Zhou Haiyan said quietly: "I don't know, but I won't break up with my boyfriend. I said, I won't marry anyone else except him."

"What about your fiancé?"

"Well, I haven't thought about it yet."

Tang Xiaobao was ashamed: "I'm not criticizing you, but this is wrong. You have to learn to take the initiative and take the initiative to break down this relationship and rebuild it. Otherwise, it will be a great harm to you, your fiancé, and your boyfriend. Youth is fleeting, so you have to know how to seize the little tail of youth."

"Pfft, you come from a humble background, so why are you learning about art? You're still a young girl, aren't you jealous?"

Zhou Haiyan laughed out loud.

"When in Rome, I follow the Romans. I learned this from you."

Tang Xiaobao chuckled and said, "You really don't have any plans?"

"No, I can't think of one."

Zhou Haiyan said seriously.

Tang Xiaobao blinked: "It's actually very simple."

"Oh, it sounds like you have some good suggestions?"

Zhou Haiyan was stunned.

Tang Xiaobao nodded, then shook his head: "I do have some ideas, but I'm just a listener now. Do you really want me to help you with some advice?"

"I really don't expect you to give me any advice, but I'm also very curious to see what ideas you can come up with. Tell me."

Zhou Haiyan smiled.

Tang Xiaobao smiled and said, "To be honest, even if I haven't seen many cases like yours, there are many books about it. To put it bluntly, your parents don't approve of your relationship with your boyfriend because he seems to have no money and no power. It's very simple. I can help him. Isn't he a songwriter? He writes and I sing. Doesn't he write poems and books? I can write prefaces for him and help him find a publisher. Isn't he proficient in calligraphy and painting? I can help him organize exhibitions. As long as I help him with my heart, he will soon gain both fame and fortune. By then, your parents will definitely not disagree, right?"

"That was your idea?"

Zhou Haiyan laughed.

"Yes, it's that simple. Things that seem complicated are actually very simple. As long as you can grasp the key points, everything can be solved easily."

Tang Xiaobao said proudly.

Zhou Haiyan chuckled and said, "It seems that you are still too young and your thinking is too simple. If things were so simple, would I still need your help?"

"Ah? You, what do you mean? Am I wrong?"

Tang Xiaobao blushed.

"Yes, your method is useless. It's definitely a bad idea."

"Come on, come on, explain to me what I said wrongly."

Tang Xiaobao was not convinced.

Zhou Haiyan said: "First of all, my boyfriend Du Shihao is a very arrogant person. He will not accept any help from you."

"Not necessarily. This is not necessarily the case. When it comes to fame and fortune, not many people can stick to their original intentions. Besides, this matter will benefit him in every way."

Tang Xiaobao said stubbornly.

"I can guarantee this. I know him better than you."

Zhou Haiyan said firmly, "Don't argue with me about this useless topic. He will definitely not accept your help. Otherwise, he wouldn't be Du Shihao, and he wouldn't be the one I have to marry. Okay, let me make my second point. Even if he accepts your help and becomes rich and famous, it's useless. My parents still won't agree."

"Why?" Tang Xiaobao asked blankly.

Zhou Haiyan sighed, "Because of politics. My parents are in politics, and so are my fiancé's family. The two families want to marry each other, and that's for political purposes. Let's put it this way, even if my fiancée is far inferior to my boyfriend, my family will do their best to marry me."

"It seems I really thought too simply. Your parents are really confused. Their children's happiness is the most important thing, eh."

Tang Xiaobao sighed.

He was convinced.

Zhou Haiyan’s arguments were well-reasoned and it was impossible not to accept them.

But he just wasn't happy.

Can such a marriage really be happy?

Is it really worth it to exchange resources for the happiness of your children?

Tang Xiaobao said to Zhou Haiyan, "Have your parents really lost their minds? They've made you marry a man you don't love, and you've got no happiness at all. Isn't that ruining the rest of your life? Is it worth it? They're desperately trying to do this for what? It's all for their children. Isn't this putting the cart before the horse? I don't understand!"

“It’s actually very easy to understand.”

Zhou Haiyan smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not the only child in our Zhou family. I have an older brother and a younger brother, and many cousins. Sacrificing me means these brothers and sisters can have a better life. In their eyes, it's worth it. What's more, people from their generation believe that relationships can be cultivated slowly. My parents didn't have any feelings for each other when they got married, and they lived like that their whole lives."

Tang Xiaobao opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

It seems to make sense.

He really didn't know how to refute it.

But I feel really depressed.

So, he said with some irritation: "They are just confused people anyway."

"Could you please stop swearing?"

Zhou Haiyan frowned and couldn't help it.

Tang Xiaobao pulled his neck and said, "That's right."

"You are quite boring. Can you have some manners and qualities?"

"That's just how I am. It's called being straightforward."

"It's unreasonable."

"I'm doing this for your own good."

"But can you be more reliable?"

"I'm reliable enough."

"I'll handle my own affairs. It has nothing to do with you."

"Why? We are good friends. Your business is my business. Otherwise, you are putting me in an unfair position. I can't just watch you jump into the fire pit. Besides, you are unwilling to give up your boyfriend even if you kill yourself. This matter must be resolved."

“When you reach the mountain, there will always be a way.”

"Nonsense, if there's no road, then there's going to be a car crash."

…

"Sir, Miss, could you please stop arguing here and keep quiet?"

Suddenly, a waiter came up and said politely.

The two of them shut up immediately.

"Sorry, let's keep our voices down."

Tang Xiaobao quickly put on a smile.

"That's good."

The waiter went downstairs.

Tang Xiaobao turned his head and Zhou Haiyan chuckled.

So Tang Xiaobao laughed.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

"It's so strange. We just met today, but why do I feel like we've been friends for decades?"

Zhou Haiyan said.

Tang Xiaobao said: "Yes, I am also curious."

The two looked at each other in silence, just smiling.

After a while, Zhou Haiyan said sincerely: "Thank you, let's talk about this matter later. I appreciate your kindness, but this matter cannot be resolved in a short time."

Tang Xiaobao's heart moved, his eyes lit up, and he said, "I got it."
