"For example?"
She tilted her head and gave a few examples. "For example, lying, being unhygienic, and being unfaithful physically and mentally."
"Then I don't have those. Very good. We reached an agreement."
As expected of a top business genius. Even marriage was negotiated with the most effective and fastest means. Later, the two met two more times. Signed the prenuptial property notarization. And then got engaged.
Before the engagement banquet, Qin Chun had a little regret.
Having seen her parents' affectionate marriage since childhood, she had once had expectations for love. Now, suddenly entrusting her marriage to a complete stranger without any feelings. Wasn't it too irresponsible for herself and Xiao Bingyang?
When they went out to receive guests hand in hand, she asked Xiao Bingyang uncertainly. "Do we really have to get engaged?"
At that time, Xiao Bingyang casually glanced at her. "Otherwise? Let them all be left outside?"
There were more than a hundred tables of guests. They were all looking forward to the appearance of the . Including their parents. Of course, the Xiao and Qin families couldn't afford to lose face.
"Do you really not have anyone you like?" Qin Chun asked uneasily. "I'm afraid of trouble."
Xiao Bingyang shook his head.
"Then if you have someone else in your heart in the future, you must tell me. We can part amicably. I don't like being deceived. And I hate being perfunctory even more." Qin Chun urged.
"Okay. You too." Xiao Bingyang .
The two reached an agreement again. And the marriage was engaged.
After getting married, Xiao Bingyang was as busy as he said. Busier than Qin Chun had imagined. But he also kept his promise. In the past two years, when she occasionally read the news about him, it was all about him acquiring so-and-so enterprise. The annual profit growth rate had doubled. He was the leader among the younger generation of entrepreneurs and so on. Even if there were a few rumors, at first glance, they were made up by bloggers for traffic. There was no credibility.
Today, it was even more obvious. A beautiful and talented woman like Zhuo Han accompanied him to work and travel all the time. And she had endless admiration and respect for him. But judging from his words and actions just now, he didn't have any tender thoughts. Pulling chairs, opening and closing doors, and adding water were all done by Zhuo Han. He was used to it. It was completely the attitude of a superior to a subordinate. And it had nothing to do with a rumored lover.
In the concept of some Chinese people, Xiao Bingyang can make money, has prestige, and is not unfaithful. The only drawback is that he is so busy that he is nowhere to be seen. Such a marriage can get sixty points and pass. As for the warmth and coldness in marriage, who cares?
She used to think so too. But after more than two years of life, one day, her boredom with this plastic marriage reached its peak.
Did Xiao Bingyang have any regrets in his heart? Even Zhuo Han expected him to have a beautiful and happy marriage. As a proud son of heaven, when he was alone in a foreign country. In the dead of night. When the moonlight fell. Would there be a trace of melancholy of having no one by his side floating in his heart?
Perhaps, the marriage alliance between the two families was really a mistake. Letting each other waste more than two years. Missing the love that they might have had.
This day, this confusion lingered in Qin Chun's heart until she got off work.
On the way home, there was a traffic accident. It was delayed for a while. When she got home, it was already after seven o'clock. As soon as she opened the door, Aunt Chen came in. With a big smile on her face, she nodded inside and whispered. "Sir is at home. Just now I asked if I should call and you. He also told me to be patient and wait."
Qin Chun was a bit surprised.
A few days ago, she heard from Xiao Qing that Chengfeng's lithium mine mining and sales in Country B were very successful. And they were discussing expanding the scale. She thought that Xiao Bingyang would be very busy these days. Maybe he would have to travel on business during the Chinese New Year like last year. Unexpectedly, he came home for dinner today.
Counting on her fingers, this should be the first time in several months that the two had dinner at home together. Aunt Chen did her best and made several common Anzhou dishes extraordinarily delicious.
"It tastes good." Xiao Bingyang tasted a few bites of abalone and streaky pork and praised.
"Then sir, you should come home for dinner more often. I still have many specialties." Aunt Chen was extremely happy.
Xiao Bingyang glanced at Qin Chun meaningfully. "Okay."
Qin Chun took a few bites of rice. Suddenly realizing something. Xiao Bingyang wouldn't think that she asked Aunt Chen to say that, would he?
Seeing Aunt Chen go into the kitchen and be busy, she felt that she needed to explain. "I didn't mean that. Your work is important. Coming and going is a waste of time. It's more convenient to eat at the company."
Xiao Bingyang's corner of his mouth lifted slightly. "Why? Are you still uncomfortable in your heart?"
Qin Chun was completely puzzled. "What am I uncomfortable about?"
"What were you talking about with Zhuo Han all afternoon? If there's anything you want to know, just ask me directly." Xiao Bingyang said slowly.
"Ask you what?" Qin Chun still didn't understand.
"Zhuo Han and I are purely work relationships. She is very suitable for the investment industry. She is calm-minded, capable and ambitious. I admire her but I don't like her," Xiao Bingyang patiently explained. "Don't be unhappy because of some boring rumors."
Qin Chun suddenly understood.
Xiao Bingyang thought she was jealous.
"I'm not. Really not. I just think she's beautiful and talented. So I just casually chatted with her..." She was speechless.
Still "beautiful and talented". This sounded sour.
Xiao Bingyang didn't believe it. Even Zheng Huai could see it. Secretly, he told him to be more considerate of Qin Chun's feelings. With a beautiful woman like Zhuo Han always by his side, would sister-in-law misunderstand.
A while ago, Zhuo Han beautifully merged an foreign streaming media platform. And it was snatched from an established investment company in this city. Later, rumors about her spread. In a way, it that she got her position by hugging the boss's thigh and using her beauty. I don't know if Qin Chun believed these rumors.
All along, Qin Chun had been very generous. She had never asked about his work and life. Giving him the greatest trust and tolerance. Completely different from the wives of other friends. Then he should not be stingy in giving Qin Chun explanations and promises.
"Don't worry. Since I promised you to be loyal to each other, I will definitely do it," he said seriously. "As long as you are still my wife, there can't be other women."
Qin Chun was helpless. "I really didn't... Okay. Let's not talk about these anymore. Let's eat."
She quickly took a few bites of rice. Then suddenly raised her head again. A bit surprised, she asked. "You... Do you still remember what we said when we first met?"
"Of course. I'm not seventy or eighty yet. Can I forget what I said?" Xiao Bingyang said with a reserved smile. "Now you're not jealous anymore, right?"
This was forcing her to be jealous.
Okay.
Qin Chun angrily called out. "Aunt Chen, bring me a plate of aged vinegar. I want to dip it and eat!"
