After all, Mr.
Li is still in hospital.
He certainly has enough worries at the mont!”
Nanxi nodded.
At this mont, that was really the only option.
Yang Su continued, “But, Nanxi, there’s no need to worry anymore.
Regarding matters of the heart, don’t force it too much, but don’t let yourself suffer too much either.
What’s ant to be yours will always be yours.
No one can take it from you.
Rember, just go with the flow!”
Go with the flow?
But could she really just go with the flow?
Before hanging up, Nanxi thanked her.
Yang Su retorted, “Dare to say that again, and you’ll see if I don’t beat you up!”
Nanxi laughed with a “pfft” sound, feeling significantly better in an instant!
Yang Su said, “Good, you’re smiling.
That ans you’re relaxed.
Rember, Nanxi, follow your heart, no matter what your choices are, Lanlan and I will always be there to support you.
Fight on, Nanxi!”
Nanxi wanted to say “thank you” again, but recalling Yang Su’s earlier words, she kept her mouth shut and simply replied with an “Mm.”
Nanxi felt very lucky.
At a ti when she was anxious and at a loss, she was surrounded by such supportive friends.
It was great, truly great!
…
On the third day of Liang Qiaoqiao’s blind date, she took Chen Juncai ho to et the Liang family.
Liang Youquan and their grandmother were delighted, so they prepared a full table of dishes.
The grandmother asked Liang Youquan to invite Xu i over, to which he responded awkwardly, “Well, Mom, I don’t think that’s necessary.”
The grandmother looked displeased.
Once Liang Youquan left the room, their grandmother sulked in her room.
Nanxi went to find her and engaged in a chat, during which their grandmother voiced her grievances.
“Look, I just want Xu i to move forward with the arrangents.
They’ve known each other for several months already, and they’re in their forties and fifties now.
It’s about ti for them to settle down, why are they being so hesitant?”
Hearing this, Nanxi sighed.
As an observer, she could tell that Liang Youquan and Xu i liked each other.
At their age, they weren’t after youthful passion or turbulent love anymore.
They simply wanted a suitable life partner to spend the rest of their days together.
This was a good enough arrangent.
The issue wasn’t about ti, but about their intentions.
They were clear about their feelings, yet delayed making a decision.
Nanxi had so idea why this was happening.
Not only did she understand, but Liang Youquan, Xu i, and their grandmother did as well.
Their grandmother, at her age, had a different perspective and feelings towards life.
Having seen and experienced so much in life, she hoped for simplicity and normalcy at end of the day.
As long as everyone could walk this journey peacefully, she, as the elder, would be at ease.
After comforting their grandmother, Nanxi left the room to help her uncle in the kitchen.
Qiaoqiao and Chen Juncai had gone to the supermarket and hadn’t returned yet.
As for Chen Juncai, Nanxi had just taken a few glances at him: he was tall and good-looking, wore glasses, and was polite and genteel.
Their grandmother seed to like him, while Uncle Youquan didn’t seem to object.
Everything depended on Qiaoqiao.
Though Qiaoqiao was already twenty-seven years old and not young anymore, Nanxi still found it hard to accept that she was entrusting her life to soone in such a casual manner through a blind date.
At around eleven in the morning, Xu i arrived.
Qiaoqiao hadn’t co back yet.
Xu i said it was Qiaoqiao who had asked her to co over.
Everyone heard this and felt a mix of sighs, relief, and heartache.
Around ten past eleven, Qiaoqiao and Chen Juncai ca back.
Chen Juncai had bought a bunch of stuff, including so wine.
Liang Youquan did not smoke, but he loved drinking.
Normally, he had no one at ho to drink with him.
But now, Chen Juncai was there, possibly going to be his future son-in-law, and so sharing conversations over drinks seed amicable.
During lunch, Qiaoqiao’s phone rang.
She went upstairs to answer it.
This call lasted a while.
Nanxi noticed that Chen Juncai had glanced upstair several tis.
He smiled and said to the others, “I’ll go check on her, you guys continue eating.”
Nanxi went upstairs, saw that Qiaoqiao’s door was slightly ajar, and heard Qiaoqiao speaking on the phone.
She said, “I understand.
I’ll keep an eye on her.
Don’t worry, everything will be fine.”
Nanxi paused in her tracks, sowhat puzzled about who’s the “he (she)” referred to by Liang Qiaoqiao.
Who was Qiaoqiao watching?
Could it be Chen Juncai?
Nanxi knocked on the door and called out, “Cousin!”
Liang Qiaoqiao was taken aback, then told the person on the other end of the line, “I have sothing to do here, let’s talk later!”
Having said that, she swiftly ended the call.
Nanxi walked over and approached her, “Cousin, whom were you talking to just now?”
Liang Qiaoqiao raised her eyebrows, “Why?
Interested to know?”
Frankly speaking, Nanxi was intrigued.
She wanted to learn about the man who took her much-adored, super sophisticated cousin’s heart.
So, she promptly nodded, “Yes, I’m really curious!”
Liang Qiaoqiao touched her chin thoughtfully, as if considering sothing, then finally responded, “Well, you could say he’s my boss!”
“Your boss?
The owner of the club?”
Liang Qiaoqiao blinked, “Club?
Ahem, why would you think that…”
Nanxi frowned, pondering.
Then, the inspiration of a seasoned web novel author burst forth—
A rapid montage of a clichéd love story unfolded in her mind featuring a gorgeous fitness instructor and the fitness club owner, touched with the tragic hues of love too close yet too far…
Nanxi asked, “Considering the people you usually hang out with, club mbers seem very plausible, but apart from custors, there’s the boss.
Knowing your taste, it must be the boss…”
Liang Qiaoqiao fell silent, letting her continue.
Nanxi went on, “So, Cousin, was he calling because he found out that you’re getting married soon and wanted to confess his feelings or seek reconciliation?”
Gazing into Nanxi’s wide, dark eyes, Liang Qiaoqiao laughed, “Yes, Nanxi, you truly are clever!”
Nanxi felt a bit embarrassed by the complint, then queried, “Cousin, what are you planning to do now?
Go back to the boss or continue with Chen Juncai?”
“Hm,” Liang Qiaoqiao considered, then asked her, “What do you think?”
“What I think?” Nanxi blinked, leaning in close, “You really want my opinion?”
Liang Qiaoqiao nodded.
Of course.
Nanxi stated, “I think you should ask your boss straight out whether he really likes you or not.
Once that’s clear, he won’t be disturbing you with calls while you’re pursuing a new relationship, and it would be a responsible act towards your current feelings too!”
Liang Qiaoqiao smiled, “From what you’re saying, it sounds like you’re in favor of my…boss?
Is there sothing wrong with Chen Juncai?”
“No,” Nanxi thought for a while, then explained, “Actually, Cousin, it has nothing to do with whether he’s good or not.
Let ask you, do you like Chen Juncai?”
“I don’t dislike him!” Liang Qiaoqiao replied quite directly!
“But not disliking him doesn’t an you like him, and even if you do like him, it doesn’t an you love him.
If you stay together without any love, wouldn’t life be so dull and uninteresting!”
Liang Qiaoqiao pursed her lips, gazing gently at Nanxi.
Her intense stare sent a chill down Nanxi’s spine.
Hesitantly, Nanxi asked, “What’s… what’s wrong?
Did I say sothing…incorrect?”
Liang Qiaoqiao shook her head, “No, you’re absolutely right!
But Nanxi, if you can see others’ feelings so clearly, why are you stumbling in your own love life?”
Nanxi was taken aback!
