Chapter 51 It turns out that she waited for a long time that day

"Sir, we're closing."

Shi Wang waited until the evening, and the guests around him moved to different tables one after another.

He even ordered a table full of food to prevent the waiter from kicking him out.

Whenever the waiter came over, he would place a new order, and in the end the boss was too embarrassed to send anyone over to urge him.

So Shi Wang has stayed here until now, and he is the only table of guests left in the entire restaurant.

The young waiters have changed back into their daily attire and are talking in groups about tonight's New Year's Eve activities.

The lights in the restaurant gradually dimmed, making Shi Wang's thin and lonely figure stand out even more.

"Um."

The sudden stop of the heating made Shi Wang pull his coat closer and take a deep breath.

"Pay my bill."

He was already handsome, and now that he was closer, he caused the girls to secretly exclaim in surprise.

The little girls were whispering to each other, and one of their voices made Shi Wang freeze in his tracks as he was about to leave.

"Alas, Xiaowan, how come so many infatuated men and women in this world are not cherished?"

"I think it was at this location last Christmas. There was a lady as beautiful as this gentleman, and she also waited for a long time..."

The waiter sighed softly and carelessly, but it stirred up a huge wave in Shi Wang's heart, which was already trying hard to remain calm.

"What did you say?"

He turned his head in shock, his voice trembling slightly.

At the same time, Wang's heart unconsciously recalled the scene of Christmas Day.

It seemed that Jiang Wanning had indeed asked him to have dinner with her that day, and it was because of Xu Moli.

But what did he do?

He canceled the appointment without even saying hello, and even when Jiang Wanning called to ask about it, he was so upset that he scolded her.

So that day, Jiang Wanning was just like him today, alone here, waiting for him for so long?

But what did he do to her?

“…”

The moment he received the waitress's affirmative response, an overwhelming feeling of regret almost overwhelmed him.

Shi Wang did not stop. The moment he learned the truth, he rushed out of the restaurant as fast as he could and drove to the Shenzhen airport.

He must find Jiang Wanning back.

And Jiang Wanning can only be his!

…

At the same time, at the airport in City A, Singapore.

"Goodbye, Ningning. You must remember to think of me."

Su Xu was standing in front of the boarding gate for returning home, holding Jiang Wanning's arm with reluctance in his eyes.

"Really? It's all my dad's fault. If he hadn't pushed me so hard, I would have stayed here for a few more days before going back."

"Okay, it's not like we won't see each other anymore. You're making it sound like we're parting forever." Jiang Wanning felt helpless and amused.

"Once my work here is stable, I can go back anytime I want."

"Okay, then we have a deal. You must remember me, your eldest daughter-in-law!"

Just as the two were talking, the boarding notice came over the airport broadcast.

I watched Su Xu look back every few steps and reluctantly get on the plane.

Jiang Wanning looked at her gradually disappearing figure, shook her head helplessly, and turned to leave the airport.

It was already half past ten in the evening, and she drove to a nearby shopping mall.

Jiang Wanning originally wanted to buy herself some clothes for her new company the next day. When she walked out of the mall with her things, she happened to hear someone proposing in the music square.

In a foreign country, the lively cheers from the crowd made Jiang Wanning stop and stand there in a daze.

She suddenly remembered that it was about three years ago today.

She and Shi Wang seemed to have experienced the same scene.

At that time, their relationship had just evolved from strangers to ambiguous, so they made an appointment to go to a nearby Internet celebrity restaurant for dinner together on New Year's Eve.

After dinner, bursts of exclamations were heard from the bustling square. A couple who had been together for many years got married under the envious gaze of everyone.

Also influenced by their happy atmosphere, Jiang Wanning, who had been pursuing Shi Wang for several days, finally plucked up the courage for the first time and held the latter's hand.

Even now, Jiang Wanning can still recall the surprised look in Shiwang's eyes when he looked at her that day.

There was surprise, happiness, and complexity, but the only emotion not there was rejection.

Jiang Wanning thought that Shi Wang might have been attracted to her for a moment at that time.

It was also from this day that the two of them confirmed their relationship, and Jiang Wanning also went from being cautious at the beginning to being more and more willing to test the waters.

It was not until Xu Moli appeared that her dream called "happiness" was completely shattered.

Jiang Wanning stood by the fountain, collected her thoughts, and laughed at herself. Just as she was about to leave, the children playing nearby suddenly bumped into her without noticing.

The sudden impact caused Jiang Wanning to uncontrollably take a half step back, but the expected fall did not happen. Instead, she leaned on a warm chest.

"Ningning, be careful."

The familiar voice made Jiang Wanning turn her head in surprise, and she met Xie Yanchuan's deep eyes.

"Xie Yanchuan? Why are you here?"

Xie Yanchuan has been very busy with work recently, and the two have not seen each other for some time since their last conversation in the small town.

Jiang Wanning once thought that this person regretted his decision and simply disappeared, but she didn't expect to meet him here.

In such an occasion, in such an intimate posture.

It was really weird, even a little embarrassing, but Xie Yanchuan seemed to be unaware of it.

He just met Jiang Wanning's sparkling eyes, and curled his lips in a good mood: "I came here with my aunt, and Fang Qiu too."

Xie Yanchuan has always disliked attending such occasions. In addition, he has been exhausted by work recently. He finally had a day off and originally wanted to find Jiang Wanning to keep in touch with her.

Unexpectedly, Fang Qiu rushed in crying and howling, and forced her to accompany her aunt.

He had been in a low mood all day due to severe lack of sleep, but the enthusiastic mother and son were completely unaware of it.

It just so happened that the two of them passed by a nice clothing store, so Xie Yanchuan had the time to go outside and take a breath.

Unexpectedly, he happened to meet Jiang Wanning who was also daydreaming here. Xie Yanchuan's originally depressed mood was instantly swept away, which led to the scene that just happened.

As the two were talking, there was a sudden commotion among the crowd.

It turned out that the final countdown to the New Year was ringing on the clock over there in the square.

"careful!"

Seeing that the already bustling open space next to Jiang Wanning was suddenly filled with more people, she subconsciously grabbed Xie Yanchuan's hand, which was almost separated by the crowd.

Just at this moment, the countdown clock hit zero.

Dazzling fireworks bloomed in the sky behind the two of them.
