I'm not planning to reply to Zhang Shouyi today. I wonder if he'll be angry? Just thinking about his squinting expression makes me chicken out.
I should just obediently reply. My stubbornness isn't about this. After all, he'll worry if he doesn't see my message. We're thousands of miles apart, and I can't let him worry about me.
Zhang Shouyi really didn't have time right now. Zhou Shixiong had already arranged people for Zhou Yuanqing, and Zhang Shouyi took this opportunity to hand Zhou Yuanqing over to Zhou Shixiong as well. Even a god couldn't bring him back to his senses now, so it was best for him to get rid of this hot potato.
“Sir, I have handed Zhou Shao over to Secretary Li intact. He should stay with you; it will be more convenient for you to take care of him.”
"Shouyi, are you trying to avoid getting involved?"
"Why would you think that? I took Zhou Shao away because I was afraid you would do something impulsive and regret it. Your health has been poor ever since, and I wanted you to focus on your recovery and prevent him from upsetting you again. But now that I see you've calmed down, and since we've found Zhou Shao a wife, it's better for your family to be together."
"Well, I'm afraid you hate him, but because of me you don't want to deal with him anymore."
"Hehe, hate him? Actually, that's just what Young Master Zhou said. I just have a normal attitude towards him now."
Zhou Shixiong stared at Zhang Shouyi for a while and felt that what he said was probably true, and that he hadn't become arrogant.
"Alright, I'll have Chang'en take Yuanqing to the backyard to stay. I wonder if Hongmei has arrived yet?"
“I think they’ve arrived. Based on the timeline, they should have been here about a week ago. I’m just waiting for news from Xiao Wanxiang.”
"You really should let her go."
"Hehe." What can I say?
Zhang Shouyi returned to his office feeling relieved, as if a burden had been lifted. He felt he had finally paid for the troubles of his past life.
Feeling Zhang Hongmei's letter, I smiled and took it out. Seeing everything so beautiful, my heart ached. How could it be as beautiful as Hongmei described? This girl is so sensible; she was afraid I would worry.
I know she's sleeping right now, and I just wrote a few simple sentences. I know how hard she works with her studies, and I really can't bear to hold her back. Just like she said, I can't let her down.
At this moment, Wang Xinyi and Zhao Tiancheng had two completely different feelings.
Zhao Tiancheng only pushed open the door and entered the room after receiving a response. He saw the beautiful woman sitting on a stool looking at him and smiled slightly.
"Wang Xinyi, let's talk some more. It's quiet now, no one will disturb us."
"Brother Zhao, please have a seat."
Zhao Tiancheng sat opposite Wang Xinyi, so he could clearly see her expression.
"Wang Xinyi, the powerful backer I found is still quite effective, isn't it?"
"Brother Zhao, I've thought about it and I think we can try dating." Wang Xinyi really felt her face burning. She was a woman who had received a traditional education, and it was really embarrassing to say it so bluntly.
Zhao Tiancheng put away his smile and said seriously, "Xinyi, thank you for giving me this opportunity. I have no bad habits and I am of good character. Please rest assured about that."
But what I want to tell you is that I don't want us to go through the dating phase like young people do before getting married. We're at a certain age, we're mature enough, and I'm only talking to you with marriage in mind.
“But we’re not familiar with each other.” Wang Xinyi was very conflicted.
"Xinyi, can we truly understand each other just by spending time together? Since we've already developed feelings for each other, why don't we trust each other this once?"
"This is so sudden." Wang Xinyi looked at Zhao Tiancheng in a panic, not knowing what to do. The teacup in her hand tilted, and water spilled onto the table.
Zhao Tiancheng took the teacup from her hand, then grasped Wang Xinyi's soft, delicate hand.
"Xinyi, don't be afraid. Try to trust me this once. Although we've only known each other for a little over ten days, we've both seen the real each other."
Wang Xinyi pulled her hand away and rubbed it together.
"Xinyi, is there something you're worried about? Tell me, and I can help you resolve your concerns."
“Brother Zhao, no, then fine, I’ll give each other a chance.”
"Hehe, that's great! Let's get our marriage certificate on Monday the day after tomorrow, and I'll contact the church tomorrow so we can have a grand wedding."
Wang Xinyi lowered her head slightly, "Brother Zhao, do you have many friends here?"
"Well, they're all business associates. I wanted to introduce you to them, since you're Mrs. Zhao, and I want to announce to everyone I know that I, Zhao Tiancheng, am married to Wang Xinyi, the woman I love."
You don't need to worry about anything. Someone will deliver the wedding dress tomorrow, and I'll take care of everything else.
"Let's hold the ceremony next Saturday or Sunday. I don't have any relatives or friends, only Hongmei, but she has to go to school. You see, she doesn't relax at all, so I don't want to delay her."
"Xinyi, I really can't wait to become your family. Why don't we call Hongmei and Haozheng over and hear their opinions?"
"Alright then." Wang Xinyi felt her face burning. It was really embarrassing to have a younger generation participate in her wedding at her age.
Looking at Wang Xinyi, who was as shy as a young girl, Zhao Tiancheng thought she was too beautiful and completely attracted to him.
Zhang Hongmei had just come out of the space when she heard a knock on the door.
"Hongmei, this is Zhao Tiancheng. Please come down to Wang Xinyi's room. There are some things I want to discuss with you."
"Okay, right away."
Upon entering Wang Xinyi's room, they saw Zhao Tiancheng and his son both there. Had they already planned this?
“Hongmei, it’s like this, Wang Xinyi and I have discussed it and decided to get our marriage certificate on Monday. I’d like to have the ceremony at the church that day, but I’m worried it will interfere with your studies.”
"Hehe, then congratulations to you two. I think any time is fine."
"Aunt Wang, if Mr. Zhao has arranged it for Monday, I will definitely be there. But for the rest of the people, we can have a big meal next Saturday. If it's next Saturday, that would be even better."
"Dad, Aunt Wang, we can go to the church for the ceremony tomorrow, and as for getting the marriage certificate, we can go on Monday, right? Hongmei and I can go with you on Monday."
Zhao Tiancheng slapped his thigh excitedly, "Yes! That's the best way, Xinyi, what do you think?"
"Mr. Zhao, aren't you being too impatient?" Zhang Hongmei couldn't help but complain.
"Hehe, of course I'm anxious. Please understand the anxious feelings of a lonely old man. Xinyi, I'll go find a dress now. Haozheng, go and tell the children who just left. Have Richard tell my friends that we'll meet at the church tomorrow afternoon."
Wang Xinyi and Zhang Hongmei exchanged a glance, as if their opinions hadn't even been voiced yet, and things were already being arranged?
