Chapter 437 Cheng Kaixuan's Thoughts
Watching Jack and Lu Changxiao complete the engagement ceremony with the blessings of the crowd, Cheng Kaixuan suddenly envied Jack.
He and Lu Changyan were an agreement couple because they didn't want to be urged to get married by their families or to marry into other families.
They wanted to use their energy on their careers while they were young.
Lu Changyan didn't have the pressure of being urged to get married, but she needed a shield.
Many business leaders came to Lu Changxiao's engagement party, but Cheng Kaixuan was shocked despite his wide knowledge.
He thought Shen Qingyang in Hong Kong was already a very powerful existence, but he didn't expect that Shen Jiacheng and his wife in Beijing were also so powerful.
Not inferior to Shen Qingyang at all.
Not to mention Lu Mingfeng, whose strength and connections are stronger than the Shen family.
What shocked Cheng Kaixuan even more was that Shen Jiale, a university teacher, actually operated so many stores under his name.
Dim sum shops, grain and oil shops, beauty salons, restaurants, etc. These shops seemed inconspicuous, but they were numerous.
Lu Changjun was still in college, but he had already helped manage the family company. Cheng Kaixuan didn't know Lu Changjie's occupation, but he was sure that he was a leader in a certain industry.
He originally thought that he and Lu Changyan were on par, and if he needed to find a wife of equal status in the future, Lu Changyan would be a good marriage partner.
Seeing that Lu Changyan had such a strong background and that everyone in the Lu family was so outstanding, Cheng Kaixuan felt a lot of pressure.
...
After the engagement banquet, it was time for them to return to Hong Kong.
Lu Changyan followed Cheng Kaixuan to the Cheng family to visit Grandpa Cheng.
Grandpa Cheng also heard about Lu Changxiao's engagement in Hong Kong, but he didn't go because his grandson was representing the family.
Hearing that it was a marriage with the Wilson family of Country M, he would be his grandson's brother-in-law in the future, so Grandpa Cheng urged his grandson to get married.
In the past, Cheng Kaixuan was the one who solved all the problems in the Cheng family, but today Cheng Kaixuan didn't say a word.
Grandpa Cheng looked at Lu Changyan.
Lu Changyan reached out and tugged at the corner of Cheng Kaixuan's clothes.
Cheng Kaixuan said, "I'll listen to Yanyan."
Seeing Cheng Kaixuan kick the ball to her side, Lu Changyan glared at him and said, "We are all very busy at work, so let's not consider this matter for the time being."
Cheng's mother said, "You don't need to worry about the engagement, I'll take care of it."
Seeing that Cheng Kaixuan kept silent again, Lu Changyan was so angry that she stepped on him with her foot.
Finally, after dinner, Lu Changyan asked, "What do you mean today? You can just say you are busy at work, why do you throw the topic to me?"
Cheng Kaixuan did not answer directly, and asked, "What do you think of me?"
"A good partner."
"Is that all?"
"What else?"
"Xiaoxiao and Jack are engaged, how do you feel?"
Lu Changyan said calmly, "Lovers finally get married, I am happy for them."
"Have you ever thought about getting married?"
Lu Changyan said bluntly, "No."
Cheng Kaixuan was puzzled, "Your family is harmonious, your parents are loving, and you grew up in such a happy family atmosphere. How can a child who grew up in such a happy family atmosphere be so disgusted with marriage?"
"It's not that I dislike marriage, it's that I like my current lifestyle and don't want to change it."
Cheng Kaixuan enviously said, "Your family is very open-minded."
Lu Changyan asked, "If you want to get married, let's cancel the agreement, and I will explain our relationship to your girlfriend."
"I don't have a girlfriend."
"Just because I don't have one now doesn't mean I won't have one in the future. Since you already have the plan to get married, I can't delay you. Let's cancel the agreement."
"No! I don't want to cancel it!"
"If the relationship is not canceled, when you meet a girl you like, she will be the third party, and it will be difficult for me to live."
"I have no plans to get married, and I don't have anyone I like. I just saw your sister getting engaged and I was inspired."
"Although our relationship is fake, I don't want the media to report that I was cheated on one day."
"I promise I won't!"
...
Afterwards, Cheng's mother urged him to get married, but Cheng Kaixuan refused with the excuse of being busy with work.
The island resort invested by the two has been completed. On Saturday night, Lu Changyan was telling Chai Jing that he would take her to a hot spring tomorrow.
Cheng Kaixuan came to the Shen residence and said that a friend had invited him to a party and he needed to bring a partner.
Chai Jing said, "Yanyan, if you have something to do, go and do it. We will go next time."
Lu Changyan said unhappily, "You should have told me in advance. I have already arranged the weekend time."
"My friend also notified me at short notice. It's a friend I haven't seen for a long time."
Shen Qingyang came over and said, "Yanyan, you go. Young people need to expand their social circle. I will accompany your second grandmother."
...
The next day, Cheng Kaixuan came to pick up Lu Changyan and saw that she was wearing a white shirt and trousers with a long windbreaker outside, so he asked her to change into another set.
Lu Changyan pulled her skirt and asked, "Is there something wrong with this outfit? Didn't you say we were just having dinner at the villa? I thought I could just wear casual clothes."
"There are other activities in the evening, and you'll look better in a skirt."
Thinking that Cheng Kaixuan wanted her to make him proud in front of his friends, Lu Changyan went into the room and changed into a long skirt.
...
When they arrived at the villa, Cheng Kaixuan's friends had already arrived.
When they saw Cheng Kaixuan, his friends joked, "No wonder you always say you don't have time when we ask you to go out. It turns out that you don't want to play with us old men when you have such a beautiful girlfriend to accompany you."
Lu Changyan greeted Cheng Kaixuan's friends generously.
"Kaixuan, your girlfriend is much more straightforward than you. You are late today, so you will have to drink three glasses of wine later."
When friends get together, they just chat about the recent situation. Girls get together to talk about clothes, jewelry, and cosmetics.
Lu Changyan thinks it is a waste of time.
Someone suggested playing truth or dare. When a piece of music was paused, whoever the flower was passed to had to do the required things.
The game was played several times, and Cheng Kaixuan's friends received the flowers and were asked to say when they fell in love with their girlfriends and when they kissed for the first time.
This time, the flower was in Cheng Kaixuan's hands and the music stopped.
His friends started to make a fuss and asked Cheng Kaixuan how many girlfriends Lu Changyan had.
Cheng Kaixuan said she was the first one.
His friends wanted to know more about Cheng Kaixuan, so they passed the flower to Cheng Kaixuan at the nodes of the music.
"When was the first time you kissed your girlfriend?"
Cheng Kaixuan glanced at Lu Changyan awkwardly, then picked up the wine glass and drank it.
"Kaixuan, this is boring. What can't be said?"
Cheng Kaixuan said, "My girlfriend is shy and doesn't like me to say these things."
Then the flower was passed to Cheng Kaixuan. Whenever he was asked about Lu Changyan, Cheng Kaixuan would choose to drink.
Seeing that Cheng Kaixuan was drunk and was being chased by his friends, Lu Changyan took the wine glass from him and drank it all.
"You've drunk too much. Let me take you home."
The friends said, "It's still early. We have a show in the evening."
Lu Changyan asked, "What show?"
"Go to the bar all night."
Lu Changyan said to Cheng Kaixuan, "You didn't tell me this."
Cheng Kaixuan apologized to his friends, "I'm sorry, my girlfriend doesn't like to go out at night."
"It's a rare occasion for us to get together, so we have to have a good time and not let your girlfriend down."
Cheng Kaixuan looked at Lu Changyan: "Just this once."
A girl also came over to persuade him: "Miss Lu, men should give enough face when they are outside. We have booked the whole bar, and there are no messy people."
Lu Changyan stood up and said to Cheng Kaixuan: "In that case, you have fun. I have to go to work tomorrow, so I won't accompany you."
Seeing Lu Changyan leave, Cheng Kaixuan stood up and chased after her, but was stopped by his friends: "You are the head of the Cheng Group, do you have to listen to your girlfriend like this?"
Compared with entertainment, Cheng Kaixuan cares more about his own business. He said to his friends that they would get together next time and left quickly.
