After saying that, the two of them laughed together.

The laughter diluted the previous awkward and stiff atmosphere.

After saying good night to each other, they turned off the lights and went to sleep.

Xiang Baiwei lay on the bed, thinking carefully in her heart that she couldn't accept Jiang Sui's gift in vain.

I'll have to find a chance to go to the county town again. My eldest brother's wedding is approaching, and Jiang Sui doesn't seem to have any other clothes except the black Zhongshan suit he wears on important occasions.

His shoes seemed quite old.

Xiang Baiwei was busy buying clothes and shoes for her elder brother today and didn't think of buying anything for Jiang Sui.

From the moment this life began, Xiang Baiwei had been forcing herself not to care about Jiang Sui, let alone think about him.

So when buying men's clothing today, Xiang Baiwei naturally ignored Jiang Sui.

But reciprocity is the norm. Jiang Sui gave her so many valuable things, she couldn't just accept them so easily.

Whenever she has free time, she will buy something as a gift to Jiang Sui.

It's good to have no loss or debt.

Xiang Baiwei did what she said. After a few days, she squeezed out a day of free time and took her good friend Chi Kunli to stroll around the city.

It just so happened that Chi Kunli was urged by her family to go on a blind date. After Aunt Chi knew that Xiang Baiwei had asked her to go to the county town for fun, she specially prepared money and asked Chi Kunli to take it to buy her some presentable clothes so that she could meet Xiang Baiwei later.

In order to prevent Jiang Sui, a smart man, from guessing it, Xiang Baiwei used the excuse that Chi Kunli was going on a blind date and accompanied him to buy clothes.

Jiang Sui had no other reaction to this, and only suggested that Xiang Baiwei could pick out a skirt he had given her and put it on.

He didn't say it, but he actually wanted to see it.

He hoped that when Xiang Baiwei was having fun, he could feel involved.

Even though it's just a skirt.

Xiang Baiwei didn't object and picked a skirt that was less eye-catching than the others.

But this one thing alone made Chi Kunli envious all the way.

What's more, after learning that this was sent by Jiang Sui, Chi Kunli's dark eyes were full of longing.

It is said that the person her relatives found for her to date is quite good and is said to be very gentle and caring.

Chi Kunli looked at Xiang Baiwei with envy: "I don't ask for anything else, as long as he is gentle and caring, I don't want to serve my ancestors."

"Take your time, there's no rush." ​​Xiang Baiwei laughed and patted her hands.

Now everyone around her envies her marriage to Jiang Sui.

If one day they found out that she and Jiang Sui were divorced, I wonder what their reaction would be. I'm sure they would be shocked.

Arriving at the county town, Xiang Baiwei and Chi Kunli went straight to the department store.

The two were enjoying their stroll when suddenly someone they didn't want to see appeared.

Because Xiang Baiwei and Chi Kunli did not take the first bus, it was already past eleven o'clock when they arrived in the county town.

On the other side, Liu Mei stood at the corner, looking at the two people talking and laughing in the distance, her face suddenly turned ugly.

It's so unlucky! I finally get to go out and have fun, but I run into these two people.

In the distance, Chi Kunli was whispering in Xiang Baiwei's ear: "Did you see that? Liu Mei is here today too, she's right behind."

But there's no point in saying this.

Because Liu Mei was already walking towards them: "What a coincidence! You guys are here today too? Which bus did you take? I didn't think I saw you two when I took the bus this morning."

Chi Kunli didn't want to pay attention to her, so she turned her back and chatted with the counter staff next to her.

Xiang Baiwei remained polite: "We took the second bus, which was later than yours, so we didn't meet."

Liu Mei, who also didn't want to go with them, nodded perfunctorily: "Well, it's quite a coincidence that I meet you here, but I have something else to do, so I won't go with you. See you later."

"Okay, see you later." Xiang Baiwei nodded and said goodbye to Liu Mei.

After Liu Mei walked away, Chi Kunli couldn't help but mutter: "Who wants to stroll with her? She is so self-indulgent."

"Okay, everyone has gone far away, she can't hear you even if you keep grumbling." Xiang Baiwei patted Chi Kunli with a smile, "Let's go to the front and take a look. The clothes in front are all bought in the south. They look more fashionable."

On the other side, Liu Mei looked back at Bai Wei's figure and bit her lips with some resentment.

She recognized the dress Xiang Baiwei was wearing. She had seen it in the department store before.

She fell in love with the skirt at first sight and wanted to take it down to try it on, but she couldn't afford it because the price was too high, so she just wanted to try it on for fun.

Unfortunately, the teller was a shrewd person and wouldn't let her try it on, saying that none of the skirts hanging there were allowed to be tried on.

But today, she was wearing this skirt.

Liu Mei couldn't help but wonder how much money Xiang Baiwei made from opening those two workshops?

How can one be this rich?

Liu Mei muttered as she walked out. She was going to the park today and came to the department store just to change into new clothes.

Half an hour later, Liu Mei entered the park and found Zhang Wangming, who had been waiting for a long time and was now sitting and reading a book in the pavilion by the water in the southeast corner.

Zhang Wangming heard footsteps, looked back, and then showed surprise: "This dress today is very beautiful and suits you very well."

"It's OK, just so-so. I just picked up something in the closet." Liu Mei replied casually, then sat opposite Zhang Wangming at a suitable distance. "Why are you here so early? Have you been waiting for a long time?"

"It hasn't been long." Zhang Wangming put the book back into his bag. "The scenery in this park is pretty good. Shall we take a stroll?"

"Okay, let's take a stroll." Liu Mei stood up. "It looks like there are people rowing boats. Do you want to go for a row?"

"I don't really like rowing." Zhang Wangming smiled and shook his head to refuse.

"What? Are you afraid of water?" Liu Mei teased him with a sidelong glance.

Zhang Wangming touched his nose and said nothing.

Of course he was not afraid of rowing, but the problem was that he was married and alone on the lake. He would be too obvious a target and if he was discovered, it would have a bad impact.

If he strolled in the woods, as long as he kept his eyes open and dodged in time, he would not be discovered.

Anyway, he doesn't know many acquaintances, and his wife has gone back to her parents' home, so she won't appear here.

"How does it feel to work in the city? Is it very different from being a teacher in a country school?" Liu Mei saw that he was silent and took the initiative to find a topic.

Zhang Wangming smiled and said, "I was not used to it at first. I often recalled the days when I was a teacher in school. Although life in the countryside was a bit hard, it was a good memory after all. Every time I woke up in the middle of the night, I was filled with sadness, especially when I thought of you."

Zhang Wangming deliberately spoke in this tone, which made Liu Mei's heart beat faster.
