Chapter 54 The Night Before the Blind Date



"Is it comfortable?"

"You bastard~" Her voice was noticeably softer.

Wang Shouren: ...

At this point, he didn't know what to say anymore. He had been inexplicably ruined.

"Hmph!" Lou Xiao'e snorted coldly and slapped Wang Shouren on the head: "You're really something, taking advantage of me and then pretending to be sincere?"

"Cough cough..." Startled by the pat, Wang Shouren coughed twice, momentarily at a loss for what to do. He almost wanted to transform into a cucumber strip and say, "Family, does anyone know how to do this...?"

After saying that, she sighed softly, "You're a smart person, tell me, what should I do?"

I feel lost, very lost.

She grew up under her father's wing and was able to access some things more or less.

Moreover, she was intelligent from a young age, and she could grasp many things very quickly.

She had already been discreet enough, but judging from Xu Damao's blatant demands for money, things seemed to be getting increasingly urgent from the outside.

"Let's go." When it comes to serious matters, Wang Shouren can still get serious.

"Leave? You mean, go out?"

"Otherwise what?"

"But it's hard to leave one's homeland."

"Then it depends on how long you can tolerate Xu Damao. Will his ambition to climb the ladder lead him to betray you? The further you go, the more dangerous it will become. What do you think?"

Lou Xiao'e fell silent.

That's the truth. Xu Damao had always dreamed of getting promoted and making a fortune. He knew Lou Xiao'e was rich, and he married her not only because she was beautiful, but also because he felt she could provide him with considerable assistance. But who was Lou Bancheng? He had an incredibly sharp eye for people and kept Xu Damao firmly under his thumb. For some people, getting promoted is a disaster for their families.

For so many years, Xu Damao has remained a projectionist. Besides his own lack of education, Lou Bancheng also played a part in the reason.

Little did he know that at every dinner party, he was acting like a clown, surrounded by "one big guy and three small guys."

Most of the factory's managers were just watching Xu Damao make a fool of himself. After all these years, everyone knew what kind of person he was.

But now, times have changed.

Lou Xiao'e then had to consider other things.

She sighed, nestled in Wang Shouren's arms, and said, "Originally, I thought that a marriage between two people, if managed slowly, could always reach the state I envisioned."

"It's that kind of relationship where life is like a beautiful melody, harmonious and joyful. Two people support each other, understand each other, and have perfect chemistry. Every morning, they enjoy the sunshine and warm air together, preparing a delicious breakfast together. In the evening, they take a walk together, admiring the starry sky and the moon. Such a life is simple and beautiful. When things get better, I'll open a flower shop." Lou Xiao'e paused here, then sighed softly: "You men, do you only care about that kind of thing?"

"Hey, it's not that bad. I've thought about the kind of life you're talking about, but, as you know," Wang Shouren smiled and didn't say anything more.

She's truly a woman who has seen through the illusions of life yet resolutely chose to be love-obsessed.

After a moment of silence, Lou Xiao'e propped herself up.

Where are you going?

"Where else can I go? Am I really going to wait for someone to come and arrest me tomorrow?" Lou Xiao'e rolled her eyes and tied her hair into a ponytail.

The beautiful curves, illuminated by the moonlight, were breathtaking.

Wang Shouren swallowed.

Lou Xiao'e immediately took a few steps back warily: "Let me tell you, today was just an accident, don't overthink it."

"Okay, okay, I know, I'm just here to kill time."

"Good to know."

"By the way, Sister E, please consider what I said. If you don't leave now, you might not be able to leave at all."

Lou Xiao'e paused in tying her hair, then nodded: "I understand."

After saying that, he left without looking back.

After stepping out of the room, she breathed a sigh of relief, looked up at the moon, and the moonlight shone down, illuminating her flushed face.

She gently pinched her cheek and muttered to herself, "You really are shameless. When Xu Damao was picking a fight today, you were actually a little happy, even though you knew it was his scheme..."

Yes, I knew perfectly well it was his scheme.

This was just the beginning; she was like a moth drawn to a flame, rushing towards Wang Shouren.

When did it start?

She shook her head, not knowing.

Perhaps, it all started that night, three years ago.

The next morning, Qin Huairu brought Qin Jingru to find Wang Shouren.

“We don’t have so many rules when we go on blind dates. I’m the one I introduced to you. You two can talk it over, and if it goes well, then we can settle it,” Qin Huairu said with a smile.

These words made Qin Jingru blush.

"Sister Qin, don't be in such a hurry. To be honest, I don't even know how to address Qin yet."

"Look at my brain!" Qin Huairu slapped her forehead and nudged Qin Jingru: "Introduce yourself."

"I... oh, no, my name is Qin Jingru, I'm 19 years old..." Seemingly unsure how to continue, she blushed and looked up at Wang Shouren: "You... and you?"

“My name is Wang Shouren. My family is just this one. There are no elders in the family. I’m currently working as a technician at a steel rolling mill. I’m still an intern and my salary is 37. If things go smoothly, I’ll be a full-time employee next year with a salary of 42.5 yuan. If you’re willing to marry into this family, there won’t be many rules. It’ll just be you and me. If we have children in the future, we can even set up a small room. It won’t be a big problem.”

"This...so much." Qin Jingru looked at Qin Huairu in surprise, as if trying to confirm the truth of the other's words.

"Why are you looking at me like that? There's no reason for her to lie to you about something like this. Don't mind her, Xiao Wang. She's just a country bumpkin, she doesn't know much." Qin Huairu smacked Qin Jingru on the head in dissatisfaction.

42.5 yuan?

Qin Jingru felt dizzy. Her family, who toiled in the fields for a living, might not even be able to save this much in a year. And this was only 42.5 yuan in the city?

"Not everyone is like Xiao Wang; normally, it's 18."

"I...I agree..."

He's handsome, rich, and can marry into the city; only a fool wouldn't marry him.

"well."

“Well then, I’ll take Jingru out for a walk today, and then I’ll take her home tonight. What do you think, Sister Qin?” Wang Shouren looked at Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu gave him a resentful look and nodded: "Okay, then it's settled. Jingru, you have to go home tonight!"

Qin Huairu emphasized the word "go back" very firmly. Qin Jingru lowered her head shyly and nodded.

Wang Shouren awkwardly touched his nose.
