Xiao Jinghuan went to the pantry to pour water.

"What's the fuss?"

Xi Manli walked in, only to see Xiao Jinghuan distracted by the glass of pure water, and she didn't even know that someone was approaching.

"Nothing! Suffocation"

She smiled back: "Think about ...... things"

"What do you think, so distracted?"

Xi Manli also poured a glass of water.

"A nuisance. Hey, by the way, are you free at night? ”

"What?"

"Dinner, please. Thank you for sending me to the hospital that day, and for paying for my medical expenses and bringing me medicine. ”

If others treat her well, she will remember it with her heart.

"No, you don't."

"A must."

Seeing her so persistent, Xi Manli smiled:

"Okay, you do the east."

"Well, how about we go to the French restaurant? The one on xx road. ”

"Wow, go over there to eat...... Very expensive ......"

As soon as Xi Manli heard that, she was stunned:

"Isn't it too expensive?"

The cost of a meal over there may be two or three thousand, which is not something that the average salaried person can afford.

Xiao Jinghuan touched her nose, she didn't mean to show off, she just suddenly wanted to eat something there:

"Well, my brother seems to have entered the shares of the restaurant, and then, I have a VIP supreme card over there, which can be discounted, 6.8% off, and the important thing is that the taste is very good. My brother is picky, and it is precisely because the food cooked here is delicious that he invested in it. If you don't try it, you're guaranteed to regret it for the rest of your life. ”

In order not to regret it for the rest of her life, Xi Manli nodded.

After coming out, Xiao Jinghuan went to tell Jin Changning about his arrangements for the evening.

"How did you come up with the idea of having dinner with Xiao Xi?"

"I have to thank them for helping me so much last time, don't you? I'm the one who doesn't like to owe favors the most. ”

Although Jin Changning was a little dissatisfied, he still agreed:

"Bring Xiao Kwong on."

"Yes."

"When you're done eating, call me. I'll pick you up. ”

"Okay."

*

Xi Manli originally didn't like Xiao Jinghuan.

This is presumably because of same-sex repulsion.

Now, she gradually fell in love with this beautiful, generous, and intelligent girl.

Although she was born wealthy, she is not squeamish, and she may have some idleness, but her excellence is obvious to all.

Since that day, she helped Xiao Jinghuan, the estrangement between the two people has evaporated like that, and after that, the connection between them has become more and more relaxed.

Because, she has already seen it. Some people, you can only worship as if he is an idol, and it is a childish manifestation to resent those who are close to idols for the sake of this worship.

Before, she was a little naïve, but now, she has figured it out.

During the meal, Kwong Meiyun sat alone at a table, and Xi Manli and Xiao Jinghuan sat at a table.

Xi Manli is still very talkative, and she has a very good set of things at work, after the two of them chatted widely, Xi Manli hugged her chest, examined and asked:

"Inviting me to dinner today should be more than just thanking me...... It feels like you've got something on your mind......"

"It's not a matter of mind. It can only be regarded as a haunting! ”

Xiao Jinghuan put down the chopsticks and pondered for a while:

"I want to ask you a question."

"For the sake of you inviting me to such a delicious dinner, I must know everything, and I must have said everything."

Xi Manli smiled and agreed.

Xiao Jing raised the wine glass in his hand, organized the wording, and finally asked:

"What do you think of the social phenomenon of hidden marriage?"

"Hidden marriage?"

Xi Manli was stunned.

"Yes, hidden marriage, if two better people get married, for some personal reasons, they are not public

Tang announced the marriage, do you think, is it appropriate to do so? I watched that in the film and television industry, many movie stars have chosen to marry in secret. ”

Xiao Jinghuan implicitly mentioned this topic.

Xi Manli was not sure how the eldest lady came up with this question, but after thinking about it, she still answered:

"Originally, hiding one's marital status, or making one's marital status public, is a matter of personal will, not a big deal.

"There are agreements between husband and wife, and they all like to be low-key, for example, those celebrities, some of them are afraid of announcing their marriage, which will affect their popularity, and some are afraid that they will attract media attention, which will affect their lives. Choose to marry in secret, that's their right.

"However, I personally think that since we are together, we should announce this matter to everyone generously, and marriage is not an unsightly affair~.

"Don't you think that announcing that you are husband and wife is a kind of respect for each other?

"No matter who proposes this form of marriage, one party will propose it anyway. In my opinion, the one who brings it up has some invisible harm to the other side.

"If two people are rational and serious about getting married, then why should they let each other have a bad name? If you don't even want to give your name, how much love you have? How much more did you invest in this marriage?

"In my opinion, the party who is forced to conceal the marriage will definitely feel wronged."

Well, these words, every sentence, make sense.

Xiao Jinghuan nodded unconsciously.

So, why did she insist on a hidden marriage?

Hearing this, she secretly pondered for a moment.

Probably because I'm not sure!

Once it is made public, and in the end it is found that it is really inappropriate, and then talk about divorce, then in the eyes of the world, it will become an ex-wife and ex-husband, and it is impossible to return to the brother-sister relationship in the past.

She couldn't help but sigh: it turned out that lack of confidence was the main reason why she wanted to hide her marriage!

"Why did you mention this all of a sudden?"

Xi Manli's sudden question interrupted her musings.

"Oh, it's nothing, it's just a friend of mine, she is married, because she is greedy for fun, she doesn't want to hold a wedding, and she wants to play for a few years, but the family urges her so much, I think they are extremely irresponsible. As for me, I don't understand, I haven't thought about marriage yet...... You're older than me, so just ask...... I'll talk to her about what you said, and maybe I'll be able to enlighten her......"

Xiao Jinghuan continued to eat food, found a reason, and put this matter with herself cleanly.

After two bites, she thought about what she had been proposed to earlier:

"By the way, Sister Xi, that classmate Xu, you look very good, I look at you very well...... How's it going? Did you say yes, or did you refuse? ”

This kind of personal question, if she wants to put it away, she will definitely not ask, but recently, their relationship has been quite harmonious, and they happen to be talking about marriage, so it is natural to turn to this topic.

From her point of view, they were a good fit.

The man, judging by his personal clothes and his words when he proposed, was not bad.

Xi Manli smiled lightly and cut the beef on the plate:

"Oh, I haven't replied to him yet."

"Have you thought about how to reply?"

Xiao Jinghuan took a sip of red wine, saw the dinner knife in her hand, and then sighed lightly and continued:

"I haven't thought about it yet. I'm quite conflicted about this. Xiao Xiao, why don't I tell you what I think now, and you can help me analyze and analyze what I should do next......"

"Okay, you say."

Xiao Jinghuan agreed.

"Well, that's right, Xu Chen, my classmate in high school, has shown me favor before.

"It's just that at that time, I was so focused on my studies that I didn't think about falling in love. Later, he left the small county town with his parents and settled in Shanghai. However, after their family came to Shanghai, his parents divorced, and he followed his father.

"It is said that the mother cheated on him, and the father did not remarry after that. He makes a living by opening a haberdashery store. Now he is helping at home, and his salary is estimated to be only lower than mine. I didn't ask specifically. There's no way I'm going to ask about this kind of thing. You're right, when men and women are dating, it's taboo to ask about this kind of economic thing.

"Xiao Xiao, I won't tell you, what about me, I come from the bottom of the society, and my family background can't be more ordinary, originally, I was getting married

I shouldn't be so picky about things. If you meet someone who is loyal and honest, it's good to follow.

"But I have worked hard in Shanghai for so many years, especially after following Chairman Jin and Mr. Jin to so many places, for this kind of unremarkable family background...... It's a bit of a thing, how can I say it......"

She pondered for a moment, thinking about what kind of words she wanted to use to express it more tactfully and without losing connotation.

"It's not eye-catching, isn't it?"

Xiao Jinghuan helped her *** say it naked.

Xi Manli nodded when she listened, and smiled bitterly on her face: "Xiao Xiao, you are really direct. ”

Xiao Jinghuan grinned: "It's so direct, it's usually hated." It's so faceless. However, I have always been like this, either ignoring it or speaking directly. ”

"That's because you have the capital of pride. I see that you are not afraid of offending people at all. is like Qu Xiaoxuan in "Ode to Joy...... A sharp mouth, sometimes really poisonous......"

Xi Manli sighed softly. --- digression--- there is one more more.
