Chapter 33 Chapter 33 Confirmation
"But we are not suitable. There is a generation gap between us." Shu Niannian said subconsciously.
"What generation difference?" Ye Jinhong replied immediately, "We are not related by blood or marriage now. I am not your uncle anymore. What generation difference are you talking about?"
Shu Niannian hesitated and said, "That's true."
Her palm-sized face turned red. How did her marriage suddenly become related to Ye Jinhong?
Ye Jinhong continued to promote himself as Shu Niannian's face gradually turned red. "First, we are quite familiar with each other. We know each other well. I don't have any bad habits. After you marry me, I can hand over my salary card. Second, I was born and raised in Haicheng. Both my family network and my personal network are in Haicheng. Third, although I am only a group leader now, I am young. In time, I will definitely be able to lead you to a better position and enjoy greater glory."
Shu Niannian's face turned red. Although her mind was a little dizzy, it didn't turn into a mess. "But in your last letter, you clearly cut off our relationship. Why are you suddenly saying you want to marry me?"
Shu Niannian thought so and asked the same question. At the same time, her rationality gradually came back to her. "Sympathize with me? Or do you also want to find a partner to live with?"
Ye Jinhong sat opposite Shu Niannian, looking at her without blinking, and naturally noticed the changes in Shu Niannian. Since she had questions, he would naturally explain them to her. Since he had taken this step, he had no intention of turning back.
"It's not sympathy. You can run your own business now. Judging from your grades, it's a sure thing that you'll be admitted to university next year. If nothing unexpected happens, you'll definitely be able to thrive in Haicheng in the future with your own abilities. Maybe after we get married, I'll need your support. Do I need to sympathize with you?"
Ye Jinhong's words flattered Shu Niannian very much. Seeing Shu Niannian's smile, he continued, "Let me answer your second question. I don't want to find someone to live with. I want to marry you because I like you."
Ye Jinhong spoke in a low voice and enunciated each word clearly. Although his voice was low, Shu Niannian could hear it clearly.
Shu Niannian raised her head suddenly and said in disbelief, "Like me?!"
Ye Jinhong nodded and admitted, "Yes, I like you."
Shu Niannian continued to ask, "But the last time you wrote to me, you clearly wanted to draw a line between us. Between the lines, you told me that you are my elder. Now you tell me that you like me, and I don't know which of your words are true and which are false? Maybe you are saying that you like me now, but when you wake up from a sleep, you regret it and then find some excuse to get rid of me?"
When the letter was mentioned, Shu Niannian saw a flash of sadness in Ye Jinhong's eyes. He took a few breaths and then slowly said, "It's my fault."
"Jianjun got drunk and cried to me that he regretted it."
Ye Jinhong didn't say much, but just one sentence made Shu Niannian understand his concerns.
"So when you wiped my mouth, it wasn't some kind of elder's care for the younger generation, you actually liked me, right?"
Ye Jinhong did not evade the question, nor did he evade the question with his words. He said directly and frankly, "Yes, I like you, but this liking is based on the premise that you are not Jianjun's fiancée."
So before that, he confirmed with Shu Niannian over and over again whether she really would not be with Lu Jianjun anymore.
Shu Niannian got the answer she wanted and started to become arrogant, "I don't like Lu Jianjun, but that doesn't mean I have to be with you?"
Shu Niannian drank all the water in the cup and placed the empty cup on the table.
Ye Jinhong consciously refilled Shu Niannian's water, "I know this, so I want to ask you to give me a chance to pursue you. Can you please not go on a blind date with others first?"
Ye Jinhong's eyes were dark. He stared at Shu Niannian with such a sharp gaze that Shu Niannian quickly gave in. She said automatically, "Okay."
A smile spread across Ye Jinhong's lips. Shu Niannian pounded the table in annoyance. How could she agree so easily? !
Ye Jinhong seemed to have guessed what Shu Niannian was thinking. Before Shu Niannian could say anything to regret, Ye Jinhong said, "You must keep your word. You are a man of your word!"
Shu Niannian was so choked that she could only glare at Ye Jinhong angrily.
"I'm not a man. I'm just a little girl. I can't go back on my word."
Ye Jinhong smiled and said nothing. He just pushed the braised chicken in front of Shu Niannian and served her a bowl of steaming mushroom soup.
Shu Niannian was not very hungry at first, but for some reason, ever since Ye Jinhong spoke, she suddenly felt relieved. At this moment, when she smelled the aroma of the braised chicken, Shu Niannian felt extremely greedy.
She didn't care about her image anymore and ate heartily in front of Ye Jinhong.
The braised chicken is spicy and tender, the mushroom soup has just the right flavor, and paired with a bowl of fragrant and chewy white rice, Shu Niannian feels particularly satisfied with the meal.
After Ye Jinhong made his feelings clear to Shu Niannian, his behavior became much bolder. Before, when he walked with Shu Niannian, he always deliberately kept a distance from her. Now, Ye Jinhong walked beside Shu Niannian, as close as he could, and occasionally accidentally touched Shu Niannian's arm.
The two came out of the restaurant and went all the way to the department store, but the department store was closed. Next to the big red couplet, there was a notice posted saying that because the employees had to go home for the New Year, the department store would be open as usual on the 16th day of the first lunar month.
Thinking about the situation in later generations where shopping malls and small and medium-sized enterprises do not take holidays on New Year’s Eve, Shu Niannian deeply feels that the businesses in the 1980s and 1990s were more conscientious. This is probably one of the reasons why the New Year atmosphere is stronger in this era.
Unable to go to the department store, Shu Niannian and Ye Jinhong walked back along the curb. On the way, Shu Niannian told Ye Jinhong the alleged purpose of her visit.
Ye Jinhong frowned and said, "The wife of one of my comrades is in the Security Inspection Bureau. I will ask you about the situation later and see if there are any precautions."
Shu Niannian was overjoyed. She originally wanted to chat with Ye Jinhong, but she didn't expect that Ye Jinhong had an acquaintance in the Security Inspection Bureau?
"That's great. Go ask around and tell Zhang Chunyang. With your inside information, the products we send in for inspection will surely pass quickly and get the final certificate."
Ye Jinhong seemed to have turned on some kind of switch, and he began to flatter her, "Yes! You are so good, the cream you make will definitely pass the inspection quickly."
Shu Niannian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Have you ever used the face cream I made?"
Originally, Shu Niannian wanted to deliberately find fault and ridicule Ye Jinhong, but Ye Jinhong said, "I have been using it all the time."
Shu Niannian's eyes widened. "Is it true?" She tilted her head and thought for a moment, then concluded, "No! You couldn't have used it. The creams sold on the counter are all functional creams." At this point, Shu Niannian looked up and took a closer look at Ye Jinhong's face. His eyebrows were slightly raised, his eyes were sharp, his facial features were strong, and his skin was smooth and tight. Not to mention, Ye Jinhong's skin was indeed more tender than that of ordinary men. "Did you really use it?"
Being stared at by Shu Niannian, Ye Jinhong felt a little embarrassed. He avoided Shu Niannian's sight and lowered his head and said, "Yes, I used it!"
He wanted to dodge, but Shu Niannian moved closer to his face. She wanted to take a few more glances at Ye Jinhong's skin condition, but Ye Jinhong kept dodging. Helplessly, Shu Niannian had to hold Ye Jinhong's head with her hands. The tips of Ye Jinhong's ears instantly turned red and bleeding. He stood there, bending down and letting Shu Niannian hold his face, rubbing, rubbing, and pinching it.
Ye Jinhong:! ! !
Shu Niannian, "You know what, it feels really good! Let me guess, which one did you use?"
Shu Niannian used Ye Jinhong's face as a prop and began to mutter to herself, "Your skin is smooth and tight. Did you use a moisturizing cream?"
Of all the creams in the Miraculous Rejuvenating Cream, she could only think of this one that Ye Jinhong could use. "Is it hydrating? Am I right?"
Ye Jinhong's cheeks began to heat up. He was afraid that Shu Niannian would notice something, so he quickly took Shu Niannian's hand away. Looking into Shu Niannian's eyes, he said sincerely, "Not entirely. I also used anti-wrinkle products."
Shu Niannian's hand fell into Ye Jinhong's palm and was held tightly by Ye Jinhong. He controlled the strength. The bomb was in his hand, and he could control the strength accurately. He could make it explode at any time. Now he was just holding Shu Niannian's hand, but his palms were sweating from nervousness?
Shu Niannian felt the dampness on her hand, pursed her lips and chuckled, then quickly broke free from Ye Jinhong's palm, only holding Ye Jinhong's little finger, and the two of them walked slowly on the road holding hands.
"Is it like when we were kids? I asked you to take me out shopping? I wanted to hold the corner of your clothes, but you were worried and asked me to hold your finger?" Shu Niannian shook Ye Jinhong's fingers and chuckled.
"Yes, you were very naughty when you were a child, always making endless excuses. You were more difficult to deal with than you are now, a little troublemaker!" Ye Jinhong quickly grabbed Shu Niannian's fingers in his palm and interlocked their fingers.
Shu Niannian blushed.
No matter how much it was like when they were little, they were no longer little after all, not to mention that they had just made their relationship clear. Shu Niannian's heart was beating wildly, and Ye Jinhong seemed calm on the surface, but he was actually extremely nervous. Not only were his palms sweating, but the temperature of his cheeks was also rising. If he used a mercury thermometer to measure his temperature, it would definitely be a high fever.
"Can we move to the suite tonight?" Ye Jinhong suddenly said this to Shu Niannian when the two of them walked to the opposite side of the restaurant where Ye Jinhong was having dinner.
Shu Niannian was reluctant, "But I've already settled in. It would be troublesome to change now."
"But I'm worried. Looking at the whole Haicheng, there is no place safer than my suite. You probably don't know that during the Spring Festival, the number of theft cases in Haicheng is several times higher than usual. Many people with bad intentions like to commit crimes at this time."
Shu Niannian originally thought that it didn't matter whether she changed rooms or not, since she wouldn't be staying there for more than two days anyway. But now after hearing what Ye Jinhong said, Shu Niannian felt that it would be better to move there. She didn't want to cause any trouble in Haicheng.
The two talked for a while, and then Shu Niannian went back to pack her luggage. Later, she and Shu Wenhui would go to Ye Jinhong's suite to stay temporarily.
Ye Jinhong returned to the hotel. If several leaders and elders were not here today, he would have wanted to go directly with Shu Niannian. Ye Jinhong's heart was burning with excitement and he didn't want to be separated from Shu Niannian for a moment. He watched Shu Niannian walk away reluctantly, and then turned around and walked towards the meal. Who knew that as soon as he stepped into the door, a questioning female voice sounded behind him, "Who is the woman who just talked to you across the street?"
