Chapter 80

The first time he had dreamed of her, he had been taken aback.

He had always been a loving person, not to mention that their marriage was not what he had wished for. Thus, regardless of whether it was the coldness or hurt from the marriage, or the fact that he had casually abandoned her, he only felt a little guilt in his heart.

After getting divorced, he brought Man Jun out of the country, but his heart never rippled, but from time to time, when he called out Man Jun's name, he almost blurted out a name, "Jingwen".

After that, he got used to it after a while as he never thought of Fu Jingzhi's name again.

However, occasionally, she would dream about her. In her dreams, she would remain the same as always, sitting in one of the houses in A city's Meng Family. There was a book in her hand by the west window of her study.

They were so close in their dreams that he could almost see the long quiver of her eyelashes, the faint dimple of her lips, but when he tried to approach her, her features blurred.

The grass was becoming more and more blurry.

Like a wisp of misty smoke, it was about to disperse and slip away from between his fingers.

The west window was empty, not her.

He woke up from his dream. In the dark night, he went to the balcony by himself and smoked a pack of cigarettes. Within his body, there seemed to be a part. With a faint throbbing pain, he inhaled the choking smoke into his lungs, hiding the shallow pain.

If he had ever done anything in his life to regret it, he might as well marry her.

If there was anything in his life that moved him, it might have been when she rushed towards him to save him.

If he had ever been afraid in his life--

Then.

Perhaps it was the moment in Hainan when he saw her almost dead.

Meng Shaoting laughed bitterly and extinguished his cigarette, raising his head and looking at the Los Angeles night sky.

The lights of the city obscured the radiance of the stars. The night sky here was not as enchanting as in A City, and the most enchanting night in A City seemed to be the day when it snowed.

So much time had passed, but he could still clearly remember her making snowmen, writing on the snow, and his elder brother's appearance. He could also remember him taking away the buttons on her windbreaker.

He didn't even know why he took a button from her and even brought the ordinary button to travel across the ocean to this place.

Sometimes, he would think about his divorce, but he would laugh at himself in his heart.

No matter how noble or noble a woman was, she would lower her head in the face of reality.

He had originally divorced her out of guilt towards her, so he had perfectly arranged everything for her. However, he hadn't expected that she would use such a method to obtain a cheque worth five million yuan.

Thinking about it after the event, he blamed himself for not using any safety measures to selfishly give her hope, so she abandoned her child. Although he was angry, he didn't do anything to hurt her, he only went far away and never wanted to see her again.

He had thought of this kind of ending before. It was just that no matter how hard he tried, he thought it was a good plan, but in the end, he still made a mistake.

He ignored her influence on his subtlety, ignored that she was already in his heart.

He had even forgotten that she was actually like an iron sandalwood that had been buried deep within the earth for a thousand years, and that a wisp of delicate fragrance was wantonly entangling her. He had been around him for four whole years, but he still had not stopped.

Meng Shaoting took the car and drove towards the company. When he left four years ago, his focus had shifted to Los Angeles, and when the car drove away for a distance, he stabilized his train of thought that was about to escape from his grasp.

He was already with Man Jun, he shouldn't have been thinking about others like this.

Furthermore, they had been together for four years, and they were already engaged to be married. There was no longer any possibility for them to be separated.

Meng Shaoting looked at the road in the distance with his pitch black eyes. The road was bustling with people coming and going, it was so lively and he did not know why, but he felt a sense of loneliness.

Zhi Zhi sat in a tiny coffee shop, feeling a little uneasy.

The cup of coffee in front of him was the cheapest kind, but Zhi Zhi was holding it with both hands and sipping it carefully.

The aroma of coffee was something one could only smell in their dreams. She used to love coffee so much, watching over the small coffee machine by herself and making two mocha cups. It was the most romantic afternoon of all. At that time, she had never thought that there would be a day when she would be holding a cup of coffee so light that it almost didn't taste like coffee.

Seeing her like this, he didn't feel any heartache at all. He was afraid that she would order another glass of orange juice. The orange juice here wasn't expensive, but one glass was worth at least ten yuan. If Aunt Zhang hadn't introduced her to a blind date this time, his mother wouldn't have generously given her the money to buy a drink with Aunt Zhang.

"You know, this person that Aunt Zhang introduced to you, although he's married, he still has an official job, and he even has a house in the city. If he wasn't in a hurry to find a wife to take care of the children, the requirements for the woman's position wouldn't be too high, but it's not your turn."

Aunt Zhang drank her drink, then softly began to narrate the long story again.

As Zhi Ming sat there with his head down, his face was slowly turning red. He gently bit his lower lip with his teeth until it turned white. Feeling the pain, he slowly let go.

"Aunt Zhang, I know, I won't choose."

Zhi Zhi asked softly, slightly raising her head to look outside the door. As long as someone was willing to marry her, her mother would be extremely happy. It didn't matter whether she liked him or not, or whether his conditions were bad.

"Ai, as long as you know, you know. Little Chen, pay attention to what you have to say later …"

Aunt Zhang looked at her with a strange expression. She knew what she meant and blushed even more. She was afraid that she would scare him away with her words.

"Aunt Zhang, don't worry. I'll listen to anything you say."

Knowing that she was flustered, Aunt Zhang smiled in satisfaction. While laughing, she suddenly patted her head. He stood up and said, "Hey, you know, Little Chen is here!"

There weren't many people outside the coffee shop, but after searching for a while, he still couldn't find the person described by Aunt Zhang. It wasn't until there was a lowly, very old man leaning on a simple walking stick that Zhi Ming finally reacted …

The man in front of her was over fifty years old with a deformed left leg. It was exactly the "Little Chen" whom Aunt Zhang had mentioned that had a very good condition.

"Aiya, Little Chen, why aren't you letting him sit down even after knowing about this?" Aunt Zhang passionately called out, put that man's walking stick aside, then sat down beside Zhi Ming.

"Aunt Zhang …" She knew that she was about to cry. Her large eyes were filled with tears as she looked at Aunt Zhang, but Aunt Zhang only had a smile on her face. The flower flew away like the wind.

"Little Chen, why don't you and the others have a nice chat. I won't disturb you guys by leaving first." Before he could finish his words, he had already run off without a trace.

Zhi Ming's entire body suddenly tensed up. He tried his best to hide in the corner, not wanting to be near that person.

The smell on his body was very unpleasant, and his eyes were staring straight at her without even blinking.

He knew that he had the right to dress up a little today, but he had only taken a bath. He changed into half-worn clothes that he normally didn't wear, and his hair was neatly combed, and he had a bit of cheap skincare products on his face. However, he still looked delicate and pretty.

"You just know, you look so much better than what Aunt Zhang said!"

That man fart. A sour smell that assaulted his nose assaulted him. He almost vomited, yet he held it in with all his might, desperately trying to hide himself even further.

"I am very satisfied with you. How about this, if you have no objections, we will settle this matter next month. I've heard all about you. I'm willing to take your fortune on conditions like yours. 'Mother! ' You still need to raise your family, right? Looking for an official job like me to carry the country's rice bowls, that's like a pie dropped from the sky. Don't look at me with my legs broken. I won't mistreat you. Besides, I still have a house in the city, and based on your current reputation, you should be better off than me. Heh, let me tell you, that was simply a dream! "To be honest, if it wasn't for your appearance that's good, I wouldn't even consider you …"
