Chapter 187 Rivals Meet, and the Heat is Extraordinarily High
On a rainy day, her half-exposed back and straight legs were visible.
It really was her!
Liu Tingting, still sulking, answered a phone call and said to Cheng Ou in a bad mood, "You wait here for me! I'm going to see my cousin-in-law."
“Okay.” Cheng Ou agreed. Just now, when he saw Xu Songning’s back, his heart had drifted there. His childhood sweetheart, when he saw her again, she was still graceful and charming, even her back view was so beautiful that it was breathtaking.
Looking at the person in front of me, although Liu Tingting is also a beauty, her beauty is closer to the hazy beauty of the Jiangnan region in the rain, delicate and refined, unlike Xu Songning's bright and dignified appearance.
As soon as Liu Tingting left, Cheng Ou strode towards Xu Songning.
Xu Songning wanted to run, but there was nowhere for her to hide. As soon as she turned her head, she saw a face that she didn't want to see at all!
“Song Ning.” Cheng Ou tried to control his voice, but it was still somewhat erratic, revealing his unstable emotions.
When they were together, he didn't cherish Xu Songning much; after they separated, he missed her even more.
Maybe it's just human nature to not appreciate what we have until we lose it and then regret it.
Xu Songning slowly turned around, took a deep breath. She and Cheng Ou had been separated for several years, and now, seeing his face again, her heart was no longer stirred.
Cheng Ou was dressed in a formal suit, which covered his young body. His vibrant energy was suppressed under the suit. She still preferred to see him in sportswear.
That handsome face is still as handsome as ever, it's just a pity that she no longer knows how to appreciate it. Who can be as handsome as her captain?
Seeing that Xu Songning didn't speak, Cheng Ou continued, "Long time no see."
"Really?" Xu Songning replied perfunctorily, "If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."
"Was it you that day?" Cheng Ou suddenly asked a completely irrelevant question.
But Xu Songning knew what he was asking. She looked into Cheng Ou's eyes and said, "Yes, it's me, and my boyfriend."
“You…” Cheng Ou had no right to care whether Xu Songning had a boyfriend in the past few years, but hearing the word “boyfriend” come out of her mouth still made him feel sad.
I should have been the one standing next to her, the one holding her hand and embracing her!
"Why are you avoiding me? Do you still care about me?"
"no."
A male voice next to her answered for her.
Cheng Ou looked up in a daze, and a man taller than him walked over, stood next to Xu Songning, and, as if asserting his ownership, pulled him into his arms.
"Hello, Xiang Yun, Xu Songning's current boyfriend." Xiang Yun slightly raised his chin, his arrogant expression making people uncomfortable.
Xu Songning took his hand cooperatively. "No, I just don't want to see you again. I find it troublesome, and I'm also afraid my boyfriend will misunderstand."
Seeing the other person's rude expression, Cheng Ou's anger flared up. "Song Ning, what's so good about him?"
“He’s great, taller than you, more handsome than you, and more—determined than you.” Xu Songning smiled and clasped his hands together, inserting her fingers into his palm.
Cheng Ou's throat was dry. After hearing these words, her mind was buzzing. She took a few steps back and turned to leave.
Xu Songning breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, the person was gone. She had made herself so clear; Yun-ge's jealousy shouldn't...
Hey—
"Brother Yun! Wait for me." Xu Songning caught up with Xiang Yun and took his arm. "Don't be jealous, let me help you with the jar."
"What kind of jar?" Xiang Yun stopped and asked her.
“A jealous person,” Xu Songning replied seriously.
Xiang Yun weighed the weight in his heart, and it seemed that he couldn't quite put it into place.
Before meeting Cheng Ou, he only had a shadow in his mind. After meeting her, Xiang Yun realized how real she was.
Cheng Ou is indeed tall and handsome, which fits Xu Songning's aesthetic. Handsome people all fit her aesthetic.
Cheng Ou is about the same age as Xu Songning, and she still has that youthful energy. The two of them standing together are so eye-catching. He had already noticed Cheng Ou before he even walked over. In terms of both appearance and temperament, it seems normal for Xu Songning to like her when they were young.
"What's there to be jealous about?" Xiang Yun pretended not to care, his cold face revealing his displeasure.
Xu Songning found it endearing that he was jealous of her like a little man. She grabbed his arm, made him lower his head, planted a kiss on his cheek, and smiled happily, "Good boy Yun, don't be jealous."
This scene, witnessed by Cheng Ou who was not far away, made him clench his fists, with only one thought in his mind: unwillingness to accept defeat.
Upon seeing Xu Songning, the scales in his heart tipped again. She was still so bright and beautiful, but there was another man standing beside her.
He glanced at the watch on the man's wrist and suddenly realized who the man was. Only pilots or aviation enthusiasts would buy such an aviation-themed watch; this man must be a captain.
Ha, it's just the same profession as mine. Xu Songning hasn't forgotten me at all.
Liu Tingting and her cousin-in-law walked over together. The cousin-in-law seemed quite satisfied with Cheng Ou and patted her sister's hand, saying, "Sister, you are so lucky to have met such a good man. Unlike me, your cousin did things without considering me and the child at all."
"Sister-in-law, don't say that. What's so great about him? If it weren't for my parents liking him, I wouldn't want to get married so early," Liu Tingting pouted.
She had a boyfriend, but her family didn't approve and broke them up. They then set her up on a blind date with Cheng Ou.
She was initially quite satisfied with Cheng Ou; he was good-looking and had good qualities. However, Cheng Ou hadn't settled down at all. Everything outside was attractive to him, and he didn't care about her at all. He was also indifferent to her, which made her feel very tired.
"Alright, little sister, it's a good thing that things have stabilized," her cousin-in-law comforted her.
The two walked up to Cheng Ou, who nodded to her cousin-in-law. She had gone to great lengths for her cousin Tingting's family, so she naturally didn't give her cousin-in-law a friendly look.
"Let's go, the lawyer is waiting for us inside."
Xu Songning and Xiang Yun took the elevator upstairs. Cui Yuyue was waiting for them at the elevator entrance. When she saw the two of them come out, she walked to Xu Songning's side, took her hand, and said, "Sister-in-law, you've finally come to see me. I'm almost driven crazy by my mother. She has so much work to do."
"Poor thing, let's have dinner together tonight. After dinner, we'll go see the three cats and bring them lots of snacks." Xu Songning and Cui Yuyue were whispering to each other when they bumped into another person. Xu Songning felt like she had really forgotten to check the almanac before going out today.
"Sister Xu, Brother Yun, hello there." Lin Yao was wearing a white dress, which made her stand out from the others in the law firm, but she didn't realize it at all. She continued to do things her own way, with light makeup on her face.
