After the female supporting character in the quick transmigration series realized her mistakes

Chapter 253 The Awakening of a Single Mother (Part 9)

The restaurant owner, who was entertaining guests nearby, heard a customer calling out and quickly replied, "I'm here."

Upon seeing Wenchan, he greeted her with a smile, "Beautiful lady, what would you like to drink? We have all kinds of flavors here. Look, we have cantaloupe, papaya, coconut... What flavor would you like?"

Wen Chan was looking at the order form handed to her by the proprietress, while the proprietress's incessant introduction could be heard in her ears.

Although she already knew what flavor of milk tea she wanted, Wen Chan still pretended to look at the order form handed to her by the proprietress.

He put the order down again, looked at the proprietress and said, "I'd like one watermelon flavor and one chocolate flavor."

The proprietress asked Wenchan, "Okay, would you like to go or drink it here?"

Wen Chan, "Pack it up."

The proprietress readily nodded, "Okay, please wait a moment, beautiful lady, it will be ready in ten minutes."

Seeing the busy owners and their wives, as well as the customers sitting opposite each other in the shop, Wen Chan pulled her son to sit down in a nearby spot to wait.

The two of them drank milk tea as they walked and looked around. When they saw clothes they liked, they went inside to take a look.

Wen Chan realized that her son's clothes were getting too short, so she went to a children's clothing store.

I looked at several stalls at the night market but wasn't satisfied with any of them, so in the end I had no choice but to go to a physical store to take a look.

I looked at two stores, and finally tried on a set of overalls and a tracksuit at the last one. The owner was watching me and kept saying nice things to me.

“Your son looks especially good in this outfit. The cut and style of the clothes are also trendy this year, and the color is dirt-resistant.”

The proprietress is lying so easily. It's only the beginning of the year, how come these clothes are already in fashion?

But Wen Chan was also satisfied with the outfit, so she didn't say anything.

After trying on several more sets, Wen Chan decided that if she liked this one, she should buy a few more sets, otherwise it would be too much trouble to go shopping at other stores.

I bought one set of spring clothes, three sets of summer clothes, one set of overalls, one set of sportswear, two shirts, and two pairs of jeans.

Seeing that Wen Chan was willing to buy clothes for her child, the shop owner continued to recommend other styles to her.

The proprietress saw that the customer was really not interested, so she gave up, but she still tried to sell on him. She was very talkative and said that she would save the new models for Wenchan. In the end, she got excited and asked Wenchan if she had a QQ number and if so, she would add her. They started chatting about QQ.

They were having a great chat when another customer came in.

The proprietress looked up at the entrance and casually said, "Welcome! Kids, please take a closer look at what styles of clothes you like. If you like them, you can try them on."

Wen Chan watched the proprietress busily working with her hands and constantly greeting the customers, and she was filled with admiration.

Seeing that the proprietress was almost done packing, Wen Chan called to her son, who was still looking around, "Ah Xuan, come here quickly, we're leaving."

Upon hearing Wen Chan's voice, the entering guest exclaimed in surprise, "Wen Chan?"

Hearing someone call her name, Wen Chan turned to look at the familiar person who came in through the door, and was pleasantly surprised.

"Lu Shaoqing?"

When Lu Shaoqing saw that it was Wen Chan, his joy was written all over his face. "It really is you, Wen Chan! Oh my, it's been so long! It's been a year since we last met, hasn't it?"

After her initial surprise, Wen Chan was somewhat embarrassed by Lu Shaoqing's enthusiasm and didn't know what to say next.

After all, the two had some ambiguous relationship before, and after Wen Chan rejected her, Lu Yuanqing resigned, so she always thought it was because of her.

Looking back now, I realize I was naive. It was probably just that Lu Yuanqing wanted to leave the company, but confessed his feelings to her before doing so.

She had felt guilty towards Lu Shaoqing before, but not because of feelings.

It was because of his departure that she felt the factory offered good benefits, and no one would want to leave her factory.

Wen Chan genuinely had no intention of getting married. It was his business if he had feelings for her, and it was her business if she rejected him.

"Yes, it's been a year since we last met, hasn't it? Where are you working now?" Wen Chan didn't know how to make small talk, so she could only ask a few dry questions.

Lu Shaoqing was even happier to see that Wen Chan still cared about him. It seemed that even after a year, Wen Chan still remembered him.

“I now work at a clothing factory on Huaixi Road. The boss is from my hometown, so I feel more comfortable working there.”

So you were already preparing to leave last year? Honestly, why didn't you say so sooner? I felt guilty for so long.

Wen Chan thought back to the past. Actually, they used to get along quite well. Lu Shaoqing was divorced, and Wen Chan was widowed. Both of them were single and raising their children. Nosy colleagues even tried to pair them up.

But Wen Chan would always explain that she wouldn't get married, and Lu Shaoqing would also say that he didn't have that intention at the moment, so gradually everyone stopped worrying about it.

Unless someone deliberately sabotages things, no one has the time to keep staring at other people's gossip. Therefore, the affair between Wen Chan and Huang Xianhai in their previous life must have been fueled by someone.

Wen Chan felt Lu Shaoqing looking at her, but she didn't dare to look back. Instead, she looked at the two children behind Lu Shaoqing.

"Xiao Yuan and Xiao Shan have grown so tall already, and it's only been a year! They've grown so fast!" The two children are pretty and don't look much like Lu Shaoqing; they probably look like their mother.

Lu Shaoqing's two children are twins, a boy named Lu Yuan and a girl named Lu Shan. They are three years older than Wenxuan and should be eleven years old now.

When Lu Shaoqing saw Wen Chan praising the two children, he was also very proud. Although he had divorced his wife a long time ago, he had never mistreated the two children, acting as both father and mother to them.

When he divorced his wife, his two children were only two or three years old. Because the children were still young, he never thought about getting married, fearing that his stepmother would be bad and abuse his two children.

Seven or eight years passed in the blink of an eye, until I met Wenchan.

At first, he only had a good impression of her and thought that marrying such a woman wouldn't be bad.

Wen Chan has bright eyes and white teeth, and is very feminine. Any man would like her appearance and temperament. She is also gentle and beautiful, and very patient with children. She is simply an ideal candidate for a second marriage.

At first, he only thought that Wen Chan would be a good wife and a good mother, and that if the two of them got married, he would love and pamper her.

Unfortunately, this was just wishful thinking on his part; Wen Chan had no such intention at all.

Later, colleagues and friends jokingly tried to get Wenchan to marry him, but Wenchan always refused, saying he didn't want to get married, so he gave up on the idea.

Later, the two became friends. When Wen Chan had free time, she would help him take care of his children, help Lu Shan take a bath, and so on. If Wen Chan had any difficulties, Lu Shaoqing would also help her.

For example, he would help change gas cylinders or fix faulty wiring in the house; he would lend a hand to Wenchan whenever she was inconvenienced.

Wen Chan felt that it was not bad for the two of them to help each other through life. However, Lu Shaoqing fell in love with this woman who was a few years younger than him but very charming, as they spent their days together.

So when his friend asked him to join him after he went solo, Lu Shaoqing hesitated for a long time. Firstly, he couldn't bear to part with Wen Chan, and secondly, starting from scratch was too risky.

Later, after repeated invitations from his friends, he decided to take the gamble.

So before leaving his job, he confessed his feelings to Wen Chan, and unsurprisingly, he was rejected.
