Meng Yao couldn't remember how long it had been since she last saw Ling Xiao, so she felt a little dazed when she saw him.
The other person was as gentle as ever, with a hint of smile on his handsome face. He waved gently in greeting.
Meng Yao waved and walked towards him.
"Xiaoyao, long time no see."
Ling Xiao's eyes swept across her cheek almost greedily, and he restrained himself and looked away so as not to appear too abrupt.
"Brother Ling Xiao, long time no see. I didn't expect to see you on the set. It's really strange. I don't remember you being on the cast list."
He smiled faintly: "I decided to come here at the last minute, but it's a role with few scenes..." Ling Xiao sighed regretfully: "If I had known earlier, I should have taken action earlier, then maybe I could have gotten a role with more scenes."
Meng Yao smiled and said, "Brother Ling Xiao, you haven't been active in China recently, right? Your acting career is developing so well, congratulations."
Ling Xiao lowered his eyes, then looked up again and said, "Thank you."
He said with emotion: "The script for the production of "Spring Island" is excellent. This is a good opportunity. I didn't expect you to get the leading role in the movie so quickly... No, I shouldn't say that. In fact, I wouldn't find anything strange about you."
Meng Yao's phone rang suddenly. She apologized and took out her phone from her pocket.
It’s Rong Yan calling.
"Okay, I'll be down right away. Just wait for me for a while."
After hanging up the phone, Meng Yao found that Ling Xiao's eyes were still on her.
Ling Xiao smiled and said gently, "Is that Ah Yan? Does he want to talk to you about something?"
Meng Yao responded, "I've been talking about Sichuan cuisine for a long time. He said there's a restaurant that's pretty authentic, so he took me there to try it."
Ling Xiao curled his lips: "You and Ah-Yan... your relationship has already..."
As if he felt that this was not appropriate, he stopped talking and said, "I mean, it's good for you guys to do this..."
"Brother Lingxiao, Rong Yan is waiting for me, I'll leave first."
"… good."
Meng Yao hurriedly took out the ring from her bag and put it on. She took it off when filming because it was inconvenient, but she had to wear it when meeting Rong Yan.
Rong Wei is deeply obsessed with this ring.
Ling Xiao blinked his eyes to make sure he was not seeing things. The ring firmly on the other person's ring finger pierced his heart like a needle, as if blood was dripping.
He himself didn't know why it hurt so much.
He opened his mouth, but finally found that he had nothing to say, and he had no position to speak.
"Brother Lingxiao, I'm leaving first."
He saw her walking out with the help of her assistant. Her steps were light and brisk, as if she were a bird.
Ling Xiao exhaled slowly, his brows seemed to be shrouded in dark clouds that would not dissipate.
During the time when I wasn't paying attention, to what extent did their relationship reach
The assistant next to him saw that he didn't look very well and advised: "Brother Ling Xiao, did you have a heat stroke? Why do you look a little pale? Let's find a place to rest?"
He waved his hand lightly and said dejectedly: "Let me stay here for a while."
It was a warm afternoon when I saw Xu Shuiqing again. The sun was like a rolling hot ball, constantly emitting heat, but his face did not look very good.
Xu Shuiqing was troubled some time ago and they hadn't been in touch for a long time.
This is a quiet cafe with almost no other sounds except the sound of the wind.
Meng Yao held the coffee in her hand and asked worriedly, "You look very bad. Did you run into any trouble?"
Xu Shuiqing, who was sitting opposite him, forced a smile and said, "I have always been a very strong-willed person. I solve all problems by myself, and this matter is no exception. But now I realize that some things need to be talked about, otherwise my heart will never be at peace."
Meng Yao looked at her and said, "I'm happy to be your listener."
"This is not good news. Maybe I shouldn't share it with you."
"I am divorced."
After these heavy words fell, Xu Shuiqing stirred his coffee, his expression showing a calmness after a period of silence: "The procedures just completed this morning, everything is finished."
Meng Yao showed some surprise on her face, but she did not ask the reason and touched Xu Shuiqing's scar.
"Honestly, I'm surprised. But you're such a great person, I always think you deserve the best."
"Thank you." Xu Shuiqing smiled slowly, but the smile was a bit bitter: "I never thought that this would happen to me. We have been together for so many years and have been through so many ups and downs, but he still cheated."
"Isn't it ridiculous? I'm still alive, but he has found a mole that looks like me."
This is a heavy topic.
Only then did Meng Yao realize that Xu Shuiqing's face looked a little haggard. She was very concerned about her image, but she allowed her shirt to be buttoned incorrectly.
Meng Yao moved the dessert in front of him to her and said word by word: "He is not worthy of you. Such a person is not worth your sadness."
Xu Shuiqing nodded very slowly: "We have had many conflicts, but we have always been able to resolve them. But this time, I guess I can't resolve them. I can't accept his betrayal... Whenever I think about the time I shared a room with him, I feel sick."
She pulled a smile from the corner of her mouth: "If I hadn't discovered his secret, I really don't know how long he would lie to me, a year? Two years? Or a lifetime?"
Meng Yao was silent for a moment, and suddenly held her hand tightly: "You haven't had a good rest these two days, right? I'll take you to dinner, and then you can have a good sleep."
"Nothing is impossible. In fact, this is a good thing because you cut your losses early and don't have to deal with such disgusting people anymore."
Meng Yao slowly walked to her side and let her lean her head against him. Xu Shuiqing sighed, "You're right, Yaoyao, I just need to rest now, a good rest..."
I didn't even take a sip of the coffee, and I didn't even touch the dessert.
Meng Yao and Xu Shuiqing walked out side by side.
Suddenly, a man in a suit and leather shoes rushed out in front of him, wearing an expensive watch. From his slightly bloated face, it was easy to see that he was once handsome.
He held Xu Shuiqing's hand tightly: "Shuiqing, give me one chance, give me another chance..." He said painfully: "I really don't want to get divorced. I have never thought of divorcing you for others!"
"This is the last time, I will never make you sad again!"
"Shuiqing, give me another chance!!"
"Get out of here!" Xu Shuiqing shook his hand away with a cold face, but was entangled by him.
Meng Yao kicked him and said coldly:
"Didn't you hear her tell you to get lost?"
