MY LOVING MARRIAGE - Season 21 Episode 79

After saying this, Leng Xinran paused and looked up at him in surprise. Her gaze was meaningful.

“You don’t like me.”

Leng Xinran calmly stated this fact and leaned back in her chair.

“You don’t like me either, do you?”

Lan Xiu smiled, “In fact, in the past few months, I feel that apart from not having any feelings for each other, we are very compatible with each other in other aspects. If our marriage can bring our companies to a higher level, I think it’s not unacceptable.”

“No,” Leng Xinran said calmly.

“Are you going back on your words now?” Lan Xiu asked in surprise.

“You are not a person who is suitable to sacrifice marriage for the sake of benefits. In fact, even if we don’t form a marriage alliance, we can still achieve a win-win situation. A cold marriage is not suitable for you. Lan Xiu, you are a good person. I actually admire you, but…”

“Are you afraid that I will become the fourth?”

Lan Xiu saw the darkness in her eyes and immediately cut her off.

Leng Xinran paused, raised her eyebrows and looked at him indifferently.

“Do you really believe in those?”

“I don’t want to believe it, but the facts have made me unable to defend myself. I can’t even convince myself.”

“You are also very clear about my situation. According to what you said, Am I not the same?”

Lan Xiu smiled.

Leng Xinran was silent…

“Let’s get engaged, Xinran. It’s been half a year. I’ve thought about it for a long time. This decision is the best for both of us. The Leng family isn’t that peaceful either. Otherwise, your father wouldn’t have made this request to me in the first place. After getting engaged, many things will be much easier to handle. In the coming time, we can spend more time getting to know each other. After one or two years, if we really don’t have any feelings for each other, then our engagement will be canceled. If we… then we’ll get married.”

Lan Xiu thought for a moment and gave her a very decisive suggestion.

“Two years is enough for our respective companies to stabilize. Don’t worry, I will do my part.”

…

Leng Xinran did not immediately agree to Lan Xiu’s suggestion. Instead, she changed the topic.

Lan Xiu could see her worries and did not force her. He chatted with her about the company before leaving. Leng Xinran sent him out.

“Let’s go back. It’s a bit cold outside.”

When they walked out of the door, Lan Xiu had already stopped her.

“Be careful on the road.”

“Think about my suggestion. We shouldn’t be people who believe in fate. Now, there’s nothing we can’t afford to lose.”

A smile appeared on Lan Xiu’s face, but there was a hint of desolation and loneliness in that smile. As he spoke, he looked at her again. “It’s just an engagement. I’m not afraid. What are you afraid of?”

A meaningful smile appeared on his face, and Leng Xinran could vaguely feel a hint of warmth from that smile.

“I’ll consider it.”

“Alright, I’ll give you some time. Believe me, you need help too. If I feel tired, you’ll feel the same way.”

…

Leng Mingyi’s illness was under control, and his condition was very stable. Leng Xinran would visit him at the hospital every day. Of course, recently, Leng Mingyi’s assistant had gradually helped him to familiarize himself with the Leng Group’s business.

The Leng Group had been having problems with the cash flow for the past few years. The reason why Leng Mingyi wanted to work with Lan Xiu this time was largely because of this, of course, the most important point was that the company needed to rely on the Lan Group’s financial assistance to make a reasonable transformation. Lan Xiu did not lack funds but lacked technology. It would be best if the two of them could work together.

The weather in the middle of summer was already a little stuffy, and the sky was not dark that quickly.

Leng Xinran gave her instructions, and then began to quietly burn the books she had been reading all these years.

The flames in the bonfire made her face slightly red. She sat by the side and tore off the other notebook in her hand, one by one, and let the fire close in. She watched as the flames engulfed the papers.

Qin Su stood beside her. Seeing her calm face, he thought for a moment and asked, “If you don’t want to burn them, then don’t.”

“Cleaning it up can be considered to be a relief. I stayed here for many years. Originally, I just wanted some peace. Now that I really have to leave, I feel like something is missing,” Leng Xinran replied nonchalantly.

Qin Su naturally understood how she felt. Was this not how she felt when she first left the army and transferred to the procuratorate?

Now that she had endured it, she was used to it. There was nothing bad about staying in the office.

“You’re just like me. Sometimes you’re a little stubborn. That makes us feel like it’s tough. You don’t have a better life than me. I had a smooth journey, but you have a hard life.”

Qin Su’s heart ached as she spoke, “Are you really planning to go back?”

“Do you think I’m in the mood to joke with you now?”

Leng Xinran glanced at her leisurely, “Don’t you need to go to work today?”

“It’s Saturday. You’re so busy that you’ve lost track of time.”

Qin Su also glanced at her, “I came here to ask you out. Fortunately, I came at the right time. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to find you if I came tomorrow.”

“You can look for me at the company. I’ll be going to work in a few days.”

“I heard that you’ve been taking classes recently?”

“Regarding management, besides needing experience, systematic learning is still necessary. You know my previous major very well. If I want to learn it as soon as possible, I’ll have to make time to accumulate it.”

After Leng Xinran said this, Qin Su’s eyes were filled with joy, “You are still as pragmatic as before. I naturally don’t understand these things in the business world, so I can’t give you any advice.”

“You just have to be your prosecutor. How can you worry about my matters? Let’s go and have dinner together.”

After throwing the last few pages into the fire, Leng Xinran slowly stood up.

“That’s exactly what I was thinking. Let’s go.”

Qin Su responded and the two of them left together.

Qin Su went straight to the restaurant they booked with Zhou Zimo’s diamond card. However, to their surprise, when they found the reserved seats, Zhou Zimo was waiting for them.

“Why are you here?”

Qin Su looked at Zhou Zimo in surprise.

Zhou Zimo nodded and smiled, “I’m here to pay the bill. Have a seat, have a seat!”

Zhou Zimo stood up like a gentleman and pulled out the chairs for the two of them.
