The teacher stared at him and sighed. “This kid… is already in love.”
He shook his head and said regretfully, “What a pity. You’re already an adult. My hands are itchy again. I really want to catch the children who are in early love…”
Back then, Jiang Wei’s form teacher’s nickname was Club, and he specialized in breaking up couples.
When Jiang Wei let go of Fang Yuqing, he found his former form teacher. He was standing by the corridor on the third floor, smiling at him and Fang Yuqing. Jiang Wei nodded and smiled at Teacher Song. Then, he said, “Teacher Song, when I get married, you have to come and have a few drinks!”
Teacher Song snorted with disdain. When he heard the cla.s.s bell ring, he hurriedly asked, “Which day?” No matter what, Jiang Wei was one of the most outstanding students he had ever taught. He still liked him.
!!
Jiang Wei threw Teacher Song’s question to Fang Yuqing and asked, “Which day?”
Fang Yuqing did not want to speak anymore.
She lowered her head, not daring to raise her red face. She stopped teasing Fang Yuqing and said to the teacher, “Once the date is confirmed, I’ll call you personally to inform you. You can go to cla.s.s.”
Teacher Song snorted and returned to his office.
Jiang Wei signed Fang Yuqing’s hand and said, “This is my former form teacher, Song Hui.”
Fang Yuqing thought of something and found it funny. She asked, “Song Hui?”
Jiang Wei smiled. “Yes, it’s him.”
Recalling something funny, Jiang Wei revealed, “Back then, Hu Cheng and Mu Sha were arguing in school and were scolded by Teacher Song in person.” That was during the last two months of their third year of high school. Even though the children were about to graduate, Teacher Song still didn’t forget to catch students who were in a relations.h.i.+p.
Fang Yuqing smiled and said, “Good scolding!”
Now that she heard the name Hu Cheng, Fang Yuqing no longer felt hurt.
The person who had hurt you deeply would one day become less eye-catching than a speck of dust. He would no longer be able to stir up your emotions. It was not because you had forgotten about the pain, but because you had grown up. You were better. You had met someone more worthy of cheris.h.i.+ng.
To the current Fang Yuqing, Hu Cheng was just a speck of dust.
When she left school, Fang Yuqing looked down at the ring on her finger. Of course, she knew what this ring represented. When this ring had first gone on the market, its advertising slogan had become popular on Weibo and the internet. Every woman wanted a loyal ring.
She had received it today.
Fang Yuqing felt that all of this was like a dream. It was unbelievable.
“Jiang Wei, pinch me.”
Jiang Wei walked to Fang Yuqing’s left hand and held it. Upon hearing her words, he smiled and pinched her palm. “Oh!” Fang Yuqing retracted her hand in pain and glared at him. “Can’t you be gentler?”
Jiang Wei stopped smiling and asked, “Does it hurt enough?”
Fang Yuqing nodded.
Jiang Wei added, “That’s why it’s real.”
Fang Yuqing looked up at Jiang Wei’s side profile, her heart melting.
“Are you coming to my house for dinner tonight?” Jiang Wei asked Fang Yuqing.
Fang Yuqing had not been to the Jiang Family for a long time. The last time she had gone to the Jiang Family was a few years ago. At that time, they were still engaged.
However, at that time, their relations.h.i.+p was fake. When Fang Yuqing visited, she did not feel nervous. However, things were different now. She was no longer Jiang Wei’s fake fiancée, but a real one.
Fang Yuqing immediately felt uncomfortable. Every pore on her body was emitting a nervous aura. “It’s not good for me to wear this, right?”
“Then go back and change first.”
Fang Yuqing added, “I wasn’t prepared at all…”
“Then get ready now.”
Jiang Wei was determined to bring Fang Yuqing home.
In the end, Fang Yuqing agreed.
She went home and changed into more formal clothes. She wore a white top with a light coffee-colored A-line skirt and a long camel-colored trench coat. She even went to the hair salon at the last minute to do her hair.
This outfit was even more beautiful and moving. She was even more beautiful than the young Xu Pingfei.
The Jiang Family was also a big family and did not lack anything. Fang Yuqing could not visit empty-handed. After thinking about it, she called her mother. “Mom, I’m going to Jiang Wei’s house for dinner tonight. You know Uncle Jiang and Madam Jiang. Tell me, what should I give you as a welcome gift?”
When she received Fang Yuqing’s call, Xu Pingfei had just finished filming and was sleeping.
She thought for a while before saying, “Liu Qingya likes to collect porcelain artifacts. Your brother has a tea set I brought back from Jingdezhen two years ago. Take it with you.”
Fang Yuqing hurriedly agreed. “What about Uncle Jiang?”
“Jiang Bo?” In the past, when Fang Pingjue was still alive, the two of them would occasionally get together to fish and drink some wine. Xu Pingfei was quite familiar with Jiang Bo. After thinking for a while, she said, “Give him a set of fis.h.i.+ng gear.”
“Okay!”
Fang Yuqing was about to hang up when she heard Xu Pingfei remind her on the other end of the phone, “Qingqing, you’re going to be a daughter-in-law, not a nanny. Remember, when you visit later, you have to be generous. Don’t flatter or curry favor, but you can’t be arrogant either. Be obedient and humble when you have to. When you have to be stubborn, straighten your back.”
Fang Yuqing was stunned.
She had not expected Xu Pingfei to say such things.
“… Okay.”
Xu Pingfei added, “Qingqing, you have to remember that you’re not inferior to anyone. If someone in the Jiang Family despises you, scold them back. Don’t tolerate it. If someone respects you, give them respect. If someone offends you, don’t be afraid of offending them. Don’t forget that you’re from the Fang Family…”
Xu Pingfei babbled a lot of heartfelt words to Fang Yuqing. Just like every mother, if their daughter could not get married, they would be worried. If their daughter got married, they would be worried too.
Poor parents.
Fang Yuqing listened to Xu Pingfei’s nagging quietly. She did not feel annoyed. On the contrary, she was very touched.
Realizing that if she did not stop her, Xu Pingfei might continue speaking for another hour, Fang Yuqing did not know whether to laugh or cry. She had no choice but to interrupt Xu Pingfei’s speech. “I understand, Mom. Don’t worry, Jiang Wei is here.”
When Xu Pingfei heard Jiang Wei’s name, she felt relieved.
“That’s true. Jiang Wei is a good child. I was overly worried.”
After Xu Pingfei hung up, Jiang Wei asked her, “Is your mother that worried?”
Fang Yuqing asked him, “This is her daughter’s first official visit to her man’s house. Wouldn’t she be worried?”
Jiang Wei’s gaze landed on Fang Yuqing’s stomach.
The corners of his eyes raised as he smiled faintly. He said with antic.i.p.ation, “First, you have to give birth to a daughter for me.”
Fang Yuqing rolled her eyes at him.
The two of them went back to Fang Yu’an’s place and found the porcelain tea set. Then, they went to the fis.h.i.+ng gear shop to buy a fis.h.i.+ng rod before driving to the Jiang family. On the way, Jiang Wei received a call. It was from Mrs. Jiang. Mrs. Jiang said something on the other end, and Fang Yuqing, who was sitting in the front pa.s.senger seat, heard it.
Liu Qingya asked how long it would take for them to arrive. She asked if Fang Yuqing’s taste had changed and said that she had cooked dinner according to Fang Yuqing’s previous taste…
In short, they were all questions.
After hanging up, Jiang Wei said to Fang Yuqing, “It seems that your mother is not the only one who is nervous. My mother is also quite nervous.”
Fang Yuqing smiled. “Everyone says that daughter-in-laws should be nervous when they see their in-laws. Why is your mother nervous too?”
Jiang Wei’s smile faded. He said, “Because I love you. My mother and the rest know that I like you. They’re afraid of leaving a bad impression on you and delaying my important matters.”
Fang Yuqing was stunned for a moment before saying, “You have a good pair of parents.” The Jiang parents would consider the happiness of their children all the time, unlike her father…
