Chapter 307 - The Dream Couple (1/2)
Jack Si smiled. ”Is our generation any less complicated?”
”Hey! Whatever happened is because of our parents' messy lives that affected their children,” Shuang indignantly said.
”But your feelings for Xiaosi have got nothing to do with your parents' past. Even if that past hadn't happened, you would have still fallen for him. That doesn't dictate your feelings and what happened with him and your ex-boyfriend.”
Shuang grumbled. ”I hate it when you say such intelligent stuff.”
”Hahaha.”
Shuang looked outside the window and wondered what Yunru must be doing now. She wanted to have a proper conversation with him so many times.. She had a lot of things to say. But she couldn't gather her courage to face him. There was this awkward air between them, and she had no idea how she would react if they met again.
Her gaze dimmed.
Sorry for hurting you Yunru. Sorry for not realizing your feelings. But I really wish that you are happy.
Jack Si silently stared at her for a moment and then went back to the road.
He stopped the car, and Shuang snapped out. She looked ahead and saw a small house that looked warm and inviting.
”Let's go.”
Jack Si asked, ”Ah? You want me to come in too?”
”Of course. You are not my driver to wait outside like this.”
”Well...but isn't it personal? Are you sure you want me to know stuff that you wouldn't want me to?”
She shrugged. ”You already know all the embarrassing things about me and my Mom who is in jail right now. Anything about my father wouldn't make a difference to be honest.”
He chuckled at her attitude.
They rang the doorbell and a minute later, a middle-aged woman with grey locks her earside opened the door. She greeted Shuang with a warm smile.
”You must be Shuang, right? My husband told me about you.”
”Yes. Nice to meet you, Mrs. Guo. Sorry for bothering you like this.”
She waved her hand. ”Aiya. Don't be. We are happy to have you. After our daughter married and went away, it's been lonely here.”
She took a glance at Jack Si and gasped. ”Oh my. Such a handsome man! You have such beautiful eyes.”
It wasn't everyday that she saw a man with blonde hair and bluish grey eyes.
Jack Si humbly bowed and smiled. ”Thank you, Mrs. Guo.”
”Oh my. Your Mandarin is good too!” Mrs. Guo then eagerly asked, ”Are you two dating?”
They coughed hard.
Jack Si cleared his throat. ”No.”
Shuang nodded.
”Why not? You two look so good together! You should definitely think about a relationship,” she nagged. ”It's hard for youngsters to find a suitable partner these days…” she touched her cheek and sighed. ”You shouldn't let go of such a good man, young lady,” she sharply looked at Shuang.
”And so do you, young man,” she glanced at Jack Si.
They stood awkwardly, not knowing how to respond.
”Aiya Mengmeng, why are you still talking to our guests outside? At least, let them in,” A man in his early fifties came walking towards them.
Mrs. Guo slapped her forehead. ”Aiya, my bad. This young man is so handsome that I forgot everything.”
Mr. Guo's brow twitched. ”Mengmeng…”
He smiled and welcomed them inside.
