Chapter 186 Marriage by coincidence (Part 1)
After this.
Fu Yuan and Su Yuan met several more times and had two meals alone, sitting face to face with each other.
Before every date, Su Yuan would dress up carefully, pick out the most appropriate clothes from her closet, and comb her hair meticulously.
Of course she is beautiful, and even in a grey cotton coat, she looks energetic.
When she went out today, she deliberately wore the coat she bought two days ago. Her slender figure made her look taller and neater.
She is like the most typical sunflower of this era, and every aspect of her is in line with the kind of upright beauty that people are pursuing nowadays.
When other colleagues in the newspaper heard that Su Yuan was seeing a man who worked in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, they became curious and asked him, "How are you two getting along? You've met several times, but you haven't settled anything yet?"
Generally, when going on a blind date, if the couple is attracted to each other, they should finalize the matter with their families after meeting twice.
Su Yuan's smile froze. She said, "For important matters in life, of course you need to learn more before deciding. This is not something that can be decided hastily."
When female comrades heard her say this, they also understood the same logic.
But when they were dating, they cut the Gordian knot quickly and some of them got married after just one meeting.
"Comrade Xiao Su, you must seize the opportunity. I heard that the diplomat has excellent qualifications in all aspects and is a good match for you."
Su Yuan pursed her lips and smiled, "Thank you for your reminder, Mr. Zheng. I understand it in my heart."
After checking the manuscript to be printed tomorrow, Su Yuan got off work and took a bus at the door of the newspaper building to the place where she and Fu Yuan had an appointment today.
It is a copper pot hot pot restaurant that has been open in the capital for many years.
The weather is still cold, and it's chilly in spring, so eating a hot pot is perfect.
This is the third time she and Fu Yuanjian have been together.
Once we entered the house, it became much warmer.
The copper pot was still emitting hot white steam. Fu Yuan had already arrived and was sitting by the window.
He must have just come from work and was wearing a formal suit.
His expression seemed to always be the same, indifferent and unable to reveal his emotions.
Su Yuan was actually unsure. She originally thought that Fu Yuan had a good impression of her, but after spending a few times together, his attitude towards her had hardly changed.
It seems like a routine.
Su Yuan walked up to him and took off his coat naturally, "Sorry to have kept you waiting."
Fu Yuan said: "No, I just got here too."
Although Su Yuan is shy, he also knows how to take the initiative.
She smiled and said, "Our editor-in-chief went to your Ministry of Foreign Affairs for an interview the day before yesterday. I believe the manuscript will be published soon."
Fu Yuan responded to her words politely and courteously, not letting the words fall to the ground, "I was not here the day before yesterday."
Su Yuan said, "It's okay. I'll send you a newspaper later."
The two of them ate while talking.
Fu Yuan didn't move his chopsticks much, as if he had already eaten.
Su Yuan ate very little in front of him. She put down her chopsticks silently, with a bad feeling in her heart.
I always feel that Fu Yuan still has something to say to her.
Fu Yuan stared at her calmly, and when he saw her put down her chopsticks, he asked her calmly, "Are you full?"
This sentence seems to be very considerate.
Su Yuan felt more and more depressed. She nodded and said, "I'm full."
Fu Yuan looked at the somewhat reserved woman in front of him. After several times of getting along with her, he found that Su Yuan met almost all of his requirements for a partner.
Very quiet and knows how to behave.
He has a general understanding and is knowledgeable.
Talking to her isn't tiring.
But Fu Yuan couldn't clearly explain what was missing.
Being in this circle, he has seen all kinds of marriages.
Some appear to be at odds with each other and live their own separate lives behind the scenes, while others remain as loving as ever and stay together forever.
Most of them are families that choose to get together for their own benefit.
The families of high-level intellectuals and high-ranking cadres, often without much affection between them, can get married quickly.
Maybe it was because of my brother’s marriage, which, although not so peaceful, seemed quite interesting.
Fu Yuan came back to his senses and said directly: "Comrade Su, I don't want to waste your time any longer."
"terribly sorry."
"Do you understand?"
That’s all I have to say.
What it means is obvious.
The smile on Su Yuan's face completely faded, the color on her face faded, leaving only a pale and powerless look. She couldn't help but ask, "Is there something wrong?"
Fu Yuan said, "It's my own psychological problem. I hope this matter won't cause you any trouble."
Su Yuan smiled bitterly. Before she came here, she had never thought that she would hear such words of rejection today.
She wanted to say something else.
The curtain at the door was opened, and two familiar figures walked in.
The last time Song Shengsheng went home for the holiday, she clamored to eat copper pot hot pot meat. Fu Cheng was not free, so he did not bring her along, and she held a grudge against him until the end of the month.
She had another day off, and during the day, she indulged herself in some shameless activities.
She woke up at this time in the evening. Fu Cheng finally pulled her out of the quilt, but she didn't want to move anymore.
When Fu Cheng picked her up, she leaned on him like a boneless person.
"Don't you want to eat shabu-shabu?"
"I have to go back to school tomorrow."
"I'll take you out to eat today, okay?"
Song Shengsheng didn't buy it either, but Fu Cheng always acted very understanding, gentle and thoughtful afterwards.
But he treated her like a fish on a chopping board that afternoon, cooking her carelessly without showing any sign of feeling sorry for her.
Mouth pain.
If you practice what you preach, you will never suffer any loss.
Song Shengsheng raised his hand and hit him on the face, but it wasn't really a slap.
Fu Cheng didn't bother, he grabbed her wrist and helped her put on her clothes while she was still not fully awake.
He stretches his legs when asked to, and stretches his hands when asked to, and is quite well behaved when being served.
The couple didn't expect that it would be such a coincidence that they met the eldest brother here.
Fu Cheng couldn't help but greet his brother when he saw him. He took Song Shengsheng's hand and walked in front of his brother, "Brother."
Fu Yuan nodded, then said, "We've already eaten."
Su Yuan lowered his head, his eyes as red as a rabbit.
Song Shengsheng still thought that the marriage between her uncle and Editor-in-Chief Su was a done deal, and she already regarded Su Yuan as her sister-in-law.
The relationship between sisters-in-law is also a difficult problem.
It would be great if my future sister-in-law has a good temper.
Otherwise, if she gets bad temper again, she and her sister-in-law will definitely not get along well.
There will be another commotion then.
Song Shengsheng's gaze suddenly froze, and she saw Su Yuan quietly wiping away tears.
She suddenly felt a little sympathy for her. Was she crying because she was angry?
"Brother, Shengsheng and I haven't eaten yet, let's go over first."
"Um."
Song Shengsheng was originally somewhat resentful of Fu Cheng for digging her out of the quilt, but when she saw how lively it was, she was no longer so resentful.
However, her dream did not include who the male protagonist in this period novel married.
After walking a little further, Song Shengsheng muttered, "Fu Cheng, I just saw Editor-in-Chief Su seemed to be crying."
