Chapter 988 - Was That Your Wife?
Song Yao shook her head. “Nothing yet…”
“Then let me help you. Shall we start from the little angel’s milk bottle?”
The sales assistant enthusiastically introduced the stuff to Song Yao. Song Yao listened attentively and ended up selecting a bunch of things. Because she didn’t know the baby’s gender, the sales assistant suggested picking more neutral colors…
But Song Yao was hoping her baby was a girl, so she couldn’t help looking at some pink and light-blue colored small items, asking to have them wrapped up.
When she was waiting to pay for her items, the bored Song Yao turned around to look at some pretty little shoes. She paused in surprise…
In her sight was the person she had dated for many years, the person she very nearly married, Su Huan.
Su Huan stood at the milk bottle shelves. Next to him was a black-haired heavily pregnant woman wearing radiation protection clothing. Both of them had blissful smiles on their faces as they discussed which milk bottle to buy.
Su Huan looked elegant and handsome like always. He wore a light gray suit jacket with big checkers. Inside was a faint blue collared shirt and a tie. With his leggy frame, he exuded a gentle and warm feeling.
As if by sixth sense, Su Huan looked up and right into Song Yao’s eyes. His pupils quivered slightly, and his lips parted mildly. His throat vibrated a little but couldn’t call out Song Yao’s name. He merely pursed his lips and revealed a polite and gentlemanly smile at Song Yao.
Song Yao smiled and nodded at Su Huan, then saw the pregnant woman with a low ponytail looking over at her too. She smiled and nodded at the pregnant woman as well.
The woman next to Su Huan seemed rather young. She had a girl-next-door look, an entirely different style from Song Yao. Even her gaze appeared very genial.
Seeing Song Yao nod at those two people as a form of greeting, the female bodyguard assumed they were acquainted, hence didn’t pay much attention.
“That seems like the famous celebrity Song Yao, do you know her?” the woman beside Su Huan asked. She clearly had the soft and gentle accent of a Southern woman. Her voice sounded rather pleasant, not like she was deliberately acting coquettish, but delicate in a subtle way. Even as a woman, Song Yao liked the way she sounded.
Su Huan nodded, then placed the milk bottle he was holding back on the shelves.
Song Yao also retracted her gaze and turned around, waiting for the cashier to settle her purchases.
The most awkward thing on earth was to bump into your ex with his current girlfriend. But right now, Song Yao had a slight smile on her lips, not at all feeling awkward. Instead, she was happy for Su Huan now that he finally had a woman by his side!
Song Yao didn’t know how far into her pregnancy that woman was, but if it was Su Huan’s woman, perhaps they had been together for some time now.
Although such thinking was very selfish, this way, Song Yao could lessen the guilt she felt towards him!
Su Huan was a wonderful man, and he deserved to be happy.
After the cashier tallied the bill, she handed it to Song Yao. Song Yao received the bill with a smile and was lowering her head to look for her wallet when she heard a familiar and gentle voice from behind her.
“Let me!” Su Huan, who was standing behind Song Yao, handed the cashier his bank card.
Song Yao looked up. From her peripheral vision, she saw the sleeve of Su Huan’s light gray checkered suit jacket. He was holding a black bank card between his fingers. Because he was extending his arm, the wristwatch under his shirt sleeve could subtly be seen.
The female bodyguard hesitated about whether to stop Su Huan, but upon seeing that Song Yao didn’t resist, the female bodyguard merely got closer to Song Yao and made a gesture for the others to help pick up the items that the sales assistant had wrapped up.
Song Yao gripped her bag. Her eyes felt like they were scorched by the subtly revealed watch, pricked with a sharp pain.
The watch was clearly incompatible with Su Huan’s expensive attire. It was a cheap digital watch…
Song Yao had bought it as a present for Su Huan using 200 RMB when she earned her first pot of gold. Su Huan had always cherished it!
Later, as Song Yao progressed to filming movies, as she earned more money, she also bought Su Huan more pricey watches. But Su Huan had a special fondness for this one watch!
But Song Yao hadn’t expected that Su Huan would still be wearing it so long after they had broken up!
While Song Yao was in a dazed state, the cashier had already settled the bill with Su Huan’s bank card and had respectfully handed the receipt and bank card to Su Huan.
The sales assistant who was wrapping up Song Yao’s items mistook Su Huan as Song Yao’s husband, so she smiled respectfully. “Madam, your husband treats you really well. In the future, he’ll definitely be a wonderful father!”
Song Yao’s countenance changed. She waved her hands awkwardly and explained, “No, you’ve misunderstood… He’s my friend, not my husband!”
Realizing she had misspoken, the sales assistant smiled awkwardly and concentrated on wrapping the items up, not speaking any further.
Song Yao turned around and looked at Su Huan, who was standing behind her. However, the pregnant woman who was with Su Huan was nowhere in sight now. She retreated a step uneasily.
“How can I let you pay?” Song Yao frowned. She took the receipt from Su Huan’s hands. “I’ll transfer the money to you!”
With a gentle smile, Su Huan gazed at Song Yao. “Are you buying these for Lin Nuan? Is she pregnant?”
Song Yao looked up at Su Huan, clearly shocked.
“A few days ago, when I was eating at a restaurant, I saw Lin Nuan and her husband. But I didn’t go over to say hello because I didn’t want to intrude on the two of them!” Su Huan slipped his bank card into his wallet, then placed it and a hand into his pocket.
“I heard Lin Nuan is here to shoot a movie…”
Su Huan spoke casually, just like he did when he was dating Song Yao. He didn’t seem as if he was holding a grudge.
Song Yao lowered her gaze. Just now, Su Huan’s wallet… was a present from Song Yao too!
Since they had already broken up, why would he keep all those things?
Song Yao gritted her teeth and raised her head. She maintained a smile as she looked at Su Huan. “Lin Nuan is here to shoot a movie. I’m not buying these for Lin Nuan. They’re for me, I’m pregnant…”
Song Yao answered Su Huan’s question with a cruel smile.
Seeing Su Huan’s face stiffen, Song Yao continued, “What about you? Was that your wife?”
Song Yao pretended like she hadn’t seen Su Huan’s watch or wallet, pretended… like they didn’t have a past.
Su Huan smiled and said, “No, you’ve heard of her, Su Ziqing… my cousin. Her husband has gone back to China, so I’m here to accompany her to buy some baby accessories.”
Song Yao nodded, then lowered her head to look at the receipt. When she tapped open WeChat, she realized she had already deleted Su Huan from her WeChat…
How awkward. Song Yao smiled at Su Huan and said, “Previously, I accidentally deleted many people from my WeChat. Is your WeChat number still the same? Or have you changed your phone number?”
Su Huan nodded. “Still the same…”
