Hualing saw Cheng Su and Qi Taiguo all dressed up, ready to go out, and couldn’t help but pause, asking, "Where are you going?"
She looked at Cheng Su, dressed appropriately, with makeup on, and then at Qi Taiguo, who also looked sharp in his military uniform. The two were perfectly matched in height, truly a sight to behold.
Qi Taiguo was promoted to Deputy Battalion Commander and seed even more spirited and attractive, with an undeniable presence that couldn’t be ignored.
Such a man belongs to Cheng Su.
As for Cheng Su herself, she’s not lacking either, running a business and attending university, living well. Her aura is great too; a young woman in her early twenties, her complexion still radiant and fair.
Hualing instinctively touched her own face. Without looking in the mirror, she knew her skin was dull and filled with hostility.
Back then she said Cheng Su was a country bumpkin housewife, but now it seems she’s the one who resembles a bumpkin?
"The army is hosting a social event today, didn’t you know?" Cheng Su invited with a smile, "Co along and watch the excitent, I heard there’s a performance, and the cafeteria has so extra dishes."
A social event!
Hualing rembered, everyone was talking about it before, and Chen Shouwang ntioned it too. Later she got annoyed listening to it and lost her temper, so he didn’t dare bring it up again.
Now Cheng Su invited her to watch the excitent...
Hualing glanced at her own bulky ho clothes, thought about her skin, and her expression changed, "I’m not going, you guys go!"
With that, she quickly went into the room and slamd the door shut.
Cheng Su and Qi Taiguo exchanged a glance, both shook their heads, and slowly walked downstairs.
"It seems Hualing isn’t ready to let go." Qi Taiguo said.
Cheng Su gave him a look, "Such a big issue can’t be let go of all at once, take it slow, haste makes waste; she needs ti!"
She could understand Hualing’s feelings, such matters definitely take a long ti to resolve, and forgiveness can’t happen instantly.
"If she never lets go, I reckon their marriage is just for show." Qi Taiguo sighed.
"Isn’t that right, she..." Cheng Su began, then stopped, because ahead, Chen Shouwang hurried back with a lunchbox.
Chen Shouwang was taken aback to see them both, seed too embarrassed to look at Qi Taiguo, and forced a smile, "Going to the social event!"
"Yes! You should bring Hualing along and check it out, staying ho all the ti isn’t good!" Qi Taiguo said.
Chen Shouwang smiled, "I’ll ask her, not sure if she wants to go!" With that, he said no more and quickly walked past them to go ho.
Cheng Su waited until his figure disappeared completely and then scoffed, "If only he knew today’s consequences back then, self-inflicted pain."
"Enough, let’s go!" Qi Taiguo tugged her hand, heading toward the army.
When Chen Shouwang returned ho, he saw Hualing sitting on a small stool with a sullen face, feeling uneasy, carefully placing the lunchbox on the table, saying, "I brought food back, you should eat sothing."
Hualing looked at his cautious deanor, and the corner of her mouth curled coldly, feeling both sad and bitter inside.
Others have cheeks like Tao Hua, while she is like a wilted yellow flower, unbearably ugly, nowhere near the forr beauty.
Others have husbands who are dashing Deputy Battalion Commanders. Hers? Timid as a mouse, submissive, not like a man, even demoted, ha, he’ll never rise again in this lifeti.
Hualing finally understood the aning of "without comparison, there is no harm."
