Chapter 1199: In Trouble
Chapter 1199: In Trouble
Yu Wei frowned, clearly unwilling, and complained, "What kind of nonsense did you learn when you were studying Chinese? You didn't learn anything serious!"
……
Although Yu Wei had warned Lin Yuqing, she did not intend to take any action and continued to live her ordinary life. She was also happy that she had not received a call from Donna for a while.
But peaceful days are always short-lived. After a week of quiet, Donna called Lin Yuqing again.
Lin Yuqing didn't want to chat with Donna. She looked around, wondering what excuse she would use to brush off this sentimental young lady.
"Yuqing, Zhang Kaifeng... proposed to me!"
Lin Yuqing was stunned for a moment, thinking she had misheard, and asked, "What did you just say?"
"Kaifeng proposed to me!! Yuqing, aren't you happy for me?"
Honestly, Lin Yuqing didn't know whether this was good news or bad news. She knew Zhang Kaifeng; it was impossible for him to fall in love with someone so quickly and be willing to walk down the aisle with her.
Recalling Zhang Kaifeng's words that he would marry Tang Na to make her "satisfied," Lin Yuqing felt even more uneasy about the outcome.
On the other end of the phone, seeing Lin Yuqing so quiet, Donna couldn't help but ask, "Yuqing, are you listening to me?"
Quickly snapping out of her daze, Lin Yuqing smiled and said, "I'm listening. Well then... congratulations!"
“But I always feel like something’s not quite right,” Donna said in a low, dejected voice. “My relationship with Kaifeng is progressing too fast. I don’t even know him well enough, and we’re already getting married. It’s unbelievable.”
"Then tell Kaifeng to discuss marriage later, and let you two get to know each other first."
Donna quickly shook her head and said, "No, I'm afraid my hesitation will make Kaifeng angry."
Hearing this, Lin Yuqing patiently explained to her, "If Kaifeng really likes you, he won't care about waiting a little longer. I think you should still have a good talk with Kaifeng."
Lin Yuqing's words caused Donna's eyes to darken. After a long while, she said, "You mean, I'm not the person Kaifeng likes the most, is that right?"
"No, no, that's not what I meant," Lin Yuqing explained, afraid that the other party would misunderstand her. "You yourself said that you don't know Kaifeng well enough. I'm just considering things from your perspective. Marriage is not a game, so it's never wrong to think it over."
With a slight upturn of her lips, Donna's voice was full of sarcasm and mockery as she said, "My hesitation would only give others an opportunity. I'm not that stupid!"
Donna's words stunned Lin Yuqing. She could clearly feel Donna's hostility, and recalling Yu Wei's warning to her, she decided not to say anything more and simply said, "Then do as you wish. After all, I don't know the specific situation of your development, so I can't give you specific advice."
"But you know Zhang Kaifeng. Do you think he really wants to marry me?"
If Lin Yuqing had told the truth, who knows what nonsense this woman would have spouted. So Lin Yuqing spoke gently, saying, "I haven't been in contact with Kaifeng for a long time. How would I know what he's thinking?"
Donna suddenly raised her voice, her tone sharp, and said, "Are you just trying to brush me off?"
Donna's words became increasingly offensive. Even with Lin Yuqing's good temper, she couldn't tolerate Donna's aggressive behavior. With a stern face, she said, "Ms. Donna, if talking to you on the phone is just a way of brushing you off, wouldn't it be better for me to spend more time with my child? Or, we can end this call to avoid wasting each other's time!"
Seeing that Lin Yuqing was about to hang up, Donna quickly softened her voice, looking flustered, and said, "Yuqing, are you angry? I'm sorry, it was my fault just now. I was just feeling anxious because of Kaifeng's proposal, which is why I was so irritable. I hope you can understand me."
Donna's unpredictable mood swings were really hard to handle. Lin Yuqing didn't want to waste any more time with her and had no intention of forgiving her. She said, "Brides are often like this before marriage. It's okay. Let your family spend more time with you and cheer you up. After all, this is a happy occasion, isn't it?"
"Then... could you come to my wedding?"
“If there’s enough time, I’d be happy to.” Lin Yuqing’s patience had reached its limit, and she said politely, “If there’s nothing else, I have to hang up now, because my children are waiting for me. I’m sorry.”
"Okay, then you go ahead and get busy. But Kaifeng and I will be having a baby soon, and it will definitely be a beautiful scene when both families bring their children to play together!"
After saying that, Donna hung up the phone without even saying goodbye, leaving Lin Yuqing both annoyed and amused.
This woman is so contradictory! One minute she's suspicious, the next she's full of hope for the future.
But what is Zhang Kaifeng really thinking? Does he really want to marry Tang Na?
"What are you thinking about?"
Suddenly, a pair of arms reached out from behind and wrapped tightly around Lin Yuqing's waist, startling her.
Turning around, Lin Yuqing clutched her chest and glared at Xiao Mingyang reproachfully, saying, "You rascal, how come you walk without making a sound!"
"Wasn't it because you were too focused on your thoughts?" Xiao Mingyang turned Lin Yuqing around, first placing a kiss on her forehead, then deliberately feigning nonchalance as he asked, "You still haven't told me who you were talking to on the phone just now."
"It's someone you know, Donna."
"Donna?"
Seeing that Xiao Mingyang had completely forgotten about this minor character, Lin Yuqing explained, "Donna is the young lady we're going to introduce to Mark, do you remember her?"
When Lin Yuqing mentioned it, Xiao Mingyang immediately thought of that girl with the gentle eyes. He was surprised that she would call Yuqing, so he asked, "Have you been in contact all this time?"
Lin Yuqing nodded and said, "Yes, she just called and said she's going to marry Kaifeng. Isn't that amazing?"
Looking at Lin Yuqing with a flicker in his eyes, Xiao Mingyang asked, "You seem to really not want the two of them to get together."
“It’s not that I don’t want them to get together, but I feel that this matter… is strange,” Lin Yuqing looked up at Xiao Mingyang and asked, “I’m afraid that Kaifeng will be too impulsive and hurt himself, and also delay the girl’s happiness.”
Xiao Mingyang didn't like Lin Yuqing worrying about other people's affairs, so he pulled her into his arms and said in a muffled voice, "Whether it's a blessing or a curse, he has to bear it himself. After all, Zhang Kaifeng chose this path himself. You shouldn't worry about it. You know what kind of person Zhang Kaifeng is. Since he made his decision, he must have his reasons. Just let him be."
