The Art of Pursuing: The Unyielding Ex-wife-Chapter 336: The Important Thing is That the Loved One is Still by Your Side
"Mrs. Jiang, hello." The two politely greeted Mrs. Jiang.
Mrs. Jiang nodded, looking lovingly at the impeccably made-up face of Munni before saying with a touch of sadness,
"Your mother once boasted to me, in a moment of drunkenness, about having a very pretty daughter. Since she had never mentioned a daughter before, I thought she was just talking nonsense in her tipsy state.
Later, she frequently told me that the biggest regret of her life was abandoning her daughter, ignoring her completely.
Munni, you truly are as beautiful as your mother described. If I had a daughter as outstanding and gorgeous as you, I would be as proud of her as she was."
In life, it is not only between lovers that we learn to cherish only after losing; it is the same for family.
When Zhao Yaru abandoned Qin Muni and her destitute ex-husband in pursuit of the material life she craved, she certainly didn’t anticipate that she would regret it one day.
And when she did eventually regret it, it was too late. Her life had almost come to an end, leaving her too frail to even fly back and see Qin Muni.
In family life, many children only regret not spending more time with their loved ones when their parents are critically ill or have passed away.
Zhao Yaru’s funeral finished after two in the afternoon. Zhang Chufeng invited Qin Muni and Xu Yisen to dine at a Western restaurant; when they returned to the hotel, it was already five in the afternoon.
Both Qin Muni and Xu Yisen had gotten caught in the rain, and upon returning to the hotel, they went to take a hot shower.
After washing up and blow-drying her hair, Qin Muni habitually picked up the phone she had tossed aside on the bed, noticing a message Xu Yisen sent ten minutes ago... [I’m at your door.]
She walked with her phone to the door, looked through the peephole, and saw Xu Yisen standing outside with something in his hand.
She hurriedly opened the door and asked, "Have you been waiting long?"
Xu Yisen shook his head and smiled, "Not long."
After he spoke, he slightly raised the brown paper bag in his hand and smiled, "I bought some wine and snacks. Wanna have a drink together?"
"Come in."
Qin Muni leaned slightly to the side, inviting him in.
There were two armchairs placed by the window in Qin Muni’s room, with a round table in between.
Xu Yisen placed the fruit platter, snacks, and a bottle of red wine on the round table.
Qin Muni went to the living room to fetch two wine glasses and a bottle opener, then sat on the armchair next to Xu Yisen upon returning to the room.
With practiced ease, Xu Yisen opened the wine, pulled out the cork, and poured some into their glasses, saying in a relaxed tone, "A rainy day is perfect for sitting by the window, watching the rain while sipping wine."
Qin Muni curled her lips, picked up the wine glass, and gently swirled it, letting the fragrant aroma of the wine diffuse into the air.
She raised her chin slightly and took a sip of wine, just as Xu Yisen began speaking again, "The important thing is having someone you love beside you."
Qin Muni replied with amusement, "You’ve really changed after the divorce."
"Changed how?"
"Lost your dignity."
"If losing dignity can bring back the wife, then it’s worth it."
Qin Muni pouted and added, "Also, you’ve become quite unruly."
Xu Yisen speared a piece of mango and brought it to Munni’s mouth, teasingly saying, "I can be even more unruly, actually."
Qin Muni opened her mouth to eat the mango he offered, chewing and mumbling, "If you keep being unreliable, I’ll have to report you to Aunt Bai."
