In the following days, Xia Xiaoluo concentrated on making all kinds of delicate vegetarian dishes every day. Although Ling Desheng did not speak much to her, he hasn’t eaten the dishes made by the cook since he ate the dishes made by Xia Xiaoluo for the first time.
In the beginning, He Meishu looked down upon Xia Xiaoluo’s cooking skills, she especially took the leftover to have a test. Unexpectedly, the result was that these dishes were really vegetarian. He Meishu acquiesced Xia Xiaoluo to bring food to the hospital every day. Though she didn’t like her, for Ling Desheng’s health and appetite, she could only accept it. However, Qiao Anna came to the hospital every few days. Every time He Meishu saw Qiao Anna, who was a girl with a good temperament. She wanted Qiao Anna to be her daughter-in-law, comparing with Xia Xiaoluo.
On the fourteenth day of the Lunar New Year, after the thorough examination and the confirmation of the doctor, Ling Desheng was allowed to leave the hospital and go home.
Ling Tianyi and Xia Xiaoluo also went back to the villa together. After all, the next day was the Lantern Festival. Although there were some conflicts on the New Year’s Eve and the Spring Festival, they could still get together with the family at the end of the Spring Festival.
Xia Xiaoluo was a little nervous, but this time, no one made trouble for her. Maybe the Ling’s family did not care about Xia Xiaoluo, but they must care about Ling Tianyi, so everything was in peace. They ate and chatted. although it was not warm and intimate enough, at least there was no conflict. Ling Tianyi and Xia Xiaoluo were satisfied with the result.
After dinner, Ling Tianyi left the villa with Xia Xiaoluo.
“Darling, there will be a fireworks performance in A City tonight. It’s not far, in the downtown, near our house. Do you want to go there?” Ling Tianyi asked. He didn’t like these childish things, but if his little wife was interested, he would accompany her to see it. As long as he could make Xia Xiaoluo happy, he would never be bothered to do such boring things.
“I’m very interested in it! Darling, shall we go to see it?” Xia Xiaoluo became excited immediately.
Seeing Xia Xiaoluo’s smile, Ling Tianyi became interested in the fireworks suddenly.
Ling Tianyi took Xia Xiaoluo to the crowded urban area. The speedy sports car was like a snail. If it was in the past, Ling Tianyi had already got angry. But today, he was very patient, it even took him a lot of time to park the car.
Ling Tianyi took Xia Xiaoluo’s hand like normal couples, they were crushed in the crowd. Ling Tianyi also bought the pearl milk tea for Xia Xiaoluo considerately. Xia Xiaoluo was very happy.
“Darling, if every day was the Lantern Festival, it’s really funny and interesting here.” Xia Xiaoluo leaned in Ling Tianyi’s arms and waited for the start of the fireworks at 8 o’clock near the rail by the water.
“Little fool, the fireworks have not started yet. You are so excited. Will you faint out of excitement when you see the fireworks in the sky later?” Ling Tianyi scratched Xia Xiaoluo’s nose and kissed her frozen cheek.
“Darling, you’re cold.” Ling Tianyi took off his coat and put it on Xia Xiaoluo.
“Darling, I’m not cold. Put on your coat quickly. I’m not cold!” Xia Xiaoluo said hurriedly. When they were trapped in a cable car in the snowfield last time, Ling Tianyi gave her all his clothes, and then he lost his consciousness due to coldness. This time, Xia Xiaoluo refused to accept Ling Tianyi’s coat firmly no matter what.
“Yi! What a coincidence!” It was Qiao Anna.
Ling Tianyi ignored Qiao Anna, he insisted on putting his coat on Xiao Xiaoluo. “It is a coincidence! Are you guys come to see the fireworks too?” Xiao Xiaoluo said. Xia Xiaoluo greeted Qiao Anna and Cheng Yalin awkwardly, Cheng Yalin was standing behind Qiao Anna.
Qiao Anna and Cheng Yalin were uncomfortable when they saw Ling Tianyi’s treating his little wife so sweetly. But Qiao Anna still pretended to be natural and graceful, she said with a smile, “That’s so sweet. I didn’t expect you, the big boss, can be so considerate to your wife. Since your wife is not so cold, why do you insist on doing so? If you want to show your gentleman’s manners, how about giving your coat to Yalin. She said she was cold just now.”
What Qiao Anna said made everybody stunned for a moment. Xia Xiaoluo was uncomfortable in her heart obviously, she even didn’t want to mention this so-called first girlfriend of Ling Tianyi. At the same time, Cheng Yalin was pretty upset and anxious because it was impossible for her to get Ling Tianyi’s coat. After all, Ling Tianyi used to put his coat on her. She was looking forward to it, but she was afraid that Ling Tianyi would refuse her as well because Ling Tianyi no longer loved her and he was cold to her. As for Ling Tianyi, he just sighed in his heart, “Qiao Anna is also a trouble maker.”
“Xiaoluo, are you cold?” Ling Tianyi asked Xia Xiaoluo tenderly.
“I am !” Xia Xiaoluo said without hesitation. Since she chose to love Ling Tianyi, she must struggle for him.
“Well! Be obedient! Let me help you.” Ling Tianyi said. He was satisfied with Xia Xiaoluo’s reaction.
A glance of disappointment flashed in Cheng Yalin’s eyes, but she calmed down quickly. She couldn’t show her true feelings too obviously, at least not in front of Ling Tianyi and Xia Xiaoluo.
Qiao Anna seemed alright. After all, no matter what Ling Tianyi’s choice was, she could not enjoy the coat. So she didn’t feel disappointed.
“You feel warm now?” Ling Tianyi helped Xia Xiaoluo to put on his coat and kissed her nose again with love. “Your nose is frozen red.”
Cheng Yalin and Qiao Anna stood and watched them, very awkward.
“Please help yourselves!” Ling Tianyi said.
Hearing Ling Tianyi’s words, Qiao Anna and Cheng Yalin felt embarrassed. They were much better than Xia Xiaoluo in temperament, appearance and the style of conversation. However, Ling Tianyi just preferred Xia Xiaoluo and ignored them.
“Darling, if they don’t go, we go now. It is not our private place, we can find a better place. The fireworks performance will start in five minutes.” Ling Tianyi said, holding Xia Xiaoluo’s waist in one hand, and touching her small hand in the other hand. They left together intimately.
Although Qiao Anna was angry, she patted Cheng Yalin’s shoulders, “It doesn’t matter, we can take our time. You are more excellent than her. Someday he will get tired of Xia Xiaoluo, then he will not neglect you eventually. Don’t worry.”
“Thank you, Anna. I’m glad that you can stay with me today! Otherwise, I will be embarrassed to death!” Cheng Yalin smiled bitterly. She didn’t realize that all the embarrassment was caused by Qiao Anna.
Bang, Bang……
The performance began, the fireworks rushed upstraight into the sky, shooting across the shining track. Then, it bloomed, bloomed, becoming bigger and bigger as the shapes of all kinds of flowers, very dazzling.
Xia Xiaoluo kept looking at the sky excitedly, laughing and jumping.
Seeing that Xia Xiaoluo was so happy, Ling Tianyi was happy as well.
“Darling, the fireworks look like the meteors. Let’s make a wish under them, wishing that we will be together happily forever!” Ling Tianyi prayed, Xia Xiaoluo nodded hurriedly and repeated his words.
They kissed each other again, it was a long kiss with love, lasting for a long time.
“Darling, stop here, there are so many people here. And I want to see the fireworks.” Xia Xiaoluo found an opportunity to speak finally.
“OK, I’ll let you take a break. You have to compensate me when we go back home.” Ling Tianyi said. He pointed to the sky, “The fireworks are really beautiful.”
Under the fireworks, Ling Tianyi embraced Xia Xiaoluo. They were standing intimately and happily.
Both Cheng Yalin and Qiao Anna were jealous, they were angry when they saw it from far away. They wished that they could drag Xia Xiaoluo out and chop her into pieces.
“Yalin, we can’t let Xia Xiaoluo so arrogant. We have to teach her a lesson.” Qiao Anna said.
“Humph! I agree with you!” Cheng Yalin said. She was looking at Xia Xiaoluo angrily, with her eyes full of fire. The woman standing beside Ling Tianyi could be her, but Xia Xiaoluo took her place now, she couldn’t accept it. She didn’t dare to hate Ling Tianyi, so she just put all her hate on Xiao Xiaoluo.
“But Yi is right beside her to protect her. I’m such a useless person!” Qiao Anna said with disappointment deliberately. She knew how clever Ling Tianyi was, so she dared not to provoke Xia Xiaoluo in a flagrant way. But she could urge Cheng Yalin to poke a hornet’s nest. At that moment, she could not only embarrass Xia Xiaoluo but also make Ling Tianyi hate Cheng Yalin even more.
“I’ll do it!” Cheng Yalin said.
Cheng Yalin indeed had some methods. In only ten minutes, she found several hoodlums. She handed a stack of money to the hoodlums and said, “Just pour some hot milk tea, barbecue or something on that girl’s body and face, pretending to be careless.”
Cheng Yalin didn’t dare to go too far, because she was afraid that Ling Tianyi would investigate her. But from what she knew about Ling Tianyi, he would just scold or hit them instead of digging into it, as long as the passers-by didn’t hurt Xia Xiaoluo.
Qiao Anna didn’t say anything from the beginning. Even when Cheng Yalin arranged for this, she just pretended to fix her make-up, not making her face be seen by the hoodlums.
Of course, Qiao Anna thought that Cheng Yalin took too much mercy on Xia Xiaoluo. But it was just as well. All she needed to do was to find an opportunity to tell Ling Tianyi all the truth with exaggeration carelessly.
Just one minute, or even in a shorter time.
Xia Xiaoluo screamed, Ling Tianyi’s coat and Xia Xiaoluo’s faces and hands were in a mess.
“Are you blind? Don’t you know how to walk? Bastard!” Ling Tianyi roared. He had no intention to fight with the hoodlums at this moment. He just wanted to take care of the miserable Xia Xiaoluo.
“You wanted to be beaten? How dare you curse me. Come on bros.! Let’s beat him up!” One of the hoodlums roared. They didn’t know Ling Tianyi, so they were very reckless.
Cheng Yalin saw the conflicts from far away, she was afraid that Ling Tianyi would investigate her for this event. But Qiao Anna was happy in her heart. If they really fought with each other, Cheng Yalin won’t get rid of this even if she did not send news secretly. Of course, she could still be the “nice guy”, continuing to stir up the relationship between Cheng Yalin and Ling Tianyi.
“Darling, don’t fight with them. They didn’t do it on purpose. Let’s go!” Xia Xiaoluo said hurriedly. Ling Tianyi has already fought for her many times, she didn’t want him to fight for her again.
“Don’t try to run away, you offend us, it’s not that easy to leave!” The hoodlums continued yelling.
“Then you guys can fight with me together!” Ling Tianyi said. Then he put Xia Xiaoluo behind him and rolled up his sleeves.
