Finally, Jian Bishop stopped the car, took out two pieces of tissue paper, and handed them to her. "There is a noodle restaurant nearby. The store is small, but it has a good reputation. I'll go back and eat it."
After taking the tissue and wiping her eyes, Natasha Martin covered her face with her hands and leaned her head against it. "Jin said that we would always be friends... Jian Bishop, he really didn't love me."
"Miss, do you regret it?" Jian Bishop asked her, "Do you regret being with him?"
Natasha Martin thought for a moment, then shook her head. "I don't regret meeting him."
"That's enough," Jian Bishop said, "Sometimes, what's more pitiful than regret is that I haven't tried it."
Hearing Jian Bishop's words, Natasha Martin covered her eyes and couldn't help laughing. "Jian Bishop, you know a lot. You can be a life guide. How many girlfriends have you ever had?"
"It's basically true." Jian Bishop only answered
Finally, Natasha Martin took a deep breath and said, "Let's go to the noodle restaurant you mentioned. I really didn't eat anything tonight. I'm hungry."
"Okay."
Jian Bishop drove to a small noodle house.
The noodle house was located in a remote location. It was not a busy intersection, but beside a park.
Under the warm yellow street lamp, some special noodle spots were written on the simply decorated glass door of the noodle house. However, the smiling face of the customers in the restaurant and the steaming hot air in the bowl were filled with the smell of smoke and fire in the human world!
After opening the glass door and the two of them came in, Jian Bishop said, "Find a random place to sit. I'll order."
Natasha Martin found an empty table. It was not as luxurious and elegant as a high-end restaurant or a western restaurant. In front of her was a very civilian noodle restaurant. There was not even a table on the table. The slightly oily table showed that the business here was not bad.
After Jian Bishop ordered two bowls of noodles in front of her, she sat down opposite Natasha Martin. Seeing that she didn't dare to put her hands on the table, she said, "Miss Henry, you don't get used to it, do you? It's okay. The noodles here are quite good."
"When did you come here?" Natasha Martin asked him.
It was normal for Jian Qing to stay with her often. It should be the same on the occasion of coming and going. Why didn't she know that he had been to such a place?
The innkeeper poured two glasses of water and said, "Please wait for a while. You can drink some water first!"
"Thank you." Jian Bishop was polite and said with a smile, "There's no hurry."
He moved the glass in front of Natasha Martin.
The landlady glanced at Natasha Martin and said, "Oh, is this your girlfriend, Mr. Jian? She's so beautiful!"
Natasha Martin's eyes were wide open, her cheeks were slightly red, and her face was full of confusion!
"No," said Jian Bishop.
After the proprietress left, Natasha Martin glared at her and pointed at the proprietress. "You, do you know each other?"
"Last time when I came out to do business, I passed by here and ate a bowl of noodles here," Jian Bishop said, "the landlord of this shop saw that the business here was good, so he wanted to double the rent. I saw that the boss and lady boss here were in a dilemma, so I helped them to say a few words, so I remembered me."
"Is that the landlady?" Natasha Martin asked.
"Yes."
Natasha understood, so did she recognize Jian Bishop?
Jian Bishop thought that Natasha Martin might mind something, so she added, "This landlady is straightforward, but she has no malice. If she makes Miss Henry unhappy, you should be more understanding."
"I'm fine." Natasha Martin picked up the cup and took a sip of water. Then she looked at the cup and found that it was really plain water.
The rich young lady thought that there was no tea in the place where they ate, at least there would be lemon water or something.
"There are only two people in this shop. Boss and boss's wife. Boss is in charge of cooking noodles, and boss's wife is in charge of entertaining guests. Miss, do you think they live a happy life?" Jian Bishop suddenly asked her.
Natasha Martin looked at the lady boss in front of her, who was busy greeting guests, and the boss who called her from time to time. "Although the store is small, business looks good. It should be more than enough for these two couples to live. They look very harmonious, so they should be happy."
"In fact, they didn't get the marriage certificate," Jian Bishop said.
Natasha Martin looked at him.
"Their hometown is not here. The boss's wife ran away with a matchmaker mine merchant. The boss's husband made a bet that he lost all his hometown's house." Jian Bishop talked about the couple. "The boss and the boss's wife are very close to each other and support each other. They have a good life, but because their original wife is still there and they can't get divorced, they can only live together."
When Natasha Martin heard this incredible thing, she widened her eyes.
"That's how life is like," Jian Bishop said to her as she ate the noodles. "If you look up, you'll see someone whom you envy. If you look down, you'll see someone who has worked harder than you. If you look closer, you'll only see your own difficulties and feel sorry for yourself."
Natasha Martin looked at the noodles in the bowl, and her action of picking up the chopsticks slowed down.
"Take things easy." Jian Bishop said to her, "Miss Henry, you have a father and a mother, and your family is extravagant. You are young and beautiful. You have too many choices before you get married, so you don't have to be obsessed with a broken relationship."
Jian Bishop looked at the landlady and the boss over there. "Miss, do you think it's difficult for you or them?"
Natasha Martin looked over and saw the boss coming out of the kitchen with a dish in his hand. The innkeeper even went over to wipe the sweat on his forehead. They were talking and laughing, happy and loving!
"Do you think the former or the latter is admirable that a person who lives a hard life with a smile is compared with a person who lives a noble and glorious life with a sad face?" Jian Bishop asked her.
Natasha Martin pursed her lips and glared at him. "You're just criticizing me, aren't you? You're saying that there's no need for me to feel sorry for my broken heart?"
Jian Bishop revealed a beautiful smile. "You let her see it? I'm really sorry."
Natasha Martin snorted and lowered her head to eat her noodles.
"However, the noodles are indeed delicious."
"It's good that you like it."
Before leaving, the owner and the landlady of this noodle house came specially to send Jian Bishop and Natasha Martin off. The landlady said, "Mr. Jian, thank you so much last time. Otherwise, we can't afford it if our landlord really doubled the rent. We can only move away."
"It's no big deal," Jian Bishop said, "You have a lot of familiar guests here. It's a pity to move away."
"Alas, we are all working people. We are used to coming to the store after work. We are all very enthusiastic guests," the landlady said, "We are also reluctant to move, so thank you, Mr. Jian."
The silent boss also said, "Mr. Jian, next time you and your girlfriend come, we'll treat you."
"Hey, don't talk nonsense. I just asked. That's not Mr. Jian's girlfriend," the landlady said to the boss.
Jian Bishop looked at the other side of the car, and there was a faint smile on her lips. "Yes, she is my boss, and I am her housekeeper."
Natasha Martin had already gotten in the car and waited.
The proprietress and the boss were shocked!
"No wonder that lady looks so noble. She is indeed a lady from a rich family." The landlady sighed, and then looked at Jian Bishop, who stood straight and had an extraordinary temperament. "But Mr. Jian doesn't look like an ordinary person. He looks so different from ordinary people like us."
Jian Bishop smiled gently. "You two don't need to see me off. I wish you good luck."
The proprietress and the boss waved at them. "Mr. Jian, come back next time. We'll treat you!"
