Fu Yanzhou didn't understand her train of thought sometimes.
This assumption makes no sense, because she didn't like him at all before marriage, so how could she confess her love to him? They married for profit, and before the marriage, all kinds of benefits were discussed clearly.
His marriage seemed to have a price tag on it. After discussing the exchange of interests between the two families that night, he suddenly felt that this marriage was boring.
That day he asked her: Are you willing?
If she marries for profit, will she regret it if she meets someone she likes again one day?
Min Xi replied to him: If I arrange the marriage, my brother can marry the person he likes.
Born in a family like theirs, one can decide on one's own when it comes to love, but marriage is often beyond one's control. She sacrificed her own marriage in exchange for Min Ting's happy marriage.
At that moment, he envied Min Ting.
And he was just the best choice that she thought met all the requirements, and it had nothing to do with feelings.
Fu Yanzhou didn't answer her directly, but asked, "Why did you suddenly think of asking this?"
Min Xi was straightforward and firm: "It's not sudden, I've been wanting to ask for a long time."
I want to know if he is still willing to be with her, regardless of interests.
The wait for an answer is extremely long and tiring.
Just like going back to the time before their marriage, she boldly confessed her love to him, not knowing whether surprise or sadness was waiting for her.
Min Xi wanted to appear calm, so he picked up a shirt from the closet and folded it. His mind was in a mess, he was holding his shirt in his hands and looking at it, but he had no idea what kind of clothes he was folding.
The buttons are usually fastened one by one by a machine.
Fu Yanzhou wondered how to respond. With her proud personality, it was not easy for her to take the initiative to express her affection for him last night.
He was reluctant to let her expectations go unfulfilled: "I will accept you and give it a try. If you tease me every day, it's hard to say how long we can date and whether we will get married in the end."
Min Xi's heart skipped a beat, and after folding her clothes, she could see clearly that it was his black shirt.
She calmed herself down and pretended to denounce him: "We've already talked about it, and you're still willing to break up with me?"
Fu Yanzhou replied seriously: "If we are still in this state of relationship, I won't be willing to leave."
He looked at his watch and made endless assumptions, and realized that he would miss the meeting.
"Anything else you want to ask?"
Min Xi raised the corners of her mouth slightly: "That's all. I can barely help you pass this question." She didn't have a mirror in her hand, so she couldn't see that her expression at this moment was the same as the day she took the wedding photos, with an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
She waved her hand: "You are busy."
On the way to the meeting, Fu Yanzhou thought all the way, if she really confessed to him before the marriage, would he agree to her?
First of all, Min Xi’s personality is not the type he likes.
But if you refuse, how can you refuse?
So many people confessed to him in the past, and he didn't have any psychological burden after rejecting them, but he just didn't know how to reject Min Xi. He suddenly thought of the question Zhou Yu asked him last night. Suppose it really happened, Chu Yi liked Min Xi, and Min Xi happened to confess to him, how would he choose?
It was not until he reached the conference center that Fu Yanzhou stopped thinking.
He should accept her.
The car stopped and Fu Yanzhou got out. Before he had taken a few steps, he heard a car horn behind him and turned to look.
A black Bentley drove slowly over. It was Jiang Cheng's license plate. It was the first time he saw it.
Min Ting opened the car window and picked up a zippered soft bag from the armrest box. Inside was his sister's passport and related documents, as well as the miscellaneous items she would need for her long-distance flight.
The driver stopped the car, but he was too lazy to get out and handed the ziplock bag out of the car window.
I went to my sister's villa at midnight yesterday and brought her the passport. He had only been to Jiangcheng twice and was unfamiliar with the place, so Yan Heyu arranged a car to pick him up at the airport.
His sister insisted that he open the safe himself, and he thought there were rare gems or important business secrets in it. But when he opened the safe, he found no documents or jewelry. All of them were things from ten years ago. He didn't look through them, but just glanced at them. There were several notebooks from her school days, and at the bottom were a few old high school textbooks, and something similar to a ticket folder that he couldn't name. He didn't know what treasures were inside.
Everything in the safe could be sold as scrap for less than five dollars.
Some things may not be accepted by the scrapyard.
That's it, she treated it as a treasure lock and safe.
Later I thought that maybe the safe was too shabby and my sister was embarrassed to let others see it, so she asked him to take it.
After getting his passport, he decided to come to Jiangcheng on the spur of the moment.
During this period, Yan Heyu contacted him every now and then, asking him to take time to come to Jiangcheng to see the business environment in Jiangcheng. Yan Heyu meant to ask him to invest, and he just took this opportunity to come here.
When Min Ting gave Fu Yanzhou the passport, he couldn't help but ask, "Are you really going on vacation, or are you just putting on a show for your family?"
Fu Yanzhou took the zipper bag from him and mocked, "Do you think I'm like you, with nothing to do after eating?"
Min Ting: “…Heh.”
He is not just bored.
Ever since he knew that his parents had no feelings for each other but had acted as a loving couple in front of him and his sister for nearly 30 years, he couldn't help but wonder if his sister's marriage was the same as his parents'.
He wished it were different.
I am also afraid that my sister will follow in my mother's footsteps.
Neither of them was interested in continuing the conversation, so Min Ting told the driver to drive.
Fu Yanzhou handed his passport to the bodyguard and went straight into the venue.
--
Min Xi had lunch alone at noon. Fu Yanzhou had a dinner party and was too busy to accompany her. Min Ting did not tell her that he was in Jiangcheng. She had nothing to do in the afternoon, so she drove around Jiangcheng.
The autumn in Jiangcheng comes later than that in Beijing, and the leaves are not yet yellow.
Min Xi parked the car on a tree-lined avenue and opened the sunroof. The sky was azure blue with light clouds. There is an osmanthus tree nearby, and bursts of faint fragrance waft over.
Jiangcheng is located in the south of the Yangtze River. It has beautiful mountains and rivers, and the pace of life is not that fast, making it very livable.
Her favorite is the B&B in Jiangcheng. She has never stayed there, but Yan Heyu said that there are several B&Bs with unique features, surrounded by mountains and rivers, with smoke curling up.
Both times she came to Jiangcheng, she was in a hurry to accompany Fu Yanzhou to meetings. Next time, she would find an opportunity to experience every homestay.
Min Xi sent a message to her mother: [Mom, how about we wait until next spring and come to Jiangcheng for fun? Instead of going to any scenic spots, you can book a homestay and enjoy the mountains and water without being disturbed by anyone. Yan Heyu is familiar with Jiangcheng, so he can make proper arrangements without mobilizing a large force. 】
Jiang Rui’s only principle is to make her daughter happy. She has no bottom line towards her daughter. Even her son says to her: Mom, where is your bottom line?
She doesn't know either.
She tried her best to satisfy her daughter's wishes to go: "Okay, let your dad arrange the time." Jiangcheng is most comfortable around May, and it becomes hot in June. Your father stayed in Jiangcheng for two years. You were three years and two months old at that time.
Dead
Your father was transferred when you were five years and one month old. 】
Min Xi was shocked at her mother's good memory: [Mom, you definitely love Dad (snickering)]
Jiang Rui: [Mom’s love for you is true, and everyone else’s is fake. 】
Min Xi was amused by his mother and sent her a cute emoticon package.
Just after finishing the chat here, Ju Youyou sent her a message.
[Sister Min, have a nice vacation. You don’t have to reply to me, it’s just some gossip. I just heard a rumor from Shengshi Technology that Sheng Jianqi’s ex-girlfriend got married and got the marriage certificate today. 】
[We are so lucky. If Sheng Jianqi knew on the day of the press conference that the person he liked had gotten over the breakup and quickly got into a new relationship, and was even going to get a marriage certificate, would we still be able to live a good life? 】
[The news spread like wildfire inside Shengshi Technology.] 】
[They are all happy for you, saying that if the project had not been completed, you would definitely have a hard time, and Sheng Jianqi would have been picking on you every day. 】
[I heard that Sheng Jianqi likes his ex-girlfriend very much.] 】
Min Xi: [Mr. Yu is not in the company this afternoon? 】
Ju Youyou: [Hahaha]
[Sister Min, you still understand me~]
Only when Yu Chengtan is not in the company does she have time to slack off.
[Mr. Yu has made an appointment to play golf this afternoon. It is his private schedule and I don’t need to follow. 】
Ju Youyou pulled herself away from the gossip and started talking seriously about work, making sure before speaking: [Sister Min, what are you doing now? 】
Min Xi: [Breathing fresh air on the roadside, waiting for Fu Yanzhou to finish the meeting. 】
When Ju Youyou heard that she was free, she typed quickly: [I heard that Wu Qianxin resigned from Zhuoran. It happened this morning. Everyone in Zhuoran is guessing why Wu Qianxin left. 】
He said he resigned, but maybe he was fired.
At Wu Qianxin's level, he has made contributions and worked hard for the company. Even if he makes a mistake, as long as it does not seriously damage the company's interests, the company will try its best to give him enough respect.
Wu Qianxin plays a very important role in Zhuoran Public Relations. We don’t know what his character is like, but his ability is beyond doubt.
After Zhu Youran and Wu Qian formed a new partnership, Zhuoran became unmatched in the industry in terms of crisis public relations.
In recent years, several crisis public relations handled by Zhu Youran and Wu Qianxin were textbook-level. Professors at the School of Public Relations regarded them as classic cases and analyzed them in class.
The former partners suddenly parted ways. Even a fool would not believe that there was no gossip.
Min Xi asked: [What is the reason for leaving? 】
Ju Youyou: [It is said that Wu Qianxin wants to retire early and enjoy life. 】
Wu Qianxin is in his early forties, which is the ceiling for workers in the public relations industry. It seems reasonable for him to say that he wants to retire and take care of his health.
Min Xi was about to reply when Fu Yanzhou called her and asked her to go back to the hotel and prepare to go to the airport.
[Let’s not talk about it now. I have a plane to catch. We can talk in detail after I get to work. 】
Min Xi started the car and the two-kilometer drive took only a few minutes.
When she returned to the room, she saw a large suitcase in the living room, and the suitcases that she and Fu Yanzhou brought from home were next to it.
"husband."
Fu Yanzhou was changing clothes. It was a long-haul flight, so he took off the business suit he wore for the meeting and changed into casual clothes. He vaguely heard a voice saying "husband", but he didn't think it was calling him.
When I realized it was Min Xi's voice, I realized that he was calling him.
"Fu Yanzhou?"
"In the bathroom."
Min Xi walked to the door, but didn't push it open. He leaned against the door and asked, "Is the other box yours?"
"I bought you summer clothes." It was late spring and early summer on the Gold Coast, and the clothes she brought to Jiangcheng were not thick enough to be worn there. He asked Secretary Bai to call the flagship store and have a batch of skirts sent directly over. They were all next spring styles, and he couldn't guarantee whether the styles would suit her taste.
"You wear whatever you like."
"Thank you." She had a skirt and suspenders in her suitcase. She had planned to buy two more if she saw any nice skirts there.
"Has my passport been delivered?"
"Yeah." Fu Yanzhou thought she knew that it was Min Ting who delivered it personally, so he didn't say much. The name he least wanted to mention was Min Ting's name.
Since the day they got the marriage certificate, when Min Xi said that she was marrying him for Min Ting, he had an objection to the name Min Ting.
The two changed into comfortable clothes and set off for the airport.
All of Min Xi's previous travels were arranged by Min Ting. She just had fun and even the places to eat were booked in advance by Min Ting.
She didn't have to worry about this vacation.
"Which hotel are you staying in? How many days will you be there?" she asked then.
Fu Yanzhou: "We live in our own house, next to Zhou Yu's." He forgot whether he had told her who Zhou Yu was, and added: "My university classmate."
Min Xi nodded. When talking about his college life, she had many regrets.
"When will I visit your school?" Make up for the regret.
Fu Yanzhou was looking at his phone and asked casually, "Didn't you go there often before? Do you still want to go?"
"Yes. Let's go back to the old place again. This time you take me around."
Every time she went there before, he was not the one to accompany her.
During those years, whenever she had a long vacation, she would bring different friends to travel to his city and visit their school.
Then call Yan Heyu and invite him to have dinner together.
Two out of three times he was not free to eat.
In fact, she flew over specifically to see him, but she had no suitable reason, so traveling became her shield. At that time he must have thought that her life was just about eating, drinking and having fun.
When they got on the plane, Min Xi sat next to Fu Yanzhou and watched a movie.
Fu Yanzhou had no time to rest, so the originally planned four-day trip in Jiangcheng was shortened to two days as there were many things to deal with.
After dealing with emails for an hour, he asked the flight attendant to prepare a cup of coffee and asked Min Xi what he wanted to eat.
There aren’t that many dishes prepared on private jets, but they are exquisite.
Min Xi suddenly wanted to eat dessert and ordered another cup of lemon tea.
Fu Yanzhou crossed his legs, leaned back in his seat to rest, and looked out the window. He didn't know which city he was in, but the night sky was full of lights.
Min Xi turned to look at him inadvertently. He had an indifferent expression and was looking out the window with a dull look. It was unknown what he was thinking.
She took off her headphones and tugged at his sleeve: "Are you done?"
Fu Yanzhou turned around: "No. Rest for a few minutes."
Min Xi moved over and sat closer to him, "Then play a game to relax."
Fu Yanzhou: "What game?"
Min Xi asked what he meant: "How about playing truth or dare?" Today she was frank with him for once. As long as he asked her, she would tell him everything, including when she started to like him and how long she had liked him.
She also kept his things.
Fu Yanzhou looked at her helplessly, thinking it was just a new game. He never played such boring games, including at high school reunions, and no one would make an exception for him.
Let's make an exception today.
He offered: "I choose the big dare."
There were only the two of them, so she couldn't play well no matter how she played.
Min Xi: "…The game hasn't started yet. You may not be the loser. Are you sure you want to choose the big dare?"
Fu Yanzhou nodded: "OK."
"You confessed your love to me until I was moved."
“…”
Min Xi smiled: "You made your own choice. You can't blame me."
He was silent for more than half a minute, and she didn't force him. The purpose of playing this game was to relax him, not to embarrass him. "If you really can't think of how to confess, then I'll try another adventure."
"No need." Fu Yanzhou had already thought about it during the silence: "You have a good attitude, are calm and persistent, and have charisma..."
Min Xi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and pushed him, "You're just being sarcastic, not confessing."
"I'm not being sarcastic." Fu Yanzhou held one of her hands to prevent her from moving, and said lovingly, "Don't interrupt me. I haven't finished."
Min Xi supported his chin with his other hand, pretending to be listening attentively. No matter what he said, she would let him pass even if he said a few words casually. The game was meant for fun, and she wouldn't take it seriously.
"I used to think these traits had nothing to do with you because I didn't know you at the time."
Fu Yanzhou looked into her eyes, and their eyes met. He continued, "Let's talk about your personality. You have a stubborn temper, are willful and unreasonable, and always find fault. But in my opinion, no one can compare to you. Whether you change your personality or not, it will not affect my liking for you."
Min Xi was a loser. He knew that this was a game and he was following the rules, but his eyes became moist unconsciously as he listened and she hurriedly turned her eyes away from him.
After being at a loss for a few seconds, she hugged him and said, "No matter what, even if it's a big risk, I'll take it seriously."
Fu Yanzhou raised his hand, held her in his arms, and gently stroked her back.
The dessert she ordered was ready and the flight attendant brought it to her.
Min Xi let go of his waist, turned around and sat down, then picked up the fork and ate the dessert as if nothing had happened.
My heart is pounding and I can't calm down.
