Chapter 471: Enemies Anger One Another
It was probably because he liked Sheng An’ning as much as he did in the past that he was disappointed now. When Jiang Haoxuan saw Sheng An’ning again, he felt a dull pain in his heart.
He had always thought that Sheng An’ning was the best girl in the world. Unfortunately, Sheng An’ning had torn this kind of beauty apart herself.
Sheng An’ning hugged Jiang Haoxuan and cried. She asked why Jiang Haoxuan didn’t like her anymore. She could change, but she only begged Jiang Haoxuan not to marry anyone else.
When Jiang Haoxuan heard Sheng An’ning’s words, his slender brows furrowed tightly and he forcefully pried Sheng An’ning’s hand away bit by bit.
Jiang Haoxuan thought that Sheng An’ning had learned what had happened between him and Lin Fei’er after she was banished from the Jiang family. He didn’t think too much about it and only advised her to let go.
Sheng An’ning held onto the street lamp and cried. Her tears were like an open faucet that couldn’t stop flowing no matter what. Her mournful expression still looked pitiful, but Jiang Haoxuan had already learned to ignore it.
Tears might have been Sheng An’ning’s best weapon against him in the past, but now it no longer is.
Jiang Haoxuan gave Sheng An’ning an indifferent look, then hardened his heart and turned to leave.
He had already decided to say goodbye to his past self. If he continued to tangle with Sheng An’ning, it would do no good to anyone.
Out of their past friendship, Jiang Haoxuan didn’t tell Jiang Zhiyuan and the others about Sheng An’ning’s return. He only advised Sheng An’ning to leave S City as soon as possible.
He did not know that his kind-hearted advice would drive Sheng An’ning even crazier, to the point of causing more trouble.
…
In a Hong kong-style tea restaurant on North Second Street.
Su Wan and Lin Fei’er ate a lot of food. Lin Fei’er gradually opened her heart and told Su Wan what she really thought.
Lin Fei’er bit the corner of her lips and sighed softly.
“Wan, do you think I’ll really be happy with Jiang Haoxuan? He’s liked Sheng An’ning for so long, and I don’t have such a deep relationship with him. I think…”
Before Lin Fei’er could finish her sentence, Su Wan immediately picked up a piece of prawn king dumpling and covered Lin Fei’er’s mouth.
“If the relationship isn’t deep enough, can’t it be slowly cultivated? Look at how long I’ve known Jiang Xuecheng. Don’t we get along well?”
“That’s different. Jiang Xuecheng married you because he likes you, but Jiang Haoxuan married me because I had a child with him…”
Lin Fei’er shook her head dejectedly. She could see that Jiang Xuecheng really liked Su Wan, which was why he pampered her so unconditionally. He didn’t care even if he pampered Su Wan to the heavens.
Su Wan stood up speechlessly and knocked on Lin Fei’er’s forehead.
“Isn’t it good to have a child? Don’t you know how much the elders of the Jiang family hope to have a grandson? You, don’t be ignorant of your fortune. Besides, if Jiang Haoxuan doesn’t like you at all, why would he come and propose to you?”
“With Jiang Haoxuan’s qualifications, it’s really not difficult to find someone with better conditions than you.”
“The reason why he was ignored by you time and time again and was willing to look for you is because he has a good impression of you. You can’t possibly think that it’s because of guilt, right?!”
If a man liked you, he would take the initiative.
Jiang Haoxuan was young, and he was not pressured by his elders to get married. If Jiang Haoxuan did not have any feelings for Lin Fei’er, why would he go and propose to her…
As Su Wan spoke, she slowly brought a prawn king dumpling to her own mouth.
Oh, they were so bloated. There was almost nothing left on the table. After settling this prawn king dumpling, she could go pay the bill.
Lin Fei’er was stunned when she heard that. She carefully thought about what Su Wan said, and a handsome yet somewhat childish face suddenly appeared in her mind.
When Jiang Haoxuan was mocked by Lin Fei’er, he always smiled faintly. In the past, Lin Fei’er thought it was because he was thick-skinned, but when Su Wan suddenly reminded her, she suddenly understood.
Could it be that Jiang Haoxuan… really came to look for her because he liked her?!
Before Lin Fei’er could digest this fact, Su Wan beckoned the waiter over and began to settle the bill for the meal.
After Su Wan paid the bill, she immediately held Lin Fei’er’s hand and led her out.
Outside the Hong kong-style tea restaurant, without the air-conditioning and cooling, Su Wan immediately felt the astonishing heat outside.
In the blink of an eye, it was already early July. The sun was roasting the earth, and the temperature was rising. Although the wind kept blowing, it did not feel cool when it brushed against her skin. Instead, it felt even hotter.
Su Wan narrowed her eyes, put her palm on her forehead, and looked at the dazzling sun in the sky.
It was so hot, she felt like she was going to sweat…
Su Wan was a little regretful that she had left in a hurry today and forgot to bring her umbrella. She walked towards the overpass with Lin Fei’er, and the two of them continued to talk about what had happened earlier.
The pedestrians passing by all had ice cream in their hands. Lin Fei’er looked at them and could not help but feel a little hungry. She immediately pushed Su Wan.
“Wan, let’s go buy ice cream too, shall we?”
As Su Wan had recently seen a Chinese doctor, she was using Chinese medicine to recuperate her body while following the doctor’s instructions not to eat raw and cold things.
Su Wan rolled her eyes at Lin Fei’er. “You’re already pregnant. Aren’t you afraid that eating such cold ice cream would be bad for the baby?”
“But I’m thirsty…”
Lin Fei’er blinked her big eyes and begged Su Wan.
Earlier at the Hong kong-style tea restaurant, Lin Fei’er had finished the bowl of preserved egg and lean meat porridge first. Did she order any other drinks after that? As she spoke, her mouth felt dry.
Su Wan shook her head helplessly. She reached out and knocked on Lin Fei’er’s forehead. “If you’re thirsty, drink mineral water. I’ll buy you some water. Wait for me at the overpass.”
Lin Fei’er nodded and stood on the overpass. She looked down at Su Wan’s disappearing figure.
Lin Fei’er’s lips curved unconsciously. After Su Wan’s explanation today, she was in a much better mood. She also decided to accept Jiang Haoxuan’s proposal.
Su Wan was right. If she took a bold step forward, even if it was not happiness, at least it would not be a nightmare.
She had already gone through the darkest phase of her life. She should raise her head and welcome the light.
Lin Fei’er thought about it and reached out to touch her stomach. Although the baby wasn’t noticable, Lin Fei’er could clearly feel its presence.
“Baby, I’ve decided to marry your father. I’ve made this decision because I want you to be happy. Baby, are you happy?”
She knew that the baby in her stomach would not be able to hear her, but Lin Fei’er asked as if it was a serious matter.
She reached out to the railing of the overpass and looked down at the traffic below.
Having really made this decision, Lin Fei’er felt as if she was unburdened and instantly felt relaxed.
At that moment, Lin Fei’er suddenly felt a chill behind her back, as if someone had been watching her.
Lin Fei’er was taken aback. She turned around and looked behind her.
A beautiful face appeared in front of her eyes. However, the person was looking at her eerily like a cold snake.
Why was Sheng An’ning here?!
