learned from Ruan Chengjie that Jingya has not been in a good mood recently, so Li Xiaoxiao asked Jingya to go shopping. I haven't seen each other for more than a month, Li Xiaoxiao's belly is a little bigger, she is wearing loose maternity clothes, with her backhand on her waist, full of pregnancy.

Jingya saw Li Xiaoxiao standing in the crowd from afar, and she trotted over to meet her.

"Why are you standing here waiting, there are the most people on this intersection, you are not safe like this. Jingya worriedly took Li Xiaoxiao's arm.

"It's okay, look at you telling me like a weak and indecent sister Lin. Li Xiaoxiao pulled out her arm, but instead grabbed Jingya, "It's you, why have you lost so much weight." She looked at Jingya distressedly.

"Isn't this a trend. Jingya smiled.

Li Xiaoxiao frowned slightly and snorted lightly.

The two sisters' favorite thing is to find a comfortable place to chat, and it was lunch time, and the two went to the restaurant they frequented.

"Hey, smile, it's nice to see you again. "The owner greeted them warmly.

"Hello, Lucas. Li Xiaoxiao greeted him happily.

The owner of this restaurant is a Canadian who has been in China for almost 10 years, he loves China, he is very comfortable here, and he speaks Chinese very well. It's almost forty years old, but he still looks very young, sunny, and of course handsome. With the boldness and confidence of North Americans in his bones. They have known each other for several years, to be precise, Jingya met him first, Jingya once made an appointment with a customer here to talk about things, because she brought too many things, but when she left, she only cared about the information on the work, but left her bag here. Fortunately, the boss made a special trip to collect it for her, and when she found it, he immediately returned it to her.

Jingya was very grateful at the time, in fact, the bag was not expensive, and there was nothing valuable in the bag, but the small ornament on the bag was a gift from Lin Xi for the first time.

The boss knew that the little pendant meant a lot to her as soon as she saw Jingya's expression, "My boyfriend sent it?"

Jing Ya nodded first, then shook her head, looking at the small pendant with blank eyes.

The boss seemed to have a special feeling for this Chinese girl at that time, so when Jingya thanked him, he just generously handed Jingya a business card of his own.

"My name is Lucas, and it's a pleasure to meet you. He reached out to shake Jingya's hand.

Jingya just smiled awkwardly, she took the business card and put it in her bag. I thought it was over, but who knew that Jingya once suddenly fell ill and fainted on the side of the road, and the kind people passing by sent her to the hospital, and in order to find his family, he saw this business card in her bag.

Liam actually confessed to Jingya, but was rejected by Jingya, at that time she had not yet come out of Lin Xi's pain, and she could not accept another relationship.

So, Lucas had to slowly turn that emotion into friendship.

As long as Jingya and Li Xiaoxiao come over, Lucas will always arrange the quietest place for them.

This two-storey restaurant with a small garden in front of the door, it is really pleasant to find such a place in the downtown area, and there are three chefs in the restaurant, one of whom is Lucas himself, and the other two are also young and handsome young men from Canada with him. Most of the people who come here to eat are in the mood to see them, but their dishes are top-notch in terms of style and taste.

"It's still the same old rule. Jingya said to Lucas.

He knew that the 'old rules' she was talking about were nanaimo, meat pies, pan-fried salmon, butter tarts, a serving of fruit, and two cups of coffee.

"Are you sure you want two cups of coffee?" Lucas glanced at Li Xiaoxiao.

"Let's change it to milk. Li Xiaoxiao said.

Lucas raised an eyebrow and made an OK gesture.

Lucas rarely receives customers in person, but as long as Jingya and Li Xiaoxiao come, no matter how busy he is, he will come out to greet them. When he left, the girls at the other tables jumped for excitement.

"Wow, it's really handsome, the real person is more handsome than the photos on the Internet. ”

"Yes, he's tall, well-dressed, and I love him so much. ”

Li Xiaoxiao almost laughed when she heard the two girls at the next table secretly talking about Lucas.

"Look at it, you didn't look down on people at the time, but now he is a celebrity on the Internet, I heard that he is the most handsome foreign chef, he also went to participate in that cooking show some time ago, but he met the big star face to face. Li Xiaoxiao said brightly, "Since he went to participate in that show, the business in his store has been getting better and better, and he is now becoming more and more famous, I wonder if he will really become a star chef one day." ”

In fact, Jing Ya has also watched the variety show that Li Xiaoxiao said a few times, Lucas's performance in it is really good, and the dishes he cooks are not only creative but also thoughtful, but he still lost to the other two contestants in the end and won the third place.

"I also watched that show, his strength is really strong, it's a pity that he didn't win the first place. ”

"There were rumors on the Internet that Lucas should have won the first place, but the first and second places both had a backstage, and he only won the third place. Li Xiaoxiao said in a low voice.

Jing Ya hurriedly put her finger to her mouth and signaled her not to talk nonsense, Jing Ya knew that Lucas was popular now, but the truth that there were many people who were popular always existed, and she didn't want to cause any trouble to Lucas.

"Tell me, what's been going on with you lately. Li Xiaoxiao took a sip of milk.

"No, I don't. Jingya is forking a grape with a small fork, the purple grape is very cute, but Jingya can't fork it.

"Give!" In the end, Li Xiaoxiao helped her.

"There's something on your mind that others can't see, can't I see it?" Li Xiaoxiao said as she stared at Jing Ya.

"What the hell!" Jing Ya deliberately avoided her gaze, only lowered her head to look at the Nanai Mo Tiao on the plate, the thick chocolate aroma combined with vanilla, she ate a piece, soft and crispy walnut texture, sweet and sweet taste burst out on the tip of the tongue immediately.

"You have a sweet tooth whenever you have something on your mind. Li Xiaoxiao was still staring at her.

Jing Ya paused for a moment before she spoke: "I don't know what's wrong with me, I just feel a little powerless." Jingya finally put down the small fork in her hand.

"Does it have anything to do with Yun Fan?"

Jingya didn't answer.

"That's it, is Xia Meiru making trouble with you recently?"

"Actually, it's nothing. ”

"What do you mean it's nothing? She made trouble for you, and you still have to cover up with her?" Li Xiaoxiao finally got angry.

"I guess I'm looking for her. Jingya lowered her eyes and said.

"You're looking for her?"

"Hmm. Yes, I looked for her, I wanted to ask her if she had known Yan Yidong for a long time, she said yes, she also said, it was she who told Yan Yidong about my condition, so that Yan Yidong could come to me. ”

"I guessed it a long time ago, but I didn't expect it to be true. Li Xiaoxiao snorted lightly.

"Because of me, one of Yunfan's convenience chain brands was almost acquired by Xia Meiru's father, and because I Yunfan almost didn't get the agent abroad, I felt that I didn't help him in anything, and I caused him trouble. ”

"Hey, my sister, how can I blame you, first of all, there will inevitably be some things in the business world that you will fight for, isn't there a saying that 'shopping malls are like battlefields', how can I blame you, besides, Gu Yunfan's strength is very strong, Gu's strength is even stronger, how can it be because you will let Gu Yunfan and Gu Shi encounter any trouble? Don't think about it. Li Xiaoxiao comforted.

"But, I'm afraid I won't be able to have children......" Jingya said in a low voice.

"Don't talk nonsense, how is it possible. Li Xiaoxiao immediately interrupted Jingya's words seriously.

"What I'm saying is true, if I really can't have children, then I don't have to worry about Yun Fan, they are the only one in the family, although his father doesn't say anything, in fact, he always hopes to be able to hold his grandson in his heart, if I can't have children, it will be too cruel for them. ”

"It's all to blame on that damn Xia Meiru, otherwise, you would be born by now. Li Xiaoxiao became more and more angry the more she spoke.

"It's useless to say this now, the child is gone, and I still haven't protected myself. ”

"You don't have too much psychological burden, this is a matter of having children, the greater the psychological pressure, the more difficult it is to get pregnant, I read an article before, which is what it says, saying that a couple wants to have a child, but they have not been pregnant for several years, and they have no choice but to divorce, and then they each have a family again, and they have children, and even the children are born at about the same time, in fact, the two of them love each other very much, but it is a pity that they are tricked by fate. After Li Xiaoxiao finished speaking, he felt that his example was very inappropriate, so he added: "I just want to tell you, don't be pressured." ”

"I know. Jingya nodded.

In fact, the example Li Xiaoxiao talked about herself has seen the article, because she has been worried about not being able to conceive a child, during this time, she always checks all kinds of information, and when she looks at the information, she will always see some relevant information, such as the family damage caused by the couple because they have no children. She always didn't dare to look at this information, but the more she didn't dare to look at it, she still couldn't help but click on it. In fact, most couples still love each other when they are separated, but there is no way but to separate.

Jingya is afraid of such an ending, she finally found her own happiness, she is afraid of changes, she is afraid of losing, she is afraid of losing Gu Yunfan.

"Jingya!" Li Xiaoxiao called out to her when she saw that she was distracted again. "If you don't do it another day, I'll accompany you to the hospital to have a look. ”

"I don't want to go, and I can't change anything if I go. Jingya was actually afraid of hearing the doctor say something like that again.

"Well, then you promise me not to think about it again. ”

Jingya nodded.

At this time, it was past noon, there were many fewer customers in the restaurant, and Lucas was probably not too busy, he walked towards them with a smile on his face, one hand behind his back, and a plate in the other, and when he put the plate on the table, Jingya and Li Xiaoxiao were stunned. This is like a dish, obviously a work of art, with two pieces of fried foie gras in the middle of the white porcelain plate, one side of the plate brushed with a thin layer of strawberry jam, like a pink rainbow, and the ends are decorated with diced strawberries and blueberries with green leaves.

"Wow, this is so beautiful, we can't afford to eat it. ”

"That's right, it's all good. Jingya also smiled and echoed Li Xiaoxiao.

"That's right, I said a long time ago, you look good when you smile. Lucas didn't introduce the ingredients to them as usual, but looked at Jingya and said something like this with a smile.
