The newcomer was tall and handsome, with delicate features and wearing gold-rimmed glasses. Jiang Peitian smiled after recognizing him:
"Huashang is here? Xiaoci was just throwing a tantrum with me, it's not that she really doesn't want to get married."
Lin Huasheng put down what he was carrying and said:
"It's alright. I have an investment abroad, and now that I'm getting married, I probably won't be able to spend much time at home; I'll be traveling back and forth between the two places."
So it's better to wait until things are settled and settled before getting married, that way we can have more time to nurture our relationship.
He had known Jiang Ci since childhood, and his feelings for her were just as Jiang Peitian described. He had no interest in her other than his career, and naturally, he had no intention of having any romantic feelings for her.
However, marrying Chiang Ci would be a powerful combination for him, allowing him to satisfy his family and take his career to the next level, so he had no reason to refuse.
Jiang Peitian made the final decision:
"We've already discussed it with your dad, the wedding will be at the end of this year. If you're busy, just go about your business."
Jiang Ci could also work alongside me and try to take over the shipping business.
Lin Huasheng remained silent, waiting for Jiang Ci to refuse so he could then agree, but seeing no response from her, he could only agree in return:
"If Xiao Ci has no objections, I'm all set."
Jiang Ci knew she couldn't escape it, so she didn't say much, because as Jiang Peitian had said, marrying Lin Huasheng was the best path for her future.
Jiang Peitian, seeing the awkwardness between the two, said:
"Alright, your sentiment is enough. Now that you finally have some free time, you should spend some time getting to know Jiang Ci. I need to rest for a bit."
Jiang Ci and Lin Huasheng walked side by side toward the door, and neither of them uttered a word until they left the hospital.
Lin Huasheng had no experience interacting with girls, but he always felt that dating was like doing business.
It requires a balance of strength; only by offering what you are good at and can provide can you get what you want.
So, he naturally steered the conversation back to business: "Xiao Ci, this time I've established..."
Jiang Ci knew that if she let him continue, it would mean another class would be missed, so she interrupted him:
"Huashang, I appreciate you teaching me how to manage a company, but... if we talk about this every time we meet, I always feel like you're my employee or student."
When it comes to dating, it's important to be relaxed and fun, like my sister and brother.
It makes people want to get married, unlike us, who just see it as a job.
Lin Huasheng paused, his voice unnatural as he said:
"Otherwise, when we're together in the future, you can talk to me and I'll listen."
Jiang Ci sighed softly and said:
"Forget it, let's just stroll around and go home. Anyway, I don't expect our relationship to be great after marriage. Just being respectful to each other is fine."
Lin Huasheng walked beside her and said:
"Although I may neglect you because of my career, I promise to be loyal to my family and to you."
Jiang Ci extended her hand and said:
"I hope we can have a pleasant collaboration."
Lin Huasheng hesitated for a second, but still reached out and grasped it, saying:
"It's a pleasure to work with you."
People were scattered along the road. Two people shook hands and laughed softly, while colorful sycamore leaves fell from above.
Jiang Ci was the first to withdraw her hand and said:
"Then how about I go to my sister's place first, and we... go back to our own homes, and then we can just get married."
Lin Huasheng said somewhat awkwardly:
"My dad assigned me to spend the whole day with you today. I can't go back now and explain it to him. Otherwise... I'll buy some things and go see your sister."
Jiang Ci did not refuse and nodded, saying:
Let's go.
When the two arrived at the department store, Lin Huasheng usually only had his secretary prepare jewelry for his clients and send it over.
This is the first time I've ever chosen a gift for visiting relatives.
Looking at the dazzling array of items, he asked, "What do you usually give as gifts?"
Jiang Ci said, "My brother doesn't smoke or drink anymore, so you can just buy some pastries and snacks. I'll take care of picking out toys and gifts for the kids."
Lin Huasheng nodded. Jiang Ci watched him leave and went to the toy store to pick out a gift. But as soon as she walked out of the department store with her things, she saw Lin Huasheng standing at the door with a stack of gift boxes that was half his height next to him.
She asked in surprise, "You went to buy supplies?"
Lin Huasheng said in a serious tone:
"No, it's not that. You said you wanted to buy pastries, and then you found out they were all very cheap."
But if I bought it too cheaply, I felt embarrassed to show it off, so I simply bought a few more boxes of bird's nest to increase the quantity.
Jiang Ci was speechless for a moment. Just then, Lin Huasheng's driver arrived. After loading the goods for a while, they finally arrived at Wen Zhaoye's house.
Wen Jiaojiao was playing with her child when she looked up and saw the two of them, as well as... the driver unloading the goods, and said:
Why are you buying so much stuff?
"Ask him."
Lin Huasheng knew that Wen Jiaojiao was younger than him, but she was also Jiang Ci's elder. After hesitating for a long time, he finally blurted out:
"Sister, this is a gift for you."
Wen Zhaoye chuckled and said:
"Huasheng, don't be so polite next time. We're all family now, just come and be there."
Wen Bao'er was biting into a watermelon, her mouth surrounded by red juice that dripped down her round chin.
She walked up to him with her round little belly sticking out and looked at him curiously, saying:
"Are you my father, Xiaobu?"
Lin Huasheng looked at the adorable little girl in front of him and chuckled softly:
Shouldn't you call him uncle?
Jiang Ci chimed in:
"Because my brother married into the family, all the children belong to the Jiang family, so naturally they call me aunt."
Lin Huasheng frowned slightly. He had heard of Wen Zhaoye's business before; his clothing business was now widely known both domestically and internationally.
