Flash Marriage, Deep Love-Chapter 96: Reunion after a Long Separation

At 4:35 in the afternoon, Mi Wan drove to the entrance of the kindergarten. As soon as she parked the car, she saw Song Guotao standing in a corner of the entrance with Xuanxuan in his arms. They were chatting and laughing, looking very happy and joyful.

"Mommy."

As soon as Mi Wan got out of the car, Xuanxuan’s excited voice suddenly floated over. Instantly, Mi Wan had to gather her spirits and smiled as she walked towards them.

"Mommy, Daddy said he would take Xuanxuan to the amusement park on Saturday. Will you come too?" Xuanxuan said with a beaming smile, her eyes almost squinting shut from happiness.

Mi Wan definitely did not want to go. Having Song Guotao there would make her feel uncomfortable, but seeing Xuanxuan so happy, she couldn’t bear to refuse her.

A child is easily satisfied and doesn’t easily hold grudges. Even though Xuanxuan was still a bit angry with Song Guotao that day, the anger dissipated overnight. She even spoke well of him from time to time, clearly expressing her wish that her parents wouldn’t separate.

"Mommy, is it okay? Xuanxuan really wants to go to the amusement park!" Xuanxuan started clamoring again when Mi Wan hadn’t spoken for a while, pouting and acting cute.

"Xuanxuan..."

"Tall Uncle!"

Just as Mi Wan opened her mouth to speak, Xuanxuan’s attention was suddenly caught by a tall figure two or three meters away. Excited and thrilled, she shouted, drawing Mi Wan’s and Song Guotao’s attention to that figure.

Ji Dongquan?

So he is the Tall Uncle?

Looking at Ji Dongquan approaching with elegant steps, both Mi Wan and Song Guotao were stunned at the same time, though Mi Wan’s shock was mixed with a bit of surprise and excitement, while Song Guotao’s eyes held alertness, wariness, and hostility. He had devised a thorough plan to win Mi Wan’s heart back, but he hadn’t accounted for Ji Dongquan’s sudden appearance!

"Tall Uncle!"

Xuanxuan was immersed in her own joy and excitement, not noticing her parents’ unusual reactions. She called out twice more, each time more joyful than the last.

"Xuanxuan, this is the doll Uncle promised you last time. See if you like it," Ji Dongquan said calmly as he walked up to Mi Wan, facing Song Guotao and the Xuanxuan in his arms, and handed the box he was holding.

"Wow! Tall Uncle is the best!" Xuanxuan cheered as she happily took the gift. Looking at the exquisite blonde Barbie doll inside the box, her smile almost reached her ears, "Thank you, Uncle! Xuanxuan loves it! This Barbie doll is even prettier than Xiao Mei’s!"

The only one in their class who had a beautiful Barbie doll was Xiao Mei. Although most children in the class didn’t like Xiao Mei, many girls played with her because she had a Barbie doll. Now that Xuanxuan had her own Barbie doll, she thought gleefully, more children would want to play with her in the future.

Watching Xuanxuan’s happy look, a faint smile tugged at the corners of Ji Dongquan’s lips. Then he turned slightly, lowered his head a bit, and gazed gently at the surprised Mi Wan, "Long time no see, Wanwan."

Yes, it certainly had been a long time. Since their breakup, it had been eleven years since they last saw each other.

Thinking back, time had flown. Eleven springs and autumns had passed in the blink of an eye. They thought they would each grow old separately without ever crossing paths again, but unexpectedly, they had met by chance.

In the years immediately after their breakup, she often couldn’t help but fantasize about the scene of their reunion. Perhaps they would run into each other on the street, perhaps meet unexpectedly at a school celebration, or perhaps he would suddenly appear at her apartment building, waiting patiently as he used to. And so on, and so forth...

But on this afternoon, eleven years later, before sunset, here they were, meeting again for the first time in a scene like this.

In her daughter’s cheers, under the watchful eyes of her ex-husband, he appeared before her, dazzling, elegant, and unhesitatingly stood close to her.

Now, he had shed the awkwardness of youth. Dressed in a suit, his entire being exuded a mature and steady aura. There was a sharpness and wisdom in his eyes, and though he no longer looked youthful, he was still as handsome as ever.

Is it really him?

Mi Wan suddenly felt a bit dazed, raising her head slightly and looking at Ji Dongquan with a somewhat dreamy gaze. Almost murmuring to herself, she softly said, "Long time no see."

"Mommy, Uncle, you know each other?" Xuanxuan’s excitement hadn’t dissipated. Noticing the interaction between Ji Dongquan and Mi Wan, she asked loudly, her little face full of surprise.

"Yes. We’ve known each other for a long time," Ji Dongquan said with a smile. He liked Xuanxuan very much. His eyes squinted slightly with his smile, and his normally stern demeanor softened.

"So, are you good friends?" Xuanxuan asked curiously, her eyes widening a bit.

"No, Uncle’s relationship with your mommy is closer than good friends."

Ji Dongquan naturally draped his long arm over Mi Wan’s shoulder, gently holding her, evidently portraying them as intimate lovers.

Seeing the two of them standing so intimately together, Song Guotao was instantly taken back to eleven years ago. At that time, he had a secret crush on Mi Wan, watching her every day. She was beautiful and quiet, not talking much, only showing her beautiful smile to Ji Dongquan.

Therefore, he was jealous of Ji Dongquan, almost maddeningly jealous, and this jealousy had continued for the past eleven or twelve years.

At first, he was jealous because Ji Dongquan had won Mi Wan’s heart. Later, for seven long years, he was crazily jealous that Ji Dongquan had taken Mi Wan’s virginity, tarnishing her pure and beautiful self!

Ji Dongquan’s appearance now reignited the jealousy he had buried deep inside, causing him to immediately scold angrily, "Ji Dongquan, take your hand off! Mi Wan is my wife, please respect yourself!"

"Respect myself?" Ji Dongquan laughed coldly and said, "What right do you have to say that to me?"

"Because I am Xuanxuan’s father."

Yes, he was Xuanxuan’s father. If Xuanxuan weren’t there, he would worry that a confrontation might scare her and Mi Wan. Otherwise, he would definitely throw a punch at him! How could he allow this man to be so arrogant in front of him!

"Xuanxuan, are you hungry? Uncle will take you to dinner, okay?" Ji Dongquan withdrew his sharp gaze from Song Guotao, smiling gently as he asked Xuanxuan.

"Uncle, are you fighting with Daddy?" Perceiving the tension between Song Guotao and Ji Dongquan, Xuanxuan was a bit puzzled and nervous. She liked both Daddy and Uncle, of course hoping they could get along like good friends. But seeing Song Guotao’s angry face, Xuanxuan lost interest in food and didn’t answer Ji Dongquan’s question; instead, she asked back.
