That evening, Qin Zheng ate at the Zhang family's house but didn't see Zhang Qinghua. It was the first time Zhang's parents had met Qin Zheng in person. The couple exchanged a glance and were both satisfied. How come the two young people didn't hit it off?
During the meal, Qin Zheng spoke eloquently, and even Zhang Muyuan gave him a high score. After seeing Qin Zheng off, Zhang's parents still planned to try to persuade him to stay. Compared to those dissolute playboys in Hong Kong, Qin Zheng was a thousand times better.
The next day, Qin Zheng received another call from Zhang Muyuan, and the two arranged to have dinner together again.
It means something like explicitly stating it.
Standing in his hotel room, Qin Zheng looked out at the boundless sea, its surface shimmering and dazzling, just like the feeling he had when he first met Zhang Qinghua.
There was a moment of silence on the phone.
Just when Zhang Muyuan thought Qin Zheng would politely decline, he heard him speak: "Then what does Miss Zhang think?"
Zhang Muyuan: "I would tell her it's just a casual meal."
-
That night, Miss Zhang did show up after all.
She seemed to really like blue; last time it was a small blue lambskin bag, and this time she wore a long blue dress, carried a small silver bag, wore no makeup, and had her hair tied in a braid. She entered the private room at a leisurely pace.
As she expected, Zhang Muyuan was nowhere to be found.
At the end of the long table, only Qin Zheng was present.
"Miss Zhang, what a coincidence."
Zhang Qinghua scoffed, "What a coincidence! It's not like we haven't met before. Alright, let's eat. I'm starving."
Qin Zheng smiled.
This was the second time he had dinner with the same blind date.
Since that's the case, there's no point in delaying any longer.
Qin Zheng looked at Zhang Qinghua.
"Ms. Zhang, since we've met again in Hong Kong, why don't we restart what we couldn't continue last year?"
What should I start?
Zhang Qinghua glared at him. She wasn't a project, yet she was being asked to "start" it!
Qin Zheng: "Why don't you give it a try?"
Zhang Qinghua deliberately asked, "Try what?"
Qin Zheng: "Let's see if we can get married?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhang Qinghua met Qin Zheng's deep eyes.
He looks like he's smiling.
She has a beautiful smile.
Zhang Qinghua straightened her back and looked back defiantly.
"Then let me ask you, do you have a girlfriend?"
Qin Zheng raised an eyebrow slightly. "If I had a girlfriend, I wouldn't be sitting here. Zhang Qinghua, I'm a traditional person."
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Qinghua heard Qin Zheng ask in return, "And what about you?"
Zhang Qinghua pursed her lips and shook her head. She then asked, "How many girlfriends have you had?"
"Is this important?"
Zhang Qinghua nodded: "Of course, if I want to try it, I have to ask clearly. I don't agree to just anyone, and I won't associate with dirty people."
Dirty person.
When Qin Zheng first heard this, he couldn't help but laugh.
Qin Zheng made no attempt to hide it: "I've never had a girlfriend."
Zhang Qinghua's eyes widened instantly. "What? You... have never been in a relationship?"
He's already in his late thirties and has never been in a relationship?
Qin Zheng: "That's strange? I'm busy with work, these things aren't important to me. What about you?"
Since things were out in the open, Zhang Qinghua said frankly, "I've dated two people, but they were too possessive, which I couldn't stand."
Qin Zheng responded with an "Mmm".
Unable to contain her curiosity any longer, Zhang Qinghua asked, "Haven't you ever liked anyone else?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Zheng was slightly stunned.
He didn't deny it, saying, "I had it when I was young, but it's in the past."
Zhang Qinghua thought he would say no, but after a long while, she couldn't suppress her curiosity and asked, "Then why aren't you two together?"
Qin Zheng: "Liking someone doesn't necessarily mean you have to be together. Besides, it's all in the past. It was just a young person's liking. To call it liking is more like admiration."
"Don't worry, I mean what I said. We will get married and I will take on the responsibilities of a husband. I have no interest in philandering, so you can rest assured."
Zhang Qinghua nodded: "Okay then."
Qin Zheng looked over.
Zhang Qinghua smiled slightly, "You can't interfere with me. I can do whatever I want. Don't worry about me. There's one thing I agree with you on: even if we get married, I won't mess around. My parents have a great relationship, and I reject third parties, whether they're yours or mine. If you feel you don't have feelings for me or have fallen for someone else, tell me as soon as possible. Don't let me find out, or don't blame me for being ruthless."
Qin Zheng: "Ms. Zhang is very frank."
"Of course, now that we've come this far, it's better to choose someone like you who takes care of the family than those undesirable ones."
After the meal, both of them had achieved their goals.
Qin Zheng: "I'll take you home. Are you going back to the Zhang family or somewhere else?"
Zhang Qinghua: "No need to see me off, I'll drive."
Qin Zheng nodded, "Be careful on the road."
This trip to Hong Kong was an unexpected bonus.
That night, Qin Zheng told his grandparents about it over the phone.
Before Qin Zheng left Hong Kong, he visited the Zhang family again, which was considered their formal meeting. After that, Zhang Qinghua would occasionally come to the capital, and Qin Zheng would occasionally go to Hong Kong.
The two had been in contact for a year.
They only got engaged after Zhang Qinghua had fully understood Qin Zheng.
By the time Qin Zheng was about to get married, he was almost thirty-eight.
Grandpa and Grandma Qin liked Zhang Qinghua very much. They had a private room for Zhang Qinghua in the Qin family home, and Zhang Qinghua also entered Qin Zheng's circle in the capital.
Zhang Qinghua opened a psychological clinic in the capital. She didn't plan to work there; she just wanted to be a boss for fun, have some businesses, and make herself seem less idle.
When the girls from Hong Kong came to the capital, they never expected that Zhang Qinghua had married so far away. Zhang Qinghua didn't think much of it, since she hadn't married abroad, so how could it be far? It wouldn't take long to get there by plane.
The couple's marital home was near Qin Zheng's company; it was a large villa that Zhang Qinghua really liked.
The entire house was decorated in her preferred style.
Zhang Qinghua had basically gotten to know all the people around Qin Zheng. She had been to Heping Lane several times and liked the alleyway lifestyle. However, while she liked it, she didn't like living in such a place; she wanted to live in a big house.
Until her marriage, she had not found the person Qin Zheng had once liked.
Qin Zheng never mentions it.
Zhang Qinghua guessed that they probably met while studying abroad. After all these years, who hasn't liked someone else? She didn't want to delve into it and patiently prepared for her wedding with Qin Zheng.
The wedding was held in the capital.
There were many relatives and friends from the Qin family and the Zhang family as well; the entire banquet hall was packed with people.
Qin's grandparents were overjoyed to see Qin Zheng get married, finally resolving this long-standing problem.
When Song Yingying saw Qin Zheng get married, she couldn't help but tear up.
Song Rongrong handed her a piece of paper.
"Okay, stop crying."
Song Rongrong glanced at the stage; the bride was beautiful, and the groom was handsome.
Ying Zhengqing seemed to be calling her from the side.
Song Rongrong turned around and glanced sideways: "What's wrong?"
Ying Zhengqing smiled and said, "It's nothing, there's a ribbon in your hair."
Song Rongrong touched it, but there was nothing there.
Ying Zhengqing: "I've taken it off for you."
