The moody western restaurant was packed, the dim lighting and the quiet environment made people feel ambiguous and throbbing.
In the empty restaurant sat a pair of well-dressed young men and women, sitting face to face, with western food and red wine, and a candlestick on the table, the atmosphere looked very harmonious.
Yan Duojin was cutting the half-rare lamb in front of him with a knife and fork, but his mind was already wandering, and he didn't listen carefully to what the person opposite said.
After Yao Zhan's invitation last time, the two got together several times in private. For example, today Yao Zhan invited her to watch a tour of a well-known foreign orchestra in China. After the concert, he brought her here again. A western restaurant.
She is no longer an ignorant little girl. After Yao Zhan asked her out for the second time, she understood what Yao Zhan meant.
Speaking of which, marriage is not uncommon in their circle, especially the girl who basically has no right to inherit the company and has enjoyed a rich life for many years. For her family, now is the time for them to contribute.
The few sisters of the Yan family don't have this trouble, especially Yan Duojin. Under Yan Chu's favor, she is the heir of the Yan family, and she will not contribute her as the heir for the sake of a so-called marriage.
But Yan Duojin also knew in his heart that since she was in this circle, her husband couldn't be too far away from this class.
To be honest, Yao Zhan belongs to the top group of unmarried young men of the right age for her to choose from.
From the perspective of family background, the Yao family has a clean and upright family style. The parents each have their own careers and respect each other as guests. They are model couples in the circle. The Yao family only has one son, Yao Zhan, so there is no need to worry about any disturbances in the future.
From a personal point of view, Yao Zhan and she have the same background in studying abroad, and their alma mater is the same abroad. This kind of knowledge background is helpful for their daily communication. Secondly, Yao Zhan is not the kind of spoiled The rich second generation, he is capable. As far as the simple contact these days is concerned, the other party has a serious personality, is organized and planned, and is the kind of person who is strict with others and even stricter with himself. When he is with him, the other party will To be loyal to the marriage and be responsible to his wife and children, because for someone like him who pays attention to efficiency, the loss caused by the discovery of cheating is not what he wants to see.
Yan Duojin is about to enter the 26-year-old mark. This is not an age when you are in a hurry to get married, but if you have not dated a boyfriend at this age, you are really rushed.
According to Yan Duojin's life plan for herself, she hopes to get married before the age of thirty, have a child before the age of thirty-five, and then concentrate on her career.
Yao Zhan is a very good target. After the other party showed his pursuit of her, Yan Duojin began to fall into hesitation, especially today when the other party booked a western restaurant, Yan Duojin guessed that he might have Therefore, now her mind is not on those exquisite meals at all, and she is completely immersed in troubles.
Yan Duojin in her previous life also made this choice, but Yan Duojin in this life is different from herself in the previous life, because in her life, she has a very high benchmark.
Since childhood, there has been such a perfect father who can do housework, earn money, love children, catch them at home and outside the house, refuse all temptations for their dead mothers, get along day and night with perfection, sisters Yan Duojin's vision is suddenly raised a lot.
Especially Yan Duojin, as the eldest sister, is also the future heir of the Yan family. When she chooses a partner, she has to consider not only herself, but also several younger sisters. All opposite sexes are compared with their fathers, which is why she is single until now.
Compared with his peers, Yao Zhan is undoubtedly excellent, but if he is put together with his dear father, it will seem a bit unsightly.
Yan Duojin also understood in her heart that if she really followed her father's example, she might be single for the rest of her life, so whether she should lower her requirements and try to date Yao Zhan is the reason she is struggling now.
To accept, or to reject
Yan Duojin raised his head slightly, looked at the handsome young man who was carefully cutting the mature steak on the plate, and sighed slightly in his heart.
"Duojin, date me."
After finishing the last dessert of dinner, a blond foreigner appeared with a violin. The dim light in the room suddenly changed, and an extra spotlight appeared out of thin air, shining on the dining table of Yan Duojin and Yao Zhan. He stretched his hand behind his back, and somehow, he conjured up a bouquet of roses.
He handed the roses in front of Yan Duojin, said with a slightly magnetic voice and sincere eyes.
Although he had already guessed it, but when this scene really happened, Yan Duojin couldn't help being touched, and a bit of the shyness of a daughter's family appeared on his face.
No woman can resist such a small romance, and Yan Duojin is no exception.
But even at this time, she still maintained her sanity.
"thanks."
Yan Duojin took the bouquet Yao Zhan handed over: "But this is a bit sudden, can you give me a few days to think about it, you know, we haven't been in contact for a long time."
Yan Duojin's face was somewhat apologetic, but it was irresponsible to herself and irresponsible to the other party to make a choice without thinking clearly about it herself.
The other party is indeed a good choice for a partner, but Yan Duojin is not sure whether he is with him just because it is suitable, or because he wants to be with him.
"I know we have only been together for a short time, but we are very compatible everywhere. I believe that we are the most suitable one for each other." Yao Zhan looked at Yan Duojin and said, he believed that the other party would make the most correct decision .
Just like his parents, they are also a political marriage of two families. Because of the same educational background and the joint interests of the two families, they also lived a smooth and stable life for most of their lives. He prefers the life of his family members who are on their backs, blaming each other all day long after the love fades.
And as a workaholic, Yao Zhan hopes to spend more time on his career in the future. Similarly, he also hopes that his wife will have enough enterprising spirit. Yan Duojin is such a strong woman. Can understand him too.
"However, this is a relatively important decision after all, so I respect your opinion and hope that you can give me a pleasant answer after you think it through."
Yao Zhan did not force Yan Duojin to make a choice on the spot, but gave her enough time.
After dinner, Yao Zhan sent Yan Duojin back to Yan's house, and outside the Yan's villa, handed her the bouquet of roses that Yan Duojin left in the car, and then drove away.
Yan Duojin stood at the door for a long time, seeing that the car was completely invisible in the dark night, he entered the house with a sad face.
Because it was already very late after watching the concert, and when Yan Duojin came home after dinner, all the younger sisters in the family had already gone to bed, but Dad was still sitting in the living room, holding a newspaper, I don’t know if it was waiting for her.
"dad."
Yan Duojin put the roses at the entrance, put on slippers and walked towards the sofa.
"Is there something wrong with our Dabao?"
Yan Chu knew who the eldest daughter had an appointment with tonight, so he didn't stop him, but respected her own thoughts, but judging from her expression at this time, it seemed that she had encountered some unsolvable problem.
Dabao is Yan Duojin's nickname. After she was in high school, her father seldom called her by this nickname. At that time, her father said that she was already an adult and had her own thinking ability and decision-making ability, so he Starting to call her by her first name also means that there is an extra parent in this family. At home, she has to set an example for her younger sisters.
For Yan Duojin at that time, her father's words gave her a sense of responsibility as the elder sister. It was also from that time that she began to have a clear concept that her life belonged to her. The moment she becomes an adult, she begins to take responsibility for her own life.
But today, when she heard the title of this long-lost relative, she realized that she was still her father's youngest daughter. The little baby who was held in his hands at the beginning, if there was any trouble, she would go to her father. If the problem is solved, she can also find her father. As long as the other party is by her side, there is nothing to be afraid of.
This point, even now that she has grown up, has not changed in the slightest.
Yan Duojin let go of the strong shell he had built up since he entered the company, and sat on the sofa, leaning his head on his father's shoulder, as he did when he was a baby with his father when he was a child, and hugged his father tightly with his arms. , she felt like she was still a child.
She thought that maybe her father could give her a good answer to the question she was worrying about now.
