Chapter 276 Chapter 276 There must be an ulterior motive
Yang Li sighed slightly, her eyes full of confusion about life.
After a pause, she continued rambling, "Actually, I don't really want to get married. I just want to live my own life well. Or rather, I don't want to marry just anyone."
“It makes a difference who you live with!”
"My mom has lived with my dad all her life, and all I've seen is hardship. My dad is never considerate and is a bit chauvinistic. If my mom does something wrong, he'll keep nagging and blaming her. Even if my mom admits her mistake, he won't let her off easily."
Yang Li felt sad when she thought of her parents' suffocating marriage, and she was also worried that she would meet such a man.
That's not a marriage, that's a lifelong disaster.
"Lily! Stop worrying about it. If you don't want your parents to pressure you into marriage, then just work hard. Once you have money, your parents won't push you to get married anymore!"
Li Meng smiled and comforted her.
But Yang Li's smile became even more miserable.
"My mom says it's better for a woman to marry well than to work well! She said, no matter how well I do at work now, I still have to get married. If I marry late, I will definitely not be able to find a good man. In short, a woman will get married sooner or later, and it's better to marry early than late."
"...Did your mother live in the 19th century?"
Li Meng disagreed. After all, getting married was her own business. Her so-called mother had long since stopped caring about her for the sake of her wealth and glory.
Speaking of this, Shen Qinghuan's situation is not much different from hers.
People like them will probably never experience the fear of being urged to get married by their parents.
Shen Qinghuan just smiled silently without saying anything.
The cell phone on the coffee table rang at an inopportune time.
Shen Qinghuan reached out and picked it up.
Zhou Sinian?
She was stunned.
"Hello? Doctor Zhou."
Shen Qinghuan still liked to call him Doctor Zhou. It didn't seem too familiar nor strange either. She really couldn't bring herself to call him Brother Si Nian, especially when there were other people around.
Zhou Sinian raised his eyebrows. "I heard you moved to a new house. Do you need someone to help warm the house?"
Shen Qinghuan: “?”
How did he know she had moved to a new house?
Apart from Li Meng and Yang Li, she hadn't told anyone else, let alone Zhou Sinian.
"Um, Li Meng is hanging out here with a colleague from our studio. If you have time, I can send you their location and you can drive over by yourself."
Now that things have come to this, it would be unreasonable for her not to invite him.
On the other end of the phone, Zhou Sinian raised his lips slightly, apparently very satisfied with Shen Qinghuan's reaction, "Then I'll go over later. Is there anything you need? I'll buy it and bring it with me when I go over."
Shen Qinghuan curved her lips and said, "We don't need anything. Just come."
Zhou Sinian: "Then I understand. I'll be at your house in about an hour."
Shen Qinghuan: "See you later."
After ending the call with Zhou Sinian, she leaned lazily on the pillow as if nothing had happened. When she raised her eyes, she met Li Meng's pair of eyes with a meaningful smile.
Knowing what Li Meng was thinking, Shen Qinghuan rolled his eyes at her unhappily, "It's useless for you to look at me."
Li Meng raised her eyebrows slyly and asked calmly, "You don't really plan to be alone for the rest of your life, do you?"
"We'll talk about the future later."
At this stage, she just wants to work hard.
In fact, Li Meng knew very well that it was not so easy to forget the person she fell in love with at first sight when she was young! What's more, he occupied Shen Qinghuan's entire adolescence.
Yang Li was completely confused, but she didn't dare to ask any more questions.
She only knew that Shen Qinghuan's ex-husband came from a wealthy family, but they still separated because of certain things.
When Zhou Sinian arrived, Shen Qinghuan had already prepared the meal.
In addition to rice, all the delicious dishes on the table are made by the chef who awakens the flavors.
Shen Qinghuan's cooking skills are not very good, except for cooking noodles, the other skills are not worth mentioning.
"This is a housewarming present for you."
Zhou Sinian handed Shen Qinghuan a beautifully packaged box.
Shen Qinghuan took it reluctantly, her eyebrows curved into a beautiful arc, "Thank you, Doctor Zhou, I'll accept it."
The box was a bit heavy, so she placed it on the coffee table in the living room.
"Let's eat first! It won't taste good if it gets cold."
…
The dinner for four was harmonious and pleasant.
Perhaps because she was too happy, Shen Qinghuan drank a little too much. She curled up the corners of her lips and smiled, her fair little face flushed red, as if it was dyed with the most beautiful clouds in the sky at summer evening.
Looking at such a moving scenery, Zhou Sinian was distracted for a moment, and his eyes dimmed slightly.
"Let's go home after drinking this! It's getting late." Li Meng suggested with a smile.
Yang Li naturally had no objection.
Zhou Sinian also nodded.
But Shen Qinghuan was unhappy. Her pretty lips pursed slightly as she retorted to Li Meng in a bad mood, "How can it be late? Isn't it still quite early? It's only... a little after nine o'clock."
She looked up at the artistic clock on the wall, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes seemed to be covered with a thin mist.
"There are exactly four of us. How about we play cards?"
“…”
This is really drinking too much.
Li Meng sighed helplessly and silently winked at Yang Li and Zhou Sinian, asking them to leave first. If they followed Shen Qinghuan's instructions, they would have to play until twelve o'clock at least.
Yang Li understood immediately, picked up her bag on the sofa, and tiptoed away.
Zhou Sinian didn't seem to understand Li Meng's expression.
"Doctor Zhou, aren't you leaving?"
As a last resort, Li Meng had to bite the bullet and drive the man away.
Zhou Sinian frowned suspiciously, "Doesn't she want to play cards?" He just wanted to stay with her for a while longer. Since she asked to stay, he would naturally listen to her. Even if she didn't ask, he would find a way to stay longer.
Li Meng: “!”
He did it on purpose!
Could it be that he has ulterior motives towards Huanbao?
Zhou Sinian smiled slightly, and said nonchalantly: "The three of us can play too."
Li Meng was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but put her hand on her forehead. She had just said that Dr. Zhou was a good person, but now she wanted to say the same thing! This person was too difficult to deal with. Are all smart people like this?
Holding back her dissatisfaction, Li Meng turned her head to glance at Shen Qinghuan, who was already lying on the sofa in a daze, and asked seriously, "Doctor Zhou, do you like my Huanbao?"
Zhou Sinian's fingers that were playing with his phone suddenly tightened, but the smile in his eyes remained warm.
He was silent for a moment, then looked up at Shen Qinghuan on the sofa.
The girl had obviously drunk a little too much and was lying there quietly with a soft pillow stuffed in her arms.
Her cheeks flushed slightly, as if stained with the juice of the delicate petals on the branches...
"Doctor Zhou, you're not afraid to admit it, are you? Then you really are..."
