Chapter 1139 - Are you still looking for her?
Mu Heng stared at the family of four looking blissful in the picture and was dumbfounded.
He initially reckoned that the woman he had fallen in love with at first sight was merely lying to him.
That was because she appeared, at most, to be in her twenties and did not look like someone who already had two children.
“Do you see this? These are my children and my husband.”
Her lips curled up as she swept her gaze over his slack-jawed face.
“Th-These are your children?”
Upon seeing the pair of doll-like boy and girl, he was flabbergasted.
The man lightly peered at him, whose face had a ‘my heart has been broken; my sky is falling’ look, and took a seat on the sofa quite a distance away.
To this slight disdain his best friend displayed, he only felt his heart turn even bitter.
“You’re being too much. So much for being good brothers! Your good brother here just had his heart broken today. Don’t you know to console me a little?”
He put down his glass and turned to shoot his best friend a wronged and aggrieved look.
“I got my heart broken,” he re-emphasized.
Who knew that the response he would get was—
“Mhm.”
A light hum.
“…Hey! Couldn’t you at least ask me how I got my heart broken?” he unhappily muttered.
“Oh.”
The man slightly nodded. Reaching out his well-defined hand, he took out the blue mountain coffee placed below the table and gracefully brewed himself a cup of it.
Ever since the incident five years ago, he had never drunk a drop of alcohol.
He was not a good listener, but it did not matter to Mu Heng, who had loads of things to talk about the woman he had just fallen in love with recently.
“…Do you think I still have a chance? S-She does have a husband, but I think that since she’s far from him right now…”
Halfway through his awkward speech, Ji Ziming suddenly put down the coffee cup in his hand with a cold look.
Pak!
With that sound, he was cut off halfway.
“She has children.”
This statement from the man made him lose all energy, and he deflated like a balloon.
“Sigh! I just realized that we are truly brothers in suffering…”
He nudged his lips and commented glumly.
The man seemed not to have heard him as he merely continued sipping his coffee calmly.
“Are your parents still forcing you into marriage?”
This question made the man pause.
Although the other remained silent, he still understood that his life at the moment had not been smooth-sailing.
Still, no one would have a smooth and peaceful life given this issue.
“Actually, it’s also time for you to consider it. After all—”
“I’m not here to listen to your lecture.”
The man lightly rubbed the coffee cup as he stated that in a cold voice.
“Yes, yes, yes. I’ll stop speaking about it, alright? Drink. Let’s drink.”
With that, he raised his glass and continued drowning himself in his sorrows.
However, perhaps because the alcohol had upped his courage or because he was too curious, he suddenly asked a question.
“Ziming, are you still looking for her?”
