Rebirth: Regaining Joyful Moments-Chapter 1245 - 1247: Missed Out

"You’ve changed a lot too." Zou Yaru smoothed her long hair, looking towards Pei Yicheng at a distant table, she said, "Congratulations on marrying someone you love. I see happiness on your face."

Zou Yaru’s words carried a trace of envy.

"Thank you."

Xu Nianhua responded generously, somewhat unsure why Zou Yaru wanted to meet her.

"What would you like to eat?" Zou Yaru handed over the menu.

Xu Nianhua casually ordered a few dishes, listening to Zou Yaru talk about how she arrived in Fragrant City and became a singer. She sincerely said, "Nianhua, thank you." If not for Xu Nianhua’s initial five hundred yuan, she might have never managed to get back on her feet because of Gu Junhe’s issues.

"You’re welcome." Xu Nianhua knew that the main topic was about to arise.

Zou Yaru was silent for a while before asking, "How is he? I heard he’s still not married?"

"He’s busy with work every day, hasn’t married, nor dated anyone." Xu Nianhua supplemented, expecting Zou Yaru to ask her to contact Cheng Hao, but unexpectedly she said, "Nianhua, help me convey my wish for his happiness."

"No, there’s no need." Zou Yaru shook her head, saying, "No need to say anything, just pretend you’ve never met me."

Xu Nianhua: "..."

Looking at Zou Yaru’s pained expression, she inexplicably felt that Zou Yaru’s past mistakes were absurdly misguided.

"Now, I just hope he’s happy." Zou Yaru mouthed to herself, and for the rest of the meeting until she left, she didn’t intend to contact him.

Xu Nianhua couldn’t help but ask, "Yaru, you..."

"I’m not worthy." Zou Yaru seemed to know what Xu Nianhua wanted to say, she self-mockingly smiled and said, "Nianhua, I’ve already lost my chance with him. He’s so good and deserves someone who loves him wholeheartedly, that person won’t be me. Some people, once missed, are missed forever."

"Here are some tickets, if you like music, you can bring your friends along." Zou Yaru handed Xu Nianhua concert tickets, and with her high heels clicking, she left.

Pei Yicheng stepped forward, draped her in a coat, and said, "It’s cold."

"Yicheng, if we were to miss each other, would you..." Before Xu Nianhua could finish, Pei Yicheng interrupted, "I’m not Cheng Hao, and you’re not Zou Yaru. We won’t miss each other."

Pei Yicheng spoke with firm conviction, he said, "Nianhua, I feel there’s a kind of fate at play, their matters, you shouldn’t worry."

"Cheng Hao is your brother." Xu Nianhua said.

Pei Yicheng: "So what if he’s my brother, I can’t choose for him."

Not long after Xu Nianhua and Pei Yicheng met with Zou Yaru, Xu Nianhua heard about Cheng Hao going on a blind date, until Cheng Hao brought the girl to meet Pei Yicheng. Xu Nianhua glanced at the girl; her cheerful and lively nature contrasted with Zou Yaru’s gentleness from before.

The girl was like a little sun, her warm smile making others feel very comfortable.

"I told you, he would move on." Pei Yicheng held Xu Nianhua’s hand, strolling under the moonlight, the cool breeze blowing away the scent of alcohol, he said, "Today, I’m really happy."

"Yicheng, what do you think, if we have a daughter, will Xiaoting overthink?" Xu Nianhua suddenly said.

Pei Yicheng stopped, his gaze dropping to her flat belly.

Xu Nianhua grinned, saying, "Congratulations, you’re going to be a dad again."
