Chapter 68 Chapter 68
Because he often stayed near the China World Trade Center when he returned to China, Wen Shuo had a long-term suite in a five-star hotel.
After the door was closed, the air was suddenly filled with ambiguous feelings.
Wen Shuo held her in his arms, and Ren Li was forced to get close to him. They faced each other, and their intermingled breaths instantly ignited the fuse. He kissed her lips, as if he wanted to rub her into his body.
It was not until an hour later that the tense atmosphere in the room eased a little.
It’s not that Wen Shuo is satisfied - Ren Li hasn’t agreed to take him further yet, and he will never feel satisfied.
Ren Li's phone rang.
She thought it was something about work, so she just held Wen Shuo back with her hand: "Wait, let me check my phone first."
"Don't answer it," Wen Shuo said. "It's your break time now, don't deal with work."
He continued to kiss her. Ren Li had originally planned to silence her phone, but when she saw who was calling, she suddenly became nervous.
"Wait a minute, it's my dad."
Wen Shuo was also stunned. During his pause, Ren Li instantly jumped up from the bed.
She tidied up her messy hair, signaled Wen Shuo not to speak, and after adjusting her breathing several times, she pressed the call button.
"Hello, Dad..." She tried hard to make her voice sound normal, but her eyes would still steal a glance at Wen Shuo beside her from time to time, and her guilty conscience was obvious.
Fortunately, Ren Quan on the other end of the phone didn't notice anything unusual: "Lili, are you asleep? Is it too late to disturb you?"
"No, my phone was muted just now." Ren Li said.
"Nothing, just your mom wanted me to ask what time you and Xiaowen will arrive tomorrow and whether I need to pick you up early."
Ren Li turned to look at Wen Shuo and said, "No need, Dad. We'll drive back tomorrow and you can just wait for us at home. You and Mom don't have to worry too much. We'll probably arrive tomorrow at noon. I'll message you after we leave."
"Okay, Lili, your mother and I will be waiting for you at home tomorrow."
"Okay." Ren Li paused and then said, "Dad, I miss you and Mom so much."
Hearing his daughter say this, Ren Quan couldn't help but feel touched: "Lili, your mother and I miss you too."
Ren Li's nose felt sore: "Fortunately, we can meet tomorrow."
After hanging up the phone, Wen Shuo pestered her again. He sat on the sofa, put his arm around her waist with interest, and pulled her close to him: "Lili, why am I suddenly a little nervous?"
Wen Shuo would be nervous? Ren Li naturally didn't believe it at all: "You're lying, when have you ever been nervous?"
"Really." Wen Shuo said, "When I first met your father, I felt inexplicably nervous."
"Impossible, my dad is a very nice guy." Ren Li said, "Wait, when did you meet him?"
Wen Shuo smiled: "That's not important. What's important is that he is my future father-in-law. What if I don't behave well in front of him tomorrow and he refuses to marry you?"
"Whether I want to marry you or not is up to me." Ren Li couldn't help but laugh when she thought about Wen Shuo being nervous in front of her father. "If I insist on getting married, he will definitely not be able to do anything to me."
"Will you marry me?" he asked.
Ren Li: “…”
She felt that she couldn't answer this question right now.
She didn't want to lie to Wen Shuo. She liked him, but she felt it was too early to say it now.
She was silent for a few seconds and felt Wen Shuo's body tense slightly in front of her. She knew that if she nodded, he would kneel down and propose to her on the spot.
After all, he is Wen Shuo, and everything he does seems reasonable.
"I... haven't thought about it yet."
She expressed her thoughts honestly, and Wen Shuo was obviously a little discouraged, and suddenly felt a sense of crisis: "Why, do you only want to date me? Don't you want to marry me?"
He asked several questions in a row. Ren Li did not doubt Wen Shuo's sincerity, but she had her own plans now:
"It's not that I don't like you. It's just that I don't want to make a decision so easily. Maybe at some point in the future, I'll suddenly want to agree, but not now."
Wen Shuo: “…”
Sure enough, it’s really hard to guess what girls are thinking.
He suddenly understood what Ren Li meant by "moment".
Boys only look forward to the results, while girls care about the moment.
He now seemed to understand why Ren Li agreed to his confession. The beach, the fireworks, and the canceled open-air movie. Perhaps she liked that moment.
So Wen Shuo even thought that he should call Song Jin today and ask him to arrange the itinerary for the subsequent romantic destinations, such as the Swiss snow-capped mountains, the snow scenery of Sapporo, the Pacific Islands... As long as it is romantic enough, he can propose to Ren Li in every scene until Ren Li agrees to marry him.
Ren Li certainly didn't know what Wen Shuo was thinking, and that wasn't what she meant. She just felt that she was only in her early twenties and it was too early to get married.
But she knew that her "rejection" made Wen Shuo sad, so she quickly took the initiative to kiss him, trying to coax him: "That's not what I meant. I like you and want to be with you forever."
The way she spoke sweet words softly always pleased Wen Shuo. He seemed to be encouraged by her actions, and in the blink of an eye he began to push his luck further:
"Ms. Ren, what you just said hurt me. In order to make up for my trauma, you have to comfort me a few more times tonight."
This "comfort" is really... hard not to associate something with it, and Ren Li's cheeks flushed again.
It was only after they were together that Ren Li realized how difficult Wen Shuo was to deal with.
She glanced at the time and saw that it was still some time before twelve o'clock, so she finally decided to eat a piece of strawberry cake first.
-
"Come, Xiao Wen, have some tea."
There was freshly brewed tea on the table. Wen Shuo sat on the sofa in the living room of Ren Li's house, nodded slightly to Ren Quan, then leaned over to take the teacup he handed over.
After returning home, Ren Li sat in the living room and chatted for a few minutes before running to the kitchen to find Lin Yuan. After all, they hadn't seen each other for a long time, and mother and daughter always had endless topics to talk about.
So now, there were only two of them left in the living room.
A face-to-face encounter between real men.
His "future father-in-law" was still the same as when he met him four years ago. Although he had a gentle smile on his face, just sitting there made people feel a sense of oppression for no reason.
That feeling of oppression was different from that of his grandfather Wen Yusheng. The old man's sense of oppression was obvious and overt, while Ren Quan's was silent and restrained.
Every time he looked at her, Wen Shuo felt as if he was being seen through. This was his first official visit, and Wen Shuo hoped to make a perfect first impression.
"I heard from Lili that you're in the United States now." Ren Quan took a sip of tea and asked casually, "So, what are your plans next?"
"Things with the US company have come to an end, and things with the Asian branch have also been getting back on track recently." Wen Shuo put down his teacup. "Lili and I have already discussed this. Lili wants to stay in Beijing, and my future direction will gradually shift to China, so that I can spend more time with her."
"It's truly remarkable that you've achieved so much at such a young age," Ren Quan said. "Ever since Lili started college, her mother and I have been missing her so much. Living so far away, we don't know if she's happy every day. We're relieved to have you by her side and be able to look after each other."
"Of course. I promise you, I'll take good care of Lili."
Ren Quan nodded, and suddenly felt a little sad.
His most precious daughter had grown up now. He was happy for her, but also a little sad that she could no longer be by his side every day like when she was little.
Fortunately, the future son-in-law she chose was Wen Shuo, who came from a clean family and was young and promising. He also knew that Wen Shuo and Ren Li had known each other since high school and knew each other well, so he was very confident in him.
"By the way, is Mr. Wen doing well recently?"
"Grandpa is doing well. Lately, because my parents aren't in China very often, he's been feeling bored, so he's been living in a nursing home for the past few years. Every day, there are a lot of people playing chess and chatting with him, and he's quite happy."
"Have you told him about what happened between you and Lili?"
Wen Shuo nodded. "I did. He's quite happy. He used to keep asking me to bring Lili over to see her, but since we've been so busy, he's been quiet about it for the past few years."
In recent years.
Ren Quan suddenly gave Wen Shuo a meaningful look: "Lili told me that you two just got together this year, but I feel like you've been together for a long time."
In fact, he had always suspected that his daughter had been in love with Wen Shuo even earlier.
He still remembered the year when Ren Li fell ill with a fever. After receiving the call, he hurried to Yihe Hospital and met Wen Shuo for the first time in Wen Lao's ward.
It was still dark around 6 or 7 that day, and Wen Shuo shouldn't have been there so early. Now he finally understood that it was he who had taken Ren Li to the hospital and stayed by her side all night.
Later, when he was transferred to the province, the old man contacted him very frequently, often looking for him happily, but without saying anything, just chatting. Later, Mr. Wen used his connections to solve many problems for him. When he went to visit him, the old man was very polite to him.
He has always respected Wen Yusheng and guessed that he did this because of Wen Shuo.
But he felt that it didn't matter when Ren Li and Wen Shuo were together. It was a matter between young people and he didn't need to ask too much.
"I already liked Ren Li when I was in high school." Wen Shuo did not hide it, "but grandpa only found out about it later."
Ren Quan nodded and decided not to ask any more questions. Since he was the one Ren Li liked, he would always respect his daughter's choice.
