Nie Zhan arranged the company’s affairs and flew to Russia. Lu Jiaxin still went to work as usual, but now she’s the boss, enjoying a nine-to-five work schedule.
"Ring, ring, ring..."
The call was from Yu itong, wanting to invite her to dinner: "I called Sister Shing, she said she’s free."
Hu Zhifeng has fewer social obligations now and spends the extra ti with his child, so Zong Shing is much more relaxed than before. When invited, she almost always goes out.
"Sure."
This ti, the eting place was the Italian Restaurant, and Lu Jiaxin was the last to arrive. As she sat down, she heard Yu itong announce an important piece of news: "Sister Shing, Jiaxin, I’ve decided to start dating Tao Yong."
After a week of consideration, Yu itong decided to go ahead with dating.
Lu Jiaxin wasn’t surprised; she had previously noticed Yu itong was conflicted. Tao Yong is genuine, and as long as she lets go of her worries, they will be fine.
Zong Shing happily said, "Weren’t you feeling awkward before? How co it’s not awkward now that you’re together?"
Yu itong laughed and said, "Shi Xinyu and Fu Ye have each married and had children, so thinking about that makes it less awkward. Plus, Tao Yong promised that when we have children, we’ll raise them together, and he won’t just leave it all to ."
Lu Jiaxin and Zong Shing exchanged a glance, both showing confusion in their eyes.
Zong Shing said, "If you marry him, as a father, raising children is his responsibility and duty. Why does it sound like it’s such a great virtue in your tone?"
Lu Jiaxin thought deeper, "Sister itong, have the n in your family, including your father, never helped with raising kids from childhood?"
Yu itong nodded, "Yes, he never involved himself. Tao Yong ant that having children won’t delay my work, which relieves my biggest worry."
Zong Shing jokingly said, "You’re already falling for him this quickly?"
Yu itong shook her head and said, "No, I just feel he won’t lie to ."
Lu Jiaxin realized that it’s not about falling for him, but about trusting Tao Yong, believing his words. If it were another man, she’d surely scoff.
Lu Jiaxin raised her glass of red wine, smiling, "Co on, let’s toast to celebrate Sister itong’s being off the market."
With Yu itong’s trust in Tao Yong, unless sothing unexpected happens, they will definitely make it to the end. Hmm, they will likely marry before she and Nie Zhan do.
After dinner, they went shopping. While browsing a bag shop, Yu itong initially didn’t plan to buy anything, but hearing a bag she liked was at a 65% discount, she decisively purchased it.
Lu Jiaxin watched her pay eighteen thousand without batting an eye and couldn’t help smiling. Previously, she would carefully consider before buying a bag at this price, but now she buys it without hesitation, reflecting how one’s consumption can change with circumstances and environnt.
After shopping, Lu Jiaxin returned ho and found Nie Zhan sitting on the sofa. She rushed over and hugged him, "When did you co back? Why didn’t you call and tell ?"
Nie Zhan gave her a kiss and smiled, "What, you missed ?"
"I missed you, very much, especially today."
This sounded strange, so Nie Zhan asked, "Why especially today?"
The reason was simple; today she had eaten quite a bit of ’dog food’ unknowingly. Lu Jiaxin said, "itong agreed to be with Tao Yong and even said she trusts him. I think they’ll get engaged after the New Year."
Lu Jiaxin didn’t expect their progress to be faster than she had anticipated. A week later, Yu itong ca to see Lu Jiaxin, saying she would get engaged to Tao Yong on the 27th of the last month of the lunar year.
Yu itong said, "Getting engaged this year, and marrying next spring."
Lu Jiaxin reflexively looked at her tummy and asked, "Are you pregnant?"
Yu itong didn’t understand the question, "Pregnant?"
Lu Jiaxin didn’t speak, just looked at her and smiled.
Yu itong then realized, "No, I’m not pregnant. Although we’ve only been dating for a week, we’ve known each other for eight years, so we know each other well. His family is urging him to get married, and since we’re getting married anyway, why not do it sooner?"
Being in such a hurry to get engaged doesn’t impact her thoughts: "This is a quick engagent; are you sure you won’t regret it?"
She actually didn’t agree with getting engaged right after a crush. You don’t even know the other’s na and address, yet you’re adamant about marrying no one but him.
Yu itong didn’t hesitate this ti, saying, "There’s nothing to regret. If I find it isn’t right after marriage, then we can split up later."
Lu Jiaxin confird she wasn’t impulsively acting, laughing, "Looks like Sister Shing and I need to prepare your engagent gifts."
Yu itong didn’t think twice and said, "Jiaxin, I want the latest style of Paopao."
Lu Jiaxin was amused, "Alright, I’ll buy you the latest Hermès then. But you’re not planning to ask Sister Shing for a bag too, are you?"
"Whatever Sister Shing gifts , I’ll love it."
Seeing Nie Zhan was back, Yu itong found an excuse to leave. Nie Zhan thought her deanor was a bit strange and asked Jiaxin once they were inside.
Lu Jiaxin cheerfully said, "She ca to tell she’s getting engaged to Tao Yong on the 27th of the last month, and getting married next spring."
The wedding date isn’t set yet, so she didn’t ntion the specific ti.
Nie Zhan was shocked, "Really? Not joking?"
"Of course not, you can ask Tao Yong."
Nie Zhan actually called Tao Yong and confird it, then tossed out a response, "Jiaxin and I will only send one gift."
Lu Jiaxin couldn’t help but laugh at this, but she didn’t comfort Nie Zhan; instead, she went to the kitchen, washed so fruits, and brought them to him, "What, are you rushed because Tao Yong is marrying first?"
Nie Zhan said, "Since you’re not ready, I can’t force you; being anxious is useless. I just can’t understand how they got so well-matched."
Lu Jiaxin laughed so hard she nearly got a stomach ache, then deliberately said, "If Tao Yong knew, he might just stop being friends with you!"
"He’s counting on to be his best man; he wouldn’t dare!"
Lu Jiaxin was startled, "Tao Yong asked you to be his best man? Considering his looks, he’d be crazy to ask you."
"What do you an by that? Asking to be his best man is crazy?"
Lu Jiaxin held back her laughter and said, "Tao Yong isn’t particularly striking looks-wise, inviting such a handso man like you to be a best man would draw all the attention to you. You’ll overshadow him on what’s supposed to be his happiest day in life and beco the highlight of his engagent banquet."
Nie Zhan hadn’t thought about this, "Then I’ll cancel tomorrow and find soone who can make him look handso as a best man."
Lu Jiaxin laughed joyfully.
