Destined Wife: The Apple of My Eye

Chapter 43



Chapter 43 Blind date

This summer will soon pass, and the National Day arrives in the blink of an eye when Gungun has been discharged from the hospital for more than a month. He grows a little bigger than the previous four months, but because of the accident, he is not as white and fat as before.

Gungun, almost seven months old, enjoys communicating with others very much. Of course, few people except Yan Hua can understand him.

“What does he want?” Lang Hongyue looks at the toy car in her hand. “Doesn’t he like this?”

Gungun stretches his hand towards Yan Hua beside him, babbling something.

“He wants me to hold him,” Yan Hua walks by Lang Hongyue and picks up her son. “Gungun, don’t you want a toy car?”

Gungun reaches out his hand to Lang Hongyue, crowing.

“Oh, Gungun wants me to hold him…” Before she can finish her words, she sees that Gungun takes the toy car from her hand, and then nestles against Yan Hua’s breast.

Lang Hongyue’s face darkens: “He is a boy and you are spoiling him if you cradle him every day.”

“I don’t cradle him every day,” Yan Hua looks at her. “The daily life of Gungun is arranged by Grandpa.”

Lang Hongyue is stuck for words.

Well, Lang Cha has found an early childhood education institution by himself since Gungun recovers. At the beginning, Yan Hua is worried that it will do harm to Gungun by overscheduling his live, but in fact all the education for Gungun is particularly suitable.

“Let’s move to another subject.” Lang Hongyue lifts her chin: “Sit there, I have something to tell you.”

Yan Hua sits down with no expression. Since she knows that Lang Hongyue wants to turn Gungun into a fool, she regards this woman as the biggest enemy and the first person she needs to guard against in this family.

“Come out with me tomorrow to meet a friend.” Lang Hongyue looks her up and down, wanting to say that she should dress herself up. But she sinks into silence when she sees Yan Hua’s face. Women will be jealous of her beauty even if she does not dress up.

“What kind of friends are you going to visit?” Yan Hua asks: “Why do you come along with me?”

Lang Hongyue glares at her: “How can there be so many reasons? They are my friends in business. Well, I take you to see the world, and you are reluctant to this?”

“I’m afraid I don’t have time. Gungun refuses to accept strangers now and may cry if he doesn’t see me.” Yan Hua fondles Gungun who is playing with the toy car in her arms.

Gungun looks up and gives his mother a cute smile.

“He likes his great-grandpa as well,” Lang Hongyue says indifferently. “Besides, he usually falls into sleep in the afternoon and you will be at home when he wakes up.”

Yan Hua frowns, trying to say something. Lang Hongyue smiles and says: “I have told my dad and he agreed. Don’t cop it out anymore.”

“Okay,” Yan Hua has to make a compromise. She deliberately shows herself to Lang Cha the next day before she sets out. Lang Cha tells her that she can have fun and do not need to worry about Gungun because he will take good care of him.

Lang Hongyue takes a call on the way, through which Yan Hua hears that she will go to the beauty salon later. Yan Hua feels that something is wrong.

“Aren’t we going to the coffee house?” Why it changes into the beauty salon…

Lang Hongyue smiles, saying: “We will go to the cafe first.”

Yan Hua’s heart skips a beat, feeling that her smile is weird. When they arrive at the destination, there are already two persons waiting in the private room.

“This is Mrs. Huang. Her family is engaged in shipping business,” Lang Hongyue introduces her to Yan Hua very warmly.

Mrs. Huang wears a suit of haute couture clothes, studying Yan Hua thoroughly and looking at the young man next to her at the same time.

The man gazes at Yan Hua all the time since she comes in. Yan Hua frowns, but still shakes hands with Mrs. Huang politely.

“Hello.”

Mrs. Huang laughs happily: “Sit down!”

There is a kind of contempt in her eyes. Although she tries to hide it, Yan Hua still perceives it.

“Hello, Miss Yan!” The man pours a cup of tea attentively to Yan Hua: “My name is Huang Li. I am very happy that you are willing to come here today.”

Seeing that Yan Hua is indifferent, Mrs. Huang says with a dissatisfied voice: “This is my son. He has just returned from studying overseas. He will enter and help our company later.”

“Hua, I think that you may not know who he is,” Lang Hongyue continues. “This is Mrs. Huang’s second son. He is a well-known… How to say? Oh! Straight-A student in our social circle!”

If Yan Hua still doesn’t know what they want to do, then she is completely blind. This is clearly a blind date… She casts a glance at Lang Hongyue who is talking brilliantly.

“What’s up?” Lang Hongyue obviously knows that she now understands the purpose of this appointment. But so what? Yan Hua has nothing to do but sit here as she wishes.

She gives a hint to Mrs. Huang, and both of them stand up.

“Ah Li, have a chat with Miss Yan. I will go to the beauty salon upstairs with Hongyue. I will call you when I am finished!”

After saying that, they just walk away without a backward glance.

After closing the door, Huang Li sees that Yan Hua is still with a faint expression, so he sits down on the opposite side of Yan Hua, uneasy and awkward.

“Well… Don’t you know that you are coming to see me?”

“I don’t know,” Yan Hua tells the truth. “And do you know that your date is a widow?”

Huang Li’s face changes slightly: “Miss Yan, please don’t describe you like this. I am very sincere.”

He accidentally met Yan Hua once six months ago, and her image haunts in his mind since he went home. His family originally did not agree, after all, she is a woman who has given birth to a child.

However, he insisted that he would not have a blind date with anyone except Yan Hua. Under this situation, Mrs. Huang has no choice, so she tries to mention this with Lang Hongyue.

“Ms. Lang says that although you live in Lang Family, you are completely free. If you want, you can go back to see the child often after we get married. I don’t mind.”

Yan Hua is a little amused: “You don’t even know me, and you want to marry me?”

“We just don’t have a talk, but I already knew you quite some ago. I like you, so I hope that you can marry me!” Huang Li looks at her with deep affection.

“I’m Sorry, but I don’t plan to get married,” Yan Hua refuses him without any hesitation. “I won’t be separated from my son. Mr. Huang, I think you don’t have to waste time on me.”

Quite disappointed and unwilling to give up, Huang Li tries to persuade her: “You don’t have feeling for me now, but it doesn’t mean that you will not have it in the future. We can get married and develop our relationship slowly.”

.”..” Yan Hua can’t keep up with his thought.

“Listen to me.” In a little bit anxious, Huang Li even wants to hold Yan Hua’s hand.

Seeing that Yan Hua avoids it, Huang Li quickly apologizes: “I have no intention of offending you, but it seems that Ms. Lang wants to marry you off eagerly so as to make you leave Lang Family.”

Yan Hua is shocked: “You…”

“When she told my mother about it, I just passed by and overheard it,” Huang Li says seriously. “Although I am not as rich as Lang Family, I promise, I will be good to you.”

“You can take the initiative to marry me instead of letting they arrange your life and marry you to a rich second generation. At least in this circle, I am definitely not a bad person, and I never have an affair with other women outside.”

Huang Li thinks that he is saving Yan Hua. After all, everyone knows her situation in Lang Family. Marrying him is the best choice for Yan Hua, and that’s why he takes the initiative to have a blind date.

“Thank you,” Yan Hua smiles. She can see that the man really wants to help her.

But why should she get married? Why should she be separated from Gungun? Since Lang Hongyue took her into Lang Family, she could whistle for her leaving away now.

Unless… let her and her son leave together. That’s exactly what she wants.

“I mean, it is impossible for me to leave my son and I won’t get married,” Yan Hua stands up. “Sorry, I think it would be a waste of time to talk about it again. I will go first.”

Huang Li stops her at the door: “Miss Yan, you can think about what I have said. I am always here for you to change your mind.”

He puts a business card into Yan Hua’s bag as he says, opening the door: “Goodbye! I am waiting for your good news.”

“I am afraid that you will be disappointed.” Yan Hua shrugs her shoulders and leaves the cafe.

She does not go to the parking lot to find the driver, but takes a taxi and directly goes to Lang Family. When she arrives, Gungun is still asleep with his small body lying between the sheets and his curly hair quivering as he breathes.

“Hee-hee.” Yan Hua can’t help laughing out, fondling her son’s little bottom, and gets up to change clothes.

When passing by the French windows, she catches sight of someone moving things to the car. She knows that person. He is the driver of Lang Ruoxian.

Shortly after Gungun is discharged from the hospital, Lang Ruoxian went abroad for a business trip and moved out of Lang Family. As counted, she has not seen him for two months. What the driver moves…

Lang Hongyue enters the living room with anger. Lang Cha wonders: “Um, Why do you come back alone?”

“Master, Madam Hua has already come back in the afternoon, and you were having a noon nap at that time!” Uncle Lee says.

Lang Cha nods, asking Lang Hongyue: “Who are you angry with?”

“Who else?” Lang Hongyue sits down. “I take her out with good intention, but what’s the result? She leaves me alone and just goes away.”

Lang Cha frowns: “Is the person you arrange inappropriate?”

“The second young master of Huang Family. You met him last year and praised his maturity.” Lang Hongyue snorts: “Where to find a man with such good conditions? How can she be dissatisfied?”

Lang Cha signs: “I was fine with your proposal when you said that Yan Hua might be lumbered with Gungun and that she should remarry. After all, she is still young and we can take care of Gungun.”

“Yes! I…”

Lang Cha interrupts her: “But you can’t push her. It’s the best result if Yan Hua feels the date is appropriate. There’s no point in putting yourself in a hurry.”

“I know,” Lang Hongyue’s eyeballs roll. “Don’t worry! I will introduce a few more people to her. I don’t believe that she cannot select a man suitable for her in the whole G City!”

With the acquiescence of Lang Cha, Lang Hongyue begins to arrange blind dates for Yan Hua one after another. Yan Hua can’t refuse her and can only be taken out at intervals.

However, each time she will make an excuse to leave in a few minutes after the date begins. Lang Hongyue cannot tie Yan Hua with her. Stormed with anger and anxiety, she suddenly receives a call from He Mingkai, who plans to meet her.

“Ms. Lang.” They meet in a tea room. He Mingkai is very polite and his attitude is to some extent assiduous.

Lang Hongyue knows something inwardly when she sees his attitude.

“Are you coming for Yan Hua?”

“Yes!” He Mingkai does not hide it. He says directly: “I hear that you have been arranging blind dates for her recently. Is Lang Family really willing to let her go?”

“Why not?” Lang Hongyue asks. “It’s her son who is related to Lang Family, not her.”

He Mingkai adjusts his glasses, his eyes shining: “Then… Please return her to me!
