Chapter 1185 - 1185: Just One Truthful Sentence

Although Xiao Feng found it strange, he knew it must have been Wang Tingwei's response that made Pei Dengke so overreact.

But what exactly did Wang Tingwei send to Pei Dengke?

Could it be a three-dot photo?

At that moment, a man in his thirties at the next table asked Pei Dengke, "Hey buddy, what's up with you?

Did our national football team break out of Asia?"

Before he finished speaking, his tablemate replied, "Nah, even if they did break out, they'd only take a couple of steps before stopping short of the finish line.

Let's not pay attention to that, drink up, drink up."

"Well, you can't say that, breaking out is progress, what if they win a world championship?"

"Haha, it's not much more likely than me winning ten million in the lottery."

"You... okay, you're right!"

Listening to the conversation at the next table, Xiao Feng couldn't help but sigh internally and suddenly remembered a famous line of poetry.

The day our football team breaks out of Asia, don't forget to tell your old man at the family altar!

No, that's not right!

The focus was wrong...

Seeing the looks from those around him, Xiao Feng pulled Pei Dengke back to his seat and whispered harshly, "Listen, if you suddenly jump up one more time, I'm buying a ticket back to Jiangcheng right now!"

Upon hearing this, Pei Dengke panicked, "No, no, no, boss, I was wrong, I'll control my emotions, that was just an accident, I really couldn't hold back."

"Alright then, what exactly did Wang Tingwei send you?" Xiao Feng asked impatiently.

Pei Dengke hurriedly showed the screen of his phone to Xiao Feng, displaying his chat with Wang Tingwei.

Wang Tingwei: I can't tell you where I am, but I know where you are.

Pei Dengke: Really? Then Weiwei, tell me, where am I now? (Playful emoji)

Wang Tingwei: You... have always been in my heart, never far away! (Three hearts)

After reading this brief chat, Xiao Feng understood why Pei Dengke lost his composure, and once again felt genuine admiration for Wang Tingwei's "tea art."

In terms of "conversation skills," this was not particularly sophisticated.

The real terror was this woman's skillful control over the "prey's" psychology, it was impeccable!

Xiao Feng thought about it, feeling that if he hadn't gotten involved, Pei Dengke might have had to wait years, or even forever, just to reach the "confession" stage.

Just then, Wang Tingwei sent another message, this time a long one.

Pei Dengke and Xiao Feng both read it, each harboring different feelings as they looked at the text.

"I'm sorry Dengke, I lied to you!

I never wanted to tell you about my background because... honestly, it's due to low self-esteem.

In terms of family background, upbringing, social status, I'm not a match for you.

The gap between us is like the prince and Cinderella in a fairy tale.

So, I never dared to be honest with you, I'm afraid... afraid that once I confess, I would lose you.

Two months ago, with a sense of insecurity, I decided to travel.

This journey helped me understand my feelings.

Every beautiful sight I saw, every delicious meal I tasted, I wanted to share with you.

Every time I felt sad, I thought of you; every time I felt happy, I still thought of you!

You were never by my side, but you were everywhere.

That's when I realized, unconsciously, you have already taken root in my heart, becoming the indelible only one in my life!

Dengke, if you can forgive me, I'll come to you.

If not...

Then please delete me, I will never disturb you again, and I hope you forget about this liar!"

Xiao Feng, who finished reading the message first, couldn't help but feel the urge to laugh.

Judging by the whole message, apart from the very first sentence, there's a good chance every other word is a lie.

As for Pei Dengke, after reading it, he instinctively began to get up from his seat, looking like he was about to jump again, but fortunately, he caught sight of Xiao Feng's look and sat back down.

However, Pei Dengke, who didn't jump up, seemed to have some sort of hyperactivity, wriggling on his seat, with his grin stretching to the back of his head.

"If you want to laugh, just laugh, don't suppress your emotions." Xiao Feng couldn't stand watching any longer and said.

Pei Dengke shook his head repeatedly, filled the two glasses on the table, raised a glass and said, "Boss, come, let's drink!"

Xiao Feng raised his glass, clinked it against Pei Dengke's, and said with a genuine smile, "Congratulations, happiness is already waving at you!"

"Thank you, boss!" Pei Dengke thanked and drank the wine to the bottom.

Xiao Feng also drank his wine, showing a genuinely happy expression.

From the message Wang Tingwei just sent, it's not hard to see that she seems to be getting impatient.

As long as she and Pei Dengke finally meet...

While he was thinking this, Pei Dengke suddenly shouted towards the shop, "Two more bottles of white wine, and make it the most expensive and the best!"

After shouting, he looked at Xiao Feng with an uncontrollable smile and asked, "Boss, what should I reply next?"

"Do you really need me to tell you?" Xiao Feng said with a tone of hating iron for not becoming steel: "Of course, choose to forgive her, duh."

"Haha, that's what I was thinking too." Pei Dengke chuckled, picking up his phone to reply to Wang Tingwei.

The tables nearby, being close enough to overhear their conversation, couldn't help but exchange glances, imaging a grand drama unfolding...

Soon, a woman with a demeanor resembling an old bawd from earlier came over with two bottles of white wine, smiling broadly, "President Pei, President Xiao, I'm sorry to keep you waiting, the first course is ready."

With that, she placed the white wine on the table and stepped aside.

A chef in a white outfit, wearing a white hat, came out from the shop holding a large platter, placing it on the table next to the peanuts and edamame.

The chef gave a polite bow and explained, "This is our restaurant's specialty dish, spicy diced chicken.

The main ingredients are chicken breast from a three-month-old free-range chicken, water chestnuts, pickled peppers, eggs, and starch.

The additional ingredients include lard, soy sauce, and broth..."

The chef continues to introduce the main and additional ingredients of the dish, as well as the cooking process, taste, and characteristics, with enthusiasm.

Although Xiao Feng and Pei Dengke nodded from time to time, as if seriously listening, their minds were elsewhere.

At this moment, the issue concerning both of them was surprisingly the same.

Which was—when can they meet Wang Tingwei?

However, just then, a girl with a long ponytail, wearing an apron, looked rather plain and appeared to be under twenty, came out from the shop carrying a pot of fish soup.

As she walked towards a table that ordered fish soup, she curiously glanced over at the chef, soon finding it hard to look away, even her steps paused.

"Uncle Xiao?" The girl's eyes lit up, she murmured.

She froze in place, staring at that familiar profile not far away, a line inadvertently echoed in her mind.

"The world is big, but also small, if there's fate, we'll meet again..."

In her dazed state, her hand slipped, and the pot fell to the ground, shattering.

"Crash!"

The sound of breaking snapped the girl out of her daze; she then let out a painful yelp, "Ah!"
