FLASH MARRIAGE-18.1

In this chapter we get to see a different side of Xiao Guan Yan. She is not that mellow as she always portrays when need be she can be both assertive and fierce. What needs to be seen is Jiang Li's reaction after seeing this new face of Xiao Yan. Any guesses anyone.....

Chapter 18 (1)

FIGHT (1)

Since Wang Kai had helped me in finding this job I decided to invite him out for the dinner. He told me that there was this really good seafood restaurant nearby and then very eloquently added that eating fish was good for human brain.


I finally noticed that this guy Wang Kai, just as Jiang Li, liked to tease me for his pleasure.

Of course since I was a rather reserved person so wherever he asked me to go, I acquiesced.

Wang Kai drove me in his car in round-round circles, I could not help but feel dizzy, were we really looking for the restaurant or practicing some new martial art?.....when we finally saw the extremely humble facade of the restaurant, I truly felt like admiring Wang Kai, such a remote place, how did he manage to find it?

Wang Kai very frankly said: “I came here with one of my ex-girlfriends; the food was good so I remembered it.”

Like a proper listener I displayed the required curiosity: “You have already come here a few times?”

Wang Kai: “Once.

”
After coming here for just one time he already could remember the path, must say this guy’s sense of direction was not bad. If I was stranded here and left alone, I most certainly wouldn’t know how to go back on my own.

Then I asked him the second question in my mind: “Do you remember the name of the girlfriend with whom you came here?”

Wang Kai thought for a moment and finally shaking his head said: “I don’t remember.”

See, that’s the true face of this man. Such a complicated way he did not forget but could not even remember the name of the person he used to date!

Wang Kai as if he could see my thoughts smiled meaningfully and said:  "Since I like these women, I date them and when I date them its very peaceful and of course when I break up with them, that too is very amicable. I am sorry but not everyone in this world is as much emotional fool as you.”

I was stunned, did he call me foolish?

Wang Kai then glanced at me very intensely and said: “In fact women can also be promiscuous.”

I: ……..

I discovered that Wang Kai and I were indeed two different kind of animals with completely different brain structure, even the basic thinking process was not the same.

There was no use of discussing this issue any further so I decided to drop the topic. Anyways we were talking about male vs female’s philandering habits, it  had nothing to do with me and what was more important than this issue was food, so I must just eat!

Wang Kai had already recommended this restaurant for its good food. The only thing I did not understand was why such a good restaurant, had to be hidden between so many alleys and lanes.

I was just ordering some side dishes when my phone rang; it was a call from Jiang Li. I suddenly realized that this guy probably was still hungry….

So with a guilty conscious heart I picked up the phone.

From the other end Jiang Li very impatiently asked: “How come you are still not home?”

Although I was his wife cum chef cum nanny but I also had some self-respect. Thus, when he talked to me in such tone, I did not like it.  So using the similar impatient tone I said: “I am having dinner right now, you go and find something to eat on your own, okay?”

Jiang Li lost his temper: “You quickly come back to cook for me or else we will separate.”

This time I got quite angry. Jiang Li could slash a knife thousand times at me it was fine but just once I didn’t agree with him so he used ‘separation’ to blackmail me, too vile, too despicable, oh damn him and his entire family!

My temper was oppressed for so many days; my top was finally going to blow off but I still tried to control the anger in my heart, grinding my teeth I screeched into the cell phone: “If you want to separate then separate, this old lady is not afraid of you!” After saying this, without waiting for his reaction, I hung up the phone.

I was boiling with anger. Wang Kai had stopped eating his food and was staring at me. I snapped: “What are you looking at? Have you never seen a fight before?”

Wang Kai picked a piece of fish and put it in my bowl, smiled and said: “There is no need to get this much infuriated. Anyways a couple's quarrel should be resolved in their bed room and….”

“I never got along with him.” Once Jiang Li’s name was mentioned I could not help but feel frustrated and indignant. “From the first day of our marriage he has been bullying me. How could I be this unfortunate to get married to a guy like him, ah……”

Wang Kai very smoothly said: “Yeah, it was better to get married to me, right.”

I was not in the mood to joke around so after giving him a fierce glare I started eating. I don’t know about other people but I was the kind of person who would feel hungrier with growing anger. I had heard that some people don’t like to eat when they get angry, really amazing!

After dinner, Wang Kai offered me a ride back and I readily accepted his offer
since these alley and streets were not only as confusing as maze but did not have any cabs to hail.

Wang Kai: “Should I drop you at your home?”

I: “Yeah but to my mother’s home.”
