<strong>Chapter 545: Chapter 366: Ten Years Wasted, Full of Trials and Tribtions_1</strong>
The next day, the sixteenth of July, Nanxi left work early to go up to the top floor. She was going to meet Chen Juncai’s parents with her uncle and grandmother that evening, and she was waiting for Lu Yinchu!
In the office, Lu Yinchu was discussing matters with Mo Yan. Nanxi didn’t understand any of it, so she obediently walked over to the sofa and sat down. There was milk tea prepared for her, along with some snacks ced there.
Nanxi stuck out her tongue. Lu Yinchu was doing this because he obviously couldn’t leave yet and had to wait for at least half an hour. Although there was no issue with the time, he was the one who had prompted her toe early from work, and now she was kept waiting, what kind of joke was this!
Nanxi pouted. Over on the other side, Lu Yinchu finished discussing matters with Mo Yan. As Mo Yan was about to leave, Lu Yinchu stopped him, “I’ll drive Nanxi directly to the hotel tonight. You go to the Liang Family and pick up Grandma, Uncle, Aunt Mei, and Qiaoqiao…”
Mo Yan paused in his steps, then lightly uttered a sound of agreement before stepping out and closing the door behind him!
Nanxi, who was sitting at this side, started to sulk. Since Mo Yan wasn’t there, she didn’t need to maintain etiquette towards Lu Yinchu anymore. She cast a sidelong nce at him, “Hey, Lu Yinchu, you’re my husband, but shouldn’t you call my cousin, cousin too?”
Lu Yinchu cleared his throat, “…It’s a habit!”
“So, you need to gradually change this habit!” Nanxi picked up her milk tea and took a sip, “When you see my cousinter, remember to call her. I want to hear it!”
“…” Lu Yinchu, touched his forehead, calling Liang Qiaoqiao a cousin, well, that was difficult!
…
The encounter of both families indicated something significant. Liang Qiaoqiao was quite aware of it!
When it came to feelings, Liang Qiaoqiao had always felt that she was not a resolute person. From seventeen to twenty-seven, she had been loving someone for these ten years. But this love affair, from beginning to end, was her business alone, unrted to anyone else!
This was originally a one-sided love affair with no future in sight. In fact, she didn’t even know what the future meant.
Sometimes, she wondered if her ten-year stand for him was merely because of his obsession and infatuation for Lu Yinyue. However, now, he detested his own obsession and infatuation!
People can sometimes be contradictory. She wanted to love him, but if he stopped loving Xiaoyue, she would hate him on Xiaoyue’s behalf!
Two days ago, Chen Juncai’s parents returned to the country. Chen Juncai took her to pick them up from the airport, and she behaved appropriately, maintaining her smile from beginning to end!
When Chen Juncai introduced her, he said, “This is my fiancée, Liang Qiaoqiao!”
Chen Juncai’s father was a businessman. His manners and speech were not bad and he was fairly warm to Liang Qiaoqiao, but his mother was slightly cold.
Liang Qiaoqiao was not a fool, she could tell that Chen Juncai’s mother didn’t like her!
Both parties maintained theirposure during the meal. After dinner, Chen Juncai’s grandfather called them to return for a family dinner that night.
Liang Qiaoqiao had met the old man before, so she declined this meal!
She didn’t have to stick her nose into other families’ reunions. She did have some standards!
After parting ways with Chen Juncai’s family, Liang Qiaoqiao took a cab home. At the entrance of the neighborhood, the security guard stopped her. There was a parcel for her!
The moment Liang Qiaoqiao received the package, she paused. The strong font on the courier form was all too familiar to her. This package was sent by Mo Yan!
…
It was a red one-piece dress. The design was not thetest, but the dress was new as the price tag was still intact!
From the looks of it, the size was slightly small. She doubted if she could squeeze into it at all!
Her eyshes fluttered as she picked up the note inside and read it!
It was that unforgettable handwriting once again: This dress is what Xiaoyue bought on her 19th birthday. She bought two, one blue and one red. She said that the red one was like a ming dream, seductive and fantastical, and suited you pretty well. But she didn’t have the chance to give it to you…Now, I’m giving it to you on her behalf! And wish you: Happy engagement!
The dress was a bit tight when she put it on, but she somehow managed to squeeze into it.
Looking at herself in the mirror, Liang Qiaoqiao vaguely thought of her neen-year-old self eight years ago. She had thought that many things had changed over eight years. The person wearing this dress now was not the youthful Liang Qiaoqiao of back then.
She had grown from a girl into a woman, from a naive version of herself in understanding love, to the current age of despair despite nearing her engagement ceremony.
