Unable to accept the fact that Shen Ye was engaged to someone else, Yin Manqing could only hope that everything Shen Ye did might be a last resort. Perhaps, he was working very hard towards her and the child, but for a moment, he didn't Ways to deal with everything.
And Annie and Peter, even Shen Ye's closest friends, still don't know whether Shen Ye and Long Yunjing's engagement is true or false. This time, Shen Ye's thoughts cannot be guessed at all.
Although Yin Manqing also hoped to learn some news about Shen Ye through Annie and Peter, the news he got was that Shen Ye was very determined and really decided to go with Long Yunjing...
On Christmas Eve, Mengxi and Yin Manqing made an appointment to go to mass together. In fact, Mengxi was not a Christian, but he thought that Yin Manqing must have many wishes. Going to mass with Yin Manqing on Christmas Eve might be the best thing for her. .
"If attending mass can help you realize one wish, what would you most like to do now?" Mengxi and Yin Manqing walked side by side on the streets filled with New Year celebrations and joy. The shimmering light, such a festive and joyful atmosphere, further accentuates Yin Manqing's desolation.
What does she want to do most?
Of course he is with Shen Ye, there is no doubt about it.
But now, I am afraid that even if she participates in mass and receives God's grace, this wish still seems difficult to achieve.
"I hope my baby will be born safely, grow up healthy, and have smooth sailing in life in the future." He must not be as ups and downs as she is.
Yin Manqing wore a thick woolen coat, and the purple coat showed her youthful vitality. The heavy snowfall on Christmas Eve in Chicago was far better than Christmas Eve in China. The New Year atmosphere was very strong. There were shining lights everywhere, and her eyes were dazzled by the colorful lights.
On such a happy day, she shouldn't cry, but Yin Manqing's eyes couldn't help but have a thin layer of mist, which was light and faint, making her pupils bright and beautiful. Mengxi naturally felt distressed after seeing it, "You are my Idol, fans are sad to see their idols, and as a fan, they will be even sadder than you..."
Mengxi raised her hand to try to wipe away her tears. Although Yin Manqing knew that Mengxi was a good person, she still avoided such a touch and took a step back calmly, "I'm not sad at all. I'm just moved by the scene. "
Thinking of all the times she and Shen Ye were together in the past, and the entangled love they had on snowy days, Yin Manqing couldn't help but feel her heart surge. No matter how much beauty and compatibility they had in the past, there was no fate. After all, there was no fate.
"No matter how bad the situation is, you still have me, your most loyal fan, with you." Even though Mengxi had thoughts about Yin Manqing, he was a smart man. When Yin Manqing found it most difficult to forget Shen Ye, he would never Chances are, simply calling yourself a "fan" may help Yin Manqing reduce her psychological pressure, starting with being a friend.
"Heh." She smiled, forcing a smile on her face.
However, Yin Manqing knew very well that she was really lucky to have Mengxi here. On a day like Christmas Eve, Lixiang must be guarded tightly by Mu Chengtian, and she was alone in a foreign country. She could have a friend to accompany her, at least she could not So desolate and lonely.
"Let's go and listen to the Mass music and recite poems together." Mengxi led Yin Manqing to watch Mass together at the largest church in Chicago. When the two arrived, there were countless believers praying devoutly and with a very serious attitude. Hope to receive God's favor.
Yin Manqing and Meng Xi joined together. Like everyone else, they got rid of all distracting thoughts and prayed seriously with the people in the church.
If there really is a god, if God can really control the destiny of the world, then at this moment, Yin Manqing sincerely begged God to give her a chance to let Shen Ye return to her...
After a long time, when the mass ended and Yin Manqing stood up, she felt a strong sense of dizziness.
"Be careful, are you okay?" Mengxi protected her nervously.
"It's okay." Pressing her dizzy temples, Yin Manqing still felt dizzy. It seemed that she had been too serious and indulged in all the prayers and wishes, and her mental state was a little bad.
"Do I need to go to the hospital for a checkup?" Yin Manqing's face didn't look good at all.
"Take me back to the hotel. Thank you very much for accompanying me today, but I can't take up your time anymore. Darren is waiting for you, and your family must be looking forward to having you come home and reunite together."
"Ignore Darren, he's used to nagging."
"But, I hope you can go home. Doesn't it mean that I am your idol? Shouldn't fans listen to the idol's voice?" Yin Manqing used this status to put pressure on Mengxi.
"...This..." Mengxi scratched his head childishly.
Yin Manqing had already waved to Darren, who was not far away, signaling him to come over.
But at this moment, there was a voice that she least wanted to hear in her life, "Hey, is this Sister Xiaoman?"
That voice, even without seeing her face, could be accurately guessed that it was Long Yunjing's arrogant and triumphant voice. Yin Manqing turned his back to her and didn't want to see her, but Long Yunjing blocked her way and... He is there too.
"It's really Sister Xiaoman. It turns out that you also came to attend mass. I thought you had gone back a long time ago. If I knew you were still in Chicago, I should have called and asked you to come out with me." Long Yunjing's hypocritical tricks came again. Yes, every time she heard her outrageous hypocrisy, the fire in Yin Manqing's heart naturally burst out.
Shen Ye did not say hello, nor was he particularly surprised. He was just as calm as he had seen at Long's house before. Yin Manqing did not dare to look at that face, for fear that once she saw it, she would not be able to control her emotions.
"You and I haven't gotten to know each other well enough to go to mass together." If possible, Yin Manqing thought, they wouldn't even be strangers.
Long Yunjing didn't care about Yin Manqing's ridicule, and his eyes fell on Meng Xi's face, "Sister Xiao Man, you must be familiar with him. I thought that Sister Xiao Man would cry and be extremely sad without Brother Ye, but she didn't I thought you were more unexpected than I thought. You actually seduced a Western man in just a few days. What do you think, comparing a Western man or an Eastern man, which one is more suitable for you?"
"Yun Jing." This time, before Yin Manqing could speak, Shen Ye had already stopped her. Just as Long Yunjing protested against Shen Ye's protection, her palms were clenched, "Let's go, Christmas Eve is precious, don't waste it. time."
"Brother Ye, I see you can't wait to say it..." Long Yunjing looked shy.
When hearing these words, Yin Manqing's ears seemed to be numb, and her heart was already as calm as ashes.
Shen Ye left with Long Yunjing in hand, without saying a word to Yin Manqing from beginning to end, but Mengxi unexpectedly blocked them, "Yunjing, apologize."
His tone was like that of an elder, and it was very compelling. If Long Yunjing thought that by pretending not to know him, she could bully Yin Manqing unscrupulously, then she was wrong. Long Ye and Mengxi's fathers are from the same mother. Although they rarely meet each other, they are at least relatives. How could Long Yunjing not know Mengxi...
But when she saw Meng Xi and Long Yunjing together, she was so surprised that she completely ignored Meng Xi.
"Mengxi, what are you talking about!" The temper of the eldest daughter Long Yunjing meant that everyone could only pamper her and coax her, and they would never allow Mengxi to help an outsider bully her.
"I said apologize, for what you just said! You are also a member of the upper class after all, and your words and deeds should have the cultivation of an upper class person. You talk nonsense, don't you feel embarrassed?" Mengxi scolded, with a serious expression on his face. .
"I'm embarrassed? Mengxi, get mad! Get out of my way." Long Yunjing disliked Mengxi for being nosy, and refused to give him a good look. She pushed Mengxi away in a big way, which was unbecoming of a wealthy lady. Mengxi couldn't guard against this move. He had no idea that Long Yunjing would be so arrogant and savage. Mengxi stumbled and accidentally bumped into Yin Manqing beside him. Yin Manqing leaned back unbalanced, "Ah, Mengxi, catch it. I."
At this moment, the only person she could turn to for help was Meng Xi, but she didn't expect that at the most critical moment, it was Shen Ye. He stabilized her waist in time to avoid falling. He remained silent. It was Shen Ye who used to scold her when she was so careless, but now, he just stared at her... Yin Manqing suddenly felt that there were thousands of jumping factors jumping around. move.
"Did you fall somewhere?" Mengxi pushed Shen Ye away forcefully, and nervousness swept across Yin Manqing's body.
Everything happened so fast. Yin Manqing was still immersed in the shock of Shen Ye reaching out to him just now. She thought he would never care about her. However, just because of Shen Ye's tight arms, familiar actions and intimacy. , seemed to arouse Yin Manqing’s reverie.
"Long Yunjing, you lunatic, you deserve a beating." Meng Xi was furious. When he looked at her with cruel eyes, he had the tendency to slap her several times. Long Yunjing was really frightened by Meng Xi. When he arrived, his face turned slightly pale.
Yin Manqing had no time to wonder why Long Yunjing and Meng Xi seemed so familiar to each other when they first met. She was immersed in the closeness to Shen Ye just now, as if he was telling her something.
Perhaps, as she imagined, he had temporary compulsions.
"As long as I'm here, don't even think about touching her." Shen Ye grabbed Long Yunjing's wrist and led Long Yunjing away. Although Shen Ye's move of supporting Yin Manqing made Long Yunjing unhappy, at least he was more protective than before. Alone...
Yin Manqing stared at Shen Ye's leaving figure for a moment, but her empty and pale heart seemed to be filled up in an instant. She didn't need any words, just a simple look, but she could make a profound conclusion, which also made her feel sad. Yin Manqing made another decision...
