After Qiao Yichen heard Ding Meng's words, the first thing that flashed to her mind was, ah, so she still remembers my name...
After a second, he asked blankly, "What did you say?"
The corners of Ding Meng's mouth twitched. She mustered up the courage to say those words just now with the cheeks. Does he want her to say it again
The brief silence made Qiao Yichen aware of the embarrassment on the other end of the phone, he thought for a while, and said, "Let's talk to a place somewhere."
The two made an appointment at a coffee shop near the Central Hospital. After Qiao Yichen entered the store, he glanced around and quickly found Ding Meng's location. He waved to the waiter, walked over to Ding Meng and sat down: "Why did you come from the central hospital, are you sick?"
Ding Meng raised her head when she heard the words, and found that she didn't dare to look directly at him: "It's my grandma, she has a heart attack."
Qiao Yichen rolled his black eyes and asked, "Why did you change your mind because of this?"
Ding Meng pursed her lips and nodded lightly: "My grandma is old and her health is not good. It's not a solution for me to screw up blind dates all the time..."
Qiao Yichen looked at her and didn't speak. She was willing to agree to the proposal of marriage, which was a big help to him, but it was not a trivial matter after all. He didn't want her to make a wrong decision on impulse.
"Have you thought about it?"
Qiao Yichen's voice was more mellow than the coffee in front of him. For the first time, Ding Meng found that his words had a magic power that shook people's hearts. Unconsciously reconsidering it again, Ding Meng finally slapped her neck: "Thinking about it clearly, doesn't she just want to see me get married, so she'll tie it up, and it won't kill anyone!"
Qiao Yichen chuckled, and this tone was clearly out of anger: "You don't mind the second marriage?"
Ding Meng pouted: "Now the divorce rate is so high, a lot of people who get married for the second time are caught. Besides, I can explain this clearly."
Qiao Yichen still looked at her, but his eyes were much more serious than before: "You are going to live with me after you get married."
This inexplicably made Ding Meng blush. She lowered her head and rummaged in her bag for a while. She took out an A4 piece of paper and handed it over: "I've already thought about this."
Qiao Yichen glanced at her suspiciously, and took the A4 paper over—
Three chapters of the covenant:
1. After marriage, both parties will not interfere with each other's life, and the living expenses will be borne by themselves.
2. Both parties can have their own emotional lives and have no right to interfere with each other, but they cannot bring their partners home.
3. Unless necessary, the two parties must not have any physical contact, let alone have an intimate relationship.
Qiao Yichen laughed when he saw it, and Ding Meng asked in a rough voice, "What are you laughing at?"
Qiao Yichen pointed to the third item: "What does an intimate relationship refer to?"
... Ding Meng's face turned red again: "It's... you know!"
Qiao Yichen laughed and put the A4 paper aside: "What you wrote is too general and informal. If you really think about it, I will ask a lawyer to draw up a detailed agreement again."
"Oh." Ding Meng nodded and looked up at him, "Then can you go to the hospital with me tomorrow to see my grandma?"
"Of course." Qiao Yichen thought for a while and asked her, "But when you are divorced, how will you explain it to your family?"
Ding Meng rubbed her hair a little irritably, then lay on the table and said, "Let's be more tangled then."
Qiao Yichen didn't say anything. He invited Ding Meng to dinner and sent her home. The next day, he specially dressed up before rushing to the central hospital at the appointed time.
Ding Meng was already waiting at the entrance of the hospital, and she raised her eyebrows unexpectedly when she saw him coming: "Qiao Goudan, I didn't expect you to look like a dog when you dress up."
Qiao Yichen's eyes twitched quickly: "From now on, forget the name Goudan, I will add this to the agreement."
Ding Meng pouted and walked quickly behind him towards the inpatient department: "Why? I think this name is very distinctive."
"Then I'll call you Ding Goudan, would you like to?"
"Hey, gentlemen don't take people's favor, you should keep the dog eggs."
"Ding Ergou? Dinggou left? Dinggou hi?"
Ding Meng: "..."
She almost forgot what her name was.
After reaching the door of the ward, the two of them stopped making noise, Ding Meng took a breath and knocked on the door.
"Please come in."
It was Ding Meng's mother's voice.
Ding Meng said "my mother" to Qiao Yichen with her mouth, Qiao Yichen nodded and walked in with her.
Seeing Ding Meng bring a man in, still a very handsome man, Ding's mother stiffened for a moment.
Yesterday, she heard from her grandmother that Ding Meng secretly made a boyfriend, and she had reached the stage of talking about marriage. She originally thought it was just a nonsense made up by Ding Meng to scare her grandmother, but now it seems... is it true
Ding Meng laughed twice and introduced to them: "Mom, grandma, this is my junior high school classmate Qiao Yichen, do you still have any impressions?"
Ding's mother was still recalling, and Ding's grandma had already said in surprise: "Isn't this a dog? It's already grown so big."
Qiao Yichen: "..."
Ding Meng didn't turn her head to snicker.
A smile appeared on Qiao Yichen's mouth, and he walked to the hospital bed and put down the things in his hands: "Grandma Ding, this is the health care product I bought for you, I hope you get better soon."
"Thank you, thank you." Grandma Ding laughed until her mouth could hardly close, "I didn't expect Goudan to be so tall and handsome, Mengmeng, is this the boyfriend you said?"
"Yes, yes!" Ding Meng immediately entered the state of the heroine, "I and the dog... Yichen have been in contact for all these years, and naturally we are together."
Qiao Yichen silently took Gou Yichen's blow.
Mother Ding also thought of Qiao Yichen, and glanced at Ding Meng with some reproach: "Since you have a boyfriend, why do you keep hiding it from us?"
"This... He had poor grades and liked to fight back then. I'm not afraid that you don't like him."
Grandma Ding said with a stern face: "I don't like listening to you say that. Most women have 18 changes, not to mention boys. Look at people, you can see them as successful people." She looked at Qiao Yichen The more I look at it, the more I like it, "Where is Goudan now?"
Facing the stormy dog egg attack, Qiao Yichen said without changing his face: "I work at Guangchen Records and am a music producer."
"music producer? Ding Meng was so surprised that her eyeballs were about to pop out of her sockets. She thought he was just an ordinary employee.
Mother Ding looked back at her: "Why are you so surprised? Don't you know he is a music producer?"
"Of course I know!" Ding Meng said with a smile, "I just think he is very good, so every time I hear that he is a music producer, I am surprised."
Qiao Yichen: "..."
Grandma Ding took Qiao Yichen and Ding Meng's hands and said with a smile, "When are you going to get married?"
Ding Meng: "..."
The nirvana is here!
Qiao Yichen said calmly: "Grandma Ding, it's like this, Mengmeng and I originally planned to get married early next year, but after hearing about your illness, we decided to get the certificate in two days, but the wedding will take time to prepare. The banquet will have to wait until next year to make up."
Ding Meng glanced at him, and the "Meng Meng" sound was quite smooth.
Grandma Ding said, "I have no opinion. What does the child's mother think?"
Ding's mother said: "I have no opinion. I will tell her father later."
Ding Meng interjected: "I have a small request, because we only have the license and don't have a banquet, so we don't need to notify relatives and friends. When we have the wedding banquet and send the wedding invitation, can we notify them together?"
Mother Ding originally wanted to say that there was no need to rush to get the certificate, but thinking of her mother-in-law's illness, she nodded again.
After the matter was settled, Dad Ding also rushed over. Grandma Ding stayed in the hospital at noon, and the rest went out for lunch together. During the banquet, Ding's mother pulled Ding Meng out on the pretext of going to the toilet, and Qiao Yichen stayed on the table and continued to accept Ding's father's cross-examination.
Ding Meng walked to the bathroom with her mother, and her mother pulled her and asked, "Tell me honestly, did you get married in such a hurry because of your grandmother's illness?"
Ding Meng was stunned and said, "Yeah, but Yichen and I were originally going to get married, and now we just need to get the certificate in advance. It's the same."
Ding's mother asked, "Are you really in a relationship?"
Ding Meng smiled and said, "Mom, what are you talking about, I didn't fall in love with him, why would we get married." Seeing that her mother was still frowning, Ding Meng reassured, "Qiao Yichen and I have known each other for so many years. Don't worry if you know the bottom line."
This remark really reassured Ding's mother: "Yichen is really good, and I think your father likes him a lot."
"That's right, our Goudan family loves it." Ding Meng washed her hands and went out holding her mother.
After eating, Ding Meng and Qiao Yichen didn't go back to the hospital and left together in the car. Qiao Yichen looked at Ding Meng who was sitting beside him, and asked, "Are you doing anything else later? The agreement has been drawn up, let's go and have a look?"
"So soon?" Ding Meng was slightly surprised, "Okay."
Qiao Yichen took her to a law firm and found a lawyer named He. The agreement was made in duplicate, and Ding Meng took her own and read it carefully.
This agreement is indeed much more detailed than the one she wrote before. It not only covers all the contents of the three chapters of her contract, but also writes many things that she did not pay attention to before, including the issue of property distribution during divorce.
However, there were a few that caught her attention in particular.
Article 7: Both parties agree to go through divorce procedures after half a year of marriage.
Article 8, if one of the parties is actually doing a fake show, in the case of the other party's refusal, it shall be implemented in accordance with Article 7.
Ding Meng blinked: "What does Article 8 mean? Are you afraid I really like you?"
Qiao Yichen laughed: "No, I'm afraid I like you."
Ding Meng raised her eyebrows and glanced at him: "And the sixth rule, what are the daily expenses during the marriage that you are responsible for?"
Qiao Yichen said: "This is the literal meaning."
Ding Meng frowned: "I can take care of myself."
"It doesn't matter, you don't look like you can eat much."
... you really got it wrong.
Ding Meng said again: "What if I buy things and spend money indiscriminately?"
"You all say 'chaos', then it's not called daily living expenses."
Ding Meng's eyelids moved, and Lawyer He sat opposite them, looking very professional in a straight suit: "The two of you, let's see if there is anything else you need to add, or if there is anything you don't understand?"
Qiao Yichen said, "I'm fine."
Ding Meng said, "I'm fine too."
"Then please sign your names on the signature field."
Ding Meng and Qiao Yichen picked up their pens and signed their names on the agreement.
