You’re Still Alive!

“Meimei, I’m not criticising you but uyou’ve been by Zhenting’s side for six years and still haven’t been able to give birth to a single child. Whose fault is that? If you had a child, you and Zhenting would have your own flesh and blood. Even if Shen Ning comes back and discovers that secret, Zhenting wouldn’t mistreat you because of the child. But why is your belly so uncooperative?” Lan Feiyun frowned, lecturing her daughter.

Shen Mei’s tears welled up again as she stomped her feet.

“Mom, do you think I don’t want to? But in these six years, Zhenting has never touched me. How am I supposed to have a child by myself?”

“Ah…” Lan Feiyun’s eyes widened.

She had never imagined the situation between her daughter and Zheng Zhenting was like this! No wonder he had been hesitant to marry her daughter!

Shen Mei cried even more miserably and sorrowfully.

“Crying, crying, all you know is how to cry. Are you a dead person? Even if Zhenting isn’t interested in you, he’s still a man. Can’t you think of a way? As the saying goes, when a man pursues a woman, it’s like crossing a mountain. But when a woman pursues a man, it’s like a veil separating them. As long as a woman has some wits, knows how to please a man, what man can resist? It’s just your own foolishness.”

Lan Feiyun sat down beside Shen Mei, exhaling in frustration, and whispered lowly.

Ah, why was her daughter so foolish? She never listened to her!

In the largest spice market in the city…

Shen Ning lowered her head as she meticulously searched for an essential ingredient in the spices: Peru balsam.

“Boss, do you have any Peru balsam from North America?”

“No.”

…

After asking several shops in a row, she received the same response each time. Shen Ning’s mood soured.

Several formulas in Guqi’s perfumes required this balsam, and it had to be sourced from North America. Yet, she couldn’t find it in the largest spice market in the city.

It was unbelievable!

Although Peru balsam was precious, it wasn’t rare in North America. Any reputable large spice shop would have it.

But now, none of them did!

Her brows furrowed tightly.

“Sorry, I’m sorry.” Lost in her thoughts, she suddenly bumped into a solid chest. She quickly apologized.

“Ningning, is that you?” To her surprise, a voice filled with delight came from the person she bumped into. “You’re really alive.”

She looked up and there stood a young man in a royal blue suit, radiating elegance and sophistication. His eyes were sharp and lively, expressing his joy.

Jing Chenxi!

She was stunned for a moment, then turned to walk away.

“Ningning, don’t go.”

Jing Chenxi grabbed her, his expression filled with concern, and asked, “Where are you now? I’ve been searching for you for so many years.”

Shen Ning shook her head, feeling a pang of sorrow.

If she had admired Li Zhenting so much in her past life, then Jing Chenxi’s admiration for her was equally intense.

She had followed in Li Zhenting’s footsteps, with her heart and eyes fixated on him. Even if she married him and endured his humiliation, she would gladly accept it.

And Jing Chenxi’s pursuit of her had almost reached a level of madness, constantly besieging her.

Unfortunately, she was blinded by her own ignorance, not giving him even a glimmer of hope.

She felt guilty towards him to the point where she no longer wanted to see him.

“Ningning, since we’ve encountered each other, let’s go to that café over there.” Jing Chenxi requested cautiously, still as humble and considerate as before, evoking sympathy.

After a moment of silence, Shen Ning nodded.

Finally, they sat down in an upscale café.

Jing Chenxi came from a prestigious family, with generations involved in the spice business before branching into real estate.

To meet him here, Shen Ning felt it must be a serendipitous coincidence.

After all, this was the largest market for raw spice materials in the entire city, closely connected to his family’s business.
