Zhuang Shurong was stunned for a moment. When she saw the seriousness and determination in his eyes, she immediately smiled—
“I haven’t decided whether I want to marry you or not.”
“If you don’t want to marry me, then I’ll force you to marry me. I don’t believe that I can’t kidnap you to the church, what else can you do once it’s a done deal?”
Mu Tangchuan glanced at her in annoyance. “You’ll just have to be my wife, wife of a bandit.”
“Who wants to be your wife? You’re like a gangster. I want to get the police to arrest you.”
“You have to be able to escape,” Mu Tangchuan replied and sped up.
“I have a gift for you..”
Mu Tangchuan suddenly remembered the gift he brought back from his business trip a few days ago.
“Hmm? What did you buy for me?”
It was always some jewelry, and she rarely wore jewelry. Later, when Mu Tangchuan found out that she had a habit of collecting ancient books, he began to give her many books or some precious ma.n.u.scripts from the seniors.
“Open it and take a look.”
Mu Tangchuan casually took out a brocade box from his pocket and handed it to her.
Zhuang Shurong was puzzled and quickly opened the gift box. She saw that there was a very simple and simple lady’s watch inside. It was very generous and elegant, and it looked expensive.
“It’s very beautiful. Why are you…”
Zhuang Shurong’s beautiful eyes lit up. She turned her head to look at him. “Do you like gifting these to girls?”
“That depends on who it is. I don’t lose out by giving it to you, I lose out by giving it to others. So, other than you, I haven’t given it to anyone else. I’m actually a very stingy person,” Mu Tangchuan said indifferently.
Hearing this, Zhuang Shurong laughed lightly. “Would someone say that about themselves?”
“The truth.”
“Alright, I’ll accept the gift. It’s very nice and I like it very much. You don’t have to give me such an expensive gift next time. I’m not returning the favor.”
“Aren’t you already the best gift?”
Mu Tangchuan glanced at her, and the smile on his face became more obvious.
“You’re right.”
Zhuang Shurong did not speak modestly at this moment.
“The exams are after the New Year. I plan to go to the library to recharge my batteries in the next two months, so I can only use the time at night. Do you want to go with me? There are fewer people there at night, so you probably can’t bear to see me come and go alone, right?”
Zhuang Shurong’s tone was no longer one of discussion. “Moreover, you can also go there to handle official business. I know that you often work overtime at night. How about this, I’ll even take care of your supper and be your chauffeur. How about it?”
“Since you’ve already said so, if I don’t agree I’d appear ungentlemanly,” Mu Tangchuan replied cheerfully.
“So, you agree?”
Zhuang Shurong’s eyes lit up.
“You don’t have to be the chauffeur and in charge of supper. I’ll go straight to your office to pick you up after work every day.”
Mu Tangchuan thought for a moment and agreed.
“Okay, it’s a deal then.”
Zhuang Shurong was naturally very happy.
…
Such an agreement was also a good thing. The two of them were already engaged and were fiancèes. It was normal for them to get along at that time. This also gave them more opportunities to get to know each other.
After the agreement, Mu Tangchuan went to pick Zhuang Shurong up two days later as promised.
After the two of them had a simple snack, they went straight to the library.
The library in City Z was in the city center in the earlier days, not very far from the government offices, it was only a 20-minute drive.
The library would close after 10:30 p.m. However, since it was night, there were not many people coming to the library. It was very quiet, so Zhuang Shurong also picked such a place to revise.
To a large extent, revising required a learning atmosphere. Otherwise, if one could not calm down, the efficiency would be very low.
Zhuang Shurong opened the book, quickly found the problem set, and began to revise.
Beside her, Mu Tangchuan also took out a doc.u.ment and continued to work on it.
In fact, speaking of which, Mu Tangchuan and Zhuang Shurong were definitely a couple who liked to work hard together. In this library, they often appeared. Mu Tangchuan rose in rank, while Zhuang Shurong had a meteoric rise in career, it was all related to the hard work between the two of them.
Zhuang Shurong’s official position at this moment was not very high. When the husband and wife reached the end, recalling this period of time, they felt that it was worth reminiscing about.
Zhuang Shurong also did not expect that in the long period of time to come, the man beside her would actually be able to accompany her in this life so calmly and indifferently. Although it was not as intense as the fireworks, but in such ordinary days, she had tasted the joys and sorrows, her life was not in vain.
After completing a set of exercises, she realized that there was a cup of hot tea beside her. Zhuang Shurong turned her head to take a look and saw that Mu Tangchuan had already retracted his hand and continued to look at his doc.u.ments. However, at this moment, there was an additional cup of hot tea beside her hand.
Zhuang Shurong was in a daze for a moment. As she smelled the faint fragrance of tea in the air, her heart inexplicably softened. After thinking for a moment, she brought it over and took a few sips. When she looked at him, he was focused on reading the doc.u.ments.
He was good at writing. He had a very rigid and flowing script. It was vigorous and powerful. There was an aura in the tip of the brush, but it was also reserved and gentle. It was similar to his personality.
At this moment, Zhuang Shurong felt a little admiration and enjoyment as she looked at him.
No wonder there were so many people who were infatuated with him in school. Indeed, this man was very charming.
“What’s wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?”
Sensing Zhuang Shurong’s gaze, Mu Tangchuan also raised his head from the doc.u.ment and looked over.
Zhuang Shurong was supporting her chin at this moment, staring at him with her starry eyes. “I think that you’re actually quite pleasing to the eye. It’s no wonder that so many girls in school were infatuated with you back then.”
“So? Do you feel that you’ve gotten lucky now?”
Mu Tangchuan raised his eyebrows and asked without any modesty.
Zhuang Shurong smiled calmly. “To be honest, I feel a little proud. In the future, if we really get married and word gets out, I don’t know how many people will be envious of us. I hope that such a marriage can be consummated.”
“Of course it can be consummated. Don’t you see that things are developing in a positive direction now?”
Mu Tangchuan actually admitted that he had changed a little recently. In the past, he did not have much patience when it came to dealing with women. However, the strange thing was that he could treat Zhuang Shurong so calmly now.
So, this was how he looked at people.
“The New Year holiday is coming up in a few days. I might have to make a trip back to my hometown. My hometown is in the countryside. Every New Year, I have the habit of paying respects to my ancestors. My grandfather used to be in the army. My grandmother is a university teacher. I’ve told you this before. When we got engaged, you met them too.”
