"Actually, I kind of hope my aunt has a son," Ding Jinshi suddenly said. "Otherwise, if it’s a younger sister, she might end up like , growing up, getting married, and then there’s no one around to take care of them."
Ding Long smiled contentedly. Ding Jinshi had really grown up, and there was no longer the estrangent from his father as before, which is why he genuinely thought about the family.
Because it was the peak dining ti, the service was slow. After finishing talking about the family matters with Ding Long, Ding Jinshi was idly watching around the shop but didn’t expect to see soone she rather not encounter.
Seeing the odd look in Ding Jinshi’s eyes, Ding Long followed her gaze and turned around. To his surprise, he saw Lan Li sitting five ters away by the window, dining with a woman. They seed to have arrived before him and Ding Jinshi, as they already had food on their table, yet it looked like they weren’t very familiar, both eating quietly without much conversation.
Ding Long naturally thought it was a blind date.
He vaguely rembered ntioning it in a call with an old comrade, how the old political commissar from their unit had set up Lan Li. Unexpectedly, they ran into each other tonight.
"When did Lan Li return to the capital?" Ding Jinshi retracted her gaze uneasily.
"I don’t know." Ding Long truly hadn’t been keeping up with Lan Li’s affairs, so he couldn’t answer Ding Jinshi’s question.
Seeing Ding Jinshi had retracted her gaze and appeared calm and unaffected, Ding Long continued, "Isn’t it a blind date for Lan Li? Which ans he’s preparing for marriage, right? Otherwise, with Lan Li’s character, how could he possibly go on a blind date?"
"Yeah, no one can force him to do what he doesn’t want to, and he’s an extrely responsible person. If he wasn’t thinking about marriage, why would he et a girl?" Ding Jinshi’s tone had a hint of sarcasm. Ironically, such a responsible man had irresponsibly disappointed her feelings.
"Does it bother you?" Ding Long observed Ding Jinshi’s expressions, noting that she hid her feelings well, showing neither resentnt nor sorrow on her face.
Ding Jinshi stiffly turned her face away, pretending to study the nu intently. It wasn’t until she heard Ding Long speaking to her that she looked up.
Ding Long asked her for a pen, and since Ding Jinshi had one in her bag, she handed it over. Before she could ask what he was up to, she saw him take out an empty invitation card from his coat pocket and started writing on it.
"Since we coincidentally t, let’s deliver the invitation in person," DIng Long returned the pen to Ding Jinshi after he finished writing.
"He’s not likely to co, so if you want to do sothing so pointless, do it yourself," Ding Jinshi sat still.
"Whether he cos or not is his decision. As childhood friends, we should extend the invitation. We can’t let Lin Chan and the others have invitations while excluding Lan Li, can we?" Ding Long whispered softly in Ding Jinshi’s ear, "Don’t you want to see Lan Li’s reaction?"
Ding Jinshi glanced up at Ding Long, and, as if under a spell, she followed Ding Long towards Lan Li.
By the window, Lan Li was visibly shocked by the sudden arrival of Ding Jinshi and Ding Long.
