Chapter 40: Like

Ruan Shishi had chosen a barbecue restaurant that had recently opened and was quite crowded. After waiting for over ten minutes, they followed the server inside.

They ordered quite a bit, and soon the food arrived. As they grilled and ate, they started discussing Xia Zhi's worries.

"You know, I think you're being a bit overly sensitive," Ruan Shishi said while flipping the meat on the grill, "Your reason for getting married in a hurry was quite feeble to begin with—you didn't understand anything about each other's past. Even if he did have someone in his heart, how could he possibly tell you?"

"So, you mean he doesn't like me?" Xia Zhi asked dejectedly.

Ruan Shishi paused, "It's hard to say. If you ask whether he likes you or not, well, he treats you well and acts very affectionately towards you in front of others. But if you say he likes you, like you mentioned, asking him if he mistook you for someone else, he didn't deny it."
