“Sister-in-law, what a coincidence.” Chai Xiyang greeted Hai Xiaotang with a smile, completely disregarding Qiao Ning’s existence. “I didn’t expect to run into you here.”

Hai Xiaotang looked at him and Lin Xinxin, then said with a teasing smile, “Quite a coincidence, indeed. Are you two on a date?”

Chai Xiyang smirked unabashedly and did not refute it, “You can see it that way.”

“So you two are together.”

Lin Xinxin hurriedly defended herself, “Madam, Mr. Chai and I are just friends.”

Hai Xiaotang nodded, “Oh, so you’re just friends.”

At the same time, Qiao Ning, who had been tense, quietly let out a sigh of relief.

Chai Xiyang simply smiled and said nothing more, “Sister-in-law, enjoy your meal. We won’t disturb you.”

“Okay…”

The two returned to their seats. From start to finish, Chai Xiyang didn’t even acknowledge Qiao Ning, intentionally ignoring her.

Hai Xiaotang didn’t expect their relationship to be like this.

“Qiao Ning, isn’t he your older brother? But…” She couldn’t help but ask.

Qiao Ning seemingly brushed it off with a laugh, “Yes, he is my big brother. But, he dislikes me very much.”

“Wiry?”

“Maybe I’m an unwanted little sister…”

Hai Xiaotang understood what she meant and changed the topic, “Forget him, let’s continue eating. Qiao Ning, can I visit your school one of these days? I think I’ve forgotten what it looks like now.”

“Sure…” Qiao Ning nodded.

Even though they chatted throughout the meal, Qiao Ning was clearly distracted.

Later, after Chai Xiyang’s group left, Qiao Ning started to feel better.

However, when it came time to pay the bill, they found out that Chai Xiyang had already paid for them.

Hai Xiaotang laughed joyfully, “Perfect, we can use the few thousand we saved to eat something else, or go do something fun.”

Qiao Ning felt like letting go at the moment, she agreed enthusiastically, “Great, what should we do?”

“Let’s go watch a movie. I’ve never gone to the movies with a friend before!”

Qiao Ning fully agreed, “Me neither, I also want to watch a movie with a friend!”

Both of them had very few friends. Even if they had any, they were not from the same type or circle and rarely gathered privately.

Fortunately, their personalities clicked immediately. They had fun doing anything together.

Even their taste in movies was the same—they both loved romantic films. However, they specifically chose a particularly tear-jerking, emotional romantic film for the day.

They both also enjoyed buying a bucket of extra-large popcorn when watching a movie.

So the two hugged their respective buckets of popcorn, eating while watching, crying while watching, eating while crying…

By the end of the movie, both had cried their eyes out.

Walking out of the theater, Qiao Ning was still crying, “This movie was too heartbreaking, I feel so upset now.”

Hai Xiaotang nodded, “Me too.”

Qiao Ning, her eyes red, said, “Xiaotang, I have to go home. I had a lot of fun today, thank you.”

Hai Xiaotang, her eyes also red, “Me too.”

“Let’s hang out together again next time.”

“Okay!”

After bidding each other goodbye, Hai Xiaotang was about to head home as well.

She had driven out, so it was quick to get back home. On the way back to the villa, she ran into Dongfang Yu’s car.

Their two cars passed one another, both planning to turn at the same intersection.

Dongfang Yu, sitting in his luxurious and low-key Maybach, instantly spotted Hai Xiaotang’s garish pink and retro Beetle across the road.

The two large headlights at the front of the car, Dongfang Yu always thought they looked like frog eyes.
