Chapter 839 A Double Meaning
In a tea restaurant, Shen Jingjing sat quietly in her seat.
"Sister Jingjing."
Ni Man entered the store, waved to Shen Jingjing from afar, and then walked over quickly.
Shen Jingjing smiled and stood up, waiting for the person to come closer before speaking: "I was worried that you would be busy at your shop, so I chose this restaurant upstairs from you."
“You can just come to the store and find me,” Ni Man said with a smile.
“It’s lunchtime now. No matter how busy you are, you still need to eat. Let’s just have something simple.”
Ni Man nodded, and as Shen Jingjing picked up the kettle to pour her tea, the observant Ni Man immediately noticed the ring on Shen Jingjing's finger.
That diamond was so big that it was hard not to notice it.
This is clearly a wedding ring.
Ni Man remained calm and simply accepted the tea and said thank you.
Shen Jingjing then inquired about Ni Man's shop: "How's business lately? Is the customer traffic stable?"
Ni Man nodded: "That's great. The wealthy ladies you introduced to me are very stable customers. They basically change to new styles every month, and they especially like handmade clothes."
"Stability is good. As long as you like these things and can do what you like, that's the most important thing."
"Jingjing, are you just passing by today? Or did you come here specifically to see me?" Ni Man asked instinctively.
"I came here specifically to see you because I have something I'd like to ask you for a favor."
Upon hearing this, Ni Man immediately became serious: "What is it?"
Shen Jingjing pursed her lips and then said, "I'm getting married..."
Ni Man's eyes widened slightly, and she glanced at the ring on Shen Jingjing's finger out of the corner of her eye. Her heart skipped a beat.
Is Sister Jingjing getting married?
That Yuanliang brother...
Clearly, Ni Man subconsciously thought that Sister Jingjing was going to marry someone else, and Jiang Yuanliang probably never expressed his feelings in the end.
In her heart, she naturally hoped that Sister Jingjing and Brother Yuanliang would be together.
Before she could even ask, Shen Jingjing said, "He Yuanliang."
Ni Man's eyes widened again, but then filled with surprise and emotion. She covered her mouth and looked at Shen Jingjing with excitement. After a long while, she asked again to confirm, "Really? You're going to marry Yuan Liang?"
Shen Jingjing nodded and lowered her eyes slightly, saying, "We originally wanted to come to see you together, but he's been a bit busy lately. He said he would thank you in person later. I only found out recently. He intentionally brought it up to me. It was your words that woke him up and spurred him on. He feels that you played a big role in the reason we got together, and he wants to thank you."
"No need to thank me!" Ni Man raised her hand and laughed excitedly, "Back then, only the two of you who were directly involved could not see the situation clearly, but I saw it very clearly."
As she spoke, she looked directly at Shen Jingjing and said, "Sister Jingjing, finding someone 'suitable' is actually quite easy for Yuanliang. He said that he has always felt that 'suitability' is his standard for choosing a partner. The people that Grandpa arranged for him in his early years were all people that Grandpa thought were 'suitable,' including me. I am even the most suitable person in every way."
"But because of you, his initial state of mind and thoughts have quietly changed. 'Suitability' is not what Yuanliang needs; what he wants is 'like and love.' He likes you, and he only loves you."
"I think everyone misunderstood him before, or rather, no one truly understood him, including Yuanliang himself. He didn't even realize that what he cared about more was 'liking and loving,' rather than 'suitability.'"
Ni Man held Shen Jingjing's hand, genuinely happy for them: "Congratulations to you both. I've been waiting for your news. I don't know if Yuanliang expressed his feelings to you in the end, but if he didn't, I would really feel sorry for him and for you both."
"Because Sister Jingjing, you are the best person in my heart, and you deserve to have a good man like Brother Yuanliang."
Shen Jingjing's eyes welled up with tears: "I would like to ask you to design my wedding dress and Yuan Liang's suit."
“Okay!” Ni Man agreed immediately, nodding without hesitation: “It would be my honor. I will definitely design the most beautiful and unique wedding dress for you in the world.”
Shen Jingjing smiled and said, "We might need something different, including a Chinese-style one."
"No problem, have you set a wedding date?"
"We're choosing a date; I'll send you an invitation then."
"I'm bringing my boyfriend along!"
Shen Jingjing was startled, then exclaimed with delight, "You have a new boyfriend?"
Ni Man nodded shyly: "Yes, we've been dating for a few months now, and things are stable. I can bring him out to meet people now."
"Congratulations, bring him along next time."

After accompanying Xiaomin through a series of examinations, the final result was a close call – it was just a common case of acute gastric spasm.
However, the doctor's examination revealed that this stomach problem was caused by Xiaomin's long-term dietary habits. If it is not properly treated and improved, there is a possibility of sudden relapse in the future.
"Sister, I've been eating on time as you've told me, it's just a lingering health problem from when I was back in our hometown," Xiaomin explained urgently, afraid that her sister would misunderstand that she was disobeying her.
Shen Ci patted her head: "I know, the doctor said this illness can be cured slowly. Just pay more attention in the future and you'll be fine. Don't endure hunger, and don't eat too fast or too much."
Xiaomin nodded and looked down at the medicine she was holding.
She knew without being asked how expensive medical care was in Longcheng's hospitals, and she would write it all down so that she could repay her sister double when she earned money in the future.
At the elevator entrance, while waiting for the elevator, I unexpectedly ran into Li Xiao.
Enemies often meet on narrow roads.
Li Xiao was all alone, wearing a mask, as if afraid of being recognized.
He was also surprised to see Shen Ci, and he knew that even wearing a mask wouldn't hide him from Shen Ci; she would definitely recognize him.
Lianxing rolled her eyes.
Shen Ci, on the contrary, revealed a meaningful smile in his eyes and stared at Li Xiao with more interest.
Li Xiao frowned, and nervously bobbed his Adam's apple.
He didn't want to provoke Shen Ci at this time, but Shen Ci didn't intend to miss any opportunity to tease him.
She walked up to Li Xiao and, under his questioning gaze, asked directly, "You've come to see a proctologist?"
Li Xiao was shocked and stared at Shen Ci.
"What's wrong? Is your stomach upset from eating Western food?"
Shen Ci's words had a double meaning, after all, Li Xiao was already relying on white people for food while studying abroad.
But Li Xiao was feeling guilty, and Shen Ci's words only made him feel more guilty. He growled in a low voice, "Shen Ci, stop talking nonsense!"
"What's wrong?" Shen Ci feigned ignorance, blinking innocently. "Did I say something wrong? Didn't you eat Western food abroad? Do you think I meant something else?"
Babies, the double monthly pass event ends in two days.
