CHAPTER XXIX
At seven o'clock in the morning, the mobile phone alarm rang, late autumn reached out and pressed it, got up to make coffee, and when I walked to the living room window, I saw that the morning sun had begun to gradually rise, and it was a new day.
She washed her face, a cup of black coffee in her stomach, her thoughts were clear and calm, she didn't plan to fall in love at this time, she had only one goal at this stage, that is, to get the studio on track as soon as possible, and then get out of the shackles of the family, and let the birds fly, but last night, she couldn't control herself.
Xu Hui's impact on her in a short period of time was too turbulent, such a person standing on a high place, his enthusiasm, vision, connections and innate elegance and warmth, everything was better than the temptation of simple drunkenness, and he always seemed to be able to properly grasp his inner emotions, so that when she was with him, she felt every cell in her body burning, restless and restless in such a midsummer night.
All this came too suddenly, and late autumn also felt the helplessness of her rhythm being disrupted, of course, she was unwilling to immerse herself in love and gave up what she had been pursuing, but her heart couldn't extricate herself from sinking deeper and deeper.
"Drinking coffee in the morning without eating anything is not good for the stomach at all. When Ms. Luo came out of the bedroom, she saw Wanqiu standing by the window with a coffee cup in a daze, and she spoke disapprovingly.
Wanqiu didn't seem to hear it, and didn't respond to her, just turned around and put the cup on the kitchen countertop, and then went back to the room, Ms. Luo saw it but thought she was in a bad mood, and thought of the party she and Xu Hui attended last night, secretly screaming that it was not good, thinking that the two had some contradictions, and wanted to follow up and ask, but seeing Wanqiu's gloomy face just now, she had to sigh, temporarily pressed the anxiety in her heart, and went into the kitchen to make breakfast.
After going out in late autumn after breakfast, Ms. Luo hurriedly dialed Aunt Zhang's phone, asked her if she knew the attitude and reaction of Xu Hui's parents, and expressed her concerns.
"Oh, children's things, that's how they are, it's normal to have a little fight, so don't worry too much. Aunt Zhang comforted her.
"I think Xu Hui's conditions are quite suitable, I'm afraid it's a pity that she misses it, she was fine last night, so something is wrong this morning. Ms. Luo was very anxious, originally thought that her daughter was one in ten thousand, and there were many young talents waiting for her to choose, but she really began to practice and knew that it was so easy to find a man who was suitable in all aspects, no wonder there were so many older leftover women now, and there were several in their unit, and the more she thought about it, the more frightened she became.
"Okay, don't worry about it there, it's really not like this, I'll be the middleman, I'll ask you and Xu Hui and his mother out first, and you can talk about it first. Ms. Zhang remembered that Mother Xu had asked about the situation in late autumn several times anyway, so it was better to let them meet first.
At this time, Ms. Luo didn't care about anything, and the most important thing was to be able to handle the affairs of these two children well, so she hurriedly agreed.
As soon as she arrived at the studio in late autumn, she received a message from Xu Hui, asking her if she had time to eat together at night, and she couldn't help but raise a smile on her face and replied to him.
"Sister Wanqiu, why are you so happy? Xiao Tang saw the sweetness of late autumn's smile and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"No, nothing, just talking to a friend. Late Autumn reacted, put away the smile on her face, put her phone in her bag, and walked into the bar to start the day's work.
At this time, she didn't see it, Doudou who was sitting on the sofa also withdrew the gaze that had been staring at her just now, and a trace of helpless bitterness flashed on his face.
Late autumn and Xu Hui's love affair developed rapidly, after a night in the hotel garden, everything became smooth and chaptered, occasionally he finished work in the middle of the night, would ask her if she slept, if not, would take her to the far suburbs to eat a bowl of sashimi porridge, he was delicate, always gave her all kinds of gadgets, sometimes it was a craftsman's handiwork that was about to be lost, sometimes it was a random album of retired painters, sometimes it was just a moving story that I heard back from somewhere, or I was impatient to share interesting ideas with her, luxury watches and bags or something would also be available, but none of them were as unique and varied, and more of her appetiteγ
Late autumn often feels a little incredible, feeling that he knows himself too well, and he understands it so much that she is shocked, but the actions made by such an understanding make her feel extremely sweet and intimate, she doesn't have to take the initiative to say anything, Xu Hui can always understand what she wants, and will give it to her at the right time, which makes her surprised and ecstatic, so when Ms. Luo asked to see Xu Hui again, she didn't make an excuse to refuse, and the parents of both sides quickly chose the time and place to meet.
In the courtyard room, Ms. Luo, Zheng's father and Xu Hui's parents sat down, both sides saw satisfaction from each other's eyes, Ms. Luo looked at Xu Hui's tall and charming appearance, and couldn't help but look more and more satisfied, she smiled and said to Xu Hui, "I heard that you are starting your own business, and the company's development is impressive, but you are really capable." β
"Where, everyone praised it. Xu Hui modestly waved his hand and said, "I need to work harder." β
Father Zheng saw him so polite, and there was a little appreciation in his eyes, and he said to Father Xu with a smile: "Mr. Xu is really good at teaching his son, in our generation, there are not many people who can teach children so well." β
Father Xu hurriedly waved his hand when he heard this, "Where is it, you also teach very well in late autumn, you are knowledgeable, well-behaved and sensible." β
For a while, everyone began to compliment each other at the dinner, the atmosphere was very harmonious, Xu Hui turned his head to Wanqiu and made an unbearable grimace, and privately reached over to pinch her hand, Wanqiu struggled to quietly shake him off, and threw a coquettish look at him, Xu Hui suddenly felt itchy when he saw it.
"I see, since these two children are so compatible, let's just discuss a time to get married to them. Taking advantage of the good atmosphere, Mother Xu suddenly mentioned it after a tacit glance at Ms. Luo.
The dinner table suddenly fell silent, and Father Zheng groaned for a while and looked at Wanqiu, but saw that her face turned pale, and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, he was stunned for a moment, and he didn't take the conversation immediately.
"That's good, let's find a time to discuss it. Ms. Luo broke the silence with a smile, a little dissatisfied with Zheng's father's reaction, but it was not easy to show it at this time.
Obviously, Xu Hui also noticed that something was wrong in the late autumn, he didn't say anything, the smile on his face became reluctant, and he only listened to Xu's mother and Ms. Luo discussing the question of where the marriage room was located with great interest.
After eating, Xu Hui said goodbye to his parents under the pretext of taking Wanqiu to the movies, and drove her away, Wanqiu also knew in her heart that her reaction just now was seen by Xu Hui, and she did not refuse, and was mentally ready to talk to him.
Xu Hui drove the car into a tree-lined fork in the road not far away, where few people or cars passed by, which was a good way to ensure that the conversation between the two would not be disturbed.
"Late Qiu, are you unwilling to marry me?" Xu Hui said a little depressed, he could clearly feel Late Qiu's affection for him during this time, so her reaction tonight was really surprising to him.
"Don't be angry, I just don't want my family to get married, how long have we been together? They are busy planning our marriage, it feels like I have to go on according to her wishes, and get married for her, I don't like this, the marriage I want is a natural occurrence, a natural choice after the love is strong. Wanqiu explained with difficulty, just at the dinner table, Ms. Luo's self-assertion reminded her of all kinds of unpleasantness in the past again, and the resistance in her heart surged up uncontrollably, she didn't expect to cause such harm to Xu Hui.
"Are you not confident in our feelings?" Xu Hui was silent for a while before speaking.
"Of course not, I want to choose our own when we get married, not the choice of my family. Late Autumn said anxiously after hearing this.
After hearing this, Xu Hui breathed a sigh of relief, but was a little surprised by Wanqiu's resistance and rejection of her mother, he gently took her into his arms and stroked her hair lovingly, "As long as you don't want to be with me, you don't know how much I care about you." β
Wanqiu leaned on his shoulder and said softly, "Let's not always follow their wishes, let's make our own decisions about marriage." β
A trace of complicated emotions flashed in Xu Hui's eyes, he sighed, hugged Wanqiu tighter, and muttered, "Okay, okay, whatever you say is what you say." β
When she returned home in late autumn, Ms. Luo was excitedly counting how many people she would invite to the wedding banquet, Zheng's father sat aside and flipped through the newspaper, and did not express any of his opinions, and in late autumn, she stood in the living room and looked at Ms. Luo for two seconds, and countless pictures flashed in her mind, all of which were the scenes that Ms. Luo had decided for her before, she felt that the anger in her heart was about to be uncontrollable, and she took a deep breath and sat in front of Ms. Luo, "Mom, I don't want to get married so early." β
"You kid, what are you talking nonsense, people like Xu Hui don't know how sought-after, you have to settle down quickly," Ms. Luo glanced at Wanqiu after hearing this, and said angrily: "Besides, girls should get married early and give birth to children early, so as not to drag their age older, which is not good for their health." β
"Mom, I said, I don't want to get married so early, you don't have to make your own decisions here, marriage is my knot or not yours, it's none of your business. I didn't expect that in addition to wanting to arrange her own marriage, she also wanted to arrange the matter of having a child together, and Wanqiu suddenly spoke loudly and irritably, and confronted Ms. Luo head-on for the first time.
Ms. Luo looked at her in surprise, she sat there and couldn't move, she didn't expect that Wanqiu would be so angry with herself tonight, did she do anything wrong? Obviously, she was thinking about her and for her good, but now she was treated like this by her daughter, her heart was sour, her eyes were hot, Huo De stood up, walked into the room without saying a word and closed the door vigorously.
"Late Autumn, you have gone too far!" Father Zheng put down the newspaper, sighed, glanced at Late Autumn reproachfully, and then stood up and walked to the room.
Sitting on the sofa in late autumn, she didn't expect the first dispute with Ms. Luo to break out so soon, her original plan was not like this, but after hearing the conversation between Ms. Luo and Xu's mother, she suddenly panicked, she came back obviously to get rid of their shackles on her, but she didn't expect to meet Xu Hui, nor did she expect that she would fall in love with him so quickly, let alone that they would start preparing to arrange the rest of her life so soon.
This made her lose her mind, if she continued to follow their arrangement, what was the use of everything she had done for so long? Isn't her own effort a joke? She rubbed her brow with a headache, leaned back on the sofa, and exhaustion swept over her body in an instant.
