MY LOVING MARRIAGE - Season 22 Episode 25

Mu Tangchuan smiled but did not reply.

He was also a politician, so he knew these thoughts very well.

Not forgetting their original intention was a very difficult proposition for them, and they needed to spend a lifetime to solve it.

It was precisely because it was not easy, and they were both the same, that after going through so many trials and tribulations in this political arena, it seemed that they could empathize with each other a little.

“The revolution has yet to succeed, comrades still need to work hard. There’s still a long way to go.”

After a long while, Mu Tangchuan said this as he increased the speed of the car.

Hearing his words, Zhuang Shurong turned her head with some interest and looked at him silently..

It was undeniable that when she saw him today, Zhuang Shurong was very surprised.

Although she had heard of the legend of this man in school, she did not know that his family background was like this. Previously, she seemed to have heard that he also had a few part-time jobs. It was like the Hai Tian Nightclub, he had worked there before.

Tan Li had wanted to meet him by chance several times, but even if they had met, he had quickly moved past them, forget about brushing past each other.

She had also seen him from afar without any interactions. He did not seem to have changed much from before. Even though he had graduated a few years ago, his appearance was still as elegant and noble as before, handsome and peaceful, he did not have the air of a scion of an official family or a rich young master.

Zhuang Shurong admired him on this point.

When they reached the entrance of the court, Mu Tangchuan stopped the car. Zhuang Shurong also opened the door and got out of the car.

“Why don’t you go back first? I’ll catch the bus later. I don’t want to delay you for too long.”

Zhuang Shurong turned her head and looked at him in the car.

Mu Tangchuan raised his hand to look at the time on his wrist. It was almost five o’clock. After some thought, he replied, “It’s alright. You can go in and do your thing.”

Zhuang Shurong smiled faintly and turned around to walk into the solemn gatehouse.

Seeing Zhuang Shurong’s figure disappear into the gatehouse, Mu Tangchuan got out of the car.

He was not a person who was used to waiting. He had never waited for anyone before. However, he did not expect that this long wait would be for Zhuang Shurong.

More than two hours passed.

When the sun set in the horizon, the entire world darkened and the street lamps on the streets began to light up.

Zhuang Shurong was a person who easily lost track of time when she was busy. By the time she regained her senses, it was already dark outside. She thought that Mu Tangchuan had probably gone back as well.

At this moment, she had also packed her things and left the office in a hurry.

However, she had just walked out of the building when she saw the car still parked under the tree from afar.

Mu Tangchuan was leaning against the car door. He was smoking leisurely with a cigarette in his mouth.

“You… Why are you still here? I thought you had gone back!”

Zhuang Shurong looked at Mu Tangchuan, who was leaning against the door, in surprise. Her beautiful eyes widened, showing her surprise.

Only then did Mu Tangchuan put out his cigarette and threw it into the trash can. He said in a low voice, “I was just thinking, how long more do I have to wait?”

“I’m sorry, I didn’t know you were still waiting. I lost track of time when I got busy. It’s late now. How about this, I’ll treat you to dinner as an apology, okay?”

Zhuang Shurong’s beautiful face was naturally a little embarrassed. She could only say that now.

Mu Tangchuan also received Zhuang Shurong’s apology and smiled. “Don’t take it to heart. Since it’s getting late, I’ll take you to dinner first.”

“No, I’ll treat you…”

Zhuang Shurong felt embarrassed.

“It’s about the dignity of a man. I’ll never let a woman treat me to dinner when I’m with a woman.”

Mu Tangchuan gave her a sidelong glance with a smile on his face. He walked around the car and got into the car.

“Huh?”

Zhuang Shurong was still a little confused. After a while, she got into the car.

“What do you want to eat? Western food or Japanese cuisine?” Mu Tangchuan asked as he drove out.

“It’s up to you. I’m not picky,” Zhuang Shurong replied as well.

“Then let’s have grilled meat.”

Mu Tangchuan had always liked grilled meat. Just like Su Zhengxun and Zhou Zhenjun, they were all meat lovers. When the brothers gathered together, they would most likely grill meat.

“Okay.”

Zhuang Shurong would not tell him that she also liked grilled meat.

Soon, the two of them arrived at a relatively famous grill restaurant in the city center.

They each ordered some dishes that they liked. Soon, the dishes were served as well.

Mu Tangchuan naturally flipped the meat slices skillfully and put them into Zhuang Shurong’s bowl in a gentlemanly manner.

Zhuang Shurong thanked him first and did not stand on ceremony after that.

The two of them also ordered some fruit wine. The alcohol content was not high, so it was okay to drink a few glasses. It would not affect their driving.

“Have you been staying in City Z ever since you graduated?”

Zhuang Shurong asked a question.

“I was transferred to the county district for a period of time two years ago. Later, I was transferred back to City Z. The outside world is not as good as here. No matter what, I still think this place is better,” Mu Tangchuan replied calmly. As he spoke, he did not forget to put the grilled beef on the plate in front of her.

“Yes, of course. We are familiar with everything here. Our home is also here.”

Zhuang shurong smiled and said, “You should eat some too. The food here is pretty good. Do you come here often? It seems like the waiters know you.”

“Yes, I come here often with my friends.”

Mu Tangchuan replied as such.

…

The two of them ate and chatted. By the time they left, it was already close to nine o’clock at night.

Seeing that it was about time, Mu Tangchuan wanted to send Zhuang Shurong home. They had made an appointment that night to go to Su Zhengxun’s place to play a few rounds of billiards.

The car stopped in front of the Zhuang family’s grand and luxurious gate. Mu Tangchuan reached over and opened the car door for her.

Zhuang Shurong got out of the car swiftly. She nodded her head gratefully and said, “Thank you for today.”

“Don’t mention it. Alright, hurry up and go in.”

Mu Tangchuan pointed at the open gate and reminded her.

Zhuang Shurong nodded. “Alright, then you should go back earlier. Drive carefully on the road. I’ll thank you properly when I have time another day.”

As she said that, she waved and turned around to walk in.

Mu Tangchuan smiled and watched her figure slowly disappear into the door before he started the car and left.

Zhuang Shurong stood outside the balcony on the second floor and watched as the car slowly disappeared into the fog in front of her. After a long while, she took a deep breath.

“How was it? I told you Tangchuan was not bad, right?”

Before Zhuang Shurong could react, her mother’s voice came from behind her, giving her a fright.

“Mother! Why didn’t you knock before coming in?”

Zhuang Shurong frowned.
