SUPER SOLDIER KING

Chapter 20: Bitchy Couple



Ji Meng Qing, with a face full of happiness, pulled her daughter’s hand as they entered the restaurant. This “Lang Man” restaurant was a product of her blood, sweat and tears. From building plans to interior decoration, she did it by herself. The restaurant’s business was finally on the right track and she could at last relax. She did not have to worry about everything anymore. As a single mother taking care of such a large business and a young daughter, there were times she felt extremely exhausted. But every time she saw her daughter’s innocent and cute face, she felt very blessed.

The way she saw it, her daughter was her whole world. She was worth all the hard work.

Once inside the restaurant, Ji Meng Qing’s eyes swept around. Suddenly she was petrified. Stunned, she gazed at the corner where a youth in unsophisticated attire was seated. When her daughter saw that her mother had suddenly stopped, she looked up with curious eyes and called out, “Mama, why did we stop?”

When she heard her daughter’s voice, Jin Meng Qing recovered her wits. She smiled kindly at her daughter and said, “Let’s go!” Saying this, she pulled her daughter's hand and they entered her office, her gaze still glued onto the man in the corner.

This man made a deep impression on her. If it wasn’t for him, she would have met her end at a foreign land. Even though two years had already passed, the image of that man had been carved deeply into her brain. Sometimes, late at night, the imposing figure of that man would creep into her mind.

During these past two years she had also tried to ask around to get news about that man but nothing ever came up. She did not realize that today she would suddenly see him in her own restaurant.

When they were inside the office, her daughter bounded cutely to the sofa. She ate some snacks and played with a ragdoll by herself, extremely happy.

Ye Qian was apparently unaware that he was being watched. After all, he was currently having dinner with Lin Rou Rou. He did not have any reason to be alert. When having a meal, one must be relaxed. Ye Qian was smiling faintly when he asked the waitress for recommendations. Even though she hid her feelings well, he could tell that there was a trace of disdain in her face. These type of people who saw people through colored glasses, he had seen many of before. He didn’t need to lower himself to pay them any mind. So while eating with Lin Rou Rou he felt very happy and did not feel like bickering. However, this was his first time to treat Lin Rou Rou to a meal. He did not want this kind-hearted girl to feel wronged. So when that waitress recommended the expensive beef, fish and red wine he did not object.

“Rou Rou?” While the two people were eating, a young girl whose arms were around a young man approached called out to her.

Lin Rou Rou looked astonished as she raised her head to look at them. She exclaimed in pleasant surprise, “Ya Ying? You are Xu Ya Ying? Where do you work now?” Lin Rou Rou did not expect to bump into a classmate from nursing school. She was felt very happy.

“I work at the family planning bureau. There is really no future in being a nurse. My boyfriend also doesn’t want me to become too tired, so he moved me to the family planning bureau. Right now I’m handling some charity projects, so I can already be considered a civil servant. What about you? Do you still work at the People’s Hospital as a nurse?” Xu Ya Ying said, very pleased with herself.

“Yes!” Lin Rou Rou replied indifferently. She did not pay any mind to Xu Ya Ying being so pleased with herself.

“Rou Rou, I really can’t understand you. With your circumstances, wouldn’t finding a new job be very easy? Why do you continue to toil as a nurse?” Xu Ya Ying appeared to be very concerned for Lin Rou Rou, but in reality she was hinting at her own cleverness. She was currently feeling very high-spirited.

Lin Rou Rou smiled faintly and replied, “I like being a nurse. Even though it is tiring, it makes me happy.”

Xu Ya Ying shook her head and changed the subject, “Rou Rou, let me introduce you to my boyfriend Zhao Xie. He works in the district justice bureau but soon he will move to the municipal committee.” Xu Ya Ying’s looked like she was very pleased with herself, seeing that look made most people feel sick. Back when they were still in school, Xu Ya Ying lost to Lin Rou Rou in everything. She was not as good as Lin Rou Rou in nursing theory and nursing practice; Even in looks she was no match for her. But now these things were no longer important to her. No matter how outstanding Lin Rou Rou was, at this moment, she had won.

After hearing Xu Ya Ying’s introduction, Ye Qian who had been silently sipping his red wine could not help but jeer, “Pu chi”, laughing. He was thinking that, is there no other name he could go by, why would he stick with “Zao Xie”. Seeing the three people staring at him blankly, Ye Qian smiled a small smile and said, “Nothing, nothing. I just suddenly thought of something funny. Please continue.”

TL: 赵谢 Zhao Xie is the boyfriend’s name - this is a good name that means thankful but it sounds alot like 早泄 Zao Xie which means premature ejaculation.

“Rou Rou, is this your boyfriend? Why don’t you introduce him? Mr. Handsome, what career ladder are you climbing?” Xu Ya Ying asked. While she called Ye Qian “Mr. Handsome”, the way she said it made it clear that she was just being polite. She thought that Ye Qian was some country bumpkin and looked down on him.

Lin Rou Rou had only known Ye Qian for two days and they had also been together for only short periods of time. So Ye Qian’s job was still unclear to her. When she heard Lin Rou Rou call Ye Qian her boyfriend, she couldn’t help but blush was unable to make a reply.

“Ah, I don’t dare move up the ladder. I work as a security guard.” Ye Qian replied indifferently.

After hearing his reply, a look of contempt appeared in each of Xu Ya Ying and Zhao Xie’s faces. They were young and talented, their future was bright, and currently they were flushed with success. How could a common security guard be present in front of their eyes. Xu Ya Ying became even more pleased with herself and thought, You Lin Rou Rou, while you are so beautiful your boyfriend is just a security guard, a job where you just eat and die, for a whole lifetime there would be no future.

“Right, Rou Rou, today is Ou Yang’s birthday. We’re planning to go to a bar to celebrate. You should come too.” Xu Ya Ying said in a very courteous manner, but anybody could see that she was not being sincere. She only meant to continue ridiculing Lin Rou Rou.

Lin Rou Rou was a good girl, she had never been to a bar before. When she heard her say this she turned to Ye Qian with eyes full of hope. Ye Qian was inwardly shaking his head, thinking, what a naive girl. But Lin Rou Rou wanted to go so Ye Qian must accompany her. He nodded his head lightly and said, “Tell us where it is, we’ll go after dinner.”

“Okay, Bewitched Bar, 8PM.” Xu Ya Ying replied. “Even if we don’t see each other, don’t give up and leave! (Idiom: be sure to wait, see you there). Saying this, Xu Ya Ying pulled Zhao Xie’s arm with a pleased expression as they left the restaurant. Throughout the whole encounter, Zhao Xie did not utter a single world. It was not as if he had any particular poise, he just had a righteous belief that he should not have dealings with a person like Ye Qian.
