Chapter 101: Don’t Hope for Love
"I'm done packing, shall we go?"
Aija walked side by side with her, and the citrus flower scent coming from his body made her heart beat wildly.
He must be wearing perfume.
And the taste was just right for her.
And Ai Jia herself is not annoying.
Perhaps due to her family education and the environment she grew up in, Ai Jia is polite and well-mannered.
The car he was driving today was also the Red Flag in the photo.
The lines are smooth and neat, which perfectly suits his gentlemanly look.
The inside of his car was also very clean.
A very standard men's mint fragrance, without any extra cute decorations.
It can be seen that this car most likely did not welcome the hostess.
"This car is less than a year old, so it looks brand new."
Ai Jia saw Ruan Nuan looking at the car seriously and took the initiative to speak.
Ruan Nuan was stunned for a moment, realizing that he had misunderstood her, and also realized that she was thinking too much.
Perhaps it was because of the bite by Bo Junye that he was left with a psychological trauma.
Ai Jia: "Do you like seafood?"
Ruan Nuan: "Not bad."
Ai Jia nodded and said, "I have booked a delicious seafood restaurant. I think you will like it."
Ruan Nuan was amused by the snickering in his voice and asked him, "How old are you this year?"
"I'm 26, how about you?"
Ruan Nuan smiled: "I'm one year older than you." As expected, only her younger brother could show his "adorable" side in front of her.
Ai Jia saw her smile, and her eyebrows curved as well. "Why are you smiling? Do you think I'm too young?"
Ruan Nuan quickly shook her head: "No, no, I don't mind you being too small. It's good for your health to be small."
"They say men are done after twenty-five, but I'm an exception."
Ruan Nuan blushed. Ai Jia was really straightforward.
Unable to avoid it, she went along with it and pretended to be interested.
"Why are you an exception?"
When Ruan Nuan tilted her head, she looked like a cute little fat orange kid.
Round, black eyes and plump cheeks. It doesn't mean she's fat, but rather a sense of artistic conception.
"Because I exercise regularly, my physique is very strong."
Ruan Nuan deliberately pursed her lips, feigning disdain. "Many young people now love to exercise. On the contrary, those who sit in offices for long periods of time are not as healthy as them."
Aija was slightly startled and laughed for a moment. Instead of being annoyed, she smiled.
Well, I wasn't scared by her.
All the way to the seafood store.
Ruan Nuan has been thinking about how to get the upper hand over Ai Jia.
This little boy is quite interesting.
"It's not a big restaurant, but my sister and brother-in-law come here often. It's been around for decades, and the chef is very skilled."
The location here is not in a super prosperous area, but is deep in an alley shaded by ancient trees. The restaurant is not big, but it is very clean. There are also small private rooms with walls covered with landscape paintings and calligraphy. There are also small square fish tanks in the rooms with aquatic plants.
"Mr. Ai's sister, is she married?"
Ai Jia: "Oh, that's not the case. What I meant is that she often came here before she went abroad."
"It seems that Sister Ai is abroad now?"
Ai Jia: "No, she just returned to China some time ago. She just turned 30 today. Her family has arranged a marriage for her."
Ruan Nuan nodded thoughtfully and raised her eyebrows slightly.
"Like us?"
Ai Jia smiled and said, "Yes, families like ours mostly have family marriages."
Ruan Nuan smiled nonchalantly: "That sounds like a very sad thing."
Ai Jia: "But if we marry, it will definitely not be the same as others."
Ruan Nuan's interest was piqued again, "Why?"
"We have similar interests and there must be an emotional foundation before marriage. Naturally, marriage will not be boring and dull. It will be like completing a task." Ai Jia vowed, her eyes shining, humorous, optimistic and talkative.
"I haven't even told you I want to talk to you yet, and you're already thinking about what happens after marriage. You're being too impatient."
Ruan Nuan teased him.
Ai Jia was not sad either. "It doesn't matter. Whether Miss Ruan likes me or not is your business. I want to stay with Miss Ruan forever, which is my business."
Ruan Nuan smiled and poured a glass of beer for herself and him.
"Thank you, thank you. It's really not a gentleman's behavior to let a female comrade pour wine for me." Ai Jia took the wine glass and clinked it with hers at a lower level, politely and courteously.
The measure is just right.
Ruan Nuan's thoughts wandered, and she couldn't help but think that Ai Jia's family education and family style must also be very good.
Ruan Nuan and Ai Jia talked about his work.
"Some of my work requires confidentiality, and sometimes I have to travel. But if we were to fall in love, I would definitely tell you in advance to give you a full sense of security."
"Okay." Compared to Jiang Jinyue, Ai Jia's family background and self-requirements are completely on a different level.
"However, I still want to know about your love life." Ruan Nuan answered carefully.
"As for my love life, I'm on a blind date with Miss Ruan right now..." Ai Jia raised her eyebrows and looked at her with a smile.
"I mean," Ruan Nuan said implicitly, "some unbroken bad karma, such as... ambiguous partners, exes you're still in touch with, and white moonlight, etc."
Ai Jia was stunned for a moment, then shook her head firmly, "No."
Ruan Nuan's mood tightened: "Really?"
Ai Jia said seriously again: "Really not."
Ruan Nuan didn't believe it: "But you haven't been in love in the past 25 years? I don't believe it."
"We did talk about it, but there's no dispute. You can rest assured."
Ruan Nuan shook her head, "Not really."
Ai Jia: "What's not like?"
Ruan Nuan: "Your beauty and your family background don't seem to be something that women won't miss."
Ai Jia smiled happily: "That may be because I have never been a love-brained person."
"If you're not obsessed with love, you won't be trapped by it."
Ai Jia continued, "Of course, I admit that this might be a minus point. I know girls all have unrealistic fantasies, thinking that the other party will throw themselves wholeheartedly into their lives. I'm not saying it's impossible, but to be honest, there are very few such people. Only relationships formed by interests are indestructible."
It felt like someone had hit my heart hard a few times, and it was like thunder was only heard in the area where I was.
What took half a lifetime to realize was expressed in just a few words by Ai Jia, which was realistic and sharp.
Seeing her distraught look, Ai Jia's mouth drooped.
"I'm sorry, am I too..."
"No." Ruan Nuan smiled. "You're telling the truth. We've come this far with arranged marriages and blind dates. We really shouldn't hope for something as illusory as love anymore."
"Not really." Her smile made his heart ache. "It's just that before marriage, when the emotional foundation between us isn't that solid, talking about deep love is a bit far-fetched. Besides, people like us, while enjoying the fruits of our parents' hard work, can't just do whatever we want."
Ruan Nuanxin said, this makes a lot of sense.
Otherwise, why would she hide the matter of Jiang Jinyue and not want to tell her parents?
Ruan Nuan forced a smile and toasted him: "I understand, we are kindred spirits. Let me toast you."
