Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

"I think you're all right, though I don't approve of you divorcing Mei Qi, and I even less approve of you two aborting the child, but I respect your personal choice. I think Manager Wang, your character is still pretty good."

Yao Xueqin answered thus.

"Then how do I compare to your ex-husband?"

Wang Erhai asked again.

Ordinary people facing this kind of question would definitely subconsciously belittle their ex-husband, even belittle their ex-husband as completely worthless.

But Yao Xueqin did not do this.

Her answer made Wang Erhai look at her with new eyes:

"Him, better not to mention it. We're already divorced, so don't go speaking ill of others. That's immoral."

Wang Erhai laughed out loud, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Yao Xueqin had already gone from friendly to admiring.

"If Liu Meiqi were asked by someone about me, this ex-husband of hers, she'd probably gnash her teeth and describe me as the worst, most scummy man under heaven. Miss Yao, you and Liu Meiqi are not the same kind of people at all. It's really hard to imagine that you two could actually become best friends."

Yao Xueqin said:

"There are two kinds of people in this world who can become friends. One is those with similar personalities—this is called birds of a feather flock together. The other is those with very different personalities—this is called complementary personalities. I and Mei Qi belong to the latter. To be honest with you, you mustn't get angry. Mei Qi has indeed said plenty of bad things about you in my ear. Before I met you, I thought you were a big bad guy. After getting along for a long time, I discovered you're actually a pretty good person. As for Mei Qi, she actually doesn't have any bad intentions; she's just too competitive and has to calculate wins and losses over everything."

Wang Erhai nodded repeatedly, agreeing with Yao Xueqin's statement more than anything.

"Exactly, exactly. Liu Meiqi's competitive personality drove herself crazy, and almost drove me crazy too! Fortunately, we're finally about to be free... Let's not mention her, lest you think I'm a scumbag who badmouths his ex-wife behind her back."

Yao Xueqin said with a smile:

"How could I? I don't think that way. But, you and Mei Qi aren't divorced yet, so now she's not your ex-wife."

Wang Erhai said decisively:

"It's only a matter of time! As soon as the cooling-off period is over, I'll go and divorce her. Even if the Heavenly King and Old Father came, they couldn't change my resolve!"

After the two finished this barbecue meal, Wang Erhai took the initiative to pay the bill, but Yao Xueqin firmly grabbed him:

"Manager Wang, we agreed I'd treat. How could I let you spend money?"

Wang Erhai said with a smile:

"It's fine, I'll pay. Anyway, it won't cost much."

Yao Xueqin said instead:

"It's not a question of money or not. I have to keep my word. I said I'd treat, so I have to treat. Manager Wang, if you feel bad about it, you can treat me next time."

Wang Erhai was stunned, then broke into a brilliant smile:

"All right, then I'll treat you next time!"

He hadn't shown such a brilliant smile in a very long time.

This meal was the happiest meal he'd eaten since getting married.

Yao Xueqin was very clever. She understood what "a trickle that lasts long" meant, and what "reciprocity" meant.

This time she treated, next time Wang Erhai would treat, and the time after that it would be her turn to treat again.

Through this treating each other to meals, she could slowly cultivate her emotional relationship with Wang Erhai.

From friendship to love was not impossible.

Wang Erhai actually also wanted to deepen his feelings with Yao Xueqin in his heart.

He felt Yao Xueqin was simply too good. Apart from having been divorced once, Yao Xueqin had no other flaws. Everything he saw in her was a shining point.

After experiencing all sorts of wind and rain, Wang Erhai no longer cared about his partner's past history. What he cared more about was whether they could provide emotional value.

Because none of his ex-girlfriends and ex-wives could provide him with emotional value.

One can only say: the more a person lacks something, the more they want it.

And the more they want something, the more likely they are to be deceived by something.

People who lack money want to get rich overnight, so they're easily deceived by pyramid scheme scams and the like that claim to make you rich overnight.

People who lack love want to be loved by someone, so they're easily deceived by romance scams that focus on feelings.

Wang Erhai meeting Yao Xueqin now was no different from encountering a romance scam.

The only difference was that those romance scams generally operated online, casting a wide net, specifically targeting extremely love-starved older single women. But now Yao Xueqin was setting a trap for him—that was targeted blasting at him, and all the strategies were tailor-made for him.

The two came out of the barbecue restaurant, and Wang Erhai even took the initiative to send Yao Xueqin back.

But just as they were about to get in the car, a passenger-carrying three-wheeler drove over from the distance.

On the three-wheeler, a familiar figure got down!

It was none other than Liu Meiqi!

Liu Meiqi had gone to the hospital alone for a re-examination this morning. By the time the re-examination was over, it was already noon.

She was preparing to go to a Cantonese restaurant nearby for lunch, because after just having surgery she couldn't eat anything too heavy in flavor.

Who would have thought that just as she took the three-wheeler over here, got off the vehicle, she saw Wang Erhai and Yao Xueqin talking and laughing, about to get in the car together!

This made her so angry she exploded on the spot.

"Wang Erhai, Yao Xueqin, what are you doing!"

Liu Meiqi, without allowing any explanation, strode over angrily to question them.

Yao Xueqin panicked all at once.

She knew Liu Meiqi had to go to the hospital for a re-examination today, so she deliberately chose a barbecue restaurant far from the hospital for their meal. Who would have thought she'd still run into Liu Meiqi here.

One can only say that Murphy's Law is sometimes really accurate: the more you're afraid of something, the more likely it is to happen.

"Mei Qi, listen to my explanation!"

Yao Xueqin hurriedly wanted to explain.

However, before she could speak.

"Slap!"

Liu Meiqi swung a slap right over.

Heavily striking Yao Xueqin's face.

Yao Xueqin felt her face burning hot, her head buzzing, her mind a total blank.

She had already lost all ability to defend herself.

Only clutching her scorching face, she stood dazedly in place.

Because her own actions were indeed exactly as Liu Meiqi thought in her heart.

She herself also felt somewhat guilty.

However Wang Erhai couldn't see through any of this.

He saw Liu Meiqi come up and without a word slap Yao Xueqin, immediately got very angry, hurriedly pushed Liu Meiqi away, and shielded Yao Xueqin with his arm.

"Liu Meiqi, are you crazy? Xueqin is your best friend!"

Liu Meiqi ignored Wang Erhai, just staring straight at Yao Xueqin, questioning:

"Didn't you say you were busy with work? How come you have time to accompany Wang Erhai to eat?"

Yao Xueqin couldn't say a word.

Liu Meiqi questioned again:

"I finally understand now, you're truly vicious, to snatch my man you actually instigated me to abort the child!"

Only now did Yao Xueqin come back to her senses, she put on an innocent face, hurriedly explaining:

"Mei Qi, it's really not what you think, listen to my explanation."

Liu Meiqi was so angry her face turned pale:

"You stinking bitch, you still dare to quibble!"

Saying that, she raised her hand, about to slap Yao Xueqin again.

However, this time, Wang Erhai grabbed her wrist with one hand, preventing that slap from landing.

"Had enough trouble yet!"

Wang Erhai shouted angrily, then still expressionlessly said:

"I actively pursued Xueqin, if you have any issue come at me, don't harm her!"

Wang Erhai knew, now he and Yao Xueqin, no matter what they explained, Liu Meiqi wouldn't believe.

Because Liu Meiqi has always only been willing to believe what she's willing to believe.

So he simply took all the responsibility onto himself.

After all he couldn't possibly watch helplessly as Yao Xueqin was harmed by Liu Meiqi because of him.
