Watching Pei Shanshan and Zhong Wenbo leave, Ruan Xingwan took a breath and looked away.
Jiang Chuning followed Ruan Xingwan into the office and sat opposite her with her chin in one hand: "Sister, did Sister Shanshan go on a date?"
Ruan Xingwan shook his head: "No, she..."
Ruan Xingwan didn't know how to explain this kind of thing to Jiang Chuning.
Jiang Chuning sighed: "Actually, I can tell."
"What do you see?"
"Sister Shanshan doesn't like that boy."
Ruan Xingwan smiled when he heard this: "Where did you see it?"
Jiang Chuning said: "When you look at Zhou Cishen, there are stars in your eyes."
Ruan Xingwan: "..."
Jiang Chuning continued: "But when Sister Shanshan looked at that boy, her expression was very reluctant. She was probably forced by her parents to get along with him, but she probably doesn't dislike the boy very much, she just regarded him as a friend."
Ruan Xingwan asked curiously: "How do you know it's your parents?"
Jiang Chuning curled his lips: "I am experienced in this kind of thing."
Ruan Xingwan smiled lightly, too.
She almost forgot that Jiang Chuning secretly followed them to Nancheng to avoid her engagement with Jiang Shanghan.
Jiang Chuning thought for a while and then said: "Sister, what does it feel like to like someone? Why do I feel like it's just like that? There's nothing special about it."
Ruan Xingwan said: "That's because you haven't met someone you really like yet."
Jiang Chuning said before that she liked Zhou Cishen because she wanted to cancel her engagement with Jiang Shanghan.
It seems that when I meet Xiaochen later, she will be a little shy and embarrassed, but this is the normal behavior of a girl of her age who is attracted to boys of similar age.
Jiang Chuning lay on the table: "I also want to one day meet someone who makes me have stars in his eyes when I look at him."
Ruan Xingwan said: "There will be."
…
In the restaurant.
After ordering, Pei Shanshan coughed: "That..."
Zhong Wenbo said: "Shanshan, I'm sorry that I came here without saying hello today and caused you trouble."
Pei Shanshan waved her hands quickly: "No, no, it's me who should apologize to you. It's all my mother. You don't need to take what she said to heart."
No one knows her mother's character better than Pei Shanshan. Zhong Wenbo must have been nagging her for a long time when she went back this time.
Zhong Wenbo smiled: "Auntie didn't say anything, she just cares about you."
Pei Shanshan sighed: "I know she cares about me, but..."
Seeing that she was hesitant to speak, Zhong Wenbo continued: "Since we have this opportunity to sit here again, let me speak frankly.
Shanshan, I have liked you since the first time I met you, and I think we had a good chat, but this may just be my wishful thinking."
Zhong Wenbo continued: "So this time I actually wanted to come to you, and my aunt happened to give me this opportunity.
If you think there is something I haven't done well enough, you can point it out directly. When two people are together, they have to work together."
Pei Shanshan said: "No, no, it's my reason, my reason..."
Pei Shanshan couldn't tell the specific reason. If her mother found out, she would be beaten to death.
Zhong Wenbo added: "Shanshan, I am not a macho person, and I can accept your previous emotional experiences, including my own, and my feelings are not blank.
But those are things in the past, and the future is more important, isn’t it?”
Pei Shanshan opened her mouth, unable to refute.
What he said does make sense.
Zhong Wenbo said: "I believe you can also feel it. Our parents are very satisfied with each other. There will definitely be no worries in terms of family in the future.
I came here today to say, can we try to have a relationship first on this basis?"
"I……"
"You don't have to rush to answer me now. Think about it carefully. After all, we are both young. Thinking carefully is also responsible for yourself and your parents."
He has already reached this point, and Pei Shanshan can only nod lightly: "Okay."
Soon, the waiter began to serve the food.
Zhong Wenbo also changed the subject: "Let's eat first."
…
At seven o'clock in the evening, Ruan Xingwan left the studio and saw the man walking towards her.
Ruan Xingwan said: "Have you been waiting for a long time?"
Zhou Cishen said: "It depends on the time."
Ruan Xingwan raised the corners of his lips: "Let's go."
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Chuning came over and said, "Are you going out to eat?
What to eat?”
Zhou Cishen held her collar and lifted her away: "It's none of your business, go back by yourself."
Jiang Chuning stuck out her tongue at him and waved to Ruan Xingwan as she ran: "Sister, I won't disturb your date, go back first!"
Ruan Xingwan said: "Be safe on the road and send me a message when you get home."
"Know it."
After Jiang Chuning walked away, Zhou Cishen held Ruan Xingwan's hand and said, "Don't look at it. It's such a small distance and you can't walk away."
Ruan Xingwan looked away and asked, "Where are we going?"
Zhou Cishen said: "It's just the two of us, a place where we won't be disturbed."
Half an hour later, the car stopped at the entrance of Xinghu Mansion.
Zhou Cishen took her hand and walked inside, crossing the garden full of star lights.
The room is filled with rose petals, warm candlelight is swaying, and accompanied by soothing and sweet music, it is romantic and emotional.
Zhou Cishen raised her hand, kissed her gently, and said in a low and slow voice, "Welcome home, Mrs. Zhou."
Ruan Xingwan looked at everything in front of him, and the tip of his nose couldn't help but feel a little sore.
This place is what her dream home looks like.
It's a pity that after reinstalling it, I came back to live for a few days and then moved out again.
But this home is still incomplete until now.
Seeing her lowering her head, Zhou Cishen guessed what she was thinking and rubbed her head: "I'll take you to Jiangzhou on the weekend."
When Ruan Xingwan heard this, he quickly raised his head, his eyes bright: "But didn't you say before..."
Zhou Cishen raised his eyebrows slightly: "Wedding gift?"
Ruan Xingwan was stunned for a moment, then smiled again on his face.
Zhou Cishen led her to the dining table: "Eat first."
Ruan Xingwan sat down and looked at the food on the table: "Are they all cooked by Aunt Zhang?"
"I did it."
Ruan Xingwan: "..."
Zhou Cishen poured a glass of red wine and pushed it in front of her: "Which restaurant is your favorite? Let the chef come over and cook it."
Ruan Xingwan finally let go of the breath he held up.
She was even ready to go to the hospital after eating this meal.
Zhou Cishen picked up the wine glass in front of him, clinked it with hers, and said slowly: "I wish you a happy marriage, Ruan Xingwan."
Scenes from the past came to mind, and Ruan Xingwan had a smile on his lips: "I also wish you a happy marriage, Zhou Cishen."
