"Oh, this just reminded me," Fan Bingbing suddenly picked up her phone from the table and showed something to Xu Mey. "I received this over the weekend."
Xu Mey looked at the clear photo in which Wu w.a.n.g was having dinner with Yang Ziyi and the biggest shocker for her was the fact that he actually took that doctor to his favorite restaurant! "Oh my! When did this happen? And how? And why am I the last person to know about such big news?" Xu Mey clearly lost her composure as she took the phone from Fan Bingbing"s hand and tried to examine the photo. "Who sent it to you?"
"Jun Li Na sent me the pictures on Friday night. At first, I didn"t believe these photos since I know my son very well. But then she even sent me a clip where w.a.n.g was actually talking with a big smile on his face." Fan Bingbing"s happiness could be seen on her face clearly.
"What"s really going on here?" Xu Cheng had to ask since the ladies before him had completely disregarded his presence.
"Dad, look at this." Xu Mey showed the photos to Xu Cheng who still didn"t get the gist of this situation at all.
"What am I supposed to see here? Isn"t it just Wu w.a.n.g having dinner with a girl?" Xu Cheng voiced out uncertainly while the ladies before him shook their heads at him.
"Dad, you don"t understand... w.a.n.g Ge doesn"t take girls out for dinner. In the past years, he was a playboy whose love affair ended within hours. He would never offer dinner to a girl. As in like never ever. This is huge!" Although Xu Cheng still wasn"t sure about the situation, since the matter made Xu Mey seem so excited, he chose to nod as if he understood everything.
"Little Mey, I told you in the hospital that she"d be a good match for him." Fan Bingbing boasted about being right from the beginning.
"I was a bit skeptical before but now, I think Auntie you"re right. She is the one!" Even Xu Mey agreed.
"Okay!" Fan Bingbing clapped her hands like an excited kid and said, "Now, you look into her background and family. I"ll set them up at all costs." Seeing the conviction on her face, Xu Mey nodded her head.
"You don"t worry at all, Auntie. I"ll get all the details for you..." After getting over this topic, Xu Mey suggested, "Auntie, join me and dad for dinner."
Fan Bingbing touched her face affectionately. "Sorry little Mey, I have to get back now. Go out with your dad this time. I"ll join you guys some other day." Xu Mey was a bit upset but she still nodded and see Fan Bingbing off all the way out to her car.
After seeing her off, Xu Mey turned to her father, "Dad, let"s go out for dinner," she wrapped her hands around her father"s arm and dragged him with herself without waiting for his reply at all. Xu Cheng naturally had no issue with spending time with his daughter at all.
She had brought Xu Cheng to a French restaurant and as they were waiting for the food, Xu Mey kept trying to read her father"s mind. She didn"t know what exactly what she was looking for... Perhaps, she wanted to know whether he was really as strong as he was trying to appear before Fan Bingbing or not.
"Dad," she called out softly.
"Hmm..." he hummed in response.
"You never really told me about your first wife." Xu Cheng was startled to hear her sentence. He had expected this question from Xu Mey for a long time but she never really asked. What made her ask about this today?
"What do you want to know about her?" Xu Cheng asked offhandedly or at least he tried to seem offhanded.
"Anything... For instance, where did you guys meet? How did you meet? Most importantly, why did you fall in love with her?" Xu Mey gave a string of questions for him to answer.
Xu Cheng took a sip of water to ease up the sudden burn and opened his mouth to speak, "I met her in Country A. We met through a mutual friend..." He pursed his lips taking a break to think what else to say. "As for how I fell in love with her... Love is like an accident. It just happens. I can"t possibly tell you how it happened."
"Why not?" Xu Mey knitted her brows together.
Xu Cheng touched the s.p.a.ce between her brows with his finger and said, "Because love is a mystery one can only feel... If words could describe this mystery, love wouldn"t be a wonder anymore."
Xu Mey nodded her head in understanding since even she had learned that falling in love was a mystery. Even today, she won"t be able to describe what love is if one asked her about it. So, it was obvious that even her dad couldn"t tell her the specific reason for which he fell in love.
Xu Mey suddenly was reminded of a quote someone once read to her, "You are a mystery to me, yet so familiar. Like a song I"ve never heard before, and a tune I"ve known my entire life." She realized the reality of this quote today. Love stays a mystery until someone enters your life to solve this mystery with you.
