You’re My Belated Happiness

Chapter 29 Part 1

It was the third swing Xu Huaisong had missed. He was planning to give a detailed explanation about Lu Shenglan, but Ruan Yu had tactfully avoided the topic again and again.

The mounting frustration from missing the goal again and again returned Xu Huaisong to his old self.

By this time, if he didn’t realize that Ruan Yu was doing it on purpose, he wouldn’t be qualified to be a lawyer at all.

Ruan Yu deliberately didn’t make a fuss over the issue; she was trying to prompt him to express himself more clearly by pretending to not care that much

From Ruan Yu’s point of view, Xu Huaisong’s confession came rather suddenly therefore she felt like she had to feel him out first.

She had gotten what she wanted without asking any direct questions and Xu Huaisong had already lost his cool by explaining everything.

Though the result would be the same even if she questioned him hysterically or while whining bitterly, he actually enjoyed that she was playing with him.

Xu Huaisong took a glance at the kitchen.

He thought she was pondering how to turn him down but she surprised him over and over. Now his stomach had also calmed down with the help of the medicine and her.

Xu Huaisong held back the urge to smile and picked up the glass and drank the warm water.

Ruan Yu suddenly felt that her posturing wasn’t working anymore.

Why would Xu Huaisong drink plain water as if he was drinking Martell Limited Edition Cognac? Why would he act so at ease and not respond to her?

Ruan Yu decided to change tactics.

She quietly adjusted her tone of voice and said to him: “I haven’t had lunch yet……”

Xu Huaisong paused from drinking as she had expected and put down the glass: “Why didn’t you?”

Ruan Yu was about to answer but heard him continue: “You don’t eat lunch just because I don’t?”

Ruan Yu was surprised: “With a stomach like yours and you……” still decided to skip lunch?

Both of them grabbed their cell phones and got up ready to go.

It seemed both of them felt silly sitting there talking while both were still hungry.

They walked out of the door and Xu Huaisong suddenly asked: “Can you drive?”

Ruan Yu instinctively replied when she heard the word “drive”: “Drive what?”

Xu Huaisong glanced over at her: “What else?”

Ruan Yu almost choked: “Bicycles and cars; I know how to ride the former, as for the latter…… Though I’ve had my driver’s license for 7 years, I’ve never had the confidence to drive onto the streets.” She asked again: “Why do you ask?”

“I’m hoping you can drive my car. My stomach just had an episode this afternoon, I’m afraid of getting into trouble while I drive.”

“Then when you came over……”

“I was by myself when I drove here.”

His words were like a soft hammer hitting Ruan Yu’s heart directly. She felt dizzy.

She couldn’t say anything for quite a while and her steps felt like floating in the air. Finally she said: “Then, let’s get a ride……”

Ruan Yu picked the restaurant. Since Xu Huaisong had just had a stomach ache, she could only choose a place that served porridge.

When they ordered food, Xu Huaisong let Ruan Yu choose. Ruan Yu picked up the pen and went down the menu to see what to order.

Then she found that there wasn’t much she could choose from.

Preserved egg and lean meat porridge. Preserved eggs won’t do since it’s not good for the stomach.

Sampan porridge, seafood won’t do, it could lead to a stomach infection.

Egg and beef porridge, beef won’t do since it’s hard to digest.

Ruan Yu looked up: “Looks like you can only have plain porridge.”

“It’s fine. You just order what you like to eat.”
