Chapter 92
"What kind of reaction is that? Don't tell me you guys haven't… done it yet," said Zhu Lingling, looking stunned .
"Of course not, we've been sleeping in separate bedrooms . "
"What? Separate bedrooms? So, what the heck was the point of getting married?" Zhu Lingling asked with slight disdain .
"Just because we are married doesn't mean we have to sleep together . You already know that I only agreed to marry him so Zhixin could get the surgery . "
"But you guys are husband and wife now, and that's a fact . "
Huo Mian replied with silence, as a melancholic look appeared on her face .
Huo Mian had no idea that things would turn out the way they did . She no longer had any idea of how she and Qin Chu would get along from now on .
"Okay, I will stop talking about this depressing topic . This is my new boyfriend, what do you think?" Zhu Lingling pulled out her phone and showed Huo Mian a photo of her standing intimately next to a man .
"Will this one last more than three months?" Huo Mian asked with a worried look on her face .
"This one is rich and talented . I don't think there will be a problem . Ha! This guy is a smart businessman, and I'm going for the long-run this time . It's for real this time, girl!"
While Huo Mian listened to Zhu Lingling's sincere and serious promise, she still felt a little skeptical about the whole situation .
"You say you are 'for real' every time, but it never lasts for more than three months . "
"Not my fault that none of my relationships were true love . " Zhu Lingling rested her chin on her palms and smiled .
"Fine . Have you ordered food yet? I'm starving . " Huo Mian smiled back .
"Yup, you are treating today! You've married rich! I must rip you off a little!" Zhu Lingling stuck out her tongue playfully .
"It's on me, no problem . " Huo Mian patted her chest reassuringly .
"Whoa! Must be nice to be rich! Here, boss, a toast to you . Congratulations on your marriage . "
"Let's change the blessing, this one is no good," Huo Mian said indecisively .
"Who cares . Let me tell you something, Mian . We only live for so long, don't be so hesitant all the time . Don't dread the past, fear the future, and end up accomplishing absolutely nothing in the end . Don't wait until you are old, and then regret the choices that you didn't make . If you ask me, your relationship with Qin Chu is a simple one . You love him, and he loves you . So, be together, and deal with the rest later . "
Huo Mian smiled bitterly .
"Lingling, things are not as easy as you crack them up to be . Sometimes it's difficult for you to try to walk a mile in my shoes . It can be hard for you to understand what I'm going through . But it's fine, let's not talk about this . We barely have time to have dinner together anymore, so let's just enjoy ourselves . "
The two women raised their glasses and toasted .
The meal cost 700 yuan, so it was a little luxurious indeed .
But as soon as Huo Mian paid for the bill, Zhu Lingling stuffed a big red envelope into her hands .
"What is this?" Huo Mian asked in disbelief .
"Your wedding gift . "
"Dude, I didn't even have a wedding . " Huo Mian didn't know whether she should laugh or cry .
"Yes, but you guys are married on paper . It's common courtesy . "
"Fine, you win . " Huo Mian willingly accepted Zhu Lingling's red envelope .
Just by the look of it, there were at least five thousand yuan in there . If there was anything that made Huo Mian feel happy these past years, it was the fact that she had Zhu Lingling as her best friend .
She was always by her side whenever Huo Mian needed help .
Huo Mian used to think that perhaps friendship would last longer than love .
After dinner with Zhu Lingling, Huo Mian took a taxi back to Imperial Park .
Her phone started ringing right as she was about to get off the taxi .
"Ms . Huo, I'm Mr . Luo, the Lawyer . "
"What do you want?" Huo Mian's face turned dark as soon as she heard the voice on the other line .
"Ms . Huo, I'm calling you to tell you that you no longer need to go through the trouble of suing anymore . "
"Are you trying to settle with me again?" Huo Mian laughed coldly .
"No, something happened to my client . "
"What?" Huo Mian couldn't believe her ears as she asked again .
