Song Yuanxi’s face was completely red.
Her eyes red, she lowered her head. After hearing what Xia Yehua had to say, she hurriedly said, “Auntie, he wouldn’t lie to me.”
“Have you met him before? Do you know how he is in real life? Yuanxi, you were so obedient when you were young, but now… you make others worry way too much! No, I will never let you meet him.”
“Auntie…” A doe-eyed Song Yuanxi raised her head and widened her eyes. She looked pleadingly at Qiao Lian and said, “Auntie…”
Before she could finish pleading, tears rolled down her face. “What I have with him is true love, so I—”
She cupped her mouth and lowered her head. For someone who had always been good-tempered and gentle, at this moment she was being surprisingly stubborn.
Qiao Lian looked at her.
She suddenly remembered her past self.
She had agreed to meet Zi Chuan in Beijing and bought airplane tickets, intending to fly there.
However, her mother disapproved immensely of her decision and had said similar things to what Xia Yehua had just said.
How had her past self handled this situation?
She had irritatedly said, “Mom, Zi Chuan wouldn’t lie to me.”
When she said this, she had been exceptionally insistent and exceptionally confident.
Just like how Song Yuanxi was behaving now.
Xia Yehua pointed at her and said, “You have only known him for a couple of days and you already want to meet him?”
“Auntie, you were the one who said that online romances were unreliable. Therefore, we decided to meet each other, so that this romance wouldn’t exist exclusively online and would move forward.”
“No! Definitely not! You know nothing about this man. If you go over, meet him and get conned in the process, do you know how sad you’ll be?”
Song Yuanxi bit her lip, feeling extremely wronged.
Xia Yehua patted her chest and said, “You’ll be the death of me!”
Song Yuanxi immediately walked over and patted her back, saying, “Auntie, please don’t be angry. I promise I won’t go.”
She was so obedient that any outsider would feel compassion and heartache on her behalf.
As Qiao Lian and Shen Liangchuan stood on the side and watched, their feelings became even more complicated.
Many online romances failed once they transitioned into the physical world.
However, Song Yuanxi had a decent appearance, thus she was unlikely to be given the cold shoulder.
Qiao Lian pursed her lips and suddenly said, “Mom, let her go.”
As she finished speaking, Song Yuanxi joyfully raised her head.
Xia Yehua’s entire body froze.
Shen Liangchuan’s gaze also fixated on Qiao Lian.
Qiao Lian smiled and said, “It’s normal for Yuanxi to meet her friend. If you are still worried about her, I’ll accompany her to the meeting.”
Xia Yehua frowned and was about to speak when Shen Liangchuan said, “She is already an adult after all, so she should be able to decide some things for herself.”
Xia Yehua took a deep breath after hearing this and said, “Fine, fine. I’ll stop minding about your teenage issues! I don’t care anymore, just go!”
Song Yuanxi immediately became excited and said, “Auntie, you’re the best!”
Then, she rushed upstairs.
Qiao Lian could already tell what she was doing upstairs even without following her. She was probably picking out the clothes and accessories that she would be wearing… just like her past self.
Her past self…
After convincing her parents at their home, she flew to Beijing all by herself and excitedly went to meet Zi Chuan.
She had prepared so many things just to meet him.
She had practically brought every piece of beautiful clothing she owned with her. Thus, she dragged a large suitcase along with her.
At the hotel, she tried out many outfits before finally deciding on one.
After she was satisfied with how she looked in the mirror, she went out and hailed a cab. She then headed to the agreed location.
She arrived two hours early at the agreed-upon cafe. Therefore, she managed to find a good spot to sit down. There, she waited for him silently.
