“How long have we known each other? What’s the point of getting married when you don’t even know the person? Don’t your elders always say that marriage is not child’s play.” Xia Feiqing said with a cold voice.
“So you know they don’t know each other and just met? Since they’re already in love and talking about marriage, they must have gotten to know each other better. This marriage is not child’s play, but second marriages are different, so you don’t have to be too squirmy if you can meet the right one.”
“Right, with Zhao Lanlan’s current condition, this man is more than enough to match her.” Yu Ningjiao said.
Xia Feiqing stared at her with boredom, “Women who talk too much always make people feel especially disgusted!”
“…” His words were so blunt, it was almost like a slap in the face, blocking Yu Ningjiao’s face red for a while and white for a while. She pouted and glanced at Mrs. Xia, “Auntie, look, Feiqing bullies people.”
Mrs. Xia angrily slapped her son’s hand, “How do you talk, no manners!”
Xia Feiqing was distracted and passed the menu in his hand towards Mrs. Xia, “You guys order, don’t worry about me.”
Mrs. Xia knew that he was in a bad mood, so she didn’t force her. Yu Ningjiao didn’t dare to say anything else at this moment, and only went over to order with Mrs. Xia.
Xia Feiqing’s line of sight again can not help but fall to the opposite not far from the table, he sat in a position to see her side face. Today’s her, put her hair down, made a layer of thin and clear makeup, with grass green skirt the whole person fresh and beautiful, extraordinarily moving.
He felt sulking more and more inside.
A woman is a pleasure to look at. Obviously, she had dressed up in order to meet this man.
Not knowing what the man had said, she laughed softly. It was the kind of smile that came from the heart, even the corners of her eyes were colored with laughter. When she smiled, she was radiant, with soft lines that made people’s hearts flutter. There was light cast in from the window, and the whole picture was as beautiful as a poster.
This scene …
It’s really excellent.
However, he couldn’t be happy, instead, he only felt a terrible tightness in his chest. That kind of smile, even before, she rarely showed it in front of him, her husband.
Did she even know how easy it was to make a man’s heart flutter with that look? Or, she was simply intending to seduce the other party!
He grabbed his cell phone in annoyance and fiddled with it.
The other side.
Zhao Lanlan was chatting soundly with the person across from her when her cell phone gave a short ring. She smiled apologetically at the opposite side and said, “Sorry, I’ll check my phone first.”
“That’s okay.” The other man was thoughtful.
She pulled her cell phone out and was slightly stunned when she saw the sender of the text message on the screen. She didn’t understand why he would send himself a message since he was with Yu Ningjiao. After a short moment of contemplation, she still tapped the message open.
“Nice speed in making boyfriends. But you have a really bad eye.”
“…” she was speechless. He messaged her just to make fun of her?
Without replying, he rested his cell phone on the desktop, just pretending he didn’t see it, and continued to talk and laugh with the other man.
Without waiting a minute, the phone rang again, “He’s not fit to be your marriage partner!”
What doesn’t fit? Why did she think it fit? She continued to ignore someone’s baseless words and dined with pleasure.
Back.
Someone grabbed the phone and looked at the screen several times in a row. After realizing that once again there was no movement, he glanced across the room. The damn woman was actually eating with gusto, oblivious to the fact that he was here waiting for a message!
No manners!
After another minute had passed, he simply dialed his cell phone number.
Zhao Lanlan had just finished her meal and put down her dinner knife when her cell phone rang. When she saw the name, she was a bit helpless.
What does he want?
“It’s okay, you can listen to the phone first.” Thinking she was embarrassed, the man across the table was a gentleman. He also stopped his dining action, wiped his lips with a napkin, and sipped lightly from his red wine.

“No need, it should be a sales call, I’ve always been bothered by this lately.” Zhao Lanlan smiled and shook her head, directly pressing the phone off. Seeing that the other party had already put down their cutlery, and thinking about the gaze behind her, she suggested, “Since we’ve finished dining, why don’t we change places. I know a not bad place to drink tea, I wonder if Mr. Yu is interested?”
“That’s exactly what I was going to do.” The other rose.
Zhao Lanlan took her cell phone and stuffed it into her bag, ignoring the sight behind her, she was busy following the other person outside.
The phone was hung up, and Xia Feiqing could no longer remain calm. At this moment, when he saw them getting up to leave, he stood up almost without even thinking about it, to follow them.
“Fei Qing!” Mrs. Xia’s quick eyes and hands pulled him to a stop, “What are you doing?”
“Mom, let go.”
“Don’t you be ignorant of the occasion.” Mrs. Xia’s eyes glanced at Yu Ningjiao, who was already deeply hurt, and was reminding her son that there was still a breather sitting here. Xia Feiqing, however, didn’t care at all, “You guys eat, I’ll come over to pick you up afterward.”
“I forbid you to leave!” Mrs. Summer stood up and held him back.
“Mom!”
“Son, today mom will make things clear for you.” Mrs. Xia’s face was serious, “In the past, it was you who had wronged Lan Lan first, now that she has found a suitable one with great difficulty, you shouldn’t go and destroy it. You are a man, you should be dashing and generous and choose to bless her! If you go and make a mess, and the two of them fall apart again, what do you want Lanlan to do? Girls aren’t like you men, there aren’t many years that can be delayed, understand?”
Xia Feiqing froze. This series of words, every word was reasonable, he simply could not refute.
“A woman’s whole life is about stability. If you can’t give her these things, don’t hold her back from looking for them with others.” Mrs. Xia slightly loosened her hand and said, “Think about it yourself.”
He was stunned, and then, retreating to his seat, sat down again.
It’s been a long time …
All could only watch in bewilderment as that backdrop faded away, and together with that man, laughing and talking, completely disappeared from their eyes.
Mom was right, and even though he hated to admit it, he had to say that Zhao Lanlan had a rare peace of mind when she was with this man. Shouldn’t he really choose to be blessed?
Throughout the afternoon, Zhao Lanlan was ‘exchanging emotions’ with the man LuLu introduced to her.
It was obvious that the other party was also quite satisfied with himself. After the two drank tea, they ate dinner together and went to the river to watch the fireworks at night before he sent her back. By the time he arrived downstairs at home, it was already after 9pm.
Zhao Lanlan didn’t know how many times she had looked at her cell phone during these few hours. She didn’t even know what she was expecting, but …
The cell phone did not ring again for the entire afternoon to evening time. Maybe … Xia Feiqing is with Yu Ningjiao. That’s right, with his fiancée, how could he still remember her, his ex-wife?
That’s good! It’s time for both of them to start a new life with each other.
Thinking like this, the boredom in his heart didn’t dissipate a bit.
