Shu Shu nodded. "En, that's good. It just so happens that I don't need to paint today."

When they arrived at the high-class Western Restaurant, it was probably because there weren't many people who came out from the heavy rain. Usually, it was difficult to book a place here, but there were still seats available.

"A couple set meal, hurry up."

"Ok, one moment."

Shu Shu looked at the other table. Most of them were young couples eating candlelight dinner with red wine. She smiled and said, "Hubby, why don't you have some red wine?"

"I'm not drinking anymore, I'm quitting."

"Really?"

"I really quit before you got pregnant."

"Tsk, we still need to drink from now on."

"Sometimes, drinking is something you can't help yourself with."

"I know, you have a lot of reasons."

The set meal arrived soon after. Shu was not picky with food, fruits and vegetables, and corn soup. Grandma had said that having children was hard work and required a lot of physical energy, so she had to make up for it. She also hoped that if she had a baby and loved someone, she would be willing to give him a baby.

Ling Qiao helped her intimately cut the steak. He liked her appearance the most. He had a direction, a goal, and a drive.

The phone on the table suddenly rang. When Ling Qiao looked at it, he felt his heart clench, and the blue screen displayed the three words "Tang Shuiqing". She hurriedly said, "Wifey, I'm going over to pick up an important call, it's a very important cooperation partner."

"Oh …" Shu Shu was puzzled for a moment, feeling nervous at Ling Qiao's nervous expression. This must be a very important customer, she thought.

Ling Qiao stood up and walked towards the washroom. Shu Shu's gaze fell onto the plate opposite his. She had been eating all by himself, but did not realize that Ling Qiao had not eaten a single bit. The beef had been cut open, but not a single piece was missing.

What happened to Ling Bai?

Ling Qiao walked to the bathroom and picked up the phone, "Hello, it's Qingqing again. What's the matter?"

"Qiao, that's great! I can leave now, I don't need a cane, I can leave now …"

"Is that so?" He was also very happy. "I saw that you were still struggling to walk when you recovered."

"Hehe, I've only walked a few steps, I just want to be the first to tell you."

"Take your time. I'll accompany you to recover tomorrow."

"Alright, then I won't bother you anymore. See you tomorrow."

"Goodbye." Ling Qiao silently took off the phone. Tang Thirty-Six was now able to walk, which was something worth being gratified by. He wished more than anyone else that she could live a good life. Three years ago, when she was in the most pain, he wasn't by her side.

However, this kind of call could never be found by ShuShu. He touched his cell phone screen and changed the name "Tang and Qing" to "Manager Tang.

He suddenly felt that he was truly shameless.

He walked out as if nothing had happened. "Alright, it's fine."

She smiled and said, "Hubby, even if you encounter any troubles at work, you still have to eat. Having children is not a matter for me alone, so you need to cooperate. You have already quit drinking and can't eat properly?"

Ling Qiao smiled. His little wife was becoming more and more like a housewife. She was even paying close attention to his daily life, "Just now, I was just worried about this phone call. Alright, everything's fine now, let's eat."

In the Tang residence, the family sat in the living room after dinner to watch TV and chat. Tang Ziqing was in a good mood as she accompanied her parents and grandfather, talking and laughing.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang. "It's already so late and the rain is still pouring. Who else is coming?"

His hair and clothes were all wet, and he wiped his feet clean on the carpet at the door before walking in. "Grandpa Tang, Aunt and Uncle, I'm really sorry for coming to disturb you so late at night."

Seeing that it was Li Changzhi, Chen Yong Hua understood the reason for his visit, and welcomed him with a smile, "Changzhi, this isn't a disturbance, it's trouble for you. Such a heavy rain and you still worry about it."

"Of course." Li Changzhi was always polite.

Tang Thirty-Six, who was still in the dark, looked at his mother and Li Changzhi and doubtfully asked, "Li Changzhi, you came to find me?" "What is it?"

Li Changzhi raised the plastic bag in his hand. "I asked my friend to bring a set of things in the United States. It's very effective for rehabilitation."

"What?"

"The ointment is applied externally, and this equipment is used to assist in recovery. As long as you sit down and put your foot on it, it will automatically move according to your condition and help you move your muscles and bones. Every time you walk, you can first stand on it for ten minutes, and when you walk, it will become very easy.

"You came in the rain just to give me these things?"

"Yes, I received a call from the courier in the afternoon saying that the goods had arrived, but the heavy rain needs to be delivered tomorrow. I was anxious and drove to get it. As soon as I got it, I would send it over to you."

Li Changzhi's hair was all wet, and water was dripping from his temples onto his jacket, but these were not important to him at all. Tang Thirty-Six was very touched in his heart. Li Changzhi had always liked her, and she knew it.

Because of the family business, Li Changzhi was brought by his father to the United States. At that time, Tang Thirty-Six had been thinking that this annoying fellow had finally disappeared, saving Ling Qiao from getting angry. After that incident, when she decided to leave, she went to America on the grounds that he wanted to be on the stage at Lincoln Center, and Li Changzhi wanted to court her again. In these three years, she had rejected him countless times. In her heart, he could not tolerate anyone other than Ling Qiao, but Li Changzhi did not show any signs of shrinking back.

Li Changzhi stayed for a while before he left. It was still raining heavily when he left.

Within the room, Tang Thirty-Six sat on the headboard of the bed, using the computer to browse through the photos. In her mind, there were too many beautiful memories that she couldn't forget, and every time she glanced through the photos, it felt like she was looking back at the past.

She was not a cold-hearted person. She clearly understood Li Changzhi's feelings, and at times, she was very touched. However, she also knew what she wanted. The person she loved was Ling Qiao, and she had never changed.

Knock knock knock. Knock knock. The sound of knocking came from the door. Outside, Chen Yong Hua asked softly, "Qingqing, have you slept yet?"

"No, Mom, come in." Tang Xiu put away his laptop.

Chen Yong Hua came in and closed the door as the mother and daughter whispered to each other.

"Qingqing, tell mom, are you still thinking about Ling Qiao?"

Tang Beiqing didn't have anything to hide from her mother. "Mom, you know why you're asking me …"

"Silly child, mom is worried about you. He's already married."

She smiled without fear. "I know."

"Then why haven't you given up yet?"

Tang Thirty-Six and Zhexiu looked at each other, not speaking for a long time.

From the moment she left T City, she had been looking forward to a day where she would return. She had waited and waited, day after day, year after year, and when she fell on the stage, she had silently vowed to herself that she would return, that she would return to Ling Qiao.

He told Chen Jiaxian on the phone, but he faltered on the phone and said it was not the time to come back, the president was still here. At that time, Ling Qiao would already be married. At that time, she didn't think too much and only thought that even if he wanted to come back, he would have to heal his foot wound and stand healthy in front of Ling Qiao.

However, at the same time, she also saw the news of Ling Qiao's big wedding. To be honest, she didn't feel much about it at the time, the bride, Liu Shu, was fat and ugly, and being in a rich and powerful family was something she had no choice in.

Then, as fast as she could get back to T City, before her feet could even walk properly, she rushed back from America in a frenzy.

After she came back, she discovered that the rumored Mrs. Ling on the internet was not real at all. The real Mrs. Ling was young and pretty, and Ling Qiao liked her a lot.

Heh, three years. Three years wasn't a long time, but it wasn't a short time either. After leaving for three years, I returned to find that everything had changed.

She could not believe that she had sworn that she would never marry another man in her life.

But, who could they blame?

She wasn't willing to give up. Why did the heavens steal her innocence? Why did they have to steal her lover? Without Ling Qiao, her world became dark.

She had a feeling that Ling Qiao still loved her, but at the same time, she felt that Ling Qiao loved his new wife even more. That little swindler who knew how to play tricks and scheme, easily dominated Ling Qiao's heart.

"Qingqing? Qingqing?" Seeing her in a daze, Chen Yong Hua called out to her.

"Huh?" "Mom, what did you say just now?"

"What I mean is, since Ling Qiao is already married, you should also consider other people. Give others a chance, and also give yourself a chance. I think that Changzhi is pretty good. I remember from the past, he really liked you."

"Is that so …"

"Yeah, but you only have eyes for Ling Qiao in the past, so you can't see Li Changzhi anymore."

But Mom, do you know, in my eyes, there's still only Ling Qiao. I can't see anyone.

"Mom, I can't force myself to like him. From the beginning, I didn't like Li Changzhi at all. It's still the same after so many years. How can I like him now?"

"Emotions can also be slowly developed. Women, the most important thing is to find a husband who loves them and loves them. You and Ling Qiao are fated to be together."

Fate was fate. Fate was such a strange thing. Could it be that there was really such a thing as fate? Or was it just the self-consolation of a lost person?!

"Women, 25 years old is a pass. To choose someone before 25 years old and to be chosen after 25 years old, you are 25 years old this year. After one year, a woman's youth is very precious. You can't waste it."

"Mom, I know, but there are some things that can't be forgotten just because you want to. They also need time."

"Then don't forget about the people who care about you. If you persevere by yourself, it will be extremely difficult if you don't get a response from them."

"Mom, don't say anymore. I already know, I know …"

Chen Yong Hui sighed, "Just say a few words and you'll find me nagging. Well, there are some things that can only be understood after experiencing it. I only wish for my daughter to be healthy and happy, then I'll be relieved."
