Step Aside, My CEO Ex-Husband! Chapter 1179 - 1181: Extra 14
Previously on Step Aside, My CEO Ex-Husband!...
"It’s just that I haven’t met the right person yet, so I’m focusing on work for now and haven’t thought about marriage," Xia Ting explained with a smile.
"Let me introduce someone to you, a young man from the neighboring village. He’s quite good-looking, treats his parents well, and he’s an only child!"
"I’ll discuss it with my mom and then decide!" Xia Ting used her mom as a shield, knowing the aunt was trying to set her up.
She really didn’t know how to refuse politely, as she hadn’t planned on getting married yet.
Perhaps the truth was, she still couldn’t let go of Chen Li and couldn’t consider marrying someone else.
"Discuss what?" Mom Xia entered the kitchen holding some eggs; she had collected them from the backyard.
"It’s about introducing a suitor to Xia Ting. She seems reluctant," the aunt quickly stood up and walked over to Mom Xia.
"Girl, you’re not that young anymore. I’ve seen that young man; he’s quite nice. The aunt can bring him over for you to meet. It’s just a meeting, not forcing you to marry," Mom Xia said sternly to her daughter.
She didn’t oppose her daughter focusing on her career, but believed life’s major decisions were more important.
"Okay." Xia Ting replied to her mom with a curved smile, unwilling to contradict her.
Her age was indeed not young anymore, and it was time to find a boyfriend to marry.
Besides, it’s just a meeting now; there’s nothing serious about it.
After meeting, she can simply say she doesn’t like him, no big deal!
Nonetheless, she still felt quite sad inside...
Seeing Xia Ting agree, the aunt immediately went to call the young man over to meet.
When Chen Li arrived at Xia Ting’s home, it was already dusk, and he came by himself this time.
Then he took the wrong bus...
He didn’t dare call her, wanting to give her a surprise.
Taking the wrong bus delayed him, though he could have arrived earlier.
He walked to the entrance of Xia Ting’s home and happened to see Mom Xia sending the aunt and the young man out.
They were heading in another direction, not noticing Chen Li’s presence.
But Chen Li heard their conversation, and he widened his eyes, holding his breath while listening.
"What do you think of Xia Ting?" the aunt asked the young man.
"She’s great; I’m just not sure if she likes me!" the young man said shyly, having a good first impression of Xia Ting.
Chen Li clenched the handle of his suitcase tightly, trying to understand their words.
Could it be... a blind date? She went home for a blind date?
She actually lied to him, saying she went home because she missed her mom!
Turns out she went home for a blind date, deceiving him!
Furious, he turned away with his suitcase, not entering Xia Ting’s house.
Two days later.
A piece of news broke online: Ling Xiaoxiao and Chen Li were together!
Photos of them having dinner were taken, holding hands intimately.
They even spent several hours at Ling Xiaoxiao’s home without coming out, clearly in a relationship!
Facing questions from fans, Ling Xiaoxiao admitted on Weibo that she was indeed with Chen Li!
Chen Li then reposted her Weibo, acknowledging their relationship!
When Xia Ting saw the news, she cried heartbreakingly.
They were really together, they were together...
Indeed, they made quite a fitting pair, and being together was expected.
Because of Chen Li’s impulsive public relationship announcement, it brought great trouble to the company.
No prior preparation at all, the manager’s phone was bombarded with calls.
Sister Fei demanded Xia Ting return immediately, saying she still had the nerve to take a vacation after such a big issue!
Xia Ting wasted no time packing her bags and hurried back, her phone ringing non-stop.
It rang until it ran out of battery and turned off automatically; she didn’t dare answer the reporters’ calls, uncertain about how to respond.
Why didn’t he inform her before announcing the relationship, so she could have made some preparations to deal with reporters?
