Chapter 49: He Has Remained Unmarried Until Now For Your Sake

The seats they bought were in a good location, right in the middle of the cinema.

Not long after they sat down, the movie started.

Because they had only bought one portion of popcorn, Si Rong thought for a moment before eating, then hesitated and asked Jiang Cheng, "Do you want some popcorn?"

The two were very close to each other.

Jiang Cheng's body was held very straight, but the faint, clean fragrance radiating from Si Rong still made his palms sweat.

He didn't even hear clearly what Si Rong had said to him, and just gave a hum.

Si Rong thought about it and handed the popcorn to Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng took it, but did not put it into his mouth.

If he ate it, it would be gone.

This piece of popcorn had been handed to him by Si Rong herself.

It had to be saved.

After the movie finished, Jiang Cheng drove Si Rong to the entrance of the dance studio after leaving the cinema.

Although he didn't want to part, he had to go to the military unit later.

"Do you want to learn how to drive?"

After the car came to a steady stop, Jiang Cheng asked Si Rong.

On the way back, he noticed that Si Rong's gaze had frequently fallen on his hands.

He guessed that Si Rong must be interested in driving.

It couldn't just be that she wanted to look at his hands.

Si Rong felt that Jiang Cheng's hands were indeed very good-looking.

The five fingers were slender, and the nails were trimmed neatly and beautifully.

But how did he know she wanted to learn to drive?

"I do," Si Rong answered.

"Then later I'll teach you, and then you can go to the driving school to take the test for your license."

Si Rong had previously mentioned the idea of wanting to learn to drive to Shen Lan, but it had been rejected by Shen Lan.

"You must be very busy, right?"

Si Rong felt that a Division Commander who had to manage a division must be very busy.

"Not busy."

Jiang Cheng immediately indicated that time is always squeezed out; as long as one wants to, one has it.

"What about you? When are you usually free?" Jiang Cheng took the opportunity to ask what he wanted to know.

"I'm free during the day; my classes are usually after five o'clock." Si Rong had heard that driving school instructors liked to scold people, so learning in advance would be good.

But she herself had not yet realized that deep down, she did not reject Jiang Cheng.

Ming Zi, her eldest brother, and her second brother all had cars, so if she wanted to learn, she could completely learn from them.

Yet when Jiang Cheng brought up teaching her, she had agreed.

Perhaps this was the power of good looks; in front of good-looking people, it is always easier to compromise.

Thus, the two agreed to practice driving tomorrow on a small road in the suburbs of Huaiyang.

As soon as Si Rong returned to the dance studio, she was interrogated by Ming Zi.

"Confess honestly! When did you get together with Jiang Cheng?"

That was fast!

She had thought her good friend would be dejected and heartbroken for quite a while after divorcing Shen Lan!

Si Rong told Ming Zi about her bizarre blind date from yesterday, and Ming Zi sighed repeatedly as she listened.

"The two of you remind me of an idiom: rekindling an old flame!"

"Back then, your fate was blocked by that bitch Li Xuan; after eighteen years, through all the twists and turns, you are still with each other. I think Jiang Cheng looks like your true match!"

Ming Zi was quite happy.

The best way to forget a relationship is to start a new one.

"He didn't go through twists and turns," Si Rong sat down and took a sip of osmanthus tea, "He has never been married; Jiang Zhi is his sister's daughter."

Ming Zi's mouth was instantly so surprised it could fit a large goose egg.

It was the same first reaction as Mother Si, "Then could it be that he has some kind of problem?"

"My mom said the same thing."

Si Rong couldn't help but laugh.

"Then it's likely he really has a problem; maybe he's impotent," Ming Zi clicked her tongue, "What a pity."

The tea in Si Rong's mouth almost came out, "Alright, stop talking nonsense."

"Otherwise, it's that he has remained unmarried until now for your sake!" Ming Zi's eyes suddenly lit up, "I like this reason."

Si Rong couldn't help but roll her eyes at her, "What kind of fairy do you think I am? Stop gilding my face, it's absolutely impossible!"

Where in the world would there be a man so stubborn!

There are no women like that either.

To like someone and wait foolishly for twenty years?

That is a plot point that only exists in novels.

Afterwards, Ming Zi shifted the topic elsewhere, "By the way, Li Xuan came looking for you today; she was expelled by the school, hee hee!"

Si Rong was also very happy to hear this, "It was expected; to expel a teacher to preserve the school's reputation, of course Huaiyi would do that."

"Haha! That's called throwing away the watermelon to pick up the sesame seeds!"

Ming Zi felt extremely gratified when she remembered how she had beaten her until her nose was bruised and her face was swollen.

"Does she think she can live a good life just by hooking up with Shen Lan? It would be even better if Shen Lan got fired too!"

"I'm just waiting to see the end of these two adulterers!"

After she finished speaking, she looked at Si Rong's expression, "Tsk tsk! Fresh love is truly nourishing! Look, your complexion is so good! I'm so envious I want to get a divorce."

Si Rong shot her a playful glare, took a mirror out of her bag, and examined herself in the reflection.

Her complexion was rosy and glowing.

"Is Luo Sheng messing around outside again?" She felt aggrieved for her friend and couldn't help but sigh, "You're different from me; I don't have children. Although I did treat those two children as my own before, there was still a barrier after all, but you have three children."

Two sons and one daughter.

Even if she got a divorce, it would be unlikely for her to completely sever ties with Luo Sheng.

"Sigh, he found another one outside. This time, I heard he even got her pregnant, that shameless idiot."

Ming Zi felt very tired.

As a woman herself, her feelings toward those mistresses had gone from hatred at the beginning to numbness now.

Watching those young girls, as delicate as flowers, throwing themselves at him one after another, she was exhausted now.

She didn't know if something was wrong with her brain, but she had actually started to feel sorry for them.

Aren't they pitiful?

For the sake of a little money, they let that cheap and disgusting man, Luo Sheng, take full advantage of them.

"Then have you decided what you're going to do?"

Si Rong silently placed her hand on her shoulder, "I'm always here whenever you need help."

"I have to go meet her."

"Luo Sheng, that shameless man, can go out and mess around as much as he wants, but the Luo Family's assets can only belong to my sons; otherwise, I wouldn't know what the point of staying in the Luo Family all these years was."

"I'll go with you."

Having experienced Shen Lan's betrayal this time, she felt that when a person is in extreme pain, if someone is by their side, the pain seems to lighten a little.

She was grateful that Ming Zi chose to believe in her unconditionally and accompany her during her most difficult time.

"No need, meeting that kind of person will dirty your eyes."

Ming Zi knew what these young girls were planning, thinking they could climb the social ladder by relying on the child in their belly.

In order to sit in the position of Mrs. Luo, they would say anything and do anything.

"I'll accompany you; I'm not afraid of getting dirty," Si Rong insisted.

The location was set by that young girl.

It was in a small coffee shop.

It was so small that Si Rong and Ming Zi would never have noticed it while shopping, let alone walked inside.

Old-fashioned beaded curtain decorations, checkered tablecloths, and dim, yellowish lighting.

A classic 1980s-style coffee shop.

The young girl sat quietly in the corner, her hands resting on her stomach.

When she saw Si Rong and Ming Zi, she sized them both up for quite a while, her gaze filled with provocation, "Which one of you two is Mrs. Luo?"
