Wei Nian has been very dissatisfied recently.
Especially when he came back from Shanghai, A Xuanmei had the guts to order him a tile fish and pork elbow in sauce from the restaurant, but she didn't show any other appreciation! No roses for him! No kiss from A Nian! Even when A Nian crossed the line a little bit, he was beaten up!
It's totally unfair!
Wei Nian's sour face was just like a rotten egg in the dog days of summer.
Before the lace factory opened, Anian used his intelligence to invest in it and helped come up with the idea of opening a handicraft school.
However, this did not ease Anian's mood at all!
Brother Anian is angry!
Even Wei Yin quietly asked his second sister-in-law whether she had had a quarrel with his second brother.
How could Chen Xuan recognize him? She quickly said, "No, no, why would I quarrel with Brother Nian?" At the same time, she discussed with Wei Yin and Qin Shu how to put an advertisement in the newspaper. As for the procedures for setting up a school, Qin Shu's family was in the education system, and Qin Shu was familiar with Mrs. Wen, so it was not a big deal and the procedures were completed when the house was rented.
Chen Xuan was also a little worried. She was simply scared to death. Wei Nian wanted a quilt as soon as he came back from Shanghai, which scared Chen Xuan half to death.
It's not that she was reluctant, she just felt that the way they were now was pretty good.
As a result, Wei Nian was extremely unhappy. Now he was in a bad mood all day long. Chen Xuan thought that she had to find time to talk to Brother An Nian.
Chen Xuan was no longer a fool. She made up her mind and booked a table at the Liuguo Hotel in advance. She also rented a car and went to pick up Wei Nian at the time when the restaurant closed at night. Of course, she also told Wei Yin to tell her family that she and Brother Nian would not go home for dinner because they had something to do tonight.
Chen Xuan also changed into a new cheongsam, wrapped in a woolen coat that Wei Nian had made for her the winter when she first got married, and put on clacking leather shoes. When Wei Nian saw Chen Xuan dressed like this to find him, and even rented a car, he didn't fly out immediately, but pretended to be reserved and asked, "What's the matter? Didn't you see I'm busy? The leather materials just arrived, need to be packed and stored."
When Chen Xuan saw that materials were about to be put into the warehouse, she knew that this matter was urgent and immediately said, "Then I will ask the driver to go back and we will talk about it later."
Wei Nian immediately changed the subject, "The guys have almost finished packing. With Shopkeeper Zhao watching over us, there's nothing to do. Okay, since you came all the way to wait for me, let's go out and talk." He handed over the shop's business to Shopkeeper Zhao, then glanced at the coat on the rack. Chen Xuan took the coat and helped Wei Nian put it on, buttoning it up one by one. Wei Nian stretched out his arms lazily, "Where are you going?"
Chen Xuan shyly took his arm and said, "I'll treat Brother Anian to a meal. Brother Anian has been busy since he came back, and we haven't had a good meal yet."
Wei Nian glanced at the car and asked, "Why are you still renting a car?"
"Brother Anian, don't you like to go to the Six Nations Hotel? I have reserved the Western restaurant of the Six Nations Hotel, and we have your favorite red wine baked pigeon." Chen Xuan knew that Wei Nian always liked high-end restaurants and liked to eat those expensive dishes. Chen Xuan had made the reservations, and she looked at Wei Nian seriously, "I'm treating Brother Anian to dinner today."
Not only did Chen Xuan treat Brother Anian to a meal, she also wanted to open the car door for him.
Although Wei Nian likes to put on airs, he would not let a lady open the car door for him. Wei Nian still took a step forward, opened the car door and let Chen Xuan get in, and then he got in. He felt a little happy in his heart. That's it. He missed Chen Xuan very much in Shanghai. The two of them have been together for a long time, and he also likes to kiss secretly from time to time, but Wei Nian and Chen Xuan are not as inseparable as a Western marriage. They are more like an old married couple. I didn't feel anything usually, but this long trip, sleeping alone on a high-end Western-style bed in the hotel, Wei Nian was even more uncomfortable and missed Chen Xuan very much. Thinking about the two of them usually doing nothing in the room at night, even if they read books together with their heads touching, they didn't feel bored.
It's not the same thing for a person.
As a result, Wei Nian went home just to get a little closer to them.
Well, his idea was not a “slightly” one, he just wanted to get it done in one go, but Chen Xuan firmly rejected him!
Wei Nian felt that Chen Xuan didn't care about his deep affection at all.
It's so heartbreaking and heartbreaking!
Fortunately, Chen Xuan dressed up so specially to invite him to the Six Nations Hotel for dinner, and An Nian's heart, which had been hurt for a while, showed some signs of warming up. The two of them were sitting in the car, and Wei Nian asked Chen Xuan quietly, "Do you know that you are wrong? If you do, we can just go home and don't have to go to the Six Nations Hotel for dinner." He also gently pinched Chen Xuan's palm.
Chen Xuan glanced at the driver in front of her, and without saying anything, she pinched Wei Nian's hand. Wei Nian's palm was smooth and soft, and there was a kind of strength in his bones that was unique to men. Chen Xuan liked Wei Nian's hands very much, and she also liked Wei Nian as a person.
When they arrived at the Six Nations Hotel, Chen Xuan asked the driver to wait outside, and she and Wei Nian went in hand in hand.
Chen Xuan didn't have many opportunities to come to the Liuguo Hotel, but she was a studious person. Every time she came to such a high-end place, Chen Xuan would recall it in detail after returning home. When she came again, she just did the same thing. Chen Xuan behaved very naturally. She told him her reservation and the waiter took them to the reserved table. Chen Xuan ordered dishes and asked the waiter to serve wine.
Before the dishes were served, Wei Nian felt that Chen Xuan was acting a little abnormal today.
Chen Xuan took off her coat, revealing a soft satin cheongsam with a sky-blue background and ripples. She picked up her wine glass and said, "Brother Anian, I'm inviting you to dinner today because I have something to tell you."
The two clinked glasses. Wei Nian saw Chen Xuan finish the wine in one gulp, as if he was about to use a big move. He spoke first with trepidation, "Well, Xuan, I'm not angry. I was just teasing you."
Chen Xuan immediately regretted it. If she had known that Wei Nian was not angry, she would not have booked such an expensive hotel, the Six Nations Hotel. Chen Xuan changed her mind and said seriously, "Brother Nian, it's not good for you to do this. I was worried that you would be angry, so I couldn't do my job properly these two days. Why are you like this? You make people worry about you."
"It's not that I'm not angry at all." Wei Nian took a sip of wine. "Think about it, are you hurtful? I've been in Shanghai, and there's not a day that I don't miss you. I finally came back, but you treated me so coldly. Would you be happy if we switched places?" Because they were outside, although there were tall bonsai plants separating the dining tables to form independent spaces, Wei Nian still spoke in a low voice.
Chen Xuan said, "After you left, I missed you too. But you only thought about yourself and not others."
"Who said I don't miss you? This cheongsam is pretty good, right?" This was specially bought for Chen Xuan by Wei Nian from Shanghai.
Chen Xuan nodded. "It looks good. I like it too."
Wei Nian took the opportunity to ask, "Do you like Brother Anian?"
Chen Xuan said with certainty, "I like it!"
Wei Nian leaned over and whispered, "Then why do you..." Are you always unwilling
Chen Xuan looked solemn, "Because I like you more than Brother Anian likes me, and I care about you more than you care about me."
It must be said that Chen Xuan has become much more knowledgeable recently. This was a confusing question, and Wei Nian just couldn't figure it out. But Chen Xuan refused to say more. The waiter respectfully brought the first cold dish, and Chen Xuan said to Wei Nian, "Eat."
Chen Xuan ate her meal meticulously and solemnly. Wei Nian wanted to ask her several times, but Chen Xuan talked about the next plan, "After Western food, we'll go to the movies."
Wei Nian thought, well, Chen Xuan loves to learn, so she applied all that she learned from him on him.
Since Chen Xuan had made arrangements, even though Wei Nian was feeling extremely nervous, he enjoyed the delicious food at the Six Nations Hotel and went to see a romantic movie. When they came out of the cinema, Chen Xuan discussed the plot of the movie with Wei Nian in a low voice, and Wei Nian's anxious and dissatisfied mood seemed to slowly ease.
The two got into the car hand in hand, and when the car took them home, Chen Xuan generously paid the fare, and the two went back to the house hand in hand.
Chen Xuan didn't rush to get water for Wei Nian to wash up, but poured two glasses of water and asked, "Brother Nian, was the movie good?"
Wei Nian nodded, "Not bad."
Chen Xuan then said, "I'll go get some water for Brother Anian to wash up."
After they washed up, Chen Xuan wanted to read as usual, but Wei Nian was a little absent-minded. He wanted to talk to Chen Xuan about their relationship again based on the topic they had in the restaurant. Wei Nian held the book and said, "Xuan, you really like me, right?"
"Of course I like it." Chen Xuan didn't hesitate at all, turned a page of the book, and said a little embarrassedly, "Brother Anian, don't ask me this all the time, it's so embarrassing."
"What's there to be embarrassed about? We are a proper couple. You like me, I like you, that's the way it should be." Wei Nian moved closer, resting his elbow on the small table, and whispered, "Since you like me too, why are you always unhappy?"
Chen Xuan said, "I like it, so I'm not happy about it."
"I've never heard of this. I like you, and I really want to be with you." Wei Nian said seriously, "I want to be with you for a long time, for the rest of my life."
Chen Xuan nodded, "I want to, too."
Wei Nian immediately perked up and held Chen Xuan's hand, "Then what are we waiting for? We are both adults now."
Chen Xuan did not break free from Wei Nian's hand, but whispered, "Brother Nian, you only think about this, and you don't think about the more important things."
Even someone like Wei Nian who could invest with his intelligence and wisdom didn't understand Chen Xuan's thoughts. Fortunately, Wei Nian was patient. He moved closer, almost face to face with Chen Xuan, and said, "What do you mean? Explain it to Brother Nian clearly."
Chen Xuan closed the book and said to Wei Nian very seriously, "Since we are going to be together for the rest of our lives, how can we just live together so hastily? You are always reckless and anxious, and you don't understand the rules of marriage at all. Tomorrow I will take our horoscopes to Longfu Temple to ask a master to calculate an auspicious day, at least this way we can be together. I used to hear people in my hometown say that you have to find an auspicious day so that you can live a peaceful and smooth life. I will also make two new clothes for you, Brother Nian, and I will make two new clothes for you too. At least this way we can be together, right? Tell me, you act like a sex maniac as soon as you come back to Shanghai, and you don't think about the future at all. Are you doing the right thing?"
Even though Wei Nian was always eloquent and witty, he was speechless after Chen Xuan's question. But Wei Nian couldn't say something against his will, didn't we get married before? Yes, we were married before, but after the marriage, Wei Nian did some unreasonable and inconsistent things. So, when Chen Xuan said this, Wei Nian was speechless, and after a while he said, "I was a little anxious, Xuan, you are right, we are going to be husband and wife for life, this matter should be taken seriously." However, Wei Nian still wanted to defend himself, "I am not a sex maniac, I treat you like this. This is called love."
"Nonsense, I like you too, how could I not be like this?" Chen Xuan didn't believe Wei Nian's excuses at all.
Wei Nian smiled, "Otherwise you just haven't figured it out yet."
Chen Xuan, "Let's save these frivolous things for when we get married. I still have something serious to say to Brother Anian."
"Go ahead, Brother Anian is all ears."
"After we get together, if you want to keep your money with me, Brother Anian, you can do so. I am also willing to keep it for you. However, we should keep our money separately. In the future, I will also pay for the monthly expenses, just like I do now."
"We are already husband and wife, there is no need to be so clear about the distinction."
"That's not the case." Chen Xuan had obviously thought about this for a long time. Chen Xuan said, "Brother Anian, the world is different now. Now, everything is modern. Like before, getting married was a lifelong thing, but now you can't think like that. People nowadays value freedom and love more. I think this means that if two people can live together, they can live together. If they are not happy, they can't be together. It's okay for small money. You have more and I have less. Neither of us is too calculative. But for big money, we still have to separate. Brother Anian, you have always treated me well, and you have more money than me, so I can't take advantage of you in this regard. Originally, I didn't want to be with you, not that I don't like you, but I thought that you might have someone else you like in the future. But you kept seducing me and always said these sweet words to me, and I couldn't control myself a little bit."
"But even if we are together, we have to make these things clear and say them in advance." Chen Xuan said, "Brother Anian and I have known each other for a while, and we know each other. Brother Anian, if one day you like someone else, just tell me directly, don't hold it in. Then, I won't let you suffer any loss, and your money will still be yours. We can't be friends anymore, and from now on I will pretend that I don't know you."
"Don't worry, I will never like anyone else. In my heart, from beginning to end, I only love you."
"Just remember this." Chen Xuan blushed a little, flipping the pages of the book unconsciously, and asked rationally, "Brother Anian, do you have any objection to what I said?"
"No problem. But I think you're worrying too much."
"I also hope that I am just worrying for nothing. I sincerely hope that I can live a loving life with Brother Anian for the rest of my life." Chen Xuan looked so serious and solemn. Logically, Wei Nian should be happy. However, it seemed that Wei Nian also felt the deep affection in Chen Xuan's heart, and he couldn't help but become serious for a moment. Wei Nian said, "Tomorrow, let's go to Longfu Temple to calculate an auspicious day."
Chen Xuan smiled and agreed.
Then Chen Xuan opened the book again, and Wei Nian said, "Stop reading, let's discuss it."
"I've thought of everything. In addition to choosing an auspicious date, we'll make two new sets of clothes and everything will be ready." Chen Xuan said to Wei Nian, "Brother Anian, don't waste time, hurry up. The book says that many new-style people are against old-style marriages. It's because they have learned new knowledge and have reached new heights in life. They are no longer at the same level as their former wives or husbands, and they have no common language. It's like if one person walks fast, the slower one will be left behind. Brother Anian, although you are faster than me now, if you keep being so careless, be careful that I will leave you behind in the future."
"Tsk, I can ask you to fall behind." Wei Nian still asked softly, "Xuan, if one day Brother Nian really asks you to fall behind, will you hate Brother Nian?"
"No." Chen Xuan said seriously, "Although many new-school opinions make sense. But, if you ask me, husband and wife are different from others. Being husband and wife means running for a lifetime. Everyone has times when they walk fast, and everyone has times when they walk slow. If you walk slowly, I will give me a hand. If I walk slowly, you will give me a hand. Only in this way can we walk together for a lifetime. If one person only cares about running fast and ignores the people around him, this is not a husband and wife. The ancients said that you should hold your hand and grow old with you. That is to say, you should hold hands and always walk together, so that you can grow old together."
Chen Xuan held Wei Nian's fair and beautiful hand. She always remembered that when she reached out her hand, it was Wei Nian who brought her to the outside world. Now, she didn't want to let go of these clasped hands. She was unwilling to let go.
