” Sun Heng quickly closed her phone. “How is the training for the new employees going?”

“It is almost finished. They will officially start at the hotel tomorrow,” her assistant said with a smile. “Since the hotel is newly opened, would you like to go take a look, President Sun?”

“I won’t go.” Sun Heng clasped her fingers together on the desk. “You all handle the arrangements. I have other things to do.”

“Other things?” Her assistant blinked. “What else do you have to be busy with? Isn’t tomorrow the weekend?”

“That is exactly why I am busy,” Sun Heng said, her eyes curving into a smile. “I have a blind date tomorrow.”
