Spring Branches

Ever since Lu Yichuang said this, Tang Asi suddenly seemed like a different person, being sarcastic all the time, and adding "not like your first love" to every sentence he spoke.

Lu Yichuan was puzzled. Wasn't she his first love? Why was she jealous of him?

Later, when he got home from get off work that day, he learned at a dinner party that Lu Yisi was not the girl's first boyfriend, and he became jealous again.

It was no longer just the two of them who had dinner at home that day. There were also Ana and Tang Shiyan.

Tang Shiyan had been living in City C before and seldom came to City A. However, because her baby daughter was about to give birth recently, she came here to accompany the girl while she waits for the birth.

And Ana...it's also a long story.

I came back yesterday, alone, and I have lost a lot of weight. I have lost all my sunshine and vigor. No matter what I do, I am absent-minded. When I want to liven up the atmosphere, I always make it awkward.

Lu Yichuang cooked himself today and prepared a table full of delicious food.

Ana took a large bottle of iced cola from the refrigerator and poured a glass for each person.

He said: "Sister Tang can't drink alcohol now, and can't drink Coke either, but you can drink less. The atmosphere today is very good, and everyone is here, so I think Sister Tang can drink less."

As he said that, Ana drank the full cup of Coke in his own cup.

Lu Yichuan leaned back in his chair with his arms folded, and rolled his eyes speechlessly: "Drink less."

This sentence was not said to the little girl, but to Ana.

The Coke was just taken out of the refrigerator and the bottle was just opened. Drinking it like this can be fatal.

So Tang Asi also looked at the superior and subordinate, then looked at Tang Shiyan, and sighed softly. She didn't know what to say. Because Ana was fighting in his own name.

Tang Shiyan also heard something about Ana and the eldest son of the Shen family. She did not choose to support them, nor did she choose to reject them. She just let things take their own course.

Tang Shiyan laughed awkwardly and said to Ana: "Why drink Coke? Auntie will drink with you!"

After these words were spoken, Tang Asi and Lu Yichuan were stunned.

Ana was obviously in a bad mood, and drinking more would be like rubbing salt into his heart.

Tang Shiyan, who always handled things maturely and calmly, couldn't understand why she would say such a thing at this moment. The young couple didn't understand.

Ana happily brought the wine glass: "Aunt Tang really understands me. Drinking Coke is really useless. And drinking Coke and eating at the same time is really miserable."

After pouring wine for the two of them, Ana looked at Lu Yichuan again.

Lu Yichuang waved his hand to indicate that he didn't want to drink.

So Ana took back his hand that was about to take the wine.

He said, "Aunt Tang, today is our first meeting and I think you are a great person. I have also heard about your great deeds before. To be honest, I admire you very much! I'll drink this glass of wine!"

Tang Shiyan said: "It's my first time meeting you today. You're a pretty good kid. No matter which of the two had a problem before, you would always rush to the front. Auntie, thank you in advance."

After saying that, Tang Shiyan drank the half glass of wine in one gulp.

Lu Yichuan: “…”

Tang Asi: “…”

The two men looked at each other, then smiled and buried their heads in eating the food in their bowls.

The scene now seems different from what Lu Yichuang imagined.

But what can we do?

It's okay to offend Ana, but it's different with Tang Shiyan, she is his mother-in-law. This woman is very powerful and cannot be offended!

Lu Yichuan put some of the food in front of him into the little girl's bowl and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Do you think it's noisy?"

Tang Asi nodded and shook his head: "...Let's do this."

"..."

Neither of them listened carefully to the conversation between Ana and Tang Shiyan. Anyway, no one knew what they were talking about, but Ana suddenly opened the valve in his heart and burst out with words.

The more they talked, the more excited they became. They started crying and drank glass after glass of wine.

Tang Shiyan stopped drinking and became Ana's most sincere listener.

Lu Yichuan withdrew his gaze from the two people, shook his head and sighed gently, took out his mobile phone and sent a message to the little girl.

——Eat quickly, and we will go upstairs to rest after eating. Let them play their own games.

The little girl sneered after seeing the message, and replied quickly:

——Is it okay for us to go this way?

Lu Yichuan raised his eyebrows and tapped his fingers quickly on the keyboard.

——Why not?

——No, you go upstairs and wait for me now. I’ll bring the food up and we’ll eat.

After seeing these two messages and looking at Ana who was still crying in pain, Tang Asi decided to go upstairs.

She was worried that if she stayed any longer, Ana would ask her questions and force her to give an answer.

Just as she was thinking this, the little girl had already typed the four words "I think it's okay" into the input box. Just as she was about to click it out, Ana called her name.

Tang Asi's heartbeat involuntarily became a little faster, and his hands shook unconsciously.

She looked up in the direction of the voice in a daze, and heard Ana say, "Sister Tang, how many boyfriends have you had?"

What a sensitive topic this is!

Lu Yichuan, who had already stood up, sat down again after hearing this question.

And he cast his serious gaze on the little girl.

Now everyone at the table looked at the little girl.

Tang Asi let out an "ah" and looked at Tang Shiyan for help.

Tang Shiyan just smiled and said nothing.

Tang Asi bit his lower lip, finding it difficult to answer.

If she told the truth, Lu Yichuan would definitely be angry, but if she told a lie and the lie was discovered one day, she would become a person of dishonesty in Lu Yichuan's eyes.

Dilemma.

Ana said again: "Sister Tang, is it difficult to answer this question?"

Tang Asi: “…”

Tang Asi glanced at Lu Yichuan awkwardly. The expression on his face was very awkward and his eyes were fixed on Tang Asi.

Tang Asi laughed awkwardly, looked at Ana and said, "I think your answer to this question is more interesting."

Lu Yichuan: “…”

Ana opened his mouth to speak, but Lu Yichuan coughed coldly and said, "I think everyone present needs to answer, just as a form of entertainment."

Ana clapped his hands and cheered: "I think it's okay."

Ana said, "Then I'll go first."

After Ana finished saying this, before he could even tell his story, he saw Lu Yichuan rolling his eyes at him coldly.

Ana was instantly horrified and his body trembled.

Gradually, Ana seemed to realize something.

He seemed to have ruined his boss's plan.

He dared not speak.

"..."

The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat dead silent.

Among the four people, Tang Shiyan was the most embarrassed. She was an outsider. It would be a bad idea for her to leave now.

She smiled awkwardly and said, "Ana, everyone should know your story."

Ana's face turned pale. He looked at Lu Yichuan in panic, then at Tang Asi who had his eyes downcast. He swallowed his saliva, and said with a silly grin, "Yeah, you all know this little shit of mine, so there's no need to tell you, hahahaha."

Lu Yichuan's voice was very cold, and he said seriously: "It's okay, everyone is fine anyway, just talk to them one by one."

As he spoke, Lu Yichuan looked at Tang Asi, then at Ana, and asked, "Which of you two will go first?"

Ana smiled awkwardly, "Let me go first."

We are going to die anyway, so the sooner we say it, the sooner we die.

Tang Asi still kept her head down, and Tang Shiyan gently touched the little girl's arm.

Ana said, "As for me, I've dated two people. One was my ex-girlfriend. We met in high school and started dating after we became deskmates. We dated until our junior year and broke up because she was going to study abroad and I was forced to stay in China because of my lack of ability. We talked very little at the beginning because of the time difference. Gradually, we talked very little, almost only one or two words a day. Suddenly one day I received a breakup message, and this message..."

At this point, Ana sneered, his eyes full of anger and self-mockery.

Tang Shiyan laughed and asked curiously, "What is the content of this news?"

Ana sighed again: "I received a photo from her ex-boyfriend. It was a picture of the two of them kissing. He also left a message asking me to stop harassing his girlfriend, otherwise he would find someone to beat me up."

Tang Shiyan: "..."

Tang Shiyan had a shocked look on her face: "Is it so shocking?! Didn't your girlfriend explain it to you at the time?"

Ana shook her head in disappointment. "Even the breakup was initiated by that foreigner. I have never deleted her WeChat. I saw her post a circle of friends a few days ago. The general meaning was that she was confused now and wondered whether she should choose to end this marriage."

"What?!" Hearing this, the little girl who had been keeping her head down and silent suddenly spoke up, with shock written all over her face: "Your ex-girlfriend married that foreigner? Is she having a hard time now and wants to leave but can't bear to?"

Tang Asi said: "If she is unhappy now, it is purely her own fault. She cannot blame anyone else."

Ana sneered: "She...maybe she was blinded by money."

Tang Asi said: "Then you are lucky that this kind of person left!"

Tang Shiyan said: "Yes! She doesn't deserve your love! Even if she is not living well now, she should swallow her grievances."

Ana still sneered and said, "The man she married was not the foreigner, because the foreigner dumped her. The man she is marrying now was introduced by her family. The man's family is very rich and he is well educated, but he is not sincere and is very unfaithful. She quit her job and stayed at home to take care of the baby. During her pregnancy, the man spent money to find other women to satisfy her physical needs."

"..."

Tang's mother and daughter were both shocked again.

It seems that good is rewarded with good, and evil is punished with evil!

In Lu Yichuang's opinion, what Ana said was very normal.

Nowadays, almost nine out of ten rich men spend money to find women to satisfy their needs.

They have money and status.

What kind of woman do you want?

Why should we cling to a husband-wife relationship built on family interests?

Moreover, the husbands were not allowed to touch their wives during pregnancy, so how could they bear it? They could only go out and find mistresses to satisfy their physical needs.

Lu Yichuan thought about it seriously. This kind of thing would never happen to him! Because he knew what he was like and what he needed most.

During Tang Asi's pregnancy, although Lu Yichuan wanted it very much, he would try his best to restrain himself, even if he had to do it with his hands.

Tang Asi patted Ana on the back and comforted her: "It's okay, it's your luck to stay away from such a woman, don't be sad."

Ana smiled and said, "I am sad not because she dumped me, but because I feel bad seeing how bad she is now. After all, we have been together for five years and have been through ups and downs. I still hope that her life can be better."

Tang Asi asked: "Did she look for you?"

Ana nodded: "Yeah."

"What can I do for you?"

"She complained to me about her family situation and said she had missed me. Although she regretted it, she thanked me."

"No more?" Tang Asi asked back.

After three seconds of silence, Ana slowly nodded, "That's it."

But that’s not all.

The ex-girlfriend also borrowed 100,000 yuan from Ana.

This happened several years ago, and Ana never mentioned it, and the other party didn't say anything either.

Ana knew that this matter could not be told, firstly to protect the girl, and secondly because it was already in the past.

It is unlucky to bring up old things. Our eyes are in front of us, so we have to look forward.

Tang Asi didn't seem to hear a satisfactory answer and sighed somewhat discouraged.

Ana glanced at the calm Lu Yichuan next to him, then looked at Tang Asi and said, "Sister Tang, you haven't told your story yet."

After hearing this, Tang Asi lowered his head.

The three people at the table all looked at the little girl.

Lu Yichuan cleared his throat and said, "Well, Xiao Si talks, and I'll talk when you're done."

Tang Asi slowly raised his head to look at Lu Yichuan, laughed darkly, and said, "...I don't actually have a story, so I'll just listen to you guys."

"No." Lu Yichuan's dark eyes were fixed on Tang Asi's strength: "Everyone has to speak. Don't be too proud."

"..."

Tang Asi turned to Tang Shiyan for help again, and Tang Shiyan shook her head helplessly.

In this situation, she couldn't help the little girl.

Tang Asi sighed deeply, with an unhappy look on his face, and said, "The boyfriend I remember most vividly was my first love."

"First love?" Ana joked, "Who is this? Do we know each other?"

As he spoke, Ana's eyes turned to Lu Yichuan.

Lu Yichuan's brows were tightly furrowed. He was particularly nervous at the moment.

Who will be her first love?

Is she going to start talking about the romantic things she and Lu Yisi have done?

Suddenly, for a moment, Lu Yichuan was particularly afraid to hear what the little girl was going to say next and didn't want to listen any more.

But the little girl's words opened her eyes and she couldn't stop.
