Chapter 224: Chapter 217 I Don’t Know You

Xu Miaomiao also bought a lot, and all those things were carried by Chen Lidong who was trailing behind.

Chen Lidong was so upset, he actually had things he wanted to buy, too.

By the time they had almost finished shopping on this street, it was around nine o’clock in the evening, and the vendors were about to close their stalls.

As they walked back along Water Street, they found that Aunt Xu had come and prepared some food, which she had brought in insulated containers.

The inn was quite close to Aunt Xu’s house, just a short walk away.

“Auntie, you’re the best!” Miaomiao hugged Aunt Xu’s arm and acted like a little girl, all spoiled and sweet.

Aunt Xu poked Miaomiao’s cheek with her finger and said, “You’re so sweet. No wonder your father sent you here, you must have sweet-talked him a lot, didn’t you?”

“That’s right,” Miaomiao thought about her frugal father and felt like crying. “Auntie, you have no idea how stingy my dad is. He doesn’t allow this, and he doesn’t allow that. If I hadn’t promised him that I could pass the high school entrance exam, he wouldn’t have let me come here.”

“What if you don’t pass? The results haven’t come out yet, have they?”

Aunt Xu asked her niece seriously.

Miaomiao gritted her teeth and put on a brave face, “Then I’d be in deep trouble.” Sobbed Miaomiao, she really didn’t want that to happen.

Aunt Xu couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the same time, thinking that her niece had grown into a young lady, but her personality had not changed since she was a child, she was still like a child.

When would this child grow up?

Aunt Xu put down the lunch box and went home. The three of them ate some food. They were quite tired from walking around, so they each went back to their own rooms to rest. Tang Yuxin sat on the small bed in the inn, looking over the purchases she had made, and each item delighted her immensely.

“Let’s sleep,” Xu Miaomiao was too tired to keep her eyes open, “I don’t know what’s so great about these things? You’ve been looking at them for so long, aren’t you tired?”

“I’m good,” Tang Yuxin was still somewhat spirited, but soon enough, she yawned. Yup, she’s out of energy. Time for bed.

Tang Yuxin lay down, probably due to exhaustion, considering they’d just got off the train and had been walking around outside for a long time. Mentally exhausted and physically relaxed.

Either way, it was more than enough to allow her to sleep soundly.

When they woke up the next day, it was already more than ten in the morning, then following the pre-arranged route, they went to Water City for fun. The weather was pretty good, at least good enough to swim.

But except for Tang Yuxin, the other two were not good swimmers, so they hadn’t thought about swimming.

“Let’s play over there,” Xu Miaomiao pointed to a water park and then screamed and ran towards it. Chen Lidong felt that accompanying Xu Miaomiao for shopping was indeed exhausting.

Moreover, he sneaked a look around and saw many people covering their mouths and laughing, making him feel like a monkey on display.

He didn’t want to go there, but he glanced at Tang Yuxin behind him helplessly.

“Could you talk some sense into her, so she doesn’t embarrass us by shouting all the time?”

“I don’t know you,” Tang Yuxin continued to walk forward. Chen Lidong twitched his mouth. He was really tempted to strangle her in his heart.

This is simply a woman with all kinds of darkness in her heart, and a horrible face. Anyone who marries her in the future will definitely suffer.

“Are you thinking about who will be unlucky enough to marry me in the future?” Tang Yuxin could tell what Chen Lidong was thinking just from his expression.

“No, no…That’s not it, honestly,” Chen Lidong laughed awkwardly. There was no way he would admit it. Besides, how did she figure it out just by looking at his eyes?

“Let’s move on before we lose Miaomiao.”

Tang Yuxin never thought they would lose Miaomiao. Even if they lost both of them, Miaomiao would not get lost. Miaomiao had lived here for a while when she was young and she was, in a way, a half native of Water City. She remembered the telephone number of the inn, and she was not a child anymore. There was no way she would lose herself.

“Okay,” Chen Lidong shrugged and followed. Tang Yuxin also quickened her pace. Although she claimed “I don’t know you,” when necessary, she would keep an eye on these two.

After all, she’s much older than both of them, so there were many times when she couldn’t change her mindset and still thought she was the Tang Yuxin from her previous life.

So now she has a headache, wondering what kind of man she should find so she doesn’t feel like she’s married a younger brother or her own son.

And she knows that no matter what, in the future, she will definitely get married and have children. This is a path that every woman must walk, and the Tang family won’t allow her to remain unmarried or choose to be child free.

No matter how much her second uncle indulges Sisi, she knows in her heart that Sisi is not his biological daughter, hence not a legitimate heir of the Tang family, nor will father ever remarry. Therefore, the only person who can carry on the bloodline of the Tang family is her.

If she really dared to say that did not want to get married or have children,

Terrible consequences would ensue, even she herself would be disgusted with her own decision.

In her previous life, she let down her father and the Tang family. Regardless of anything, in this life, she has to take the right path, the path that every woman has been taking for thousands of years.

At this moment, the sunlight above her head suddenly became a bit dazzling. She put her hand under her eyes and saw the clear river water in the distance. Occasionally reflected ripples, appeared as stars in the sky.

Actually, it’s not that hard to accept.

Just like she accepted her current time.

With such breathtaking natural beauty, how could one not feel joyful and lose oneself in these mountains and rivers?

Enjoy a cup of tea and contemplate about the wind, flowers, and the moon.

A pot of clear tea and a streak of yearning in the heart.

She squinted her eyes, and suddenly, as if the light in front of her had stabbed her, she turned her head and it seemed like someone was staring at her like a beast, with a certain message, a certain calculation, that made her uncomfortable.

She took a step forward, getting a bit closer to Miaomiao and Chen Lidong. By nature, she had a good sense of intuition, and she now had an indescribable feeling of unease.

Even when they went back to the inn to rest, she still felt a bit uneasy.

When they passed by a centuries-old herbal medicine shop, she thought for a bit and decided to go in.
