Chapter 8 "We're already married."

Meng Liyue stopped involuntarily.

The man who was originally looking down at his phone also raised his eyes as if he had a premonition. His dark eyes brought a thrilling impact to Meng Liyue in this ordinary night.

In just a moment, she could hear her own heartbeat as violent as thunder.

"What's wrong?" Mu Cheng happened to be next to Meng Liyue. He noticed her abnormality and looked in the direction of her gaze. He paused and asked, "Your friend?"

Meng Liyue had not yet recovered from the surprise of seeing Li Fuzheng.

The man didn't have time to change his uniform, which means he came straight here after landing.

Calculating the time, he should have been waiting here for more than half an hour?

It wasn’t too long, but this person was going to the expedition, which had a completely different meaning.

"Director Mu, my friend is here to see me, please go first." Meng Liyue forced herself to regain her senses and spoke politely.

Mu Cheng did not leave immediately, but looked at Li Fuzheng one more time.

The men in flight uniforms were tall and straight, and the four stripes on their epaulettes were enough to indicate their status.

Such a young captain...

Although an approach controller can direct hundreds or even more aircraft to and from the airport at altitudes above 500 meters in a single day when traffic is heavy, most of them only meet in the corresponding very high frequency channels.

Mu Cheng had never seen Li Fuzheng before. The latter accepted his scrutiny calmly, nodded lazily, and exuded a kind of arrogance from the bottom of his heart.

"You've worked hard tonight, go home and rest early."

Finally, Mu Cheng was the first to retract his gaze and gave instructions to Meng Liyue.

She smiled and nodded, saying politely, "Okay, you too."

It was a very polite reply, and Mu Cheng turned and left without saying anything else.

But after a few steps, he couldn't help but look back. The slender woman's eyes were particularly bright.

…

Meng Liyue didn't dare to approach Li Fuzheng immediately, for fear that he would hear her still disordered heartbeat.

She kept her distance and asked, "Why...why are you here?"

Li Fuzheng raised his eyebrows: "Can't come?"

“No, but…”

She left the control seat where she had enough control, and seemed to have become the girl who was easily panicked and dared not look up at people.

Without further discussing this topic, Li Fuzheng smiled and said, "I'll take you home first. Where do you live?"

"I live near the airport."

"The dormitory provided by the unit?"

"Um."

Li Fuzheng nodded: "Let's go."

Meng Liyue quickened her pace to catch up with him, without even thinking of refusing.

We went to the parking lot and got into his car. In such a closed space, the aura of Li Fuzheng was almost pervasive.

Meng Liyue held the seat belt tightly with a bit of nervousness.

Driving out of the winding underground garage, Li Fuzheng glanced at her and said helplessly, "There's no need to worry so much about my driving skills. I won't just look at the dashboard and not the road."

Meng Liyue blushed: "No..."

The man held the steering wheel with one hand, his elbow lightly resting on the car window, looking relaxed and indifferent. Meng Liyue occasionally glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, wanting to speak but not knowing what to say.

Li Fuzheng didn't seem to be in a hurry to talk about business with her.

He followed the navigation and sent Meng Liyue downstairs. She had not yet found a chance to ask him why he suddenly appeared tonight.

"Thank you for taking me back. Be careful on your way back." Meng Liyue quickly glanced at him. His sharp features looked even more handsome under the dim light of the car.

She was about to push open the car door when he leaned toward her and asked her in an unprecedentedly serious tone, "Have you thought about what I said yesterday?"

Facing Li Fuzheng's serious eyes, Meng Liyue confirmed that there was no trace of joking in his words.

The beating in my chest became more and more violent.

Meng Liyue seemed to see through the endless years and saw the fragile and timid self who could only hide in the corner of the crowd and look up at the dazzling young man.

And now, they are only a few steps away from each other, and she can clearly smell the pine scent on him, mixed with the man's own hormones, a scent that can easily fascinate her.

Looking at my reflection in Li Fuzheng's pupils, I was wearing a black suit, the uniform of the approach control room of Hecheng Airport.

"good."

Finally, Meng Liyue heard her own clear answer.

Is it an adventure or a foolish impulse, she can't tell, but she wants to grasp the star she chased when she was young, even if it is just a gorgeous and grand dream that is destined to end.

"Have you made up your mind?" Li Fuzheng looked at the fearless expression of the woman in front of him, raised his eyebrows slightly, and decided to give her another chance to regret.

"Your family is in a hurry, and my situation is similar. We know each other well, I guess."

Meng Liyue tried hard to keep her voice steady and sweet: "I've made up my mind."

"Okay." Li Fuzheng confirmed her choice, with a slight curve at the corner of his lips.

Meng Liyue returned to the dormitory dazed. After washing up, she lay on the bed. The previous scenes kept replaying in her mind. She couldn't believe it... were they really going to get married?

It was not until a week later, when Li Fuzheng returned from an international flight and they were both free and went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get their marriage certificate, that Meng Liyue began to feel the real feeling.

"I need to go home first, how about you?"

"Well, I'm going home too."

At the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau, the two held their marriage certificates in their hands, but the distance between them was still a little strange.

Meng Liyue didn't really understand why Li Fuzheng didn't just have a proper relationship before getting married? Why did he decide that she was the one after just one blind date with her?

Maybe he just didn't want to waste his time?

"Where is your home?" Li Fuzheng raised his chin towards the parking spot, "I'll take you there."

"Don't bother. I can go back by myself."

"Meng Liyue." It was the first time that Li Fuzheng called her name in such a formal tone, which somehow revealed a hint of affection.

Meng Liyue rubbed her ears. It was all because of his beautiful voice...

When Meng Liyue was distracted, she heard him say, "We are already married, we are not strangers, are you sure you want to be so polite to me?"
