Marriage Crisis: Lonely Apricot Blossom

Chapter 6 I'm here for you (2)
In order to break the awkward silence, Mike spoke first, "This store existed before I went abroad. I didn't expect it to still be there after all these years. I'm really surprised and happy."

Yan Jia looked at the surrounding environment, pursed her lips and smiled, "So you fell in love early, and the people who come to this kind of place are obviously young couples!" As soon as the words came out, she felt inappropriate, and her face blushed quietly.

Mike didn't take it seriously, "Ten years ago, there was such a good style. It was just a simple small cafeteria. I have always been curious about the owner of this restaurant, who can come up with such a provocative name."

The dishes came one after another, steamed white fish, bacon rolls with jade belt, tofu with crab powder, and a plate of crystal mango pudding.

The dishes here are Suzhou-Hangzhou flavor, fragrant, sweet and glutinous, which is very suitable for Yan Jia's appetite, especially the pudding, which is fragrant and delicious.

The two chatted one after another, endlessly.

"By the way, what is your biggest dream?" Mike asked suddenly.

"Me?" Yan Jia was stunned for a moment, she had never thought about this question clearly, Fang Zhenqian always said that she was like a blind little bee, there were too many things she wanted to do, but they were all 3 minutes hot.

She tilted her head and thought for a while, "My biggest dream is to fully understand what I want most." After finishing speaking, she stared at Mike warily, thinking that he would laugh like Fang Zhenqian.

However, Mike didn't laugh. He thought for a while and nodded: "What you said makes sense. There are really not many people who can understand their true inner needs. Many people are busy, but their hearts are actually infinitely empty."

Yan Jia didn't expect to meet her bosom friend, she smiled at him with a full smile, and that bright color made Mike's heart beat.

"What about you? What is your biggest dream?" Yan Jia asked back.

"Me?" Mike came back to his senses. "My dream was to be a backpacker traveling around the world. Now that this dream has come true, I plan to move on to my next dream—to start a family."

"Ah, that's great! Then you must have been to many countries?" Yan Jia, who rarely had the opportunity to go out, was envious.

"Yes!" Mike pinched his fingers and counted, "America, Japan, Canada, Singapore, Brazil, England, Germany, France, and Turkey."

Yan Jia drooled, "You can really swim!"

"Actually, once I go out, I don't think it's so great. Everything is difficult at the beginning. There are so many places to go, it's no different from going to another place. You have to take a plane, train, or walk."

Yan Jia stared at him brightly, "You have been to so many places, where do you like the most?"

Mike squinted his eyes and thought for a while, "Canada, it's pretty good."

Yan Jia was a little surprised, "I thought you could say France, I always think Paris is the most romantic city."

"Paris is beautiful, but many countries in Europe are too indifferent. If you are in it, you may not be able to integrate. It is no more inclusive than Canada, a country of immigrants."

Mike said, bowed his head and took out his mobile phone, and asked Yan Jia directly: "What is your email address, I will send you an email when I am free."

Yan Jia hesitated for a while, and reported him anyway, and then added, "My boss is very strict, please don't send me spam!"

Mike winked and said, "How can I, I can send you travel photos, right?"

"That's great!" Yan Jia smiled openly.

After eating almost everything, Mike asked again, "Do you want to have something more?"

Yan Jia smiled playfully, "You pay the bill, you decide, oh, I just want another mango pudding."

She got up and went to the bathroom to release.

When washing her hands in front of the mirror, she paid special attention to her flushed face, as if she was in a dream. She never thought that she would eat in such a cozy place with a man she had only met twice.If Fang Zhenqian knows this, will he turn pale with anger?
Yan Jia imagined Fang Zhenqian's stern face, and suddenly felt a little guilty. Although she and Mike will not do well, she doesn't want her husband to misunderstand, and he is still working overtime, but she...

Yan Jia thought it was better to go back early.

After walking out of the bathroom, Yan Jia glanced around, but couldn't remember where her seat was for a while, because her sense of orientation had always been poor.

While frowning and thinking, a somewhat familiar face came into view on the left. She was stunned for two seconds, and suddenly realized that it was Xiao Yan's sister Hua Mei. Such a beautiful woman, once seen, she would never forget.At this moment, she was smiling with phoenix eyes, chatting affectionately with someone sitting across from her, with that appearance and style, she was not so much chatting as she was acting like a baby.

Yan Jia was curious for a while. She had heard Xiao Yan say that her sister was still single, and she didn't expect to have someone she liked so soon. Thinking about it, she was a beautiful woman. As long as she was willing, what kind of man would not obediently bow his head and obey his ears.

As soon as her curiosity arose, Yan Jia felt excited. This was a good opportunity for her. She could report the most exciting news to Xiao Yan when she went to work on Monday—she always said that her sister was old-fashioned, but Hua Mei just didn’t want to Just let my sister know.

A sly smile floated on her face, Yan Jia already had an idea, she planned to take a good look at what the man who could catch Hua Mei's eyes looked like.

She secretly moved a little to the left, and then a little more. Then, the man Hua Mei was dating finally appeared in her field of vision. He was indeed a handsome man. Although he lowered his head slightly, his handsome facial features were still clear at a glance. Taste, she suddenly froze, as if frozen.

Mike waited for a while before seeing Yan Jia coming from the bathroom, but she didn't look at her, but walked straight to another table.

"Why are you here?" He heard Yan Jia's voice trembling almost out of control, sharp and urgent.

Mike didn't know what happened, so he hurried over to coordinate.

Sitting at the other table was Fang Zhenqian and a pretty woman, who he had met in the company, the female editor-in-chief of Wen Xing.

"Didn't you say you were working overtime?" Yan Jia said aggressively, only Fang Zhenqian was in his eyes.

Hua Mei cleared her throat and explained unhurriedly, "Yan Jia, I think you misunderstood. Your husband and I are just talking about some work matters."

Yan Jia didn't pay attention at all, her eyes were fixed on Fang Zhenqian, she could see clearly that Hua Mei's ambiguous eyes just now were by no means as simple as talking about work.

Fang Zhenqian's face was extremely ugly. He grabbed Yan Jia's arm and wanted her to sit down first. Their inflexibility had already attracted many curious eyes, but Yan Jia stood upright stubbornly, just not moving.

Hua Mei knew that it would be more difficult for her to stay here, so she packed up her things, greeted Fang Zhengan apologetically, glanced at Yan Jia who was aggressive, and left without saying a word.

Fang Zhenqian also picked up his bag, and was about to pull Yan Jia out of here. When he saw Mike flashing out from behind Yan Jia, a haze suddenly appeared in his eyes, as if he had just woken up. He asked Yan Jia in a deep voice, "How could you?" it's here?"

"I..." Yan Jia looked at Mike with a concerned face, and Fang Zhengan with a gloomy face, and was speechless.

Mike cut in and said, "I brought her here. I happened to meet her walking alone on the street, so we chatted together." When he said "alone", he emphasized a little bit.

With a gloomy face, Fang Zhen glanced at Mike coldly, didn't say much, grabbed Yan Jia and walked out.

Putting Yan Jia into the car, Fang Zhenqian started the car and got out of the alley. The two ignored each other and drove for more than 20 minutes. They finally turned out of the downtown area and came to an open road.

Fang Zhenqian stopped the car, turned around and looked at Yan Jia, who was pouting angrily.

"We have to talk about what happened just now." He took a breath forbearance, his tone gentle.

Yan Jia looked directly at him, and the question in her heart couldn't hold back any longer, "You and Xiao Yan's sister, why are you together? What is the relationship between you?"

"Partnership." Fang Zhenqian looked calm.

"I don't believe it!" Yan Jia yelled at him, "The way she looked at you just now didn't look like you were talking about business!"

"I haven't finished yet," Fang Zhenqian said, "The cooperative relationship is a recent thing. She and I used to be college classmates, and...we also talked about boyfriend and girlfriend."

The latter sentence was obviously lower, but Yan Jia heard it clearly, and was shocked immediately, she never knew about it.Although he had questioned Fang Zhenqian about his love history when joking before, he always laughed it off and avoided answering.I didn't expect him to be so frank today.

Yan Jia bit her lip, furiously, "Then why didn't you say it at first?" She was so stupid that she asked Fang Zhenqian to pick Hua Mei up.

Now I finally understand why Fang Zhenqian refused to come upstairs that night. Anyone who met his first love by chance could not help feeling overwhelmed. Thinking about it this way, Yan Jia felt even more uncomfortable. Fang Zhenqian's abnormality only showed that he still couldn't let it go. .

"I'm afraid you're overthinking."

"You think I'm not worried now?"

Fang Zhenqian smiled wryly, without further excuses, after a while, he said softly, "I'm sorry...it's been a long time, I never thought I'd see her again."

"Why did you break up?" Yan Jia was determined to dig out all the old things in his heart today.

"After graduation, she will go abroad, and I will stay in China. If I can't continue, I will be separated."

"It's that simple?"

Fang Zhenqian glanced at her, "What do you think is going to shake the world?"

Yan Jia thought for a while with a sullen face, and what he said was understandable, but his attitude made her puzzled.

"You," Yan Jia asked tentatively, "are you still thinking about her?"

Fang Zhenqian seemed to be stunned for a moment, but it was only for a moment, and then a smile crept into the corner of his eyes, he turned his head, and gently pinched Yan Jia's chin, "It was a long time ago that I and her, now I only have you in my heart. "

Yan Jia's expression slowed down a little, but she did not give up and said: "But I think she is still interested in you."

"Jia Jia, you're too sensitive. Hua Mei contacted me purely for business. Besides, I'm also married. Do you think someone like her would be interested in a married man?"

Yan Jia pouted and turned her head vigorously, but apart from subjective impressions, she really couldn't find any substantive evidence to accuse Fang Zhenqian.

In fact, she still has confidence in Fang Zhenqian. From the time they fell in love to getting married, there really hasn't been any pornographic news about him that worries her. On the contrary, almost everyone who knows Fang Zhenqian will say that he is an old antique and rigid enough.

Don't ordinary people say that marriage needs trust as its foundation?
Thinking of this, most of the knots in Yan Jia's heart were let go, "Okay, then I'll trust you just once."

Fang Zhen couldn't help laughing, squeezed her chin hard, then his face darkened, "It's time for me to ask you."

"Ah, what?" Yan Jia didn't turn the corner for a moment.

"What's the matter with you and Mike, you know enough to eat together?"

"Oh, you asked this!" Yan Jia giggled happily, "Haha, it turns out that old antiques are also jealous!"

"Don't laugh, speak well."

Yan Jiale couldn't help but poured out the experience of going on a blind date for Xiao Yan before and the encounter with Mike on the road today.

In the past three years, their love life has been uneventful. This is the first time Yan Jia has seen Fang Zhengan's jealousy, and she is not afraid, but full of joy.

"If we really want something, it's still you who lead the thread." She joked without hiding her words.

Fang Zhen gave her a dry look, and said in a muffled voice, "You'd better spend less time with him in the future."

Yan Jia stuck out her tongue at him vigorously, "I don't care, if you dare to rekindle your old relationship with Hua Mei, I'll have an extramarital affair with Mike. This means you will be the first grader and I will be the fifteenth."

"You..." Fang Zhen snorted dryly, started the car, and galloped forward.

Yan Jia immediately screamed strangely, "Murdered my wife..."

Fang Zhenqian didn't work overtime tonight, and he packed his bags and left as soon as six o'clock arrived. He promised to accompany Yan Jia out for dinner, but the two of them haven't had dinner together for nearly two weeks.

The secretary knocked on the door and came in, handing him an invitation card for the [-]th anniversary celebration reception of the magazine, and the inviter was Hua Mei.He looked at it for a long time, and finally threw it into the wastebasket, he was not going to go.

That day Huamei invited him to the "Yanyu Flower Nest" in the name of talking about work, and told him that she came back this time for him, which shocked him.

"I'm sorry, I'm already married, and my wife and I have a very good relationship." Knowing that it would hurt her, he had to say that.

Hua Mei's pair of cut eyes seemed to be piercing into his heart, "You really don't care about me at all? Do you dare to say that you don't have the slightest feeling for me anymore?"

Fang Zhenqian unexpectedly stopped speaking.

"At that time, I was young and energetic, and I thought I could make a big breakthrough. Who knew that the years passed, and the storms and waves did pass through, but in the end, what was left to me was more and more lonely. Only now did I realize what is the most important thing." Hua Mei's voice was sad and sad.

Fang Zhenqian just looked at her blankly, feeling that there was nothing to say, and waking up from the dream.Right now, he is powerless.

"I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do." He said flatly.

"No, you can!" There was a hint of madness in Hua Mei's eyes, she gritted her teeth, "As long as you want."

Fang Zhenqian closed his eyes heavily, anxiety and irritability welling up in his heart at the same time.

"It's impossible, everything is over." He continued to dismiss her in a flat tone.

Then, Yan Jia rushed over unexpectedly.

Naturally, Fang Zhenqian didn't want Yan Jia to have any misunderstandings. He longed for a peaceful life. For more than three years, he felt that he had lived a very good life.

After leaving the office, Fang Zhenqian walked quickly towards the elevator entrance, just as Chen Liwei came out of the elevator.

"Old Fang!" Chen Liwei called him, "I got off work so early today!"
