Chapter 207 Unrestrained
Although Guan Er looked down on the Chamber of Commerce from the bottom of his heart, he also knew that even a powerful dragon cannot suppress a local snake. Just as Fang Lanxin said, the fishing village is now vigorously developing its economy, and more and more people from all walks of life across the strait and the mainland will come to visit.
In order to remain safe amidst the chaos, the most important thing for them is to integrate into the local community.
Fang Lanxin nodded with satisfaction: "I knew it. We're still on the same page when it comes to future development!"
"So, when should we start thinking about getting married?" Guan Er held Fang Lanxin's hand, kissed it on the lips, and whispered, "Seeing me getting older and older, can you really bear to let me stay like this forever?"
this……
Let's get down to business. Why are we bringing this up again?
Fang Lanxin had long since given up on marriage. Looking at Guan Er's expectant face, she thought for a moment, then sighed helplessly and said, "Do you think we're ready to get married right now? Will your family agree? Will mine? Your family might be a little better off, but I have two children to take care of. So let's not put this on the agenda for now. Let's get the dock built first, and then stabilize my clothing import and export business. We'll talk about it later."
Although they are indeed at an age where they should get married and register their marriage immediately, Fang Lanxin, having been reborn, simply cannot marry Guan Er at this time.
Guan Er had long anticipated this outcome, but hearing Fang Lanxin say this now still left him feeling extremely uneasy.
Seeing Guan Er's dejected look, Fang Lanxin also felt a little uneasy.
She originally thought Guan Er was carefree enough, but now... it seems that no one can really be so carefree in matters of the heart.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore."
"Let's go for a walk."
Guan Er broke the deadlock first, taking Fang Lanxin's hand and walking outside together.
The two walked hand in hand along the coastline. They rarely had such a leisurely time. Even if they did nothing but enjoy the sea breeze, they felt a rare sense of peace.
After a while, Guan Yu still looked at Fang Lanxin with some curiosity: "When do you plan to retire?"
"Anyway, it's not time to retire yet, is it?" Fang Lanxin smiled gently and leaned quietly against Guan Er. "I'm already rich, but I still want to contribute to economic development!"
This was something Guan Er hadn't expected. He looked at Fang Lanxin in disbelief, never imagining that her enthusiasm here was for this reason.
For some reason, Guan Er felt a deep sense of respect for Fang Lanxin.
“Alan, I really feel that you are a little different from before.”
Guan Er smiled gently and glanced at Fang Lanxin.
Fang Lanxin didn't say anything more, she just looked into the distance and smiled faintly.
Having been given a second chance at life, one must find new value. One cannot do everything for one's children and the Huo family as before. One should also think more about oneself and live the life one desires.
Seeing Fang Lanxin like this, Guan Er's mind gradually cleared up.
Soon, Huo Siya called, and Cheng Yan went out to find Fang Lanxin so that she could answer the phone.
Fang Lanxin answered the phone, and Huo Siya's cheerful voice came from the other end: "Mom, I miss you so much! I called you so many times before I finally got through. What are you doing over there? Mom, can you come back for a bit? My press conference is about to start, and all my works will be on display. Can you come and support me?"
Upon hearing this voice, Fang Lanxin instinctively gripped the phone tighter. After hesitating for a while, she finally said, "I've been very busy lately, so I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to go back. Maybe next time."
"Mom, this is my first press conference, you absolutely have to come!"
"What will people think of me if you don't come?"
Huo Siya never expected that Fang Lanxin would actually refuse her, and her tone immediately became dissatisfied.
“Mom, I really don’t understand what you’re thinking. Tell me, what’s so good about your place, and what’s so bad about Hong Kong? Why don’t you want to come back?” Huo Siya complained as she spoke, “Do you know what people are saying about you outside!”
Fang Lanxin hung up the phone without any hesitation.
In the past, if Fang Lanxin had heard these words, she would definitely have had a big argument with Huo Siya, but now, Fang Lanxin no longer wants to be angry.
She just wanted to live a peaceful life and didn't want to argue with Huo Siya about who was right or wrong.
Huo Siya stared at the disconnected phone in disbelief: "Brother, did you see that? Mom hung up on me! How could she do this to me!"
"Is Mother unwilling to come?" Huo Qibang was also somewhat surprised.
Logically speaking, this matter is of utmost importance to Huo Siya, and Fang Lanxin should not refuse it under any circumstances.
But she refused.
Huo Siya sat down on the sofa angrily, feeling frustrated: "What's wrong with Mom lately? There's a limit to how much she can throw a tantrum. It's been going on for so long, why is it never going to end? Does she really not want children anymore now that she has a man?!"
"shut up!"
"Huo Siya, listen to what you're saying!"
Huo Qibang's expression changed as he looked at Huo Siya with displeasure.
Huo Siya used to say these things too, but Huo Qibang never thought there was anything wrong with it.
It just sounds really jarring now.
"That's our mother, how can you say such things about her?"
Do you think your mother is like you, unable to walk past any man she sees?
Huo Qibang reprimanded her with displeasure, frowning as he looked at Huo Siya.
"Fif Kwan, are you out of your mind? Why are you talking to me like that?!"
"It's clearly Mom who's wrong, Mom is the one who's at fault, why are you still blaming me?"
Huo Siya looked at Huo Qibang with reddened eyes and dissatisfaction.
"What did Mother do wrong?"
What's wrong with her?
Huo Qibang frowned and stared at Huo Siya with displeasure.
"You insisted on going to the Chen family to live a hard life back then, and now that you're home, you still can't settle down. What's with all this back and forth?"
Huo Siya's expression changed; she always felt somewhat guilty when the past was brought up.
She sighed, "Brother, let's not talk about this anymore, okay?"
"no!"
"I'm telling you, from now on, be nicer to your mother and show her more respect!"
