"Stop here for a moment."
Leng Minghui spotted that familiar figure amidst the bustling crowd and endless stream of traffic.
In that instant, the surrounding noise seemed to fade away, and only that figure remained in his eyes.
He quickly stopped the taxi driver, left his bodyguard to pay the fare, and hurriedly got out of the car.
His steps were hurried, his eyes fixed on the person, as if afraid that she would disappear in the blink of an eye.
He kept weaving through cars, completely ignoring the ear-piercing honking of the vehicles around him and the angry curses of the drivers.
He kept brushing past pedestrians on the street, constantly shortening the distance between them.
He thought about it for a long time last night. He was unwilling to accept it and wanted to know clearly what exactly made them get together.
This matter was like a thorn stuck in his heart.
As he approached, Leng Minghui slowed his pace and saw the two people in front of him holding hands.
The two looked at each other from time to time, their eyes filled with smiles.
They were a perfect match, a handsome man and a beautiful woman.
Leng Minghui felt as if a huge hole had been opened in his heart, and the coldness seeped into his entire body, making him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
"Mr. Leng, here's your coat." The bodyguard came over and handed Leng Minghui the coat he had forgotten in the taxi.
Leng Minghui only felt warm after putting on his clothes.
He continued to follow behind Xia Baozhu and Sun Xingyan.
Every time she turned her head, he hoped she would turn back and see him.
Leng Minghui stared intently at Xia Baozhu. Her complexion was much better than before, and she was dressed fashionably and elegantly, a stark contrast to her previous attire.
Her long, black, curly hair was romantic and charming, making her fair face appear as white as snow, like a blooming lily.
Her eyes were clear and bright, filled with a sparkling smile that softened her aloofness and added a touch of warmth.
Her lips were full and rosy, and when they opened and closed, it made one want to kiss them and savor their sweetness.
That's exactly what Sun Xingyan did. He suppressed his pounding heart and gently kissed Xia Baozhu's cheek.
Seeing this, Leng Minghui clenched his fists, wishing he could punch Sun Xingyan's face, which he loathed so much.
He thought back to last year before the Lunar New Year, when he and Xia Zhaodi walked home together, and she was as cold as ice to him.
He thought to himself that no matter how Xia Zhaodi's feelings for him changed, they couldn't possibly be that heartless.
Unless she was already in a relationship with Sun Xingyan at that time.
Sun Xingyan came from a good family, a family of highly educated intellectuals. Such people are most likely to be admired and liked by women with lower levels of education.
In addition, Sun Xingyan is eloquent and persuasive, and he might even win Xia Zhaodi's heart.
Although Xia Zhaodi had significant flaws in her background, she was so beautiful that even if she dressed worse than others, it couldn't hide her good looks.
Moreover, she later learned to dress up and became even more stunningly beautiful, so it was perfectly normal for Sun Xingyan to be attracted to her.
He couldn't forget her either; she often appeared in his dreams, sometimes passionate, sometimes cute and playful, sometimes shy and awkward. Every dream left him with a lingering sense of nostalgia.
He regretted the divorce the moment he saw her again.
The thought of her living such a sweet life with Sun Xingyan in the future drove him insane with jealousy.
Leng Minghui's gaze swept over the bodyguard beside him. This bodyguard was professionally trained and could easily knock Sun Xingyan down with one punch.
Xia Baozhu and Sun Xingyan chose a restaurant for breakfast.
Just as he was about to go in, someone came from behind and bumped into Sun Xingyan hard.
"The road is so wide, can't you see it?" Sun Xingyan's shoulder hurt from being bumped, and he was a little angry.
"Say that again?" The man turned his head with a fierce look.
Sun Xingyan was so angry he almost laughed. There were all sorts of people out there, acting all self-righteous after offending others.
“You’re not only blind and can’t see the road, but you’re also deaf and can’t understand human speech,” Sun Xingyan continued to curse.
Xia Baozhu sized up the man in front of her; he was strong and ruthless, no ordinary thug.
Why did he bump into Sun Xingyan for no reason?
Xia Baozhu turned her head and looked around. She seemed to see a familiar face, but it was quickly blocked by passersby.
"You're asking for death for talking to your grandfather like that!" The man opposite him was furious and clenched his fist to attack Sun Xingyan.
Xia Baozhu grabbed his wrist, and the man's eyes showed disbelief.
He never imagined that this woman, who looked even prettier than his boss's wife, was so strong.
She was like a beautiful, silent, yet deadly flower.
The excruciating pain in his wrist felt like he had been injected with a vicious and terrifying neurotoxin.
"Wife, you're amazing!" Sun Xingyan looked at Xia Baozhu's calm and collected demeanor with admiration.
He adored his wife's aura of being a peerless master who could crush enemies without batting an eye.
From Leng Minghui's angle, he couldn't see Xia Baozhu making a move. He eagerly awaited the sounds of fighting, Sun Xingyan's screams, and Xia Zhaodi's exclamations.
But there was nothing there, only his bodyguard standing in front of Xia Baozhu and Sun Xingyan, drenched in sweat.
"Apologize," Xia Baozhu said calmly.
"Yes, I'm sorry, I was wrong." The man quickly apologized; he had misjudged the situation this time and was now in trouble.
I wonder if the boss will fire him for poor performance?
Xia Baozhu let go of his hand. They still had to go eat, and it wouldn't be good to make a big fuss in public.
The two entered the shrimp dumpling restaurant, and shortly after they sat down and ordered, Leng Minghui sat down opposite them.
"What are you doing here?" Sun Xingyan asked in an unfriendly tone.
"I'm her man, what are you talking about?" Leng Minghui's tone became even more aggressive, glaring at Sun Xingyan like a fighting rooster, ready to fight at any moment.
"Don't you have any shame at all? Are you suffering from dementia? Have you forgotten that you're already married, or that you were having premarital sex?"
"You two were the ones who were having premarital sex! Xia Zhaodi, let me ask you, before the divorce you were so cold to me, you wouldn't even let me into your room to sleep, were you already having an affair with him back then?"
Leng Minghui stared intently at Xia Baozhu, trying to get the answer from her face.
His response was a cup of piping hot tea.
The moment the tea was splashed, he closed his eyes in disbelief, then jumped up screaming from the burn.
Sun Xingyan laughed heartily at Leng Minghui's stomping and jumping. He gave Xia Baozhu a thumbs up, praising her for splashing so well.
Seeing that things were going badly, the bodyguard sitting behind him immediately snatched the dishcloth from the waiter's hand, ran to the kitchen, soaked it in cold water, and applied it to Leng Minghui's face.
"So this is one of Leng Minghui's men." Xia Baozhu's lips curled into a mocking smile.
Leng Minghui is still as pathetic as ever.
There was one point in the book that she particularly agreed with: he and Lin Shiwan were a perfect match.
