It can be seen that Zhuang Ziyan is already a little drunk, so her emotions are particularly full at this time.
She looked at Lin Zhiming with slightly red eyes and said, "Actually, I don't love my husband."
"I can tell." Lin Zhiming nodded.
"He doesn't love me either. There is no emotional basis between the two of us," Zhuang Ziyan said.
"In that case, why do you still want to get married?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"Jianming's grandfather and my grandfather were close friends when we were young. They once made an agreement that if each other's children are a boy and a girl, then they will be in-laws in the future. If they are the same sex, then they will continue to the next generation. My grandfather
My father gave birth to a boy, and Xia Jianming's grandfather also gave birth to a boy, Xia Jianming's father. Naturally, we couldn't be in-laws, and naturally it continued to my generation. Then I was a girl and Xia Jianming was a boy, so in
When we were young, the two of us made a marriage contract," Zhuang Ziyan said.
"In what age are you still playing tricks like getting married with fingertips?!" Lin Zhiming asked in astonishment.
"Do you also think this is ridiculous?" Zhuang Ziyan asked.
"Yes, it's very ridiculous." Lin Zhiming nodded.
"But such a ridiculous thing happened to me. In fact, I knew that I was engaged when I was young. However, my grandfather said that it was just a joke back then and could not be taken seriously, so I did not take him seriously.
Even Xia Jianming didn't take it seriously. We met several times when we were young, and no one mentioned the engagement. We took it for granted that such an engagement was a joke of the older generation.
But who would have thought that after I graduated from college, Xia Jianming's father came to the door with the engagement contract from that year and asked us to fulfill it..." Zhuang Ziyan said this and sighed helplessly.
"Why did Xia Jianming's father do this?" Lin Zhiming asked with a frown.
"This may have something to do with the family background of our two families. In the early years, our family and theirs were generally of the same family. Later, Xia Jianming's grandfather passed away, and the family began to decline, but our family was living smoothly.
"Shun Shui, my grandfather has become a highly respected person, so their family wants to let Xia Jianming marry me, so that they can use my grandfather's influence to drive their family." Zhuang Ziyan said.
"Is this just your guess?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"Although it is just my guess, it is basically close to ten, because Xia Jianming himself told me that if it were not for the family relationship, he would not marry me at all." Zhuang Ziyan said.
"He also said this?!" Lin Zhiming asked in shock.
"Yes, he was drunk that time, so he told me everything. He also said that he actually had a girlfriend before marrying me. They had a very good relationship, but his family finally forced him to
He broke up with his girlfriend, and then he came to marry me." Zhuang Ziyan said.
"This..." Lin Zhiming was really speechless by what Zhuang Ziyan said. This drama was somewhat similar to his marriage to Yao Jing back then. They were two people who were bound by family interests and didn't want to.
Loved ones are forcibly brought together.
This is a tragedy for both of them.
"You may not imagine that from marriage to now, the two of us have never slept in the same bed." Zhuang Ziyan said.
"I can imagine this." Lin Zhiming said.
"Can you imagine that?" Zhuang Ziyan looked at Lin Zhiming doubtfully.
"In fact, I married my first wife because of my family relationship..." Lin Zhiming briefly talked about his marriage to Yao Jing.
Zhuang Ziyan obviously didn't know that Lin Zhiming had such a past, so after hearing this, her face was full of shock.
"I didn't expect that we both experienced the same thing!" Zhuang Ziyan said.
"Fortunately, we later developed a relationship, and she will marry me in a few days." Lin Zhiming said with a smile.
"It can be considered that lovers finally get married." Zhuang Ziyan said enviously.
"That's true... But didn't your grandfather say it was just a joke? Can he agree to let you marry someone you don't love just because of a joke?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"My grandfather naturally disagrees, but you have to know that my grandfather is a highly respected person. What he hates most in his life is people with moral corruption, and betrayal is the ultimate manifestation of moral corruption in his eyes, so even if
No matter how unwilling he is, when the other party asks him to fulfill his promise with a marriage contract, he can only fulfill it." Zhuang Ziyan said helplessly.
"You're sacrificing your granddaughter's happiness just for your own reputation?" Lin Zhiming asked with a frown.
"It's not all about reputation. In my grandfather's eyes, keeping promises is a very important thing, and the other party's family is now in decline. If we refuse to abide by the engagement, we will inevitably be called snobbish, so my grandfather
In the end, I had no choice but to fulfill the engagement, and one more important thing is that I myself agreed to the marriage at that time," Zhuang Ziyan said.
"Then you agreed, so why haven't we slept together for so long?" Lin Zhiming asked doubtfully.
"I was single at the time, and I thought that I had to get married anyway, so it would be good to marry someone in the system. After I got married, I found out that Jianming also had a girlfriend that I had been dating for several years, because that girlfriend's
relationship, he is very resistant to me, and I am also a strong-willed person. After I knew that my husband had another woman in his heart, I could no longer regard him as my husband, so I tell you, the two of us are with each other.
They are just like ordinary friends. When I go home every day, he does his thing and I do mine, and they sleep in their own rooms... Sigh." Zhuang Ziyan sighed and shook her head.
"So that's it...then you two are pitiful. One was forced to break up with his girlfriend, and the other was forced to remain a widow." Lin Zhiming said.
"What a widow, it's too ugly." Zhuang Ziyan glared at Lin Zhiming angrily.
"Although the words are ugly, the general meaning is the same." Lin Zhiming said.
"Hey, I don't know how long we will continue like this. I am a romantic person. I want to celebrate Valentine's Day. I also want someone to take me to a candlelight dinner on May 20th, but now
All this has come to nothing, I haven't been in love yet, I don't know what love is like, until I saw you..." Zhuang Ziyan looked at Lin Zhiming and said.
"You don't want to say that. If you don't know, I'd think you've fallen in love with me." Lin Zhiming said quickly.
"How is this possible...are you crazy!" Zhuang Ziyan said angrily with a red face.
"I also think it's impossible. Although I'm handsome and charming, I can't win the favor of a wife after just meeting her a few times." Lin Zhiming said with a smile.
"Be serious. What I mean is that I see love in you. You are not afraid of the outside world. You want to marry your two lovers no matter what. This move makes me feel the beauty of love.
, I really envy them both." Zhuang Ziyan said.
"Actually, you are quite pitiful. Even at this age, you are still trapped in a so-called engagement. No matter what, I think your grandfather is at fault. He should not have made such an engagement with others. This is not your fault.
Are you joking about happiness in life?" Lin Zhiming said seriously.
"There's nothing we can say about the older generation's affairs." Zhuang Ziyan shook her head.
"Then let's have a drink." Lin Zhiming picked up the wine glass and touched it with Zhuang Ziyan.
"Well, let's have a drink." Zhuang Ziyan also picked up the wine glass.
A man and a woman were chatting and drinking.
This is the first time Zhuang Ziyan has drank with a man like this. She is not a feudal person and does not love her husband, but she also knows that as a wife, she should keep a distance from other men. She has always done this.
But this time she took the opportunity to reveal Zhuang Mo's true intentions to Lin Zhiming and drank and chatted with him. This feeling was very beautiful, because she saw in Lin Zhiming the love she longed for.
She looked extremely envious of Lin Zhiming, so she hoped to hear more beautiful stories from Lin Zhiming, so she drank one cup after another, and this kind of drinking and chatting with a man under the dim light
The feeling of heaven faintly brought her some excitement that she had never experienced before.
just like…
"Hey, have you drunk too much?" Lin Zhiming asked in surprise, looking at Zhuang Ziyan with misty eyes in front of him.
To be honest, the two of them had just drank a bottle and a half of wine. Judging from Zhuang Ziyan's enthusiasm when he started drinking, he didn't think Zhuang Ziyan would get drunk now.
But the fact is that Zhuang Ziyan was drunk.
She held her face with one hand, her eyes were blurred, and she was speechless.
That's the bad thing about red wine. Once the stamina builds up, it can completely confuse a person within a few minutes.
Seeing that Zhuang Ziyan was already drunk, Lin Zhiming could only call the waiter to buy the order, then stood up and said, "Okay, it's almost done tonight, I'll take you back."
When Zhuang Ziyan heard this, she didn't reply. She put her hands on the table and tried to stand up. However, due to the drunkenness, she stumbled as soon as she stood up and sat down directly on the ground.
Lin Zhiming had quick eyes and quick hands and quickly grabbed her to prevent her from sitting on the ground.
However, at this time, Zhuang Ziyan seemed to have passed out from drinking. Her legs were weak and she could not stand up at all. As soon as Lin Zhiming let go, she sat down on the ground.
"You really have a bad ability to drink." Lin Zhiming muttered, carrying Zhuang Ziyan directly on his back, and then walked out.
When he came downstairs, Lin Zhiming put Zhuang Ziyan into the car, and then he also got in.
"Go back to Professor Zhuang's house." Lin Zhiming said to the driver.
The driver nodded, started the car and drove to Zhuang Mo's house.
