Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After the engagement, Mu Tangchuan and Zhuang Shurong’s relations.h.i.+p took a leap forward.
The two of them got along with each other more harmoniously.
In the blink of an eye, it was near the end of the year again. During this period of time, everyone was very busy. Xie Jiajia’s belly had also started to grow in the past few months. Su Zhengxun had even thought of the child’s name. If it was a girl, he would be called Su Yu, and if it was a boy, he would be called Su Chen.
At that time, there were still some traditional ideas in the family. Therefore, the Su family naturally hoped that this child would be a boy. However, it was not to the extent of not being open-minded, so they would not reject a girl.
During this period of time, Xie Jiajia was free and became more and more familiar with Zhuang Shurong.. Whenever she had nothing to do, she would run over to Zhuang Shurong. She even chatted happily with Zhuang Shurong. A lot of the things she talked about were about her, Su Zhengxun, and Mu Tangchuan, she also talked about her dream of becoming a policewoman when she was young. She even made a lot of jokes because of this matter.
Zhuang Shurong liked Xie Jiajia’s straightforward and unscheming look. When they chatted, she would not feel depressed or awkward.
At noon, Zhuang Shurong had just sent Xie Jiajia off when Mu Tangchuan walked in with a bouquet of flowers in his hand.
“So soon? I wanted to ask Jiajia to wait for dinner, but she rushed back when she heard that you were here.”
Zhuang Shurong glanced at him and took the flowers from him.
Mu Tangchuan glanced at her and casually took the cup in front of her table. He drank the water in the cup in a few gulps. “She’s also a very sensible person.”
“What?”
“I said she’s very smart. Pack up and go out for dinner.”
“Okay.”
Zhuang Shurong placed the bouquet in a vase at the side and sprinkled some water on it before she was satisfied. “The flowers today are pretty good.”
“I asked the boss to specially leave the best ones. Doesn’t it look good this way?”
Mu Tangchuan gave a rare explanation.
“Are you addicted to sending flowers? You send them in a different way every day.”
“Didn’t you say that you like it when I send you flowers?”
Mu Tangchuan asked as if it was a matter of course.
Zhuang Shurong smiled happily. She picked up her handbag and the two of them left the office.
The two of them agreed to have their meal near Zhuang Shurong’s office. They did not need to drive. It would only take them about ten minutes to walk.
“By the way, did you get the list of a.s.signments?”
It was almost the new year, and Mu Tangchuan thought of this matter.
“Yes, I got them. I’m not listed. This time, it’s all thanks to you. Otherwise, my name might have been on it.”
Zhuang Shurong’s gaze was filled with grat.i.tude. “Thank you, Tangchuan.”
“Consider our relations.h.i.+p, do you think there’s a need for us to be so courteous? We’ve been engaged for quite a long time. It’s almost the end of the year, and after that, it’s a new year. They’re all planning to arrange our wedding for after the New Year.”
Mu Tangchuan poured some lemonade for Zhuang Shurong as he said this.
“If that’s the case, then we’d better arrange the date later. I have an exam after the new year, and I need to prepare for the war for a few months. If we have to get married next year, then let’s make it eleven, okay?”
Zhuang Shurong thought about it seriously and replied.
“You have the final say on this matter. I don’t have any objections. I’ll listen to you,” Mu Tangchuan replied.
Zhuang Shurong nodded. “Then tell them?”
“It’s your opinion. Why don’t you tell them yourself?”
Mu Tangchuan raised his handsome eyebrows and looked at her meaningfully.
“I’ll leave this matter to you. Otherwise, why would I need you here?”
Zhuang Shurong spoke with confidence. Mu Tangchuan lowered his eyes and smiled. He felt a little helpless. “I always feel that you, Miss Zhuang, are a little suspicious of climbing up the ladder just because you give me something.”
“You’re right to think that way. I’m such a person.”
Zhuang Shurong said without hiding anything, “Anyway, I’m someone who has something to give.”
The corner of Mu Tangchuan’s mouth curled up slightly. Suddenly, he reached out to pull a napkin from the side and handed it to Zhuang Shurong’s mouth. Zhuang Shurong was stunned for a moment before she could react, he had already stuffed the napkin with some sauce into her hand.
Zhuang Shurong looked at it and was actually a little embarra.s.sed. “I…”
“This weekend is my Master’s 70th birthday. He plans to hold a party at his home. I want you to go with me, okay?”
Before Zhuang Shurong could finish her sentence, Mu Tangchuan’s voice was heard. Zhuang Shurong paused again and looked at him suspiciously. “Your Master?”
“Yes, he can be considered a n.o.ble person for me and Zhengxun. Back then, the reason why we got involved in politics was largely because of his influence. Every time there was a hurdle that we could not overcome, we would look for him to talk about it. He is a wise man. Knowing him, you won’t be at a disadvantage. Moreover, I think it’s time for me to bring you to meet him.”
Mu Tangchuan seemed to have made a decision. His tone was filled with determination. Zhuang Shurong did not have the heart to reject him. She thought about it and nodded. “Then… Then I’ll accompany you.”
After getting a satisfactory answer, Mu Tangchuan smiled in satisfaction. Suddenly, he reached over and poured her a gla.s.s of water.
…
Actually, Zhuang Shurong also had some doubts in her heart. What kind of person could make such a n.o.ble and honorable mu Tangchuan treat him as his teacher? Moreover, he was so respectful and even prepared a gift out of the ordinary.
Zhuang Shurong soon met the teacher that Mu Tangchuan mentioned—
It was a very kind-looking old man. He was Mu Tangchuan’s form teacher for three years in high school. Although the old man was skinny, he was in good spirits. He looked at Zhuang Shurong with a very kind gaze.
“You… You must be Mai Zi?”
The old man patted Zhuang Shurong’s hand affectionately and smiled.
“Mai Zi?”
Zhuang Shurong was stunned. She did not know who maze was. However, she realized that the old man had mistaken her for someone else. She was not Mai Zi. She was Zhuang Shurong.
“Aren’t you Mai Zi? I heard Zhengxun mention that you and Tangchuan have been together for many years. Do you plan to get married? Tangchuan has hidden himself well. This is the first time he brought his girlfriend to see me…”
The old man continued to talk to himself. However, Zhuang Shurong frowned slightly.
It seemed that the Mai Zi that the old man was talking about was Mu Tangchuan’s ex-girlfriend?
“I’m sorry, Teacher Feng. I’m not Mai Zi. I’m Zhuang Shurong. Is Mai Zi Tangchuan’s ex-girlfriend?”
Zhuang Shurong finally lowered her voice and asked.
“You’re not Mai Zi?”
The old man was clearly surprised as well. Previously, when Mu Tangchuan was engaged, he was still out of town and did not rush back. Naturally, he did not know of Zhuang Shurong’s existence.
