half thorns, half joy

Lin Qiaoer gritted her teeth, "Is that woman's surname Tang? Her name is Tang Xuan."

Jessica thought for a while, then took out her mobile phone, "Wait a minute, let me ask you, my cousin went to their wedding banquet, she should have some impression."

"Okay..." Lin Qiaoer had mixed feelings in her heart, she reached out for a glass of wine and drank it down.

When she first met Tang Xuan, Lin Qiaoer thought that Tang Xuan was someone like Xiao Zihan's cousins. After all, it seemed that the two of them were not close.Xiao Zihan didn't even look at that child.

But judging from Xiao Zihan's various behaviors and attitudes later on, Xiao Zihan treated Tang Xuan differently, at least, he had that intention.Although, both of them seem to be in conflict and do not understand each other.

In addition, Cai Jinyu, as Xiao Zihan's friend, actually defended that Tang Xuan everywhere, which made Lin Qiaoer feel that this Tang Xuan was unusual.

That's why Lin Qiaoer suddenly asked Jessica out to find out the news.

The reality is even more unexpected than Lin Qiaoer imagined.

Jessica threw her phone on the table, "My cousin said that she remembered that her surname was Tang, but she forgot what it was called Tang."

Lin Qiaoer took a deep breath, "Then it seems that it is probably that woman..."

"Ah? What?" Jessica was puzzled.

Lin Qiaoer took Jessica's hand and continued to ask: "By the way, do you know that Xiao Zihan and his fiancée have a child?"

"child?"

"Yes, there is a boy."

Jessica shook her head, "I don't know, I don't even know that woman's last name, how could I know this, besides, I don't care. What's wrong, that woman gave birth to him?"

Lin Qiaoer nodded, then shook her head again, "I'm not sure, that child doesn't have the same surname as Xiao Zihan, but Tang, and I don't think Xiao Zihan cares about that child at all, and he doesn't seem worried at all when he's sick. He really cares about that woman surnamed Tang."

"It's probably not my child." Jessica sneered, "No matter how you look at it, it should be more concerned about my blood."

"Well...that's right..." Lin Qiaoer was confused.

She couldn't figure it out, if Tang Xuan's child wasn't Xiao Zihan's, wouldn't that be a cuckold for Xiao Zihan? Then why Xiao Zihan let Tang Xuan live in the villa? Putting on such a smug face?
I really, really don't understand.

"Sister, just listen to my sister's persuasion, don't get involved with that man, that kind of stuffy man is meaningless. Youth is short, you have to enjoy it." Jessica persuaded Lin Qiaoer quite earnestly, He snapped his fingers and called the bartender at the Slow Shake Bar.

The bartender is also a jerk, and when he saw Jessica, he smiled very beautifully. "Honey, would you like some wine?"

Jessica blinked and teased, "No alcohol."

Bartender: "So... what do you want?"

Jessica: "I want you."

The bartender pursed his lips and lowered his head to smile. He quickly glanced at the bar not far behind, smiled and said to Jessica, "I get off work at 11:30."

Jessica lowered her voice accordingly, her tone was very flirtatious, "Okay, I'll wait for you."

After the bartender left, Jessica said to Lin Qiaoer: "Sister, sister will let you go tonight, so little brother, you can take it to play later."

"Huh?" Lin Qiaoer was still immersed in Xiao Zihan and Tang Xuan's affairs, so she didn't realize it for a while.

"Ah what." Jessica pushed Lin Qiaoer, "Don't tell my sister, you have to guard yourself like a jade for that surname Xiao, sister, I will look down on you."

Jessica and the other sisters have been playing for a long time, and they are very indifferent to sincerity and emotion. If they say true love in front of them, they will spit it out with exaggerated expressions.

Of course, Lin Qiaoer would not look for contempt in front of her sisters. She chuckled a few times and said in an exaggerated tone: "What kind of person am I? Sister, don't disgust me."

"That's right, this is my good sister." Jessica picked up the wine glass, clinked glasses with Lin Qiaoer, and said to the others: "Sisters, let's not go home tonight if we don't get drunk."

"Come! If you don't get drunk, you won't return!"

Lin Qiaoer was playing crazy on the surface, but in her heart, she still couldn't forget about Xiao Zihan.

She began to realize that she really seemed to be in love with Xiao Zihan.

After drinking for seven, eight or nine rounds, Jessica Lin Qiaoer was already a little drunk, and several people leaned against each other, laughing and talking about nasty jokes that the men couldn't stand after hearing it.

A well-dressed man stepped forward, sat next to Jessica in the name of drinking together, and flirted with Jessica.

Jessica saw that the man looked good and had a good figure, so she snuggled into the man's arms without rejecting anyone who came, and after a while, she began to feed wine mouth to mouth.

And the previous bartender also came over.

"I'm off work, do you still have a drink?" The bartender saw that Jessica was getting tired of being with another man, so he sat down next to Lin Qiaoer.

Seeing this, Jessica pushed Lin Qiaoer into the arms of the bartender, and half-drunkly ordered: "My sister is in a bad mood today, you have to tease my sister to make her happy."

The bartender naturally hugged Lin Qiaoer into his arms, approached Lin Qiaoer seemingly shyly but actually was very experienced, and whispered in Lin Qiaoer's ear: "Are you unhappy, then I will accompany you."

Lin Qiaoer was preoccupied at first and was not in the mood to fool around with the bartender, but as soon as she was teased by the bartender, she immediately lost her defense and let herself get close to the bartender's arms.

Suppress all the unhappiness and let the short-term physical relationship numb her nerves of broken love.

……

After Xiao Zihan left the villa that day, he didn't go back for several days.He lived and ate in the company, turned into a workaholic once again, and made the whole company fearful, afraid of making mistakes and getting in the way of the boss.

Tang Xuan was still the same as before, eating when it was time to eat, and coaxing the baby when it was time to coax the baby, but there was no Xiao Zihan in the villa, and her heart was a little empty.

But today is different, Tang Xuan asked herself, even if Xiao Zihan didn't come back, she has no right to ask why, and she has no reason.

What's more, if Xiao Zihan happened to be with Lin Qiaoer when he asked, it would be too embarrassing.

Although the nannies in the villa were all respectful to Tang Xuan, they didn't know about Xiao Zihan's and Tang Xuan's relationship experience, so they didn't mention it and just worked in silence.

In this way, Tang Xuan only felt that life was very boring.

She hardly knows the point without a baby.

Just when Tang Xuan was considering whether she should move out, she suddenly received an invitation card, which stated that Tang Xuan was invited to the dance.

Tang Xuan didn't intend to go, but the driver emphasized that it was Xiao Zihan who sent the invitation, and the driver would take Tang Xuan there at night.

Tang Xuan didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Xiao Zihan's gourd, but since Xiao Zihan asked for it, she thought she had to go there.

After all, it is too difficult for Xiao Zihan to get angry now.

Also, she hasn't seen Xiao Zihan for many days. In fact, deep down in her heart, she misses Xiao Zihan very much.

Tang Xuan put on the dress sent by the driver, put her long hair in a simple bun, put on a little makeup, put on the high heels she hadn't worn for a long time, and set off.

Along the way, she was restless.

She didn't like to attend such a dance party before. Fortunately, Xiao Zihan was by her side at that time, so she could feel more at ease.

And now...

Tang Xuan's mind was in a mess, and she thought about it all the way until the car stopped in front of a restaurant that specially held various banquets.

The driver opened the door for Tang Xuan, "Miss Tang, do you need me to take you up?"

"No need, I'll go by myself." Tang Xuan didn't like to bother others, so she smiled at the driver, "Thank you for your hard work."

After finishing speaking, Tang Xuan held the invitation card and dinner bag with one hand, lifted the hem of her skirt with the other, and walked up the steps.

After she became pregnant, she never wore high heels again, and she was not used to wearing them again after a year.The original 3-minute journey, but Tang Xuan was afraid of being twisted, took a full 10 minutes.

After going up to the second floor and showing the invitation, Tang Xuan walked in with a smile.

Still the same as before, the men are in suits and leather shoes, elegant gentlemen, and the women are in dresses and long skirts, beautiful and noble, all of them look otherworldly.

Tang Xuan walked in slowly. She knew that she had to pay attention to her manners when she came to this kind of place, so she tried her best to observe the banquet hall less presumptuously, hoping to find Xiao Zihan.

After looking around, Tang Xuan's eyes were sore, but she still didn't see Xiao Zihan.

She showed a disappointed expression, found a corner with a little less people, and stood there.

From the first second Tang Xuan entered the banquet hall, Lin Qiaoer's eyes were glued to Tang Xuan's body. She watched Tang Xuan looking around and finally stood alone, the corners of her mouth curled up uncontrollably.

She gave the invitation card to the driver, and she also prepared the dress. The purpose, of course, was to see Tang Xuan's jokes.

"I'd like to see how you still push me when you're in this kind of place, huh." Lin Qiaoer turned around and walked into the small banquet hall, lying on the back of the sofa behind Xiao Zihan with a smile, and said coquettishly: "Dad, why are you still talking?" It's not over yet."

Father Lin dotingly stared at his daughter, "You girl, you're making trouble again."

Lin Qiaoer pursed her lips, "I don't, it's just that you have been pulling Zihan to chat, and no one talks with me anymore. Haven't you finished chatting?"

"Okay, we're making trouble again." Father Lin loved Lin Qiaoer very much, and quickly apologized to Xiao Zihan when he saw this, "Zihan, this girl really caused you trouble."

Xiao Zihan smirked slightly, but didn't speak.

Lin Qiaoer lowered her head, leaned into Xiao Zihan's ear, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Zihan, I saw Cai Jinyu coming."

"Huh?" On Xiao Zihan's face, there was a little expression fluctuation.

"He doesn't seem very happy, do you want to go and have a look?" Lin Qiaoer said again.

After all, they are good friends, even if there was a little awkwardness before, when Lin Qiaoer said that, Xiao Zihan's first reaction was to go and have a look.

He stood up, bowed slightly to the few people present, and said goodbye politely, "Several elders, my nephew still has some things to deal with, excuse me."

"Go, go." Seeing that Xiao Zihan was called away by his own daughter, Lin's father hurriedly smoothed things over, "Young man, you just have a lot of small thoughts. Come, let's chat."

"Yes, let the young people go to play."

After Lin Qiaoer led Xiao Zihan out of the small banquet hall, she went straight to where Tang Xuan was.She was extra careful, deliberately circled around and walked past Tang Xuan.

When she walked behind Tang Xuan, Lin Qiaoer put her hand on Xiao Zihan's arm.

"Hey, Zihan, where is Jinyu?" Lin Qiaoer raised her voice and pointed to Cai Jinyu's position affectionately for Xiao Zihan.

Hearing this sound, Tang Xuan, who had her back to Xiao Zihan, turned around slowly.

Then, the four eyes met.

They all saw shock in each other's eyes.
