In the police station, Ling Tianyi and Xia Xiaoluo told the police what happened in detail. Ling Tianyi felt guilty and he said continuously, “I’m so stupid! Obviously, it was a trap, but I insisted on falling into it! I should have called Xia Youfeng at the beginning, so it wouldn’t be so serious!”
Xia Xiaoluo always said that she was still frightened. However, Ling Tianyi was more frightened than Xia Xiaoluo.
In addition, Ling Tianyi was also regretful. He realized that he should pay not only more attention to Xia Xiaoluo, but also to the things and people around her. Cheng Yalin died, her things were over, so she couldn’t do harm to Xia Xiaoluo anymore. Ling Tianyi could forget what Cheng Yalin did before, but he was afraid that other evil people like Xia Jingru and Lv Errou would cause trouble for Xia Xiaoluo even though they were not able to do anything serious. Therefore, Ling Tianyi made up his mind to protect his little wife more carefully in the future.
Ling Tianyi took Xia Xiaoluo home, taking good care of her. As Ling Desheng’s son, Ling Tianyi also called Ling Desheng to tell him what happened today, regardless of whether someone had told Ling Desheng or not.
Ling Desheng said nothing special, but he felt relieved. Because Cheng Yalin died, this could avoid many unnecessary troubles. However, Ling Desheng was afraid that Chu Wei couldn’t get rid of the shadow in his heart, which would affect Ling Tianxue.
Ling Desheng kept what happened as a secret from He Meishu for fear that she would be worried. To fulfill his responsibilities as a father, Ling Desheng just told Ling Tianyi and Ling Tianxue something to warn them.
While Xia Xiaoluo was still fearful, He Meishu was busy playing Mahjong with Qiao Anna’s aunt. They talked about the marriage of young people again.
Having nothing else to do, they kept talking about it, several rich ladies were involved as well. Finally, they agreed to arrange a blind date for Ling Tianyi and Qiao Anna.
Those women used to procrastinate in common days, but they decided to arrange a blind date on the evening of next Saturday quickly.
Knowing it, Qiao Anna was thrilled in her heart, but she still behaved shyly and gracefully. She knew that her family wanted her to marry Ling Tianyi, but she didn’t expect that things would go so soon.
Qiao Anna thought that everything went on smoothly. Before having the blind date, Qiao Anna had befriended with Ling Tianxue. They went shopping and had dinner together. She also left a good impression on He Meishu, her future mother-in-law. The most important thing was, she had helped Ling Tianyi a lot to deal with Cheng Yalin, winning Ling Tianyi’s favor and trust.
Qiao Anna believed that she would definitely attract Ling Tianyi as long as she got close to him step by step, because she was far better than Xia Xiaoluo in the temperament, family background and other aspects. In her opinion, Xia Xiaoluo won Ling Tianyi’s love because of her luck, which would not last for long, because Xia Xiaoluo was too stupid. She was sure that she would be Ms. Ling one day.
In order to leave a fascinating impression on Ling Tianyi, she spent a lot. Qiao Anna bought a luxurious formal dress and asked famous styling designers to dress her up. After all, she hoped that Ling Tianyi would fall in love with her when he saw her.
But Ling Tianyi was totally ignorant of the blind date because He Meishu kept it as a secret from him. Knowing that Ling Tianyi only loved Xia Xiaoluo, He Meishu was afraid that Ling Tianyi would not to go for the blind date if she told him everything in advance.
At the nightfall of Saturday, Ling Tianyi planned to have dinner with Xia Xiaoluo and watch TV shows with her at home to please her. And then, he could make love with her happily.
However, He Meishu called Ling Tianyi and said, “Yi! I’m having dinner with my friends outside, but I forgot to bring my wallet with me! It’s embarrassing now, so can you take my wallet for me? I’m in the Taohuayuan VIP room of the Haotianjiayan Restaurant.”
“Mom, it’s such a small case and I will call the manager there to fix it! Or I will ask Tianxue to help you!” Ling Tianyi said. He wanted to go nowhere because what he want was to accompany his little wife.
“It’s not a small case! I invited my friends to dinner, but I forgot to bring my wallet with me! It’s so shameful! The only way is that you come here and pay for the bill! You are my son and I have made efforts to bring you up, but you are reluctant to help me to deal with it! You don’t care about me at all after you get married! My care and efforts are all in vain!” He Meishu was irritated, Ling Tianyi could feel it by her tone.
“Well, mom, I will go! Don’t be angry.” Ling Tianyi said. Although he was reluctant to go, he had to. Because he knew that He Meishu would definitely blame Xia Xiaoluo for it if he left her mother alone.
Xia Xiaoluo was waiting for the TV show, she somehow heard the conversation, “Darling, where are you going? Shall I go with you?”
“Mom invited her friends to dinner, but she forgot to take her wallet. So she asked me to pay for the bill. But I know that what she wants to do is to show off her son who is handsome, capable and obedient.” Ling Tianyi thought that he knew her mother well.
“What about me? Do I need to go?” Xia Xiaoluo asked.
Ling Tianyi thought about it for a while, “Be a lamb. Just stay at home and don’t go out. Mon is still angry with you, so I’m afraid that she would embarrass you, and I will be worried about you.”
“Darling, when will you come back? I really want to watch the TV show with you!” Xia Xiaoluo said. She always watched the funny program alone, but she preferred watching the program with Ling Tianyi.
“I will come back in half an hour because Haotianjiayan Restaurant is not far away. Wait for me at home and call me if you have something.” Ling Tianyi put his coat on, kissed Xia Xiaoluo’s lips and finally left.
The moment he left the house, Qiao Anna’s scout reported that to her. She sent an anonymous message to Xia Xiaoluo after that. “Xia Xiaoluo, your husband is going for a blind date in the Taohuayuan VIP room of the Haotianjiayan Restaurant.”
After reading the message, Xia Xiaoluo was shocked. She couldn’t believe it, she almost choked to death. She called back at once but it was powered off.
Xia Xiaoluo always forced herself to be rational and to trust Ling Tianyi, but she wasn’t confident of herself. What was more, He Meishu disliked her and Ling Desheng forced her to leave Ling Tianyi before though he didn’t treat her bad now.
Xia Xiaoluo hesitated about calling Ling Tianyi because she dared not to. Therefore, she decided to go to the restaurant to see what would happen on earth. She wanted to know whether Ling Tianyi went just to pay for the bills, or he took it as an excuse to go for a blind date in order to abandon her right after finding someone else.
Xia Xiaoluo took a taxi to the Haotianjiayan Restaurant secretly by following Ling Tianyi. However, she could not find the Taohuayuan VIP room. She had to admit she was terrible with the directions sometimes.
At that time, her quarrelsome friend, Fang Ruichen in sports clothes appeared, his clothes were not suitable for the luxurious style there. He patted Xia Xiaoluo on one of her shoulders secretly.
“Ah!” Xia Xiaoluo screamed out of scare.
“Fang Ruichen! Pig Fang! You scared me! Why did you pat me on my shoulder furtively? I am so frightened!” Xia Xiaoluo was angry when she saw Fang Ruichen.
“I didn’t do it furtively! It’s you who behaved furtively just now! It’s you who want to do something evil!” Fang Ruichen crossed his arms. He felt delighted when he met Xia Xiaoluo. Knowing that Cheng Yalin did something evil to Xia Xiaoluo and almost killed her, Fang Ruichen really wanted to comfort her. But he couldn’t help bickering with Xia Xiaoluo every time they met.
“Bullshit! I have something else to do and don’t follow me! You are just a nuisance!” Xia Xiaoluo said, being annoyed.
“The restaurant belongs to my family. To be more specific, this restaurant belongs to me, Fang Ruichyen! Although I did not operate it in common days, I’m still the manager here! So I can decide everything here!” Fang Ruichen said with a smile.
“What?” Xia Xiaoluo looked at Fang Ruichen, she couldn’t believe it. She knew that Fang Ruichen was rich, but she didn’t expect that he could run a restaurant besides studying and playing basketball.
“What’s up? I can’t be the manager of a restaurant? Although I don’t come here every day, I take charge of the accounts and the major events! Do you think that I’m awesome now? Do you admire me now?”
“Humph! I don’t admire you at all! You are so narcissistic! Now that you are the manager here, I’m your customer and the customer is God! I don’t want to see you now! You go away now!” Xia Xiaoluo said impatiently because she wanted to find Ling Tianyi.
“Are you looking for the Taohuayuan VIP room to see whether your husband is having a blind date with another woman?” Fang Ruichen said with a smile
“Don’t talk nonsense!” Xia Xiaoluo denied at once. Suddenly she thought of something. So she pointed at Fang Ruichen’s nose and asked, “Fang Ruichen, you sent me the anonymous message! You led me to come here on purpose!”
“I know nothing about the anonymous message! I, Fang Ruichen, always do things directly! I wanted to call you to tell you about it, but I met you by accident just now!” Fang Ruichen said. Xia Xiaoluo thought for a while and believed him. However, she still didn’t know who sent the anonymous message to her.
“Xiaoluo, Ling Tianyi is not reliable at all! You are his wife, but he still goes to have a blind date secretly! What’s more, he didn’t really marry you in A Country! Your marriage is fake! I wanted to tell you about it before, but I have no chance to talk with you!” Fang Ruichen said to Xia Xiaoluo seriously.
“No! No! My husband is reliable! I trust him!” Xia Xiaoluo became excited, she trembled when she was talking.
“Humph! You don’t trust him at all! If you trust him, why do you come here today?” Xia Xiaoluo didn’t know how to answer Fang Ruichen. “Xiaoluo, there is a monitoring probe in the Taohuayuan VIP room. The image and voice are both clear. I will show you the surveillance videos to see what is happening on earth. Seeing is believing!”
“Follow me!” Fang Ruichen took Xia Xiaoluo into the monitor room directly, regardless of her willingness.
Fang Ruichen drove the other staff away. He adjusted the facility carefully and pointed at the image, “Look! Ling Tianyi is going to have a blind date with Qiao Anna!”
“But my husband told me that he just went to pay for the bill because his mother didn’t bring money with her.” Xia Xiaoluo said sadly.
“Do you really think that He Meishu is short of money? She is the mother of the richest man in A City! Due to her status, nobody will embarrass her! Why does she ask Ling Tianyi to pay for the bill? How can you believe that? You are so stupid!” Fang Ruichen shook his head helplessly.
“Ling Tianyi’s mother wanted to show off Ling Tianyi to her friends.” Xia Xiaoluo said. Seeing that Qiao Anna was charming and graceful, Xia Xiaoluo thought of that Qiao Anna has helped her. “Qiao Anna is a kind person, she won’t rob my husband!”
“Alas! It’s impossible to judge a man’s heart from his face! Listen to what they are talking about! They regard Ling Tianyi and Qiao Anna as a perfect couple!” Fang Ruichen sneered, it was Qiao Anna’s aunt who said that.
Xia Xiaoluo heard it clearly. She didn’t care what others said. But she didn’t understand why Ling Tianyi just sat there quietly without saying anything. Ling Tianyi told Xia Xiaoluo that he just went to pay for the bill and satisfy his mother. But why he was sitting there and drinking with Qiao Anna.
Xia Xiaoluo was depressed, she almost burst into tears because she thought that she was cheated.
“Darling, why did you lie to me? Are you really going for a blind date?” Xia Xiaoluo couldn’t control her emotions anymore, she squatted and burst into tears.
