Chapter 858: Chapter 860 Sad Events

"Auntie, you’re being too kind. Tang Rong usually takes care of me in my everyday life. But don’t worry, Auntie, I’ll definitely take good care of Tang Rong." Xiao Yifei said humbly.

Tang Rong listened for a while beside them, and the more she listened, the more it felt off. The conversation sounded oddly like a mother-in-law giving instructions to her new son-in-law.

So she interrupted their conversation: "Mom, didn’t we say we’re going out to eat? Let’s hurry up and get ready, or else it’ll be mealtime and there will be too many people."

Then the four of them gathered their things and went out. As they walked down the street, Xiao Yifei supported Tang Rong’s mother, and from behind, it was such a harmonious scene, like a son supporting his mother. Tang Rong suddenly realized that Xiao Yifei had never talked about his parents.

All she knew was that Xiao Yifei had a grandfather who was also a practitioner of Chinese Medicine, but he had passed away over a year ago. She didn’t know anything about Xiao Yifei’s parents and had never asked. These kinds of questions are always a bit awkward to bring up.

The four of them had a great time eating together. Then Tang Rong’s mother said, "You three go ahead and wander around on your own. I have to prepare to go home; I still need to feed Pineapple!" Pineapple was the dog Tang Rong’s mother owned.

"Auntie, would you like me to take you home? It’s quite far from here to your house, isn’t it?" Xiao Yifei asked.

"It’s fine, don’t worry about me. I’ve been living in this city for so many years. You just have fun; it’s not often you get a holiday." Tang Rong’s mother declined, choosing to leave time for the young ones. If she stayed, they wouldn’t have as much fun.

After Tang Rong’s mother left, the three of them suddenly felt a bit bored with nothing to do. Shi Miaomiao decided she wouldn’t be the third wheel anymore and said to the two of them, "Brother Xiao, you two should go have fun on your own. I’m going to head home and catch up on some sleep. This week has been exhausting."

After Shi Miaomiao finished speaking, she left as well.

"How about we go see a movie? Isn’t ’Zhiming and Chunjiao Save the Day’ showing now? I’ve always liked Yang Qianhua. The first two movies she did were really good. She has a unique charisma typical of Hong Kong stars." Tang Rong suggested.

Actually, when two people are together, besides eating and watching movies, there doesn’t seem to be much else to do, so they decided to go watch a movie.

This film was shot very delicately, telling the story of ordinary everyday events. Even in the first two films, when they broke up, it was very calm. Zhang Zhiming cheated, but we don’t think he’s really that much of a jerk.

After watching the movie, Tang Rong seemed still immersed in its atmosphere. She suddenly felt worried about the future. If they continued down this path and were lucky enough to marry, would their life be like the movie too?

Even the most wonderful love can be worn down by the mundane. If that’s the outcome, what’s the point of getting married?

She had experienced such a life firsthand. Since she was a teenager, her parents’ relationship had problems. That’s why Tang Rong always looked for something in her partners. She didn’t know what it was, maybe a sense of security, but she wasn’t sure.

All these years, she had met Xiao Yifei, and her deep-seated insecurities began to fade. But she couldn’t be sure what the future held, so she had always been afraid.

Xiao Yifei noticed that Tang Rong was in a somber mood after leaving the cinema. He didn’t say anything, just held her hand tightly.

"Xiao Yifei, do you think you’ll get married someday, or have you ever thought about what life after marriage would be like?" Xiao Yifei didn’t respond right away; he suddenly realized he had never really thought about marriage.

"I’ve never seriously considered marriage before, but if it were with you, I definitely would." Xiao Yifei looked sincerely into Tang Rong’s eyes.

Upon hearing this, Tang Rong was suddenly moved to tears. Maybe he was the right person after all, or else why would he always move her so deeply and give her such a sense of peace?

Everything Xiao Yifei said was sincere. He realized that he had never really included marriage in his life plans. His aspirations were to be more accomplished than his grandfather by the time he was thirty and to open his own hospital.

But he noticed that in all these fantasies, he was the only person involved. Perhaps subconsciously, he thought living alone might be more interesting.

"If we get married someday, will our life become like theirs in the movie?" Tang Rong asked again.

"Of course not. We love each other so much that our life after marriage will surely be very happy." Xiao Yifei continued.

Upon hearing the word marriage, Tang Rong snapped back to reality and smiled shyly, "What are you thinking? We haven’t been together that long, and you’re already thinking about getting married. I don’t want to get married so soon." Tang Rong said softly.

"Rongrong, you were the one who asked me what marriage would be like, and now you’re embarrassed, with a red face!" Xiao Yifei teased.

"Where is it red? It’s just hot in there." Tang Rong explained.

"Alright, then we don’t have to get married now. As long as I get to be with you, I’m fine with anything. We could date forever; wouldn’t that be wonderful?" Xiao Yifei said.

Actually, not being married also has its perks. Without a marriage, you could avoid many troubles. Marriage involves the blending of two large families, and it seems truly complicated.

"Then that’s settled. You must not change your heart, and you have to promise to always love me. Let’s make a pinky promise." Tang Rong said, extending her hand.

Xiao Yifei also reached out his hand, and their pinkies hooked together, "Pinky promise for a hundred years without change." After saying this childish little game, they finished with a thumbprint stamp. noveldrama

"By the way, Xiao Yifei, can I ask you something about yourself? I’m not trying to pry, so if you don’t want to answer, that’s okay." Tang Rong said.

"It’s fine. Go ahead and ask. If I know the answer, I’ll tell you." Xiao Yifei said, wondering what the question could be, as he always handled himself well.

"I’ve never heard you talk about your parents. I’ve only heard you mention your grandfather, but I don’t know anything about the rest of your family." Tang Rong said cautiously, looking into Xiao Yifei’s eyes.

"Oh, I thought it was something serious. It’s because my parents divorced when I was young. They both have new families now, so I’ve always lived with my grandfather. When he was alive, my dad would come back every New Year, but now we don’t keep in touch." Xiao Yifei said calmly, as if the pain had left no scars on him.

"So you don’t ever contact each other by phone?" Tang Rong asked.
