Chapter 213: Chapter 213 Reuniting with an Old Friend_1

The venue was once again stirred into quite a commotion---

Because Su Wanxia had previously cooperated with numerous renowned designers in the architecture circle to complete the Mu Group ’s investment project in Bali Island, although she wasn’t seen at the opening ceremony, her reputation soared to new heights!

Her perfect design style and unique artistic vision were truly admirable!

Just now, everyone was puzzled by her absence, but now that they finally saw her, they were instantly awestruck.

She possessed unparalleled artistic talent, as well as an enviably perfect figure and an exceptionally beautiful face!

She seemed like a favored child of God, with not a single flaw to be found!

However, if Shanshan heard their inner thoughts, she would definitely loudly object: Even though her mommy is pretty, she’s not gentle at all, and is simply a mannish tormentor of children!

Jesse looked at that dazzling figure, a look of amazement fleeting through his ice-blue eyes. He always knew she was beautiful, but her beauty seemed limitless, always capable of leaving people in shock!

The little handsome guy, who had kept a straight face the entire time, finally relaxed a bit and wriggled free from Jesse’s grasp, strutting coolly towards Su Wanxia’s direction.

Maybe it was because he was too small, or perhaps his expression was too cute, wherever he went, everyone couldn’t help but make way for him.

Then watching him, they continually smiled and nodded.

He pursed his little lips slightly, without thinking, it was certainly more praise for him.

He didn’t like coming to crowded places because every time he was in a place with lots of people, many couldn’t resist pointing at him, and some even pinched his little face without his consent, or worse yet, some would try to kiss him. If not for his quick reactions, he would have fallen prey to those aunties and sisters many times.

The more he thought about it, the less pleased the little guy became, really wanting to pull his mommy quickly away from this crowded place. He was genuinely worried that someone might suddenly pop up and plant a kiss on him.

No sooner had the little guy finished thinking this than he was scooped up and received a peck on his little cheek.

But he didn’t show any signs of annoyance; in fact, his face lit up with happiness.

Why? Because he liked being held by his own mommy--

"Why did you come so late?" The little guy asked the person holding him, with some displeasure.

Su Wanxia couldn’t help but laugh, kissing his little face again, and chuckling softly, "What? Are you afraid mommy would leave you here, not wanting you anymore?"

Yaoyao seemed to have had his worries hit the mark, pouting and turning his little face away.

Su Wanxia blinked helplessly, "Yaoyao, didn’t I tell you Uncle Jesse would look after you? Don’t be angry, okay~~?"

Yaoyao turned his little face back to look at her, his soft voice sounding especially pleasant, "Then why didn’t you tell me where you were going--"

Su Wanxia raised her eyebrows, "Hmm... alright then, mommy will tell you where she’s going first from now on, okay?"

"You promise..."

Su Wanxia laughed, "Alright, mommy promises--"

Only then did the little guy give in, relaxing the cool expression he had been maintaining.

At this moment, Jesse also came over, smiling as he watched them, "It’s a good thing it’s Yaoyao. If it were Shanshan, I would have had a hard time handling it."

Su Wanxia laughed helplessly, "But it’s good that it’s you. If it were someone else, neither of them would be willing--"

"That’s true, after all, I’ve watched them grow up. If I can’t take them with me, it only means my charm isn’t enough---"

Upon hearing his words, Su Wanxia burst out laughing, then gently put Yaoyao down and crouched to gently discuss with him, "Yaoyao, mommy is going to greet a friend. Is it okay for you to stay with Uncle Jesse for a while?"

Yaoyao blinked his large eyes twice, paused for a moment, then nodded silently.

Su Wanxia gave Jesse a look, a silent nod from him always meant he was doing it somewhat reluctantly.

"Yaoyao, be good, Mommy will be back soon..."

Su Wanxia gently touched his little head, then turned and walked in another direction.

When she had arrived earlier, she saw Meng Can waving at her. It had been years since they’d seen each other, so greeting an old friend was a must.

As she passed the bar, she casually picked up a glass of red wine.

The man’s face was still adorned with a bright, sunny smile.

"Summer... long time no see!"

"Long time no see," Su Wanxia also raised her glass in response.

Meng Can looked at the woman before him, still ravishingly beautiful, and he couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. Such a woman, she was beyond his reach; they were more suitable being friends—

"How come there’s been no news about you in the last two years, as if you disappeared?"

"Well—you see me, right? Taking care of the kid at home..." Su Wanxia spoke with ease, not hiding anything.

Meng Can felt a twinge of bitterness, but his face kept a gentle smile: "He looks so much like him—"

The features were similar, the expressions, even the aura was strikingly alike.

When he first saw the child, he had his suspicions, but they were just that: suspicions, without thinking much further.

But her appearance, and her close interactions with the child, instantly solidified his thoughts.

Su Wanxia let out a chuckle: "Really? Jesse said the same thing."

Meng Can looked at her nonchalant expression and began to doubt again. He hesitated for a moment but couldn’t restrain himself from asking: "But, you two aren’t married—"

Hearing Meng Can’s words, a trace of vulnerability finally appeared on Su Wanxia’s face. She lowered her eyes with a hint of sorrow, observing the way the burgundy liquid swirled tantalizingly beautifully in the glass under the light.

Just as Meng Can was internally regretting what he said, Su Wanxia suddenly let out a laugh: "Meng, the great designer, when did your thinking regress back to the ’70s?"

Meng Can was caught off guard by her abrupt change of mood, then he too let out a chuckle and shook his head, his tone tinged with a hint of remorse.

"No, it’s just that I don’t understand why you two aren’t together..."

Su Wanxia sighed softly and said helplessly, "There are many reasons why we’re not together, in short... we just aren’t."

Meng Can didn’t understand; that man loved her so much, why would he let her be a single mother? How could he bear it?

"Did he betray you?" A flash of anger rose in Meng Can’s heart because he could think of no other reason.

Su Wanxia looked at his expression and shook her head with a chuckle: "It’s not what you think—"

Meng Can became more puzzled, but he didn’t dare to ask more questions, afraid it would upset her.

Although she always seemed very calm, he knew she must be hurting silently inside, after all, she had loved him so deeply—

Su Wanxia took a sip of the wine from her glass, looked at Meng Can, and smilingly asked, "What about you? Got a girlfriend? Or are you already married?"

Meng Can, seeing her gossipy look, didn’t know whether to laugh or not.

He was about to say no when Su Wanxia suddenly looked surprised behind him.

"Wen Lingya?"

Upon hearing the name Su Wanxia uttered, Meng Can’s body stiffened involuntarily—
