Chapter 40 "Do you like him?"

“Maybe.”

An answer I never thought of.

Meng Liyue turned around and looked at him in shock. She could hardly believe what she heard and the vibration in her heart became more and more crazy.

She thought that marrying Li Fuzheng was just luck, that she met him at the right time, was recognized by him, and became involved with him.

But we overlooked a more important possibility.

Perhaps, it was only after Li Fuzheng met her that he felt that the time had come.

"What are you looking at me like that for?"

The man driving the car suddenly reached out a hand and tapped her forehead gently: "Do you think I'm lying?"

"Of course not." Meng Liyue denied it immediately.

She suppressed her chaotic emotions and said in a low voice that only she could hear: "Me too."

Even if she had met him earlier, as long as he proposed marriage, she would still choose to accept the possible failure and take the risk.

Li Fuzheng couldn't see the impulse and desperation in her heart, but it didn't matter. She had experienced too much pain from being wantonly slaughtered in her past life. The joy she felt from him at that moment was enough to support her through any despair in the future...

The car stopped at the restaurant. Meng Liyue got out first. When he was reversing, he saw a jeep driving by, followed by a Ferrari sports car.

Fortunately, this is a private restaurant located in a side street with low traffic, otherwise this scene would be immediately photographed and uploaded to social networks, triggering a discussion about showing off wealth.

The two empty seats next to them had been reserved long ago, and Qi Zhi and Ning Yixu got off the bus at about the same time.

“You met halfway?”

Li Fu Zheng walked to Meng Liyue's side, gently supported her waist, and looked at them.

"I went back to the yard." Qi Zhi was wearing a hat, and his figure was still strong.

Ning Yixu looked too thin next to him.

He shrugged, "I shouldn't have gone back and been nagged for so long. From now on, I have to stay as far away from you two successful people as possible."

"Wrong." Li Fuzheng corrected calmly, "Three."

His direction was clear. Ning glanced at Meng Liyue reluctantly without saying anything.

Instead, he looked at the serious Qi Zhi and laughed: "If you force him again, he will have nowhere to go."

"It's just a matter of fact. He is too fragile mentally."

Meng Liyue tried to hold back her laughter, but the sparkles in her eyes betrayed her. Master Ning felt that he was being mocked and was so angry that he strode ahead, and no one came to comfort him.

"Who's here today?"

"There's no need to be so ostentatious."

"I haven't said congratulations yet."

"You're welcome."

As Li Fuzheng was speaking, he did not forget to gently hold Meng Liyue's arm as he stepped onto the stage, and said softly, "Pay attention."

She pursed her lips and smiled, then followed quietly beside him without trying to show her presence. She was silent, yet had a quiet and gentle temperament that was unique to her.

After entering the private room, Ning Yixu was already ordering food. He knew his childhood friends' tastes well, and had finished selecting the seasonal fresh ingredients. He was still struggling, so Li Fuzheng decisively took the menu from him and put it in front of Meng Liyue: "What do you want to eat?"

Meng Liyue is not picky about food, so she just picked one at random.

"Don't order anything too spicy, thank you." Li Fuzheng handed the menu to the waiter and reminded him specifically.

It was only recently that I understood Meng Liyue's true taste. She can eat everything, but she has preferences and prefers sweet and sour tastes.

In the city, her taste is relatively special and restaurants rarely pay much attention to it.

After he finished his instructions skillfully, Ning Yixu, who was sitting across the table, stared at them with wide eyes, almost suspecting that he had seen it wrong. From childhood to adulthood, when had they ever seen Li Fuzheng be so considerate?

Li Fuzheng is basically indifferent to the people around him, and hardly pays attention to abnormal emotions, unless they are pointed out directly to him, and only extremely serious events can attract his indifferent attention.

But bringing Meng Liyue to their childhood reunion was fine, he always put her first in everything, being attentive and considerate in every way, this was simply...

Master Ning turned his head and glared at Qi Zhi, his eyes full of anger: "Look at him! Is he still going to fight?!"

Qi Zhiting calmly picked up the teacup and responded silently, "I see, this is him."

Although it is hard to believe, the change happened when no one noticed.

Ning Yixu still couldn't accept that Li Fuzheng, who had a deep-rooted image in his memory, suddenly showed a completely different appearance.

He tightened his cheeks and poured a glass of water and pushed it in front of Li Fuzheng.

"You haven't told me yet, how did your relationship start? You were classmates in high school. Did you fall in love with each other at that time?"

Li Fuzheng's eyes fell on the cup, but he didn't rush to pick it up. He said in a calm tone: "Are you really curious about how we start?"

"Of course!" Ning Yixu turned to Meng Liyue and said meaningfully, "You don't know yet, there are so many girls chasing after Li Fuzheng since childhood!"

Meng Liyue nodded: "I know."

Although she had never seen Li Fuzheng before, she had seen many girls secretly putting love letters into his desk drawer since high school.

However, almost no love letters actually fell into his hands.

What Xu Moti and her little followers had to do every day when they arrived in the classroom was to pick up all the love letter gifts given to him while he was away.

"Now that you know... aren't you curious about why he chose you?"

As soon as Ning Yixu finished speaking, Li Fuzheng gave him a cold warning: "Do you want to be beaten?"

"I'm telling the truth. You have so many options, but you chose her. Although she's not bad, isn't she?"

When Ning Yixu first learned about Meng Liyue from Xu Moti, he thought she was just a prostitute who relied on some sinister tricks to get the attention of Li Fuzheng.

Later, after learning about Meng Liyue's work and her career success, his perception changed and he admitted that Meng Liyue was a very outstanding girl.

But there are so many excellent girls in this world, and some of them are prettier and have better family backgrounds...

Ning Yixu's aggressive questioning made Li Fuzheng frown. Just as he was about to speak, Meng Liyue laughed and took the initiative to answer: "Why should I be curious?"

She was very frank: "No matter what the reason, we chose each other, and this is a fact that no one can interfere with."

Ning Yixu really didn't expect her to have such a good attitude.

I couldn't say the words I had prepared, so I shut up in anger.

Li Fuzheng leaned back, put his arm inconspicuously on the back of Meng Liyue's chair, and curled his lips. It was obvious that she was not a weak dodder that needed protection at all times, but a strong tree that could stand calmly in any storm.

"Okay, I'll just ask one last question."

Ning Yixu took out what he thought was his trump card and asked bluntly: "Did you marry him because you loved him?"
