She suddenly stopped. He couldn't hold back and almost touched the tip of her nose. He quickly took a step back with anxiety on his face: "Maimai, don't get me wrong... I really bumped into Bingbing by chance. I was just bringing someone with me."
I took Xiaobai to the vineyard, who knew she would be there too, I have no other intentions, and she and I have nothing else... Really, Mai, please believe me..."
How ridiculous, he thought it was jealousy. Seven years ago, he was frank about everything and admitted without scruples when he had done bad things. Now, he started to cover up. Gossip magazines had written about it so clearly. What was he deliberately covering up?
I really don’t know whether I should say whether Mr. Yi has made progress or regressed! Or, as people get older, their evil deeds become less blatant?
"wheat……"
She took out something from her bag and said with a smile: "Mr. Yi, this is the wedding invitation for Xiaodong and I. You can take it. I am too lazy to make another trip to give it to you..."
Yi Xiangxi shook his hand and saw the clear words on it: Qiao Maimai and Liang Xiaodong have been together for hundreds of years.
There was a buzz in his mind - really, this was actually true. The two of them had really set a wedding date. The time was clearly written on it.
Xiao Bai didn't know the turbulent undercurrent between the adults, but he still said innocently: "Sister Mai, you eat grapes. They are washed and put in an ice bucket. They are delicious..."
"Okay, let's go back and eat. Xiaobai, say goodbye to Uncle Yi."
"Uncle Yi, goodbye."
The two were about to leave, but a pair of big hands held Xiaobai. Yi Xiangxi bent down and said very gently: "Xiaobai, please go home first. I have something to talk to Sister Mai."
The child asked curiously: "What are you talking about?"
"That's a matter for adults."
The child suddenly took his hand and whispered to his ear: "Uncle Yi, please don't quarrel with Sister Mai, okay?"
He also quietly said: "Okay, I won't quarrel with Sister Mai, don't worry, Xiaobai."
The child then went back alone obediently.
It was dusk, and the two adults were standing at the gate of the community, with people coming and going, which was a bit awkward.
He calmly said: "Wheat, I want to talk to you..."
"If you have something to say, just say it."
"It's not convenient here."
"Nothing inconvenient."
"The things I want to talk about are very long. If it is convenient, can you allow me to go to your house?"
She looked coldly: "There is a cafe at the gate."
Business in the cafe was very cold, and there were almost no people around. The two of them sat down at the innermost corner by the window. It was opposite the exit of the community. If the children slipped out, they could see them at any time.
After the waiter brought the coffee, he wisely left.
In such a private space, they can speak directly if they have anything to say.
A man and a woman faced each other for the first time in many years, sitting at the same table to show off their cards.
He stared at her and saw her clearly.
In a daze, many years passed. The innocent girl's face had traces of vicissitudes of life. However, she was still very cheerful and showed no signs of being beaten down.
Life is not without hardships, but once you get through it, everything will be over. Just like a small tree, it can be easily blown off. But if it grows into a towering tree, it will be a big storm.
No longer afraid.
Qiao Maimai was very impatient: "Yi Xiangxi, if you have anything to say, just say it."
"Wheat... It was my fault back then, I was the one who felt sorry for you..."
