Chapter 126 The Real Jealousy Vase
Ai Xiaoxia told Fang Lan'e about her doubts and what she wanted to do recently.
After hearing this, Fang Lan'e was surprised at first, then began to doubt: "Come to think of it, you really don't look like them. My mother used to say that the two girls in the old Ai family really look different. The older one has the good qualities of her parents, but the younger one doesn't."
Ai Xiaoxia thought about it, and it was true. With her big eyes and small mouth, she really combined the advantages of Ai Weimin and Meng Qiuju. They were not good-looking, but there were some good-looking parts in their facial features. Maybe this is why others thought Ai Xiaoxia was good-looking but did not think anything wrong.
"Did your mother and the others say anything else about my family?" Ai Xiaoxia asked again. Because before, the two of them just focused on their work and didn't pay attention to these things, but now they can calm down and think, she also wanted Fang Lan'e to help her recall.
Fang Lan'e thought for a moment and shook her head: "There really isn't anything suspicious about it."
Ai Xiaoxia also knew that there had been no rumors in the village for so many years, which proved that either she was overthinking it or Meng Qiuju had hidden it too well.
She sighed: "I'll check it out again."
Fang Lan'e looked at Ai Xiaoxia: "Xiaoxia, although Lu Jingshen is a good man, it was ultimately an arranged marriage by your parents. It wasn't the love you sought for yourself. Do you look forward to true love?"
Ai Xiaoxia laughed when she heard this. At first, she thought that a marriage without love was unhappy, but she didn't expect that her marriage was her love.
Just as she was about to speak, there was a clang behind her. Ai Xiaoxia and Fang Lan'e quickly walked around the GG sign to see what was going on.
I saw that the bag that Mu Chen was holding fell to the ground, and two pineapples and several mangoes fell out.
When Mu Chen saw Ai Xiaoxia here just now, he wanted to come over and say hello, but when he got behind her, he happened to hear Fang Lan'e talking about Ai Xiaoxia's arranged marriage. He didn't expect Ai Xiaoxia to be married, let alone an arranged marriage, so he was stunned for a moment and the fruit in his hand fell to the ground.
When he saw Ai Xiaoxia at this time, he really didn't know how to face it. This girl whom he had liked for so long was actually married, but her marriage was arranged and there was no love.
Ai Xiaoxia hurried over to help pick it up: "Mu Chen, I thought you wouldn't come so early."
Mu Chen also picked up fruits: "I'm not busy in the afternoon, so I came a little early." He didn't know what to say at this moment, and he felt very conflicted.
Ai Xiaoxia picked up two mangoes and put them into the bag in Muchen's hand while introducing Fang Lan'e beside her: "This is my friend Muchen, who works in the design institute." Then she introduced Fang Lan'e to Muchen.
The two greeted each other and quickly picked up the things.
Ai Xiaoxia brought Muchen into the store.
There were not many customers at this time, so Ai Xiaoxia took Mu Chen to a seat by the window.
Fang Lan'e asked the waiter to pour them tea and then went to the kitchen.
Ai Xiaoxia thanked Muchen first: "Thank you for the fruit."
She wasn't sure if Muchen was really interested in her. She couldn't just tell him she was married. If he wasn't interested, wouldn't that be awkward? She'd wait and see what happened.
Mu Chen said, "You're welcome. You've helped me a lot, and this is what I should do." He then looked at Ai Xiaoxia and asked, "Xiaoxia, I just heard what you said to your friends. Was this an arranged marriage?"
Ai Xiaoxia didn't expect that Mu Chen had heard all this: "Did you hear it?"
Mu Chen said: "Well, I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but is what you said true?"
"It's true." Ai Xiaoxia's marriage was indeed arranged, that's for sure.
"Then do you want to pursue your own love? This is not the old society anymore. You have the right to leave this marriage and pursue your own happiness. People who really like you will not mind your past." Mu Chen looked at Ai Xiaoxia sincerely.
Although Ai Xiaoxia was not that sensitive when it came to love, she could see some of Mu Chen's intentions from his eyes and words.
She said to Mu Chen: "My current marriage is what I want. I am very happy. Thank you for your kindness."
"But you are not an ordinary girl. You are so outstanding. Are you willing to have such a marriage?"
"My husband is also very good. He didn't despise me when I was down, and he supported me when I was on the rise. He holds a very important place in my heart."
"But that's not love, maybe it's just your gratitude."
"Maybe I didn't think it was love at first, but now I'm sure I love him and he's the one I want to entrust my life to."
"Are you really sure that this is love? Not gratitude or family affection? You've been together for a long time, so maybe you'll be confused. You need to question your heart."
Ai Xiaoxia was very sure: "I am sure of my feelings for him. There is no doubt at all. I really love him."
At this moment, Ai Xiaoxia wanted to tell Mu Chen clearly that she was in love and asked him not to think about anything else.
"Maybe you can't really understand what I mean now, but I hope you will think about it carefully for your own sake." Mu Chen looked at Ai Xiaoxia. He couldn't deny that he loved her, but she had a family now, and he had to see her attitude. He couldn't help but give himself another chance.
Ai Xiaoxia said with certainty: "I don't need to think about this. I am very sure that I also hope that you can find the person you like soon."
After hearing what Ai Xiaoxia said, Mu Chen really couldn't force it anymore, but there was still a glimmer of hope in his heart.
But it was not appropriate to say anything now, as more and more guests came to eat and the surroundings became noisy.
This wasn't the right occasion to say anything more, so he stood up and said to Ai Xiaoxia, "It's getting late, so I'll go back first. If you want to talk to someone, I hope that person is me."
Ai Xiaoxia stood up and said directly without responding to Mu Chen's words: "I believe in my own judgment when it comes to matters of the heart. I'll take you out."
After all, they are guests and have brought gifts to her. There are ways to entertain guests, but she doesn't need to say anything else.
Mu Chen nodded, his face looked unhappy, because he never expected that the girl he wanted to pursue was already married.
As Ai Xiaoxia was escorting Mu Chen out of the store, Lu Jingshen came towards them.
Seeing Lu Jingshen, Ai Xiaoxia smiled: "Why are you here? Aren't you still at get off work at this hour?"
Could it be that Lu Jingshen said that he was worried about Mu Chen, so he finished his work early and asked for leave?
He said, "I happened to be working on something and can leave early, so I came to pick you up." After that, he looked at Muchen and extended his hand: "You must be Muchen, right? I am Ai Xiaoxia's husband, Lu Jingshen."
