Chapter 348: My Birthday
The person he loves the most?
Ning Meng paused in her tracks, raising her brow.
Hmph.
How could this person be so shameless? How could she say this so confidently and in such a confident manner? If he really loved her, would he have broken up with her in the first place? And ultimately end up marrying Ning Meng?
Ning Meng pursed her lips and was about to walk straight into the villa when the young lady noticed her and shouted out, “Mrs. Huo!”
After she had shouted, she felt that something was amiss when she looked toward Ning Ke. She held onto her braised pork and started to retreat. “Um, I… I’ll make a move first!”
After the young lady had run off in fear, only two people were left at the door. Ning Ke and Ning Meng. Ning Ke’s expression as she looked at her was filled with disdain. She stood there and straightened her back, her nervousness causing her to sweep her bangs. Their looks were about five to six out of ten points worth of similarity, and their behavior and actions were similar to about eight out of ten points!
This was too awkward.
Just as Ning Meng was about to say something, Ning Ke suddenly laughed. “Ning Meng. I know you. When you came to my fan meet earlier today, I knew instantly that it was you.”
“??”
Ning Ke closed her eyes. “I don’t want to hurt you either but I have one piece of advice for you. Leave Huo Beichen!”
“??”
She felt that all of this had to be a joke. Her lips twitched when she heard what the other girl had to say. “Shouldn’t I be the one to say this to you? After all, I’m his lawfully wedded wife. And you… Are just his ex-girlfriend at best!”
Ning Ke’s beautiful willow-like brows relaxed. “Then, do you know why Huo Beichen wanted to marry you?”
Ning Meng closed her eyes. Her eyelids covered her eyes which were filled with mixed complicated feelings. Why would Huo Beichen want to marry her? This was a question that had puzzled her for the longest time. Was it because she looked like his ex-girlfriend?
But if that was the case, why would he not like the original ex-girlfriend instead? Why would he want to be with her of all people? Was it because she was the optimistic type? She was not the humblest person anyway, right?
She felt that the reason for their marriage was not important. The main point was that she could feel that the person Huo Beichen liked was her. In fact, she could even confidently say that he loved her. She could tell that his love for her was strong and rich.
She lifted her head and looked at Ning Ke with perseverance in her eyes. “I don’t need to know. I don’t want to know either. All I know now is that we are a married couple and that is enough. Miss Ning, if you don’t have any reason to come, please leave. Our family does not welcome you.”
After saying that, Ning Meng walked around Ning Ke and was about to punch in the passcode to enter the villa. Unfortunately, just as she was about to do so, she heard Ning Ke say, “1102.”
“?”
Dumbfounded, Ning Meng raised her brow and looked at her in astonishment. “I’m sorry?”
“The passcode is 1102, right?”
Ning Meng’s mouth was clamped shut and Ning Ke laughed. “Do you know how I know? Because this is the date of my birthday.”
These words struck Ning Meng’s ears like lightning and she looked at Ning Ke in disbelief. “What did you just say?”
Ning Ke knew then that she had jabbed straight at Ning Meng’s most sensitive point. “You may not mind the reason he married you but surely you would mind how he’s still thinking of another while he’s with you?”
Ning Ke walked by her aggressively, clad in baggy pink clothes. She did not seem as sweet as she had initially thought. On the contrary, she portrayed an air of harshness. This harshness made Ning Meng realize that they were actually quite different.
Ning Ke laughed. “Do you really not mind that he would use 1102 as the passcode?” She closed her eyes halfway. “Do you know why Huo Beichen insists on staying here? This is because this house belongs to both of us!”
