Engagement?
After Lin Xuan's voice fell, even Chen Xi, who was next to her, could not help but turn his head to look at her.
It had only been about half a year since the last time they parted at the dock. Who would have thought that Lin Xuan was going to get engaged?
"Who is it? Do I know him? "
Qin Ruoying threw out a series of questions, but Lin Xuan smiled and shook her head after listening. She responded, "You don't know him."
At this time, Chen Xi could not help but interrupt and ask, "Is it Li Xiuwen?"
No matter what, Li Xiuwen had pursued Lin Xuan for a long time. In addition, Wang Lu had been playing matchmaker and constantly put in good words for him in front of Lin Xuan. So, if this lucky guy was Li Xiuwen, Chen Xi would not be surprised at all.
However, what Chen Xi did not expect was …
When he mentioned Li Xiuwen's name, Lin Xuan still shook her head and replied calmly, "You don't know him either."
"Oh, okay."
Chen Xi nodded, then sat on the side and didn't say anything.
In fact, after hearing the news that Lin Xuan was going to get engaged, Chen Xi was also happy for Lin Xuan from the bottom of his heart.
After all, Lin Xuan was not young anymore. It was hard enough for her to work alone in Zhonghai for so many years. If she could find someone to rely on, it would be a good thing for her.
As for Lin Xuan's little thoughts, it was obviously impossible for Chen Xi not to know.
It was just that this kind of thing felt a little awkward just thinking about it, so he could only pretend to be confused …
Qin Ruoying did not know the little secret in Lin Xuan's heart, so she continued to ask curiously, "You're going to get engaged. How long have you been together?"
"It's been almost four months …"
"What? Only four months?! "
Qin Ruoying was truly shocked by Lin Xuan's words.
Based on her understanding of Lin Xuan, Lin Xuan should be very cautious when it came to relationships, so she really couldn't imagine how outstanding that man was to be able to get Lin Xuan to the point where they were talking about marriage in just a few months.
"Xuanxuan, marriage is not child's play. You've only known each other for a few months, and you're already engaged. What's the difference between this and a flash marriage?"
Wasn't the most common ending of a flash marriage a flash divorce?
Especially for women, if they were so careless about marriage, they would be completely irresponsible for their own future.
Qin Ruoying wanted to persuade Lin Xuan to reconsider.
However, Lin Xuan seemed to have thought of everything. She smiled and gestured for her not to worry. Then, she said, "Yingying, don't worry. I'm not a little girl anymore. Do you think I'll be blinded by love? When I said that I was about to get engaged, there was actually a prerequisite … "
"What prerequisite?"
"He has to pass my strict test."
Lin Xuan couldn't help but blink playfully.
Seeing that Qin Ruoying was still confused, she smiled and explained, "We're classmates. Your daughter is already so old, but I'm still single. How can I not be anxious? How can my family not be anxious? "
"Even if you're anxious, you can't be so careless …"
Qin Ruoying rolled her eyes at Lin Xuan in exasperation.
Seeing this, Lin Xuan held onto her hand and patiently explained, "Yingying, listen to me … Actually, what I mean is that I'm not young anymore. Since I agreed to date someone, it's obvious that I'm aiming for marriage."
"Grandpa Mao once said that those who don't date for the purpose of marriage are all hooligans … So, I have to carefully examine him. If he can successfully pass my examination, then why can't I marry him?"
"…"
Qin Ruoying was speechless.
After hesitating for a long time, she asked with a puzzled expression, "Xuan Xuan, do you love him?"
"Love?"
Hearing this, Lin Xuan couldn't help but chuckle.
"Yingying, you might not know … How difficult is it to meet someone you like in this world who also likes you?"
"Actually, a lot of people can only choose one of two. You can either choose the one you like or the one who likes you …"
"I think I'm still very rational, so …"
"I choose the latter."
Saying this, Lin Xuan couldn't help but glance at Chen Xi. She seemed to be envious of the relationship between the couple.
Seeing that Lin Xuan had already said this, Qin Ruoying naturally couldn't say anything else.
Therefore, after hesitating for a while, she could only sincerely wish her well, "Okay, although it's still a little rushed, I believe in your taste, so I wish you happiness in advance … All the best, Xuan Xuan!"
"Thank you."
Perhaps because this topic was a little heavy, the two quickly changed the topic, and then chatted about everything.
Qin Ruoying hadn't talked so much in a long time.
After all, she didn't have many friends, and Lin Xuan was one of the few that she had left.
Therefore, after lunch, Chen Xi's family didn't rush to leave. Instead, they continued to accompany Lin Xuan for afternoon tea.
In the end, because Lin Xuan received a call from her leader, saying that there was an urgent matter that required her to return to the company, Lin Xuan could only reluctantly say goodbye to Chen Xi's family.
"Sister, goodbye!"
Lin Xuan had just treated the little guy to a lot of desserts, which made the little guy very happy.
Therefore, even though Chen Xi had already walked a distance away with her in his arms, the little guy still reluctantly turned back and waved at Lin Xuan.
"Niannian, goodbye, sister will treat you to good food next time ~ Come, muah ~"
“Mua！ Goodbye, sister! "
Hearing this, the little guy covered her mouth with both hands, gave Lin Xuan a flying kiss, and then obediently returned to Chen Xi's arms.
Lin Xuan stood by the street, until Chen Xi's family got into the car and left, she didn't leave.
Just like that afternoon last year.
It was a beautiful September day, and the pier was quiet.
She stood under the palm tree, just like today, watching the car gradually disappear into the distance.
Lin Xuan was slightly absent-minded.
But at this moment, a feminine man's voice suddenly sounded from behind her.
"Xuan Xuan, I've been waiting by the side for so long, but you didn't even give me a chance to go on stage? Let me tell you! I'm angry! "
Lin Xuan turned back to look, only to see a gay-looking man in tight pants, walking quickly towards her with a resentful expression.
Seeing this, Lin Xuan complained helplessly, "Didn't I tell you to wear a suit? Look at you, how can I introduce you to my friend?"
"Xuan Xuan, I've said it many times! I! Don't! Like! Like! Wear! Or! Pretend! What's wrong with me wearing this? Why can't you introduce me to your friend? "
Hearing this, Lin Xuan could only sigh, and turned to apologize to him, "Alright, it's my fault, I shouldn't have asked you to come … I apologize to you, don't be angry, okay?"
"Hmph! I'm not happy! I'm a little angry! "
"Alright, alright, I'll treat you to coffee, don't be angry …"
Saying this, Lin Xuan went up to the man's arm, and pulled him to a nearby coffee shop.
As they walked, Lin Xuan tilted her head to look at the sea not far away.
The afternoon sun shone on the surface of the sea, as if the sea was coated with a layer of gold powder, the sparkling waves were almost blinding.
In a daze, Lin Xuan's thoughts drifted further and further away.
Actually, she didn't know what she was thinking about.
She asked herself, she wasn't a chaste woman, but why couldn't her heart hold anyone else?
Why?
What was the reason?
Lin Xuan really wanted to know the answer.
But …
