Song Yuanxiâs face was completely red . Her eyes red, she lowered her head . After hearing what Xia Yehua had to say, she hurriedly said, âAuntie, he wouldnât lie to me . â
âHave you met him before? Do you know how he is in real life? Yuanxi, you were so obedient when you were young, but now⌠you make others worry way too much! No, I will never let you meet him . â
âAuntieâŚâ A doe-eyed Song Yuanxi raised her head and widened her eyes . She looked pleadingly at Qiao Lian and said, âAuntieâŚâ
Before she could finish pleading, tears rolled down her face . âWhat I have with him is true love, so Iââ
She cupped her mouth and lowered her head . For someone who had always been good-tempered and gentle, at this moment she was being surprisingly stubborn .
Qiao Lian looked at her .
She suddenly remembered her past self .
She had agreed to meet Zi Chuan in Beijing and bought airplane tickets, intending to fly there . However, her mother disapproved immensely of her decision and had said similar things to what Xia Yehua had just said .
How had her past self handled this situation?
She had irritatedly said, âMom, Zi Chuan wouldnât lie to me . â
When she said this, she had been exceptionally insistent and exceptionally confident .
Just like how Song Yuanxi was behaving now .
Xia Yehua pointed at her and said, âYou have only known him for a couple of days and you already want to meet him?â
âAuntie, you were the one who said that online romances were unreliable . Therefore, we decided to meet each other, so that this romance wouldnât exist exclusively online and would move forward . â
âNo! Definitely not! You know nothing about this man . If you go over, meet him and get conned in the process, do you know how sad youâll be?âSong Yuanxi bit her lip, feeling extremely wronged .
Xia Yehua patted her chest and said, âYouâll be the death of me!â
Song Yuanxi immediately walked over and patted her back, saying, âAuntie, please donât be angry . I promise I wonât go . â
She was so obedient that any outsider would feel compassion and heartache on her behalf .
As Qiao Lian and Shen Liangchuan stood on the side and watched, their feelings became even more complicated .
Many online romances failed once they transitioned into the physical world .
However, Song Yuanxi had a decent appearance, thus she was unlikely to be given the cold shoulder .
Qiao Lian pursed her lips and suddenly said, âMom, let her go . âAs she finished speaking, Song Yuanxi joyfully raised her head .
Xia Yehuaâs entire body froze .
Shen Liangchuanâs gaze also fixated on Qiao Lian .
Qiao Lian smiled and said, âItâs normal for Yuanxi to meet her friend . If you are still worried about her, Iâll accompany her to the meeting . â
Xia Yehua frowned and was about to speak when Shen Liangchuan said, âShe is already an adult after all, so she should be able to decide some things for herself . â
Xia Yehua took a deep breath after hearing this and said, âFine, fine . Iâll stop minding about your teenage issues! I donât care anymore, just go!â
Song Yuanxi immediately became excited and said, âAuntie, youâre the best!â
Then, she rushed upstairs .
Qiao Lian could already tell what she was doing upstairs even without following her . She was probably picking out the clothes and accessories that she would be wearing⌠just like her past self .
Her past selfâŚ
After convincing her parents at their home, she flew to Beijing all by herself and excitedly went to meet Zi Chuan .
She had prepared so many things just to meet him .
She had practically brought every piece of beautiful clothing she owned with her . Thus, she dragged a large suitcase along with her .
At the hotel, she tried out many outfits before finally deciding on one .
After she was satisfied with how she looked in the mirror, she went out and hailed a cab . She then headed to the agreed location .
She arrived two hours early at the agreed-upon cafe . Therefore, she managed to find a good spot to sit down . There, she waited for him silently .
