Chapter 25: If we want to have children, then let’s not get married…

Because the distance was too close, Tang Man subconsciously frowned, and was the first to let go of the other person’s jacket that she was holding, and took a step back.

Pei Ling also took the opportunity to let go of his hands that were wrapped around her arms, and took a small step back, indicating that he had no other intentions.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t see clearly when I came in and almost bumped into you.”

The other person said apologetically.

However, Tang Man’s gaze lingered on the other person’s hand for a moment. She wasn’t sure if it was her illusion, but it seemed that hand had rubbed against a decorative button on her wrist before letting go.

At this time, Madam Yang had already walked up behind her and inquired about the two of them.

“Man Man, are you alright?”

Tang Man withdrew her gaze, shook her head, looked up to meet Madam Yang’s eyes, and smiled, “Mom, I’m fine. I was caught by him before I fell.”

She glanced at the young man behind her. Now that the two of them were standing together, she realized that he was really tall, probably around 1.86 meters.

Even with her height of 1.68 meters, she felt the need to look up slightly when standing in front of the other person in order to look directly into his eyes.

Yang Qing glanced at Pei Ling, smiled and pulled Tang Man towards the table, introducing as she walked, “This is Uncle Gu’s child, called Pei Ling. It just so happens that he has nothing to do at school today. Thinking that you were coming over and that you two are of the same age, it would be nice for you to chat together, so I called him over as well.”

Pei Ling smiled at Tang Man and sat down opposite her. Yang Qing then introduced her to another man.

He looked to be in his thirties, dressed in casual clothes, and didn’t look like an ordinary person. He probably had been in a high position for many years, and had a unique aura about him.

Tang Man followed Madam Yang’s gaze, met the man’s eyes, nodded politely, and called him Mr. Gu.

She had no reason to call a strange man uncle at first sight. The previous boyfriends of Madam Yang were basically polite enough to be called Mr. by her. The two sides would not be mutually dry, so it was good to ensure a decent face and not need to pull in the relationship.

Originally, this meal was just to let Tang Man and Gu Yuanke meet, to know that there was such a person, but after a meal, Tang Man saw a different signal.

She had actually met this person by chance before, but it was too hurried at the time, and they didn’t even say a word to each other, not even getting a clear look at each other’s face.

Now sitting face to face, Tang Man had to admit that her mother Yang Qing’s vision was still not bad. At least he was good-looking. Madam Yang was not short of money, so basically it was good to find a boyfriend who was pleasing to the eye.

When she was young, Tang Man was afraid that Yang Qing was simple-minded and easily deceived by those young people. Later, she found out that this person was heartless and only cared about her own happiness. Anyway, in the end, the person crying was never her. Tang Man completely stopped caring about this woman, and in any case, the loss would not be suffered by her own people.

However, now Tang Man sensed some changes in Yang Qing and couldn’t help but feel a headache.

She realized that Madam Yang’s current boyfriend might be a little different from the usual ones.

This meant a lot of trouble.

First of all, for Tang Man, her father’s side was an unexploded bomb. If her father found out about this, the first trouble would definitely fall on her.

An infinite sense of annoyance suddenly swept over her heart.

Madam Yang was just learning through the conversation that the young man sitting opposite not only went to the same university as her, but also attended the same high school. Her face showed pleasant surprise.

Tang Man was also a little surprised, but when she met Pei Ling’s gaze, he just smiled at her. She suddenly had a feeling that perhaps he had known about this coincidence for a long time.

There was also a kind of subtle feeling, perhaps also a kind of illusion. She always felt that the young man in front of her looked very familiar.

She must have seen him recently.

But that’s how people are. When you want to remember something, you just can’t remember it. It’s not until later, when you stop insisting, that you suddenly have a flash of insight and understand.

None of them had the habit of talking while eating, especially at a table with others like this. Tang Man had always paid attention to etiquette, mainly because Yang Qing, although usually casual, performed very politely on such occasions.

Until now, Tang Man still couldn’t understand how Yang Qing’s family, who lived in the streets and alleys and were all ordinary people, could have raised such an odd one like Madam Yang. The highest education in the family was Yang Qing, who had graduated from university and was a favorite in the old Yang family.

At the end, Tang Man ate a small bowl of dessert to cleanse her palate, put down her bowl and chopsticks, and after saying a few words with the others, Madam Yang said she was going to the washroom for a while. Tang Man also couldn’t stay seated there, so after glancing at Pei Ling and the others, she also went out with Madam Yang.

After going out the door and walking a few steps, when she saw that there was no one around, Tang Man turned her head to look at the beauty beside her.

When the two of them walked together, most people thought they were sisters with some age difference, not mother and daughter. It was really because Yang Qing had also been well taken care of over the years and had maintained herself very well. Only when close up could one barely see some fine lines.

She walked a few more steps, looked at Yang Qing’s expression, and spoke up, “Mom, are you thinking of marrying Mr. Gu?”

Yang Qing turned her head, a little surprised, “How did you know?”

Tang Man didn’t make a sound, just stopped and looked at her.

Yang Qing also stopped. This was a corridor, with no place to hide in front or behind, and one could see the people coming and going at a glance. It was a good place to talk.

Yang Qing smiled, “It looks like you guessed it.”

She was already in her early forties. Because she had given birth to Tang Man early, her figure had not gone out of shape. Coupled with good maintenance, she probably didn’t let many celebrities go. The only setback she had encountered in her life was her ex-husband’s infidelity and divorce.

But life after the divorce was also carefree. She had never been hurt, and even when she had a fever or a cold, there were a lot of people rushing to offer her favors.

As a result, even at the age of forty, her speech still revealed a hint of naivety.

The image of Mr. Gu’s appearance surfaced in Tang Man’s mind. He was handsome and looked very young, no more than thirty years old. But rich people were all good at maintaining themselves, so it was hard to say for sure.
