Chapter 19 The miserable mandarin duck
Lin Yi's face was full of shock and he felt scared inside.

The first thing that came to my mind was whether Luo Qinghan had heard what I was talking in my sleep last night.

Luo Qinghan looked at the surprised Lin Yi calmly: "The sister who touched your head and hugged you is me."

"!!!"

Lin Yi was so frightened that his whole body shuddered: What is she going to do?
Shouldn't everyone keep this kind of thing to themselves and pretend nothing happened? Why did she take the initiative to speak it out?

Luo Qinghan thought Lin Yi didn't believe it, so he played last night's recording for Lin Yi to listen to.

However, Luo Qinghan did not say the last two words "good night".

Lin Yi was stunned after hearing this: Oh my God! Everything that happened last night was actually true! I was hugged by this cold woman in front of me! She even patted my head.

"Don't forget what you promised last night. You will listen to me from now on."

"."

Lin Yi didn’t know how to answer: After all, we are husband and wife, how could I have lost my status in the family?
Luo Qinghan woke up the dazed Lin Yi: "Don't be dazed, hang up the towel, and go out for lunch. It's almost twelve o'clock."

"Oh."

Lin Yi hung up the towel and went out with Luo Qinghan.

After getting in the car, Luo Qinghan asked Lin Yi: "Where are we going to eat?"

Lin Yi originally wanted to say it was up to him, but he suddenly thought of what happened to Luo Ye last night, as well as the girl Xia Muyu. He felt it necessary to verify a hypothesis, which might help save this pair of childhood sweethearts.

Lin Yi didn't have any idea about dating, but he couldn't bear to see a ten-year relationship end just because of his parents' stubbornness.

Luo Ye is now somewhat self-destructive. In the eyes of others, he may be a rich young man who is happy every day, but Lin Yi knows that since the day he broke up with Xia Muyu, Luo Ye may have never been truly happy.

"Let's go eat noodles with soybean paste. There's a store that serves noodles with soybean paste that's really good."

After Lin Yi showed Luo Qinghan the address, he drove to the noodle shop.

By the time the two parked the car and walked into the store, it was already past noon and there were not many people in the store.

There was only one uncle still eating noodles, and he was almost finished.

Lin Yi ordered two servings of noodles with soybean paste. Not long after, Xia Muyu brought the noodles just like he did yesterday.

Just as she was about to return, Lin Yi called her: "Your name is Xia Muyu, right?"

Xia Muyu and Luo Qinghan were both stunned for a moment and looked at Lin Yi.

Luo Qinghan even stopped holding the chopsticks, looked up at Xia Muyu, and suddenly felt a sour feeling: This girl is prettier than me?

Lin Yi didn't notice Luo Qinghan's reaction. Xia Muyu nodded slightly after being stunned: "Yeah."

"Are you busy now? You should be able to rest for a while."

Xia Muyu still nodded and said softly: "I'm ready to have lunch too."

After that, the boss in the kitchen called Xia Muyu: "Muyu, your noodles are ready."

"coming."

Xia Muyu entered the kitchen, thanked the boss, and came out with a simple bowl of mixed noodles, wanting to sit down in an empty seat to eat the noodles.

When passing by Lin Yi, Lin Yi stopped her again: "It's too lonely to eat alone, sit with Professor Luo. She is a professor at our Sucheng University and also Luo Ye and I's teacher."

After Lin Yi finished speaking, he looked at Luo Qinghan and wanted her to take the inner seat. As a result, he saw Luo Qinghan staring at him with murderous eyes, as if he wanted to eat him alive.

"."

Lin Yi smiled at Luo Qinghan, and without waiting for him to say anything, the latter moved in to make room for Xia Muyu.

Lin Yi also took a seat inside and continued to sit face to face with Luo Qinghan.

Luo Qinghan looked up at Xia Muyu and invited her to sit over: "Let's eat together, and you can chat."

"Well, hello, Mr. Luo."

Xia Muyu smiled and nodded to Luo Qinghan, then sat down next to her.

The three of them didn't say much until the last uncle in the store finished his meal and left. Then Lin Yi spoke again: "Luo Ye drank a lot of wine on the way back with me last night."

Xia Muyu paused in eating noodles, said nothing, and did not raise his head, and continued to eat the dry noodles.

Lin Yi continued, "He told me with red eyes that the thing he regretted most was that in the summer two years ago, he listened to you and waited for you for a whole day."

Xia Muyu stopped eating noodles, lowered his head and stood still.

After a long time, the girl moved her trembling arms, took out a bracelet from the pocket inside her work clothes, lowered her head and slowly handed it to Lin Yi.

The girl said in a trembling voice: "This was given to me by Luo Ye. Can you help me return it to him?"

Lin Yi didn't take it: "If you want to return it, you should return it to him in person."

The girl did not withdraw her hand. Her voice became more choked. A teardrop slid onto the chopsticks in her right hand and fell into the simple dry noodles. "Can you please do me a favor?"

"I can not."

After she finished speaking, the girl could no longer hold back the tears in her eyes, and they fell: "And tell him I'm sorry for me."

Looking at the crying Xia Muyu and recalling the depressed Luo Ye last night, Lin Yi couldn't help but sigh, what a pair of ill-fated mandarin ducks.

Lin Yi got to the point: "You are probably not married, your so-called husband should be a guy you just found, or some relative of yours."

Xia Muyu raised her head, her eyes red from crying, and looked at Lin Yi in surprise without saying a word.

That surprised look confirmed Lin Yi's guess.

Lin Yi explained to Xia Muyu how he guessed it: "Normally that man is not by your side. Whenever Luo Ye wants to come to you, you always use this as an excuse to reject him. In the next two days, that man will appear again, and then disappear again. The only person who can do this is your brother."

Xia Muyu did not answer, but lowered his head again: "You did this because Luo Ye's parents said something to you, but did you know that Luo Ye had broken up with his parents because of you?"

"I know."

Xia Muyu knew what Lin Yi was saying and answered her own reasons: "I can't be with him. We are not from the same world. My family conditions are even worse than those of ordinary people."

Xia Muyu's voice was still choked, but her words were clear: "If Luo Ye really marries me, his parents will cut off all ties with him. He has always lived a privileged life, and he can't live a hard life because of me."

Xia Muyu wanted to continue talking, but Lin Yi interrupted her: "Have you asked Luo Ye if he is willing to suffer with you?"

Xia Muyu shook her head: "If I ask him, he will definitely be willing, but he has never experienced my life, so he won't understand how hard it is."

"Since he has never experienced it, how do you know he can't handle it?"

Xia Muyu was stunned.
