Chapter 1074 One Meal Resolves the Problem
Shen Qing looked at Wu Jiao and always felt that something was off about Wu Jiao's words.
She suddenly noticed a bruise on Wu Jiao's chin.
He then asked, "What happened to you? Don't tell me you got into a fight with Qin Feng?"
Wu Jiao gently touched it, "How could that be? I accidentally fell."
This happened because Gu Yuan hit her when she went to the competition today.
"Why are you so careless?"
Wu Jiao simply smiled and said, "It's okay, it'll be fine in a couple of days."
"By the way, how are things between you and Qin Feng now? Are you still barely talking?"
Wu Jiao nodded, "Apart from talking about the child, we don't talk to each other at other times."
"You two are living under the same roof now, haven't you thought about taking things further?"
Wu Jiao shook her head. "Qin Feng brought this up with me today. But how can I forgive him so easily? All the injuries and suffering I've endured were caused by him."
"Okay, I just feel that what you two are doing isn't the same. Even if you don't stay with him, you should at least find someone who can take care of you in the future."
"Sigh!" Wu Jiao sighed. "I don't want to think about it for now. I just want to take good care of my child and be there for him as he grows up. That's my goal in life."
"There's something else I need to tell you. I ran into Li Jingnan's father a couple of days ago. I hope he didn't come looking for his granddaughter!"
Wu Jiao was taken aback. "No. Wasn't he missing for a long time? How come he suddenly reappeared?"
“I don’t know either. It was a few nights ago, but we didn’t talk. He looked very unwell from a distance. He probably knew that his daughter had passed away.”
Wu Jiao curled the corners of her lips. "It has little to do with me. If he wants to see Yueyue, then let Qin Feng bring the child for him to see. I can't control how family members meet."
"I doubt he'd even dare to see him. Qin Feng and Li Zekun had quite a falling out back then." As she spoke, Shen Qing suddenly smiled, finding the memory somewhat amusing.
Suddenly, Shen Qing noticed a glove under Wu Jiao's TV cabinet.
This looks just like the glove she found at the venue, and it's similar to the one that the woman who's good at Tai Chi dropped.
Before she could even look at it carefully...
At this moment, Wu Jiao also noticed that Shen Qing's gaze was fixed on the glove under the TV cabinet.
She quickly said, "Shen Qing, there's something I need to tell you."
Shen Qing turned around. "What is it?"
"Have you eaten yet?"
"Yes what's the matter?"
"Let me treat you to dinner! I've been wanting to thank you properly for a while."
"Going out to eat? Forget it! We still have kids at home."
"It's alright, Qin Feng went to pick up Yueyue and will be back in a little while. He can take care of the children."
"This……"
"Alright, just listen to me, because I don't know how to thank you."
Shen Qing smiled and said, "Alright then!"
Just then, Qin Feng returned.
Wu Jiao said directly, "You stay home and take care of the two children. Shen Qing and I are going out to eat."
"Okay, you guys go ahead!" Qin Feng nodded in agreement. He was willing to do anything to rekindle his relationship with Wu Jiao.
Then Wu Jiao looked at Shen Qing and said, "Let's go!"
"it is good!"
The two people went out the door.
Shen Qing asked, puzzled, "Why did you suddenly want to invite me to dinner?"
"I've been wanting to treat you to dinner for a while now, and it just so happens that you haven't had dinner either."
"Okay, I just think you're not exactly rolling in money right now, so there's really no need for you to treat me to a meal." Shen Qing was still considering Wu Jiao's feelings.
"It's alright, one meal won't make a difference. You've helped me so much, you should at least let me thank you in a small way. Otherwise, I'll really feel bad."
"Okay, let's have something simple to eat then."
“No, Shen Qing, we’ll eat whatever you want.” Wu Jiao said this from the bottom of her heart.
This made her feel less guilty.
"Hmm... how about we eat at a roadside food stall? I haven't had it in ages, and I suddenly have a craving," Shen Qing said.
Wu Jiao looked at her and asked, "Do you really want to eat at a roadside food stall?"
"Mmm." Shen Qing nodded. She also didn't want Wu Jiao to spend too much money.
"Okay, let's go eat then."
The two went to a roadside food stall.
……
Winter is gradually fading away, and the breath of spring is in the air.
The nights weren't as cold as they had been a few days ago.
The night unfolds like a damp cloth, casting a hazy, gentle glow over the bustling city.
The streetlights lit up one after another, casting a dim yellow glow on the asphalt road. Shen Qing and Wu Jiao walked side by side on the sidewalk, their shadows stretched long, overlapping and separating with each step, much like the subtle and tense relationship they had shared over the years.
A slight chill filled the air, mixed with the smells of cooking oil and food wafting from afar.
“Let’s go with that one up ahead,” Wu Jiao’s voice broke the silence. She pointed to a food stall not far away with a red and blue striped awning. Several tables of customers were already seated under the awning, and the sounds of laughter, clinking glasses, and the sizzling of spatulas against woks mingled together, creating a lively atmosphere. “I’ve passed by before and I saw that their business was pretty good.”
Shen Qing looked in the direction she pointed, nodded, and had a faint smile on her lips: "Sure, it's been a long time since I've had this kind of roadside stall. I miss it."
Now, the two of them really don't seem like colleagues who used to have conflicts.
Before they knew it, the two of them were getting closer and closer.
Shen Qing gradually forgave their past relationship, and Wu Jiao slowly improved, maintaining their current relationship.
The two found an inconspicuous spot and sat down.
We used to dislike each other so much that it felt like there was an invisible gunpowder in the air.
Those once-solid barriers melted away silently in these unexpected moments.
The owner warmly invited them to sit down at a greasy little square table with plastic stools. The menu was handwritten on a small blackboard.
"What would you like to eat?" Wu Jiao pushed the menu toward Shen Qing, her tone natural, like that of an old friend.
Shen Qing didn't stand on ceremony and pointed to the blackboard: "Let's have some stir-fried crayfish, and a few skewers of grilled lamb, with extra spice."
"Wow, I didn't know you could handle spicy food so well." Wu Jiao raised an eyebrow, a hint of teasing in her eyes, but without her usual sharpness. "Okay, how about another garlic eggplant, some grilled chicken wings, and two more beers?"
Wu Jiao looked at Shen Qing, as if seeking Shen Qing's opinion.
"Sure!" Shen Qing smiled and looked at Wu Jiao. "What? You want to drink some more?"
"It's mainly because this is the first time we're having a proper meal together, so of course we should have a drink. Is that alright with you?"
"I'm OK."
Soon, sizzling skewers and bright red crayfish were served, their aroma instantly filling the air.
The beer bottle popped open with a "pop," releasing a burst of foam that brought a sense of pleasure.
Wu Jiao poured wine for Shen Qing, and then poured some for herself as well.
"Shen Qing, let me toast you first. This is to express my gratitude for your help during this time. Although I can't repay you as soon as possible, I will always remember it in my heart and I haven't forgotten it."
After saying that, Wu Jiao started working on it.
Then he poured one for himself.
"Okay, let's have a drink together."
The two clinked glasses, and the beer slid down their throats, seemingly washing away all the unpleasantness of the past.
