Chapter 550: Devoted Performance
Shangguan Ning had warned her that Zhao Anan was impulsive and liked picking on fights and that she should not get mad at her because they were all good friends.
When Mi Xiaoxiao heard that it was a risky business, she did not want to do it. What if she was splashed with sulphuric acid on her face?
But Shangguan Ning begged her repeatedly and guaranteed that she would not be bodily harmed so she had finally agreed to come.
Seeing Zhao Anan get so angry but still not coming to claim her man, Mi Xiaoxiao decided to add fuel to the flame.
“Mumu, you are so sweet to have given me such a precious piece of jewelry. I am so grateful!”
Her voice sounded so fake and sweet that even Mi Xiaoxiao found it creepy.
Mu Qing was also startled by Mi Xiaoxiao’s “Mumu” and she called out so loudly just in case Zhao Anan could not hear them.
Zhao Anan was only one table apart from them, separated by the aisle. If they whispered, the music would cover their voice, but if they talked loudly, she could hear the words clearly.
Zhao Anan wanted to push the table away after she heard what they were talking about.
What was going on here?
What were her mother and grandmother doing this? Were they upset that she was dying at a slow speed and wanted her to expire right on the spot, instead?
She had lost her man and her man’s new lover received jewelry from her own family. She was suffering too much.
However, what made Zhao Anan even more miserable was what followed.
Mi Xiaoxiao’s sweet voice echoed in the restaurant. “But I do not have any presents for you!”
Mu Qing said coaxingly, “It is okay, such a beautiful woman deserves a nice bracelet. Your presence today is the best present that I could have received!”
When Zhao Anan heard these words, she got so annoyed that she almost dropped dead. Her heart would definitely break if this continued.
Mi Xiaoxiao looked happy, but inside her heart, she understood that Mu Qing was referring to Zhao Anan rather than her when he was speaking.
She was also quite pissed now, not at Mu Qing but at Zhao Anan.
How could this girl still be firmly seated on the chair? Didn’t Shangguan Ning say that she was impulsive? What was she doing there getting worked up and playing with a spoon? Wasn’t she supposed to flip the table instead?
Come and get your man!
Mi Xiaoxiao waited for a second and saw that Zhao Anan still hadn’t moved. She mumbled inside her heart, “Okay, if you don’t do anything now, I will have to sacrifice myself for the cause.”
She looked up at Mu Qing and suddenly started to sound a bit shy. “Mumu, I have made a decision. I am going to give you a present. I hope you will like it!”
Having said the words, she stood up and kissed Mu Qing on the cheek leaning across the table.
Mu Qing’s eyes widened and froze.
He had never expected that Mi Xiaoxiao would go this far!
This girl was a bit too devoted. Was she an actress from the Star Media of Jingsheng Enterprise?
He subconsciously turned towards Zhao Anan, thinking that she would get mad and take it for real. But Mi Xiaoxiao cupped his face in her hands and twisted it towards herself, instead.
Mi Xiaoxiao had her face against his and said in a low voice, “I have sacrificed so much! Stop looking so wronged after you took advantage of me. I may kiss you some more times so that your girl runs away!”
Mu Qing did not think that he had taken advantage of this girl, but he did not argue back. The girl had acted on her own by sacrificing herself.
Zhao Anan was stupefied.
Were all women so open these days that they kissed on the first meeting itself?
Why didn’t Mu Qing dodge? Did he enjoy being kissed by the woman?
Zhao Anan felt so confused inside her heart. She was furious and desperate.
Mu Qing liked her, then why was he being nice to other girls and behaving so intimately with them?
She wanted to rush over to confront Mu Qing and to drive away the foxy lady sitting opposite him.
But she ended up doing nothing.
What position did she have to confront Mu Qing?
It had been she who dumped him!
Hence, she should allow him to meet other women.
What was more, this woman seemed flawless, and a good match to Mu Qing. They would have a very happy life in the future.
Wasn’t that what she had always wanted for Mu Qing to have? If this woman truly fitted Mu Qing and could make him happy, she should give them her blessings.
Her life ahead was unknown and she was not sure when the cancer would return and take her away.
Judging from the past, it was very likely that her cancer would come back. Most of the cancer survivors could not be cured completely and it always returned.
It had happened to her once, and the chance of it happening again was even higher.
Also, she was infertile.
When she and Mu Qing were dating earlier, they never used any preventive measure, because Mu Qing had wanted her to get pregnant so that she would never leave him again.
That was what Zhao Anan had thought as well.
But she still did not get pregnant after numerous times of being together.
Mu Qing had been well cultivated since he was young, so it could not have been him.
It was she who had the issue.
Zhao Anan had not been aware of the joy a child brings, when she was a bit younger. She even believed that children would be a burden. But now she realized that a family was not complete unless a child was in it.
She could not imagine what their future would be like if they got married and Mu Qing was never able to become a father.
Zhao Anan raised her head to wipe her tears, and then turned to look at the intimate couple, feeling less irritated.
Her heart was still aching, but she had calmed herself down.
Mi Xiaoxiao returned to her seat and found that Zhao Anan was still seated there stupidly as if her soul had drifted away. Mi Xiaoxiao could not help but roll her eyes!
Mi Xiaoxiao kept complaining inside her own heart – did this girl really like Mu Qing as Shangguan Ning had said? If she had been in her position, she would have come and picked on a fight by now.
What a tough task had she taken over today? Shangguan Ning had set up a trap for her!
