Chapter 1212: Chapter 1212: Come in and Sit Down

Tang Ling chuckled, "If I really wanted to do something, I would have done it while you were asleep just now."

She took a deep breath and said, "I’m now working on immigration procedures. Once everything is settled, I plan to take my parents abroad to live. From then on... I might not come back."

"You’re immigrating?" Shen Mianmian was somewhat surprised.

"Yeah!" Tang Ling shrugged, her face expressing relief, "What happened with Xingxing, I indeed failed in my responsibilities. Her death made me realize a lot of things. If I continue to stay in Beijing, I’m afraid I’ll spend the rest of my life drowning in guilt and self-reproach. I don’t want to have regrets, I want to give my parents a peaceful life while they are still healthy. They’ve had a hard life these past years."

"It’s good that you’ve come to terms with it. No matter where, being together as a family is the most important." Shen Mianmian said.

Tang Ling nodded and then suddenly asked, "Mianmian, I want to attend your wedding. Would you welcome me?"

"Of course, you’re welcome." Shen Mianmian sincerely said, "If we hadn’t fallen for the same person, we might have been really good friends."

"I used to think that too." Tang Ling showed a face of regret, "Too bad, what’s done is done. But now, I’ve moved on."

Shen Mianmian smiled faintly, but Tang Ling suddenly asked again, "Mianmian, aren’t you going to invite me in to sit? We’ve been talking at the door for quite a while."

"Ah, I forgot, sorry."

Shen Mianmian invited Tang Ling into the yard. She poured a cup of tea for Tang Ling, and when she came out, Tang Ling was looking at the book on the stone bench, "Mianmian, you also like reading books?"

"I just flip through them when I’m bored. I generally prefer watching dramas." Shen Mianmian said casually.

Tang Ling was a bit surprised, "I thought actors who work on TV dramas wouldn’t like watching TV."

"It’s just some people, I guess!" Shen Mianmian placed the chrysanthemum tea in front of Tang Ling.

Looking at Tang Ling’s tranquil demeanor, it was hard to imagine that moments ago Tang Ling was talking like a madwoman, saying things that would make one’s hair stand on end.

"No wonder He Nan likes you, he’s usually quite reserved too. In some ways, you two are quite similar." Tang Ling said.

Shen Mianmian smiled, "Maybe! Actually, if you really ask He Nan why he likes me, he probably couldn’t tell you, just like I can’t really explain why I like him."

"Can you tell me about how you two met?" Tang Ling asked curiously, "I’m really curious about the scene where you two met."

"Back then I was just a kid. He Nan didn’t really have any thoughts about me, at most, it was just out of sympathy to lend a hand!" Shen Mianmian didn’t want to discuss her past with He Nan in front of others, so she answered somewhat perfunctorily.

Tang Ling seemed to sense this, so she didn’t press further and instead said, "He Nan looks very cold-hearted, but he’s unexpectedly gentle with you."

She sighed and changed the subject, "He promised me before not to tell anyone about what happened to me, but he was worried that you would misunderstand, so he still told you. To be honest with you, at the beginning, I really did want to use Xingxing to sabotage your relationship. I just didn’t expect that he would tell you about Xingxing’s background, and from that moment on, I knew he truly loves you. I simply couldn’t interfere with your relationship."

Hearing her mention this, Shen Mianmian openly admitted, "The first time I met you, I was truly a bit inclined to believe what you said."
