Reincarnation: I Married My Ex's Brother

Chapter 739: Silent Concern

After asking Zhuang Qilin for the address of Xiao Li’s customized wedding dress, Zhuang Long drove to that place.

When they really arrived at their destination, Zhuang Long cowered again.

He sat in the car and did not dare to get out. He could only peek at the scene in the bridal shop from a distance like a perverted peeping tom. He really saw Xiao Li and Bruce. Xiao Li had already changed into the wedding gown. She stood in the hall and allowed the shop assistants to adjust her skirt.

Bruce stood aside and looked at her quietly.

To be honest, the scene of them standing together was really compatible.

Zhuang Long refused to admit that Xiao Li was beautiful in a wedding dress.

She had put on a wedding gown for another man, but Zhuang Long could not help but take out his phone and secretly take a photo of that person’s side profile.

Inside the shop.

Soft music swirled in the house. Xiao Li stood in the wide room, wearing a wedding dress. She was unbelievably beautiful. She pulled the tube top closer and turned to ask Bruce, “What do you think?”

Bruce said, “It’s a little tight.”

However, Xiao Li said, “It’s only suitable if it’s tighter.”

“That’s true.”

Bruce looked at her seriously and his eyes turned red. He said, “It’s really beautiful. I can’t wait to hold a wedding.” Xiao Li looked at him deeply and said softly, “Soon, that day will come.”

“That’s right.”

Xiao Li slowly turned around in the mirror and sized up the wedding dress. However, in the mirror, she saw a white Audi parked by the street outside the window. Zhuang Long did not have many cars. There were only three cars in the garage, an Audi sedan, a Bugatti sports car, and an SUV.

Seeing it, Xiao Li’s heart ached.

Bruce realized that she was silent. She was staring at the mirror thoughtfully. He also looked in the mirror and did not see anything strange. However, he knew Xiao Li and knew that she must have seen something in the mirror to show such an expression.

The smart Bruce suddenly looked out of the window and saw Zhuang Long, who had rolled down the window to peek at them.

The two men were stunned when their eyes met.

Zhuang Long felt his face burn and he felt ashamed.

Zhuang Long quickly drove away.

Bruce pretended to be calm as if he did not notice anything strange. He said to Xiao Li, “If there’s no other problem, this is it.” He was referring to the wedding dress on Xiao Li.

Xiao Li said, “This is it.”

The wedding dress was very beautiful, and she looked very good in it. It was perfect.

…

Zhuang Long drove for a distance before realizing that he had driven to a busy city.

The end of spring was almost over. Summer was coming, and the city was starting to become lively. There was a commotion around him, but Zhuang Long seemed to not be able to hear the commotion. He was trapped in a lonely city. After parking the car by the roadside, Zhuang Long opened the photo album and self-deprecatingly admired Xiao Li’s wedding dress.

Their wedding was especially hasty. They only registered their marriage and did not even hold a wedding.

Zhuang Long suddenly felt that he had asked for it when she rejected him last night.

A twisted hatred suddenly arose in his heart. He especially wanted Bruce to disappear from this world. If he disappeared, Xiao Li would belong to him! This thought suddenly arose and shocked Zhuang Long. How could he do this!

Zhuang Long quickly got out of the car and bought a bottle of ice water to calm down.

He was really in a bad mood and really wanted to see his son, but his son was in school. Zhuang Long ran to the entrance of Zhuang Qilin’s primary school and ate a meal in the restaurant outside the school. Then, he ran to the supermarket to buy many expensive snacks and brought them to the guard.

He sent Zhuang Qilin a message.

Zhuang Long: [I brought you snacks. I’m at the school gate.]

Zhuang Qilin, who had just finished lunch and was planning to play soccer for a while, received this news. He dispersed from his friends and ran to the guard tower alone. Zhuang Qilin was wearing the same school uniform and a brown school uniform set. He looked a little like Xiao Li, but his temperament was cold. It was unknown who he looked like.

Zhuang Qilin stood behind the door and smiled at Zhuang Long.

He said, “Wait, I’ll get the security guards to let you in.”

Zhuang Qilin personally communicated with the security guard. After confirming that the person outside was his father, the guard allowed Zhuang Long to enter the campus. Zhuang Long took out his identity card and tapped in. He carried the bag of snacks and spoke to Zhuang Qilin as he went to the field.

Zhuang Qilin chose a bag of chips from the snacks. He ate one and said to Zhuang Long, “Mom doesn’t allow me to eat chips usually.”

“You have to eat less fried food.”

Zhuang Qilin looked up and asked his father, “Then why did you buy it for me?”

Zhuang Long said, “Because your mother isn’t around.”

Zhuang Qilin sneered, narrowed his eyes, and ate another potato chip.

“Those are my friends, Jackson and Jonathan.” Zhuang Qilin brought Zhuang Long to sit down in the stands. He said, “We’ll have a sports meet before the holidays. Do you want to come and watch?”

Zhuang Long was flattered and asked, “Can I come?”

“Of course.” Zhuang Qilin looked serious and said, “You’re my father. Of course you can.”

Zhuang Long nodded vigorously. “I’ll come!”

Zhuang Qilin added, “When I was in kindergarten, you only accompanied me to one parent and child meeting. The rest of the time, it was Mom who accompanied me. You don’t know, but there was a competition where we were asked to make steak and spaghetti. In the end, Mom fried the steak so much that she couldn’t bite it. She got one point for it, but the spaghetti received full marks.”

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Long revealed a guilty expression.

He asked Zhuang Qilin, “Why did she get full marks for the spaghetti she made?”

Zhuang Qilin said, “Mom only knows how to cook spaghetti. Sometimes, you don’t rest at all when you work. You have to eat something at night. Don’t you like spaghetti very much? When Mom comes back from work, she will deal with some work after dinner and personally cook spaghetti for you before you sleep.”

Zhuang Long’s smile froze.

He had never known that the spaghetti he often ate in the middle of the night was actually made by Xiao Li. He had always thought that it was made by a chef, and Xiao Li had never said anything.

Zhuang Long fell silent with mixed feelings.

Frustration and heartache ran rampant in his body. He closed his eyes and opened them again before he restrained his emotions.

“Um, does Bruce treat you well?”

Without hesitation, Zhuang Qilin said firmly, “Yes!” He chattered at the side, recounting all kinds of good things about Bruce. He did big gestures like giving his mother expensive gifts, and small gestures like giving him pens and small tokens.

When Zhuang Qilin mentioned Bruce, he was smiling.

He must really like Bruce.

Zhuang Long felt terrible. He knew that Zhuang Qilin liked Bruce, but he still asked, “Then do you like me?”
