Chapter 315: Chapter 315: Baba Joins the Crowd?

She glanced over and saw Xi Wanlin two tables away.

Xi Wanlin’s gaze was filled with resentment.

A pang of anxiety shot through Su Meixi’s heart.

She knew there was nothing wrong with having dinner with Li Hengze, but she read an ominous foreboding in Xi Wanlin’s eyes, related to Li Hengze.

Li Hengze and Wang Bing also turned to look.

Seeing Xi Wan and Lu Lei, Li Hengze’s expression changed instantly, but he said nothing, just silently continued to eat, quickly finishing his bowl of food.

“I’m full. You two beautiful ladies, take your time. I’ll leave first and we can arrange another time when I’m free.”

Su Meixi nodded her head.

Seeing Li Hengze getting up to leave, Xi Wanlin subconsciously stood up and wanted to follow, but was held back by Lu Lei.

“Linlin, you and he are already divorced!” Lu Lei reminded her.

Xi Wanlin was stunned for a moment, then sat down blankly.

Yes, she was no longer related to Li Hengze, and the Li Hengze of today was no longer the obedient little fatty she knew.

Her heart ached belatedly.

She used to think she didn’t love Li Hengze at all, but when he truly left, it hurt her like the ripping of flesh with each passing day.

It turned out that Li Hengze had long since taken up residence in her heart. To her, they were like family, he always indulged and spoiled her, making her believe that as long as she turned around, he would be waiting for her in the same place.

But there was no going back.

Watching Xi Wanlin’s desolate figure, Lu Lei suddenly felt very unhappy. He reminded Xi Wanlin again, “Linlin, are you still hung up on Li Hengze? Don’t forget, the man who is with you now is me!”

Xi Wanlin replied indifferently, “I’m sorry.”

Lu Lei hugged her tightly, “Linlin, the one who is with you now is me, I’m the one who loves you the most in the whole world!”

Xi Wanlin nodded, “I know.”

Seeing her like this, Lu Lei couldn’t help but clench his fists, wanting to vent his anger but not knowing where to direct it.

Wang Bing asked Su Meixi, “That woman over there, is she Ah Ze’s ex-wife?”

“Yes,” Su Meixi said, “Let’s not look at her. Let’s just finish eating and leave.”

“Okay.”

Li Hengze was no longer there, and they had almost finished their meal, so they left the restaurant.

“Ah Xi, how about we take another look on the second floor? Weren’t you planning to buy some bedding and stuff recently?”

Su Meixi replied, “I was planning to buy it online.”

“The stuff you buy online is never as good as what you get in physical stores. Without seeing or touching the items, I still prefer buying from brick-and-mortar stores. As for returns, when it comes to items for personal use, you should always get better quality ones.”

After pondering for a bit, Su Meixi said, “Alright, let’s go take a look.”

She was also ready to furnish her new home.

Having purchased a house at a bargain price today, Wang Bing was delighted. Having saved so much money, she wouldn’t skimp on furniture and bedding, instead choosing her favorites.

The two of them strolled and chatted.

Wang Bing pointed at a bright red comforter: “Meixi, do you want to take a look at this set?”

Su Meixi couldn’t help but laugh: “I’m not newly married, why buy something so red?”

Wang Bing laughed: “For the new house, shouldn’t it be festive? It also hints that your husband Gu Wei is a groom every night.”

“Stop teasing me, you’re annoying,” said Su Meixi. “It seems to me that you’re the one thinking about it. Divorced and lonely, you should find someone new soon.”

“I’m not that silly. I’ve just regained my freedom, plus living in the new house I bought by myself, I plan to really enjoy the single life.”

“…”

As they were looking, Su Meixi turned around and saw Xi Wanlin again.

Xi Wanlin’s gaze at her was like it was laced with poison.

Before Su Meixi could say anything, Xi Wanlin approached her.

“Hmph, you portrayed yourself as someone without desires, but in the end, isn’t it true that you want everything? The parents are yours, if you want to go back, then leave, but why do you eagerly cozy up to a man I don’t want? You really are cheap!”

Su Meixi looked at Xi Wanlin calmly: “I met Li Hengze by chance, there was no eager coziness on my part. As for the parents, I’m just going with the flow.”

“‘Going with the flow,’ huh? I don’t believe you really want to leave them behind. Weren’t you saying you were going to leave Yun City? Why haven’t you left? I bet you can’t bear to part with them. You really love competing with me; after snatching parents, you also want to snatch away a man. Why don’t you just change your surname to Xi?”

When Su Meixi was in Li City, she had heard from Li Hengze’s friends the reason for his divorce, so she responded lightly to Xi Wanlin: “Xi Wanlin, the situation today isn’t my fault, causing me trouble is useless. If you hadn’t arranged for someone to target me, the Xi Family wouldn’t have disowned you. If you hadn’t been unfaithful, Li Hengze wouldn’t have left you. You should take good care of yourself.”

Su Meixi hurriedly left with Wang Bing.

Wang Bing was unaware of the relationship between Su Meixi and Xi Wanlin and felt embarrassed to ask.

Since Su Meixi wanted to leave, she decided to go with her.

…

Soon after Su Meixi left, Lu Lei also arrived.

Seeing the back of Su Meixi leaving, Lu Lei couldn’t help but step in front of Xi Wanlin, reprimanding her: “Why are you causing her trouble again? Linlin, why can’t you see the reality of the situation? Is Su Meixi someone we can afford to provoke? Not to mention your foster parents side with her, and regarding her husband, the last time he came to my office, I was very frightened.”

Xi Wanlin glared at Lu Lei: “Just look at your spinelessness.”

“What spinelessness? Linlin, I know I don’t have Li Hengze’s family background, nor do I have Gu Wei’s status, but I love you,” he said.

Xi Wanlin was suddenly fed up with Lu Lei.

“Stop talking about this. I’ve already agreed to be with you, what more could you be dissatisfied with?”

Suddenly, Lu Lei held her shoulders: “Linlin, let’s get married!”

“Married?” Xi Wanlin had never thought about getting married.

“Yes, let’s get married. Let me take care of you openly and honorably, okay? Linlin, I swear, I will be good to you and the baby in your belly.”

Xi Wanlin said, “Let me think about it.”

“Linlin, look down there!” Lu Lei suddenly pointed towards the ground floor hall.

Xi Wanlin had no idea what was down there.

She just looked down, only to suddenly see the screen in the ground floor hall light up, with a big line of text: Xi Wanlin, please marry me!
