Chapter 547

Sun Manning was the first to blurt out, "Holy crap! Li Heng is that awesome? He's already handled Xiao Han's family?"

Others might not know about the affair between Chen Zijin and Li Heng, but she did. She even knew that their scandal had once caused a huge stir in the ten miles and eight villages of the former town.

Since she knew, there was no reason the Xiao family in the small town wouldn't be clear about the matter between Li Heng and Chen Zijin.

Therefore, she couldn't imagine how Li Heng managed to handle Xiao Han's mother.

She also couldn't imagine how Xiao Han's mother could accept Li Heng.

If it were her, upon learning that her daughter's partner was two-timing, she would have kicked him out with a stick, no questions asked.

Sun Manning appeared extremely surprised.

Mai Sui's inner state was no better; she thought much the same as Manning. Then she put the needle in her hand into the basin and said to the girls: "Wash your hands and help me tidy things up."

Her tidying up meant both moving Mai Sui's personal belongings to the small building at No. 27 next door, and also cleaning up Li Heng's home to leave a good impression on Xiao Han's mother.

The girls understood Sui Sui's intentions in a second and threw down the river snails and needles in their hands, standing up.

Sun Manning was instinctively a bit resistant, but the words died on her lips. She thought to herself, Xiao Han taking the lead doesn't mean anything; the future is still long, and Song Yu hasn't shown her true colors yet. Who wins and who loses in the future cannot be concluded too early.

In this girl's heart, it didn't matter if Song Yu or Mai Sui came out on top; they were both her good sisters, which was beneficial to her. Even Chen Zijin would be fine; their relationship was very good.

But she wasn't familiar with Xiao Han; if Xiao Han and Li Heng got married, it wouldn't be easy to come over and visit anymore.

Zhou Shihe glanced at Mai Sui and followed her into the house quietly.

Ye Ning, however, couldn't suppress her curiosity and asked in a low voice: "Sui Sui, can you really endure this? Xiao Han's mother has come over, so it's a done deal. Don't you want to marry Li Heng at all?"

Mai Sui just smiled gently, explaining nothing.

After washing their hands, the four girls moved everything out of the second-floor guest bedroom on tiptoe, moving Mai Sui's clothes to the small building at No. 27 next door in batches.

During the break when Ye Ning and Sun Manning were chasing each other, Zhou Shihe asked gently: "Will you come back later?"

This "come back" referred to moving back to the small building at No. 26 after Xiao Han's mother left.

Mai Sui joked: "Why? Won't you take me in?"

Zhou Shihe smiled faintly and teased for once: "Stay here for a while; I want to see him look anxious."

In fact, both women knew clearly that Li Heng would definitely not be used to it.

Unexpectedly, after Mai Sui lowered her head and considered it for a while, she actually agreed: "Okay."

Zhou Shihe was surprised, her face showing a strange expression: "You get jealous too?"

Mai Sui shook her head: "No."

Zhou Shihe stared at her.

It took a good while for Mai Sui to explain: "Now is his honeymoon period with Xiao Han; I should make space for them."

Zhou Shihe asked a question she had wanted to ask for a long time: "Why do you always yield? Is it really because you don't want to make things difficult for him? Or is there some unspeakable secret?"

Mai Sui said: "I don't want to make things difficult for him."

Zhou Shihe suddenly said: "Is the woman Manning mentioned who can rival me your high school classmate? Is she your best friend? Did Li Heng fall in love with her at first sight? Are you avoiding competing for Li Heng because of her?"

The reason for guessing that Li Heng fell in love with that person at first sight was supported by two points:

That was because Li Heng fell in love with her at first sight; the scene of their first meeting felt like it happened yesterday, vivid in her mind. Zhou Shihe remembered it very clearly.

It's just that Li Heng was relatively restrained and never did anything to harass her.

This was also the reason why she didn't overly doubt Li Heng's perfunctory words to Wang Ye in the private room.

Manning said that person could rival her. The amorous Li Heng was like this to her, so perhaps the situation was the same for that person.

The second supporting reason.

According to her observations over the past year or so, the relationship between Sui Sui and Xiao Han was just that of ordinary friends; there was no need to give up sacred love for this ordinary friendship.

Moreover, Li Heng liked Sui Sui very much, and this liking increased with time. If they really tore off the mask and competed with Xiao Han, it would be hard to say who would win.

Xiao Han had known him for a long time and had deep feelings; this was an advantage.

But being close to the water gets the moonlight first was Sui Sui's greatest advantage.

Coupled with the inner charm Sui Sui possessed that was always bewitching people, in matters between men and women, Xiao Han might not necessarily get the upper hand.

If Sui Sui were a bit more ruthless, gave herself to Li Heng, and used some means in bed to completely entangle him, after a long time, Xiao Han, who was destined to be busy as a doctor, would gradually fall behind.

Therefore, according to Zhou Shihe's simulation summary, in this protracted war, time, distance, profession, and matters between men and women were all on Sui Sui's side; in the end, there was a high probability she could win against Xiao Han.

Of course, there was one variable: Yu Laoshi.

However, she felt that neither Yu Laoshi nor Xiao Han were reasons for Sui Sui's inaction. There should be something deeper binding her.

Because of all this, Zhou Shihe made the speculation that the person in Manning's words was likely Sui Sui's best friend.

Mai Sui was shocked in her heart; she didn't expect that Manning had only let something slip once, and Shihe had actually associated so much!

Fortunately, all of this was just speculation.

Remembering that Shihe had probed Song Yu last time, Mai Sui used facts to deny it again this time: "I once promised Li Heng that I would not interfere in his private emotional life."

Not interfering in his private emotions was a fact; it was something she had promised.

And using this fact was perfect for avoiding the question Shihe asked; she neither betrayed Li Heng nor lied to Shihe.

Zhou Shihe secretly paid attention to her best friend's micro-expressions. After confirming she wasn't lying, she began to mutter to herself: could it be that she was overthinking?

She asked: "When did you make the promise?"

Mai Sui replied: "A while after university started."

Zhou Shihe asked: "Your feelings hadn't been revealed then, right?"

Mai Sui said: "He is very smart. From the day I followed him to Fudan University, I guess he had figured out all my thoughts. For a long time after that, he was just playing dumb."

Zhou Shihe recalled Li Heng's character, accepted this explanation, and immediately suppressed her doubts.

There were two main reasons for suppressing her doubts:

One was that she had fallen into a cognitive trap.

She thought that if it were really as she guessed, Li Heng should have followed that person to university, not come to Shanghai.

She remembered Li Heng personally admitting that he and Xiao Han officially got together after the college entrance examination. If he had fallen in love with the woman in Manning's words at first sight during high school, then it would be self-contradictory.

Zhou Shihe felt that with Xiao Han's arrogance, she might not be willing to be someone else's substitute.

Another reason was that currently, her relationship with Li Heng was just that of good friends, with no extra ties, so she didn't have much interest in exploring the truth.

….

Li Heng woke up.

Subconsciously, he took the watch on the nightstand and looked at it; it was already 9:12.

Damn, he had actually slept for a full 8 hours. He yawned, put down the watch, and got up to wash.

But when he passed the guest bedroom, his eyebrows furrowed deeply, and he couldn't help but stop.

Empty?

Moving everything out, was Mai Sui going to leave him?

Thinking of this, Li Heng's heart was instantly filled with a huge sense of loss; he felt like the sky was collapsing. He didn't care about washing up and first quickly searched the first and second floors, but there was no one.

Then he sprinted to the small building at No. 27 next door.

This time he hit the mark; as soon as he entered, he saw the four girls eating breakfast together.

Hearing a loud commotion at the door, the four girls looked up in unison.

Then they saw Li Heng anxiously and hurriedly walk to Mai Sui's side, staring at her without blinking.

Sensing that something was wrong with him, Mai Sui put down the fried dough stick, stood up, and asked softly: "What's wrong with you?"

Li Heng tried his best to be calm: "Moved your things away?"

"Oh my! So that's what it is. Mai Sui said she doesn't want to be with you anymore." Sun Manning sucked down a mouthful of tofu pudding, recklessly fanning the flames.

Mai Sui ignored Sun Manning's provocation and reached out to pull Li Heng.

Li Heng didn't move.

Mai Sui thought for a moment on the spot, then made a move that broke everyone's defenses: she leaned her upper body forward and, with lightning speed, kissed him on the cheek.

Then she blushed and asked with her head held high: "Can I be unreasonable?"

Li Heng felt like he was on a roller coaster; his mood improved greatly, and he grinned happily: "You can."

Then he picked up Mai Sui in front of everyone and asked happily: "Haven't seen you for a night, why have you become so bossy?"

"Ah! So annoying! If you want to show off your affection, go to the bedroom; don't affect us single dogs eating breakfast." Sun Manning complained frantically.

Ye Ning echoed: "Exactly, exactly! Sui Sui, if you are this outrageous again, be careful, or Manning and I will find ten or eight handsome guys to kiss in front of you two, and see if you can stand it."

Zhou Shihe glanced at Mai Sui, then at the place on Li Heng's face that had just been kissed. Because Sui Sui had been eating fried dough sticks, a clear lipstick mark remained on his face.

Her gaze lingered on the shiny lipstick mark for two seconds, and then Miss Zhou lowered her head and continued to eat her thousand-layer cake in small bites.

Being held in the air, Mai Sui felt a bit shy and said in a small voice: "Put me down first; I have something to tell you."

"Okay." Li Heng happily spun her around and then put her down.

Li Heng's action made the two girls nearby laugh out loud, and all kinds of teasing words followed.

Mai Sui couldn't handle it, pulled Li Heng away, and went out the door.

Until the two were about to disappear at the entrance, Zhou Shihe, who had her head down, looked up at the man and woman, and then went back to eating her thousand-layer cake seriously.

Back at the small building at No. 26, Mai Sui didn't hesitate and told him about Xiao Han and her mother waiting at Wujiaochang, then looked at him quietly.

After listening, Li Heng was completely relieved and then said: "No next time. I can't bear the pain of not seeing you when I wake up."

Mai Sui smiled softly and said playfully like in high school: "I did the math, you can't live without me in your life."

Li Heng reached out to her.

The two looked at each other for a moment, smiled softly at the same time, and then she took two steps forward, walked into his arms, hugged him, and said softly in his ear: "I'll say it one last time: as long as you don't drive me away, I will accompany you for the rest of my life."

Li Heng hugged her tightly, greedily smelling her hair, and said: "I can't bear to."

"Mm."

Feeling his pampering, Mai Sui tilted her head and kissed his cheek again, apologizing: "I was in a bit of a rush today and forgot to leave a note to explain the situation. I promise it won't happen next time."

After hugging for a while, Li Heng was moved and wanted to kiss her.

Mai Sui turned her head to avoid it and urged him: "Go wash up quickly; today is your big day, don't keep people waiting."

Li Heng wouldn't give up: "Are you disgusted that I haven't brushed my teeth?"

Mai Sui couldn't help but laugh; she could only lift her head slightly and close her eyes helplessly.

Li Heng leaned over, kissed her lips lightly like a dragonfly skimming the water, let her go, and said: "I'll just take a shower."

Unexpectedly, Wei Xiaozhu shook her head: "No. Mai Sui's feelings for you are deeper than the sea; she would rather wrong herself than make things difficult for you."

Li Heng listened in silence; he loved Mai Sui more and more.

But the more he loved her, the more guilty he felt, because he couldn't give her everything she wanted.

Wei Xiaozhu opened the soda, took two sips, and asked: "Li Heng, can I ask you a question?"

Li Heng raised his eyelids: "If it's too hard to answer, please let me off."

Wei Xiaozhu laughed, thought for a moment, and said: "It is indeed very difficult, so I'll change the question: how will you handle that girl from today?"

Li Heng didn't react for a moment: "Girl? Which one do you mean? I've come into contact with many girls today."

Indeed there were many, like Li Xian, Huang Ziyue, etc.

Wei Xiaozhu said: "The one on the bus?"

"Oh, you mean her." Li Heng said "oh".

She asked: "Is her name Wu Siyao?"

Li Heng was surprised: "You know her?"

Wei Xiaozhu said: "I have 3 high school classmates at Tongji University, and Wu Siyao is very famous there; when we took the train back to Lianyungang together last time, I heard them mention this name."

So that was it, Li Heng answered casually: "We are old friends; there are some things I say that you definitely won't think I'm arrogant.

To a certain extent, you and I are the same type of person, relatively popular with the opposite sex from a young age, and feelings are selfish, emphasizing mutual consent; you can't go around taking care of their feelings.

By the same token, I am the same."

Wei Xiaozhu tilted her head slightly: "Even someone as beautiful as Wu Siyao gets no special treatment from you?"

Li Heng asked back: "Old Hu is also quite handsome, didn't you also not take a fancy to him?"

Wei Xiaozhu was speechless, "Hu Ping is not the type I like."

Li Heng nodded: "My energy is limited."

Wei Xiaozhu stared at him, and after a while, she realized: "It seems Wu Siyao just isn't beautiful enough; if it were Shihe, you definitely wouldn't say such things."

Li Heng narrowed his eyes: "You wanted to ask about Zhou Shihe before, right?"

Wei Xiaozhu looked up at the sky, beaming: "I went in a big circle, but was still seen through by you."

Li Heng waved his hand: "I don't want to answer this question."

Wei Xiaozhu glanced at him, spirited: "But I have the answer in my heart, what should I do?"

"Forget it." Li Heng checked his watch again, stood up, and left.

Watching his back disappear into the entrance of the outpatient building, Wei Xiaozhu, who slowly restrained her expression, stared at the soda in her hand for a long while, then picked up the soda cap on the grass, threw it into the trash can along with the unfinished soda, and left too.

20 minutes later, Li Heng and Xiao Han left the hospital.

Xiao Han crossed her hands over her abdomen and asked sweetly: "Mr. Li, it's past 4 in the afternoon now, where do you plan to stay tonight?"

Some things are understood as soon as they are heard; the black-bellied wife has to accompany her mother and eldest sister for these two days and has no time to accompany him.

And given his current relationship with Wei Shiman, it's not advisable to get too close for the time being, otherwise, the conflicts will only accumulate more and more.

The first day of June, begging the big shots to cast their base monthly votes, help Sanyue rush a wave, thank you all for your support.

(There's more during the day)

(End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 543 =====

Out of curiosity, he broke the precedent and opened a love letter that wasn't from his own woman.

Uh, he didn't know the content yet, so let's just call it a love letter for now.

Inside were two pages of colored stationery and a photo.

He glanced roughly at the photo; honestly, it was quite stylish and very pleasing to the eye, not shaming the name of Fudan's Little King. It was indeed a bit better than Huang Ziyue, Wu Siyao, and others.

He quickly browsed the content of the letter, and after reading it, he frowned.

Ye Zhanyan clearly stated in the letter that the letter sent to her cousin was just a test; he definitely wouldn't open it, and her cousin Ye Ning might not necessarily give it to him either.

Therefore, she wrote a second letter.

Li Heng put away the letter and shouted that he had been tricked; Ye Xuejie was just using his curiosity, betting that he would read the second letter.

Ye Zhanyan seemed to have said a lot, but in the end, she was implicitly asking him one question: were there any vacancies for a confidante by his side?

The deeper meaning was that she could follow him without a title.

This actually fit the scene where she tactfully invited him to a hostel at Wujiao Square last time. In fact, ever since Zhao Menglong encouraged her to try it last time, Ye Zhanyan felt she had fallen into a spell; the thought of being Li Heng's lover would pop into her mind from time to time, until later, she summoned the courage to write this letter.

And after the letter was sent, Ye Zhanyan felt she was temporarily liberated, getting rid of the entanglement of a certain obsession, and could study with peace of mind for a long time and do what she wanted to do.

As for whether the junior would respond? Reason told her not to have too much hope.

And that was the case; Li Heng didn't intend to reply.

But having said that, apart from his own women, Ye Xuejie was the most beautiful of all the women who pursued him.

Huang Ziyue, Wu Siyao, Dai Qing, and Li Xian were all inferior to her.

Those girls in junior high and high school, like Chen Lijun, also had a gap.

In terms of beauty, the one closest to Fudan's Little King's level was perhaps Wu Siyao from Tongji University. Next was Huang Ziyue.

Crossing the road, Li Heng walked to Wujiaochang in one breath, then searched around the entrance of the Blue Sky Hotel and nearby, but there was no sign of his scheming wife.

It seemed they hadn't arrived yet.

Thinking about it, it was only past 10 o'clock, and there was still some time before the agreed 11 o'clock.

Waiting is the most agonizing; bored, he suddenly thought of Huang Zhaoyi's new residence not far from here. Ever since he went to Aba, he had almost lost contact with her. He wondered how the Great Qingyi was doing now? Where was she?

He had the heart to make a call, but met Wei Xiaozhu and Dai Qing halfway.

The six eyes met, and Li Heng reacted and asked: "Are you two here to help Old Zhang today?"

Wei Xiaozhu smiled and said: "Yes, what a coincidence, you are here too."

Dai Qing looked at his back and asked: "Did you come alone? Is Mai Sui not here?"

Li Heng nodded: "I'm waiting for Xiao Han here."

Hearing this, Wei Xiaozhu and Dai Qing looked at each other. The next second, both smiled and walked past him toward the braised food stall, looking very much like they didn't want to affect his date.

Li Heng was speechless, turned around, and followed them to the braised food stall.

"Hey, why is there no one today? Is business not good lately?" he asked Bai Wanying and Zhang Bing.

Bai Wanying said: "We just set up the stall. Usually, there's no one at this time; business won't come until noon, and business is best in the evening and at night."

Li Heng asked: "Then why do you come so early?"

"Bored, and selling a little is still money." Bai Wanying was calculating.

Zhang Bing was fiddling with the roasted sweet potato equipment nearby, and with a dirty face, he asked Li Heng: "Old Li, the weather is getting cold, do you want a sweet potato?"

Li Heng waved his hand: "No need, I'm a rural kid and have no interest in that stuff; even if you stuffed it in my mouth, I'd have to spit it out."

Zhang Bing had the same feeling, but since he was selling sweet potatoes, he wouldn't say it out loud.

Li Guang came over happily, holding a bag of beef jerky. He ran into the stall, tore open the package, and distributed the jerky to everyone: "This was mailed by my mother from my hometown. Come, come, come! Try it, pure grassland flavor."

Li Heng took it, tasted it, and felt the taste was indeed not bad, so he immediately asked: "Is this for sale?"

Li Guang slapped his chest hard: "Sell my ass, damn it! Brother Heng, if you like it, it's just a matter of a word. I'll get you a few bags later."

Knowing this kid's family was wealthy, Li Heng didn't pretend: "Okay."

After a chat, in less than a minute, Li Guang promised 12 bags of beef jerky, and everyone present had a share.

While eating the beef jerky, Li Guang suddenly asked Bai Wanying: "Wanying, you said your body can still be treated, right?"

Bai Wanying was enjoying the beef jerky and didn't think much, replying casually: "The earlier it's treated, the higher the probability, but it costs a lot of money."

After the words fell, Bai Wanying realized something, looked up at Li Guang, and asked jokingly: "You didn't mention this to your family, did you?"

Li Guang nodded hard: "Yes, I hesitated for a long time, but finally told my parents about you a while ago, and today I received their reply. Look, the letter is here, look."

Saying that, Li Guang hurriedly took the letter out of his pocket and unfolded it happily for Bai Wanying to see.

Bai Wanying finished reading the letter and then fell silent.

Afterward, the letter fell into the hands of several people. Li Heng, Wei Xiaozhu, and Dai Qing all leaned over to read it quickly, and then fell silent as well.

In the letter, Li Guang's father said: Since you like that girl so much, don't ask for anything in return. Your mother and I believe in Buddhism; just report the amount of surgery fees needed to the family.

Obviously, Li Guang was afraid his family wouldn't agree before, so he tactfully said he wanted to marry Bai Wanying. But his parents felt that the act of asking for something in return for a favor was inappropriate, and they would help generously within their capabilities without conditions.

Zhang Bing lost his voice after reading the letter, his right fingernail invisibly embedded into the sweet potato meat.

Then he noticed the gazes of Li Heng and Wei Xiaozhu. Zhang Bing smiled awkwardly, hurriedly put the sweet potato aside, returned the letter to Bai Wanying, and ran away to the grocery store to buy a few bottles of soda.

Li Heng and Wei Xiaozhu looked at each other. The latter said: "Li Heng, when will Xiao Han arrive? Do you have time? Accompany me to the department store."

"Should be soon." Saying that, Li Heng walked away with Wei Xiaozhu.

Dai Qing was very observant and followed, leaving space for Li Guang and Bai Wanying, the two parties involved.

Walking about 30 meters away, Wei Xiaozhu asked in a low voice: "Did you notice?"

This was out of the blue, but Li Heng understood: "I saw it."

Wei Xiaozhu sighed: "Sure enough, Zhang Bing has different feelings for Bai Wanying."

Dai Qing took over: "This is expected, but they are destined to have no results. Because Zhang Bing is a very traditional person who values family and kinship very much, he will not abandon his wife and children in his hometown for Bai Wanying."

Li Heng said: "Qingqing's thoughts are the same as mine."

Wei Xiaozhu teased: "Qingqing?"

Dai Qing's face heated up, and she subconsciously pushed her best friend.

Li Heng spread his hands: "Isn't that following your way of addressing her? I thought you wouldn't make such jokes."

"This is a step toward your friendship getting better. As a witness, I naturally have to add some seasoning to deepen the memory," Wei Xiaozhu said with a smile.

The three did not go to the department store, but stopped at a corner.

Dai Qing asked the two: "Do you think Bai Wanying will agree?"

Wei Xiaozhu pondered: "Not necessarily. After all, no one's money comes from a strong wind. If she really accepts the aid from Li Guang's family, then marrying Li Guang might be the most perfect ending."

Dai Qing said: "Li Guang is too impatient; he shouldn't have taken out the letter in front of us, which makes Bai Wanying a bit embarrassed."

Wei Xiaozhu said: "This is the Li Guang we know, with a smile on his face all day, smiling at everyone, with no scheming, treating life entirely with enthusiasm. Didn't you see that he was jumping and skipping when he came over just now? I guess his mind was full of this happy event on the way, and he didn't consider so much."

Li Heng said: "It's quite good. People like this are easy to live with, and there's no pressure to get along."

Dai Qing echoed: "That's true. If Le Yao had chosen Li Guang instead of following Li Guoyi, I don't know how happy she would be now."

After chatting for a while about the complicated relationship between Bai Wanying and Li Guang, Wei Xiaozhu asked him: "You were with Xiao Han yesterday, why are you waiting for her here again today? Didn't she come with you last night?"

Li Heng was just about to speak when he saw Xiao Han, Wei Shiman, and Xiao Qing appearing near the Blue Sky Hotel not far away, and immediately said: "I'll go first, let's talk later."

After speaking, he strode over.

The two girls also saw the three of them. Dai Qing asked: "Is that Xiao Han's mother?"

Wei Xiaozhu replied: "Should be, they look a bit alike."

After watching for a while, Dai Qing said abruptly: "Has it developed to the point of meeting the parents? Then what about Mai Sui?"

This was also the question Wei Xiaozhu was thinking about just now.

Of course, Dai Qing was talking about Mai Sui on the surface, but inside she was expressing an inexplicable emotion: Li Heng was locked down by Xiao Han so quickly, what about those who like Li Heng? Did they lose their chance from now on?

Her words were meant to probe Xiaozhu, and it was also like saying to her best friend: If you really have a secret crush on Li Heng as Hu Ping said, you should take action, otherwise there will be less and less chance in the future.

Dai Qing was just using ambiguous tactics, because even now she couldn't confirm whether her best friend really liked Li Heng.

And she couldn't ask clearly, after all, she had a secret crush on Li Heng herself.

If the fact that two sisters liked the same person was put on the table, it would be quite embarrassing and would indirectly affect the time spent together in university.

Therefore, some things can be known in the heart, but the window paper cannot be pierced, so that everyone has room and a way out.

After speaking, Dai Qing quietly paid attention to her sister's expression. Unfortunately, Wei Xiaozhu had no reaction, making her fall into self-denial again; maybe it was really her overthinking, maybe Hu Ping was really looking for an excuse to withdraw and preserve his dignity.

Dai Qing thought to herself: Xiaozhu might have never been moved by Li Heng.

Thinking about it, although Li Heng is very excellent, excellent enough to surpass his peers by a large margin, it does not mean that he will attract all girls.

Just like in Dorm 107, Cai Yuanyuan and Zhao Meng were Hu Ping's secret admirers; Wei Sisi only had a soft spot for Tang Dailing; Sun Xiaoye seemed quite interested in Zhou Zhangming; Le Yao's first love was given to Li Guoyi.

Over the past year or so, Dai Qing discovered a phenomenon: the more they felt their conditions were good, the more they would be attracted to Li Heng. On the contrary, those whose conditions were not so outstanding only maintained appreciation and reverence for Li Heng, with no romantic intentions.

Just like herself, she was a bit carried away by those boys and love letters in middle school, feeling very good about herself, which led to her setting her sights on Li Heng as soon as she entered university. The result was a crushing defeat, and she was left bruised and battered.

But this does not mean that she is not excellent, nor does it mean that she is not beautiful. Apart from hitting a wall with Li Heng, Dai Qing has received as many as 47 love letters in the past year and a half.

Those love letters included those from boys in her class, those in her major, those in other majors, those in the student union, and boys from nearby universities who also expressed their admiration for her…

After watching Li Heng and the three of them from afar for a while, Wei Xiaozhu said: "Qingqing, let's go, we've been away for a while, the matter between Bai Wanying and Li Guang should be handled."

Dai Qing looked back at Li Heng twice and turned to follow.

Seeing that her emotions were fluctuating, Wei Xiaozhu teased: "Heartache?"

The two sisters had a good relationship and talked about everything. Dai Qing didn't hide it: "A little bit."

Then she stared at the ground and added: "Although I knew long ago that there was no possibility with Li Heng, I still longed for him not to be completely tied down by any girl during university, so that when I graduated and left Fudan, my heart would still be alive."

Wei Xiaozhu reached out and took her best friend's arm, "So you have always been optimistic about the addition of Mai Sui by his side?"

"Yes. To tell you the truth, I even had bad thoughts, hoping Li Heng was a playboy, so that no one could have him completely." Dai Qing's heart was always pressed by a sense of depression, as if she felt much better after saying these words.

Wei Xiaozhu asked in confusion: "Why? Loving him, isn't it hoping he lives better?"

Dai Qing replied: "I am a realistic person, this way I will be relieved."

Wei Xiaozhu smiled: "Then he is a playboy now. One Xiao Han, one Mai Sui, both are incredibly beautiful, you should be satisfied."

When saying this, Wei Xiaozhu suddenly thought of Zhou Shihe. She wanted to ask Li Heng yesterday, but Li Heng's vigilance was very strong and he didn't pick up the conversation at all.

Dai Qing shook her head: "Mai Sui doesn't compete at all, it's boring. If only someone could appear to compete with Xiao Han."

Wei Xiaozhu was speechless: "You are afraid the world won't be in chaos."

Dai Qing nodded: "Sometimes I also feel that my thoughts are impure, and I have even thought about…"

After waiting for a while without hearing the rest, Wei Xiaozhu tilted her head and asked: "Even thought about what?"

Dai Qing took a deep breath and said: "Get him drunk, and then sleep peacefully with him in the same bed. Don't look at me with those eyes, I don't want to have a relationship with him, I just want to possess him for a short time at close range, to prove that my four years at Fudan University were not in vain. Then I will hide far away and never see him again in this life."

Wei Xiaozhu originally wanted to tease her sister a few more times, but after hearing this, she fell silent.

Wei Xiaozhu felt: Maybe Qingqing is not such a proper person, but isn't this a kind of silent love, love that is deep.

….

On the other side.

Although Mai Sui had already told him that Wei Shiman would come over today, Li Heng's inner excitement was beyond words when he actually saw them.

What does this represent?

Even a fool would understand!

He really never expected that his scheming wife would give him such a big surprise.

When he retreated in defeat from Shanghai Medical University yesterday, he had seriously thought about a protracted war and formulated a series of breakthrough plans based on the mother-in-law's personality.

Unexpectedly, wow! He woke up to a bright morning!

He was so happy!

So happy that as soon as he ran over, he habitually shouted: "Mom, you guys are here."

It was still "Mom", but the "Mom" of yesterday and the "Mom" of today were completely different. Wei Shiman tried hard to squeeze out a smile, nodded at him, and took the initiative to ask him to appease her daughter's anxiety: "Did it delay your new book creation?"

Li Heng showed his neat, white teeth and smiled very brightly: "It doesn't delay it. The new book hasn't started yet, it will be a few days."

Seeing that honey and her mother were talking, gradually dissolving the ice wall of yesterday, Xiao Han's heart felt like she had drunk honey, densely sweet.

She held Li Heng's arm with her left hand and her mother with her right, standing in the middle with curved eyebrows and eyes, saying: "Mr. Li, Mom and Eldest Sister haven't officially had breakfast yet, why don't you treat us to a brunch."

Li Heng was stunned, "Eldest Sister, you guys haven't had breakfast?"

Xiao Qing smiled and said: "Yesterday's dinner was eaten after 9 o'clock, and it was past 10 o'clock after eating. I wasn't very hungry when I got up this morning, so I bought a cup of soy milk."

Hearing this, Li Heng immediately took the three of them toward the Blue Sky Hotel.

No wonder his scheming wife chose this meeting place; she wanted him to perform, so as to further ease the relationship with his mother-in-law.

The Blue Sky Hotel specializes in Huaiyang cuisine and local Shanghai cuisine. Since Wei Shiman and the others had no experience and didn't know how to order, Li Heng simply waved his hand and asked the shop to serve a table of the best dishes, filling the table.

At first, the waiter hesitated a bit; their hotel's signature dishes were expensive, and Li Heng was so young, was he reliable! There was someone who ate a free meal yesterday.

It wasn't until a waiter nearby came over and whispered a few words that the previous waiter's attitude changed instantly. She stared at Li Heng with bright eyes for a while and said: "Okay, Mr. Li, please wait a moment, the dishes will be here soon."

Just at this moment, the hotel manager heard the news and rushed over, saying very politely to Li Heng: "Mr. Li, three ladies, there is a private room on the second floor, do you need to change places?"

Damn, it seems the other party recognized him. When he asked just now, the waiter said the private room was gone, all booked, didn't expect there to be empty ones now?

Of course it's good to change positions. After all, it's the first time in this life to officially treat his mother-in-law to a meal as a son-in-law, the more courtesy, the better.

Once the position was changed and they sat in the private room, hmm! Not to mention anything else, this manager is quite capable, very face-saving.

Xiao Qing, who was walking at the end, quietly said to her little sister: "Not bad, your husband is very face-saving."

Being praised by her sister, Xiao Han's vanity was greatly satisfied: That's right, that's right. Don't look at who the husband this beauty found is, Mom, dear Mom! Now you know what vision is…

Knowing that Li Heng's social status was not low, but she didn't expect him to be so glorious when walking outside. Wei Shiman had also seen the world and knew that the Blue Sky Hotel's grade was not low. It seems she still underestimated Li Heng's recognition by society.

Wei Shiman swept a glance at Li Heng's profile without a trace, thinking that it was necessary to re-evaluate Li Heng.

Or rather, she had always been a bystander before. Now that she had accidentally changed positions and became the object of being watched, her mentality had to change, and she had to have a comprehensive understanding of Li Heng from beginning to end.

After ordering the dishes and waiting for the manager to close the door and leave, Wei Shiman thought for a moment and asked him: "Before eating, can I ask you one thing?"

Li Heng immediately stopped chatting with Xiao Han and Xiao Qing, straightened his body and said: "Please speak."

Wei Shiman asked: "Are you serious about Hanhan?"

Li Heng reached out and grabbed Xiao Han's palm, promising: "Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of her in this life."

After wandering between the faces of her little daughter and Li Heng for about half a minute, Wei Shiman spoke again: "Before last night, I didn't really agree with you two being together.

It's not that I don't look down on you; on the contrary, your excellence is worthy of any woman in this world. To a certain extent, our Xiao family having a son-in-law like you can be considered climbing high.

Now that we are sitting at the same table, I won't mention the reasons for 'disagreeing' with you, and I won't mention them in the future.

I have one request: try not to let Hanhan, who is dedicated to you, shed tears.

Can you do it?

If you can do it, when you come back during the winter vacation this year, come home and accompany your Uncle Xiao, um, you can also call him father-in-law, and have a good drink. After all, Hanhan was not born by me alone, you have to toast Hanhan's father, and from now on, Hanhan will be handed over to you."

"Okay. I will keep your words in my heart at all times." Li Heng stated solemnly.

This was a kind of entrustment.

It was also a formal recognition of the status of Li Heng and Xiao Han.

Wei Shiman didn't mention Chen Zijin, didn't mention the Chen family, didn't mention the women around him, and didn't even mention marriage.

Because since she handed her little daughter to him, she shouldn't add any more frames. This is good for Hanhan, and Li Heng won't have pressure when facing her and the Xiao family in the future, and can have more opportunities to sit together and communicate feelings.

If she made demands during the first statement today and scared Li Heng, making Li Heng feel uncomfortable, then the ending of her little daughter wouldn't be good.

As a mother, as long as the daughter can live well and is happy herself, some things must be held in the heart even if they are uncomfortable, don't show them.

Because there are eight or nine unsatisfactory things in the world, how can everything be perfect?
