"Jing, you can still stay calm at a ti like this?" Bao’er looked at Mi Jing with a hint of surprise on her round face. Based on her understanding of Mi Jing, she shouldn’t be this quiet at this mont!
"I’m going inside to help."
With a sudden motion, Mi Jing stood up with a stern face, threw out a sentence, and didn’t bother to acknowledge Bao’er and Bai Lulu as she walked straight to the kitchen.
"Are you sure she’s not going in there to eliminate that woman?" Bai Lulu asked.
"Don’t know." Bao’er shook her head and said, "Let’s go, follow her in and see."
With that, Bao’er and Bai Lulu both stood up and followed Mi Jing towards the kitchen.
The kitchen wasn’t large, and there was almost no furnishing inside, just a marble countertop with a sink embedded, and so commonly used seasonings placed beside it, along with an induction cooker. It was just that simple, very basic kitchen equipnt, but most single people working away from ho were similar because they didn’t plan to settle down here, and also didn’t have much spare money to waste, so generally, they wouldn’t buy too many kitchen or furniture items, just enough to use. And in this aspect, An Mingyuan was still comndable, at least he was a thrifty man who knew how to live frugally; he wouldn’t spend money extravagantly, but would also not be stingy with friends. If he could remain emotionally faithful, perhaps he could be considered a reliable lifelong partner.
Unfortunately...
Mi Jing stopped at the kitchen door, watching a man and a woman inside working in perfect harmony, a few past scenes flashed through her mind.
Thinking back, An Mingyuan had been living here for several years now, from university graduation until now. Mi Jing hadn’t visited many tis, but every ti she did, it was always An Mingyuan and Ruanruan bustling in the kitchen, while she either watched TV in the living room, supervised from the side, or went out to the balcony connected to the kitchen to enjoy the view.
But at this mont, the place was still the sa, but the people were a different combination.
Turns out, besides Ruanruan, An Mingyuan could also have such synergy with this woman, like a little married couple. Those who didn’t know the situation might even envy them for their seemingly good relationship.
With a hint of sarcastic laughter on her lips, Mi Jing thought that this world really does have all kinds of n, especially those who are emotionally unfaithful!
Thinking this, Mi Jing felt the pressure on her shoulders and turned her head, seeing two familiar faces, she suddenly felt a strong urge to embrace them. From childhood to adulthood, she t many people, but those who stayed in touch and often appeared around her were very few. Compared to the love she once pursued wholeheartedly and devotedly, familial bonds and friendships always yielded high returns for low investnts, while love sotis was like a thankless wolf, the deeper the love, the greater the hurt.
"What’s up? Did you suddenly realize you’re in love with ?" Bao’er, who understood Mi Jing well, joked. Though she was an optimistic person, she was also quite emotional at tis. Seeing Mi Jing’s spirited eyes misting over, she knew her sensitive nerve had been touched again.
"I’ve always been in love with you, didn’t you know?" Sotis, between good friends, there was no need for too many words. A simple look would suffice. Mi Jing smiled softly, responding lightheartedly to Bao’er’s tease.
"Why are you all standing here? Bored?" Noticing Mi Jing and the others standing at the door, An Mingyuan turned to them and asked.
"We’re good! We just wanted to co in and help." Saying this, Mi Jing walked towards An Mingyuan, adding, "No need to cook, with the induction cooker, let’s have hot pot instead." Given the cold weather, hot pot was the perfect choice, warming and saving waiting ti.
"Great idea." Mo Tingting, who was washing vegetables, turned and agreed, but Mi Jing ignored her.
Mi Jing had exhausted her patience with this woman. If she wanted to show off her hospitality, Mi Jing wouldn’t stop her but wouldn’t cooperate either. Since she liked performing solo, let her continue.
"Let us help too."
Seeing Mi Jing already busy, Bao’er pulled Bai Lulu to join the bustle, squeezing between An Mingyuan and Mo Tingting to help with washing vegetables. This made the already small kitchen feel even more cramped, with hardly any room to turn around.
"Lulu, Bao’er, why don’t you sit outside? The kitchen space is limited; it’s uncomfortable to squeeze in here," An Mingyuan suggested, struggling to slice at as Bao’er stood on his right and Mi Jing on his left.
"It’s fine. We’d rather squeeze into your kitchen than into soone’s relationship. Though it’s not comfortable, at least we’re not doing anything morally corrupt and can feel at ease."
Bao’er’s words were clearly loaded, everyone could hear it, but the two being subtly criticized kept their composure and remained silent. So Bao’er, biting her lip, smiled and asked Mo Tingting, "Miss Mo, do you feel uncomfortable with us squeezing in beside you?"
"Not at all! The more, the rrier!" Mo Tingting placed the cleaned vegetables in a basket, still smiling brightly.
"Actually, I think it depends on the situation. A gathering like ours is definitely more lively with more people, but when it cos to mistresses or love rivals, isn’t it also about the thrill of the commotion? Maybe they think it’s more exciting with more people, all vying for one man?"
"It’s hard to say who’s right or wrong in matters of the heart, and feelings can’t always be controlled. Sotis, you just like soone, but it happens that you et them at an inconvenient ti to be the main partner." Mo Tingting’s soft and gentle voice, however, uttered sothing utterly ridiculous.
Ha!
Finally, the truth was spoken!
Mi Jing and the others sneered inwardly, but since Bao’er had started this topic, they tacitly kept quiet, waiting for Bao’er’s retort.
Bao’er smiled, revealing her cute little canine teeth, and said, "I disagree with you. Although emotions can’t be controlled, choosing to be a mistress is a decision one can make. Also, not everyone is destined to be the main partner. Even if the opportunity arises, there’s no guarantee one can secure that position, and might not even get the chance to be a mistress in the future. So, won should value themselves and not beco toys for n seeking novelty."
"Bao’er, what’s gotten into you today? Your words sound odd," An Mingyuan stopped what he was doing and looked at Bao’er with a puzzled expression.
Acting!
