Chapter 1589
Professor Zhuang’s treatment was very effective and the pre-treatment entered its eighth day with the official injection of superovulation hormones.
After finishing up at the hospital and thinking that I hadn’t spent much time with the four seasons, I took Wang Ruoruo with me when I saw her.
I didn’t think I’d see Jon again for at least a long time, yet when I wandered into the mom and pop shop, I ran into him head-on, as well as, the gentle woman following him.
“Long time no see.” I thought Jon would be warm to me as always, but I opened my mouth first, and Jon just stood there, looking at me nonchalantly, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
Four Seasons, who had been playing with the toys Wang Ruoruo had bought for her, followed us and stood for a while before looking up curiously. As soon as she saw Qiao En, she immediately reached out and flung her arms around his legs, “Uncle Qiao, Uncle Qiao!”
Apart from Fu Shen and I, Qiao En was the closest person to Four Seasons, she probably didn’t know how to express her missing emotions, pouting and not saying anything, she just leaned on Qiao En’s shoulder, whimpering in aggression, saying that she wouldn’t come down for anything.
We had no choice but to leave the mom and pop shop for now and find a place to sit down.
Jon was a big man and not very good at coaxing children, so the woman next to him kept doing her best to get close to the Four Seasons set and the three of them were in a very amiable picture, which gave Jon the opportunity to turn and look at us.
I don’t know why, obviously it was once the most familiar person, this time Jon is only back to the warm and affectionate look, but I always feel that he is not quite like the original him gone as if, the first to speak.
“How’s it going?” At first, I didn’t really know what to say first, so I paused and then said, “I heard you went abroad? Did you get everything done?”
“Yeah.” Jon nodded as a tacit acknowledgement, and when he finished, his eyes suddenly fell on Wang Ruoruo beside me.
I then remembered that I hadn’t introduced them, “This is Chen Xing’s wife, Wang Ruo Ruo.”
Wang Ruoruo acted enthusiastically and extended her hand in greeting, “Hello.”
Qiao En looked at her hand and froze for a moment before putting his hand out and shaking it with hers, saying with some uncertainty, “I know you.”
Wang Ruoruo didn’t know about Qiao En and Chen Xing and acted flattered, “Ah, really? Has my sister ever mentioned me to you before?”
I didn’t expect Qiao En to say that and froze for a moment, not daring to answer.
Luckily, Qiao En immediately added another sentence to defuse the awkwardness, “The news of Mr. Chen and Miss Wang’s wedding is all over Weibo, it would be hard not to know.”
He withdrew his hand and added without a word, “Miss Wang and Mr. Chen are a good match, bless you both.”
Chen Xing and Wang Ruoruo’s wedding was also a marriage between the two Chen and Wang families, and the pomp and circumstance was naturally not small, and it was reported live on several platforms, and Xiang Lai Qiao En also saw it that day.
“Thank you!” Wang Ruoruo blushed back to him.
I breathed a sigh of relief and turned the conversation away, looking at the woman beside him and asking, “Who is this?”
Looking at this woman’s attitude towards the four seasons, her demeanor and language didn’t look like the kind of immodest woman, as Chen Xing put it.
Upon hearing this, Jon raised his hand, his long arm going around and naturally wrapping around the woman’s shoulder, introducing him in a slightly worldly manner, “My wife, Lin Baisan.”
Chapter 1590
“Wife?” I was completely taken aback.
Jon had been gone for only a few months and he was already married? It was only the first time I had even, with this person he called his wife. Maybe it was pride, but I just couldn’t accept that the person I had grown up with had married so easily without a hello, and my face wasn’t exactly pretty.
“Surprise, huh?” Jon looked at me, the smile on his face deepened a few more points, but his eyes remained faint, “It’s also true that you don’t know much about me, Bai Shan and I have known each other for almost a year, we got our license two months ago, it’s not exactly a flash marriage.”
He was joking in tone, but my heart sank hard.
I knew that Jon was blaming me.
Just like his comment about us growing apart, a childhood friend, I had struggled with my relationship with Li Rong Shen several times over the years and had forgotten to care for him.
“Jon, you ……” The words came to my lips, but I didn’t know what to say.
Heart weakness easily overcame me, I twisted my head, not daring to look at Jon, but fiercely bumped into Lin Baisan’s eyes full of goodwill again, had to force a smile, as a greeting, then lowered his eyes, did not dare to say a word.
The first thing you need to do is to get to know each other, and now you’re living happily ever after, so it’s okay, as long as you’re happy. ”
The first time I saw her, I was surprised by her honesty, and only after a moment did I regain my composure, “Yes, it’s just a personal choice, there’s nothing more noble than anyone else.”
I couldn’t ask him where he had been all this time in front of Wang Ruoruo and Lin Baisan. What had happened?
I struggled for a while and mustered up my best courage, but I just backed off and said, “Come over for dinner some day, the Four Seasons have been clamouring for your company.”
“We’ll see,” Jon refused outright, “I’ve recently opened a new clinic and all the patients I’ve left behind have come back for follow-ups, so I’m too busy to take time off.”
After all, he didn’t want to be close to me anymore.
Every now and then I think that maybe Jon is not just blaming me for not caring enough about him, but also for Muzi’s death.
But Muzi was gone, and all I had left was Jon, the one person who had been with me for so long, and I couldn’t just throw away our old friendship like that.
I was just about to open my mouth and try my best to stay, when Lin Baisan, who had been listening quietly from the side, suddenly interjected, “Don’t worry, I will remember to remind him when the time comes.”
Her voice was gentle, with the warmth of a Jiangnan beauty, and her thoughtfulness made her whole person seem to shine, as if the two of them were meant to be a natural pair, and Qiao En didn’t insist any more, so the matter was settled.
All my inexplicable pride and uninformed calculations were suddenly offloaded.
What mattered was his sidekick, this girl called Lin Baisan, whose bird-like personality held Jon’s temper with ease, and at least kept him from saying things too harshly at the moment and getting into a complete standoff with me.
