"Heh, your father would actually agree to have an orphan as his daughter-in-law, especially one who's a bodyguard?"
"This is my own life, and he can't interfere with it."
"Does your question mean you agree?" Zeng Zhongkang stared intently at Wang Ying's face, observing her expression.
"Yes, I agree. This was originally my suggestion."
"Okay, I won't go out. I'll go and file for marriage registration tomorrow. If it's approved, we'll get married right away."
Wang Ying was taken aback by his words. So urgent? But thinking about it, it's actually a good thing.
"Where do you go to get your marriage certificate? You're practically a researcher now."
"Go see Chief Gu tomorrow."
"We definitely need to find someone, but we still need to get the institute's signature, right?"
"You don't need to worry about that. Once the report is ready, we'll go get the marriage certificate."
Wang Ying nodded. "Okay, we'll talk to the commander tomorrow morning."
The two had reached an agreement. Zeng Zhongkang nodded to Wang Ying and turned to leave.
Wang Ying was not at peace; she lay in bed unable to fall asleep.
I should go find Hongmei and tell her now. Wang Ying felt that she would feel better once she told her.
Zeng Zhongkang knocked on Cheng Guangxu's door.
"I'm not going back with you. I need to file for marriage registration and prepare for the wedding."
Cheng Guangxu was stunned after hearing Zeng Zhongkang's words. What was going on? In just a short while? He had already tricked her into marrying him?
Where did you get that money from?
"What's it to you?"
"Zeng Zhongkang, I already know even if you don't say it. You didn't make a decision after dinner, but at this time, so it must be Wang Ying. Tell me, how did you manage to fool her?"
"It's a secret, I can't tell you."
"Zeng Zhongkang, are you showing off?"
"You found out." He then left.
Cheng Guangxu was so angry he could only snort. This guy was just showing off to him. He was supposed to get married first, so how did that sullen person get there first?
I'm really not happy about this. No, I have to urge Hongmei tomorrow morning. How could this have happened?
Wang Ying strolled around the yard without going into her room. Instead, she knocked on Zhang Hongmei's door.
“Hongmei, he agreed.”
Zhang Hongmei was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening.
"Wang Ying, come in and talk."
The two went inside. Zhang Hongmei handed Wang Ying a glass of water.
“Hongmei, I don’t know what’s going on. My original thought was that Zeng Zhongkang wouldn’t agree.”
Why do you have this idea?
“Hongmei, actually I’m a bit insecure. My status as an orphan and my job, although I don’t think they’re bad, I’m still afraid that others will care.”
"What are you thinking? I think you're already very good. Optimistic, cheerful, and capable. Don't overthink it; a girl like you is very likable."
Wang Ying drank the water. "Hongmei, I just told him to go out and then asked him directly and bluntly."
You know, I didn't even dare look at his expression. Don't you think that girls are at a disadvantage if they speak first?
"How could that be? It's because you bravely pursued the life you wanted. Perhaps in the eyes of the world, girls should be reserved. But this reserve should not be interpreted as a lack of courage or ambition."
Wang Ying, do you really like Zeng Zhongkang?
"I don't know, I just feel that he is reliable and that I would feel very safe with him."
Zhang Hongmei was speechless. What was this girl thinking?
"Wang Ying, where is your girlish heart? Shouldn't you be longing for love at your age? Why do I feel like you're looking for family and kinship?"
Let me tell you, two people who get married don't necessarily have to love each other, but if they do, they will feel fulfilled.
Of course, there are also many, or even most, couples who develop their love after marriage.
Wang Ying, I hope you can be happy and experience the joy of love.
"But how long can love last?"
"Even if it's only for a few years, it's a taste you'll experience yourself."
Wang Ying stopped talking and lowered her head.
"Wang Ying, I hope you will think this through!"
“I understand, but Zeng Zhongkang is the only person I want to live with.”
"Then let's try to develop it into love."
“Hongmei, Zeng Zhongkang will go and submit the marriage application tomorrow. We’ll talk to the old commander about it tomorrow.”
"Heh, I didn't expect Zeng Zhongkang to be such a repressed pervert?"
"Hongmei, don't worry, we're both adults and we know what we're doing."
"Okay, I believe you. I just want you to be happy."
"Yes, I will. You should rest. It's already past midnight."
"Okay, you should rest too!"
After seeing Wang Ying off, Zhang Hongmei lay in bed unable to sleep, tossing and turning. Finally, she sat up, took out paper and pen, and wrote a letter to Zhang Shouyi about what had happened with Wang Ying that day.
Someone who was reviewing documents sensed the letter from his wife and immediately confessed.
After reading it, I felt quite happy. Another person who wanted to marry a wife has fallen behind. That's great! Their marriage application will be approved tomorrow morning.
Hurry up and get married. I'd only be willing if all these awful people got married soon.
He simply wrote a few words on the paper: "Wife, I love you!"
Thinking about his wife's expression when she saw the letter, he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
Zeng Zhongkang lay in bed, wide awake. He had always planned to live a solitary life, never imagining he would one day get married.
My memories of Wang Ying are hazy. It was probably just that one meeting before I left? And then there were the meetings these past two days since I got back. How did she notice me?
I really don't understand what it is about me that made that girl like me?
However, the thought of being able to get married without being controlled by my father makes me quite happy.
As for whether he is happy or not, that is beyond my control.
However, if he is out of touch with reality and opposes or is dissatisfied with Wang Ying, then they should avoid meeting in the future, or meet less frequently.
The next morning, everyone seemed normal except for Wang Ying.
Zhang Hongmei looked at the dark circles under the young girl's eyes and laughed unkindly.
"I'm going to feed Niu Niu."
"No need for you, I'll feed her." Aunt Li snatched the bowl and sat down next to Niu Niu with a smile.
"Wang Ying, are you trying to run away?"
"Zhang Hongmei!" Wang Ying rolled her eyes at her helplessly.
Gu Chuanming glanced at the junior curiously. What was going on? Why were they making faces at each other?
Gu Chuanming and Zhang Xingguo put down their chopsticks. At this moment, Zeng Zhongkang suddenly stood up and walked to Wang Ying's side.
The two walked up to Gu Chuanming. "Commander, we'd like to ask you for permission to get married."
