Chapter 348: Chapter 348 The Procedure of Love Remains Unchanged

Xi Wanfen froze when she heard this.

She watched as Dang Li walked over to Liang Zhanbai, who told her, "No need to be courteous, I left you on the couch and went home last night. Did anything happen afterwards? I was worried you might catch a cold there."

"How could I? I actually woke up because it was too hot. The room was stuffy without any windows open."

The two of them laughed together.

Dang Li then said, "Dr. Liang, are you going to eat now? I was just about to as well. Shall we go together?"

"Sure." Liang Zhanbai did not decline.

They went down the staircase over there, while Xi Wanfen just stood there, motionless.

Her heart ached, but she was at a loss for what to do.

Two voices vied within her: one said, "Hurry, win Liang Zhanbai back. Tell him you regret it; from now on you must give his parents respect and be a good wife."

But another voice said: "Don’t go; you’re not ready to be a good wife yet. If you compromise now and fail later, it will be your fault!"

Xi Wanfen watched them go downstairs and then saw them leave through the hospital’s main entrance.

They were not going to the cafeteria to eat, but to somewhere outside.

Her heart was torn with pain.

...

Xi Wanfen was beside herself all night, wondering where Liang Zhanbai and Dang Li might be going.

They wouldn’t be going to a bar, would they?

She also occasionally checked Moments on social media.

Liang Zhanbai only posted on Moments a few times during the period when he was pursuing her; he didn’t use it at any other time.

She didn’t have Dang Li’s WeChat, so she had no idea what they were doing.

At 11 p.m., right after getting off work, she hurried to the small apartment.

If Liang Zhanbai had only gone to dinner with Dang Li, he should be home by now.

However, when she drove past a bar, she unintentionally caught a glimpse of Liang Zhanbai and Dang Li sitting by the window, drinking and chatting joyously.

Xi Wanfen was stunned.

Subconsciously, she parked her car in the parking lot ahead, and then as if possessed, walked into the bar.

Having been brought up in a strict household, her parents never allowed her to go to such places, so she was at a loss as soon as she entered the doorway.

The waiter could tell it was her first time at a bar and approached her, asking, "Miss, would you like a drink?"

She nodded, nervously asking, "I’m just here to sit, is there a minimum charge?"

"No, if you’re alone, you can sit over here," he replied.

"Okay," Xi Wanfen, both anxious and worried that Liang Zhanbai might see her, kept her head down as she walked.

Unexpectedly, she bumped into someone’s belly.

"Sorry, sorry!" She looked up and saw a young man with a fair and chubby appearance.

Qiu Shuai squinted and assessed Xi Wanfen for a moment.

One look and he could tell she was an innocent young girl, clearly unfamiliar with the world of bars, judging by her awkward demeanor.

"It’s okay, I don’t mind," Qiu Shuai said with a smile.

Seeing that he didn’t mind, Xi Wanfen followed the waiter to a secluded spot.

Qiu Shuai took a seat at the bar and occasionally glanced over at Xi Wanfen.

Firstly, he would pay extra attention to girls who were visiting a bar for the first time, fearing they might get deceived or lured away by some bar Casanovas.

Secondly, he liked girls who had a pure and innocent look.

However, every girl he had pursued before complained that he was too fat, and those who didn’t mind his weight were only after his money, which is why he had been single all this time.

Qiu Shuai looked at Xi Wanfen for a while and noticed that she kept staring at a table in front of her.

Qiu Shuai immediately understood that this girl had a crush on someone already. The person she liked was having a lively conversation with another girl; clearly jealous, she didn’t want to go up and interrupt.

So Qiu Shuai sat down close to Liang Zhanbai, pretending to drink nonchalantly while eavesdropping on their conversation.

Even though, well, they were all chatting about some boring topics, like "Have you ever been to Bei City? What do you think of the people from Yun City? Have you been to Li City?" topics like that.

But isn’t it true that deeper relationships between men and women always start with these kinds of topics?

After listening for half an hour, Qiu Shuai went back to Xi Wanfen.

Although Xi Wanfen had ordered a drink, she hadn’t touched it and was instead drinking the glass of water on the table the whole time.

She was a very cautious girl.

He sat down in front of her.

Xi Wanfen immediately became alert.

"Don’t worry, I’m not a bad guy," said Qiu Shuai.

Xi Wanfen looked at him, smiled with her eyes squinted into slits, her belly big, and wearing a chunky gold chain – he looked every bit the bad guy.

"I, I’m leaving," Xi Wanfen said, ready to leave, but Qiu Shuai quickly stopped her: "I know what they’re talking about."

"What, what?"

Qiu Shuai smiled: "Isn’t that what you wanted, to come in and listen to what the man and woman at that table are talking about? I can tell you."

Xi Wanfen then sat back down.

"So, what did they talk about?"

Qiu Shuai relayed everything he had heard.

Xi Wanfen couldn’t help but gasp. Weren’t the things they were talking about just like what she and Liang Zhanbai used to chat about when they were passionately in love?

Indeed, the process of falling in love is the same; no one is exempt from it.

Her heart ached for a while, then she asked Qiu Shuai, "So, do you think there’s a chance for them to develop a relationship?"

"How could there not be a chance? If this continues, of course, there is a possibility. Nowadays, love comes and goes easily, it does not endure hardships."

Xi Wanfen’s gaze dimmed, "That’s right, it doesn’t withstand the test, it’s all my fault."

"How could it be your fault? When a relationship isn’t right, it’s due to problems on both sides, whether personal or familial. Even after marriage, many people still divorce. Look at how high the divorce rate is. It shows that even people in love may not last until the end."

Hearing this, Xi Wanfen said, "Yes, even those who are married can hardly stay together till old age, it’s very rare."

"Those who don’t divorce, many of them involve a sacrifice of one side, you know? But nowadays, isn’t everyone a princess or a prince? Who would put up with that kind of frustration, right?"

Xi Wanfen nodded, "You’re right, but I need to go."

She appreciated Qiu Shuai’s advice, but she still didn’t think he was an honest person—he hung out in bars, was overweight, wore big gold chains, and was not her kind of person.

Besides, Liang Zhanpai and Dang Li were chatting enthusiastically in front of them. She felt unhappy, so sitting here chatting with a fat man, did that make her right?

She decided to go over and greet Liang Zhanbai.

No matter what, it wasn’t right for them to continue being at odds like this.

Xi Wanfen walked over to Liang Zhanbai and called out, "Zhan Bai."

The two, who had been in conversation, looked up upon her approach.
