In the end, Zhao Anan managed to push Mu Qing off. She left the airport alone with her luggage.

  It was a very hot summer in A City, and dressed in a leather dress, she felt sweat travel all over her body. But her heart felt cold.

  She had lived in Germany for a very long time to attain full recovery.

  Although she looked intimidating and distant when she met Mu Qing, she had been scared that he would see through her weakness. Luckily, he was a top-notch Chinese and western doctor but not a psychiatrist. He couldn’t see through her heart and she had managed to walk away with a pretentious posture.

  Zhao Anan hired a taxi and asked the driver to go fast because of Mu Qing, who kept shouting from behind.

  The good natured, middle aged driver, couldn’t help but speak up, seeing the person who kept running after the car, “Girl, your boyfriend is so true to you. You shouldn’t be this cruel to him. True love is not easily found these days. You mustn’t let it slip away.”


  Zhao Anan didn’t need to hide anything from the stranger. She wiped away her tears and smiled bleakly. “You don’t need to be with the man you love to prove it. Just because I turned him down doesn’t mean that I don’t love him. As long as he lives well, it would be enough for me.”


  Shangguan Ning had just reached home with Jing Yichen when Zhao Anan called her. “Shangguan Ning, you are so heartless! I have just come back from a foreign country and you ran away with your husband, leaving me alone at the airport. This is the end of our friendship.”


  “I was the one who hooked you up with my cousin and you turned out to be a typical ladder remover! I am so disappointed in you. You must appear in front of me within ten minutes, or, you will need to face the consequences!”


  Being scolded by her best friend, Shangguan Ning immediately asked, “Where are you? I will be there in a jiffy!”


  Ten minutes later, Shangguan Ning appeared at Victorian, leaving an annoyed Jing Yichen behind.

  She hugged Zhao Anan, standing right in the middle of the restaurant. Tears spilled out of her eyes.

  “Anan, I missed you so much! Finally, you are back. You look just the same. I am so happy to see you.”


  Zhao Anan pushed her away disdainfully, and said, “I am feeling hot in this weather. Don’t stick to me. You didn’t seem to miss me so much back at the airport, but you do now? I will not forgive you so easily.”


  Despite her harsh words, she started to wipe off Shangguan Ning’s tears.

  But they kept leaking out.

  “Alright, alright! I am not angry with you. I have forgiven you. I feel so sour in my heart. If my cousin gets to know about your tears, I will be slayed alive.”


  The restaurant was still in business. Some guests looked at them curiously, making Zhao Anan feel uncomfortable.

  It seemed as if she had bullied Shangguan Ning. But it had been Ning who hadn’t behaved well and left her alone to deal with that scumbag Mu Qing. But now, she started to cry even before Zhao Anan could get angry.

  It seemed that she will have to be the bigger person here.

  “Alright, alright, it was my fault. I shouldn’t have shouted at you. Don’t cry, I am sorry, okay?”


  But Shangguan Ning’s tears kept trickling down like pearls without thread. She wasn’t crying because Zhao Anan had bellowed at her.

  She was just very happy to see Zhao Anan back to what she was like before – cool, young and full of energy. She was no longer the woman who had looked so skinny back at the hospital in Germany.

  She wiped her tears and said guiltily, “I am ashamed to shed tears like this. Let’s get inside and talk!”


  Zhao Anan released a sigh of relief. She pulled the luggage into the restaurant and said exaggeratingly, “My god, my sister finally knows about shame. You almost flooded my restaurant with your tears and scared my guests away. You better not come here next time, or my restaurant will have to be closed down.”


  The way she said it, Shangguan Ning couldn’t help but burst into laughter. She joked while pulling the luggage. “I must be looking ugly while crying. I can be the God of Gate for you next time to drive away all the demons. Then your restaurant will have good business!”


  “Forget it, you look too fragile and tearful to scare the demons! Instead, you can tidy yourself up and become a beautiful waitress. Then my business would definitely boom.”


  “Aha, you even dare to ask your sister to be your waitress. If you are going to be this cruel, I will tell my husband and he will buy out everything!”


  “Honestly, are you trying to show off your relationship in front of me and kill this single girl with jealousy? I have to remind you that I am your matchmaker! You have mistreated me so much that I haven’t even received the red packet yet. Let me go and buy some pills of regret……”


  They came into the room and sat down next to each other. They couldn’t help but hug each other again. Zhao Anan had missed Shangguan Ning a great deal as well. She only had Shangguan Ning as her best friend.

  “Jesus, I am starving! The food on the plane was simply too horrible to even put in my mouth. I want to eat the most authentic sirloin steak served at our restaurant. Waitress! Take my order.”


  She struck the table so hard that the waitress who had followed them in, chuckled. “Alright, boss! All the beef steaks you order today, are on the house!”


  The waitress joked with Zhao Anan as an old friend despite her being the boss.

  Zhao Anan pretended to be furious, “Ha, I haven’t been here for half a year and you have started to give free food to the guests? I will turn you into beef steak tomorrow and serve you on the house.”


  “I am sorry, Boss, but my meat will be human, not as delicious as beef.” The waitress said and sneaked away, controlling her laughter. Another waitress came to serve them in a bit.

  Shangguan Ning chuckled. This waitress was very clever. She knew that she needed to stay away from Zhao Anan for now else she would eat her up instead.

  They were having a good time and Shangguan Ning decided not to ask Zhao Anan about Mu Qing right now.

  But she told herself that she would definitely help her best friend if she had any feelings for him!
