Come, sit down and have breakfast together. "

"Thank you auntie." Zeng Zeping said with a smile.

"Why are you being so polite?" Mother Zhuo also smiled. She has always been very satisfied with this future son-in-law. She is capable and polite, but also gentle. She is too good to Hua Min. No mother would not like such a person as her son-in-law. She also feels for her daughter. Lucky.

"By the way, Mom, Zeping and I have decided to get engaged before the end of the year. You can discuss with your aunt and help us choose a date." Zhuo Huamin said at this time.

"Why do you want to get engaged first, if you don't get married?" Father Zhuo said as he put down the newspaper.

"My studies are not over yet. If I get married so early, I won't be able to be a good wife and mother at home." Zhuo Huamin glanced at Zeng Zeping and said with a smile.

Zeng Zeping looked at her and smiled, "It doesn't matter to me, I can do housework too, but—" His eyes were gentle, "Since Minmin insists, I will naturally follow her."

"Congratulations," Zhuo Xiuning said to Zeng Zeping and Zhuo Huamin with a smile.

"Brother, what are you going to give us?" Zhuo Huamin asked with a smile.

"What do you want?" Zhuo Xiuning asked her with a smile.

"Don't be too extravagant, after all, it's just an engagement." Zeng Zeping said aside.

"Engagement is also very important. Besides, I'm his only sister." Zhuo Huamin said reluctantly, then turned to Zhuo Xiuning and asked, "Right, brother?"

Zhuo Xiuning smiled, "Whatever you want, just say it."

"You are the biggest." Zeng Zeping shook his head and looked at her with a smile.

Zhuo Huamin laughed and fell into Zeng Zeping's arms.

"Xuning, your sister's engagement is a big deal, you have to help a little bit." Zhuo's father said.

"I will." Zhuo Xiuning nodded.

Although it was just an engagement, it was no longer single after all, so everyone held a reception for Zeng Zeping to bid farewell to being single, and the venue was still Sister Cen's bar.

"Why hasn't Xiuning arrived yet?" Seeing that it was past eight o'clock, Zeng Zeping came to the bar and asked Sister Cen.

"He said that an operation would be late." Sister Cen handed him a glass of wine, then smiled at Zeng Zeping and asked, "I'm about to get engaged, how do you feel?"

Zeng Ze smiled lightly, his smile gave people a very warm feeling, "It's a bit incredible, because I know Minmin."

Sister Cen stared at him, and after a long time, she sighed and lowered her eyes and said, "Zeping, you are a good man."

Zeng Zeping looked at her and felt that there was something in her words, so he couldn't help asking, "Sister Cen, why do you say that?"

Sister Cen's eyes flickered for a while, as if Y_u stopped talking, then she smiled and said, "Just look at Xiaomin, you can see her happy face."

Zeng Zeping laughed.

Sister Cen looked at him but thought of Xiuning, he and Xiuning were different men, but no matter how you looked at them, they were both very masculine, but they were more peaceful and gentle, and Xiuning now has an air of indifference. But either way, it is very attractive to women.

Suddenly there was a pleasant wind chime, and the two turned their heads to see that the person entering the door was Zhuo Xiuning.

"Sorry, I'm late." Zhuo Xiuning greeted with a smile.

"It's not good for the protagonist to wait for you." Sister Cen said with a smile.

"Sorry." Zhuo Xiuning looked at Zeng Zeping and said it again.

"Sit down, let's have a drink." Of course Zeng Zeping wouldn't mind, just said.

Zhuo Xiuning nodded and sat down beside him.

Sister Cen took out a bottle of wine from the cabinet, poured a glass for Zhuo Xiuning, and then her eyes stayed on the two of them for a while before walking away.

"There is another operation today?" Zeng Zeping lightly touched Zhuo Xiuning's cup and made a crisp sound. Zhuo Xiuning shook the cup and drank all the wine.

"Don't drink like this." Zeng Zeping frowned slightly, and held out his hand to hold the cup.

Zhuo Xiuning turned to look at him and smiled, and said, "Congratulations, I finally see that you and my sister have a result."

Zeng Zeping looked at him with a serious expression, "Seriously, I should thank you."

"Thank you." Zhuo Xiuning lowered his eyes and looked at the liquid in the cup.

"Xuning—" Zeng Zeping stared at Zhuo Xiuning at this time, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.

He always felt that the longer he knew him, the more he changed, and he couldn't tell the exact reason. Maybe both of them gradually had their own careers, their life circles were slowly changing, and they met less frequently because of work and love relationships. Many, recalling the days when we played basketball together and laughed together like crazy in middle school, I always felt that it was a long way off, but Xiuning's dazzling smile has disappeared today, and Zeng Zeping would occasionally be stunned when he looked at him. In the end, it can only be attributed to growing up.

"Today you are the protagonist, let's go over there, and they will read it again when we can." Zhuo Xiuning smiled lightly and pulled Zeng Zeping up.

"You guys play first, I'm leaving." Sister Cen came over and threw the keys in her hand to a man sitting in the innermost position of the sofa, and said to everyone with a smile.

"Sister Cen left so early?" said one of the people present.

"That's right, sit down and have a few drinks with us." Another person joked.

"Women have more things to do. Who wants to accompany you drunkards, of course, except Xiuning Zeping." Sister Cen still smiled.

"Why except them?" Some people were not happy.

"Could it be that who among you can drink more than Zeping and Xiuning?"

"They're human too, and they'll always get drunk." The man insisted.

The man who got the key stood up at this moment, and with his back to the light, people couldn't see him clearly, only to hear him say in a low voice, "I'll see you off."

Sister Cen glanced at him and nodded.

Looking at the backs of the two of them, someone suddenly said, "I really don't know why they are not together. They have been boyfriend and girlfriend for several years. Who knew that Pei married another woman in the end, which is really shocking."

"Although I know that Sister Cen doesn't like being bound by marriage, what she does is absolutely amazing."

"Yeah, if you say you break up, you break up, but Pei has nothing to say, but looking at the appearance of these two people now, I feel that they are still the same as before, and there is no difference."

"So, the poorest person is Pei's wife?"

A group of people were talking about Sister Cen's affairs for a while, but Zhuo Xiuning didn't say anything, just held the wine glass in a daze.

"Xuning, what's wrong with you?" Zeng Zeping looked at him and asked.

"It's nothing." Zhuo Xiuning glanced at Zeng Zeping and lowered his eyes, then said lightly, "I was just thinking about what Pei just said."

"What did he say?" Zeng Zeping asked.

"He said that he originally looked at the relationship very lightly, but after getting married, he found that it became more important." Zhuo Xiuning whispered, then turned to look at Zeng Zeping and smiled, "I know that you are a responsible person, so Xiaomin I can rest assured for you."

Zeng Zeping didn't care about the last sentence, he just asked, "Is he referring to Sister Cen?"

Zhuo Xiuning nodded and said nothing.

Zeng Zeping didn't speak anymore. In fact, they didn't understand why Sister Cen decided to break up with Pei so decisively in the first place. Is marriage really such an untrustworthy thing

"Today's protagonist is Zeping. Just now, Sister Cen said that Zeping Xiuning is the best drinker. Then we will stare at a person today to see if he is drunk. What do you think?" Suddenly someone suggested.

"Okay, I don't believe that Zeping is so powerful." Having said that, in fact, everyone has seen Zeping's alcohol capacity several times, and it is indeed difficult to get drunk.

"He has to go to work tomorrow." Zhuo Xiuning said on the side.

"Xuning, you won't be able to escape from marriage in the future." Someone said with a smile.

"That's right, we'll start with Zeping today." Everyone roared.
