Chapter 182 Do you like me?
"Comrade Xia, disrupting a military marriage is illegal. I'll pretend I didn't hear what you just said, and you don't need to mention it again."
Zhu Yunying looked at Xia Jun's serious expression in front of her. It didn't look like he was dealing with his family. She was really surprised, but she still refused without hesitation.
Xia Jun is indeed as old-fashioned as Zeng Xiaoqin said.
Even though she had been rejected, she still pressed on, "Why? Wasn't it you who asked for a divorce? Wouldn't it be good to leave Feng Shuo and let the Xia family take care of you?"
As he spoke, he lowered his eyes to look at his clothes and straightened the hem of his clothes. They were neat and tidy, without a single wrinkle.
Zhu Yunyao held her forehead and sighed helplessly.
"I, Zhu Yunying, am surnamed Zhu, and I can take care of myself. It doesn't mean I have to find support in the Feng or Xia families. My marriage to Feng Shuo is a matter between him and me. If, as you say, he can't take care of me, you'll have to take over, isn't that absurd?"
"Why is it ridiculous? Back then, the Feng family was indeed better off than us. They were a big family in this Forty-Nine City and could provide you with more protection. The Xia family only has my aunt and me. Even if we wanted to, we couldn't provide you with more.
"But things are different now. I'm the purchasing director of a state-owned garment factory. Firstly, my job is stable and my life is worry-free. Secondly, I heard that you also like making clothes, so we can discuss it with each other.
"It's also important for couples to have common topics."
Xia Jun was not discouraged at all by Zhu Yunying's rejection. He insisted on asking her to sit down and listen to his detailed analysis.
I have to say that from an outsider's perspective, his analysis is well-reasoned and logical.
Zhu Yunying was speechless by his sincerity and could only use her trump card.
"Comrade Xia, marriage requires mutual affection. When you and I first met, you might have forgotten each other's appearance, let alone liked each other. How could we even talk about marriage?"
When Xia Jun heard this, a crack appeared on his calm and composed face for the first time.
He found it difficult to understand Zhu Yunying's words. He blinked rapidly several times and wanted to explain himself eagerly, but he felt it was inappropriate and swallowed his words back.
At this time, the waiter brought a dish of four-happiness meatballs and placed it in the center.
"The dishes are all here."
"Okay, thank you." Xia Jun made a chopstick-picking gesture towards Zhu Yunwei, his Adam's apple rolling, and said, "Let's eat first. My aunt and Grandma Feng probably won't be coming back. It's not good to waste food."
He waited for Zhu Yunying to pick up her chopsticks first, and then he only took one four-happiness meatball and a spoonful of fish soup.
These days, people still don’t pay attention to using serving chopsticks.
But Xia Jun only ate dishes that would not affect Zhu Yunying.
There are four four-happiness meatballs on a plate, and they don’t touch each other.
There is a large soup spoon in the fish soup. You can scoop it into the bowl and drink it with your own spoon.
In terms of etiquette, Xia Jun did a very good job.
Zhu Yunying didn't have a very bad impression of him.
Although the blind date was a bit too abrupt, she also hoped that the Xia family could help Zhu Qingyin in applying for the title of martyr, and did not want to make the relationship too awkward.
She was just thinking about how to ease the embarrassment when she heard Xia Jun ask, "So, you married Feng Shuo because you liked him?"
Zhu Yunying almost choked on the meatball and quickly drank some hot water.
She patted her chest and was about to choke on tears.
On second thought, this is actually a good way to reject people.
So, she nodded, raised her eyes and admitted: "Yes, of course I decided to get married because I like him."
Xia Jun nodded in understanding and made a conclusion: "So, you want a divorce because he doesn't like you?"
"..." Now it was Zhu Yunying's turn to roll her eyes, not understanding how Xia Jun came up with this idea.
Of course, even if he decided that was the reason, it didn't matter.
Zhu Yunying didn't want to respond to this matter and kept her head down without saying a word.
Xia Jun waited for a moment and said, "It seems that what you said just now was not entirely from your heart."
"Hmm? Which one?"
"You say you can only get married if you're in love. But in reality, the reason you get married is because you like the other person, and the reason you want a divorce is because the other person doesn't like you. If you calculate this way, you're more suitable to marry someone who likes you, and it will last longer."
“…”
Zhu Yunying was completely conquered by Xia Jun!
How did this guy even get to do the proof questions?!
It’s really a step-by-step approach!
She lost her patience and tried hard to suppress her anger, smiling at him: "Okay! Even if you are right, I should marry someone who likes me. Then Comrade Xia, do you like me?"
"I just..." met you.
Xia Jun blurted out, wanting to say that he and Zhu Yunyao had just met and their relationship definitely needed to be cultivated, but before he said it, he understood what Zhu Yunyao meant!
When it comes to discussing whether or not they like each other, Feng Shuo and he are no different.
More importantly, Zhu Yunying likes Feng Shuo!
so……
Xia Jun was silent.
Zhu Yunying finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After the meal, neither Mrs. Feng nor Xia Fangfei showed up.
Xia Jun accompanied Zhu Yunying to the entrance of the state-owned hotel, where a 28-inch truck that had been polished to a shine was parked next to it.
He warmly invited: "Go back to Feng's house? Or go to the park. There are a lot of lotus flowers blooming these days. They are very beautiful."
Zhu Yunying shook her head. "No need. I came to Jing City mainly to process my mother's martyrdom application as soon as possible. If your family is willing, can you issue an explanation to explain why the red box given as a reward was taken back on the spot?"
Xia Jun heard that someone reported Zhu Qingyin, which was one of the reasons why he agreed to go on a blind date with Zhu Yunying.
As the regiment commander, Feng Shuo also has a certain prestige and influence in the border defense company. Could it be that he couldn't even handle his mother-in-law's application for martyrdom?
It is really inappropriate to let Zhu Yunying, a woman, run around all by herself.
"Well, I brought the red box back here. If you need any clarification, I'll write it down as soon as I get back and give it to you this afternoon."
Xia Jun looked old-fashioned and unyielding, but his words really touched Zhu Yunying's heart, causing beautiful ripples to appear at the corners of her lips.
"Thank you so much! Otherwise, I'll treat you to dinner tonight!" Zhu Yunying said with a smile, "I'm new here, you can recommend a place, anything is fine."
"I'm not very knowledgeable about food, I'm not as good as Xiaoqin..."
Before Xia Jun could finish his words, a red figure suddenly rushed over, blocking Zhu Yunying and snorting arrogantly: "Director Xia, you and I are not that familiar! Don't call me Xiaoqin, please call me Reporter Zeng!"
"..." Xia Jun's eyes flashed with embarrassment, his cheeks slightly reddened, and he pursed his lips awkwardly, "Sorry, Reporter Zeng. What happened just now was..."
"I see. We must thank you for helping my sister-in-law. Otherwise, let's go eat roast duck tonight."
Zeng Xiaoqin looked at Zhu Yunying, blinked, and said flatteringly, "Sister-in-law, can you take me with you? I will arrange to have Director Xia's clarification published in the newspaper immediately!"
Zhu Yunyao saw her quirky appearance and knew that she was here to save the situation. She curled her lips and looked at Xia Jun:
"Director Xia, do you mind?"
Xia Jun's gaze had been on Zeng Xiaoqin. He came back to his senses after hearing this and smiled, "Of course I don't mind."
"Sister-in-law, let's go. I'll take you to the park to see the lotus flowers. They're so beautiful!"
Zeng Xiaoqin wanted to pull Zhu Yunying away without saying anything.
Xia Jun still asked, "Reporter Zeng, when did you come? Have you eaten yet?"
"I just arrived! I've already eaten in the cafeteria. Thank you, Director Xia, for your concern!"
Having said that, he pulled Zhu Yunying away.
The two walked hand in hand very quickly.
Xia Jun watched the two men's backs disappear around the corner, then he lowered his eyes and returned to the hotel.
He walked straight past the dining table where he had just had dinner with Zhu Yunying and went behind the screen.
On the table behind the screen, there was a bowl of leftover plain noodles.
The person had long disappeared.
He heard the shutter sound and thought Zeng Xiaoqin was following him secretly and trying to ruin the blind date.
Now it seems that he was overthinking it.
With Zeng Xiaoqin's personality, if she really wanted to cause trouble, she would stop it directly like she did just now, and would definitely not do something like eavesdropping.
He pondered for a moment, glanced at his watch, and hurried out.
I have to go back and write an explanation.
As soon as he arrived at the garment factory on his 28-inch bicycle, the security guard greeted him with surprise: "Director Xia, weren't you going on a blind date today? Why are you back at work? A young man just came to see you and left an envelope..."
