Chapter 1078 The One Who Follows Silently
Mi Xiaonan saw Liu Yibang coming over and said with a smile: "I'll pour you a cup of tea!"
Liu Yibang sat on the sofa, looking at the busy Mi Xiaonan and asked with a smile: "Did you enjoy shopping with your bridesmaids and brothers and sisters today?"
Mi Xiaonan nodded, "Happy! Very happy! Did everything go well for you today?"
Liu Yibang nodded. "Thanks to Meilan and my second brother, we were very well prepared. It's not like those friends came here in vain!"
"You must have talked a lot today, your mouth must be a little dry!" Mi Xiaonan handed over the tea. "By the way, you should have eaten?"
Liu Yibang smiled and took a sip of tea. "I've already eaten. I'll accompany you back home tomorrow!"
Mi Xiaonan waved her hand. "Although there is a rule of returning to your parents' home after three days, so many people are still here. It would be rude of you to come back to your parents' home with me and not accompany them!"
"How can that be?" Liu Yibang shook his head. "That's too ignorant of etiquette!"
Mi Xiaonan smiled, "Ah, it's just right that I can take my bridesmaids and my younger brothers and sisters out for a stroll! I estimate that you will be done with your work in two or three days, and then we can go back together to visit your parents! I've already called my parents, they won't blame us!"
When Liu Yibang heard this, he felt touched and warmed in his heart. He gently hugged Mi Xiaonan and said, "Thank you!"
Mi Xiaonan smiled and said, "You're welcome! We have a long way to go. We're going to spend the rest of our lives together, so of course we have to be considerate of each other!"
Liu Yibang held Mi Xiaonan's hand even tighter. It was his greatest luck in this life to marry Mi Xiaonan.
Fu Chen saw Liu Meilan coming back and asked softly, "Is Cao Yuanyuan gone?"
Liu Meilan nodded, "Yes, he's gone! Looks like he's figured it out!"
Fu Chen smiled and said, "It's really hard to give up a man like Yibang! It's normal to regret it!"
Liu Meilan was pleased with herself, "Of course, that's the brilliant Third Brother! Anyone standing over there can feel his gentle and elegant demeanor! In ancient times, if he wasn't the top scholar, he would definitely be the third place!"
Fu Chen smiled, "What about me?"
Liu Meilan threw herself into Fu Chen's arms, hooked her arms around his neck, and said coquettishly and sweetly, "Then you are the invincible general! You are my unrivaled hero!"
Fu Chen's lips curled up at Liu Meilan's praise, "You, your mouth has been coaxing me so much that I don't know east from west!"
Liu Meilan laughed out loud, "Just say you're happy?"
"Happy! I'm happy every day with you!" Fu Chen replied with a smile, "I'm going back tomorrow and will be back in about 5 days, so I can go back to Beijing before the New Year!"
Liu Meilan also nodded, "I've finished the things I have to deal with these days, so I'll relax and have a good New Year!"
Although it was only a short separation, Fu Chen still couldn't bear to leave. Before leaving, he not only took a bath with Liu Meilan in the extra-large jacuzzi, but also had a lot of fun playing on the big bed!
Under the cover of night, Cao Yuanyuan walked out of the hotel cafe and walked aimlessly along the sidewalk under the street lights.
But she didn't go to a remote place, but went to a place with brighter lights.
Even though she is sad and a little upset now, Cao Yuanyuan knows that she cannot put herself in danger.
The further she walked, the more tears she shed.
There was a person following Cao Yuanyuan from behind. When Cao Yuanyuan walked fast, the person behind her would walk faster; when Cao Yuanyuan walked slowly, the person behind her would walk slower.
Passing by a stall selling candied haws, Cao Yuanyuan stopped and bought herself a candied haws.
When I was a child, my family’s living standard was not very good, and candied haws were a rare delicacy.
Every time Dad came back from collecting mountain produce, he would buy one for Cao Yuanyuan. Her brothers didn't have any, but she did.
However, Cao Yuanyuan did not enjoy her father's love alone. She let her three brothers each eat a large hawthorn on top, and then she ate the two smaller ones at the back.
Thinking of this, Cao Yuanyuan smiled, with tears in her eyes.
Now she understood her parents' earnest advice, and also understood that some people, once missed, could never be found again.
This was the last time she deliberately appeared in front of Liu Yibang, and it would never happen again.
She didn't want to become a unreasonable and malicious person who would ruin other people's lives and her own life.
She also doesn't want the modest gentleman Liu Yibang whom she once admired to become a despicable scum who is fickle and changes his mind.
Maybe the next time they meet by chance, Cao Yuanyuan can nod to Liu Yibang in the crowd and then leave calmly.
Cao Yuanyuan was eating candied haws, the sour and sweet taste was just as beautiful as her childhood memories.
Cao Yuanyuan was eating and laughing!
At this time, the person who followed behind came over and said, "You still remember to eat candied haws. It seems that you are not going to do anything bad."
Cao Yuanyuan, who was eating a candied haws, turned her head sharply when she heard this, and then saw the man behind her, "Qin Zheng? Why are you here?"
Qin Zheng smiled and said, "Why can't I be here? After all, we are classmates. Come here. I can't see you in danger."
Cao Yuanyuan smiled and pointed at the street lights. "Didn't you see I was walking towards the bustling area? Even at night, there were more and more people!"
Qin Zheng nodded, "I saw it! That's why I feel relieved!"
Cao Yuanyuan smiled and said, "Alright! I'm safe now, you can go back!"
"Aren't you going to the hotel now?" Qin Zheng asked. "Although there are a lot of people outside, it's night time now. It's better to go back to the hotel early. It's safer!"
Cao Yuanyuan shook her head. "After I finish this candied haws, I'll take a taxi to the airport! There's a flight to the United States at 6 a.m. tomorrow!"
"Have you bought the ticket?" Qin Zheng was slightly stunned.
Cao Yuanyuan shook her head. "No! But some people might need to cancel their tickets or for other reasons. If I can buy a ticket, that would be great. If not, I'll buy one at the airport!"
Qin Zheng thought about it and said, "That's fine. I'll take you there later!"
"Really, no need!" Cao Yuanyuan refused. "I can still handle this little thing!"
Qin Zheng looked at Cao Yuanyuan and the tears still etched on her face. "Don't cry. I can only say that you and Liu Yibang are pursuing different goals! I once asked Yibang why he didn't stop you from going abroad. Yibang's answer to me was that he could indeed stop you from going abroad, but that would become your obsession, and you would blame him later!"
Cao Yuanyuan was startled, thought carefully for a moment, and then nodded. "Yes! Liu Yibang knows me. If I don't go abroad as I wish, I will regret it in the future. You are also right. I really don't want to be ordinary. I even like adventure. I prefer a fast-paced and fulfilling work and life."
"Although I regret missing out on love with Liu Yibang, and even now I kind of regret going abroad, I believe that after a while, I will still firmly believe that I was right to go abroad! I did learn a lot and broaden my horizons, but some things are destined to have no results."
