Chapter Twenty-Three: The Intended Person's "Reward and Change"
PS: Thanks for the support, salute, claw.
……
The old people say that a marriage that does not have the blessing of both parents is a curse. Xiao Qiang didn't believe this before, but now Xiao Qiang believes it. Thinking of the situation between Ran Qing and her brother, Xiao Qiang shook her head helplessly.
Dispelling all kinds of thoughts in her heart, and after a little hesitation, Xiao Qiang glanced at the woman opposite again, who was not much different from her own age, but was extraordinary, and was slightly relieved.
In fact, in Xiao Qiang's opinion, her brother is definitely not worthy of the woman opposite, and even now Xiao Qiang doesn't understand why the two are walking together. Thinking of the price Ran Qing paid, even if that man was his brother, Xiao Qiang felt worthless for Ran Qing for no reason.
Gritting her teeth and hesitating again and again, Xiao Qiang secretly glanced at Ran Qing, and said tentatively: "Sister-in-law, it's been two years, and the past has passed." Back then, your family did not support your marriage to my brother, in the final analysis, it was also for your own good. ”
Although these words came out of the mouth of her sister, she was a little suspicious of pouring dirty water on her brother, but looking at the woman in front of her, Xiao Qiang really didn't want her to waste her good youth in this endless wait.
Ran Qing, who picked up the teacup again, was slightly flustered when he heard Xiao Qiang's words. At the same time, the memory that was not very long ago slightly appeared in Ran Qing's mind.
In fact, there are many things that Xiao Qiang and most outsiders don't know. As Xiao Qiang guessed, Ran Qing's marriage back then actually had a lot of puzzling points. Even now that Ran Qing thinks about it, he feels that marriage is more like a farce.
For Xiao Qiang's brother's feelings, in fact, it is very complicated in Ran Qing's heart, and it is more of a guilt.
Two years ago, Ran Qing, who had just graduated from military school, accidentally heard a sentence from his father. And the content of that sentence was actually preparing to arrange Ran Qing's marriage.
As a girl of this era, she definitely can't accept this kind of political marriage. At least in Ran Qing's view, this is a kind of marriage of political surnames. Therefore, Ran Qing, who had just graduated, made a hasty choice and escaped to the military region far away in Quancheng. And soon after coming to Quancheng, he was angry and casually chose a marriage partner.
And the object of marriage is Xiao Qiang's brother. For Xiao Qiang's brother, Ran Qing is at most limited to not being disgusted, and he is far from being able to reach the point of love. But out of anger back then, and just out of school, it was inevitable that his heart was much more impulsive. So Ran Qing directly and rashly chose this form of marriage.
In fact, according to normal circumstances, Ran Qing couldn't get married to Xiao Qiang's brother at all. Because military personnel get married, they need to submit a marriage report. But Ran Qing concealed his identity, so the marriage report submitted by Ran Qing was only treated as an ordinary application.
It is also for this reason that after learning about this incident, Ran Qing's father angrily cut off contact with Ran Qing directly.
At this time, hearing Xiao Qiang's words, all kinds of thoughts inevitably appeared in Ran Qing's heart. On the one hand, it is the guilt of Xiao Qiang's brother, and on the other hand, it is also the longing for his parents. In the final analysis, although Ran Qing doesn't say it, he really misses his parents.
In fact, Ran Qing knew that as long as he admitted his mistake to his father, this matter would be over. But because of the temper of the father and daughter, they are the kind of surnames that don't bow their heads. Even if the mother wanted to reconcile in the middle, it would be difficult to do so. Even in the past two years, every time my mother came to see her, she always took a sneak look. In fact, Ran Qing knows all this. Even without these, looking at the stars on his shoulders that increased on time, as well as the rapid promotion of administrative positions, how could Ran Qing not understand the Tao.
Shaking his head, dispelling all kinds of thoughts in his heart, he sighed inexplicably, as if he didn't want to discuss this issue with Xiao Qiang, raised his eyes slightly, glanced at Xiao Qiang, Ran Qing thought for a while, and there was a rare look of ridicule in his eyes: "Look at your appearance, do you have something on your mind?" How? Interested in someone? ”
His gaze was still on Ran Qing's cold, but difficult to hide her beautiful cheeks, and hearing such abrupt words, Xiao Qiang couldn't help but pause.
His face turned red instantly, and instinctively, Xiao Qiang wanted to deny Ran Qing's guess. can notice Ran Qing's playful gaze looking at her, Xiao Qiang couldn't help but feel a little weak. After a slight hesitation, Xiao Qiang unconsciously raised her eyes again to look at this woman who was deeply amazed by herself.
There is a hint of inner charm in the delicate face, although Xiao Qiang has never deliberately compared each other, but in fact, Xiao Qiang knows that the woman opposite is not inferior to herself in the slightest, and it can even be said that she is slightly better. If it weren't for the fact that he had a sultry figure, in the face of Ran Qing, a woman who exuded a natural coldness at this moment, but was full of inner charm at a glance and a smile, Xiao Wall would inevitably be a little depressed.
sighed slightly, swept away the temporary distraction in his heart, and turned his cheek sideways, Xiao Qiang's slightly complicated, confused gaze looked through a wooden window next to the tea house, looking at the pedestrians coming and going outside. When he was young, he turned his cheek back and glanced at Ran Qing, who was quietly drinking tea and did not urge himself to answer, Xiao Qiang thought about it for a while, and nodded slightly bitterly.
Although there was a slight guess in his heart, the moment he saw Xiao Qiang nodding, Ran Qing's right hand holding the teacup inevitably paused slightly. hooked the corners of his mouth, quietly looked at Xiao Wall, who could not hide a trace of lost soul in his eyes, Ran Qing gently put down the teacup in his hand, flipped a clean cup from the tea tray, slowly poured the fragrant tea, and gently pushed it in front of Xiao Qiang's eyes.
Although he didn't hear Ran Qing's urging or words of inquiry, when he came into contact with Ran Qing's gaze that was quietly looking at him, all kinds of thoughts that had just calmed down before inevitably emerged from Xiao Qiang's heart again.
Slowly raised his hand to pick up the teacup in front of him, sniffed the fragrance of tea in it, and took a small sip of slightly bitter but mixed with a hint of sweet tea, Xiao Qiang's eyes were a little unconscious again.
The quiet atmosphere unconsciously spread between the two beautiful women, looking at Xiao Qiang, who was slightly distracted, Ran Qing did not urge, but also slowly sent the small teacup in front of him to the side of his fragrant lips.
Unconsciously hooked the corners of her mouth, and after a hint of an unconcealable smile appeared on Xiao Qiang's cheeks, she saw Xiao Qiang shake her head gently, came back to her senses and raised her eyes lightly, staring at Xiang Ran Qing's pair of beautiful eyes that were almost seductive.
After a slight pause again, she pursed her lips lightly, and unconsciously chirped her lips, Xiao Qiang probably thought of something at this moment, and there was a trace of panic full of blush in her expression. Probably aware of the short-term gaffe, Xiao Qiang touched her somewhat hot cheeks, and after gently putting the teacup on the tea tray, her eyes lowered unconsciously.
Seeing Xiao Qiang's expression, Ran Qing didn't particularly care about it at first. But seeing the changes in Xiao Qiang's face one after another, even with Ran Qing's surname, she unconsciously raised her eyebrows. Slightly surprised, Ran Qing gently put down the teacup, his eyes were full of surprise, and he looked at Xiao Qiang's obviously slightly red cheeks at this time.
