Chapter 452: Manman, look who’s here
Maybe Shi Yan had drunk a little too much that night. Feeling a bit disoriented, he couldn’t help but reminisce about his moments with Lin Man. Most of the time, he remembered, she would belittle him.
Whenever he thought about the few times Lin Man had been kind to him, he clung on to those memories. It felt like searching for sugar in shards of glass.
He had intended to go home, but somehow had ended up outside Lin Man’s apartment building. Shi Yan didn’t go upstairs; he just stood there, lost in the light of her home.
He wasn’t sure how long he stood there when he suddenly heard someone call his name.
"Shi Yan?"
Shi Yan turned around and saw Tong Xiangqiao walking towards him.
Tong Xiangqiao wasn’t too sure at first, but when she got closer and was sure it was Shi Yan, she burst out laughing, "Oh my! It really is you! Shi Yan, are you here to see Manman? Why don’t you go up?"
Shi Yan’s crush on Lin Man was well-known in the Lin Family. Tong Xiangqiao didn’t particularly like Shi Yan, but she didn’t dislike him either. The main reason was Shi Yan’s generosity; he frequently brought gifts when he visited.
Tong Xiangqiao loved a bargain, so she naturally liked people like him.
Lately, Lin Man had been dumped by Zhao Wenkai, leaving her depressed and anxious. Tong Xiangqiao was worried sick, often losing sleep, fearing her daughter would never marry.
