Chapter 785: Chapter 782
When Cheng Dongyuan arrived, he didn’t drive himself; he came by plane, simply intending to attend a wedding and watch the girl he had accompanied for many years marry the man she loved.
But who would have thought that he now did not want to leave this place as soon as possible.
Approaching July, although the temperature differences were significant here and the ultraviolet rays were strong, the scenery was also extremely beautiful.
Throughout the time they advanced together, he hitched a ride in Lu Xiao’s SUV and set off with them.
Perhaps, there was still a bit of selfishness in his heart.
He wanted to observe more, to see where exactly he had lost.
This man, what exactly … why did she become so infatuated, adoring, and worshipful towards him?
Was it envy?
In a certain direction, he was almost dying of jealousy.
It was only envy and jealousy, but he could only accept it since his family background, upbringing, and character did not allow him to do anything outrageous.
All he could do was compromise, let go, and wish well.
As the three of them traveled for two or three days, they finally prepared to drop Cheng Dongyuan off in Lhasa.
It was afternoon when they arrived, coinciding with a rainfall. Fortunately, as the rain grew heavier, they had already entered Lhasa, passing by the Potala Palace.
The area was bustling with tourists and offered convenient dining and accommodation options.
The rain blurred the sight through the car’s windows, and the windshield wipers continuously cleared the rainwater, while Wen Xian held a black thermos in the passenger seat, peering out the window and touching her stomach, saying she was very hungry.
After all, she now had the appetite of three people, which was not to be underestimated.
She discussed with Lu Xiao what to eat and finally, upon seeing a beef hot pot restaurant, excitedly clamored for Lu Xiao to stop there.
Naturally, Lu Xiao listened to his wife’s wishes and drove the car to the entrance of the fairly large beef hot pot restaurant, ready to let her disembark and go inside first.
Since the trip was meant for her to travel and relax, Lu Xiao catered entirely to her dining preferences. Even if they couldn’t find a restaurant on the road at times, he would use the pots, pans, fresh vegetables, and preserved meat he had in the trunk of the car to make her delicious meals.
Lu Xiao handed Wen Xian the umbrella, and Cheng Dongyuan got out of the car with her to go order food first.
Meanwhile, Lu Xiao himself went to park the car properly.
Actually, today’s meal was also considering their impending separation, and everyone was aware of it.
The decor of the beef hot pot restaurant was very characteristic of local architecture, with a timber frame as the main structure, closely interconnected through a special design to withstand seismic disturbances, and decorated externally with rich colors and intricate patterns.
Truly, each place had its own unique flavors.
There were three floors in total, with Wen Xian and Cheng Dongyuan going up to the quieter and better-viewed second floor.
Wen Xian picked a four-seater near the window, and by chance, from their angle, they just so happened to have a view of the scene at the entrance downstairs and also just so … to see Lu Xiao.
Because there were many people at the restaurant’s entrance, he had parked a bit further away.
After taking their seats, Cheng Dongyuan called over a waiter to let Wen Xian order, and she, without pretense, ordered a full table of vegetables and meat.
After the waiter left, Cheng Dongyuan, seeing that Lu Xiao had yet to arrive, sat across from her, watching the pitter-patter rain outside the window, and couldn’t help but slowly say:
“He really trusts me to be alone with you.”
