‘Duan Hua, were we too harsh on big sister?’ Da Ming Sheng asked. ‘Big sister lost everything because of us.’
Da Ming Sheng didn’t think she did anything wrong. If she was a good person like Da Tian Ting, she would lose everything too.
‘Don’t sympathise with her anymore,’ Shang Duan Hua said.
‘But…’ Da Ming Sheng said.
‘No buts,’ Shang Duan Hua said. ‘It’s a good thing she’s not living in your home anymore. If she was, I’ll get you to move out. You must have suffered a lot living with a two faced person like her.’
‘Duan Hua…’ Da Ming Sheng said.
‘Forget her,’ Shang Duan Hua said. ‘We have a dinner function to attend tonight. Let’s go get ready.’
Da Ming Sheng wasn’t going to give Da Tian Ting a chance to steal Shang Duan Hua from her.
In the hair salon, Da Tian Ting thought about Feng Kai Ze’s words of encouragement. He was right, she deserved a happy future.
‘Wait, don’t use that shampoo brand for my hair!’ Da Tian Ting said.
Da Tian Ting didn’t want any a.s.sociation with Shang Duan Hua and Da Ming Sheng, including the shampoo brand that he liked.
‘Madam, what shampoo brand do you want me to use?’ the hairdresser asked.
‘I like all shampoo brands except for this one,’ Da Tian Ting said.
The hairdresser used a different shampoo brand to wash Da Tian Ting’s hair. He remembered Feng Kai Ze’s instruction not to mention Feng’s company in front of Da Tian Ting.
‘Madam, if the water temperature isn’t to your liking, I’ll change the water temperature,’ the hairdresser said.
‘I’m not a fussy person,’ Da Tian Ting said. ‘The truth is this is the first time another person washed my hair. It’s relaxing.’
‘Madam, if you come get your hair styled here often, you’ll get used to having your hair washed,’ the hairdresser said.
Feng Kai Ze wasn’t back from the bathroom. Da Tian Ting was worried he did a runner, and she fell into a trap. How was she going to pay if she didn’t have enough money on her?
‘Madam, I’m done washing your hair,’ the hairdresser said. ‘I’ll take you to your seat.’
‘Thank you,’ Da Tian Ting said.
‘Sir, do you know where the man I came here with is?’ Da Tian Ting asked.
‘No madam,’ the hairdresser said.
‘He’s the handsome man who always has a constipated expression on his face,’ Da Tian Ting said.
‘I’m sorry madam,’ the hairdresser said. ‘Every day I see a lot of stern handsome men bring their girlfriends here. I can’t tell them apart.’
‘Are you looking for me?’ Feng Kai Ze asked.
Da Tian Ting looked in the mirror. Feng Kai Ze’s magazine hid his face before so she didn’t see him sitting behind her.
‘I thought you did a runner and left me stranded,’ Da Tian Ting said.
‘If I did a runner, I wouldn’t be sitting here waiting for you,’ Feng Kai Ze said.
Feng Kai Ze wouldn’t ever abandon Da Tian Ting. He didn’t understand why she would think he was that kind of man.
‘Were you worried I left without you?’ Feng Kai Ze asked.
‘No,’ Da Tian Ting denied.
‘You don’t need to worry, I’ll never leave you,’ Feng Kai Ze said.
‘Really?’ Da Tian Ting asked.
‘Yes,’ Feng Kai Ze said.
Da Tian Ting thought she was worried for nothing. Even if Feng Kai Ze did a runner, she would call Ding Xiao Ran to come pay for her. But she was happy he didn’t leave her. She hated the feeling of being unwanted and abandoned.
‘Mr F…’ the hairdresser said.
‘Choose a suitable haircut for my girlfriend,’ Feng Kai Ze interrupted.
‘Yes sir,’ the hairdresser said.
