Shen Xingzhou held her hand and placed it on his lips and kissed it, saying affectionately: “I want to coax you... or if you want to be quiet, that’s fine, I’ll just stay by your side and not talk, okay?”

Fu Xiao looked at him with a bright smile and suddenly asked, "I might lose my temper when I'm in a bad mood."

His voice became gentler, "Go ahead, vent your anger on me..."

"Your movements are not standard...you have to kneel..."

As soon as she finished speaking, he knocked his knees to the ground. Fu Xiao laughed, "Silly...on one knee."

“Oh oh…” Shen Xingzhou knelt on one knee and asked her, “Then what?”

Fu Xiao looked at the ring he had placed aside.

After receiving the signal, Shen Xingzhou opened the ring box, took out a female ring, and held her right hand. Fu Xiao reminded her: "Ring finger..."

After putting it on her, Fu Xiao put the men's ring on his finger.

Shen Xingzhou held her hand, "This is the proposal you mentioned, right?"

"That's about right."

Fu Xiao stretched out his hand to look at the ring on his hand. There was a ruby inlaid in the middle of the silver ring.

Um...

Not as big as a pigeon egg, but about the size of a soybean.

"Chen Xingzhou, it seems that all the jewelry you gave me recently are red..."

"Isn't this a wedding... a celebration? If you like other colors, I can prepare them for you..."

Fu Xiao sighed: "That's why I said you have poor taste."

Shen Xingzhou put his arm around her waist again and whispered in her ear, “Well, it needs to be improved. I will rely on Xiaoxiao to improve my aesthetics in the future….”

He lifted her chin and kissed the corner of her mouth: "Is it not painful now?"

Fu Xiao's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she pursed her lips: "I'm not feeling bad, I just keep having dreams at night recently."

Shen Xingzhou hugged her tightly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here..."

"It's not scary. I just dream of a person from time to time, standing in the dark night, staring at me deeply... I asked him who he was, but he didn't say anything."

Every time she woke up from the dream, she would feel endless heartache and bitterness.

Shen Xingzhou hugged her tighter, "Xiaoxiao, be good, it's just a dream,"

"In half a month, it will be our wedding..."

"Okay, I get it. Don't be so excited..." Fu Xiao patted his hands and asked him to relax.

"Don't forget to pick up grandpa and aunt from Dashan Village,"

Chen Xingzhou nodded: "I have already arranged people to go there, and I have also arranged people to go to the northwest..."

Fu Xiao tilted his head to look at him, "Didn't my dad tell me when he came back that my second uncle would drive over himself..."

"I understand, but the arrangement has already been made. We'll see when the time comes. Come whenever is convenient. Third uncle probably won't be here until October."

"Yes," she nodded, "I know he's busy, just go there on the wedding day..."

"I miss Xiao Nian Gao... I don't know if the little kid can talk or call for help now."

Shen Xingzhou chuckled: "He is only one year old..."

"What's wrong with one year old? Can't a one year old talk?"

He smiled helplessly: "Yes, when I see him, I will ask him to call you aunt."

....

Research Institute.

As soon as Chen Tingxu arrived at the office early in the morning, he received a summons call from the leader's office.

"Meeting? Okay, I'll be there right away..."

He put on his reading glasses, took his small notebook and walked out of the institute.

When I got here, I found that not only he was there, but also people from several departments were there.

I went over and whispered a few words to someone I knew, and then the leader came in.

"President Chen...your institute has made great achievements this time,"

Although he knew what he meant, Chen Tingxu still pushed his glasses modestly and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Country M sent a letter, saying that they invited researchers from the institute to exchange and study... That proves that the document we sent over before... has something. Let's talk about this matter today. How should we reply to this letter? Should we go..."

Chen Tingxu still did not express his opinion and waited for others to speak first.

The first person to speak was Mr. Zheng. He said with a smile: "I think this is a good thing..."

Several departments spoke in succession, some agreed, some opposed, and some just followed the crowd.

"Why should we share our research results with them? When we sent them invitations in the past, they didn't respond positively and always made excuses..." These are the conservatives.

"Communication is possible, but how much sincerity can they show? Will they just want to steal our things and do something bad?" This is the rational person.

Finally someone pointed out, "Dean Chen...what do you think?"

Chen Tingxu, who failed to play badly, coughed lightly: "Oh, that's what I thought. What to communicate... depends on what they come up with... This time the initiative is in our hands."

"The core is all here with our researchers..." He pointed to his head.

He said in a teasing tone: "How much sincerity do they show? Let's see...?"

After he finished speaking, some people who knew him understood.

Laughing and patting his shoulder, "You are still smart..."

People around also started laughing. The meeting place was held here and everyone was here with the same people, which proved that it was not a very serious meeting occasion. So everyone said whatever they wanted without any scruples.

After a long discussion, we finally decided: go!

The leader made the decision: "Then go ahead, President Chen, you decide on the candidate... and the Ministry of Commerce... and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, you all discuss it, and submit the report in a week... Let Beijing Aviation prepare, and as for the security issue, you arrange for people on the National Security side..."

"clear..."

"Okay, let's all go. Dean Chen, please stay for a while."

After everyone left, the leader asked him, "Do you have an idea of the candidate?"

Chen Tingxu smiled and said, "You are concerned about the little girl from the Mu family, right? Leader, she has to go... You have to know that she came up with those things, and other researchers only have a superficial understanding of them. Moreover, communication and learning, the most important thing is learning. This girl is smart and has a photographic memory."

The leader was silent for a while, then looked up at him, "That girl is getting married in October..."

Having said this, Chen Tingxu also fell silent.

"How about... go and ask?"

"Go back to the courtyard and look for someone else. If you can't find anyone, go to the Mu family and ask the girl for her consent."

Chen Tingxu nodded, "I understand."

"I can't bear to see her suffer. This child is the treasure of our institute."

The leader suddenly laughed, "Maybe she is willing..."

Maybe he is looking forward to it, this child is a lively person.

They didn't want her to go, and she probably thought they were overthinking it.

"You go down,"

Chen Tingxu stood up, took a step back, turned around and walked out.
