Xu Wan looked at the woman beside her, and it turned out to be Ling Ya!
"Aunt Ling?" Xu Wan looked around but couldn't find Sen Sen, so she asked, "Are you traveling alone?"
“Yeah, it’s a friend’s birthday, and they insisted on throwing a yacht party. In my opinion, people our age should just stay home and celebrate quietly. But I couldn’t refuse their invitation anyway.” Ling Ya rubbed her temples and complained, then looked Xu Wan up and down and asked, “You’re… on a last-minute business trip?”
Xu Wan was wearing a work uniform, her hair was slightly messy, and her large work backpack was placed under the chair in front of her, through which her computer was visible.
It's obvious they just got off work and rushed over.
"I, I..." Xu Wan didn't know how to explain her situation, and said with a blush, "I'm going to Haicheng to find my husband."
Ling Ya looked surprised. "Didn't you just say your husband was sick the day before yesterday?"
"Yes, but he has a job, and I was worried about him, so I came."
In Xu Wan's view, she and Ling Ya had only a normal relationship, and she did not mention the phone call and photos.
Lingya frowned as she listened to what she said before replying, "Isn't it your own choice to go on a business trip while you're sick? Do you really need to come and take care of you? If you're so delicate, you shouldn't be working; you should just stay home and be a full-time husband."
“I really wanted to come here myself; he didn’t even know.”
Xu Wan tried her best to speak up for Jiang Tingzhou.
“You really are something, following him around like that. Men might get annoyed. The saying ‘distance makes the heart grow fonder’ will never be outdated.” Lingya tucked her hair behind her ear. “I haven’t worked much since I got married. I used to get angry because my husband didn’t spend time with me. Now I’ve figured it out. I’m finding things to do, traveling and studying. Now I’m secretly running this flower shop. Nobody in my family knows.”
"Don't your family know you own a flower shop?"
"Yeah, I have no idea what they're all doing, so I'm not going to tell them what I'm doing."
Lingya responded with a smile.
Xu Wan was stunned. "Them?"
“Yes, I don’t know what my eldest son has been up to lately, but I’m too lazy to care. On the contrary, both he and his father are workaholics, and they talk about work all the time. I’m not interested in them either.” Ling Ya sighed. “I was thinking of introducing you to my eldest son before, but now I think he’s no good. He’s not interesting. If I married him, I would have to live the same miserable life as me.”
Xu Wan didn't know how to respond.
Lingya took out two steam eye masks from her bag and handed one to Xu Wan. "Here, take a nap. You're here to see your husband, so you might be busy."
Xu Wan understood immediately, and her face turned bright red.
The plane landed at 8 p.m.
The first thing Xu Wan did after turning on her phone was to call her husband.
Still no one answered the phone.
After the two got off the plane, Ling Ya casually asked Xu Wan which hotel she was staying at, and Xu Wan told her which hotel Jiang Tingzhou was staying at.
"What a coincidence, we're going to the same hotel. Let's go together once my luggage is ready," Ling Ya said.
Xu Wan was worried about Jiang Tingzhou, and even the time spent waiting for the luggage felt too long to her.
"No need, I..."
"Oh my, it's quite a coincidence that we're on the same flight and even seated next to each other. You don't need to be so polite with me. My husband also has a company in Haicheng, and we drive our own cars, so it's very safe."
Ling Ya assumed Xu Wan was just being shy, so she reached out and took her arm, preventing her from leaving.
Xu Wan looked at Ling Ya, who was smiling at her, and for some reason, she suddenly said, "Aunt Ling, I... I want to ask you something."
"you say."
The two walked towards the luggage area.
Xu Wan pursed her lips, mustered her courage, and asked, "If your son found a girlfriend who has no father and whose mother is in prison, would you accept her as your daughter-in-law? Would you let them break up?"
