It was as if all the discomfort I had felt before had disappeared.
Jiang Huan spent the entire night thinking about this problem, but he just couldn't figure it out.
The next day, at five in the morning, Jiang Huan, still puzzled, got up to exercise and went for a run. After exercising for two hours, he bought breakfast and returned to the guesthouse. He knocked on the door of room 202 for a long time, but no one answered.
When Jiang Huan ran to the front desk to ask, he learned that the person had checked out at six o'clock. He suddenly laughed, a particularly helpless laugh. He then went upstairs, packed his things, and checked out.
After going outside, I found a phone booth and dialed Jiang Jiang's number.
"Hello!" Jiang Jiang's clear voice came from the other end of the line.
"Jiang Jiang, what were your feelings when you decided to give up Xia Wenjing and marry Tang Xiao?" Jiang Huan asked after a moment's hesitation.
"What could I possibly feel? I just feel like I've been blind, right? What? Your feelings for Sister Tao have changed?" Jiang Jiang asked in disbelief.
"I just feel like Tao Ying is avoiding me. She's very outstanding, but she also seems to reject me. I don't know if my persistence will cause her any trouble." Jiang Huan felt truly powerless.
"That's for sure. Sister Tao is too clever. Compared to our love-struck husband, she's frighteningly rational. It's also possible that she doesn't like you at all, since she's so clearly rejected you." Jiang Jiang didn't know what to say.
Sister Tao is such a good person, and Third Brother is such a good person, but sometimes being destined to be apart is just like that.
“Jiang Jiang, I’ve decided to transfer back to my original job,” Jiang Huan continued.
"You've given up?" Jiang Jiang was a little confused. Her third brother didn't seem like the type to give up so easily.
“No, I have something I need to verify, and I also want to give each other a chance,” Jiang Huan said firmly.
"Why give us another chance? You two are both so old. If you wait any longer, it'll just be a twilight romance." Jiang Jiang couldn't understand.
"Go see Tao Ying when you have time; she's very different now," Jiang Huan said before hanging up the phone.
"Hey, hey, why don't you finish what you're saying?" Jiang Jiang angrily slammed down the phone.
Then he got up to change his clothes, called his assistant to hand over his work, bought a train ticket for the day, and headed straight to the city where Tao Ying was.
When Tao Ying woke up that morning, she felt like her head was going to explode. Hearing the noise next door, she quickly packed her things and, along with Zhou Daya, Zhang Qiang, and Zhao Long, rushed to the train station.
Poor Zhang Qiang and Zhao Long were still asleep, but they didn't dare to ask.
Zhou Daya stared at Tao Ying's unmade-up face for a long time.
"Ying'er, running away won't solve anything," Zhou Daya said softly.
"Mom, he and I aren't a good match. Let's focus on making money. I'll take you out to play again next time." Tao Ying affectionately linked arms with Zhou Daya.
Zhou Daya remained silent and quietly followed Tao Ying back.
After getting off the train, before I could even call for a donkey, I heard an excited voice.
"Mom, Mom, here, here!" Wang Yuexue waved enthusiastically.
"How come this child is back so soon?" Zhou Daya couldn't help but ask in surprise.
It's only been ten days, right?
"Xiaoxue." Tao Ying instantly composed herself, took Zhou Daya's arm, and walked towards Wang Yuexue.
Zhang Qiang and Zhao Long said goodbye and went back first.
"Mom, I've driven here to pick you and Grandma up. Baomin went out to drive a car." Wang Yuexue took the suitcase from Zhou Daya and led the two of them to a red sedan.
"You bought a house too?" Tao Ying asked somewhat stiffly.
"I bought it, I bought it! I'll buy a tenement building just one street away from our house," Wang Yuexue said happily.
"So what are your plans?" Tao Ying asked softly.
"Mom, are you asking me about my career plans?" Wang Yuexue helped Zhou Daya into the car and asked softly.
“Yes.” Tao Ying felt that Wang Yuexue was not a stupid person.
Although it's unclear what Wang Yuexue likes about Wang Baomin, one thing is certain: this child has his own plans.
"I've been transferred to the Industry and Commerce Administration Bureau here," Wang Yuexue said cheerfully.
Tao Ying “…”
"Child, what exactly do you like about Wang Baomin? Tell Grandma, Grandma really wants to know," Zhou Daya asked anxiously.
“I love our family, I love Baomin’s kindness, I love his sense of responsibility, I love Mom, and I love Grandma,” Wang Yuexue answered sincerely.
"So we're all a plus," Zhou Daya said cheerfully.
"Mom, I'll pick you up from get off work every day, and we can pick up Yangyang together." Wang Yuexue looked at Tao Ying expectantly.
"No need, Yangyang will have Yang Lin pick me up. I'll buy a car in a while too," Tao Ying said softly.
"Mom~" Wang Yuexue called softly.
Tao Ying was genuinely not used to Wang Yuexue's enthusiasm.
"How are you getting along with Baomin?" Tao Ying asked.
"He's not good at all. He avoids me a lot. Mom, what's wrong with me?" Wang Yuexue really couldn't understand.
I used to have so many people pursuing me, why is it so difficult for me to pursue others now?
"You're great in every way, but this relationship between you two is inexplicable," Tao Ying said without hesitation.
Zhou Daya glanced at Tao Ying with some surprise.
“You come from a good family and are beautiful. Baomin is not good enough for you in any way, and he has no feelings for you. Is it worth it to persist?” Tao Ying said as if she were talking to Wang Yuexue, but also as if she were talking to herself.
"Mom, do you hate me?" Wang Yuexue stopped the car on the side of the road and asked Tao Ying directly.
It seems that Tao Ying's mood was a bit off after returning from her business trip.
“I don’t dislike you. I don’t know much about you, but based on what little I know, you’re probably just a little lacking in love. Actually, marrying Baomin isn’t the only way to find love,” Tao Ying said earnestly to Wang Yuexue.
"Mom, what do you think of your youngest son? Do you mind that he's older than you?" Wang Yuexue's eyes lit up.
Tao Ying “…”
“Xiaoxue, what I mean is, I can adopt you as my goddaughter, so you'll be part of the family too,” Tao Ying explained.
"Goddaughter?" Wang Yuexue was stunned.
“Yes, when it comes to relationships, it has to be mutual. Right now, Baomin is avoiding you a lot. There’s no need to hang yourself on this one crooked tree. There’s a whole forest out there.” Tao Ying gently advised.
"Mom, let me think about it, I'm a little confused." Wang Yuexue felt like her head was full of mush.
"Don't rush, take your time to think it over. If you really like Baomin, Auntie supports you in pursuing him. But don't push him too hard. The more you push him, the more important he will feel, which is not good. You must be relaxed and moderate," Tao Ying continued to persuade him.
Wang Yuexue restarted the car, dropped Zhou Daya and Tao Ying off at home, and then left. She needed to calm down and think things through.
“You’re so good at giving advice to others, but you’re so confused when it comes to yourself,” Zhou Daya said, looking at Tao Ying.
