Be his dance partner!
She originally intended for him to be a shield.
To my surprise, he agreed immediately.
Now there's absolutely no way out.
The translator translated Qiao Muting's words verbatim, and Thomas, the staff member from Country E, immediately became excited upon hearing it.
"Xiao, you have no reason to refuse now. Even if you don't have a dance partner, we're all willing to help you. See you then!"
Jiang Junchi, usually so serious and stern, rarely smiled: "Go ahead, Hua Rui has also been invited. You young people should participate in more social activities like this. Getting to know more talented young people from all walks of life will benefit your future careers and friendships."
Qian Lai felt a little relieved when she heard that Hua Rui would also be going.
It had been years since I'd attended one of those old-fashioned dances. In contrast, Qian Lai preferred the freedom and uninhibitedness of night parties, where she could unleash her true self without restraint.
“This ball has also invited promising young experts and scholars from all walks of life. There are those in the mechanical field, those in architecture and medicine, and those in economics and trade. I think you will definitely find yourselves some friends. This is a very valuable social opportunity,” another older person from country E added.
There are medical experts!
Qiao Muting and Qian Lai each captured the key words.
Since that's the case...
"See you then!"
It was almost five o'clock when they came out of the International Club. As soon as they stepped out the door, they saw Fang Wenjie running towards them, panting.
"Mu Ting, I rushed here as soon as I got your call, how did you get dressed...?"
I ran up to her, and when I looked up... she was a fairy!
She descended to earth today and is standing right next to his good friend.
"Aren't you the fairy... oh no, the woman who appeared at our hospital that day? You guys?"
His eyes held a hint of confusion, a touch of surprise, and a dash of reproach.
Who was it that scoffed at the fairy back then? Now they're following her around, all smiles and fawning over her!
"This is my friend, Teacher Xiaoran." Qiao Muting proudly introduced the person next to him, "This is my good buddy, Dr. Fang Wenjie, whom I mentioned to you."
Fang Wenjie! So he's Fang Wenxue's brother.
The girl had bright, clear eyes and a graceful demeanor. She smiled sweetly at Fang Wenjie and said, "Hello, Dr. Fang."
Her voice was melodious and sweet, like a refreshing spring.
Damn it! I'm too late.
Looking up at his good brother, who hadn't been close to women for over twenty years, he saw that his eyes were fixed on her, never leaving her for a moment. He knew then that his good brother had probably been hit by an arrow this time.
He was struck by Cupid's arrow.
But what about Wenxue? ...Sigh!
Qiao Muting and Fang Wenjie chatted briefly before Qian Lai took his leave and returned to the newspaper office.
She was still thinking about the photos Meng Tianyu had developed; Old Zhang and Sister Mi's story would probably be in the newspapers tomorrow.
Watching her departing figure, Qiao Muting gazed at her for a long time.
"Hey, they've already gone far away!" Fang Wenjie couldn't hold back any longer, walked up to him, and blocked his view with his face.
Qiao Muting then came to his senses and strode into the jeep.
Sitting next to Fang Wenjie, they remained silent the whole way, only occasionally letting out a laugh.
Fang Wenjie looked at him several times, but he remained immersed in his own world, completely unaware.
"Hey Joe, something's not right with you!"
Fang Wenjie could no longer contain himself and finally asked the question.
Qiao Muting then "woke up," composed himself, and cleared his throat.
"Is something wrong?"
"Your mouth hasn't closed since you got in the car. Are you reminiscing about that fairy?"
"Her name is Xiaoran."
"Your name suits you perfectly. What, have you fallen for someone? Want to marry her?"
These words completely calmed Qiao Muting down. In his current state, he truly dared not even consider this question.
He wasn't sure if he could once again step onto the operating table without any worries and regain his former confidence.
Now, both children are still young, and even though she cares a lot about their future, she is only doing so from an outsider's perspective.
Once the responsibility of being a "stepmother" falls on her shoulders, would a woman as exceptionally refined as her willingly choose a man with two children as her husband?
If the outcome is destined to be unsatisfactory, would he still let her jump into this fire pit?
He had no idea about his own future, so how could he possibly harm her?
Regardless of his feelings for her, he must understand at least one thing: the more he cares about her, the less he should give her a bad life.
If she has a better option, he is neither worthy nor should he get entangled with her.
Thinking of this, his face returned to its usual calm and silence, and he said seriously, "I haven't thought about personal matters yet. Please also tell as many people as possible about my thoughts, so as not to delay others and waste their precious youth."
He was referring to Fang Wenxue.
All he knew was that Fang Wenxue used to chase after him when he was a teenager, and he thought it was just a little girl who liked to chase after her older brothers.
But today, when he heard that she was claiming to be his fiancée, he realized that she was no longer the little girl she was a few years ago.
"Old Fang, how did you help me find the media for my missing person ad?"
Upon hearing this question, Fang Wenjie immediately began to stammer.
He was embarrassed to admit that he hadn't contacted the media and had entrusted the matter entirely to his sister.
He knew that Old Joe had been glued to the phone these past few days, but he still hadn't received any notification from the newspaper.
