Later, in the year that Grandma passed away, Xie Wanjun and Shang Mengzhou invited Shang Yanxing back to the old house for a meal.
Xie Wanjun said earnestly, "You're already twenty-five this year. Shouldn't you start thinking about marriage? Before Grandma passed away, her biggest wish was for you to get married soon. So your dad and I hope you can accomplish this in the next two years."
Shang Yanxing, who was eating, suddenly stopped. His chopsticks were trembling slightly in his hand.
Shang Yanxing looked up at Xie Wanjun, nodded slightly, and agreed, "Okay."
He was the youngest son. Xie Wanjun and Shang Mengzhou were already quite old, both over sixty.
So the two elderly people also hope to see him get married soon.
Seeing that Shang Yanxing agreed, Xie Wanjun's originally heavy mood became more relieved.
In the past, Shang Yanxing would have refused outright, but today he surprisingly agreed.
“Tell your parents what kind of girl you like, and they’ll help you find one,” Xie Wanjun said.
Shang Yanxing smiled and said, "Whatever you like is fine with me. Just do it according to your standards. I'm fine with anything."
Since I'm going to marry someone who isn't the girl I like anyway, what difference does it make who I marry?
Hearing Shang Yanxing's words, Xie Wanjun was speechless for a moment. She knew that Shang Yanxing was still unwilling.
Xie Wanjun and Shang Mengzhou never understood why Shang Yanxing refused to get married. He clearly didn't have anyone he liked, yet the matter of marriage was being delayed year after year.
After dinner, Shang Yanxing left the old house.
Back at Shui Xie Manor, Shang Yanxing was drinking alone in his study.
At his age, he really should be getting married.
Moreover, he had already promised Xie Wanjun and Shang Mengzhou today, so he might not be able to wait any longer.
Will I still be unable to wait for the girl I've liked for ten years?
Shang Yanxing drank all night and eventually fell asleep in his study.
About half a month later, Xie Wanjun and Shang Mengzhou introduced Shang Yanxing to a marriage proposal: Qu Yanran, the eldest daughter of the Qu family.
Shang Yanxing remained calm about the matter; he had long known that this day would eventually come.
Moreover, he had already promised Xie Wanjun and Shang Mengzhou, so he should accept this matter.
Xie Wanjun arranged for the two of them to meet at a club.
Shang Yanxing agreed.
The idea was to let the two of them meet and have dinner together.
Shang Yanxing didn't know why Xie Wanjun had scheduled their meeting for the evening.
Xie Wanjun said that she was afraid he might be busy with other things during the day, so she arranged it for the evening.
But Shang Yanxing didn't believe this explanation.
Nevertheless, Shang Yanxing kept his appointment and did not stand him up as he had done before.
Around 5 p.m., Shang Yanxing arrived at the club.
They agreed to meet at 5:30, so when Shang Yanxing arrived, Qu Yanran had not yet arrived.
Shang Yanxing understood, so he decided to wait a while.
Anyway, it's only right that he waits out of courtesy.
After entering the private room, Shang Yanxing felt stuffy, so he stood at the door of the room and smoked.
I don't know why, but I feel inexplicably nervous and irritable.
After he finished his cigarette, he heard a very familiar voice. He then realized that it was Shen Shiyan and Xie Zhixun.
When Shang Yanxing saw Shen Shiyan, the first person he thought of was Jiang Susu.
Jiang Susu and Shen Shiyan are inseparable. Could she be coming here too?
Later, Shang Yanxing saw Shen Shiyan and Xie Xunzhi enter the private room opposite.
Shang Yanxing looked for a while but did not see Jiang Susu.
Then he went into the private room.
Just then, thunder suddenly roared outside, and a torrential downpour began without warning.
Shang Yanxing sat on the sofa in the private room. Only one light was on, so the lighting wasn't particularly good.
About ten minutes later, Shang Yanxing heard someone push open the door and come in.
He assumed it was Qu Yanran and didn't pay any attention.
As the footsteps drew closer, a woman in a dark blue cheongsam appeared before him.
Shang Yanxing looked up and saw not Qu Yanran, but Jiang Susu.
At that moment, Shang Yanxing even thought he was dreaming, that he would actually see Jiang Susu appear in front of him.
Jiang Susu looked at the unfamiliar man in front of her, feeling somewhat at a loss.
She nervously apologized, "Excuse me, I think I went to the wrong private room."
After saying that, Jiang Susu left in a panic.
Shang Yanxing's heart was uneasy after Jiang Susu left.
Did we go to the wrong place?
It seems they really are here to see Shen Shiyan.
It's already 5:30, but Qu Yanran still hasn't arrived.
Looking at the heavy rain outside, Shang Yanxing felt that Qu Yanran probably wouldn't come.
He heard that Qu Yanran was also forced to come to this blind date, so it's quite normal that she didn't come.
After all, no one likes to marry someone they don't love.
Shang Yanxing was a little curious, so he stood at the door of the private room watching Jiang Susu.
After leaving Shang Yanxing's private room, Jiang Susu went to find Shen Shiyan's private room.
Because I was afraid of going to the wrong place again, I specifically asked the waiter.
They eventually found Shen Shiyan's private room.
She straightened her clothes and was just about to knock on the door when she heard a voice immediately.
