Cannon Fodder Husband Ch.641-642

Chapter 641 – Encounter at the Movie Theater

Indeed, in the days leading up to their departure, no matter how much Lu Fangyi caused a scene, Jiang Chengcun didn’t yield.

In the end, the two of them left together with their child.

During their parting, Jiang Chengcun apologized to Aunt Jiang and asked Jiang Junmo to take care of the family.

Upon reaching this point, Lu Xia also guessed his decision.

Aunt Jiang seemed to sense something too, crying uncontrollably. Uncle Jiang sighed, not saying much, just stating, “Since you’ve made a decision, take care of yourself and your family.”

“I will!” In the end, Jiang Chengcun took a deep breath and, accompanied by the unwilling Lu Fangyi, turned and left…

After they left, the atmosphere at home wasn’t very pleasant. Aunt Jiang looked very sad but immediately immersed herself in work.

And Lu Xia and the others had to go to work…

After a hard-earned break, the two of them didn’t have time to spend together. Jiang Junmo felt guilty.

So, the day before he went to work, he left the children at home and took Lu Xia out for a date.

The first stop was the movie theater. During the Lunar New Year, the movie theaters were especially crowded, mostly with couples on dates.

When Lu Xia and they arrived, the closest showings were already sold out, so they had to wait.

During this time, Jiang Junmo went to buy popcorn, and Lu Xia waited in place. She thought she saw a familiar face and was about to go say hello, but Jiang Junmo returned.

“What’s wrong?”

Lu Xia shook her head. “I think I saw Ye Lin.”

But when she looked again after saying this, the person had disappeared.

Jiang Junmo responded, “Maybe she left after the movie?”

Lu Xia thought about it and didn’t dwell on it.

After watching the movie, Lu Xia encountered her again.

Not only that, she was surprised to see who was with her.

“Ye Lin, Qi Xiao? What are you doing here?”

Upon seeing Lu Xia and Jiang Junmo, both of them looked a little embarrassed.

Ye Lin blushed and didn’t dare to look directly at Lu Xia, while Qi Xiao grinned and said, “Hehe, we came to watch a movie!”

Lu Xia, curious about their relationship, was about to ask, but was pulled away by Jiang Junmo.

“Alright, you watch the movie. We’ll chat another day!”

Lu Xia could only leave helplessly upon seeing the situation.

Outside, she regretfully asked him, “Why did you rush off like that? Aren’t you curious about their relationship?”

Jiang Junmo glanced at her helplessly and said, “There are so many people here. Are you sure you want to ask here? Besides, didn’t you see how embarrassed Comrade Ye was?”

Lu Xia sighed in disappointment. “Alright, I’ll ask another time.”

Because they were moving back to the small courtyard in the afternoon, they didn’t have lunch outside. After watching the movie and taking a stroll, they went back.

After moving back to the small courtyard in the afternoon, Jiang Junmo went to work the next day.

Lu Xia’s school hadn’t started yet, and she was bored at home. Considering it was the first day back at the company, she planned to go and take a look, and also inquire about Ye Lin’s situation.

Upon arriving, she noticed Ye Lin looking a bit awkward after seeing her.

Curious, Lu Xia asked, “What’s wrong? Is there something you’re hiding from me? Afraid to face me?”

Ye Lin glared at her, “Of course not!”

Lu Xia didn’t believe her, “Then why are you acting shy?”

Ye Lin opened her mouth, intending to say something, but then didn’t know what to say. Her face turned red again, and she hesitated to speak.

Seeing this, Lu Xia put on a gossiping expression and asked, “Come on, tell me, what’s really going on?”

Ye Lin realized she couldn’t keep it a secret anymore, so she stammered, “It’s nothing, just that I had a blind date with him yesterday!”

Chapter 642 – Blind Date

.

“Blind date?”

Lu Xia was surprised. “You had a blind date with Qi Xiao?”

“Yeah.”

Ye Lin nodded, her face turning red again for some unknown reason.

Lu Xia suddenly felt that something was off. Why did Ye Lin seem to be acting strangely?

“You used to really dislike blind dates, right? How come you agreed this time?”

After a pause, Ye Lin said, “Well… my mom forced me to go!”

“Your mom forced you? Or was it because the blind date was with Qi Xiao?”

Upon hearing this, Ye Lin’s face turned even redder, and she avoided eye contact, unable to meet Lu Xia’s gaze.

What more was there for Lu Xia to understand?

“Come on, tell me. When did this start?”

“Huh? When… when did it start?”

“Don’t act like you don’t know.”

Lu Xia rolled her eyes. “The person you liked before was Qi Xiao, right? You haven’t forgotten about him all this time?”

“Who? Who likes him?!” Upon hearing this, Ye Lin instinctively denied.

But upon seeing Lu Xia’s understanding expression, she finally let out a sigh of relief. After a moment of silence, she admitted, “Yes, you’re right. The person I mentioned before, it’s him!”

Lu Xia furrowed her brow upon hearing this. “Then why didn’t you tell me before?”

She knew Qi Xiao, and if she had known Ye Lin’s feelings, she would have definitely helped.

Unexpectedly, Ye Lin shook her head directly. “It’s because you know him that I couldn’t say. I didn’t want to make things difficult for you. Besides, I’ve tried before, and he rejected me. It wouldn’t help to tell you, and I didn’t want to be too persistent.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Xia fell silent for a moment and then asked again, “So what happened with this blind date? How did it end up being Qi Xiao?”

“I don’t know!”

Ye Lin shook her head. “I didn’t want to go on the blind dates my mom introduced me to. Until the last one, when I heard his description, I felt like it matched him. I asked for his name, and sure enough, it was him. I got curious and wanted to see if it was really him.”

Lu Xia understood after hearing this; perhaps she hadn’t let go of her feelings.

“So you went?”

“Yeah.” Ye Lin nodded, feeling a bit embarrassed.

“And after I went, he was surprised to see me. That’s when I found out he didn’t know it was me.”

Hearing this, Lu Xia was curious. “So, how did this blind date turn out for you two?”

Ye Lin blushed again at her inquiry. “…It was just like that.”

“What do you mean by ‘just like that’?”

“It’s… he said we could give it a try!”

“He agreed to be in a relationship with you?” Lu Xia was surprised.

“Yeah.” Ye Lin nodded firmly. “He brought it up himself, and I agreed. We’re both busy, and his work is mostly in the south, so marriage and all that can wait. For now, we’ll give this a try.”

Lu Xia still found it sudden. “But… didn’t he reject you before? Why did he change his mind this time? And aren’t you bothered by it? After all, he rejected you before!”

Ye Lin shook her head and looked at her seriously. “We talked about this. Honestly, back then, because of you, I went to him for help a few times. My feelings toward him were more like admiration and attraction. He probably noticed, which is why he rejected me.

After we met again this time, we’ve both been through a lot and matured. To be honest, after all this time, not only haven’t I forgotten about him, but I still like him. It proves that my feelings are genuine. I want to seize this opportunity.”

“And what about him? How does he feel about you?”

Ye Lin smiled shyly at the question. “He likes me too. He said he found me cute before and was worried that I was just impulsive, which is why he didn’t agree back then. But now, seeing that I’m still the same, he feels relieved!”

Lu Xia let out a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

“As long as you both like each other, that’s great. I’ll congratulate you in advance.”

Ye Lin smiled. “Thank you. I’ll make it work!”
