"What else could it be? You just don't give people the impression you're not doing well enough." Wang Changyuan spoke with the tone of an experienced person. He glanced at Chen Jialing secretly, and when he saw that she didn't show any sign of hesitation, he continued speaking.
"Have you ever mentioned your family situation to her?"
Hearing this, Zhou Rang was stunned, his brows furrowed even deeper, and he murmured in a low voice: "It was mentioned, but not much."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Changyuan clapped his hands and said, "That's it. You didn't mention anything in front of her. How could she be willing to go back with you to meet your parents?"
"Why? Wouldn't you know what my family is like if you met them?" Zhou Rang tapped the table with his fingertips, pretending to listen attentively.
Wang Changyuan refused to say anything, and smiled mysteriously, intending to keep Zhou Rang in suspense.
But before Zhou Rang could lose his temper, Zheng Guangqi stood up first and slapped Wang Changyuan's arm in annoyance, saying angrily, "Stop dithering, old man. Come on, tell me. I want to learn from you too."
"Why are you joining in the fun when you don't even have a partner?" Yang Qianhe, who was watching the fun from the side, saw this and laughed out loud, unable to help but teasing him.
Zheng Guangqi took a sip of red wine and chuckled, "You don't understand this, right? Just because you don't have it now doesn't mean you won't have it in the future. Learn it in advance so you won't be so flustered when the time comes."
"I'll go and hold Su Nan back, you two can chat slowly." Chen Jialing stood up, patted Wang Changyuan on the shoulder, and then walked towards the direction where Su Nan left.
Encouraged by his wife, Wang Changyuan cleared his throat and began sharing his experience with the two curious faces: "If you don't mention your family in front of her, she will think that deep down you don't really want to marry her."
"If you really want to get married, how can you not even tell your partner about your family situation?"
At this point, Wang Changyuan paused before continuing, "And if you mention it regularly, she'll feel like you're subtly integrating her into your family, and she'll unconsciously develop a sense of intimacy and familiarity with your family."
"When you ask her to formally meet your parents, she won't feel awkward or overwhelmed anymore. Instead, she'll find it normal and simple."
Zhou Rang was silent for a moment, then nodded affirmatively. He felt that what Wang Changyuan said made some sense, and couldn't help but reflect on himself: "I didn't think it through."
"How do you know all this?" Zheng Guangqi asked curiously. He couldn't believe that these great truths actually came out of Wang Changyuan's mouth. It was like an uneducated person suddenly being admitted to university. It was simply jaw-dropping.
Wang Changyuan rolled his eyes and said speechlessly, "I'm a rough man, but I also married a beauty like my wife, okay? You'll understand these things after you experience them yourself."
Wang Changyuan grew up in a military barracks. He was a naughty and poor student. Thanks to his family's connections, he barely finished high school and was then sent to the army. Now he is an independent officer and is in charge of hundreds of people.
It has to be said that his emotional intelligence and IQ are really not impressive, and he has reached his peak through brute force and sheer enthusiasm.
Wang Changyuan's wife, Chen Jialing, is completely different from him. She has been an excellent student since childhood and is the best student in their area. She is beautiful and quiet. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is the first love goddess of most boys.
But such a beautiful girl was actually caught by the bull Wang Changyuan.
Zheng Guangqi still remembers how shocked he was when he heard the news.
"Okay, thank you, Commander Wang, for your advice." Zheng Guangqi saluted seriously, and his sarcastic look made Wang Changyuan want to throw his leather shoes in his face.
"Hasn't your aunt ever urged you to solve the big problems in your life?" Tian Yuanyuan was so amused by them that she held her stomach and laughed non-stop.
When Zheng Guangqi heard Tian Yuanyuan bring this up, he couldn't help but curl his lips. "How could I not urge her? The girls have introduced four or five girls to me, but I didn't like any of them. Besides, Zhang Xiang is the same age as me, and she's not in a hurry, so why should I be?"
Seeing that the topic was brought to himself, Zhang Xiang looked flustered for a moment, and subconsciously glanced at Zhou Rang, but he looked calm and indifferent, and it was obvious that he didn't take it to heart.
Zhang Xiang's heart sank, a trace of disappointment flashed through her mind. She feigned anger and slapped Zheng Guang'er, sneering coldly: "What do you care? It's not like no one wants me. It's just that I don't like those stinky men."
"Tsk, I really thought you weren't in a hurry? It turns out you're just like me, you haven't met anyone you like." Zheng Guangqi looked as if he had suddenly realized something, which made everyone laugh again.
Just at this moment, Su Nan and Chen Jialing came back.
Su Nan sat down next to Zhou Rang and was about to put the makeup bag into her bag when she heard Zhang Xiang say, "Miss Su, what's in here? I saw you holding it when you left just now."
"The cosmetics are all used for my daily makeup touch-ups." Su Nan raised the cosmetic bag in her hand and explained with a smile.
"Oh, makeup! No wonder you look so good. You seem to be the only one here who wears makeup. You really live an exquisite life. Hey, does this powder make all the dirt and blemishes on your face invisible?"
Zhang Xiang covered her lips as if she was very surprised, and said to others with an innocent look on her face.
Su Nan noticed the strong smell of tea when Zhang Xiang just opened her mouth. The smile on her face grew instead of diminishing. After she finished speaking, she spoke slowly.
"Hmm...how can it not be considered exquisite? Many girls wear makeup these days, you just don't know it. And makeup really does improve your complexion and make you look better. Especially the makeup I sell in my shop, the effect is first-rate."
"Miss Zhang, if you have time, you can go shopping and buy some to try at home to see if they can cover up your dark circles, acne, freckles, and the like. Otherwise, even with the normal social distance between us now, I can see the blemishes on your face clearly, let alone those who are very close to you."
"Oh, by the way, our store probably doesn't have much cosmetics in stock. If you need anything, you'd better go quickly."
Su Nan smiled the entire time. After finishing this sentence in one breath, he ignored Zhang Xiang's ugly face and looked away. He said gently to the others, "Except for Miss Zhang who made me feel uncomfortable today, everything else was great. I look forward to seeing you next time. I'll be leaving now. Goodbye."
Zhang Xiang was really surprised by Su Nan's move of naming Zhou Rang. She was just a friend of Zhou Rang, trying to intimidate her. What's wrong with saying a few rude words?
Most people would swallow their anger and pretend not to hear anything when faced with such a situation, or would just agree to it reluctantly. But why did Su Nan have such a bad temper? Not only did he step on her, he also disregarded Zhou Rang's face in front of his friends and wanted to take her away.
How can you be someone's girlfriend like this?
Zhang Xiang felt indescribable embarrassment and anger in her heart. She frowned and glared at Su Nan, then grabbed her hand and tried to stop her from leaving.
"Su Nan, what do you mean?"
