Chapter 137 The Coal Boss's Dark Moonlight 05
Shen Xinran and Zhou Yaoqi walked slowly forward. It was evening, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on them, giving them a golden edge.
Zhou Yaojun suddenly stopped, turned to look at Shen Xinran, and asked, "Is your leg okay?"
Shen Xinran nodded, "It's fine now."
Zhou Yaoqi's eyes were focused. "You know, you said you wanted to think about it yesterday, and I couldn't sleep the whole night."
Shen Xinran lowered his head and whispered, "Why are you telling me this?"
Zhou Yaoqi curled the corners of his lips and said, "Of course I want to ask you what you think about it!"
After Shen Xinran pondered for a moment, he tentatively asked, "What do you think about getting married in three months?"
Zhou Yaoqi sighed and said, "Three months is too long. If you've thought it over, I want to get the marriage certificate tomorrow."
Chen Xinran looked at Zhou Yaoqi in disbelief, "So fast? But we've only known each other for less than a week!"
Zhou Yaoqi's eyes flashed. You have known him for less than a week, but he has known you for almost a month.
"Your parents are still alive, and your family runs a fruit shop. You are the eldest in the family, and you have a younger brother."
"You investigated me!" Shen Xinran's eyes widened.
Zhou Yaoqi smiled and shook his head, "How could that be? This is what the introducer told me."
Chen Xinran looked suspicious and asked, "What else did the introducer say?"
Zhou Yaoqi said slowly, "Your brother is a bit of a jerk, always looking for trouble. And almost all the money your parents have earned over the years has been spent on your brother."
Chen Xinran looked at Zhou Yaoqi in disbelief. "You know all this? And you still want to marry me! Aren't you afraid that my family will drag you down?"
Zhou Yaoqi looked at Shen Xinran gently and said firmly, "As long as you are with me, none of this will matter."
Chen Xinran said thoughtfully, "But I am a person who can only share happiness, not hardship!"
Zhou Yaoqi laughed heartily after hearing this. "Then we won't share hardships, but only happiness."
Shen Xinran raised an eyebrow, "Even if you have no money in the future and I divorce you, can you accept it?"
Zhou Yaoqi nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, I won't let that day come."
Looking at the confidence in Zhou Yaoqi's eyes, Shen Xinran didn't know what to say for a moment.
We're going to get married sooner or later anyway, so it shouldn't matter if we do it three months in advance!
After Shen Xinran returned home, she told He Hongxia about the marriage. "Mom, I'm planning to marry Zhou Yaoqi."
He Hongxia's eyes widened in surprise. "Is it the coal boss from our first blind date? But didn't you say he was just average when you came back?"
He Hongxia suddenly thought of something, and she looked at Shen Xinran with a hint of worry. "Tell me the truth, is it because your ex-boyfriend is getting married, and you want to get revenge on him, so you want to get married sooner?"
Zhao Shiqian did want to take revenge on Wang Haitao, so she married Zhou Yaoqi. But Shen Xinran didn't think so. She shook her head and smiled faintly, "I just think he's a good match."
Hearing Shen Xinran say this, He Hongxia's heart was full of contradictions. She really wanted her daughter to get married as soon as possible, but when the moment came, she felt a little reluctant.
After Shen Xinran sensed He Hongxia's uneasiness, he added, "He asked his mother to come to our house tomorrow morning to propose marriage. You and Dad can also help me with some advice."
He Hongxia turned to look at Zhao Pengbo, who was sitting on the sofa playing a video game, and frowned. "Your sister's boyfriend is coming over tomorrow, and I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it. You should stay home and help out at the fruit shop."
When Zhao Pengbo heard this, he complained, "But I have plans to go out and play with my friends!"
As he spoke, he kept fiddling with the game console, looking a little impatient.
As Shen Xinran cast a look at him, Zhao Pengbo seemed to be under a spell and immediately changed his words: "But nothing is more important than my sister's lifelong event."
Shen Xinran didn't even raise her eyelids. She knew in her heart that the reason Zhao Pengbo said this was probably because he had run out of pocket money and wanted to ask her for money.
As the sun slowly rises over the eastern horizon, warm sunlight fills the earth and the curtain of a new day slowly opens.
Zhou Yaoqi took his mother and walked slowly towards the Zhao family, holding two bottles of wine and a pack of cigarettes in his hands.
As he walked, he sighed, "If you hadn't urged me so hard, I really wouldn't want to get married."
Zhou Yaoqi stopped, a hint of hesitation appeared on his face, "Why not just forget it!"
When Tan Guiying heard this, she was so angry that she slapped Zhou Yaoqi's shoulder fiercely: "You little bastard, you are almost at the doorstep of someone's house, how can you regret it!"
Tan Guiying was afraid that Zhou Yaoqi would go back on his word, so she involuntarily quickened her pace.
…
Here, Shen Xinran asked for a day off from work. Not long after he got up, there was a knock on the door.
When I opened the door, I saw a middle-aged woman with a big smile standing outside. She said kindly, "Oh, you must be Shi Qian. You are so beautiful."
Shen Xinran guessed the woman's identity. She looked at Zhou Yaoqi beside her and expressed her doubts with her eyes: Why did you come so early!
Zhou Yaoqi shrugged his shoulders, and after Tan Guiying entered the room, he lowered his voice and said to her, "I'm her only son, so she must be more proactive in finding a daughter-in-law."
Shen Xinran looked at Zhou Yaoqi with a hint of doubt in her eyes. Why did she not believe it?
However, Tan Guiying was indeed very enthusiastic towards her and had been holding her hand tightly since she entered the door.
When talking about the betrothal gift, Tan Guiying waved her hand generously and said, "It's whatever you say. We have no objection."
He Hongxia waved her hand when she heard this. "We are marrying off our daughter, not selling her. Just give her a few hundred yuan as a token of your appreciation."
He Hongxia and Tan Guiying sat on the sofa and chatted.
As Tan Guiying spoke, she became increasingly emotional and couldn't help but burst into tears. "My husband died young, and I worked so hard to raise three daughters and a son all by myself."
He Hongxia consoled him, "But your children are quite sensible, so they shouldn't be giving you too much worry. Unlike my brat, who only knows how to hang out with bad friends!"
Tan Guiying nodded. "That's true, but this brat has never gotten married, and it's been really worrying me. I thought he'd be alone for the rest of his life, but luckily he met your daughter. Don't worry about you laughing at him, but he's almost thirty and he's still single."
Hearing Tan Guiying say this, Shen Xinran looked at Zhou Yaoqi with a hint of shock. The male protagonist is thirty years old and still a single dog! Who would believe this?
Seeing this, Zhou Yaoqi leaned close to Shen Xinran's ear and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Yes, I'm not like you. I don't have an ex-boyfriend."
Shen Xinran: “…”
The sour taste is about to overflow!
But don't worry, she will just be your ex-girlfriend in the future.
Thinking of this, the corners of Shen Xinran's lips rose slightly.
