CHAPTER XXIV

"Going to the Soup and Fire" / Call me Meow

In my life, the most feared thing is not being able to meet someone who makes you have the urge to go to the soup.

At the wedding banquet in City A, Chen Bin stood at the door of the banquet in a groom dress to greet the guests. Yao Qian had seen the wanton smile on his face from afar, she took a few steps forward, suddenly stopped at the door, and stood there in a daze, unable to walk anymore.

"Why don't you go in?"

A man's voice came from behind him, Yao Qian chuckled in her heart, but then pursed her lips and chuckled, turning her head sideways to look at the visitor, "Are you going to come alone today?" ”

Regarding Gu Jinchen's arrival, Yao Qian was not surprised. Chen Bin is engaged in the red wine business, and in the small city of City C, business exchanges are mutually entertaining, and it is not a fuss that the two know each other.

Gu Jinchen stepped forward and stood beside her, but his eyes stayed on the woman beside him, and said lightly: "Two people." ”

When Yao Qian heard this, his eyes followed him to look at the woman, young and beautiful. looked at Gu Jinchen's tender eyes again, and immediately understood that this woman must be the person Gu Jinchen was waiting for.

The woman was also looking at her and smiled kindly at her, "Hello, my name is Xia Ran." ”

"Hello, my name is Yao Qian." Yao Qian generously stretched out her hand and shook her, and after saying hello, the groom Chen Bin also found her and hurriedly called her over.

After Yao Qian left, Xia Ran kept staring at her back, until the people around her called her, and she said, "She looks lonely." ”

Gu Jinchen frowned lightly, "Why do you say that?" ”

Xia Ran shook his head, "I don't know." ”

Chen Bin got married, and when Yao Qian received the wedding invitation, she thought that she would meet many familiar people, including Chen Ziang. It's just that he never expected to see Wen Nan on such an occasion, Chen Bin arranged her in a relatively high seat, but Yao Qian shirked it. She found a place in the corner, and before she sat down, Wen Nan had already sat down next to her.

Yao Qian glanced at her, took the wine on the side, poured herself a glass, and poured it for her by the way.

"I'm not here to drink." When Wen Nan spoke, his gaze never moved from the entrance of the auditorium. She asked Chen Ziang for lunch today, and it was rare that he came early, but he also left quickly. His phrase 'don't see each other again' has been hovering in her mind, stinging her deeply.

So, as soon as he walked on his front foot, she followed on his heel. Not for anything else, just to see where you lose. Women, they seem to be so stupid in love.

Yao Qian looked puzzled, put the red wine back on the table, Wen Nan turned his face to look at her, pulled out a self-deprecating smile, and said lightly: "I'm here to see where I lost." ”

Yao Qian was stunned, but Wen Nan took the red wine she put on the table like a person who was fine, and drank it slowly. She couldn't help but look at Wen Nan a few more times, her outfit was much lighter than usual today, but even this still couldn't remove her beauty and pride. It's just that there is a faint sadness condensed between her eyebrows, Yao Qian raised her eyes and looked in the direction of her gaze, the man with a lofty instrument was walking in, and the person who came in with him was the familiar person.

Chen Ziang was dressed in a black suit and stood at the door of the banquet hall, while the woman next to him was dressed in silver and white, and at a glance she was such a talented man and woman. The woman's face was reflected in Yao Qian's eyes, and she almost called out her name. Jiang Xiaoxi seemed to be whispering something, and Yao Qian saw the corners of Chen Ziang's mouth curled slightly, and led her to follow Chen Bin into the venue.

They did not go this way, but towards the front, with unhurried steps. For a moment, Yao Qian always felt that a gaze was looking at them. Just looked up again and looked closely, the man didn't look this way, his heart sank, and his face was bloodless. Turning her head, she found that Wen Nan was looking at herself, and she smiled nonchalantly.

The smile on Wen Nan's face was even worse, and she tested her with a low voice: "Are you afraid?" ”

Yao Qian pursed her lips and drank only red wine one by one. suppressed the discomfort in his heart and asked, "What are you laughing at?" ”

"Before I came, I thought she must be beautiful, but I just saw it, but that's it." Wen Nan looked down at the glowing wine glass in his hand, and his red nails were unusually conspicuous. With a flicker of her eyes, she looked at Yao Qian and said with a smile: "It's not as dangerous as you brought me." ”

She said softly, but it fell heavily on Yao Qian's heart. From the first time she saw Wen Nan, she admired such a woman very much, daring to love and hate. has always been frank and has no coquettishness, and he is not as good as her in front of her now. She lost her mind, looked at the backs of the two men, and suddenly felt tired.

"Shen Bai, why are you hiding here, follow me over there, they are all classmates who know each other."

A voice broke the silence in the corner, a name that had been mentioned a lot lately. Yao Qian was stunned and didn't react, but Wen Nan looked at her suspiciously.

Chen Bin called her again: "Shen Bai? ”

Yao Qian came back to her senses and found that everyone was looking at her, "No need, I'm just here." ”

"Then I can't treat you badly. Jiang Xiaoxi also came, with Chen Ziang, why didn't you join them? As he spoke, Chen Bin suddenly stopped, looked at the table in Yao Qian's eyes, and cursed himself secretly.

It felt like someone had their scars uncovered in public, and it hurt. Yao Qian twitched the corners of her mouth and said forcefully, "I'm fine here." ”

She didn't want to go up and say hello, but when she went, what should she say? The words of blessing, Yao Qian choked in his throat after all, and he didn't have the courage to say it.

Chen Bin knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he quickly raised his eyebrows, said a few more greetings, and went to the front hall to greet the guests. After he left, Wen Nan muttered intentionally or unintentionally: "Shen Bai..."

The wedding scene was very lively, Chen Bin knelt in front of the bride excitedly with the microphone, and when he asked her to marry him, Yao Qian's hand under him was unconsciously held.

They hugged each other and kissed each other passionately. It wasn't until the wave of shouting reached its highest that the two shyly left each other. Unexpectedly, the groom Chen Bin would invite Chen Ziang to give a speech as a friend

He must not have been prepared, so the scene would be cold for two minutes.

"Chen Bin and I have known each other since high school."

The clear voice made the audience quiet. Yao Qian looked at him quietly, and he seemed to see her too. The inexplicable gaze turned to her, and she forgot to turn her head.

"I always thought that he would die alone, but I didn't expect him to pick flowers."

Chen Ziang teased, and the guests present all laughed. The only person who didn't laugh except Wen Nan was Yao Qian. One of them didn't want to hear it, and the other didn't listen.

Until Chen Ziang finally stepped down, Yao Qian didn't remember what he said. After Chen Ziang came down, it was Jiang Xiaoxi who came to power. As soon as her voice sounded, Yao Qian and Wen Nan both raised their heads, and this time they listened tacitly again.

She held the microphone, looking a little excited, but mostly a blessing. When Yao Qian's keen eyes touched her hand on her lower abdomen, her heart tingled.

The man's voice rang out again, "You look like a pregnant person." ”

Then there are the woman's coquettish words, "A pregnant doctor is also a doctor." ”

She shuddered, as if someone had woken her up. Seeing her like this, Wen Nan followed her gaze and looked at Jiang Xiaoxi, her eyes heavy.

Until the end of the wedding, Yao Qian didn't know how much wine she had drunk. Wen Nan never said a word to her from beginning to end, but her eyes were always on her.

She asked Yao Qian, "You also love Chen Ziang, right?" ”

There was a hint of defensiveness in his tone.

Yao Qian looked up at her from the red wine and shook her head resolutely.

Wen Nan smiled and said with some contempt: "You look like a jealous woman now." ”

"Jealous?" Yao Qian chuckled and pointed at the two, "Do you know who they are?" How could you possibly know? You won't understand my feelings. ”

She smiled and pointed to her heart, "If you knew, it would hurt here." ”

Yao Qian was drunk, and she was so drunk.

When Wen Nan helped her out of the banquet hall, her whole body was slumped on the ground. Wen Nan looked condescendingly at Yao Qian lying on the ground, and somehow suddenly felt a wave of sympathy.

It turns out that sympathy for others is such a feeling. It is indeed much better than others to sympathize with themselves. The corners of her mouth twitched, and she helped Yao Qian up and sat on the flower bed at the door, squatting aside and smoking.

Filled with smoke, Wen Nan looked at Yao Qian through the white smoke, always felt that she was very similar to herself, and felt that she was more pitiful than herself. Two people who were supposed to be rivals in love sat together like this.

Before she finished smoking a cigarette, Yao Qian began to hold her lower abdomen and vomit, Wen Nan frowned and hid aside. This scene seemed familiar, and Yao Qian's bent waist made her think of the man in the banquet hall at once.

When Wen Nan was stunned, a person had already walked over from the door of the banquet hall and walked in front of them in three or five steps. Wen Nan looked up and saw an angry man.

Yao Qian vomited for a while, there was only a pair of men's patent leather in the corner of her eyes, she was uncomfortable in her stomach and stood up, and before she could see the person clearly, she vomited again, only this time the juice in her stomach was spit on the man's leather shoes.

"I'm sorry." She shouted in a low voice and sat down on the ground.

"Do you have to make such a mess of yourself every time to be happy?" The man's voice, Yao Qian felt very familiar when she heard it. But her whole body was weak, and she still had the strength to stand up, and she couldn't even open her eyes to look at the man.

"Who are you?"

Just such a sentence, Wen Nan watched Chen Ziang hold Yao Qian on the ground and hugged him, but his brows were tightly knit but for the woman in his arms, and he didn't even look at her after leaving.

She extinguished the cigarette in her hand, and there were several people standing at the door of the banquet hall, all of whom were looking at the two people who were walking away. She smiled slightly and chased after her, "Chen Ziang, you stop for me." ”

The man paused, and she stepped forward, "Who is your wife?" No, I should ask, who is the person you love? ”

He glanced back at her slightly, didn't speak, and went straight to the car with Yao Qian in his arms.

Wen Nan pursed his lips and was about to chase after him, but a silver-white figure suddenly rushed out behind him, and the woman's hand was tightly pulled by Gu Jinchen who caught up, Wen Nan heard Gu Jinchen say, "Let them solve it themselves." 166 Reading Network
