Xu Tingchuan loved to see her smug smile, her eyes sparkling like stars.
He was willing to protect her happy and carefree smile forever.
"What are you looking at me for? Hurry up and eat." Feeling embarrassed by his gaze, Ni Sitian picked up a piece of tomato and stuffed it into his mouth.
Xu Tingchuan smiled faintly and continued eating with his head down.
The two ate lunch for about half an hour. After finishing, Ni Sitian originally planned to pack up and leave, but Xu Tingchuan asked her to stay with him a little longer.
She could only sit on the sofa and watch Xu Tingchuan work. The more she looked at him, the more handsome he seemed. A smile crept onto her face, and her gaze gradually became infatuated with him.
Xu Tingchuan was focused on his work, but he would occasionally glance at her. When he saw her staring at him in a daze, he couldn't help but want to laugh.
Ni Sitian realized she had been caught staring at him, so she looked away embarrassedly and picked up the newspaper on the table to read it.
The newspapers even carried news reports that Qin Mubei and Jiang Yiyi would be engaged soon.
She read it carefully. The introduction of Jiang Yiyi took up a very large part of the text. Only then did she realize that Jiang Yiyi's background was so impressive. She was the granddaughter of the former commander-in-chief of the military region, the daughter of Air Force General Jiang and a famous soprano singer.
Well……
It turns out that Xu Tingchuan's blind date had such a powerful background.
This is normal, though. Blind dates are all about matching social status and background. With Xu Tingchuan's background, he should be a good match for Jiang Yiyi.
Arranged marriages among the upper class must be quite common.
He ended up marrying her, which was a huge drop in class.
"What are you looking at?" Xu Tingchuan asked curiously when he saw Ni Sitian sighing as she looked at the newspaper.
Ni Sitian raised her head, looked at Xu Tingchuan, and sighed again: "Xu Tingchuan, won't you be making a bad deal by marrying me?"
The benefits of such family marriages are immeasurable. They could elevate the entire family to a higher level, and provide mutual support in case of future problems, thus solidifying their position.
Thinking about it this way, it seems that Xu Tingchuan would gain nothing by marrying her.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Xu Tingchuan didn't understand what Ni Sitian was thinking. He shook his head and chuckled, "Marrying a wife isn't like doing business. What's the loss or gain? As a man, do you expect your wife to bring you any benefits?"
Ni Sitian seemed to understand; a man who is strong enough would never bother to gain anything from marriage.
Qin Mubei and Xu Tingchuan were completely opposite in this respect.
Jiang Yiyi is three years older than Qin Mubei. Given Qin Mubei's circumstances, why would he want to find someone older than himself? However, the Jiang family's status and position are much higher than the Qin family's. In a sense, the Qin family is marrying above their station.
No wonder Jiang Yiyi treated Qin Mubei like a little wolfhound that day.
Once you reach their social class, you might see other people differently.
Fortunately, Xu Tingchuan did not pick up this bad habit.
“Tomorrow is Qin Mubei and Jiang Yiyi’s engagement ceremony,” Ni Sitian put down her newspaper and said, “If you don’t have time, then we won’t go.”
Xu Tingchuan smiled faintly: "There is still time to attend an engagement ceremony. In fact, even if Qin Mubei did not send an invitation, the Xu family received an invitation from the Jiang family. Dad did not have time, so he called and asked me to go."
"Oh." Ni Sitian nodded, thinking to herself that they were indeed from the same social class, and then she began to worry about what she should wear that day.
Just then, there was a knock on the door. After Xu Tingchuan said "Come in," Assistant Yu walked in carrying a box.
