20 minutes later, we arrived at the place where Heng Heng was practising Taekwondo. As the coach was a retired athlete who had attended the Olympic Games before, the taekwondo dojo for children was the most expensive. The children who came here to study were either rich or noble.
In the past, he probably came here to accompany Heng Heng a few times. When they arrived, the staff respectfully and familiarly greeted Lou Shaotang, and a few parents also greeted him. Knowing that he had a high status, their attitudes were all flattering, but Lou Shaotang was extremely cold towards them.
It's not her fault that she would recognize me. Thanks to Zheng Keer, no one in the entire ocean didn't know what Mrs. Lou Shaotang looked like.
"This is the first time you've been here, right? I've never seen you before." The man didn't notice my embarrassment and went on.
Out of politeness, I replied, "It's my first time. I was rather busy before."
Hearing my words, she said with a face full of envy, "Director Lou is such a good man!" Turning his head to the right, he looked at the other parents who were seated in the same row as us and said, "Look at us, which one of us isn't a mother to accompany? It's as if the child belongs to us alone." Her tone turned into one of anger and complaint, "I always say I'm busy, without time, how can I be busy past Director Lou?! He was just finding an excuse and refusing to come! When we go back today, I will definitely teach him a good lesson and let him learn from Director Lou! "
I didn't know what to say, so I just smiled back.
But to be honest, Lou Shaotang is really good at this point, no matter how busy he is, Sutu will definitely be free to accompany me, unless something unexpected happens.
He thought that she would end the conversation, but she decided not to. She continued to speak: "Your Heng Heng doesn't look like you, but looks like the Director Lou."
When I heard that, my heart skipped a beat and I immediately smiled. "Yeah, his father's genes are stronger."
Just as I finished speaking, Heng Heng's voice suddenly came from the front, "Auntie, Daddy and I will be going in first."
He shouted very loudly.
Hearing Heng Heng calling her Auntie, the woman's mouth slightly opened, her face full of surprise. The other parents looked at each other in dismay.
I know that Heng Heng did this on purpose. He was standing very close to us, so he must have heard us. To be honest, I was embarrassed and slightly flushed.
Lou Shaotang who just came out of the locker room just happened to see this scene, and immediately walked in front of me, "Wifey, how about you go out for a walk, we'll call you when we're ready." His soft smile was etched with a look of heartache.
Knowing that he couldn't bear to see me embarrassed here, I happily replied, "Okay."
When I turned around and walked out of the room, I felt countless strange gazes shooting at me from behind, and my back felt like it was burning.
I went to the shopping mall on the side and bought a lot of Legos for Heng Heng, as well as some models for cars and cars. After buying everything, Lou Shaotang still hadn't called me yet.
Since it was Sunday and the cafe was crowded, the open seats on the first floor were all full. The waiter asked if I wanted to go upstairs to the private rooms, but I agreed with him as the minimum cost.
Unlike the noisy environment downstairs, the upstairs was especially quiet. The background music was a melodious and gentle piano piece. There were not as many tables as downstairs. There was a crystal screen separating each table. It was very private. With a cursory glance, I could see that only two or three tables were occupied.
The waiter led me to a table near the window, and after I sat down and ordered, I took out my phone from my bag. Just as I wanted to send a message to Lou Shaotang that I was here and would ask him to come over later, my gaze inadvertently shifted to the front, and a familiar face suddenly entered my eyes.
Qiao Chenfei!
I was surprised, didn't he go with the old man to the Dragon's Hidden Temple to pray for blessings, why would he be here?
Qiao Chenfei was lowering his head to operate his phone, it was unknown if he was sending a message or what he was doing, but he did not notice me.
I immediately got up and went over to him.
"Chen Fei." I stood in front of his desk.
Qiao Chenfei was startled for a moment, then suddenly raised his head, "Xiao Ying!"
His expression was full of surprise. He obviously didn't expect to meet me either, but there was a hint of nervousness in his surprise.
I was a little confused and asked him, "You didn't go to pray with the old man?"
Qiao Chenfei turned the phone upside down, the screen placed on the table, "I was busy, I didn't go." He then asked, "Why are you here?" He glanced around. "Alone?"
His expression was puzzled, and his tone sounded as if he was probing.
"Lou Shaotang will accompany Heng Heng to the Taekwondo classes, I will wait for them here." I tell the truth.
Probably because he had heard Lou Shaotang's name, Qiao Chenfei's face changed, and he frowned.
"What about you? You made an appointment?" I asked.
Qiao Chenfei was startled, "Oh, right."
As he said this, he seemed to remember something and immediately picked up his cell phone. Just as he was about to click on the screen, his gaze stopped right behind me.
Seeing that his face had suddenly tensed, and that he seemed to be shaking his head slightly, I turned my head suspiciously and saw a black figure disappear down the aisle so quickly that I couldn't see anything.
"Xiao Ying, do you really not mind at all?" Qiao Chenfei's words pulled my attention back to him, and I turned around, "What?"
"You really don't mind being a stepmother?"
Instead, he asked me this and, judging from his expression, I felt sorry for me. I pursed my lips and sat down on the seat opposite him.
"Chen Fei, if I hadn't miscarried, would you still have married me? are you willing to recognize Lou Shaotang's child as yours? "
"Of course!" Qiao Chenfei said without hesitation.
"Why?"
"Because I love you! I don't care about anything else! "
He was a little agitated, and then he realized at once why I had asked him that. His face darkened.
I nodded and smiled in agreement. "Yeah, because you love him deeply, you can accommodate everything about him, including his flaws and stains."
Qiao Chenfei self-deprecated the ground pull's lips, "Deep love." He mumbled as he slightly raised his head, and let out a breath that seemed to be filled with heartache, "That's right, you're right. Unfortunately, I don't even have the chance to be forgiving, and won't have another chance in my life. "
Hearing how he spoke in such a pessimistic and hopeless manner and still hadn't broken out from our relationship, I felt both guilt and heartache. "Chen Fei, there are some things I don't know whether or not I should say."
Qiao Chenfei took a deep breath to revitalize his spirit, "Speak, there is nothing between us that cannot be said."
I was silent for two seconds before I said, "Since Yvonne is pregnant with your child and she loves you so much, why don't you try to accept her? Maybe you can be happy."
"Impossible!" Qiao Chenfei immediately rejected his offer with a darkened face, "I won't be with her, we're going to get a divorce soon."
His tone was firm.
I was slightly surprised, "Divorce? Yvonne agreed to divorce you? "
I couldn't believe it. How could this be?
Yvonne refused to leave when she was not pregnant, but now she agrees. What kind of train of thought was this?
Qiao Chenfei pursed his lips, as if he didn't want to answer me. I couldn't help but ask, "Why would she agree? "What's going on?"
"Stop asking, you'll know in the future." Qiao Chenfei turned his face away, intending to avoid them.
"And the child? Knock it off? " I don't know if it's because I can't have a baby, but it's a pity to think that Yvonne might take the baby away.
"I don't know, she can do as she pleases." Qiao Chenfei asked indifferently.
The indescribable feeling in my heart should have made me happy that he was finally free, but my heart felt as if a huge rock had pressed down on it, and it felt extremely stuffy.
The phone in his pocket rang. It must be Lou Shaotang, I guess. When he took it out and saw that it was indeed him, he immediately flipped open the answer button and asked, "Are you all done?"
"Well, where are you?"
"I'm in the coffee shop opposite. Don't come over, I'll go over." I don't want Lou Shaotang to see Qiao Chenfei, so that they wouldn't be unhappy again.
"Alright."
After putting away the phone, I said to Qiao Chenfei: "I'm leaving." He stood up, and just as he was about to turn around, he called out to me, "Xiao Ying!"
I stopped and waited for him to continue.
Qiao Chenfei stared at me as he gulped down the blood in his throat, "Don't hate me."
His voice was hoarse and his eyes were deep and determined, as if he was suffering.
I was a little puzzled, but immediately understood that he was telling me not to hate his fight with Lou Shaotang. He shook his head with a smile, "No."
Walking out of the coffee shop, I received a message from Lou Shaotang that they were at the Western Restaurant on the top floor of the shopping mall, telling me to go directly there.
When we arrived at the dining hall, I saw that Heng Heng was seated right next to Lou Shaotang.
"Are you done ordering?" I placed a few bags of shopping bags on the seat beside me and asked Lou Shaotang.
"No, I'm waiting for you." Lou Shaotang pushed the menu towards me, "Take a look at what you want to eat, the steak here is pretty good."
"Alright, then we'll have steak." I didn't even look at the menu before I said directly. I looked at Heng Heng and asked him with a smile, "What about you, Heng Heng? Do you like steak?"
"I don't like it." Heng Heng said coldly.
I didn't know if he really didn't like it or if he said it intentionally, but I didn't mind. I continued to smile at him. She picked up the menu and handed it to him. "See if there's anything you like."
Heng Heng did not pick up. Lou Shaotang's face revealed displeasure, "Heng Heng." His tone was reproachful.
Seeing that Lou Shaotang was a little angry, Heng Heng unwillingly took the menu away from my hands. He used a lot of strength, the menu was new, the paper was very sharp, my finger was cut off, very painful. I glanced at it and saw that it was bleeding. I immediately held up my hands so that Lou Shaotang wouldn't see it.
After ordering, I took out the things I bought for Heng Heng, "Heng Heng, auntie just bought some models for you when I went shopping. See if you like it or not, I heard from the shop assistant that these are all the latest models from Japan."
Heng Heng glanced at him coldly, "I don't want to."
I expected that he wouldn't accept it, but I insisted on sticking my cheek to his cold butt. "Auntie bought it all, so I'll accept it."
Actually, he played, and he liked it, especially the racing car. There were a lot of things in his room, they were all bought for him by Shen Yiru and Lou Shaotang.
Seeing that he was deliberately making things difficult for me, Lou Shaotang's face sank, his chest rose up and down slightly, and the hand on the table also clenched into a fist.
Knowing that he was trying his best to suppress his anger, I immediately tried to ease the atmosphere. I said with a smile, "It's fine. If you don't like it, then forget it. I'll give it to someone else." Put your things back in the shopping bag. When the waiter came to serve us, I said, "The dishes are here. Let's eat."
She then gave Lou Shaotang a meaningful glance, signalling him not to get angry. Lou Shaotang's expression eased up. As usual, he took the steak in front of me and cut it for me. After I cut it, he habitually forked it and fed it to me.
"Is it delicious?" he asked me, his eyes as gentle as water.
"Yes." I smiled sweetly. "You try it, too." He forked a piece and fed it to him.
The stagnant atmosphere was gone, and he was happy again, and so was I.
After a while, Lou Shaotang got up and went to the bathroom while Heng Heng and I continued to sit at our seats and eat.
I looked up at him in disbelief. "What did you say?"
