The driver dropped her off at the designated place and thoughtfully opened the car door for her.
"Thank you." Xu Chunian was a bit startled.
"You're welcome, Madam."
She entered the coffee shop and took a seat by the window.
The waiter handed her the menu. Xu Chunian ordered a drink and a dessert, and also ordered a drink for Shen Qingli.
"Thank you. That'll be all for now." Xu Chunian handed the menu back to him.
"Okay, please wait a moment."
"Uh, don't serve it so quickly. I'm still waiting for a friend." Xu Chunian waved her hand and said.
"Shall we serve it when your friend arrives?"
"Yes."
"Okay, understood."
...
Xu Chunian waited until noon but still didn't see Shen Qingli. She was lying on the table boredly, not daring to send a message to hurry her up.
She suddenly remembered Shen Qingli saying, "What kind of wonderful person are you planning to introduce to me this time?"
She hung her head. "What on earth is going on?"
Outside the floor-to-ceiling window, a pretty figure, wearing work clothes, with a shirt and a pencil skirt that outlined her good figure, was standing outside in high heels, staring at Xu Chunian inside, not knowing what she was thinking.
Finally, she sighed and turned to walk into the coffee shop.
Sensing a noise across from her, Xu Chunian looked up in surprise. It was indeed Shen Qingli. She had changed and yet seemed the same, looking even better. "Ali!"
The waiter came over again at this moment. "Madam, shall we serve it to you now?"
"Yes, yes, yes." Xu Chunian nodded. "Serve it now."
In no time, everything was served.
"Ali, your favorite taro paste."
Shen Qingli looked at the dessert, her eyebrows twitched, and she said, "If you have something to say, just say it. I don't have much time for my lunch break."
"Ali, this is going to sound really absurd, but I'll make it short." Xu Chunian paused. "I came from when I was 18."
Shen Qingli's originally cold eyes gradually became caring.
Xu Chunian made a gesture like Erkang stretching out his hand. "I know it's absurd, but I don't know if you still remember. Back in sophomore year, after I confessed my love to Jiang Huaixu and we went on a date, he sent me back and then we went to drink. And then I woke up here."
Shen Qingli pursed her lips. "If you've been feeling unwell lately, you can go to the hospital. My second uncle is there. If you need, I can make an appointment for you."
Xu Chunian: "..."
Her second uncle was the director of a mental hospital.
"Did Qin Yuan stimulate you again?" Shen Qingli continued to ask.
"Qin Yuan? So my husband's name is Qin Yuan."
Shen Qingli had an expression of "as expected", thinking she was really obsessed. "You think he's your husband?"
"No... Isn't he?"
"You have this hysteria. Go and have a look." Shen Qingli was about to get up with her bag.
"Wait." Xu Chunian hung her head. "Ali, besides you, I really don't know who else to turn to. I know this is really hard to believe, but I really don't know how to make you believe me. You're so nice. I must have done something to wrong you. I'm sorry, Ali. I really don't know what happened."
Shen Qingli paused for a moment, pursed her lips, and finally sat back down, but her tone was still rather stiff. "What do you want to ask?"
"Did I do something to wrong you?" Xu Chunian looked at her小心翼翼地.
Shen Qingli's face froze. "Yes."
Seeing that she didn't want to talk about this, Xu Chunian quickly changed the topic. "How did things end between me and Jiang Huaixu? I just confessed my love and didn't even hold his hand before I ended up here."
She had a regretful look on her face. She should have rushed to his house and kissed him while drunk.
"Nothing ended." Shen Qingli had a complicated look on her face. "You two are married."
"Ah." Xu Chunian didn't have time to be shocked.
Shen Qingli continued, "You also have a child."
"What?!"
