But as soon as she stepped out of the room, Shen Man went back to get a can of tea.

This is a tea unique to Pingxian County. Although it is not as valuable as those famous teas, it is considered a specialty and costs only a few yuan a can.

It's not good to go to someone's dinner empty-handed.

When Shen Man walked into the opposite door with tea and some cakes, the food had already been prepared. The whole room was filled with the aroma of food, making people swallow their saliva.

When Gu Xiaobei saw her, his eyes lit up instantly. He ran over and pulled her to sit next to him, "Aunt, sit here. I'll go get you some water."

After saying that, he ran to the kitchen with his short legs.

Gu Qinglin handed the prepared rice to her and said, "Eat first."

"Thank you."

Shen Man put the things in her hand on the table beside her.

"These foods are brought by you to the north. That can of tea is a specialty of our Pingxian County. It has a fresh and fragrant taste. It's not bad. You can try it."

Gu Qinglin's eyes fell on the pot of tea and stayed there for a moment.

She obviously didn't go to class this afternoon, and she seemed to be in a good mood. It seems that the divorce she mentioned yesterday should have been successful.

Aunt Yu usually didn't eat with them, so there were only two adults and one child at the table.

Gu Xiaobei was reluctant to lower his head to eat. He turned his head to look at one person, then at another, fearing that in the blink of an eye, he would be the only one left.

Come to think of it, this was the first time he had dinner alone with his parents since he came here.

Gu Qinglin noticed the child's abnormality, lowered his head and picked up a piece of meat and put it in Xiao's bowl. At this time, Shen Manxiao picked up a piece of scrambled egg and put it in Gu Xiaobei's bowl.

The tacit cooperation between the two made Gu Xiaobei happy all of a sudden, and he ate the eggs and meat cleanly.

Although it was not the first time that Shen Man had eaten Gu Qinglin's cooking, she never felt tired of it every time.

Especially the fried meat made by the other party.

She had already eaten this fried pork with Lu Zhengguo this afternoon, and now she was eating it for dinner, and she still enjoyed it very much.

Before long, all the dishes were eaten.

Not long after Gu Xiaobei finished eating, he fell asleep.

After Gu Qinglin carried the child to the bed, he walked out and looked at Shen Man without beating around the bush.

"You said you were getting divorced today, so was your divorce successful?"

If the other person is married, he would definitely not say this, but if the other person is single, then some things should be said directly.

Shen Man didn't expect the other party to speak so directly, and she probably guessed why.

She nodded. "Yeah, it worked."

Gu Qinglin pursed his thin lips, sat directly opposite Shen Man, and looked straight into her eyes.

"So what do you think? Do you want to consider it?"

This statement couldn't be more straightforward. Since the other party has returned to being single, he has no intention of hiding his purpose.

The atmosphere around him gradually became quieter with these words, and the air seemed to freeze.

Shen Man was silent for a moment, then looked up at the man, "Is it because of the child?"

Although she didn't know how she and he would get together in the future, for now, apart from some basic information, she knew nothing about him.

Gu Qinglin nodded, "Most of the reason is because of the child, but I have to admit that part of the reason is because of my affection for her."

Shen Man glanced at him, somewhat surprised.

"But I'm divorced. Do your parents object?"

The biggest issue between the two of them right now is their child. As for their feelings, there is definitely no relationship between them and they don't understand each other.

Another point is, will the other party's parents accept him marrying a divorced woman?

Gu Qinglin's eyes were deep. "Don't worry, Mom married Dad for the second time. They won't have any objections."

"There is one thing you may not know. Before Uncle Shen died, he and your parents had arranged a marriage for the two of us."

"In other words, if there had been no accidents, perhaps we should have arrived earlier."

Shen Man was stunned for a moment. Although her mother had mentioned this to her, she did not mention that Gu Qinglin was the fiancé.

"Have you known about this from the beginning?"

"Well, I probably guessed it the moment I met you at the home of Master Shen from the Red Flag Brigade." Gu Qinglin poured a cup of tea and handed it to Shen Man.

Sometimes, fate is really amazing.

The birth of the child was indeed very sudden, so sudden that it was hard to believe for a moment. Perhaps because of blood relationship, he quickly accepted the fact that he had two more children and a future daughter-in-law.

Although before, the daughter-in-law was temporarily someone else, but now the other party is single, maybe in the future, she and he will get together.

Shen Man took a sip of tea, which had the light and refreshing taste she liked.

"You just got divorced today. Isn't it a little too fast for you to ask this question now?"

Gu Qinglin nodded, "It's a little fast, but I want to let you know in advance what you think and how you feel. Youbei is your child, and he has never known that you have a family. You have been hiding this from him."

"Decide on a name sooner so he can call you mom openly."

Shen Man thought for a moment, "What about the matter in the north? When you go back, how are you going to explain it to your parents?"

If they say they are biological children, a careful investigation will definitely reveal something wrong; if they say they are adopted, the father and son look too much alike, and anyone with a discerning eye will tell they are biological father and son.

Gu Qinglin glanced into the house and said, "Don't worry, this matter will be resolved in due time."

Shen Man thought about it for a moment. No matter from which perspective, Gu Qinglin was undoubtedly a good candidate for marriage.

She likes people who are rich, who don't let her suffer, and who have potential.

But the most important thing is that it can give her a sense of security and protection.

"You didn't have anyone you liked before, did you?"

What if a white moonlight or childhood sweetheart suddenly appears? It will be so troublesome to deal with it.

Seeing her blinking her eyes with some tentativeness, Gu Qinglin couldn't help but chuckle and said seriously, "Don't worry, there's nothing wrong."

"If you agree, after you apply for marriage, you can apply for a military residence and a house in the military compound. We can live alone then."

"After marriage, I will keep my savings account and my family's money. I will be loyal to the people and my wife. I will never have any extramarital affairs with other lesbians."

"If you are at home, you will be responsible for all the housework. You don't have to do anything."

Shen Man thought it was good, "It's still too fast. Let me think about it first and give you an answer in a few days."
