The Reluctant Bride

It's the same as every mention of marriage in the past. Tang Yanan's face was stern, as if he was talking about the weather.

Zheng Qimei felt unable to understand.

How many times has he told himself about marriage?

one two three four? Four times, right? Zheng Qimei is not sure. No matter how many times, the root of the problem is--

"Tang Yanan. You said that you would let me go."

He lowered his head slightly, breathing was still a bit heavy, and the tip of his nose had bursts of astringency. It was a sequelae of a cold.

What he said yesterday was still in his ears, he said he would send himself back, now he regrets it?

"I did." Tang Yanan didn't deny it, his face was as silent as he had seen before: "Now the situation is different."

"What's the difference?" Zheng Qimei couldn't believe it, she would believe him: "You bastard, you didn't intend to let me go, right?"

In silence, Tang Yanan looked at her cheeks that had become flushed with anger.

"I really want to let you go." Tang Yanan didn't deny it, pursing the corners of his lips, he said lightly: "But then I found that there was no way. I, there was no way to let you go."

...What do you mean? Zheng Qimei looked at him blankly, with a slightly confused expression.

"Do you understand?" Tang Yanan approached her, the exhaled heat wrapped around the tip of her nose. The strong masculine breath made her feel dizzy. She opened up in front of her.

"Sister Zheng, I don't want you to leave here." This is the truth. She stroked her cheek with rough fingers. The strange touch made her body tremble slightly, and she felt her head dizzy. Shi became even more dizzy.

"I don't want you to leave me."

"You..." After half of the words could not be said, she could only stare at the person in front of her blankly, as if she had been thrown into a stone.

At first I thought there was nothing, but the ripples became bigger and bigger, and they swayed in circles until they enveloped and surrounded the entire atrium.

The face in front of me began to grow bigger and bigger, until the lips were sealed. The overbearing and passionate kiss was the same as the first.

Zheng Qimei felt that she must be feverish and confused, her brain started to be confused and dizzy.

What she had to do pushed him away, slapped him, and then seriously warned him to keep him away.

Or just give him two punches, so that he doesn't want to eat swan meat. But the first thought that flashed through my mind turned out to be that she has a cold. If he kisses himself like this, she will be infected...

Until the kiss ended, she neither pushed him away nor slapped him twice.

That night, Zheng Qimei once again fell asleep in Tang Yanan's arms, no more entanglement, the bodies of the two were stacked together, her chest against his strong chest.

His breath is in the ear, and his heartbeat is under his hand. It seems good to be entangled in this way.

After waking up, Zheng Qimei did not give Tang Yanan an accurate answer. She did not say to marry, nor did she say not to marry. Tang Yanan didn't force her either.

For the next two days, he took care of her quietly. Sometimes he would go out during the day, but he would return soon.

After giving her a Chinese meal, she went into the study and didn't know what she was up to.

He still slept in the same bed at night because she was sick and he did nothing to her.

After getting up for dinner this morning, Tang Yanan took her temperature.

With a rough hand, she stroked her cheek carefully. Forehead. Feeling her temperature recede, her face returned to normal.

His always cold heart slackened, and the corners of his lips rose, and the arc made his cold face look a lot softer.

"Okay." Handing the medicine and water to Zheng Qimei's hands, Tang Yanan gently said, "You are almost done, just take the medicine again."

"Yeah." Zheng Qimei nodded, ate the medicine, took a few sips of water, and handed him the cup back.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

silence. The room fell silent, only the breathing of two people could be heard.

Outside the window, the snow has stopped. The sky in Washington finally appeared somewhat clear. The sun shines on the roof outside, making the snow more crystal clear and white.

That piece of purity made Zheng Qimei aspirational. She grew up so old that she had never skied in the snow.

"Want to go skiing?" Tang Yanan felt her gaze and said lightly.

"Yeah." Zheng Qimei nodded: "However, I won't."

"I teach you."

Zheng Qimei turned her face to look at him because of his words: "You will?"

"Yeah." Tang Yanan nodded, bowing to Xuanyuan's gift, he would, and he would follow suit. If it wasn't for the two people's age difference by a few years. Now he should have gone to the same school as Xuanyuanzhen, learning exactly the same skills.

"Oh." Zheng Qimei was curious: "What else can you do?"

Tang Yanan raised his eyebrows, what would he do? Or it should be said nothing.

He has a special position in Longtang. The equivalent of Xuanyuanzhen's companion, brother.

Xuanyuanzhen had no playmates since he was a child, and when he was older, he would not let go. Xuanyuanzhen was only a teenager at that time.

When he was interested in basketball, Tang Yanan followed suit. When he was interested in football, Longtang had someone to accompany him to play with him.

Xuanyuanzhen likes everything that is exciting.

Skydiving, bungee jumping, bungee jumping. Mountaineering. The more exciting, the more he likes it. apart from……

"Wait for you, I'll take you to ski." Withdrawing his thoughts, Tang Yanan spoke gently.

Zheng Qimei stayed silent, her eyes turned from his face to the window, after looking for a long time, her voice was slightly sad when she spoke again: "You said, when I'm done, let me go."

The words are firm, but the eyes are not. The entanglement and struggle inside didn't escape Tang Yanan's face. He stretched out his hand and held her hand, in a low voice, there was a hint of inquiry.

"Now, you still insist on leaving?"

"..." The small face turned away, just out of sight.

"Sister Zheng, I won't let you go. We get married. I can give you everything you want."

"..." She squeezed her hand tightly and asked for an answer to see if she was still silent. Tang Yanan turned her face and forced her to look at herself.

"Say, you marry me, you want to marry me."

Zheng Qimei shook her head, her heart was a little confused, and she couldn't give him a normal answer.

"Marry me." Not a request, but an order: "You must marry me."

"I……"

"That's it, I'm going to arrange the wedding." Two days have passed a week, and there are five days left. Tang Yanan didn't have much time to waste.

Standing up and about to leave, Zheng Qimei suddenly grabbed his hand.

"Hey." Zheng Qimei stared at the scar on his face, and said angrily: "You are going to prepare for the wedding, do you have to ask me what kind of wedding I want?"

Tang Yanan was stunned, staring at Zheng Qimei's face blankly, unable to react for a while.

Zheng Qimei half-closed her eyes, trying to calm herself down: "The person who is going to get married still has me? Don't you need my opinion?"

"Sister Zheng?"

"There's more." Zheng Qimei patted his hand vigorously, her expression was a bit unwilling, she was a little helpless and confused, and finally resented: "I hate my name, don't call me. Full name. Otherwise I will turn my face."

"you……"

"Seven, seven." Zheng Qimei said lightly: "Call me seven, seven. Or Xiaoqi."

Parents like to call her Xiaoqi, but friends only call her Qi and Qi.

"Little Qi." Tang Yanan bent down and suddenly stretched out his hand to hold her in his arms, his lips swept across her face, and his expression was a little cheerful: "What kind of wedding do you want?"

"Simple but grand, a wedding that can be blessed by relatives and friends."

"Good." Tang Yanan nodded. This is simple, he can do it.

"I want the latest wedding dress in Milan." The one worn by Zuo Panqing last time was very beautiful, and she wanted to find something more beautiful than her.

"Ok."

"I want a diamond ring. Not too big, but it must be elegant and beautiful."

"it is good."

As long as she agrees to get married, these are minor issues.

"Also." Zheng Qimei looked at him, and wanted to say that she didn't want a husband who was a gangster and society. After turning a half circle, she said: "Next time I didn't say it well, you cannot touch me."

"..."

This time it was Tang Yanan's turn to be silent. Zheng Qimei laughed, no way, he was too energetic. She couldn't fight him, lowered her head, her voice was very soft.

"If you beg me, maybe, I will say it twice more." That's true.

Tang Yanan was really surprised this time, the corners of his lips raised, revealing the first smile after Zheng Qimei had been with him for so long.

That should be considered a laugh, right?

Zheng Qimei sighed in her heart. Okay, so be it.

Maybe Tang Yanan is not the good match in his mind, but the look he cared about just now, the caring for her these past two days. She suddenly wanted to believe that maybe he was a good husband.

He has a sense of justice, and although he is a bit loyal, he has not really harmed anyone.

I should be a good father in the future.

After a long sigh of relief, she is getting married, shouldn't she inform Zuo Panqing?

Uh. Zheng Qimei later realized that something happened. It seemed that she had called Zuo Panqing two days ago, and she also...

"Ah." She cried, Zuo Panqing wouldn't worry that she was going crazy with worry?

When she found out her cell phone and wanted to make a call, Tang Yanan said as if she knew what she was thinking: "Zuo Panqing called you. When you were sick and sleeping, I told her that you were sick. She is fine, don't worry. ."

Zheng Qimei was surprised again, and finally nodded, okay. She just needs to call Zuo Panqing to tell her that she is getting married.

I believe she will be very surprised, very unexpected.

Zheng Qimei was actually looking forward to it.

……………………

Gu Xuewen only stayed at home for two days before returning to the army. He was going to prepare for the joint exercise.

Zuo Panqing went to work with a restless heart. After all, I was still very worried about Zheng Qimei. But if Gu Xuewen made her believe him, then she would believe it unconditionally.

After repairing for two days, I drew pictures, looked for information, and then went to work in the new company.

The new company, Zhou's Jewelry, leases the thirty to fifty floors of an office building. Except for the exhibition halls on the third and second floors. Upwards are employees’ offices.

The accessories issued in the Mainland are different from those sold in Hong Kong. But the overall style is similar.

She still works on her favorite design. There is no major event on the first day after joining the company, but to get familiar with the company’s environment. Learn about the internal structure of the company. .

These just need to look at the information. One day passed quickly. Life has returned to normal, and I am living from 9 to 5, feeling that I can adapt to the rhythm of life in Beijing.

Going to work, drawing pictures, that's it, it's pretty good. The heart began to slowly settle down.

It's almost the same as when I was in City C. I just wondered what Zheng Qimei didn't know, and what Gu Xuewen was up to. Are the soldiers so busy?

She didn't know, but felt that Gu Xuewen was quite busy. It turns out that it's not easy to be a military wife.

After two days of work, the state has always been relatively leisurely. Go home and surf the Internet, draw pictures, and chat with Chen Jingru. Speaking of words, one day passed quickly.

I slept into the middle of the night and was still in a daze when the phone rang. Zuo Panqing is confident that no one can find herself at night, and her mobile phone will not be turned off.

Suddenly heard the phone ringing in the middle of the night. After turning around on the bed two times, I touched the phone and flicked twice on the screen with half-squinted eyes.

"Hey. Who?"

sleepy. What time is it now?

The drowsiness made her tone a little confused, and her consciousness was not so clear. Zuo Panqing did not open her eyes, and yawned innocently while holding the phone.

"Panqing, I am getting married."

With a hint of excitement, Zuo Panqing couldn't react for a while, and when he was half asleep and awake, he nodded gently: "Okay. Congratulations."

"Thank you." Zheng Qimei was very happy, so happy that she had forgotten the time difference between the United States and China: "I thought you would oppose it, but I did not expect you to bless me. Thank you, Panqing."

"No thanks." Zuo Panqing yawned again, and the familiar voice over the phone relaxed her state: "Yes, when is the wedding date set?"

"Next week. Will it be too hurry?" Zheng Qimei's voice was a little excited: "Panqing, I am getting married, you will come and bless me, right?"

"That's for sure." Zuo Panqing nodded without hesitation: "Remember to send me an invitation. I will definitely come."

"Thank you. Thank you." Zheng Qimei was over-excited: "Panqing, you are so kind, don't worry, I will help you pay for the ticket. Then I will cover food, housing and play. How about?"

"Yeah. Very good." Zuo Panqing closed her eyes, feeling sleepy still saying hello to herself: "Congratulations. I will definitely come."

"Okay, Panqing, I will prepare for you and wait for you to come. You must come."

"I will come." Zuo Panqing was sleepy, so sleepy, so sleepy.

"Okay, I'll wait for you. Goodbye."

"Goodbye.

The phone in Zuo Panqing's hand fell on the bed. At the same time, she finally realized who that familiar voice was.

This recognition made her sit up, staring at the room she was already familiar with. This is Gu Xuewen's home in Beidu.

marry? What did she hear about getting married just now? Who is getting married?

Zuo Panqing looked at the phone on the bed and opened the chat log. Zheng Qimei?

Qimei Zheng is getting married? Who is she going to marry? Drowsiness was disturbed at all. Zuo Panqing blinked desperately.
