EBE Chapter 361 What Kind of Karmic Bond Was It?
Chapter 361 What Kind of Karmic Bond Was It?
As soon as Fang Li laid out the picnic mat, Yang Miao couldn't wait to take out snacks and spread them all over the ground.
Han Xi got up, took a bottle of mineral water, unscrewed it, and handed it to Fang Li, who was tidying up her things. He then tucked a strand of her wind-blown hair behind her ear.
"Are you tired?" he asked in a low voice.
Fang Li pressed down the rolled-up corners of the seal and was about to answer when a familiar voice suddenly came from behind her.
"Fang Li? What are you doing here?"
Fang Li's face turned slightly pale.
She frowned slightly and looked at Han Xi beside her.
The two turned around and saw Yu Wei and Song Yucheng standing a few steps away. The two were also dressed in hiking gear, obviously there to admire the autumn leaves.
Yu Wei wore a light gray tracksuit, her long hair tied in a high ponytail, looking refreshing and capable, quite different from her usual sweet style.
Song Yucheng was wearing a black baseball cap and black sunglasses perched on his nose, revealing only his slightly pursed lips as he held a DSLR camera and looked at them.
"You guys are here to go hiking too?" Yu Wei looked surprised.
This was the first time Fang Li had seen Yu Wei since the incident at the mall.
She looks to be in good condition.
After the mall incident ended, Fang Li heard from her friends in the industry that Yu Wei was not only suspended from work, but also dared not leave her home for a long time.
Fang Li had almost forgotten about her because she was so busy with filming.
Unexpectedly, I don't know what kind of bad karma I had in my past life, but I actually ran into him while climbing a mountain.
"Yes, I heard that the maple leaves in Jinshan are particularly beautiful recently, so I decided to come here on a whim."
Fang Li smiled and stood up, her gaze lingering on Han Xi for a moment before turning to Song Yuchen, who had been staring at her. "There's some news in the industry that the heiress of Yu's Jewelry is getting engaged soon. I'm sure she's talking about you. Should I congratulate you both?"
Song Yuchen paused slightly, and a change finally appeared on his face.
Yu Wei glanced at him and smiled sweetly, "I didn't expect the news to spread so soon after I just had this idea. This was all decided by my father. I haven't met A-Chen's family yet, so it will probably take some time before it's completely settled."
"is it?"
Fang Li turned her gaze to Yu Wei, "In any case, it's only right to congratulate you two on your upcoming wedding."
"Thank you."
Fang Li smiled faintly, then ignored them and squatted down to continue tidying up her picnic mat.
Han Xi naturally followed her lead.
Seeing that Fang Li seemed oblivious to the awkwardness on their faces and continued working as if no one else was around, Han Xi also walked past them with a calm expression and took out the canopy to start setting it up.
Yang Miao, who had been sitting on the cushion watching the show, quickly threw down the potato chips in her arms and went to help her uncle hold the pole.
The three of them were busy with their own things, leaving Song Yuchen and Yu Wei standing there in the open.
Yu Wei's smile froze, and a flash of intense resentment crossed her eyes as she clenched her fists.
Although Song Yuchen, who was standing next to her, was wearing sunglasses, it was easy to tell from the expression on his face that his gaze had been fixed on Fang Li the whole time.
Yu Wei could see his piercing gaze behind his sunglasses with just a slight turn of her head.
In an instant, his expression grew increasingly grim.
"Fang Li is with her family and doesn't seem to want us to disturb her. Let's go."
She took Song Yuchen's arm and prepared to pull him away.
Unexpectedly, Song Yuchen remained unmoved and stood there straight as ever.
"Ah Chen?" Yu Wei's left fingernails dug into her palm as she barely managed to maintain a faint smile.
This sound carried a subtle warning, and Song Yuchen finally came to his senses.
Across from them, Fang Li had already packed up the picnic mat. Seeing Han Xi holding ground stakes to secure the canopy, she quickly went over to help him pull the rope.
Han Xi looked up at her, a faint smile playing on his lips.
Fang Li smiled gently at him.
This smile was one that Song Yuchen had never seen before, and it stunned him in an instant.
"Let's go."
Yu Wei didn't even want to maintain her last shred of dignity, and just grabbed Song Yuchen and left.
Song Yuchen stumbled as he was pulled, frowning as he looked at Yu Wei, whose face had darkened. "Let go, I can walk by myself."
"......"
Song Yuchen pulled his hand away and walked straight ahead, leaving Yu Wei behind.
Even though it was just a glimpse of Yu Wei's back, Fang Li could sense Yu Wei's sadness and embarrassment.
However, their affair had nothing to do with her in the end. She only glanced at it briefly and then stopped looking. By the time the canopy was set up and they went to look again, Yu Wei was long gone.
"Auntie, is that your ex-boyfriend?!"
The three of them had just sat down on the mat, ready to enjoy their leisurely weekend, when Yang Miao, holding potato chips, suddenly came over and asked.
Fang Li had just taken a sip of water when she choked and almost spat it out on the spot.
“Cough cough cough…”
Yang Miao was startled and quickly dropped the potato chips to pat her back.
Before he could even extend his hand, someone else snatched it first.
She looked over the hand and met her uncle's deep, cold eyes. A chill ran down her spine, and she didn't dare to get any closer. She quickly shrank back and hid behind him.
"Are you okay?"
Han Xi gently patted Fang Li's back and asked her.
Fang Li coughed several times until her neck turned red before she finally managed to stop.
"It's okay, you'll be fine after a while."
She wiped the moisture from the corner of her eyes, took a couple of sips of water to soothe her throat, and it felt much better.
Han Xi naturally took the water bottle from her hand, screwed it on for her, and then put it aside.
"There's something I've never asked you before, what are you doing now...?"
"No need to ask, there isn't." Han Xi was interrupted by Fang Li before he could finish speaking.
She turned her head to look at him, her gaze cool and firm. "I know what you want to say. I haven't seen him in a long time. If I hadn't run into him today, I would have almost forgotten that such a person existed."
"......"
"Besides, he and Yu Wei are getting engaged soon, and we'll be getting married soon too. I think things are fine as they are now."
Fang Li took Han Xi's arm and leaned her head against his shoulder, saying gently, "Meeting you made me understand what love is. As long as I can walk with you like this for the rest of my life, that would be my greatest satisfaction."
The woman's nose was pert and upturned, and her long, trembling eyelashes were visible beneath her eyes.
Even when she said, "This is my greatest satisfaction," the slight upturn of her lips was like a captivating painting.
Han Xi just stared at him, as if he couldn't get enough of looking at him.
A lonely, cold heart gradually softened, filled, and satisfied as the woman's lips curved into a smile.
"Crack!"
The two were sitting quietly, facing the city in the distance, when suddenly a camera shutter clicked behind them.
Fang Li snapped out of her daze and turned around with Han Xi.
Another click.
Yang Miao, holding up his camera, smiled knowingly: "Oh my, look at these two people! They look so good together!"
"..." Fang Li was amused by her coy and affected manner.
Even Han Xi's lips couldn't help but relax and curl up.
Yang Miao, carrying a camera, came over and leaned close to Fang Li again, whispering, "Auntie, please tell me, was that your ex-boyfriend just now?"
"I heard he cheated on you. If he cheated on such a beautiful girlfriend like you, is that man blind?"
"My uncle won you over so quickly, could it be that he took advantage of your heartbreak and got into your car?"
