When Love Turns the Tables: The Mysterious Husband's Chase
Chapter 1449: Discussing Marriage (Part 4)
With these feelings, she returned to her room, took a shower, and went to sleep. Before sleeping, Xiao Rou received a message from Zhou Qi, just two simple words: Good night.
They weren’t far apart, so texting was really unnecessary, but looking at those two words on her phone, Xiao Rou couldn’t help but laugh.
Is this what love feels like?
This was a thrill she had never experienced in her previous relationships.
After a good night’s sleep, the next morning, Xiao Rou went to the tea shop. Maybe it was because of her good mood, she felt the business at the tea shop was doing much better.
Near noon, Xu Qingqing came to the shop, and as soon as she tied on her apron, she asked, "Rourou, what exactly does your boyfriend do?"
"He’s an e-sports player, why?"
"Oh, oh, nothing, just asking casually."
Xu Qingqing said as customers arrived, and Xiao Rou didn’t ask more, busying herself with work at hand.
Until six in the afternoon, Zhou Qi arrived punctually to pick her up. Zhou Chengchen had returned; they had plans to eat together today. Like yesterday, Zhou Qi parked the car by the roadside in front of the tea shop and waved at Xiao Rou after getting out of the car.
Xiao Rou tidied up and went over, and the two quickly left. Xu Qingqing watched her leaving silhouette, her gaze somewhat meaningful.
To save time, the four of them arranged to meet at a location that was right in the middle of Xi Siyan’s company and Zhou Qi’s team’s headquarters.
But even so, the traffic in B City was frustrating; by the time Xiao Rou and Zhou Qi arrived, it was already an hour later.
However, Xi Siyan and Zhou Chengchen were just arriving as well.
Zhou Chengchen chose the place, a self-service barbecue. The two men went to the grill, while Zhou Chengchen and Xiao Rou enjoyed the services at their seats.
"Little Rou’er, our wedding date is set; you have to be my bridesmaid."
Xiao Rou smiled and nodded, "Of course."
"Sigh, actually, just imagine how great it would be if we both got married together. My brother has liked you for so many years, no idea what he’s thinking, actually rejecting this suggestion."
Zhou Chengchen complained indignantly, Xiao Rou thought of the explanation Zhou Qi gave her last night and smiled. That explanation, of course, she wouldn’t share with Zhou Chengchen, although it was nothing much, it was a secret between her and Zhou Qi.
While the two were talking, Xi Siyan’s phone rang on the table.
Zhou Chengchen casually picked it up, expertly unlocking it, but upon glimpsing the message, her face changed. Xiao Rou was startled by the sudden change: "What’s wrong?"
Xiao Rou was well aware of Xi Siyan’s situation. They had been friends for years, and Zhou Chengchen was even her confidante, so at that moment, Zhou Chengchen didn’t hide anything from Xiao Rou and directly showed her the message on the phone.
The message was from someone noted as "Xi," expressing a wish to meet Xi Siyan the following afternoon.
Xiao Rou somewhat guessed who the sender was, but this sudden message left her unclear about what was going on.
"The Xi Family is still pestering him, huh."
Xiao Rou didn’t ask, but Zhou Chengchen started to explain.
She had known before that the Xi Family wanted Xi Siyan to return; however, that was months ago, and she thought Xi Siyan had dealt with it. Little did she expect that they were still lingering.
Zhou Chengchen’s eyes shifted: "Little Rou’er, are you free tomorrow?"
