“Then who will pay for my death, Xiao Meiyan?”
His heart was only for her, while hers was filled with Qing Muye.
Xiao Cheng was enraged, his voice rising in volume.
“So, don’t say those high-sounding words. Your hatred has destined our relationship.”
She strode forward, “Let’s go, I’ll take you to eat hot dry noodles. I know a place with a great taste.”
Meng Jingwei changed the subject, and the two no longer spoke.
Exiting the garage and walking eastward for two hundred meters, there was a shop selling red oil hot dry noodles, already open for business.
Meng Jingwei walked in and looked back at Xiao Cheng, “What do you want to eat?”
“Anything.”
“Oh.” Meng Jingwei didn’t ask further and said to the proprietress, “Two servings of red oil hot dry noodles, two bowls of tofu pudding, and two fried dough sticks.”
“Oh, okay. You two lovebirds are up early, hahaha, sit down, sit down quickly.”
The proprietress of the breakfast shop had seen Meng Jingwei eating breakfast there before, but rarely Qing Muye, so she subconsciously took Xiao Cheng as her husband.
Xiao Cheng remained silent; this was perhaps the relationship he had dreamed of.
Meng Jingwei couldn’t be bothered to explain.
If she told the proprietress that he was a friend, the proprietress would likely think that coming for breakfast together at five in the morning certainly wasn’t a purely platonic relationship.
In such situations, silence was the best choice.
The two walked to the side and sat down facing each other.
Meng Jingwei’s gaze involuntarily drifted to the proprietress who was scalding the hot dry noodles, and a past scene flashed in her mind.
At that time, she had invited Qing Muye for breakfast, and stingily bought him a tea egg and a cup of soy milk.
But when she treated Xiao Cheng to a meal, it was at a roadside stall, or even spending millions at a nightclub. For this, Qing Muye held a grudge for a long time.
In less than a year, they had become sworn enemies.
“I’m quite surprised. I thought you would tip off Qing Muye to catch me.”
Xiao Cheng interlaced his fingers on the table, a smile on his lips as he looked at her.
Even with the scar on his face, it did not diminish his good looks; instead, it added a mature aura of having weathered hardships.
“As you said, my wedding is approaching.”
Meng Jingwei shook her head, “I don’t want to court trouble.”
Actually, even if her wedding wasn’t approaching, Meng Jingwei wouldn’t have told Qing Muye if she saw Xiao Cheng.
She glanced at Xiao Cheng’s muscular physique, which stretched his shirt taut, indicating how hard he was working to improve himself.
Meng Jingwei couldn’t gauge Xiao Cheng’s strength and worried that if the two of them met, it would be a case of hurting a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred of their own, benefiting no one.
“Here, the hot dry noodles are ready.”
The proprietress brought over the double servings of hot dry noodles, soy milk, and fried dough sticks, and couldn’t resist complimenting, “Young lady, your husband is truly handsome.”
Being misunderstood again, Meng Jingwei was truly helpless and had to explain, “He is my friend, he just returned from abroad.”
“Ah? Oh, hahaha… I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I misunderstood.”
The proprietress looked embarrassed.
Meng Jingwei smiled knowingly, “It’s alright.”
“Then you enjoy your meal,” the proprietress said with a smile and left.
Seeing Xiao Cheng unmoving, Meng Jingwei said, “Hurry up and mix them, or they’ll get clumpy.”
“How long has it been since we last ate breakfast together like this?”
Xiao Cheng said as he mixed the hot dry noodles.
“Never!” she replied.
His hand, mixing the noodles, paused. “Yes, that’s right.”
Then, the two began to eat their breakfast in silence.
Xiao Cheng praised as he ate, “The taste is indeed good. I wonder if there will be a chance to come again in the future.”
“Perhaps.”
She replied perfunctorily, put down her chopsticks, and got up, “I’m going to the restroom.”
Having not slept all night and not had a chance to go to the restroom, she really couldn’t hold it any longer.
But by the time she came out of the restroom, Xiao Cheng was nowhere to be seen at their seat.
