1306 I Only Want You 4 (1/2)
An Xiaoning agreed with a nod, ”Seems like it. Hurry and explain.”
”Wu Lianzhi used to be lovers with Long Tianze's wife in our previous lifetime. I'm talking about Yu Jiao.”
An Xiaoning's eyes widened in shock and she asked, ”You're not lying to me, are you?”
”What do I stand to gain from lying to you? I only knew about him because Lord Xihou mentioned that he was jealous of him on a few occasions. I found out later that he was not actually in love with you but was fond of your maid instead.”
”…”
Having understood what he meant, Wu Lianzhi asked, ”Who's Yu Jiao?”
Laughing wryly, An Xiaoning answered, ”My maid in my previous lifetime.”
”And in this lifetime?”
”In this lifetime, she has already gotten married and given birth to children. Her husband is Long Tianze, the owner of an advertising and media company in our city.”
Wu Lianzhi nodded and asked, ”Mr. Xiao, was Yu Jiao in a relationship with me in my previous lifetime?”
”Like I said, you two were lovers. However, you two definitely didn't end up together because I heard that you died after the Wu family killed you.”
”Oh, I see, but all of that happened in the previous lifetime. Xiaoning, how is Yu Jiao doing now?”
”She's doing very well. Her husband really dotes on her, and they have a daughter and a son. She's enjoying a blissful marriage.”
”Good to hear. Since I didn't get to meet her early in this lifetime, it just means that we're no longer destined to be together. I'm contented enough knowing that she's living well now. But do you have a photo of her?”
”I do.” An Xiaoning opened her photo album on her mobile phone and showed him a photo of Mei Yangyang. ”This is her. Her name is Mei Yangyang.”
Wu Lianzhi smiled and remarked, ”She's quite pretty.”
”Yeah, her daughter resembles her greatly. They both have chubby cheeks.”
”Xiaoning.”
”Yes?”
”Please don't tell her or her husband about our relationship in our previous lifetime. I don't want to intrude or disrupt their peaceful life.”
Surprised to see how considerate he was toward Mei Yangyang, An Xiaoning said, ”Alright, I'll keep it from her, in that case. Like you said, since you're not fated to be together in this lifetime, it's better that you not cross paths.”
It was time for them to talk about the main topic.
”Have you found him yet?” An Xiaoning asked Xiao Chenyang.
”I've already sent my men to hunt him down. We'll bring him back immediately once we find him. Did he come all the way here to look for you, though?” Xiao Chenyang asked, returning to his usual austerity.
”I don't think so. No idea. Did you go to the Donggong family mansion yet?”
”Yes, I've already gone there. I got into a brawl with the old fogy too. I thought that he would have impressive skills but I managed to subdue him effortlessly. I've already brought him back to S Nation.”
”…”
An Xiaoning stuck her thumb up and said in compliment, ”Well done, how suave of you.”
”You flatter me.” Xiao Chenyang decided to tell her about Fang Erlan. He continued, ”Now that there are new artistes in your entertainment studio, Erlan will retire after the filming for this television series draws to a close.”
”Yangyang and I have already guessed that you would do that, so we've prepared ourselves for it. However, when do you two plan to get married?”
”I haven't thought about it yet, but we can't rush the wedding. It's a serious matter, and we ought to prepare for it well. I initially didn't want to throw an extravagant wedding because I thought that it was a private matter that should be kept between us and amongst our closest friends and family. However, I've now changed my mind. On the day of our wedding, I'm going to announce to the entire world that she's my woman.”
An Xiaoning remarked, ”Oh wow, you're planning to throw such a grand wedding, huh? Do you plan to go bankrupt and spend all your money on it?”
