Chapter 1208: Reunion
Chapter 1208: Reunion
Zhang Kaifeng only dared to show his infatuated gaze when Lin Yuqing couldn't see him, deeply imprinting every smile and frown of hers in his mind. However, such observation was very brief. When Lin Yuqing turned her head away, he had to hide all his emotions deep in his eyes and speak with a coldness that even he found unfamiliar.
"Donna has a very good temper, but sometimes she acts like a child and her actions are inevitably a bit childish. I hope you can be more tolerant of her."
Lin Yuqing didn't know how much of the truth Zhang Kaifeng knew that led him to favor Donna, but it was none of her business. She simply asked from a friend's perspective, "Don't worry, I won't take it to heart. By the way, how are your wedding preparations going?"
Zhang Kaifeng really hated Lin Yuqing's indifferent attitude. She could at least pretend to be angry. But this woman's eyes were completely clear; she didn't care at all when he got married or who he married.
A nameless anger suddenly welled up inside him. He looked at Lin Yuqing and said in a hoarse voice, "Lin Yuqing, I'm getting married. Are you satisfied?"
Lin Yuqing was taken aback, frowned, and looked at Zhang Kaifeng, saying, "What do you mean by that? Marriage isn't just your own business; you're responsible to two people, and even two families!"
Zhang Kaifeng didn't want to listen to Lin Yuqing's grand pronouncements, so he turned his head away and sneered, "Hmph, in this marriage, I only need to be responsible for you!"
"Zhang Kaifeng, you..."
Lin Yuqing was furious. Looking at Zhang Kaifeng's cold profile, she suddenly didn't know what to say.
Zhang Kaifeng hadn't expected their reunion to turn out this way. He had originally intended to have a proper talk with Lin Yuqing and end this pointless argument. However, listening to Lin Yuqing's long-winded explanations, Zhang Kaifeng felt a surge of anger, and hurtful words began to spill out one after another.
"Isn't everything that's happening now exactly as you predicted? You wanted someone to take care of me, and Donna was the perfect choice. Now, you can go home without any regrets, and you no longer have to worry about my existence because of guilt!"
Zhang Kaifeng's words made Lin Yuqing feel very wronged. She just wanted to help Zhang Kaifeng find his happiness, so why did it turn out like this?
Looking at Lin Yuqing's reddened eyes, Zhang Kaifeng wanted to slap himself! Was he really the one who had just spoken those cold words to Lin Yuqing? Zhang Kaifeng, the woman before you is the one you most want to protect in this world, so why were you so cruel to her?
Zhang Kaifeng raised his hand, intending to wipe away Lin Yuqing's tears, but as soon as he moved, a voice came from behind him.
"Kaifeng, why didn't you go buy ice cream? Why are you hiding here slacking off instead!"
Hurriedly wiping away her tears, Lin Yuqing smiled and turned to look at Donna, saying, "What a coincidence, I didn't expect to run into you here."
Looking at Lin Yuqing, Donna felt a moment of unease, but quickly masked it with a smile. She walked warmly to Lin Yuqing's side, took her arm, and said, "What a coincidence! I didn't expect to run into you here. Anyone who didn't know the truth would think you'd followed us!"
After saying that, Donna seemed to realize that she had said the wrong thing. She covered her mouth and looked annoyed, saying, "Oh dear, Yuqing, I was just talking nonsense. Please don't mind me."
Judging from Donna's tone and attitude, those who didn't know the truth would think she had accidentally revealed a secret, and would look at Lin Yuqing timidly, afraid that she would get angry.
Although she found the scene before her hilarious, Lin Yuqing couldn't laugh at all. She stood up and said to the two people with different expressions, "I'm sorry to interrupt your date. My children will be born soon, and I need to take them to other places. I'll take my leave now."
With that, Lin Yuqing stopped looking at the two people behind her and walked to the exit of the maze, waiting intently for the two children to appear.
With her lips slightly pouting, Donna looked aggrieved and asked Zhang Kaifeng, "Kaifeng, did I say something wrong that made Yuqing angry?"
Zhang Kaifeng stared intently at Lin Yuqing, using all his strength to keep himself from rushing over and explaining things to her.
Silently averting his gaze, Zhang Kaifeng said dismissively, "No need. Yuqing isn't that petty. Besides, you didn't do it on purpose. She won't take it to heart."
Zhang Kaifeng's words were undoubtedly blaming Donna, which made her clench her fists, filled with resentment. However, she didn't show it, instead appearing regretful, and said, "But we haven't sent her the invitation yet. Have you forgotten? We agreed that when we ran into Yuqing, we would give her the invitation?"
As she spoke, Donna took out a wedding invitation from her bag, as if she wanted to give it to Lin Yuqing as a special gift.
Zhang Kaifeng's eyes stung from the red wedding invitation. He turned his head away in disgust and said, "Didn't you see she's busy right now? Let's talk about it next time. Let's go find the wedding dress designer now, or we'll be late."
As he spoke, Zhang Kaifeng walked ahead, completely ignoring whether Donna was following behind.
Feeling wronged, Donna's eyes welled up with tears. She thought, "This guy saw Lin Yuqing at the entrance of the Starry Sky Park and his legs just followed her in. He even said he'd buy me ice cream, but he secretly met with Lin Yuqing! And now, he's going to get a dress custom-made without a second thought, completely disregarding whether I'm feeling good or not. He doesn't even see me!"
Tragically, even after Donna discovered this problem, she still couldn't help loving Zhang Kaifeng and kept encouraging herself that one day she would make Zhang Kaifeng fall in love with her!
As for everyone else…
Turning to look at Lin Yuqing, who had already waited for her children, Donna's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing decisiveness and ruthlessness.
Having just emerged from the maze, Zhenzhen still looked dazed. She nestled in Lin Yuqing's arms and said, "Mommy, this maze was so difficult! It made me hungry."
Zhenzhen's words instantly brightened Lin Yuqing's previously gloomy mood. She bent down and said with a smile, "Isn't navigating a maze quite mentally taxing? Why aren't you dizzy, but hungry?"
"I get hungry because it's mentally taxing."
Zhenzhen's earnest answer was met with a sneer from Xuan'er, who said, "You've been following behind me the whole time, why have you been using your brain?"
Seeing that Xuan'er had ruthlessly exposed her, Zhenzhen raised her chin and said, "Even if I'm not hungry, Uncle Da Zhong will be hungry. Mommy, let's go find Uncle Da Zhong for lunch!"
