Chapter 308: Chapter 308: Are You Sure Xiaoxiao Took a Fancy to Me That Day?

Shibao Town

A woman, shifting her overweight body, slowly emerged from the pharmacy. This person was none other than Xiaoxiao’s close friend, Li Chuntao.

Initially, she didn’t understand how Xiaoxiao had fallen for Yang Ming at first sight and insisted on marrying him. But ever since she met Xiaoxiao’s younger uncle, she thought she could understand her feelings.

She decided to be as brave as Xiaoxiao had been in pursuing her happiness; she was determined to lose weight and stand before him in her best form.

However, reality was harsh. Three months had passed, and she hadn’t lost an ounce; she still weighed a full 200 kilograms, which made her increasingly anxious. So, she sneaked out without telling her family, thinking about seeing a doctor to seek help with weight loss.

After the doctor had prescribed her medicine, she had just stepped out of the pharmacy when she spotted a figure across the street. Wasn’t that Xiaoxiao’s husband, Yang Ming? She lumbered over to him, her hefty body twitching with each step.

Seeing that Xiaoxiao’s husband hadn’t noticed her and was about to leave, she called out in a frantic voice.

"Young Master Yang, wait, wait for me."

Yet Xiaoxiao’s husband continued walking without stopping, so she summoned all her strength and ran to block his path.

Chu Lian was walking peacefully when suddenly a large obstruction appeared in front of him. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a young woman. Although she was somewhat impolite in blocking his way, he still politely asked, "Miss, why do you block me?"

Li Chuntao realized she had been too abrupt in reaching out to stop someone. She withdrew her arms and quickly apologized, "Sorry, I called you, but you didn’t stop. I had no choice but to come forward and block you."

"Miss, do you know me?" Hearing her, Chu Lian became even more puzzled. This overweight girl appeared to know him.

"Yes, you might not have seen me before. I’m Xiaoxiao’s friend, Li Chuntao." Seeing the question, Li Chuntao generously introduced herself.

"Zhong Xiaoxiao?" Hearing Xiaoxiao’s name, Chu Lian felt a mix of surprise and astonishment. Xiaoxiao’s friend knew him—had Xiaoxiao perhaps mentioned him to her friends?

"Yes." Li Chuntao replied, though she was slightly puzzled. Had Xiaoxiao never mentioned her to her husband?

Chu Lian suddenly wanted to know the answer and actually asked it outright, "How do you know me? Did she tell you about me?"

"She took fancy to you right next to me." Li Chuntao said nonchalantly.

"..." The more he heard from this chubby girl, the less he understood. "Miss, could you explain a little more clearly?"

"Hey, it was that day when I was with Xiaoxiao on the street, and she saw you and fell in love at first sight. She insisted on marrying you."

Hearing this, Chu Lian was utterly shocked. He grabbed Li Chuntao’s shoulders, his emotions running high, "What did you say? Say that again."

Li Chuntao was startled by Chu Lian’s actions and struggled. "Young Master Yang, what’s wrong with you?"

Realizing his own lapse in behavior, Chu Lian quickly let go of her shoulders. "I apologize for my rudeness. What did you just call me?"

"Young Master Yang."

"Are you sure Xiaoxiao fancied me that day?"

"I’m sure. That day you were wearing a white suit. Xiaoxiao even said you were ’graceful and moving.’ Later, someone called your name, and you turned around. That’s how we knew your name was Yang Ming. Aren’t you two already married? Didn’t she tell you?"

Hearing this, Chu Lian felt as if thunder had struck on a clear day. That remarkable woman, because of his mistaken turn, had they really just missed each other?
