However, he specifically asked to discuss some matters with her husband. As a wife, she naturally couldn't interfere too much in her husband's affairs, and besides, in her opinion...
The matter this young man is talking about is probably quite significant, so it's best not to do anything unnecessary.
So they went to the study and talked for a long time until she got sleepy, at which point the study door was opened.
The young man was very polite. Before leaving, he apologized, saying that he had kept them too long and that he was really sorry.
Despite the young man's politeness, she was naturally more concerned about her husband's condition. After the young man left, she went into the study, and when her eyes first fell on her husband's face, she became nervous.
Because this was the first time she had seen her husband's face so serious, his brows deeply furrowed, sitting there quietly without saying a word.
It seems that the arrival of this young man has brought him a great deal of trouble.
It was so big that even her husband didn't know how to handle it.
But now, Fang Qishan did not have that expression on his face.
Xiao Lan also felt that it was time to ask.
After all, they are husband and wife. If there are any difficulties, they should not bear them alone.
"Honey, can I ask you something?" Xiao Lan asked.
Fang Qishan paused, then placed the document on the table and turned to look at his wife: "Are you asking about what happened that night?"
Xiao Lan blushed immediately. After being together for so long, Fang Qishan knew her little thoughts all too well. After so many years together, he could easily detect some of her little habits.
Fang Qishan was naturally aware that his wife was curious about what happened that night. He hadn't mentioned it before because he wasn't confident and it wasn't something he could handle, but now he could.
"Can't you just pretend you don't know? It's making things very difficult for me if you do that."
Even though Xiao Lan is getting older, she still retains the demeanor of a young girl.
Fang Qishan smiled and looked at her with affection, apologizing, "Okay, okay, next time I will definitely pretend to be stupid and act like I don't know anything."
"snort!"
Xiao Lan rolled her eyes. "You've already said it all, what's the point now? After all these years, you still don't know how to make people happy."
Seeing Xiao Lan's expression, Fang Qishan knew he had said the wrong thing again. Over the years, he still hadn't gotten rid of this habit. But he knew that Xiao Lan wasn't angry; she just thought he lacked humor.
After thinking for a moment, Fang Qishan said, "Christmas Eve is coming soon, and I'd like to go out for dinner with you that day."
"Why go out to eat? It's a waste of money. It's better to cook at home, which will save you some money. Besides, we're both getting on in years. Is this kind of holiday really suitable for us?"
"nature."
Fang Qishan said gently, "In my eyes, you have always been the same as when I first met you. No matter how much time has passed, you will always be the most important and most beautiful person to me."
"How annoying, he's so old and still talking nonsense."
Unable to bear this, Xiao Lan blushed even more.
However, she was also surprised, never expecting that her husband, who hadn't said sweet words to her for so many years, would actually say these things.
Could it be that the iron tree outside has blossomed?
Fang Qishan scratched his head sheepishly. He remembered meeting Luo Chen and the others at the restaurant last time and how lively they were. He also remembered the words Luo Chen had said to him.
The most beautiful thing is not the past, but the present.
So he wondered if he should learn from them and say some sweet words to coax his wife.
Seeing his wife blush, it seemed he had done the right thing.
“It’s been a long time since we’ve gone out to eat together. We can eat at home anytime, but since we got married, we haven’t really gone out together. I know you love sweets, and I just found a place that has something to your liking, so I thought I’d take you there on Christmas Eve.”
Looking at Fang Qishan, Xiao Lan felt a sweet warmth in her heart. Even after so many years, their feelings for each other had not diminished. Perhaps she felt from the beginning that she would be very happy with him, which is why she chose him.
However, this feeling was not wrong. To this day, she is doing very well, and she is always surrounded by happiness with him.
“Okay, our son is all grown up now, and we don’t have to be as frugal as before. As long as the price isn’t too high, we can go and try it,” Xiao Lan replied.
"good."
Upon receiving a response, Fang Qishan smiled, clearly pleased.
Xiao Lan shook her head helplessly again. She was already so old, but whenever she was happy, she would act like a child. She hadn't changed this habit over the years, but she didn't think it was a problem.
She knew that this mindset only existed when one loved someone.
Fang Qishan led Xiao Lan to a resting seat and carefully made her a cup of tea.
After doing all this, Fang Qishan finally spoke: "I don't know the person who came that night. I don't know how he found us. Not many people know where we live. Besides, we just arrived here, so only a few people know us. I've been very curious about his appearance."
“Yes, I also find it strange.” Xiao Lan frowned slightly, clearly not understanding it either.
Although the couple had arrived in Ningcheng ahead of time, only a few people knew about them, and they hadn't even decided on a place to stay yet. They had just checked in when that young man came looking for them that very night.
I don't know where they got the information from.
"He probably found out from someone he knows," Fang Qishan thought.
Xiao Lan nodded; only this reason seemed appropriate.
"Then what did he want to talk to you about?" Xiao Lan asked.
Fang Qishan paused for a moment, then slowly said, "You should know about today's appraisal and auction, right?"
"I know."
Xiao Lan nodded: "If your taking office is the most important thing, then this is the second most important thing. I have naturally paid attention to it."
"Then you should also understand why the ten projects were reduced to nine, and why one was specifically designated for the Wang family," Fang Qishan said, looking at Xiao Lan.
"This? You didn't arrange this, did you?" Xiao Lan asked in surprise.
"Yes."
Fang Qishan admitted it, then sighed: "I did all of this, and it was one of his conditions."
"I knew it! How could things that were already arranged suddenly change? It turns out you interfered."
Xiao Lan finally understood why the ten projects that were arranged perfectly suddenly became nine, and why one more had to be designated. Such matters were decided after discussions with those above and could not be changed arbitrarily.
But if it's because of one of the young man's conditions, how could her husband dare to do such a thing? Isn't he afraid of being blamed?
