"Knock knock knock—" there was a knock on the door.
"Mu'er, it's me. Dinner is about to start. Mommy asked me to come up and call you..." Lu Yan's clear and light voice came from outside the door.
"I'll be right down."
Qiao Muer responded to the outside.
She put down the towel in her hand and looked at herself in the mirror. There were no tears on her curled eyelashes. Her eyes, which were slightly red just now, faded a lot after being covered by cold water.
But her lips were still a little swollen. Her eyes fell on the slightly swollen lips, and she subconsciously thought of Yue Zheng's strong and passionate kiss just now.
But I don’t want to think about it anymore. I can’t think about it anymore.
Qiao Muer quickly shook her head, wiped her face again with a wet towel, applied skin care products and lipstick, then opened the door and went downstairs.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the door opened, I saw Lu Yan leaning against the corridor.
Fortunately, the lights in the corridor were dim, so people couldn't clearly see the traces of crying in her eyes.
"Yan Yan, I just fell asleep in there." Qiao Muer used a lame excuse.
"Oh." Lu Yan didn't point it out, but just nodded and slightly curved her lips. She said: "Mu'er, they should mention your marriage with Yue Zheng at the dinner table later. I guess they should get engaged first, and then get the marriage certificate when you are 0 years old."
Qiao Muer lowered her head and said nothing.
Lu Yan raised her eyebrows: "Why aren't you talking? In the afternoon, you seemed to have accepted the proposal to get engaged to An An."
“…” Qiao Muer bit her lip and lowered her head.
Lu Yan: "Why, you don't like it, you don't want to marry An An?"
Qiao Muer has been feeling depressed ever since she heard Lu Yan talk about getting engaged and getting a marriage certificate.
Humans are really strange animals.
Just a few hours ago, she was so excited and happy to hear such words, but after just a while, her heart had become numb.
"Mu'er, you are the eldest daughter of the Qiao family. I remember that when you were young, you had a much worse temper than you do now. It's no exaggeration to say that you were unruly and willful. At that time, you often bullied the women who approached your father and made them cry and scream. Even Zhuo Yunfei was often teased by you and cried.
But after growing up, especially recently, I feel that... your previous courage seems to have disappeared. If you like someone, you like him. If you don't like someone, you don't like him. Whether you want to marry or not is up to you. I believe that as long as you say what you think, no one will force you. "
Hearing Lu Yan's words, Qiao Muer seemed to feel a surge of anger in her heart.
She had always had an idea in her mind, but she never dared to say it.
"Yan Yan, thank you, I understand." The haze in my heart seemed to be suddenly blown away.
Lu Yan's words woke Qiao Muer up.
Yes, she is not just the Qiao Muer who liked Yue Zheng, she is also the Qiao Muer of the Qiao family, the eldest daughter of the Qiao family.
She should have her own pride.
…
Soon, dinner began.
When Qiao Muer and Lu Yan arrived, everyone else had already taken their seats, and there were two empty seats next to Yue Zheng.
Qiao Muer walked over and sat down one seat away from Yue Zheng.
Lu Yan's narrow black eyes flashed with a smile, and she sat down between the two of them.
Yue Zheng's deep blue eyes swept towards Qiao Muer, the depths of his eyes were so dark that it was impossible to see through them.
After three rounds of drinks, the atmosphere at the table became lively.
At this time, Yue Xinluo spoke first: "Mu'er did very well in the exam this time. You can choose any school in City A or City B. Mu'er, have you chosen your favorite university? If you have, you can let An'an open a company near your school. In this way, you can spend four years together in college. With him taking care of you, your daddy and mommy will feel more at ease."
