On Friday afternoon, I took a group shopping in Intime. While a group of foreign women were shopping in the store, I took a break and hid aside to call Luo Xiangdong.
Luo Xiangdong picked up quickly. I said, "What?"
Luo Xiangdong said: "It's work, it's a bit noisy over there, where is it?"
I said, "I'm shopping."
Luo Xiangdong said: "Is there such a good thing?"
I looked back and saw no one needed my help. Then he smiled and replied: "Shopping with someone, why don't you buy something?"
Luo Xiangdong also smiled and said: "Buy. Buy whatever you like. My main card is not with you."
I said, "Yes, your main card can even be purchased in shopping malls. But I have to keep a low profile in front of tourists and not be too showy."
Luo Xiangdong said with a smile: "Otherwise your tourists would think you came out for a private visit incognito."
I smiled and joked with him, and when I heard someone calling Tour Guide Liang in the store, I hurriedly said to Luo Xiangdong: "You are busy with your business, I will withdraw."
"Go ahead. Go home early tonight."
"okay."
hang up the phone. I ducked into the women's clothing store behind me. This time I took a Japanese tour group. The Japanese pronunciation of English is really disrespectful, even if the shopping guides in the mall can speak English. But the two sides still couldn't communicate normally, and they always said something different.
I followed the translator and walked out with a group of women after shopping.
This is their last day in Night City. After leaving the mall, a company bus will pick them up and take them to the airport. I'm just responsible for taking them out of the mall.
There were twenty or thirty people in our group. We couldn't take the elevator, so we had to take the escalator. It was a fateful arrangement. When I was taking the escalator downstairs, I accidentally glanced and saw a familiar figure standing on the escalator going up to the right.
Although we were no less than ten or twenty meters away, I had a good eye and saw Luo Xiangdong at a glance. He was wearing a ginger short coat, which I helped him get from the closet in the morning.
He was thinking about such a coincidence... But when he looked again, Luo Xiangdong turned his head and spoke to the person on his left. Because he was tall, I didn't see him at first, but there was someone standing on his left. From my angle, I only saw a corner of the red handbag, but not the front face.
It's a woman.
This was my first reaction.
The escalator on my side goes down, and the escalator on his side goes up. Luo Xiangdong didn't look at me at all, but I kept looking back and saw the back of Luo Xiangdong standing side by side with a woman. The woman was wearing a white windbreaker, and her long curly hair hung down below the butterfly bone.
Seeing this scene, I didn't think Luo Xiangdong was cheating, I was just surprised. It feels a bit strange, but that's what I thought.
The female tourist next to me spoke to me, forcing my attention back.
She said I was very good and asked me to be a tour guide next time she came to Night City. Naturally, I responded with a smile.
After sending a group of people out of the mall, there was a bus waiting outside to pick them up. After I said goodbye to everyone, I turned around and returned to the mall.
After taking the escalator to the second floor, I didn't know if Luo Xiangdong and the woman were on this floor, so I just wanted to look around. But this search really made me find it.
In the jolee store, apart from the clerk, there were only Luo Xiangdong and the woman in the white windbreaker, so I saw them at a glance. They stood in front of the main cabinet in the middle of the store. The woman pointed at the contents, and the clerk immediately took out a box of jewelry wearing white gloves.
She turned to look at Luo Xiangdong, as if asking about jewelry. I took a closer look and couldn't help but widen my eyes slightly. This face... why does it look so familiar
I stood not far outside the store and really thought about it for a while, and then I suddenly realized. It's Rong Xin!
Yes, the woman next to Luo Xiangdong is Rong Xin.
Previously, Luo Xiangdong said that Rong Xin's family had immigrated to Canada for many years and they were not in the country, so the affairs between them were completely based on rumors and could not be reconciled.
I believed it.
Luo Xiangdong said that he was working. I naturally thought that he was working at Luo's, so I believed him.
The two of them appeared in the jewelry store, and I instinctively thought of words like marriage and fiancée. I couldn't describe the anger in my heart. It came all at once. I seemed to have returned to my senior year of college. When I opened the door of my house with a scholarship and was filled with joy, I discovered that Chen Wenhang and Zhang Xinwei were involved.
I haven't felt this way for so long that I seemed to have healed the scar and forgot about the pain. Now when the wound is opened again, I realize how painful it is to relapse.
Confused, the first reaction is confusion.
I couldn't hear what Rong Xin said to Luo Xiangdong. From my perspective, I could only see Luo Xiangdong's back and a small part of Rong Xin's profile. She looked at him and smiled, saying something while laughing.
I was so angry that I immediately took two steps forward. I wanted to rush in, grab Luo Xiangdong by the collar, and ask him where he worked and who he worked with.
But the sudden pause in my steps and the thoughts that flashed through my mind made me stop this idea.
I prefer the temptation of knowingly asking questions rather than 'caught in the presence of an adulterer'.
I don’t know what kind of perverted masochistic state of mind this is. I know that the result will probably make me more sad, but I still lie to myself and say that I have played a good game of cat and mouse.
I took a few steps back and hid myself from the view of people in the store. He took out his mobile phone and called Luo Xiangdong.
Luo Xiangdong answered the question quickly. I thought he didn't shy away from Rong Xin at all
"Hey." Luo Xiangdong said.
"I'm done, are you done?"
"You're done so soon?" He asked without answering.
I held a breath in my heart, but I had to try my best to pretend that nothing was wrong, and said back to him: "It's already past six o'clock, and you don't get overtime pay for overtime work." After saying that, without waiting for his response, I went on my own. Added: "When will you finish your work?"
Luo Xiangdong said: "Half an hour, where are you? Do you need me to pick you up?"
I said, "Are you at the company? I happen to be near your company. I'll go find you."
Luo Xiangdong said: "I'm not in the company, I'm outside."
I asked: "What are you doing outside?"
Luo Xiangdong said: "I'm shopping with other women."
My heart suddenly felt sour and I almost shed tears.
Is Luo Xiangdong preparing for a showdown with me
I pursed my lips tightly, my throat seemed to be clamped, and I couldn't make any sound.
A few seconds later, Luo Xiangdong asked tentatively: "What's wrong? I'm just kidding you and you're still angry?"
If he knew that I was only a few dozen steps away from him, I'm afraid he wouldn't find this 'joke' so funny.
Adjusting my breathing secretly, I replied aloud: "Then you go shopping, I'll hang up first."
"Hey..." Luo Xiangdong still had something to say, but I had hung up the phone and walked in the opposite direction to the other end.
Luo Xiangdong's phone call came right away. I saw it but didn't answer it, and let him keep calling.
There were so many people in the shopping mall. Although I felt sad and aggrieved, I couldn't bear to cry. Until he got home and opened the door, he took a step back and our eyes met. Because there is anger in both eyes, we are more like two people who are facing each other tit for tat.
They looked at each other for five seconds, but it was Luo Xiangdong who softened first. He stretched out his hand to open the door, looked at me and said, "What happened? Why are you so angry?"
I clenched my fists, just to be able to speak with some success and not to burst into tears as soon as I opened my mouth.
My nails dug into my palms, and the pain woke me up. I glared at Luo Xiangdong and asked him, "Aren't you going shopping with a woman? Why are you here?"
Luo Xiangdong frowned subconsciously and said, "Are you okay? I was kidding you..."
Before he could finish what he said, I couldn't hold it back and interrupted loudly: "Are you picking out a wedding ring from your fiancée? Why didn't you tell me about such a big deal in advance so that I could prepare a generous gift? , and outsiders say that I have taken advantage of you for so long and don’t understand anything at all!”
