"Tu Ying." Seeing me, Zheng Keer smiled amiably and brilliantly.

I didn't think that she would be here too, but I didn't show it on my face. I smiled at her politely, then said to Lou Shaotang, "I thought it was just the two of us."

Hearing her apologetic tone, I was stunned for a moment. I turned my head and saw her biting her lips and lowering her head, as though she was a child who had done something wrong. I was speechless. I didn't understand why she would apologize first. What did she do wrong?

Originally he was not angry, but now he was full of anger.

But I forcefully suppressed it, raised my smile that didn't care, and stared at Zheng Keer: "Oh really, what a coincidence."

I made a big question mark as to whether she really happened to be here on business.

Zheng Keer and I looked straight at each other. The light in her eyes was as clear as pure spring water without any impurities, and her smile didn't contain a single trace of guilt.

Am I wrong again?

"Have you ordered yet?" I asked Lou Shaotang as I withdrew my gaze from her face.

"Yes."

As soon as he said that, the waiter came to serve us.

The dishes were brought to the table. I looked and saw that most of them were Lou Shaotang's favorites, there wasn't a single one that I liked.

Just as he was wondering, Lou Shaotang called the waiter over, "Could I trouble you to add two more dishes for me. "A piece of steamed stone, and a palace eel."

Hearing him adding food, I immediately understood that this table was ordered by Zheng Keer.

Heh ~ Her memory is pretty good, she remembered every taste that Lou Shaotang had!

"I'm sorry, Tu Ying. You didn't come just now, I didn't know what you liked to eat, so I just randomly ordered a few, and thought you were not picky with your food."

Heh heh, she's disguised as saying I'm picky with food?!

Just as he was about to pretend that he didn't mind and say that it was alright, Lou Shaotang took the initiative to say: "She isn't picky with food, but she really likes those two dishes." After saying that, she turned her head to look at me with eyes as gentle as water.

The anger in his heart was immediately extinguished.

Zheng Keer smiled, and nodded.

As there wasn't anything that I liked to eat, my chopsticks had almost never been touched. When the two dishes were served, Lou Shaotang immediately scooped up a spoonful of eel meat and said, "You must be hungry, eat while it's hot."

I was used to him being considerate so I didn't say anything and just picked up the chopsticks to start eating.

Just then, he heard Zheng Keer say: "Shao Tang, why don't you eat this? Don't you like it the most?"

My heart skipped a beat, and I looked up to see her lifting up the plate of garlic broccoli in front of her, trying to match it with the Sandginger Chicken that was in front of Lou Shaotang.

Lou Shaotang quickly stopped her, "No need to switch. Tu Ying doesn't like the taste of garlic.

Zheng Keer's hand paused, "So it's like that." Looking at me, she placed the plate back in front of him again in embarrassment and looked at Lou Shaotang again, "Sorry, I don't know, I specifically ordered some."

Her tone was apologetic again, and I was annoyed to hear it.

"I'm fine." Lou Shaotang laughed unconcernedly: "Go ahead and eat."

"I don't like it either." "No," she said.

"You don't eat garlic either?" Lou Shaotang seemed to be very surprised.

Zheng Keer was surprised, her face pale white, she shook her head: "I don't like to eat broccoli." She stopped and pursed her lips as if she felt wronged, "Have you forgotten?" Her voice was low and tinged with sadness.

Lou Shaotang was startled, and did not say a word.

Obviously, he had forgotten.

The atmosphere was stiff, but my mood was great. I picked up a piece of fish for Lou Shaotang, "Hubby, try this, it tastes really good."

Lou Shaotang gave me a gentle smile, picked up his chopsticks, and ate the fish in his mouth.

"Oh right, Shao Tang, guess who I met today?" Zheng Keer's face suddenly lit up, "Joanna. The Polish girl who used to live next door to me when I was studying in England. "

Seeing Lou Shaotang squinted his eyes, as if he had carefully searched his mind, but he didn't seem to have any impression of his, she continued, "She once liked you, wore rabbit clothes, don't you remember?"

"Oh ~" With her reminder, Lou Shaotang suddenly realized something and asked suspiciously, "Why would she come to Seahold?"

"She said she was on a business trip. You say that it's a coincidence? " The smile on Zheng Keer's face widened, revealing her white teeth, "I didn't expect that we could meet again after ten years. It's really fated!"

Hearing her say that, my heart instantly felt uncomfortable. No matter how I listened to it, it seemed like those words were referring to herself and Lou Shaotang.

Perhaps it was because of the things that she had said that made Lou Shaotang laugh like her, "I remember."

"She thought we were married and asked how many children we had."

"Pa ~ ~ ~"

I slammed my chopsticks on the table.

Zheng Keer was shocked, and immediately went silent. She realised that she had said the wrong thing, and her face turned red from embarrassment, "Sorry, Tu Ying, I … …"

"I'm going to the washroom. You guys take your time." I interrupted her with a smirk and headed for the bathroom.

The smile disappeared as soon as he left the table. Actually, the reason why I slammed the table was not only because Zheng Keer ignored my existence and reminisced about my past with Lou Shaotang. It was possible that she said to marry Lou Shaotang on purpose. It was her final phrase, "child."

I wanted to escape.

If not for the car accident back then, Zheng Keer and Lou Shaotang would be like what their friends said, getting married and having children, enjoying the joy of death.

But now, I am afraid I am unable to continue Lou Shaotang's bloodline. But Lou Shaotang liked children, and Shen Yiru needed children.

As I thought about it, my tears started to flow down my face subconsciously. I quickly wiped them away, turned on the tap and washed my face, then took a few deep breaths in front of the mirror. After my emotions calmed down, I opened the door and walked out of the washroom.

"Wife." Seeing me come out, he immediately walked forward and held my hand. He revealed a worried expression and said apologetically, "Wife, Ke'er didn't do it on purpose. It's just that she was too happy to meet an old friend and forgot me momentarily."

Seeing that he was so nervous that he was afraid I would be angry, he purposely waited here to explain to me, feeling a little more ashamed of him.

"I know, I'm not angry." Forcing my heart between the sour, I raised a tolerant smile.

Lou Shaotang's expression relaxed suddenly, and the corners of his mouth curled into a smile, as he kissed the back of my hand, "I knew that my wife is very magnanimous, she would be able to support us even if she were to die."

Returning to their seats, everyone stopped talking about what had just happened in tacit understanding. Of course, my appetite was ruined by Zheng Keer, I did not touch the chopsticks again, and after a while, Lou Shaotang called the waiter to pay the bill.

"Shao Tang, you guys don't have to worry about me, I will take a taxi back." Exiting the dining hall, Zheng Keer said to Lou Shaotang. Her face was full of guilt, as if she was still blaming herself for saying the wrong thing.

Lou Shaotang turned and looked at me. I smiled and said nothing.

"Alright, be careful." "No," he said.

Zheng Keer was slightly surprised, "Alright. "Then I'll be going." With a gentle smile, she said goodbye and headed for the elevator.

She had only taken a few steps when she suddenly twisted her left foot and fell to the ground.

"Ke Er!" Lou Shaotang immediately let go of my hand and ran towards her.

"Ke Er, are you alright?" Unable to hide his worry, he grabbed her by the shoulders and helped her to her feet. Then he squatted down again to see if her leg was injured.

A hint of shyness surfaced on Zheng Keer's face, "I'm fine."

Lou Shaotang stood up, "Let me send you off."

"This …" Zheng Keer looked at me timidly. It was obvious from her eyes that she was afraid that I would be unhappy.

Lou Shaotang caught her gaze and also looked at me. His expression showed helplessness but also hoped that I would understand.

To be honest, I felt very uncomfortable looking at Zheng Keer who was so nervous just now, but she was a handicapped person who could not move easily. Furthermore, Lou Shaotang had already said that if I object or show displeasure to her, not only would I not give Lou Shaotang face, I would also appear to be too cold-blooded. Thus, I graciously smiled and said, "Yeah, Ke'er, we'll give it to you. Anyway, it's along the way."

"Alright, I'll be troubling you then." Zheng Keer said in embarrassment.

As soon as we got to the elevator, the elevator arrived. When the door opened, we saw a little girl in her thirties standing inside, crying. After crying for who knows how long, her small face was covered in tears and snot, making her look extremely sorrowful and heartbreaking.

Lou Shaotang quickly walked in and squatted beside her. "What's wrong, darling? Why are you crying? Where's your mother?" His tone was that of a coaxing child, and his manner was extremely gentle and affectionate.

I'm not surprised. Now, whenever he sees a child, his pace slows down and he stops occasionally to tease him.

It's just that when I saw him like this, I used to laugh that he was crazy about children and play with them.

Right now, I'm extremely sad.

Yeah, he was crazy about kids.

But I might have to disappoint him.

Hearing Lou Shaotang's question, the little girl looked at him. Although she did not stop crying, her crying sound was weaker than before.

Lou Shaotang's brows knitted. Just as he was about to speak, Zheng Keer had already walked to the other side of the little girl. He bent down and used a tissue to wipe the girl's tears, gently saying: "Darling, be good and don't cry.

Maybe Zheng Keer's voice was soft and gentle, and her smile was kind and harmless. The little girl immediately stopped crying when she saw her, and obediently answered: "Mommy and I were just together a moment ago, but then she suddenly disappeared."

Zheng Keer and Lou Shaotang looked at each other, before Zheng Keer asked again, "Where were you and mother just now?"

"Children's Paradise." After saying this, the girl started crying again.

Lou Shaotang immediately pressed the button for the elevator. I guess he must be on the fifth floor.

As expected, after pressing the button, Lou Shaotang said to the little girl in a soothing voice, "Darling, don't cry anymore. Uncle and Auntie will bring you to see Mommy right now."

"Of course it's true. Uncle never lies." Zheng Keer answered for Lou Shaotang and then carried the little girl.

The little girl did not know her place and hugged Zheng Keer's neck intimately like she was hugging her own mother. Zheng Keer had a very gentle smile and even kissed the little girl's cheek.

As I stood outside the elevator looking at the three of them, I had the sudden illusion that they were a happy family of three.

Staring at the closed elevator doors, I felt stiff and chilled.

Lou Shaotang actually forgot about me.

He and Zheng Keer left.
