Chapter 411 Childhood Sweetheart 18
Zhao Ying rolls her eyes at him, but then turns to Wang Cailian and immediately shows her a sweet smile, “Godmother, I am not angry. Why are you angry? Xiaopang is just like that. I have been used to the fact that he didn’t take time to think or calculate since childhood.”
“Why didn’t you remind him?” Wang Cailian wipes few drops of tears, “If you reminded him, he would remember.”
Zhao Ying blinks, “I just want to see how long he will keep being stupid!”
“Chen Jinjin.” Wang Cailian turns to stare at her son, “Didn’t you remember it just now?”
Chen Xiaopang is staring at Zhao Ying with a serious expression at the moment. When Zhao Ying smiled at his mother just now, something suddenly revived in his mind like an explosion.
As if all his memories came back at once. He remembers the sweet smile, which used to appear on his favorite face in his childhood. But when did he lose the happy memory on earth?
“Chen Jinjin?” Wang Cailian sees that her stupid son is still in a daze, so she throws a pillow over him and says, “Don’t expect me to cook you a midnight snack when you are hungry at night!”
Chen Xiaopang comes to his sense. He glances at Zhao Ying with a complex look, and then cheekily comes in front of Wang Cailian to act shamelessly, “Mom, I was wrong, I really know that I was wrong! In order to compensate, I have decided to be Ying’s private driver from tomorrow on, not only to take her to and from work, but also to be on call!”
“Will you be so nice?” Wang Cailian doesn’t believe him, “Isn’t it because I scolded you today that you want to bully Ying later secretly?”
“Mom.” Chen Xiaopang says weakly, “I never bully women.”
Wang Cailian thinks about it and has to admit that it is true.
“But you can’t compare Ying with your girlfriends! They…”
“Mom! Mom!” Chen Xiaopang hurriedly interrupts his mother, “Those women are not my girlfriends. I have never had a girlfriend.”
Wang Cailian ignores him and turns to Zhao Ying again to say, “Look at him. He’s almost thirty years old, but has been fooling around outside all day instead of having a girlfriend obediently. I’m planning to arrange a blind date for him. Ying, please help me suggest some later.”
“OK, Godmother.” Zhao Ying glances at Chen Xiaopang casually and says, “I will help you with your reference, and try to get him married this year. Then you can have your grandson next year!”
Chen Xiaopang feels nervous at that glance, and his mother still laughs aside and takes out her mobile phone to show Zhao Ying pictures of the girls.
Whoops… Chen Xiaopang sighs silently. He has never seen such a mother who likes to trap her own son like this. Is this really his blood mother? But on second thoughts, why did Zhao Ying recognize his mother as her godmother then? Now she is his sister. How can he tell his mother that the person he likes is just Zhao Ying?
“I didn’t expect Ying to grow up like this.” In the evening, Chen Xiaopang sends Zhao Ying away. Wang Cailian chatters as soon as he returns, “She was soft and adorable in her childhood. I thought she would be the same when she grew up.”
“I didn’t expect her to be so…”
She didn’t expect Ying to grow into an Overlord Flower!!
Chen Xiaopang is anxious. He just sent Zhao Ying back. She ignored him all the way, and finally said when she got out of the car.
“I won’t take it seriously what you said to your mother that you were going to pick me up to and from work. You don’t need to, just regarding it as coaxing your mother.”
As soon as Chen Xiaopang heard it, he objected, “But how can I? A promise cannot be taken back once it is made! I said I would be your driver until I sleep… No! I mean I would be on call, and I must…”
“But I don’t want to see you.” Zhao Ying looks at him coldly, “Moreover, there has been more than one thing for you to break your promise, so it won’t matter if there is another.”
After speaking, she turns and leaves, and Chen Xiaopang opens the car door to catch up, “Ying, Ying! Let’s talk about it, shall we?”
“Sorry.” Zhao Ying turns her head and glances at him, “I have no time or mood to talk to you. Besides, in the future, except for work, please don’t meet me.”
“Even if I don’t bother you, my mother will meet you!” Chen Xiaopang shouts, “You know that she likes you very much, just… Just like me… I like you, too!”
Zhao Ying is about to leave but pauses, and then seems to sneer and continues to go away without looking back. Chen Xiaopang is left alone with a chill creeping over. Though it is warm in April, he seems to be in an ice cave.
He stands there blankly for a long time before he shuffles back to the car.
“Xiaopang?” Wang Cailian says for a long time but sees her son in a daze, so she stretches out her hand to wave in front of Chen Xiaopang’s face and says, “Why are you in a daze?”
Chen Xiaopang lets out a cry, “Oh, no, Mom, what did you just say?”
“I ask you whether Ying has a boyfriend.” Wang Cailian keeps her one-way speaking and she does not find that Chen Xiaopang’s face darkens.
“No, absolutely not!” Chen Xiaopang shouts nervously.
Wang Cailian is startled, “Why are you so excited?”
“What? I am not excited!” Chen Xiaopang smiles embarrassingly, “I just follow up your saying.”
It is unknown what comes to Wang Cailian’s mind. She suddenly glances at him, “You say, it is better if you have been in contact with Ying since then! When you were young, you shouted that you were going to marry her to be your wife, and you asked her to swear to marry you in front of Big Yellow.”
“…” Chen Xiaopang seems to be hit by a thunder and grabs his mother’s arm, “Mom, what did you just say?”
Wang Cailian looks at him strangely and answers, “Did you forget it? When Big Yellow died, you were sad for several days. Ying went to comfort you, and you said that she would be your wife after growing up, and pulled her to the place where Big Yellow had been buried in the garden to make a pinkie promise.”
“According to my view, fortunately, Ying doesn’t like you now, for you don’t deserve her. I’m going to ask her if she has a boyfriend later. If not, I will introduce a good one to her…”
Chen Xiaopang can’t hear what his mother is talking about, and his mind is full of the promise that she would be his wife in the future.
That was when Big Yellow just died. Big Yellow came to the Chen Family’s house but died within two years because of an inherited genetic disease. Chen Xiaopang was very sad. At that time, Zhao Ying was just learning to make dessert, so she made a pudding to comfort him.
Then…
“Then you shamelessly asked her to be your wife?” Tang Cao is called out to be a listener that day, and he hears Xiaopang on the opposite regret his past mistakes.
Chen Xiaopang says desperately, “So, she promised me then, and she always remembered it. But I…”
“You went to bed with another woman and let her hear the voice over the phone.” Tang Cao shakes his head, “To be honest, even I think you are a scum, which is the damn kind.”
“I know, I know!” Chen Xiaopang is about to cry, “I know I am a bastard. I should go to the hell. But what should I do now? Even if Ying really doesn’t forgive me, I can’t watch her go on like this.”
Tang Cao asks strangely, “What do you mean by going on like this? She is leading a good life now, okay? Yesterday I saw a magazine boasting that she was a beauty lawyer.”
“But do you know that she’s still going to the bar every day to get drunk and have a one-night stand with different strange men?” Chen Xiaopang holds his head and shows an unacceptable look.
“Don’t you do that too?” Tang Cao feels even stranger, “Your lifestyles seem to be the same on this point now.”
Chen Xiaopang grabs Tong Yue who is watching the documents beside him, “Tong Yue! You give me an idea. What should I do? What can I do to make Ying treat herself well?”
“…” Tang Cao rolls his eyes, “Actually… I think you still have a chance. She knows you’re here but come back to work here. Doesn’t she obviously want to see you?”
If a woman really does not want to see a man, it is impossible for the man to find her.
Chen Xiaopang looks at Tong Yue with a look of hope. Tong Yue takes off his glasses and says, “It is better that you try to change yourself first. You have to give up evil and return to good, and you will be qualified to criticize her.”
“I haven’t fooled around with other women for a long time…” Chen Xiaopang is telling the truth.
Ever since he fell in love with Zhao Ying at first sight, he has stayed away from other women and controlled his desire. If he doesn’t fall in love with her, he won’t feel guilty to fool around. But now that he loves a woman, he won’t touch other women.
But now he knows that it doesn’t matter if he touches other women or not. What Zhao Ying cares about are his past, and the young childhood sweetheart agreement.
“I have decided!” Chen Xiaopang suddenly stands up and says, “No matter how she treats me, I will not give up! I will not give up even ten or twenty years passes. I must let her forgive me.”
Tang Cao and Tong Yue raise their eyebrows at the same time, probably not having expected that Chen Xiaopang will be so affectionate to Zhao Ying.
Thinking of something, Tang Cao suddenly laughs and says, “If you really have to use ten or twenty years, then I am afraid that the women you’ve been fooling around these years are saved for the abstinence of the rest of your life.”
“To congratulate you on your turning over a new leaf, I will treat you for the meal today.” Tong Yue touches the table and says, “For the sake of your being serious once in a blue moon, I will tell you another Zhao Ying’s secret.”
Chen Xiaopang’s eyes widen, “How do you know Ying’s secret? Did you investigate her?”
“Because she investigated you first.” Tong Yue glances at him, “She even went to your blind date deliberately. Didn’t you find it strange? Your mother asked you to go on a blind date. If it was Zhao Ying, couldn’t she know it?”
Tang Cao and Chen Xiaopang take a deep breath together. Right! They’ve forgotten this!
“Because she went by herself. It wasn’t her who should have dated you.” Tong Yue continues saying, “She happened to have a client who had known the woman and knew that the woman would not go that day, so she took the place of the woman to meet you. It was a pity…”
“It was a pity that I didn’t recognize her at all…” Chen Xiaopang is frustrated first, and then laughs and screams like a neuropath, “Sure enough, she still likes me. Otherwise why did she have a blind date?”
Tong Yue pours cold water on him, “She may have liked you before, but now…”
“…” Chen Xiaopang becomes listless, “But didn’t she go to my house? It was clear that she wanted to tell me who she was. Ahhh… What should I do now? What does she think on earth?”
Tang Cao is about to say something but closes his mouth under Tong Yue’s hint.
“Then you have to ask her.” Tong Yue checks time on the mobile phone, “I’m going to pick up Tian. As for you… Conduct yourself well. By the way, let me give you an idea. Since Auntie likes her, and she doesn’t reject Auntie either, so start with Auntie.”
When Chen Xiaopang comes home, he thinks about how to start with her mother. After thinking, finally he simply confesses.
“What did you say? You love Ying?”
