Marriage Agreement

Chapter 38

Views:

Han Cheng arrived at the tea restaurant he and Zhou Yun had made an appointment with ten minutes earlier than the appointed time.

Han Cheng didn't know Zhou Yun's taste, so he ordered refreshments according to Xia Tian's usual preferences.

During the few minutes waiting for Zhou Yun, Han Cheng listed the worst-case scenarios and thought of countermeasures one by one.

Han Cheng is not afraid of trouble, this matter will have to be faced sooner or later, and Zhou Yun will see it when the magazine is actually published, it will be out of hand.

Since I abandoned the shortcut, I have to be prepared to face more complicated situations, but I still feel a little regretful when I think of the worst... I should have treated Xia Tian better before.

In this negotiation, the biggest variable is Xia Tian.

If Xia Tian's final choice is not to make Zhou Yun sad, then no matter how many countermeasures Han Cheng has, it will become a joke.

But this is inherently contradictory. If you go against your will and establish a real relationship with Xia Tian in advance, Xia Tian will eventually break up because of "I don't want to make my mother unhappy" or "I feel that we are still not suitable" more damage.

Since he decided to leave the choice to Xia Tian before, everything now is what he has to face.

Han Cheng went to see Zhou Yun at noon, and Liang Qingfeng naturally fell on Liang Qingfeng to pick up the work after school in summer.

"Mr. Han has something to do at noon today, let me pick you up." Liang Qingfeng opened the door for Xia Tian and protected the roof of the car to prevent Xia Tian from bumping his head. "Do you want to go home or eat outside?"

Han Cheng occasionally had something to do at noon, and Liang Qingfeng came to pick him up. Xia Tian had no doubts about him, so he got into the car and said, "Go home, I can't remember where to go."

Xia Tian looked at the time and asked Liang Qingfeng, "Have you had lunch yet?"

Liang Qingfeng was still thinking about Han Cheng meeting Zhou Yun, and shook his head: "No."

"Let's eat together later." When Han Cheng was at home, he would occasionally stay with Liang Qingfeng for dinner. It was hard work for him to pick him up. It was inappropriate to let him go like this. I went to the company and didn't have time to eat at all. If Han Cheng was busy in the afternoon, Liang Qingfeng would have to follow him hungry. It would not be easy to have time to drink coffee in the middle. Xia Tian was afraid that Liang Qingfeng would be polite and refused to come, so he said, " Anyway, Auntie must have done Uncle Han’s portion, and it’s a waste if no one eats it.”

Liang Qingfeng froze for a moment. Among Han Cheng's previous "companions", no one ever asked him to have dinner with him.

Even more unclear about the situation, they thought that Liang Qingfeng was just an ordinary life assistant, and if he shouted at him casually, Liang Qingfeng would naturally not say anything on his face, but he knew that the other party was uneducated and did not know that the so-called sense of superiority had been reflected in Han's eyes. Cheng's eyes are on it, so there's no need to say anything, Han Cheng himself has no interest in hanging out with idiots.

But Xia Tian is not, whether he treats himself, his aunt or the driver, he will have the respect he should have, and Xia Tian did not do this to please Han Cheng. Liang Qingfeng sent Xia Tian to Zhou Yun's house and saw it with his own eyes. The same goes for my aunt at home.

It is not easy not to be liked by others who are considerate and respectful.

Liang Qingfeng is a straight man, he doesn't understand Han Cheng's always messy taste, but whether as a subordinate or a bystander, he feels that Xia Tian is no less than a hundred times stronger than those around Han Cheng in the past.

Therefore, Liang Qingfeng was quite concerned about Han Cheng's "negotiation" today.

Liang Qingfeng nodded: "Thank you."

Xia Tian smiled: "Thank you... By the way, what is Uncle Han busy with, are you coming back tonight?"

Liang Qingfeng thought for half a second, and gave him an unambiguous answer: "Maybe go back."

Xia Tian didn't quite understand: "Aren't you sure? I heard from him that he doesn't have much work recently."

Han Cheng had previously ordered Liang Qingfeng, "Don't disturb Xia Tian."

"It's not official business." Liang Qingfeng couldn't disobey Han Cheng's order, so he turned a corner and said, "Also, the sample issue of that magazine was delivered today. I checked it out and the writing is perfect."

Unexpectedly, Xia Tian hurriedly said: "So fast? Is it at Uncle Han's place? Tell Uncle Han for me, take it home at night, I want to see it."

Liang Qingfeng said: "Unfortunately, the magazine has already been sent to Mrs. Zhou. After Mrs. Zhou feels that it is all right, I will probably be able to bring it to you."

Xia Tian was taken aback.

Liang Qingfeng lowered his eyes, he had already said enough, if Xia Tian hadn't heard it, he couldn't express it more bluntly.

Fortunately, Xia Tian is not so dull.

Sample issue, magazine manuscript, cover photo, Zhou Yun and Han Cheng didn't come to pick him up from school, and he might not be able to come back at night...

The details revealed by Liang Qingfeng pieced together a possibility, and Xia Tian asked uncertainly, "Uncle Han... did you go to see my mother?"

Liang Qingfeng didn't answer.

Xia Tian called Zhou Yun directly.

To Han Cheng's surprise, Zhou Yun was a quarter of an hour late before showing up at the tea restaurant.

Although he was impatient to wait for someone, the other party was a lady and his mother-in-law, and the lateness was not too long. Han Cheng digested this unhappiness, and when Zhou Yun approached, he got up politely: "Mrs. Zhou."

"I'm sorry, there's a traffic jam on the road." Zhou Yun apologized, "I should have called you earlier, but... I'm sorry."

Gentleman Han Cheng smiled: "I just arrived too."

"I don't know your taste, I'll order it casually." Han Cheng asked the waiter to change Zhou Yun's cold tea, "Look at what you can add."

Zhou Yun was a little restless and shook her head: "No, I like all of these..."

Zhou Yun gently stroked the newly replaced exquisite teacup, and repeated uncomfortably: "I was really sorry just now."

Han Cheng frowned slightly, a little confused about the situation in front of him.

He originally thought that Zhou Yun should be angry.

When the marriage contract was first made, the two parties had agreed that this marriage was in name only, and both parties would take what they needed without affecting or interfering with each other. Once the three-year period came, each would go back to his own home.

Just because Zhou Yun was worried, Ruan Sihe assured Zhou Yun several times that Han Cheng would never do anything to Xia Tian, but the content revealed in that magazine had obviously crossed the line.

Han Cheng knows how worried Zhou Yun is about herself. Even if she has cultivated herself well and doesn't want to lose her composure in front of her, it shouldn't be like this. It's just, it's...

Zhou Yun's eyes were evasive and worried, and there seemed to be a bit of shame hidden under the worried expression.

It's just self-repentance after doing something wrong.

Zhou Yun's abnormality made Han Cheng's originally prepared speech useless.

"It's like this..." Zhou Yun has been walking around in the social arena for so many years, she drank two sips of tea, covered up the redundant expressions on her face, and tried her best to show the ease of "just chatting a few words", "I watched that scene today." I suddenly remembered that you and Xia Tian have been married for so long, but we haven't talked properly yet."

Han Cheng acted accordingly, relaxed his expression a little, and nodded: "It's not suitable for chatting every time we meet. Do you have anything to tell me?"

"No, no." Zhou Yun shook her head and smiled, "I said it, I just remembered that I didn't sit together and say a few words."

Han Cheng suppressed the doubts in his heart, and based on the principle that the enemy can't move, I can't move, he really chatted with Zhou Yun about innocuous topics, eating refreshments, and spent half an hour.

After dragging out enough time to avoid being hasty and rude, Zhou Yun excused that both of them were busy, got up, and bid farewell to Han Cheng in a gentle tone.

From the beginning to the end, there was no mention of a word about the magazine.

What was supposed to be a stormy conversation ended in such a tasteless way.

With Han Cheng's shrewdness, it was not difficult to guess that Liang Qingfeng was not strict, or he did something smart, but Han Cheng didn't have time to think about how to deal with him. What he was more curious about was...how did he do it

Or, how did Xia Tian do it

"I... told my mother that I am pursuing you."

In the evening, in the Han residence, Han Cheng called Xia Tian to the study room, before he could ask any questions, the guilty Xia Tian confessed first.

Han Cheng frowned: "What?"

"I told her that I fell in love with you. I liked you very much. I have never liked anyone so much. I told her that I confessed to you, but you rejected me." Xia Tian swallowed, "Actually... The situation is about the same, you really refuse to confirm the relationship."

Han Cheng: "..."

"I said I was very uncomfortable, and asked her what to do." Xia Tian said awkwardly, "My mother is just like you, she didn't speak for a long time."

Han Cheng understood.

Xia Tian took the bottom of the pot and turned Zhou Yun's most popular question "How can you, an old hooligan, seduce my youngest son" into Xia Tian's unrequited love for herself.

The cabbage in her family was so motivated that she wanted to take the initiative to be a pig, but Zhou Yun, who didn't discipline the cabbage well, suddenly lost her confidence and lost her anger.

Not only that, but Xia Tian's sad tone and helpless inquiry made Zhou Yun unconsciously change her position and stood by her son.

No mother wants to make her child happy.

In this way, Zhou Yun's dodging eyes and awkward smile can be explained clearly.

Zhou Yun has a gentle temper and understands right and wrong. She is ashamed because she wrongly blamed someone.

The son can't pursue the person in front of him, Zhou Yun loves Xia Tian so much, it's fine if he doesn't help, how can he bear to make trouble again. Therefore, at noon, Zhou Yun didn't say anything, but worried about her son's troubled first love.

How come I fell in love with such a difficult thing to deal with.

During the half hour at noon, Zhou Yun was actually more anxious and worried than Han Cheng.

Han Cheng thought of the one thing that lingered in his mind at noon and made him most uneasy. In this negotiation, the biggest variable - Xia Tian.

An indescribable luck surged in Han Cheng's heart.

Han Cheng said in a deep voice, "Is that how your mother believes?"

Xia Tian paused, avoiding Han Cheng's scorching gaze, and said in a low voice: "She must believe it, because... I never lied to her before."

Han Cheng's heart suddenly felt as if someone had pricked him with a small needle, and he felt a sharp pain.

Han Cheng also lost his father when he was young. He knows better than anyone that it is not so easy to lie to his mother who has depended on him since he was a child.

"For you, I..." Xia Tian's eyes turned red, he turned his head sideways, took a deep breath, and said in a hoarse voice, "Han Cheng, do you still think that I am just a whim to you, three-point enthusiasm? "
