Flash Marriage, Deep Love-Chapter 44 Inviting to a Meal

Mi Jing and Mi Wan walked hand in hand on the main road of the community. At this moment, the sun was warm, bathing them in golden sunlight, and they felt a cozy warmth all around them.

As they walked, Mi Jing’s gaze was inevitably drawn to the hopscotch grid drawn not far ahead on the ground. She excitedly pulled Mi Wan towards it, pointing to the ground, and said, "Sis, let’s play hopscotch!"

"This... it won’t look good if people see us, right?" Mi Wan looked troubled. She was in her thirties after all, playing a children’s game. If the neighbors saw them, they would probably laugh.

"If others want to watch, let them watch. As long as we’re happy!" Mi Jing didn’t care about others’ opinions at all. She picked up two small tiles from the flowerbed nearby, handing one to Mi Wan.

Seeing Mi Jing’s face filled with joy, Mi Wan didn’t want to spoil the fun, so she decided to act tough and accompany Mi Jing in her childish game.

The game’s order was determined by rock-paper-scissors, and Mi Jing won, so she jumped first.

"Sis, you need to put in more effort this time! I’m about to win!" Mi Jing jumped a few squares energetically, proudly showing off to Mi Wan.

Mi Wan smiled softly, looking at Mi Jing’s bright smile two meters away. She suddenly remembered the happy times of their childhood.

When they were little, after school and before dinner, Mi Jing would always drag her to play hopscotch or roller skate. No matter how their parents called, they wouldn’t go home until it was completely dark.

"It’s not over until it’s over! Who knows who will win?" Faced with Mi Jing’s boasting, Mi Wan’s competitive spirit ignited.

Soon, Mi Wan was no longer restrained. She completely let go and happily immersed herself in the game, as if she had returned to the shared childhood with Mi Jing.

Jumping up, landing, they were no longer little children, but their movements remained light, their smiles remained bright, and their hearts remained cheerful.

"Oh yeah, I won!"

In the end, Mi Jing won. As always, she cheered happily and excitedly said to Mi Wan, "Sis, you lost, so according to the old rule, you have to agree to one of my requests."

"No problem." Mi Wan agreed straightforwardly as always, without any frustration or unwillingness from losing the game.

"Haha, then you have to treat me to a big meal. I get to decide the time and place."

"Can’t you ask for something else?" Mi Wan rolled her eyes at Mi Jing, thinking, can’t she be a bit more creative? From childhood to adulthood, every time she won a game, her requests were always related to food.

"I don’t really want anything else!" Mi Jing threw the small tile back into the flowerbed, clapped her hands, and asked, "Sis, do you want to go for a walk? Didn’t you say you wanted to visit the place where I used to teach as a volunteer? How about you find some time to go?"

Back in her senior year, Mi Jing had gone to a remote town to volunteer as a teacher with Ruan Pianran. To her, it was a tough life experience and a deeply memorable one. When leaving the town, Mi Jing used the money sent by Mi Wan and her cousin to build a new classroom there, named after the town, called "Paradise."

"Okay... never mind, let’s talk about it later."

Mi Wan started to say okay but then paused. Thinking about her daughter, she immediately dismissed the idea of going far away. She had always wanted to visit the beautiful "Paradise" town Mi Jing talked about, but caring for her daughter had always prevented her from finding the opportunity.

And now with the pending divorce from Song Guotao, it was even less likely. How could she only think of herself and leave her daughter alone?

"Don’t worry about Xuanxuan, Mom and Dad and I will take care of her," Mi Jing understood Mi Wan’s concerns and said, "Besides, you don’t have to go immediately. You can plan it out and go when the time is right." freewebnσvel.cѳm

Mi Jing just didn’t want Mi Wan to bottle things up. She wanted her to do something she was interested in to distract herself.

"Hmm, I’ll see if I can plan it." Mi Wan pulled Mi Jing to sit on the grass, looking at the blue sky, and said softly, "Actually, I’ve already made it through the worst times. Compared to that unforgettable pain, Song Guotao’s betrayal is nothing."

Towards Song Guotao, Mi Wan had complete trust and habitual dependence. Between them, it had always been plain and ordinary, without deep love or passionate romance. All in all, there was far more kinship than love. Losing a loved one was certainly painful, but pain would fade, just as the heartache of losing Ji Dongquan eventually faded. No matter how painful, time would erase that pain, and life would return to normal.

"...Can’t forget Brother Ji?" Mi Jing cautiously asked.

"It’s not that I can’t forget, it’s just that occasionally I dream about him." This was the deepest secret buried in Mi Wan’s heart. Whether before or now, she only shared this secret with Mi Jing.

"Sigh." Mi Jing sighed regrettably and helplessly, wanting to comfort Mi Wan but not knowing how. Twelve years had passed; was there still hope between her sister and Brother Ji?

If miracles exist, she truly hoped one would happen for her sister.

"Don’t sigh, life can’t be perfect. Compared to some people, I am already very happy." Mi Wan smiled contentedly.

"But I want you to be happier." Without thinking, these words just slipped out of Mi Jing’s mouth.

"Haha, you are my ’more happiness.’ Not everyone has such a cute sister like you." Mi Wan pinched Mi Jing’s nose and said with a smile, "Don’t worry, your sister is not a pitiable abandoned woman. Before long, someone will personally invite me back to work."

Six years ago, when Mi Wan found out she was pregnant, she resolutely quit her job at the law firm, giving up her bright future and leaving the promotion opportunity to Song Guotao. She willingly left the workplace to become a full-time housewife.

In the past six years, Mi Wan had devoted most of her energy to her family and children, handling all trivial matters patiently, be it hosting Song Guotao’s relatives who came by for money or help, or taking care of their daughter’s daily needs. She dealt with everything personally, never delegating or complaining.

Because of this, Mi Jing often felt distressed for Mi Wan. It was one thing to give up a good job, but to work like a servant without complaint was too much.

What virtues or abilities did Song Guotao possess to marry such a great wife like her sister?

He had obviously struck gold but didn’t know how to be grateful, let alone cherish her. What’s worse, he despised her!

In Mi Jing’s heart, Mi Wan held the highest place. She wasn’t just an elder sister; on Mi Jing’s journey of growing up, Mi Wan also played the roles of teacher, best friend, and partly a mother. So Mi Jing’s feelings for Mi Wan were even deeper than those for their parents.
