Chapter 164 I'm afraid you'll feel pressured

"Isn't getting married abroad considered a marriage? He's already married, did he propose?" Cheng Xue asked.

“I proposed to him,” Su Wanwan said.

Everyone else unanimously exclaimed: "!!"

Just how much do you love him?

Su Wanwan thought for a moment and said, "Yes, I really love it."

I'm so busy, mainly because when I have a moment to myself, I think about him.

It's also quite distressing when you can't see or touch something.

"Professor Xie is indeed handsome, but he's not quite as good-looking as my idol, but—" Before Yang Lewei could finish speaking, Su Wanwan interrupted, "No, Xie Yanning is still more handsome."

When it came to a dispute over honor, Yang Lewei argued her case forcefully: "You said he was handsome the night before last!"

"I say he's handsome, but that doesn't mean he's as handsome as Xie Yanning. These are two different issues."

Qi Yun pulled Yang Lewei back, "Just let her have her way. You can't mess with a woman who's in love."

“What do you mean by being love-struck? I’m just stating the facts,” Su Wanwan said.

“Let’s get back to your marriage issue,” Cheng Xue said. “Do you have any plans to get married in China?” Marriages abroad aren’t necessarily invalid, but proving their validity involves complicated procedures and the laws of two countries, making them practically worthless.

“No,” Su Wanwan said, “He did say that we would definitely get married, but he didn’t mention when exactly.”

Su Wanwan didn't quite understand Xie Yanning either.

If you're talking about loving her, then I would say I love her quite a bit, and I'm also very possessive, but there's really no definite answer as to when we'll get married.

Forget about things from abroad, but she can't bring up things from within China too, can she?

“When a man loves you, all he wants is to marry you as soon as possible,” Yang Lewei said. “Shao Cheng’an proposed to me eight times before I married him. Of course, I’m not showing off, but Su Wanwan, do you think he doesn’t know what kind of qualities you have? If you just post on your WeChat Moments today that you’re single again, do you believe that someone will be waiting at your door tomorrow? Doesn’t he worry?”

“Well, everyone is different,” Su Wanwan said, then paused when she saw the expressions on Qi Jun and Cheng Xue’s faces. “Don’t tell me that your partner has proposed several times.”

Cheng Xue: "Not many, maybe three times."

Qi Yun: "I did it five times, mainly because I didn't want to see his disappointed face again."

"..."

Okay, okay, everyone else gets proposed to, but she gets proposed to.

Yang Lewei is pregnant, and the others didn't dare let her stay up so late.

As soon as it was 12 o'clock, I rushed her to bed.

Yang Lewei was indeed a little tired and yawned. Su Wanwan told her to send a message to Shao Chengan so he wouldn't worry.

After Yang Lewei fell asleep, the others chatted for a while and then went to sleep as well.

The club has everything, so there's nothing to worry about.

Su Wanwan lay in bed, conflicted. Could Xie Yanning's previous talk of marriage have been just empty words, or was he enjoying being unmarried, or did he have a fear of marriage?

Of course, Su Wanwan could only keep this to herself and didn't dare tell Xie Yanning.

That's so embarrassing.

It's as if she's desperate to get married.

Xie Yanning sensed that Su Wanwan's mood seemed to have changed, but Su Wanwan didn't say anything, only that she had been eating, drinking and having fun every day for the past few days and was a little tired.

With him not around, Xie Yanning wasn't a god and couldn't observe everything perfectly. He could only tell her to rest well and not to think that just because she was better, she could go out and have fun every day and forget about him.

Su Wanwan smiled and said, "We can forget Professor Xie, no matter who else we forget."

Xie Yanning didn't believe her at all: "I think you're so happy you don't even want to leave."

"I can't help it, I miss you so much. If I don't find something to do, I'll feel uncomfortable thinking about you."

“We can meet in a few days,” Xie Yanning said. “What time are you coming? Have you booked your tickets? I’ll pick you up.”

"I haven't booked yet." Su Wanwan was a little guilty. "It depends on the arrangements for that day." They also had a lot of family matters to attend to, so it was hard to say whether they could make it.

A fleeting look of disappointment crossed Xie Yanning's face, but Su Wanwan was distracted and didn't see it. Xie Yanning didn't want to put pressure on her, so her expression returned to normal: "That's okay. Let me know when you're sure, and I'll come pick you up."

"Mmm," Su Wanwan responded softly.

It's been a week since I last saw her, but surprisingly, I don't really want to see her.

Bad review!

On New Year's Eve, Xie Yanning transferred another large red envelope to Su Wanwan.

Why are you giving me money?

"New Year's money, it's a custom here that you have to give New Year's money after you start working."

"You guys are really bad. Here, you can receive New Year's money as long as you're not married. You're giving out such big red envelopes. Your money won't last long."

Fireworks are going off outside on New Year's Eve.

Amidst the series of "bang" sounds, Xie Yanning asked, "Have you forgotten that we're married?"

Su Wanwan said, "We celebrate the Chinese New Year according to Chinese law. According to Chinese law, we are not married."

Xie Yanning nodded. "Okay, it doesn't count."

Su Wanwan bit her lip. Usually, Xie Yanning would fall for any bait she threw at him, but this time she had made it so obvious, yet Xie Yanning still didn't react at all. Did he really not want to marry her?

With his ability to see ten steps ahead in one step, how could he not see it?

Su Wanwan felt a little wronged, afraid that saying more would make Xie Yanning angry, so she could only smile and say, "My mom is looking for me, I'll hang up now."

“Yes,” Xie Yanning said, “Happy New Year, I—”

Before she could utter the words "I love you," Su Wanwan had already hung up the phone.

"..." Xie Yanning looked at her phone. So urgent?

The Su family is large and powerful, and they start exchanging New Year's greetings and receiving greetings as early as the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Su Wanwan thought that she would be going to work in a few days, so far from home, and she would spend every day with her family.

By the evening of the third day of the Lunar New Year, Su Wanwan still hadn't decided whether to book a ticket to Xie Yanning's place.

Xie Yanning never asked.

"Or does he actually not want me to come over? But he's too embarrassed to refuse me?" After all, if what he said is true, going to his house would mean acknowledging the relationship.

Su Wanwan decided not to dwell on it and called Xie Yanning directly. She wouldn't go if Xie Yanning showed even the slightest reluctance.

"Will it be inconvenient for me to go to your place tomorrow?"

"Why would it be inconvenient? What time is your flight tomorrow? I'll pick you up. Don't worry about the house, I've already packed everything for you." Xie Yanning spoke quickly, as if afraid she would change her mind.

Su Wanwan felt a little better.

Remembering that I hadn't booked my plane ticket, I quickly opened the app to book one.

This is considered the off-season for aviation, since those who wanted to travel have already done so.

"You haven't booked your tickets yet?" Xie Yanning asked.

“Uh… wasn’t this just confirmed?” Su Wanwan said, quickly scanning tomorrow’s flights. Xie Yanning then asked, “Is 10:30 tomorrow morning okay?”

There's only one direct flight tomorrow.

"Okay." The timing is good, not too early or too late.

"Okay, I'll order it for you then."

Xie Yanning sent Su Wanwan a screenshot.

"You... you already booked it?"

Otherwise, how could it have been so fast?

"Yeah, I was afraid you'd forget and then you wouldn't be able to book a ticket."

Why didn't you tell me sooner?

Xie Yanning paused for a moment before saying, "I was afraid it would put pressure on you."

Su Wanwan made up her mind to go and give Xie Yanning a good beating to vent her anger.
