Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Zhuang Shurong was a little unaccustomed to it and was stunned for a moment. However, she did not reject it in the end and sat quietly.
“Don’t worry, I won’t bully you anyway.”
Seeing that Zhuang Shurong’s expression was a little strange, it was probably because she was uneasy about the unknown future. Mu Tangchuan thought for a moment and comforted her.
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Shurong stiffened for a moment. After a moment, she tried her best to squeeze out a smile and did not say anything. She turned her head to look at him and then lowered her eyes.
….
Hence, the matter of the engagement between the two of them was thus confirmed.
Mu Yinan, w.a.n.g Hui, and the Zhuang couple were both action-oriented. Once this matter was finalized, they could not wait to do it immediately. Hence, the date they chose was the nearest one. They would be engaged at the end of the month in 10 days.
Zhuang Shurong felt that those days seemed to be very chaotic for her. However, time pa.s.sed very quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was time for the engagement.
Zhuang Shurong recalled that during those days, she would only go to and from work almost every day. Mu Tangchuan would come over to visit almost every day. However, he was also very busy at that time. When he often came over, he would have the time to have a cup of tea in the office, then, he had to go back.
When he returned home, he tried on the engagement dress one after another. He had also gotten it tailored several times.
The engagement ceremony was at a hotel near the Mu family’s old residence.
Early in the morning, Zhuang Shurong was pulled out of bed by her mother and good friends. After washing up and having breakfast, she began to put on makeup and dress up.
Zhuang Shurong was already a beauty. She was one of those rare, clean, and modern beauties. What more once she put on this gorgeous gown and makeup.
Even Mu Tangchuan, who was used to seeing beautiful women, could not help but be stunned for a long time.
The engagement ceremony was simple but luxurious. Most of the guests invited were familiar friends.
When the banquet ended, it was already night time.
Mu Tangchuan was a step ahead of Zhuang Shurong and sent her back to the Zhuang residence. He accompanied Zhuang Shurong inside.
There were only the two of them at home. Mu Tangchuan boiled water to brew two cups of flower tea and handed Zhuang Shurong a cup. “Rest for a while. You’re very beautiful today, Ah Rong!”
This was the first time Mu Tangchuan had praised a girl’s beauty. At this moment, he also felt that it was a little strange. However, at this moment, he did not know why he could speak so naturally.
Zhuang Shurong was stunned when she heard his words. After a while, she suddenly felt a slight heat on her face
She had been with Mu Tangchuan for a long time, but he had never said such things. He had always acted like a reserved gentleman. Now that she heard his words, she naturally could not react in time.
“Thank you, you did well today.”
After a long time, Zhuang Shurong replied.
Mu Tangchuan smiled and lowered his head to drink some water, “Alright, today will be over soon. We will have many more opportunities to get to know each other later. If you are still worried about the upcoming wedding, from now on, you will still have many opportunities to get to know me, so you don’t have to be nervous.”
“Which eye of yours saw that I was nervous?”
Zhuang Shurong glanced at him unhappily. Deep down, she was actually a little unhappy that he had seen through her.
“My pair of eyes of can see,” Mu Tangchuan said in a serious manner.
“You…”
Zhuang Shurong frowned and stopped what she was doing. She looked at him steadily. “I’m not nervous.”
Mu Tangchuan smiled and looked at Zhuang Shurong, who had a serious expression on her face. After interacting with her for so long, he knew Zhuang Shurong’s personality. She was a person who was used to explaining things clearly. For example, if you were wrong, she wanted you to realize that you were wrong. Of course, if she thought about it carefully and realized that she was in the wrong, she would also admit her mistake humbly.
Perhaps it was because of her career that she was used to making things clear.
“I’m really not nervous. You don’t have a good eye.”
“You win.”
Mu Tangchuan was famous for his temper. Moreover, he had almost never been calculative with women. He was also the calmest among the brothers.
Hearing this, Zhuang Shurong finally let him go, “I’m trying to explain to you, you have to listen, you have to give people a chance to explain. This is a major flaw in human nature. Many things can actually be clarified through explanation, we can avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble and tragedy.”
Zhuang Shurong was used to seeing through life, so no one had a deeper understanding of this aspect than her. At this time, she could not help but remind him.
Mu Tangchuan was also used to Zhuang Shurong’s occasional lecture. He knew that she was p.r.o.ne to occupational hazards.
“I’ve learned my lesson, Miss Zhuang.”
Mu Tangchuan smiled humbly.
“Did you really listen to me?”
Zhuang Shurong narrowed her eyes at him suspiciously.
“Of course. If I think it makes sense, I’ll remember it here.”
Mu Tangchuan pointed at his head.
Zhuang Shurong’s slightly furrowed brows eased up a little.
“I know that you guys will have a job adjustment after the New Year. The list of outward transfers will be out very soon. Do you want to stay in City Z?”
Mu Tangchuan suddenly thought of this matter.
“Yeah, I’m not sure if I’m on the list either. In the past few years, the higher-ups have been very focused on the development of the cities below. Usually, they would select some people to a.s.sist the local officials in handling official affairs. Previously, a very good colleague of mine went to XX County last year and could only be back after three years.”
Zhuang Shurong was also a little uneasy about this matter. She naturally did not want to leave City Z because her parents and family were all here. She did not know if she could accept it if she left and went to an unfamiliar city.
She had almost never really left City Z to live in another city. Other than the necessary studies, she rarely left this city. Even when she applied for university, she applied for this city.
“It’s great to be able to stay in City Z, but if it’s arranged by the higher-ups, you can’t throw a fit.”
Zhuang Shurong said this helplessly. She had hinted to her mother about this matter before, but her mother’s answer was to let her do as she saw fit and obey the organization’s arrangements.
What did she mean by obeying the organization’s arrangements?
Would that not be asking her to surrender to fate?
Mu Tangchuan caught a glimpse of her uncertain little face and knew what to do. “Don’t worry. Even if your name is really there, it doesn’t have to be you.
“That’s easy for you to say. If I can get used to it, I won’t worry. I’ve never gone away somewhere to live before…”
Zhuang Shurong had to admit that she did not know how to take care of herself. She did not even have to worry about her family. She was now half an idiot of life. She did not know how to cook at all!
