Chapter 204: It Doesn't Matter If You Don't Love It
When I woke up the next day, I looked at Mia, and I was no longer entangled, but I still wanted to ask him something.
So I took out the phone, and before I could dial the number, Qiao Chenfeng's phone called.
Seeing this, I didn't have anything to worry about, so I simply picked it up.
In addition to asking me if I was well rested, there was another thing that was particularly important, and he said that it was at least a very important thing for him.
It turned out that there was a special gathering here at the Uganda Chinese Business Trade and Economic Association, and almost all Chinese entrepreneurs would attend, and everyone brought their families to go, and he said that he had no family at all, and there was no one else here except me, so he wanted to invite me to accompany him to participate.
In the past two years, I have hardly attended such a public occasion, although I often attended it two years ago, but this kind of thing has been unfamiliar for a long time, and I am still afraid that I will not be able to do it, so I refused him: "I have said that I want to bring my family, so it's not good for me to go rashly." β
Qiao Chenfeng snorted a little lightly: "Doctor He, the two-year deadline is up today, I have been running with you for two years for fear that you will be abducted by others, you have already seen my family again, there are some things you have to say and do, you have to be a good example for Mia." β
When I heard this, I suddenly remembered the conversation I had with him on the plane two years ago.
Time flies really fast, although none of us have mentioned those words in the past two years, but I didn't expect him to remember it so clearly.
He has been busy setting up his own business, almost all of his time has been devoted to work in the past two years, and I am also going back and forth to several countries, I thought he was because the scale of the enterprise was bigger, so he followed my various countries to expand business, now I think about it, he is afraid that I will run away...
Well, I'm not a villain, a gentleman, you have to talk about anything
Who told me to feel a lot of emotion when I saw Qiao Chenfeng running to Africa for me, and I made such a promise as soon as my brain was hot, and it was difficult to take it back.
I finally know what it means to lift a stone and hit myself in the foot, this kick is really painful, I have been dodging for so many years, since I have chosen the path, even if I am on crutches, I have to go down, and I have decided to give Mia a father.
I looked at him helplessly: "Okay, I'll go with you, but I'll also take Mia with me." β
Qiao Chenfeng raised the corners of his mouth: "Well, this will be more like a family." β
Almost all of the people who went to the party were powerful Chinese companies in Uganda, and when I think about how many years I have only cared about running around in poor and medically underdeveloped areas, I feel that the whole person is not as refined as before.
When he went to the party, he dressed himself up well, after all, Qiao Chenfeng's business is thriving, and he can be regarded as a powerful entrepreneur with a head and face, so he can't embarrass him, so he looked in the mirror a few times before going out for fear that something would be wrong.
Fortunately, although the scorching African sun tanned me a lot, fortunately, I was naturally beautiful, and after I put on exquisite makeup, I led Mia and Qiao Chenfeng straight to the banquet venue.
I don't know any of Qiao Chenfeng's business friends in the past two years, although I invested all my money in him, but I never asked him what he did, all I know is that his business has become big and has an important position in the circle of Chinese enterprises in Africa.
At the banquet, many women also found Qiao Chenfeng to toast, and even wanted to invite him to dance, but he refused one by one.
Seeing this picture, I didn't forget to tease him: "The woman just now is young and beautiful, a female entrepreneur, who is a good match for you, is not considered?" β
Qiao Chenfeng was a little angry when he heard this, but I knew that he was never really angry with me.
He glanced at me, and then said helplessly: "People are young, but it's a pity that I have been middle-aged by a woman who has been delayed, except for you, no one wants me as an old man." β
Naturally, I shook off his hand a little unhappily: "I'm already disgusted with my old age now, so what will I pay back in the future?" β
"So you're so old, why don't you hurry up and throw yourself into my arms and marry me."
"IβWhen did I say I was going to marry you?"
At this time, Mia suddenly let go of my hand, looked at Qiao Chenfeng with open arms, he leaned over and hugged Mia with a chuckle, but Mia snuggled in Qiao Chenfeng's arms, and the two of them looked like father and daughter.
"Mia can't wait for her mother to marry me?" He hugged Mia as if it was in great pain.
β¦β¦
At the beginning of the banquet, I didn't expect that today's protagonist was Qiao Chenfeng, he was not only the vice president of the Chamber of Commerce to make a speech, but the most important thing was that he said that he had something to announce.
Curious, I felt a little uneasy in my heart.
Because he is dressed very solemnly today, as if he is attending an important banquet in his life.
Dressed in a delicate and straight suit, with a neat and neat plank, the whole person appeared energetically and heroically, which almost flashed my eyes.
This meeting is enough to see that Qiao Chenfeng's enterprise is doing quite well, the banquet of the Chamber of Commerce is quite magnificent, and the entrepreneurs who come here are all first-class Chinese in various industries in Uganda.
I don't know what Qiao Chenfeng is thinking, after finishing his words, he suddenly called his secretary and gave him a delicate box.
After the audience fell silent, I finally heard him look at me with the microphone, and his eyes were full of determination: "I am going to propose to my fiancΓ©e, Ms. He Anning, at this banquet today, I want her to be my official wife, I hope you can give me some courage and encouragement." β
Propose?
I never knew I would ever be proposed.
I looked at him in a daze, and before I could react, he stepped down from the stage, stood in front of me, and took me into his arms.
He whispered softly in my ear: "The two-year period was given to me by you, and now that it has arrived, I won't let go of anything this time." β
After speaking, he took out a ring from the delicate box and looked at me with lowered eyes: "He Anning, marry me this time." β
After a long while, Xu is face was not very good, Qiao Chenfeng reached out and touched my face and asked softly, "What's wrong, is there something uncomfortable?" β
In front of so many people, I didn't accept it, but I didn't expect the proposal to come so suddenly, as suddenly as I went to his parents' house that time, which caught me a little off guard.
I've agreed to marry him, but he always gives me the feeling that you're chasing me, like someone has been emotionally kidnapped, and this feeling always makes me feel a little uncomfortable.
I had no choice but to smile wryly and shake my head: "No, I'm nothing, it's just that your proposal was very sudden, which surprised me a little." β
With the same smile as before, he grabbed my hand, took the ring into his ring finger, and said solemnly in front of me: "If you don't refuse my ring, it proves that you have agreed." β
After saying that, he kissed me on the forehead, and I didn't leave for a long time, until there was a warm applause at the scene.
Once again, he held me in his arms in full view, and I was a little overwhelmed by his proposal, my hands dangling in the air, confused, and finally fell to the sides of my body.
After the applause was over, many people here already began to coax: "Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss." β
It's really the true color of the Chinese people, I like to coax, just when Qiao Chenfeng put his head close to me, the dodge in my eyes was still exposed in front of him.
He kissed me directly on the side of the cheek, and then looked at everyone with a bright smile: "My fiancΓ©e is very shy, don't embarrass her, let's hide in our own home and kiss." β
When Qiao Chenfeng picked up Mia and held me with his other hand, I felt like I had just woken up from a dream.
At the moment, the three of us look like the perfect family in the eyes of others.
Now that I have agreed to get married, there are still many unanswered questions in my heart that I want to ask him.
I looked at him, his expression was almost so serious that he couldn't be more serious, and finally I asked with entanglement and hesitation: "I don't want to lie to people, let alone lie to you, you know where my heart is, and you also know that I don't forget someone so quickly, even if I promise to marry you now, does it really matter if I don't love you?" β
It's a question I've always wanted to ask him, and that's why I've been avoiding it.
Qiao Chenfeng grabbed my hand and suddenly tightened, I know how much harm this question may cause, but in the face of marriage, I have to ask, after all, the emotional foundation is the inevitable to maintain a marriage.
I was not allowed to think too much at all, Qiao Chenfeng replied to me very firmly: "It doesn't matter, as long as I am sure that you are by my side, as long as you marry me, it will be sooner or later that person will come out of your heart, and you will slowly fall in love with me." β
I lowered my eyes and didn't dare to look at him, because I could clearly see that kind of hope in his eyes, which belonged to many years of longing.
"Then it doesn't matter if my body can't give birth to children? I remember my aunt clearly expressing her desire for a grandson that day. In the end, I couldn't hold back and said the second question I wanted to ask.
Seeing his expression, I knew that he would not change his mind, he put down Mia and took me into his arms, I could even hear and feel his choking: "I don't care about this, we have Mia, everything else will take its course, I don't care if I have biological children, even if my mother asks, I have a way to prevaricate." β
What else do I have to think about, Qiao Chenfeng has said this, and it would be hypocritical to refuse again.
I'm not stupid, and I'm not blind to anything, I'm clear about Qiao Chenfeng's love for me over the years.
Maybe on the plane two years ago, I should have clearly known that this man and I would probably be together for the rest of our lives.
"I've never forced you in so many years, but at this moment I want to kiss you." He said it so sincerely, I felt that I had gone too far over the years.
is about to get married, what else is there to be reserved, thinking about it like this, I nodded, which can be regarded as giving him a shot in the arm.
After that, when I saw that Qiao Chenfeng's lips were about to fall on my lips, my body still reacted instinctively, I still stepped back slightly, glanced over, and he was still disappointed after all.
There was a silence between us.
After a long time, I said "I'm sorry" apologetically, and he didn't say anything, just smiled.
