In front of the service counter, a man and a woman were standing with their backs facing Su Wan and Lin Feiâer.
Li Peng, who was in casual clothing, was still handsome and gentle while Yang Xiaobing, dressed in a red dress, was leaning against Li Pengâs arm like a timid and lovable little woman. From time to time, she would tell Li Peng what she wanted to eat.
Yang Xiaobing was slender but her stomach had a bump. She stroked her slightly protruding stomach with her left hand and there was a joyful smile on her face.
Lin Feiâer had gone to Dong Chen for a long time and thought that she would be calm when she saw this scumbag and b*tch.
However, when Lin Feiâer saw Yang Xiaobingâs hand on her stomach, she realized that she would never be able to get past some things.
Why did she have to lose her baby while Yang Xiaobing could be here with Li Peng like a loving couple as if nothing had happened?
Lin Feiâer bit her lips bitterly. A baffling sadness ran from her heart to her limbs and bones.
She no longer had feelings for Li Peng but the baby she had lost during the car accident had been a thorn in her heart which she could not remove.
She didnât even know if the baby had been a boy or a girl. She had once racked her head to think of a name for the baby but in the end, the higher the expectation, the bigger the disappointment...
It would be better to have never known that the child existed and it would be better to have not met Li Peng.
However, there was no âifsâ in this world.
Lin Feiâer felt her heart being seized tightly by someone. She stared at the two people who were close to one another at that moment and felt pain in her eyes.
Lin Feiâer was in a trance. She seemed to have an auditory hallucination.
One moment, she heard Yang Xiaobing kneeling down in front of her and begging her, âSis Feiâer, I know you love me the most. Please give Brother Peng to me. Iâm a child without a father and know how bitter it is to not have a father. I canât let my child be fatherless.â
Another moment was Li Peng looking at her and murmuring repeatedly, âFeiâer, the person I love most is you. I donât want things to happen like this. Feiâer, I betrayed you but Iâll treat you well from now on. Letâs not divorce, okay?â
***
Heat arose in Lin Feiâerâs eyes. She tilted her face up and forced her tears back.
When Su Wan saw Lin Feiâerâs sorrowful look, she was extremely worried.
The heavens could prove that S City was not too big and not too small. If she were to know they would meet this couple at Yun Shuixuan, she would not come even if it was a free lunch.
Worry crept into Su Wanâs clear almond eyes. She asked carefully, âFeiâer, are you alright? Should we go to another restaurant?â
To achieve a 360-degree view without dead angles, Yun Shuixuan had no private rooms. Su Wan was afraid Lin Feiâer would have no appetite to eat when she saw Li Peng and Yang Xiaobing.
Although she had seen only their backs, she was already unhappy.
Su Wanâs voice was soft but one could feel her care and concern for Lin Feiâer through what she said.
Lin Feiâer shook her head faintly. She forced a smile to show that she was fine.
âItâs not necessary. Weâll just have our lunch here. Didnât you say to have seafood?â
They were all living in S City. Even if she could avoid them now, she wouldnât be able to avoid them for the rest of her life. Some things were better faced directly than avoided.
With heartache, Su Wan took a glance at Lin Feiâer. Then, just as they turned around to go to their seats, they heard a manâs startled voice which sounded joyful with a mixture of guilt.
âFeiâer, is it you?â
Lin Feiâer had only told Su Wan about her return. Even her parents didnât know about it.
Lin Feiâer was afraid of a slip of tongue because Li Peng would frequently disturb her parents although her parents had been shutting the door upon his face.
She didnât want to have anything to do with Li Peng anymore.
The sound of hurried footsteps was heard and Li Peng quickly came forward to block Lin Feiâer and Su Wan.
Li Peng only knew Lin Feiâer went abroad for a holiday but had not expected her to return so quickly!
Li Peng looked at Lin Feiâer steadily and in his clear eyes were surprise and shame.
Although Lin Feiâer had her hair cut short and looked skinnier than before, Li Peng could make out at one glance that it was her.
Ever since he and Lin Feiâer had gotten divorced, Li Peng knew he couldnât bear to part with her. Lin Feiâerâs name was imprinted deeply at the bottom of his heart.
Even if he saw Yang Xiaobingâs smiley face every day, Li Peng couldnât help feeling desolate. Every night, he would think of the scene of Lin Feiâer in a white dress being hit by the car.
She was like a beautiful white butterfly stained with blood. It was heartbreaking.
He had wronged Lin Feiâer and perhaps because of this, he did not marry Yang Xiaobing even when her stomach was more and more obvious.
He had been dragging and dragging as if dragging in this manner could wait for Lin Feiâer to change her mind.
With heartache, Li Peng looked at Lin Feiâer with eyes filled with care and concern, âFeiâer, youâre thinner now. Have you not been eating well?â
Yang Xiaobing stared at Li Peng and Lin Feiâer. She had not thought with the appearance of Lin Feiâer, Li Peng would leave her alone to go to that woman!
Lin Feiâer looked at the man in front of her. Her chest felt tight and a sharp emotion flashed through her mind, making it difficult for her to keep calm.
âExcuse me, youâre in my way.â
When Lin Feiâer uttered these words, she was indifferent and stoic, as if Li Peng was a stranger.
Li Pengâs heart was painful. He would rather have Lin Feiâer speak to him indignantly than look at him with cold eyes.
âFeiâer, listen to me, I didnât marry Yang Xiaobing...â
He didnât know why but he unconsciously blurted out this sentence.
When Su Wan heard Li Pengâs anxious explanation, she was taken aback. Almost immediately, she looked at Yang Xiaobing.
Yang Xiaobing didnât expect Li Peng to humiliate her like this. She twisted her red skirt in great embarrassment. She had a pathetic look, as if she could cry at any time.
Among those present, only Lin Feiâer was the calmest. Without looking at Yang Xiaobing, she looked faintly at Li Peng.
âHave you said enough? Could you please get out of the way?â
Now, whether he and Yang Xiaobing were married had nothing to do with her.
The thing that Lin Feiâer cared most about had been crushed on the day of the car accident.
Little by little, it had disappeared in the air, not leaving behind a single thought.
Li Peng had thought that Lin Feiâer would be more or less moved when he told her of his persistence but what he got was her indifference!
When Lin Feiâer turned to go, Li Peng was anxious. He grabbed her wrist and found that she had really lost a lot of weight.
Her wrist was so skinny that Li Peng could feel her bones.
âFeiâer, could you please give me another chance?â
