Wang Xiangxiang, with her heavy luggage in hand, walked slowly. Seeing the rude man coming over to take her luggage, she thought he had finally developed a conscience?
But upon hearing his words, she cursed herself thoroughly in her heart. How foolish could she be to even think for a moment that the rude man could change for the better?
If a rude man could change for the better, it would be when the sun rises from the west.
He called her weak. What did it matter to him if she was weak or not? She inexplicably felt like arguing with him, and didn’t know where she found the strength, but she clutched the luggage and refused to let go, as the atmosphere dropped below freezing point.
Seeing that the two of them hadn’t caught up, Xiaoxiao glanced outside the carriage and held her forehead. What was the situation with these two? They had been finding fault with each other all day long.
They weren’t in a hurry, but she was anxious to get home. Thus, she yelled outside, "You two hurry up."
Upon hearing Xiaoxiao’s words, Chu Lian snatched the luggage and quickly walked to the front of the carriage, followed briskly by Wang Xiangxiang.
Chu Lian helped to place the luggage properly, and Wang Xiangxiang also got onto the carriage.
Seeing the three of them on the carriage, Chu Lian also wanted to get on, but he heard Yang Ming and Chu Lian saying their farewells.
"Mr. Chu, thank you for today. We will be on our way then."
"Big Brother Chu, we’re leaving first."
Hearing such words, Chu Lian found no reason to follow them and was about to say goodbye when he heard the shrewish woman’s words.
"Let him come too. On the road, in case of an emergency, a man is stronger than us two women," she said.
Hearing Wang Xiangxiang say this, Xiaoxiao thought it made sense. Her cheap husband could encounter an accident at any time, and having an extra person meant extra help, so she agreed, "Mr. Chu, then we’ll trouble you to join us."
Chu Lian looked at Yang Ming and Xiaoxiao, and seeing that they sincerely wanted him to come aboard, he agreed and got into the carriage.
After closing the carriage door, Wang Xiangxiang opened the small window at the front and told the coachman, "Let’s go."
"Yes, miss," the coachman replied with a "Giddy-up!" and the carriage started with a jolt.
The four of them just happened to be sitting facing each other, with Yang Ming and Xiaoxiao sitting together, and Chu Lian opposite Wang Xiangxiang.
Once on the carriage, Chu Lian was full of disdain. He didn’t want to sit with this shrewish woman at all, but due to the arrangement of the seats, he had no choice but to squeeze as far as possible towards the edge of the seat.
He didn’t know why the shrewish woman insisted on him getting in the carriage, but when she spoke those words, her expression was one of smugness, and he couldn’t shake the feeling that she was plotting something mischievous.
Wang Xiangxiang saw everything about Chu Lian’s behavior, thinking he wanted to sit next to her? She would have preferred to be eight feet away from him, shifting towards the edge of the seat like she was avoiding something dirty.
Xiaoxiao was indifferent to the antics of the two of them. They could do whatever they liked. All her attention was now on her cheap husband.
"Husband, are you tired? Why don’t you lie down?"
Xiaoxiao had already assumed the position to let Yang Ming lie on her lap, patting her thigh, "Hurry, rest on my legs, it will be more comfortable."
Seeing Yang Ming not moving, she even tugged at him. Unable to refuse her, he reluctantly lay down on his wife’s lap.
Xiaoxiao, treating him like a child, coaxed him, gently patting his chest, "If you’re tired, sleep. I’ll sing a song for you."
The distance between us seems sometimes far and near
Even though you’re not by my side, I feel you close
There’s a feeling I want to convey
The secret in my heart, the sweetness you’ve given me
The distance between us seems to be closing bit by bit
Could it be that you also have a special feeling for me?
I hesitate whether to tell you
My heart’s secret, I think I’m starting to like you
