Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets novel Chapter 959

Chapter 959: Chapter 959: Heartache

"Xiaoqing, it’s me, Zhao Xiangqian." Zhao Xiangqian quickly spoke.

"Hmm, go ahead." Sun Qing gestured for Sun Rou to quickly return to her room. Sun Rou quietly said, "Sis, I won’t eavesdrop."

With those words, Sun Rou promptly returned to her room. After a long tiring day, she just wanted to wash her face and feet quickly, then go to bed and rest.

"Xiaoqing, Li Wei and Yan Dong are getting engaged on Little New Year’s day." Zhao Xiangqian’s words carried envy, jealousy, and faint hope as he said, "Xiaoqing, we’ve known each other for so long, you should understand me by now, can we give it a try and date?"

That last sentence was said very cautiously by Zhao Xiangqian, even his voice was much softer, fearing his words might scare Sun Qing.

Sun Qing remained silent, neither spoke on the phone, only the sound of each other’s breathing could be heard.

Zhao Xiangqian held his breath, not daring to make a sound.

"Zhao Xiangqian."

Sun Qing’s crisp voice rang out.

"Present." Zhao Xiangqian instinctively replied, then embarrassedly scratched his head and chuckled, "I’m used to Brother Meng calling my name."

"I haven’t considered marriage in the past two years." Sun Qing’s words dropped.

On the other end of the phone, Zhao Xiangqian fell silent.

"There are many good girls in the world, you don’t necessarily have to come to me." Sun Qing’s voice was slightly low; until her family’s debts were paid off, she wouldn’t marry.

"No." Zhao Xiangqian argued, "There are many good girls in the world, but only you make my heart flutter."

Zhao Xiangqian looked up at the dark night far away, and his melancholy voice came over the phone.

"I’m willing to wait for two years, will you give me this chance?"

...

"Sis." Sun Rou waved her hand in front of her and said, "What did Brother Zhao say to you?"

"Nothing." Sun Qing replied casually.

Sun Rou didn’t believe her. She pursed her lips and said, "Sis, I’m only two years younger than you; I’m not a child anymore. You have feelings for Brother Zhao, don’t you?"

Sun Rou looked at her with clear eyes. It’s obvious that Sun Qing wasn’t indifferent to Zhao Xiangqian; otherwise, there were many pursuing her, but she didn’t show interest in anyone except Zhao Xiangqian.

"Xiao Rou." Sun Qing was about to speak but was interrupted by Sun Rou, "Sis, I’ve said before, you don’t need to worry about the family’s debt. Look, our shop business is so good, just work hard for two more years, and all the debts will be paid off. You and Brother Zhao are a great match, and you both have mutual feelings. If you miss out on Brother Zhao, it would be a real shame."

"Sis, if you’re missing out on Brother Zhao because of money, I’ll go withdraw the money right now." Sun Rou thought Sun Qing didn’t speak because she stubbornly disagreed, so she immediately stood up.

Sun Qing quickly pulled her back to the bed and said, "Xiao Rou, who told you I’m missing out on him?"

"So what you’re saying is..." Sun Rou looked at Sun Qing with a shocked expression; she hadn’t eavesdropped on their phone conversation and didn’t know what they discussed.

Sun Qing, a little embarrassed, recounted Zhao Xiangqian’s words, her face blushing, "Xiao Rou, I want to give it a try with him."

"Sis, you should give it a try." Sun Rou jumped excitedly and kept praising, "Brother Zhao saying that makes him better than many guys. Besides, Brother Zhao is an employee under Brother Meng; since Brother Meng is so dedicated, maybe Brother Zhao learned this trait too?"

"Sis, I’m really happy for you."

Sun Rou was even happier than Sun Qing, the person involved.

At the company, Zhao Xiangqian stood in front of the phone, the cold wind blowing past, yet he couldn’t snap back to reality. In his mind, Sun Qing’s words kept echoing.

"Brother Meng didn’t marry the little sister-in-law because she wasn’t old enough."

"You didn’t marry Sun Qing because she hasn’t decided to marry you so soon."

Zhao Xiangqian: "..."

Are we really brothers?

Do they have to be so harsh?

"Sister Qing, long time no see, you’re back!" Tang Yue saw Bai Qing returned with Xiao Bai, very happy, teasing Xiao Bai by saying, "Xiao Bai, call Auntie, Auntie will give you candy."

"Auntie, Chenchen sister."

Xiao Bai, though only a year old, kept remembering Chenchen sister, especially since Bai Qing kept saying ’Chenchen sister’ in his ears, so when he arrived here, he started looking for Chenchen sister.

"Sister is here." Tang Yue led Xiao Bai to the living room.

Just as they entered, Xiao Bai already trotted inside, not needing Tang Yue to lead him.

Zaozao and Chenchen were lying on the custom-made small bed, having just eaten and happily waving their little fists.

"Chenchen sister."

Xiao Bai saw Chenchen immediately and walked to her side, leaning in to give her a kiss.

"Xiao Bai, where did you learn this habit of loving to kiss others?" Tang Yue teased, watching Xiao Bai tiptoe, unable to touch, laughing till her stomach hurt. She held Xiao Bai and said, "Xiao Bai, you’re still small, you can’t run. If you tip over the small cart or fall, it’ll hurt. Got it?"
