"Why not? There's still one stop ahead and we'll be home. I just wanted to take a walk and get some fresh air. It's getting late now and there are people coming and going on the street. What are you afraid of?"
Liang Xiaodong couldn't stand her persistence, and Fang Tianqin urged her hard, so he asked her to get off the car.
The street was still bustling with pedestrians and traffic. Qiao Xiaomai walked a few steps without feeling dizzy or blurry, but his chest felt tight.
Is it because of meeting Jiang and his entourage? Or is it because of that terrifying and vicious face?
There was a Bentley lying in front of her, and she was silent, not having the courage to walk over.
Jiang and his party got out of the car and walked slowly over.
This is a quiet street with few pedestrians, and the thick banyan trees on the street are lonely and deserted.
Their eyes met and they were silent for a long time.
They were obviously so familiar people, but now they seemed like strangers. Because they were separated from the feasting and entertainment of the hotel, they saw each other more clearly.
She thought: He has matured a lot, but some things in his bones have still not changed;
He thought: She shouldn't be like this at all.
She read his thoughts from his eyes, just like when she reunited with Yi Xiangxi: maybe they both thought she shouldn't be like this now.
So, in their imagination, what would she be like, Qiao Xiaomai? Foolish and silly? Desperate? Old and shabby? Or maybe she has become a poor woman married to a pauper by an unkempt boss?
"Wheat, how have you been these past few years?"
Finally, it was he who broke the silence first. Under the moonlight, she looked at the somewhat cynical face across from her. This was not the Jiang Yixing of the past. He had become a frequent visitor to gossip news and the target of female celebrities.
I think back then, I almost became a couple with him, but now, I am about to marry another man.
She had calmed down and smiled slightly, "After all, life will pass."
His face was filled with sadness: "My life is lackluster."
There was another embarrassing silence. Jiang Yi Xing suddenly said: "Shall we find a place to talk?"
She was a little uneasy. Jiang and his party did not miss the trace of uneasiness on her face and laughed to themselves: "Mai Ma, are you afraid of me?"
She was shocked and forced a smile: "I know there is a cafe in front."
She was sitting in the passenger seat, and the place he went to was not the coffee shop. Seven or eight years ago, she often rode in his car, but not as well as tonight. Tonight, she couldn't think of any jokes that were as sweet and funny as they were back then.
He is happy. At that time, one of our favorite people said, "Mai, I'm so happy to be with you..."
He loves her because she can bring him happiness and make his life easy and full of fun.
However, at this moment, everything surrounding the two of them was filled with depression.
The car stopped and there was a very quaint coffee shop. Jiang and his party stood at the door: "Wheat, look, this coffee shop is still there. We used to come here often. I still remember that you always ordered a cup of Blue Mountain."
coffee……"
When they were passionately in love, that was her favorite place to stay with him. This time, her footsteps were heavy. In a daze, she remembered that the only coffee brands she knew at that time were Blue Mountain and Cappuccino, and they were from fashion.
She saw it in a magazine, so every time she was with Jiang and his entourage, she was afraid of making him laugh at the price, so she always ordered that brand. At that time, she didn't even know the difference between a latte and a mocha.
