CHAPTER 492: CHAPTER 19 ABOUT PUPPY LOVE AND GROWING UP_2

"It’s not so bad; the child is still young, and if there are some shortcomings, they’ll understand better when they’re older." Lin Xiaoguai wasn’t just mouthing platitudes; in her previous life, she saw plenty of naughty kids. To her, Yiyi’s behavior at this age was completely normal.

Although she said this, Jiang Xiaomei still felt upset, and her tears continued unabated. Soon after, Yi Feng also hurried over and, just like Jiang Xiaomei, immediately asked about his son upon entering.

Yi Yi had stayed overnight at the Shen Family’s house before returning. When he woke up, he wasn’t without people asking him why he had gone to Xingcheng County, but he was unwilling to talk about it.

It wasn’t until many years later when he had truly matured and had come to terms with his past that he joked about what had happened at that time.

This silly kid, with his romance facing opposition from parents and teachers, actually imitated the TV dramas, intending to elope with his little girlfriend. They agreed to meet at the train station in Xingcheng County with their luggage, but the girl never showed up, leaving him alone in bitter waiting.

Maybe this was nothing more than an immature story. The betrayal he felt at the time seemed so unnecessary in hindsight, but from that experience, he genuinely started to grow and mature.

At this time, Lin Xiaoguai had started talking to Han Shouzhen about the topic of puppy love.

"Speaking of which, Little Niangao actually had an early romance once," Lin Xiaoguai said somewhat nostalgically.

"Really?" Han Shouzhen asked in surprise. "How come you never mentioned it?"

"It’s not that I didn’t mention it, it’s just I didn’t know how to talk about it," Lin Xiaoguai said, somewhat awkwardly. "At first, he suddenly came back and told us he had a girlfriend. Before we could decide how to react to this, within a few days he told us they had broken up."

Han Shouzhen also felt awkward. "What happened?"

"He was just curious. Many students at school were keen on this kind of thing. After a while, he wanted to try. Just then a school beauty confessed to him, and naturally, he accepted. But after a few days, he found the girl too clingy and broke up with her," Lin Xiaoguai said with a mix of laughter and tears.

After a pause, she asked, "Speaking of which, did Ping’an have an early romance at that time?"

"No," Han Shouzhen frowned.

"Maybe you just didn’t notice?" Lin Xiaoguai suggested.

Han Shouzhen shook her head, "Absolutely impossible. His health wasn’t even good then; where would he have the mind for that? Later when he went to university, I was eagerly hoping he would bring a girlfriend home, but he buried himself in the lab."

By the end of the conversation, her tone carried hints of irritation.

Lin Xiaoguai chuckled lightly. She felt her sister had already accepted that Ping’an had a girlfriend much younger than he was; she just wouldn’t admit it.

After all, in her heart, Ping’an held a weight too substantial, too important. As long as it wasn’t a matter of principle, Han Shouzhen was the one who would give in.

After returning from Han Shouzhen’s house, Lin Xiaoguai visited a gift shop and delivered several pre-ordered products. While discussing some matters with Xiang Yun, she saw Yaya hurriedly running over from the corner.

"Zhizheng, wait, listen to me, I really didn’t do it on purpose, I just spoke without thinking..."

Hearing her voice, Lin Xiaoguai realized that Yaya wasn’t alone; a young man was following her.

Wang Zhizheng walked with his head down, ignoring the words of the person behind him.

"Yaya?" Lin Xiaoguai called out hesitantly.

She didn’t understand what was happening before her eyes.

"Godmother." Seeing her, Wang Zhizheng paused, somewhat surprised, but his expression remained unchanged.

The man following her stiffened, greeting her awkwardly, "Chairman Lin..."

Lin Xiaoguai looked at him thoughtfully. He was quite tall, even if not one meter eighty, he was at least one seventy-five. He also had a handsome face with particularly eye-catching peach blossom eyes, which, under her gaze, turned very awkward.

After thinking for a few seconds, she remembered that this young man seemed to be a staff member of the Charitable Foundation.

"Hello," she nodded politely, then turned to Yaya and said, "Since we’ve met, come have a meal at my place."

Wang Zhizheng initially wanted to decline, but facing her firm gaze, his refusal turned into a nod.

"Then... Zhizheng, I’ll go back first. See you tomorrow. Goodbye, Chairman Lin!" The man said sheepishly.

"Goodbye," Lin Xiaoguai responded with a consistently calm demeanor.

"What was that about?" Lin Xiaoguai asked while driving back.

"It’s nothing." Seeing Lin Xiaoguai glare at him, Wang Zhizheng had no choice but to say reluctantly, "That guy’s name is Mi Lang. His ex-girlfriend came to make a scene at the foundation today. In the heat of their argument, he suddenly pulled me and claimed I was his new girlfriend. He was just chasing after me to apologize."

Lin Xiaoguai frowned upon hearing this. Weren’t these kinds of plots supposed to be found only in novels and onscreen?

"You should stay away from him in the future," she advised after some thought.

"Godmother, I get what you mean." To Lin Xiaoguai’s surprise, Wang Zhizheng seemed to be more aware than she had expected, as he said with a faint smile, "I could guess he was kind of into me, but I’m not at all interested. And..."

He paused, then said, "It’s true he has a soft spot for me, but he surely has a greater liking for the fact that I am your goddaughter."

Lin Xiaoguai was taken aback for a moment but then couldn’t help but laugh, "Yaya, you’ve grown up."

"I’ve been grown-up for a while," Wang Zhizheng replied somewhat discontentedly, and then with a barely contained smile, added, "He’s not really a bad person, and not entirely insincere towards me. It’s just his thinking is a bit more pragmatic, that’s all."

"Aren’t you angry?" Typically, girls would be somewhat annoyed in such situations.

"What’s there to be angry about?" Wang Zhizheng stretched lazily, "The decision is mine. How he thinks is his business, why should I bother getting upset over it?" (To be continued.
