Su Ning's glance.
Although she withdrew it quickly, there were countless people paying close attention to her every move, so naturally it did not escape their notice. They realized she was looking at Antonio.
They smiled knowingly.
No wonder. This mixed-race foreigner's looks were indeed top-notch.
His beauty was captivating.
It was fine if he made a small mistake. Giving him the cold shoulder to let him feel the pain so he would not do it again next time would suffice. In an instant, someone tentatively started to share their experience in this area with Su Ning.
Su Ning was full of question marks.
She just took one look, just one!
Moreover, were the people of the Republic of China era this good at overthinking? Had she not said earlier that she would not consider an illegitimate child born to a mistress with impure blood like Antonio?
They indicated that they knew.
Before marriage, you can play around and dote on them however you like, but after marriage, no matter what, you have to consider the face of the one at home. The official spouse is always different, otherwise, it is easy for the inner courtyard to catch fire. So at this time, if the one outside is willful and disobedient, and will not listen to warnings, just replace them... There is a lot of knowledge in this.
Su Ning was speechless.
Fine, she was being narrow-minded.
These people were not overthinking; they were just very advanced... well, you could also say very traditional.
......
While Su Ning's worldview was being slightly refreshed.
On the other side.
It is you!
Guan Jixing was originally reluctant to come here. After arriving, he was ordered to run up and down. Not to mention his hurt pride, he was also exhausted and panting. So when Chen Lingling said the purpose was for him to apologize and make amends to Su Ning, he finally erupted.
He poured out all his pain and dissatisfaction. Seeing that she only looked surprised and puzzled, he suddenly thought of Wan'er.
If it were Wan'er, she would definitely understand his thoughts very quickly!
A sweet yet sorrowful emotion grew within him.
In that instant.
He felt like a wanderer who had lost his way, mesmerized by the beautiful scenery on other paths, who suddenly found the main road back home and finally saw his own heart clearly.
I know it is hard for you to accept.
Seeing him like this, although Chen Lingling felt the irritation of having her good intentions treated like dirt, she had planned for so long and absolutely would not allow things to be abandoned halfway.
If that happened, her father would definitely mock her for at least a year!
Therefore, she patiently laid out the facts and reasoned with him, finally managing to reluctantly persuade Guan Jixing.
I will do as you say, but that doesn't mean I accept your ideas, Lingling. I am very disappointed in you. I thought you were a pure, poetic, and romantic girl, but I never expected...
He stopped speaking at this point.
He just shook his head and sighed. Chen Lingling was so angry that her head was practically smoking.
She wished she could punch him to make him speak clearly.
Expected what?
She asked through gritted teeth.
Guan Jixing still did not say anything, only giving her a look that said more than words ever could.
Chen Lingling was speechless.
She wanted to kill someone.
Thus, although the plan proceeded as usual, Chen Lingling no longer wanted to talk to him. Keeping a distance between them, they were led by her father to see Su Ning, but unexpectedly, there were simply too many people.
The father and daughter managed to get in.
He was squeezed out.
He even embarrassingly almost got knocked to the ground. Guan Jixing was about to thank the person who supported him, but when he looked up, he found it was Antonio.
After all this time, he had pretty much figured out this guy's background.
Are you here looking for Su Ning?
Guan Jixing mocked mercilessly, A dignified grown man being humiliated like this, if I were you, I would not spare her another glance even if she got down on her knees and begged. And to think you actually like someone like Su Ning.
His taste was too poor.
Unlike him.
Who loved the gentle and beautiful Wan'er, who was like a lily.
Hearing this, Antonio, who was originally surprised, naturally felt very angry. But as he listened, this anger dissipated. He cast a melancholic and depressed glance at him.
Their eyes met.
The emotion was mutually understood.
You, could it be that you do not like Su Ning? Guan Jixing excitedly lowered his voice. He knew that a cold-blooded and heartless woman like her could never be truly loved by anyone.
Antonio nodded slightly.
He valued love and pursued love, but due to various reasons, he had to act as if he deeply loved someone he did not love, or even someone who disgusted him.
This was very painful.
Therefore, even if it was a love rival, his desire to confide could no longer be suppressed at this moment.
I once had feelings for her, but those feelings were quickly shattered. You should know what a terrifying woman Su Ning is. Sometimes, being in the same space as her, I feel like I am being targeted by a venomous snake, a fierce beast, or a monster. Perhaps some people like this feeling, but definitely not me.
What I like is... He paused, then said vaguely:
A girl who is more gentle, pitiful, and cute.
Indeed.
Guan Jixing nodded in agreement. Suddenly, he smiled mysteriously, Looking at your expression... actually, you have already found the girl you like, haven't you?
Yes...
Seeing that he had guessed correctly.
Thinking that the man Su Ning thought deeply loved her actually loved someone else, Guan Jixing felt as thoroughly refreshed as if he had chugged a large mouthful of ice water on a hot summer day.
He subconsciously ignored Mu Wan.
Although the two of them had fought over her the first time they met.
But Wan'er already belonged to him.
She had even given birth to his child.
Since that is the case, why are you still with Su Ning? Did she threaten you, or does she have some leverage over you?
Do not ask.
Antonio closed his eyes in pain.
He spoke blankly:
I used to think the world was beautiful, colorful, and dreamy. As long as I found the person I deeply loved, no matter what obstacles stood in my way, I could break through them without hesitation and live happily and smoothly with my beloved. But when I actually encountered it, I realized that God is so cruel to me.
I was clearly so lucky; the lover I had been searching for for so long was right here in Beiping.
But I cannot love her.
Because of Su Ning?
No, not just her. Antonio felt guilty for a second, There are other reasons.
This other reason was standing right in front of him.
How pitiful.
Comparing the two situations, Guan Jixing thought about how smoothly he and Wan'er had gotten together. While a sense of superiority rose within him, he also felt some sympathy for Antonio.
He then said casually:
There is an old Chinese saying that bitterness finishes and sweetness begins. Perhaps these are all tests given to you by heaven. Once you withstand the tests, things will take a turn for the better. Maybe then, not only will lovers finally be married, but there will be other benefits as well.
Really?
Of course.
He looked at Antonio encouragingly, Evil will be punished, and good will be rewarded. Su Ning will definitely not have a good end, and you and the person you like will surely be able to be together.
You will live happily, keeping each other company. Perhaps you will have two cute children, a boy and a girl. The boy will look like you, and the girl will look like her.
Thank you.
Antonio did not know what to say, so he had to thank him again:
Really, thank you... for your blessing.
You are welcome.
This mixed-race foreigner is quite polite.
Guan Jixing thought.
At this moment, a sudden commotion broke out in the venue. People were screaming and running around in a chaotic mess. Antonio's eyes lit up.
The opportunity had finally arrived!
