Falling in Love with My Contracted Husband - Chapter 344
Chapter 344 Did You Go Back on Your Word
All of Li Anzi Xi’s childhood memories were recorded here. Although it was like a road rebuilt and a building rebuilt, it did not change her liking for this place.
“This is the place I stayed when I was a child. I can’t remember when I came last time. However, as you can see now, this place doesn’t have the same meaning as anywhere else.”
An Zixi and Tang Jin Chen walked into the hotpot restaurant. The hotpot restaurant was decorated in a very stylish manner, From the first floor to the second floor, a wooden staircase, There were also a few fiery red lanterns at the stairs, The retro lights flickered. She saw her shadow moving around me. Tang Jin Chen held her hand tightly as he walked up the stairs. She saw An Zi Xi’s satisfied smile and could not help but tease, “Do you want to continue living here in the future? Since you like this place so much, I can buy you a shop.”
“Haha, it’s alright. Don’t you want me to go back with you?” An Zixi smiled. This place did not belong to her anymore. All she could do was to cherish it in her heart.
Upon reaching the second floor and entering this nostalgic hotpot restaurant, An Zixi knew that people like Tang Jin Chen had never eaten anything. This was probably the first time he had come to such a hotpot restaurant.
An Zixi had eaten a lot of delicacies that she had never eaten before when she lived in An Clan, but in her eyes, no delicious food was inferior to the snacks on this street.
An Zixi tilted his head and looked out of the wooden window on the second floor. The small street was bustling with activity, and it was still as human as before.
“Tang Jin Chen, I want to eat stinky tofu.” An Zixi smiled maliciously. She knew that Tang Jin Chen was a very clean person and did not have too high a demand for food.
Tang Jin Chen patted her head and said, “That kind of thing is not hygienic. You are not allowed to eat it in the future.”
She nodded. Tang Jin Chen couldn’t help but pinch her face with his fingers because of her stupid look.
After the bankruptcy of An Clan, that lofty Miss Qian Jin became no longer as lofty as before. When she was alone, she would always go to some custom streets, whether it was stinky tofu or barbecue, and it tasted good and unambiguous.
However, she understood that Tang Jin Chen would not like these things. He lived at the top of the society and enjoyed a luxurious life that ordinary people could not experience. Even if he lived in An Clan, she would not be able to help but feel some inferiority because of the gap between them. Inferiority slowly turned into conceit and finally self-confidence. Thus, An Zi Xi was born. The two of them found a place near the window to sit down. The waiter’s warm service and the delicious hotpot made An Zixi praise endlessly.
Just as he was about to leave, a figure flashed through the corner of his eyes. An Zixi rubbed her eyes to make sure that she wasn’t mistaken. She stared fixedly at the figure for more than ten seconds before walking over as if she remembered something.
“Is that you, Sister Ping?” She cried out. This profile had an unusual imagination with the woman who had given her free ice cream more than once. No, it was her.
The woman was the female owner of the hotpot restaurant. She heard a clear and sweet female voice, and when she turned around, she saw her pair of clear and pure eyes.
It was a long time ago. The woman called Sister Ping by An Zixi did not recognize the woman in front of her for a while. She looked at An Zixi wearing a very cream colored texture coat. Her thin body staggered slightly. Her long hair had a different style. Who was this gorgeous woman in front of her? How could she know her name?
An Zixi was still certain that the person in front of him was Sister Ping. He suppressed his excitement and walked up to her, his voice choking with sobs. “Sister Ping, is that you? I’m Xiao Xi.”
Brook? Sister Ping was already close to forty, and she came into contact with countless people every day. Even the name Xiao Xi seemed to have no impression of her, but it seemed to have some impression of her.
“Sister Ping, do you still remember that little girl Xiaoxi who used to visit your shop more than ten years ago? Do you really not remember me?”
Sister Ping tried her best to recall, and only then did she let go of her frown. “I remember, Xiaoxi, you’ve grown so big. It’s really time that makes you old. In the blink of an eye, you’ve grown into a big girl.” Sister Ping enthusiastically walked forward and held her hand. At this moment, Sister Ping was no longer the eldest sister she remembered. There were wrinkles on her face, and her dress was no different from an ordinary housewife. She was now the mother of two children. If it wasn’t for the familiar outline and profile, she probably wouldn’t believe that the woman in front of her was Sister Ping.
Sister Ping was a little excited. Seeing that the little girl of the past was already a big girl full of femininity, she felt a little sad, She continued, “When you left back then, you didn’t tell me that I wanted to give you a taste of every new product in my shop. When I saw that you hadn’t come, I asked my friends who came with you. They said that you were adopted by a wealthy family. I was really happy for you at that time. I didn’t expect to see you here again.”
Immediately after, his gaze fell on Tang Jin Chen, who was standing beside An Zi Xi. This man’s temperament was very different from the atmosphere here. At a glance, he looked like a wealthy man.
“Sister Ping, why did you open a hotpot restaurant here? Where’s the cold drink restaurant from before?” An Zixi wanted to taste the taste of the ice cream from before, which was irreplaceable by anything.
“I went to the imperial capital for a few years, but after staying there for two years, I met someone I loved, my current husband.” She smiled as she looked at the furnishings in the hotpot restaurant. “Later on, we went back to open the hotpot restaurant. It just so happened that we encountered the sale of this restaurant. It was originally my restaurant, but it actually had a kind of joy of regaining it after losing it.”
Sister Ping said as tears rolled down her eyes. She couldn’t help but sigh at the cruelty of time. Now, she was already a woman who was about to rush to the fourth place. She was busy in the hotpot shop every day.
“But it’s really good fortune. I’m very happy now. Xiaoxi, who is this next to you?”
Sister Ping looked at Tang Jin Chen in disbelief. She saw the successful people at the top of the society. She didn’t know what kind of relationship Xiao Xi had with him. If he was Xiao Xi’s boyfriend …
Only then did An Zixi recall the person beside him. He actually forgot about him. An Zixi pushed Tang Jin Chen’s arm and thought to himself, “At least give me some face. Otherwise, I wonder if that cold face would frighten Sister Ping.”
Tang Jin Chen smiled politely and said in a friendly voice, “Hello, I’m An Zi Xi’s fiance.”
“Xiaoxi, you’re getting married. This is really your husband. No, I seem to have seen him somewhere. Has he been on the financial channel?” Sister Ping suddenly came to a realization. Isn’t this the big boss that appeared on TV?
Sister Ping is an honest and honest person. She can’t help but be surprised to see An Zixi’s current life. The pitiful little girl who had no parents in the orphanage changed her fate because of an adoption. This is truly a praiseworthy inspirational story here.
Tang Jin Chen’s courtesy also gave An Zi Xi a lot of favorable impression. “You two look very compatible. Xiao Xi, I’m really happy to see you live such a happy life. I used to think you were pitiful and worried about how you would be able to live alone in society in the future. It seems like I’m really overthinking it. You and husband must have a good time!” Sister Ping couldn’t help but wipe away her tears as I instructed her earnestly. Even An Zixi couldn’t help but shed tears. Then, what Tang Jin Chen saw was the two women tightly hugging each other and crying loudly.
The gazes of the others in the hotpot shop also shifted to this place. Tang Jin Chen awkwardly coughed, but the crying did not subside. Thus, he could only awkwardly turn around and ignore those strange gazes.
He did not understand the relationship between women. It had been more than ten years, and after nearly twenty years, a woman could actually play such a weeping bargaining chip when they reunited again.
Because An Zixi was pregnant, the colleagues who affected his mood were likely to alarm the fetus in his stomach. Tang Jin Chen helplessly walked forward and pulled away the two sad Sister Lin.
“Is there anything else this afternoon?” Tang Jin Chen coughed and opened his thin lips. “Come back when you have the chance.”
After the two of them let go, Sister Ping took out two cans of her own sausages from the kitchen and said in a flattering tone, “I don’t know if you guys will dislike them, but I remember that when Xiao Xi was young, his favorite dish was sausages. If you don’t mind, just keep it.”
An Zixi took the two cans of sausages and put them into Tang Jin Chen’s hands. “Sister Ping, what are you saying? No matter where I went, you are still the Sister Ping in my memory. You remember that I like to eat sausages. I am very happy to see you this time. I will come and see you often in the future. If there is any difficulty, please let me know.”
Tang Jin Chen took the sausage that An Zi Xi had stuffed into his hand with a black line on his face. He dared to come this time to watch this woman and another woman perform the annual family drama. He endured doing something that was seriously incompatible with his status, but this was the only time.
After leaving the hotpot restaurant, An Zixi took down Sister Ping’s phone number and sobbed as he descended the stairs.
Tang Jin Chen stuffed the two cans of sausages into her hand. “This kind of thing will never happen again.”
An Zixi kept wiping her tears with a tissue. Sister Ping was the best person to her except for the director of the orphanage, so she couldn’t control her emotions when she saw Sister Ping.
Tang Jin Chen looked at her crimson eyes. Her originally cold face also eased up, and a gentle expression appeared again. “Alright, stop crying. We’ll come over often in the future. Look at the makeup on your crying face.”
Who would have thought that An Zixi would say, “I don’t have any makeup today, just let me continue crying for a while.”
Helplessly moving her head, let her put her head on her shoulder, “In the future, if you encounter any problems that cannot be solved, let me know. Also, you can only cry in my arms.”
An Zixi nodded and quickly smiled, “There’s still one most important place for you to accompany me.”
Tang Jin Chen was dumbfounded. He only felt that accompanying her out today was a mistake. The originally good “date” had also become the gathering place for An Zi Xi’s tears that reminisced about her childhood.
“Did you go back on your word?”
An Zixi pouted and acted like a little girl.
Tang Jin Chen drew circles on her hand. “Today, you are the Queen. Do whatever you want.”
“Then help me carry this.” An Zixi stuffed the two cans of sausages into his hand and sneered at Tang Jin Chen’s embarrassed appearance.
‘”Don’t throw it away. I want to eat this when I go back. I used to eat my own sausages made by Sister Ping. They are better than any other sausages bought in the supermarket. After so many years, I have dreamed of tasting them. Now, it has finally come true.”
Tang Jin Chen stroked his forehead and said, “Whatever, I won’t eat anyway.”
“If you want to eat, I won’t give it to you.” She underestimated like a child who had obtained a treasure and put down all her disguises. For so many years, she had only been a child who tried her best to please others.
