The two men sat opposite each other. Situ Lin didn't have the habit of smoking, but he knew that Qin Fangang had always smoked. He smiled and placed the ashtray in front of him. He didn't like to beat around the bush, and it had something to do with his profession. When he spoke to Qin Fangang, he didn't mince his words.
"Fan Gang, I wanted to have dinner with you, but I happened to have something to deal with tonight. Now that I've asked you to come out and meet me, did it affect your work?"
"No, it just so happens that I'm here to deal with something." Qin Fangang reached out to adjust his cufflinks as he spoke in a calm voice.
Situ Lin smiled and nodded. "I came to see you in a hurry because of Xiaoyan's matter. I think you know what's going on."
Qin Fangang lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and nodded. "Uncle Situ, if you have something to say, just say it."
Situ Lin nodded. "I happened to pass by England this time, so I went to see Xiaoyan. Some time ago, there was a sudden news report that caused a commotion in City D. Xiaoyan's mother asked me what was going on with you guys. You know that Xiaoyan's mother has always doted on Xiaoyan, so she was worried that she would be a bad influence on her."
Qin Fangang didn't say anything. He frowned and casually flicked the ash off his cigarette.
"So this time, I went to see Xiaoyan, but she didn't say anything to me. You know that Xiaoyan has always liked you and trusted you. She felt that this kind of news report was very normal and didn't feel conflicted at all. Then, I happened to run into your mother, and she told me something … "
Qin Fangang was not surprised. The reason why Situ Lin looked for him was most likely because of the previous report. He also had a rough idea of what his mother had said to him. After pondering for a moment, he spoke. The man's voice was deep. "Uncle Situ, I want to explain this matter to you personally. Previously, it was because you were not in D City. Since you specially came to look for me because of this matter, I will explain it to you clearly."
"Fan Gang, I've always known that you are a very opinionated person and a man of your words. I've always admired you. Of course, I believe your words. But what your mother said to me, I also feel that it makes sense. "
Qin Fangang lowered his eyes. His thumb and index finger gently twirled the remaining half of the cigarette between his fingers. He heard Situ Lin go straight to the point. "You know that I don't like to keep people in suspense, so I'll just say it... your mother told me that, after Xiaoyan's graduation in two years' time, you two should get engaged. the bush's in the bush. She told me about this matter....."
Agreed?
Qin Fangang knew very well that when his mother first mentioned it, he only had a perfunctory attitude and did not express his opinion. This was because he always believed that too many things could change in two years. Nothing was certain. Moreover, at that time, his mother had added another condition — if he did not find a suitable woman for himself.
. At that time, he just wanted to appease his mother. Naturally, the so-called 'suitable' wasn't that strong at that time.
But now, things were obviously different.
Qin Fangang raised his eyes and put the cigarette to his lips. He took a puff before he said, "Uncle Situ, about that report, there was a small misunderstanding. But I don't think it has a big impact, so I won't talk about it. As for what my mother said to you, I know what she meant. You probably came to me today to hear my opinion. "
"Yes, Fan Gang. I've always known about your relationship with Xiaoyan. You know how pure my daughter is. As her father, I understand her feelings for you. Perhaps you don't have deep feelings for her yet, so I have to confirm your opinion."
"I've always treated Xiaoyan as my biological sister."
Qin Fangang did not mince his words. He looked at Situ Lin and saw a flash of emotion in his eyes. He stuck out the tip of his tongue and licked his slightly dry thin lips. "… I know what my mother thinks, but it was also because of me back then. Since Uncle Situ is here to ask for my opinion, I'll tell you the truth. I like Xiao Yan, but that's just the way an older brother likes his younger sister. I'll take good care of her. I'm really sorry about the previous reports. It won't happen again. As for my mother's suggestion, Uncle Situ, you can laugh it off. "
Qin Fangang's words were very clear.
He was implying that everything had been a misunderstanding. His feelings for Situ Yan were only that of a brother and a sister.
Situ Lin was also a person of status. Even though in his heart, he actually vaguely hoped that this man, who was capable and also quite responsible, could really become his son-in-law, now that he had said it so bluntly, Situ Lin naturally couldn't say anything more.
He nodded and muttered to himself for a moment before he said, "Okay. Since you've told me this, I know what to do."
…
The two of them casually chatted for a while more. In the end, Situ Lin picked up a phone call. It was probably something important. Qin Fangang only heard him say "B City". After hanging up, he left in a hurry.
Qin Fangang sat alone in the private room and smoked another cigarette in silence. In the end, he gave Ji Yang a call and instructed him to prepare a flight to England the next day. Only then did he get up and leave.
It seemed that he had to talk to his mother about this.
Qin Fangang had always been a calm person. When it came to Xin Yu's matters, he had to be even more careful. The current situation was a little chaotic. He didn't want his mother to reject Xin Yu too much in the future. However, Xin Yu's identity was too sensitive. According to his mother's personality, it was quite impossible for her to accept it all at once.
Therefore, the key was still on him.
At the very least, he had to at least stop her from thinking about the Situ family. Only then could she slowly accept the woman he wanted.
…
Xin Yu had just finished preparing the things on hand when she saw Mu Chenchu standing at the door of her office.
"Here's a document that needs your signature. This project is considered complete. The rest of the work will be left to others."
Xin Yu looked at Mu Chenchu's listless expression and felt a little guilty. She signed her name at the bottom of the document and said softly, "I'm sorry, Chenchen. It's been hard on you during this period. Are you tired?"
"I'm fine."
Mu Chenchu shook her head absent-mindedly. After a pause, a light suddenly flashed across her dark eyes. "Xin Yu, yesterday I … suddenly received a phone call. Do you know who it was?"
Xin Yu was surprised to see her so flustered. "Who was it?"
"Do you still remember that first love I told you about?"
Xin Yu frowned and tried very hard to recall. Finally, she remembered. "… That big brother who used to live in the same courtyard as you. What was his name again?"
"Li Yu," Mu Chenchu's red lips moved slowly as she said these two words in a gentle voice.
"What's the matter? Did he call you? "
Xin Yu saw the expectant look on her good friend's face and her heart skipped a beat. If her guess wasn't wrong, that Su Junyan … seemed to be a little interested in Chenchen. Although she wasn't too good at relationships, she wasn't someone who didn't know what to do. At the final juncture of this project, Qin Fangang had always asked her not to interfere and let Mu Chenchu settle the documents. Xin Yu had a feeling that Qin Fangang was doing it on purpose.
Of course, she thought that it was on purpose because Su Junyan had asked Qin Fangang to do it.
But now, Mu Chenchu had suddenly mentioned her first love. It was probably true that she didn't have any feelings for Su Junyan, right?
"Yes, I always thought that I wouldn't be able to see Li Yu in this lifetime. I didn't expect him to still remember me. He called me yesterday and got his number through someone. He said that he would be back in a month. He even asked me if I still remembered him."
"…"
Mu Chenchu rested her chin on her hands and leaned on the desk. The way she muttered to herself clearly revealed the feelings of a young girl. "… Of course I remember him. He suddenly said that he was coming back, and it made me nervous. Xin Yu, I … Ah, Boss Qin!"
Halfway through her words, Mu Chenchu saw Qin Fangang standing at the door. She hurriedly stood up, looking a little embarrassed. "… Well, I'll get going first. Xin Yu, remember to call me tonight."
With that, she hurried out of the office.
Xin Yu: "…"
She didn't know how much Qin Fangang had heard and when did he come over? She didn't even notice what Chenchen had said just now. Would he tell Su Junyan about it later?
Xin Yu weighed the pros and cons in her heart and said, "… Well, did you hear it just now?"
"Hear what?"
Qin Fangang closed the office door and went forward to pull his little woman into his arms. His hands held her slender waist, and their bodies were instantly pressed together. "I don't care about other people's matters. I only care about my own woman."
His deep voice was close to Xin Yu's ear. When she heard him say the words "his own woman," Xin Yu felt a surge of warmth in her heart.
She reached out and took the initiative to wrap her arms around the man's waist, burying her face in his chest.
This topic was naturally diverted. Qin Fangang caressed her little face with his large palm and said after a moment, "I specially rushed back to pick you up from work. Accompany me for dinner tonight, a candlelight dinner, okay?"
Xin Yu: "…"
Xin Yu had to admit that sometimes, men were even more petty than women.
This was the case for the man in front of her. Watching him elegantly cut the steak on the plate, she stole a few glances at him.
The two of them sat at a round table. In the middle was a candle that Qin Fangang had specially prepared. Beside it was a tall crystal glass filled with red liquid.
The man opposite her raised his eyebrows slightly, indicating that he was in a good mood at this moment.
