When Wang Jingjuan, dressed to the nines, drove the Volkswagen Sedan with Li Yang to pick up Yang Yanping, Yang Yanping had also carefully dressed up and waited by the roadside for Li Yang to come get her.
"Dummy, over here!"
Li Yang opened the car window with a mischievous grin and called out to Yang Yanping, who was looking around by the roadside.
"Coming!"
Like a cheerful little bird, Yang Yanping ran over to the car and leaned toward the open window to look inside.
"What are you looking at? Hurry up and get in!"
Li Yang urged her from his seat.
"Oh, got it."
Yang Yanping quickly went around to the back, opened the door, and got in.
"Come on, let me introduce you. This is Wang Jingjuan, the matchmaker who set you up. You can call her Juan-jie from now on."
Li Yang casually introduced the two women.
"Hello, Juan-jie. Thank you for setting this up for me. When we get there, I'll treat you both to a meal."
Yang Yanping had specifically brought her bank card so it would be more convenient to pay later.
"It's nothing, little sister. Once we drop you off, we'll leave. We can't disturb you young people on your date. He's a music teacher at our training center, talented and handsome, and his family is from Guanlin. Don't worry. Get to know each other properly!"
Looking at the equally beautiful Yang Yanping, Wang Jingjuan immediately took a liking to her. From the bottom of her heart, she hoped Yang Yanping would find a good husband.
After some small talk, the three set off. Along the way, Yang Yanping put her sales skills to use and chatted very pleasantly with Wang Jingjuan, leaving Li Yang out in the cold. Looking jealous, he unwillingly reached out and secretly kept feeling up Wang Jingjuan's smooth, fair thigh. Fortunately, Yang Yanping in the back seat did not notice. Wang Jingjuan did not care either. He was hers anyway, so she let him fool around.
Not long after crossing Xiyuan Bridge, they arrived in a newly developed area of Luoyang. Even the mayor's office and city government had moved here, showing the government's confidence in Luolong's location.
The Music Fountain was a local attraction built alongside the city's development. It opened on schedule every evening and drew many local residents who came to stroll and have fun.
Gao Jie was Wang Jingjuan's coworker. He was twenty-four this year and had studied music. He was also an only child. After graduating a few years ago, he had returned to Luoyang for work at his parents' urging. As luck would have it, the company was hiring professional training instructors, so he joined smoothly.
People who studied art tended to be romantic, and Gao Jie was quite experienced when it came to relationships. He was temporarily single, though, so when Wang Jingjuan asked whether he would be willing to go on a blind date, he readily agreed. He could not let her good intentions go to waste, and meeting once would not hurt. So he slung his usual guitar over his back and arrived early to wait.
"Xiao Jie, over here!"
Wang Jingjuan was still eye-catching in her little tank top and hot pants, wearing flat Crystal Sandals barefoot.
"Hello, Juan-jie."
Gao Jie wore jeans, a short-sleeved shirt, and sneakers. His hairstyle was fashionable and suited someone working in the arts.
After they met, Li Yang and Wang Jingjuan explained the purpose of the meeting to the two of them in perfect sync, then quickly slipped away to give them plenty of room to spend time alone.
"Hello, Yanping."
Gao Jie politely greeted Yang Yanping.
Then he took her to Quanshun Shopping Plaza for dinner. The two got along quite well. After all, Yang Yanping's first impression of Gao Jie had been very good. It looked like the two might really have a chance.
"Would you say we've done another great good deed?"
Li Yang held Wang Jingjuan's hand as they wandered aimlessly through the bustling streets at dusk.
"Of course. So if you ever need me to set someone up again, I'll do it all for free."
Looking like a cute young girl, Wang Jingjuan skipped playfully alongside Li Yang.
Her sexy, delicate curves highlighted her perfectly proportioned figure, much to Li Yang's delight.
"All right, look how pleased you are. Stop being silly. Let's go eat. Tonight, we're going to have a proper romantic date."
To keep Wang Jingjuan from thinking about unhappy things, Li Yang did everything he could to cheer her up.
With a smack, Wang Jingjuan gave him a sweet kiss and happily pulled Li Yang off to Haidilao. It was rare for them to be so close to one, so they certainly could not miss it. Girls all liked this kind of thing.
Li Yang had never actually eaten there before. Though he had often heard its advertisements, today he was getting to enjoy it with his darling.
They soon arrived at the restaurant. It was as lively as a farmers' market, truly an eye-opener. Business was unbelievably booming. Li Yang wondered what was so special about it. Most of the customers seemed to be women, along with men accompanying their girlfriends, wives, and children.
They took a number and waited a while before finally getting an empty table. Walking together, they looked just like a young couple, without the slightest hint of awkwardness.
Wang Jingjuan expertly led Li Yang, who looked like a country bumpkin visiting a grand estate for the first time, and under the server's guidance, the two found an empty table and sat down.
"Handsome, would you and your girlfriend like some towels?"
As soon as they sat down, the server warmly came over to greet them and handed them a tablet to order from.
"Thank you. We'll take two towels, and two aprons as well."
Wang Jingjuan wore a light-colored tank top, with a swath of snowy skin exposed at her chest.
Wang Jingjuan thoughtfully helped Li Yang put on an apron to keep his clothes from getting dirty, then started ordering dishes.
"Baby, do you want beer or a drink?"
Wang Jingjuan leaned gently against Li Yang and asked softly.
"Beer. I haven't had any in days."
"All right, then we'll get their house specialty beer."
Then Wang Jingjuan ordered some dishes Li Yang liked. She herself definitely would not be able to eat much.
"Baby, what dipping sauce do you want? Sesame paste or garlic?"
"Sesame paste, of course. Otherwise, how am I supposed to kiss you tonight after eating garlic? And you can't have the garlic sauce either. If you dare disobey me, just wait and see how I deal with you when we get home!"
Li Yang put on the airs of a lordly master.
"Hmph, I'm eating it anyway."
Wang Jingjuan rolled her eyes at him with a smile and stood up to get some dipping sauce. Li Yang mischievously wanted to secretly pinch her perky backside as she rose.
"Hehehe!" Wang Jingjuan had expected it. Laughing, she dodged away and ran off before Li Yang could get his way.
"Here, eat more lamb." Wang Jingjuan thoughtfully placed some cooked food into Li Yang's bowl. She obediently did not add garlic to her own sesame paste either, using the same dipping sauce as Li Yang.
After the two finished dinner, Gao Jie played one of his best love songs live on the guitar for Yang Yanping in the plaza outside. His fingers danced nimbly across the strings, and the notes he played were as clear and pleasant as flowing water. Yang Yanping stood quietly to one side, her eyes filled with emotion and happiness. She was drawn to Gao Jie's musical talent and touched by his romance.
On that warm evening, Gao Jie's singing and guitar echoed through the plaza, drawing the attention of many people. They stopped to listen, moved by the beautiful music. Yang Yanping's face was filled with a happy smile as she felt Gao Jie's deep affection for her.
When Gao Jie played the final note, Yang Yanping stepped forward. Somewhat shyly, she whispered in his ear, "Thank you. That was the most beautiful love song I've ever heard." Gao Jie smiled at her, his eyes full of affection for Yang Yanping.
Unexpectedly, this chance meeting brought together a couple who would later have a wonderful marriage. It was quite unexpected for Li Yang and Wang Jingjuan as well.
Wang Jingjuan casually ate a few bites, then put down her chopsticks and stopped eating. She rubbed her little belly and pretended she could not eat anymore. No matter how Li Yang coaxed her, she would not open her mouth. In the end, he could do nothing about it and simply let her be.
Li Yang dumped all the remaining food into the pot at once and began wolfing it down. He had looked at the menu earlier, and this place was not cheap. Fortunately, Wang Jingjuan was treating him. Otherwise, he would never have come here even if someone beat him to death.
"You eat, baby. I'm going to rest for a while. I'm exhausted." Wang Jingjuan took a sip of beer, then poured the rest into Li Yang's cup. She comfortably rested her feet on his legs, leaned against the sofa, and started playing a little game on her phone.
"Baby, don't rush. Eat slowly. We're going to see a movie later. I already bought the tickets online." Wang Jingjuan had finally gotten a chance to relax, so naturally she wanted to have some proper fun. Lao Zhao had never taken her out to enjoy herself before.
Sometimes her two daughters accompanied her instead. The three of them would go shopping and eat together, making for quite a lovely sight.
"Got it, darling."
Li Yang's mouth was greasy from eating. He took a gulp of beer before answering through a mouthful of food.
At last, Li Yang finished eating. He did have one good quality: whether at home or eating out, he never wasted food. Wang Jingjuan happily wiped his mouth for him, then picked up her bag and went to pay.
Good grief, they had not ordered much, yet it still cost more than two hundred yuan. Li Yang stared at the receipt in shock.
"All right, baby." Seeing his stunned expression, Wang Jingjuan immediately comforted him thoughtfully.
"It's fine. Don't overthink it. If you ever want to eat here, we can come anytime. Come on, the movie is about to start." Without waiting for Li Yang's reaction, she took his hand and left.
At the cinema, Wang Jingjuan gave them the number and collected two movie tickets, which cost more than forty yuan.
A romantic comedy happened to be playing. The two watched with great interest. Wang Jingjuan laughed so hard at the jokes that she collapsed into Li Yang's arms, while Li Yang fed her popcorn and cola from time to time.
After the movie ended, it was about time. Li Yang was still thinking about Yang Yanping's blind date, so as the two walked toward the underground parking lot, he took out his phone and called her.
"Hello, what is it, Li Yang?"
Yang Yanping had already been taken home by Gao Jie. He had been quite gentlemanly and had not lingered too long. Their first meeting had left a good impression.
"Are you two back already?" Li Yang wrapped an arm around Wang Jingjuan's slender waist as they walked slowly.
"I'm home. Tell Juan-jie thank you for me. Another day, I'll definitely treat you both to a meal."
The two chatted briefly before hanging up.
"Are you going home tonight, baby?"
As Wang Jingjuan drove, she turned her head and looked at Li Yang affectionately.
"No. I have work tomorrow. Tonight, I want to hold you and sleep properly." Li Yang leaned lazily against the passenger seat, looking drained.
"No holding me. I'll give you the big teddy bear from Meili's room. You can obediently sleep on the sofa!"
Wang Jingjuan deliberately put on a stern expression to tease Li Yang, and the two playfully bickered all the way home.
"Come on, my darling."
The moment the living room door closed, Li Yang impatiently swept Wang Jingjuan into a princess carry and headed for the bedroom.
"You're awful! We haven't even showered yet."
Wang Jingjuan shook her little feet in protest.
"We'll shower afterward."
Then Li Yang sealed her red lips before she could say anything more...
Before long, Li Yang skillfully removed Wang Jingjuan's last remaining piece of underwear, and the two were soon bare before each other. Wang Jingjuan also kissed Li Yang passionately...
Li Yang's kisses left sweet marks on every inch of Wang Jingjuan's skin. Their passion was like a lively little dance, never stopping for a moment...
Before long, Li Yang had thoroughly subdued Wang Jingjuan. Like an obedient little kitten, she lay quietly in his arms without moving.
"You little bad boy."
Wang Jingjuan raised her flushed face and gently kissed Li Yang...
After resting for a while, Li Yang carried her to take a shower together. Then they held each other and exchanged sweet words for a while. A wave of sleepiness came over Wang Jingjuan, and she slowly drifted off in his arms...
Early the next morning, Li Yang did something unprecedented and got up to buy breakfast for Wang Jingjuan. Their warm little world for two was about to come to an end after breakfast.
"Baby, I'll take you to work."
Wang Jingjuan sat on the sofa, slowly pulling thin flesh-colored stockings over her legs with gentle, alluring movements.
"Sure. I'm tired too. Let's go."
Unwilling to part, Li Yang shamelessly pulled her into his arms and kissed her passionately again.
"Mmm, you're awful. Be gentler, don't tear my stockings."
After another round of intense kisses from Li Yang, the two finally got ready and went out together.
"Baby, get some proper rest these next few days. If you have time at noon, come eat with me. But no matter what, I'm not letting you hold me to sleep tonight. Otherwise, you're always getting naughty ideas."
After parking the car, Wang Jingjuan kindly reminded Li Yang.
"Got it, Juanjuan." As he spoke, Li Yang brazenly gave her a random grope, then jumped out of the car and ran off.
Fortunately, Wang Jingjuan was already used to Li Yang's behavior. She laughed softly and waited until he had walked away before happily starting the car and heading to work.
That morning, Wang Jingjuan suddenly remembered that her period had not come for many days. She was both excited and expectant, wondering whether something unexpected might have happened.
With an uneasy heart, when she got off work at noon, she called Li Yang and made an excuse that she had something to do and would not be going home for lunch. Then she drove to Peony Women's Hospital Gynecology Department for a physical examination.
Sure enough, she was really pregnant. Looking at the clear words on the examination report...
Wang Jingjuan covered her mouth in shock. She truly could not believe it. Ever since giving birth to her second child, she had had an IUD inserted and had never done anything about it.
She had never expected that after so many years, she could still become pregnant. There was no need to think about whose child it was—it had to be Li Yang's. But only she knew that if she kept this secret, no one would believe the child was Li Yang's.
Sitting in a hospital chair and thinking for a long time, Wang Jingjuan felt this was a gift Heaven had deliberately bestowed upon her. Once her two daughters married, she would be all alone. If she was carrying a boy, she was only in her thirties and would certainly live to see him marry and have a wife. By then, perhaps she could even hold grandchildren in her arms.
With that thought, Wang Jingjuan made up her mind and went to register for prenatal care. This hospital's gynecology department was quite well known, and she planned to give birth here in the future.
As for her two daughters, she had a way to convince them that this was the descendant Lao Zhao had left behind...
Thinking of the beautiful life ahead, Wang Jingjuan felt a surge of anticipation. If it was a boy, her dream would finally come true!
