Part Two: 'Grand Sugar of the East' Chapter 280: T
were husband and wife. The fact that he had acted first and then told her made her feel a little guilty.He looked at her with a darkened gaze and bit softly on her earlobe. "Yao Yao, are you already g...This long-awaited blind date blossomed into a relationship at lightning speed.
Jiang Mu hadn't asked her why she chose him either. He was probably just like her, equally confident. In his mind, given his qualifications, any intelligent woman would choose him.
After dinner, Jiang Mu asked, "What are your plans for the afternoon"
She truthfully replied, "I made an appointment with a real estate agent to see a house, and after that, I'll pick up the kids from school."
"Do you plan to develop in the capital city in the future" he asked.
"Well, that's the plan for now. We'll see how Han Zhao Yi adapts and go from there about returning to Senzhou."
Jiang Mu nodded. "Well, there's our largest branch in Senzhou. When the time comes, just visit me wherever I happen to be working."
Han Li's heart skipped a beat. She hadn't even adjusted to his identity as her boyfriend, and he was already thinking about their future Wasn't he getting into character a little too quickly
Faced with her unconcealable shock, Jiang Mu just smiled: "Get used to it slowly! Come on, I'll accompany you to see the house."
Han Li only realized later: "Didn't I fall into your trap"
This time, Jiang Mu's smile wasn't his usual subtle one. He was genuinely happy: "Too late to realize now!"
When it was too late, I just took her hand.
Can it be like this
This posture is premeditated, inevitable.
Hàn Lì was led by him towards the garage, feeling like a little girl. His hands had the masculine strength and warmth that Zhao Tíng Xíng lacked. They felt good, smooth and warm.
She had never held hands with a man, not even Zhao Tingxing, who she used to be close to. Zhao Tingxing was a chauvinist; even when they were young and deeply in love, he wouldn't stoop to holding her hand in public.
So, being led away so naturally by Jiang Mu, it wasn't false to say my heart skipped a beat. Turns out, love can be this way
The realtor took them to see a house that wasn't far from their home and was in a good school district. The location was great, but Han Li wasn't satisfied with the apartment complex or the layout. She worked in this industry, so her standards were high.
Han Li instructed the real estate agent to look for properties in two specific residential complexes. In reality, the best complex near Yi Jia's location was the same one Zhao Tingxing had purchased for Han Zhao'yi. However, she wished to avoid it, so she settled for other options, knowing that nothing is perfect.
In the evening, Jiang Mu accompanied her to pick up Han Zhaoyi from kindergarten again. Han Zhaoyi was outgoing and, thanks to the dog's connection, felt naturally close to him. As soon as he saw him, he called out: "Daddy Zhaocai, why didn't Zhaocai come"
Jiang Mu patted his head: "Bring it with you to pick you up next time."
After I accompanied them, the mother and son, to finish their meal and sent them back to the hotel, then I left.
In the evening, Hàn Lì recalled today's rapid progress and still felt a sense of unreality. He asked Yī Wén why she had introduced him to himself before.
Yvonne: "You're asking me now that the rice is already cooked Isn't it a little too late"
That's true, she has already made her choice, whether it is good or bad.
"Don't worry, I introduced you to a reliable person."
"Reliable Last time those two guys posted screenshots of our chat in their friend circle."
"They hid your avatar, didn't they It's because you sent them the same message at the same time that exposed it, right"
Han Li knew she was in the wrong and didn't continue the topic. However, she thought to herself, "Jiang Mu should have seen their social media posts, yet he still accepted me. Is he too generous or does he have unique taste Or maybe he thinks I'm a casual person who can be played around with"
She said she didn't care why he liked her, but when chatting with her girlfriends, she couldn't help but be curious.
"Just have some fun and don't bother looking for someone like you. There are plenty of younger and more adorable girls out there."
"That's true."
"Don't overthink it, when love comes, relax and enjoy the experience."
He also told me to relax, saying I was too tense.
"Huh This escalated so quickly" Iwen thought to herself.
"No."
"It's fine, we're all adults. It's just a normal relationship."
When talking about others, Yvonne always has a set of words, but when it comes to herself, she is stubborn and unwilling to listen.
"Hmm." Han Li hadn't thought about that because she didn't have such mental baggage. If the feeling was there and the atmosphere was right, everything would happen naturally, with no reason to refuse.
Jiang Mu currently respects her very much, besides holding her hand, there is no overstepping behavior. After she finished chatting with Ywen, she put down her phone and just lay down when Han Zhao beside her suddenly mumbled:
"Mommy, are you and Dad in love"
Hàn Lì's heart skipped a beat, but she answered truthfully, "Mm."
When answering, she was actually quite nervous inside. Dating a single girl was different from dating someone who had been in a relationship before; it would involve Han Zhaoyi's future life, and she hadn't asked for his opinion.
Just as I was about to ask him if he liked Jiang Mu, I heard him say again, “Then I can see Zhaocai every day from now on”
Korean chestnut...!!!
I envy his personality.
Just when Han Li thought he had fallen asleep, he burrowed closer into her arms and mumbled, "I haven't seen Zhao Ting in days."
Han Li hadn't paid attention to Zhao Tingxing these past few days. Besides running into him in the garage last night, she had also seen him once in the hotel lobby. He seemed drunk then, staggering as he walked. But Han Li didn't go up to help him, fearing unnecessary contact.
She would occasionally go to the construction site, but she wouldn't run into him. From snippets of conversation with the workers, she learned that he was busy socializing and expanding his business.
He will surely rise again, Han Li never doubted that.
——
Zhao Tingxing went to Senzhou early in the day. His business is mainly concentrated in Beijing and Senzhou now, so he often runs between the two cities.
Compared to the capital city, his business in Senzhou developed better. Firstly, Zhao's company already had a branch in Senzhou, and secondly, the commercial environment in Senzhou was more relaxed than the capital city, with fewer complex interpersonal relationships to deal with.
He came to Senzhou, besides developing the market, he would often go to Gu's Group to make things difficult for Gu Ruandong. After a busy day, as it neared quitting time, he sat openly in Gu Ruandong's office.
There's not the slightest feeling of being defeated, nor any awkwardness due to the current disparity in status.
"I'm pretty thick-skinned: "Since you beat me up so badly, shouldn't you treat me to a meal"
Gu Ruandong knew he didn't come uninvited, but he had no time in the evening as he needed to go home and spend time with his wife and children. So he said, "Lunch tomorrow"tainment industry with my looks, being a vase." 。Song Jingye was amused and said playfully, “Well, you’re very self-aware.” 。"So even if I can't remember, it doesn't matter anyway. After all, this...
