Back at the apartment, Wu Qi threw the car keys into the bowl of the shoe cabinet, walked to the wine cabinet, took a bottle of red wine, poured half a glass of it, and took a big gulp.

Wu Lian's phone call caused the resentment he had suppressed for many years to burst out of his heart, instantly pulling him back to the past.

At that time, he and Zhao Meng had a very good relationship, but his mistake was that he should not have brought her back to Wu's house for the New Year.

Wu Lian felt that he was tall and handsome, while Zhao Meng was petite and not good-looking enough, which would lower the Wu family's genes. Therefore, she disliked Zhao Meng everywhere.

Zhao Meng is a person who likes to keep things in mind, so she could only endure Wu Lian's criticism and spend the past few days during the Chinese New Year.

Originally, the two of them left their hometown and the matter was over. Unexpectedly, Wu Lian kept calling Zhao Meng and saying all kinds of unpleasant things.

His career was on the rise, but Zhao Meng did not complain to him and suffered silently.

When he had some savings, paid a down payment, bought this apartment, and was about to propose to Zhao Meng, she proposed to break up.

He couldn't believe it. After his repeated questioning, Zhao Meng revealed that she had been insulted by Wu Lian. Because of Wu Lian, she had insomnia and became irritable and restless, so she had to secretly go to the doctor to get medicine.

And all this, he, the person sleeping next to Zhao Meng, didn't notice it.

He felt very guilty and promised Zhao Meng that he would not let Wu Lian hurt her again, but her mental pressure was too great and she was no longer willing to live with him anymore.

He agreed to break up in order to ease Zhao Meng's emotions. He wanted to pursue her again, but he didn't expect that she would marry another man and immigrate abroad.

Zhao Meng's determination not to be with him anymore completely broke his heart. He transferred one million to her as compensation, but she did not accept it.

Since then, he has never seen Zhao Meng again.

Now he has a house, a car, and a good savings. Losing the woman he once loved most has made him a careless man.

It just so happened that he went to the night market for You Xiaoran to give Lin Xiaoxiao bird's nests, which brought back memories of the past.

Not to mention, Wu Lian also came to join in the fun and called him, only to have him ridicule her.

His thoughts were completely brought back to the past. Thinking of what happened to Zhao Meng, he felt heartbroken. He couldn't even protect his woman, and this guilt made him reluctant to fall in love again.

This relationship with Lin Xiaoxiao will most likely end in vain because he can't let go of the past.

With a slight sigh, he drank the red wine in the glass in one go and went into the bathroom.

The screen of the mobile phone was flashing, showing a series of unfamiliar virtual numbers. After no one answered, the other party did not call again.

After Wu Qi took a shower, he picked up his cell phone and took a look. The call looked like it was a scam call, so he didn't pay attention.

He put down his cell phone, lay down on the bed, and tossed and turned for a long time before falling into a deep sleep.

…

next day

Lin Xiaoxiao doesn't wake up until eight o'clock. She doesn't have to catch up with kindergarten orders every weekend, so she can spend more time.

After checking the time, she got up, washed up, put on the dress Nie Qinru gave her, and went to the street to buy breakfast.

Wu Qi said he would pick her up at ten o'clock. After breakfast, she could also prepare the dessert ingredients and let the dough ferment, so that she would not be in a hurry when she came back from the movie.

Thinking that Nie Qinru would bring her lunch, she immediately sent a WeChat message: [Aunt, there is no need to bring me lunch at noon today. Wu Qi will pick me up at ten o'clock to watch a movie, and we will have lunch outside.]

Nie Qinru: [You guys started dating? It’s good. You don’t have to rush back to the store, I’m here.]

Lin Xiaoxiao: [You will definitely be too busy alone. I will go back to the store after lunch. ]

Nie Qinru: [Okay, you can make your own arrangements. I wish you a happy date. ]

She was very optimistic about Lin Xiaoxiao and Wu Qi, and when they started dating, she was of course very supportive.

Lin Xiaoxiao: [Thank you, Auntie.]

She walked into a breakfast shop and ordered soy milk and pancakes.

"Hey, Xiaoxiao, the dress you are wearing today is so beautiful."

The proprietress was making pancakes and fruit quickly while chatting with Lin Xiaoxiao, "The desserts you made are so fragrant, I can smell them here. My son likes them very much and goes there to buy them every day. Thank you for returning the gift."

He gives away gifts.”

"Every time the little guy comes back, he calls me sister. Of course I have to give him some."

Lin Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "The pancakes you made are also very fragrant. I like this one."

She was flattered when others praised her beauty.

"Here, get it."

The proprietress handed the pancakes and soy milk to Lin Xiaoxiao, "The soy milk is free, so I'll give it to you."

"Thank you."

Lin Xiaoxiao was not polite. It was meaningless to be serious about two yuan.

She returned to the store carrying her breakfast, finished eating in a few minutes, put on her apron and started busy.

Seeing that it was almost ten o'clock, Wu Qi hadn't come yet. She couldn't help but murmur in her heart, maybe he wanted to let her go.

It doesn’t matter, anyway, watching a movie and eating is just a process, so it won’t be a loss if you don’t go.

She wrapped the dough in plastic wrap and let it ferment slowly.

At ten o'clock sharp, Wu Qi walked into the store and saw Lin Xiaoxiao busy and asked, "How long do you want?"

When he saw Lin Xiaoxiao wearing the dress from the blind date again, he couldn't help but frown slightly. He didn't like to see the shadow of Zhao Meng in her body.

"It's ready."

When Lin Xiaoxiao saw Wu Qi frowning, he couldn't help feeling a little uneasy and didn't understand what he was dissatisfied with.

"Let's go."

Wu Qi looked cold and walked out of the store first.

Lin Xiaoxiao silently took off her apron, hung it on the shelf, closed the store door, and walked to Wu Qi's side.

Only then did she realize that he was just punctual and not letting her go. But since he was unwilling, why did he ask her out? Why did he come?

Wu Qi said nothing, turned around and walked towards the parking place. Lin Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and followed behind him.

The two got into the car one after another. Lin Xiaoxiao fastened his seat belt and turned to look at Wu Qi's face, so he simply stopped asking.

As long as she cooperates with whatever movie he wants to watch. Anyway, it’s a process and you won’t get distracted.

About half an hour later, the car stopped in front of a women's clothing store.

"get off."

Wu Qi said nothing, opened the door and got out of the car.

Lin Xiaoxiao quickly got out of the car and asked, "Why did you bring me here?"

"Let's go."

Wu Qi did not answer Lin Xiaoxiao, turned around and entered the store, and said to the store manager, "Choose something suitable for her, not just a skirt."

"etc."

Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Wu Qi, "Why do you want to buy me clothes all of a sudden?"

On their first date, did Wu Qi want to buy her a gift? But judging from his serious expression, it was obvious that it was not as simple as giving her a gift.

"You look too ugly in a skirt."
