Honeyed Marriage

chapter 03

However, in the next moment, they could see the face of the man who walked forward-it was not Zhou Mengyan!

Everyone was stunned.

The man walked in front of the crowd, looked at Feng Zhuang, and smiled slightly: "Hello, Ms. Feng, I am Mr. Zhou's assistant."

"assistant Manager?"

"Sorry, there is always something going on in Zhou tonight, and I can't come to Lingyuan's birthday banquet," he handed a gift box. "This is a gift for Lingyuan. Let me send it to you to make up for it."

The crowd was in an uproar.

Ruan's face suddenly changed when he heard this.

Feng Zhuang's face stiffened for a few seconds. He took the gift box and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, Mr. Zhou has just returned to China and he is very busy. We understand. Thank him for me and invite him to be a guest when he is free."

Ruan Wucheng stretched out his hand, still smiling politely, Ruan Ling also thanked gently.

After Bentley Yangchen left, the Ruan family stood there as if they had been stunned.

"This, what's going on," Feng Zhuang's expectations fell to nothing, "Obviously, I promised well before!"

Ruan Wucheng looked black and walked back to the banquet hall.

"Is there really such a thing as a marriage? Zhou Mengyan is not there..."

"How does this look like a rapport..."

Ruan Ling felt a huge sense of humiliation coming to his heart as he listened to the people around him.

A second ago, she proudly told others that Zhou Mengyan would come for her.

The next moment he was beaten in the face.

Feng Zhuang comforted: "It's okay Lingling, maybe people are too busy..."

Ruan Linghong stared at Feng Zhuang, "I blame you, I'm ashamed!"

She shook her mother's hand and walked upstairs.

After seven o'clock in the evening, Ruan Yan felt a little hungry after listening to the book in the room.

Fifteen minutes ago, the servant had come to inform her that the dinner was cooked, she took off the earphones, got out of bed, and walked out.

She fumbled for the door, opened it and went out.

The servant could have been notified, but thinking about living in someone else’s house, it’s better not to bother others too much.

It was quiet outside, and Mr. Zhou should not be at home.

Tonight is Ruan Ling’s birthday. According to Ruan’s family, he should be at the banquet at this moment.

Ruan Yan knew him because she often heard Feng Zhuang and Ruan Ling mention the name at home during this period, still with admiration and admiration.

She only said a few words to him today, but she can also feel that a man like him is mature and stable, and the city is quite deep. Although she can't see his appearance, she can detect the kind of superiors from the few conversations. Aura.

Inexplicably, it makes people feel a little jealous.

But... it has nothing to do with her.

The girl no longer thinks too much, holding a frosted wall with her left hand, and gently stepping down the stairs with her foot.

The sound of cooking came from the kitchen downstairs.

As she walked, she did not know that a man walked out of the conference room by the stairs.

Zhou Mengyan had just finished an international video call and came out to have a meal. When he turned his head, he saw a petite figure on the stairs.

The girl's long hair was docilely scattered behind her, her rosy lips pursed slightly, and her white legs under her nightdress were like glowing white porcelain.

He looked at her silently.

Ruan Yan stepped on the stairs, not knowing that the last grid was a special design, one floor was hollowed out.

After she got used to it, she gradually relaxed, her feet fell the same distance as before, but her right hand holding the air was caught.

The moment she stepped on the air and steadily stepped on the ground, her body subconsciously leaned forward to the stress point of her right hand, and her body hit a stiff chest.

While the mature masculine scent hits her face, the girl once again smells the warm cedar wood scent between her nose, which is very familiar.

Zhou Mengyan?!

Suddenly, the man's deep voice really fell on top of his head:

"Be careful."

When the man finished speaking, he let go of his hand and retreated to a suitable distance. Ruan Yan's ears turned red, "Thank you."

"Let the servant accompany you in the future, you are not familiar here."

She nodded gently.

"Have you had dinner?"

"No……"

He stepped forward, his voice was low, "Then come and eat together."

She was stunned, not knowing how to react, and heard the servant came over to help her.

"Thanks..." She hurriedly thanked.

Ruan Yan followed Zhou Mengyan, and doubts flashed in his heart——

Why is he at home?

Doesn't he need to attend Ruan Ling's birthday tonight?

In the dining room, Ruan Yan was arranged to sit down opposite the man, with a delicate western food on the plate in front of him.Considering that the girl could not see, the servant had already cut the steak in advance, and underneath was a tomato and bacon pasta.

"Thank you." She thanked again awkwardly.

Zhou Mengyan looked up at her.

Ruan Yan lowered his head, slowly picked up the fork, and lightly touched the food on the plate.

Dare to make a little noise.

This was the first time that she had eaten in a stranger's house she had never seen before, and the man sitting opposite was the man who looked up and admired.

How could you not be nervous...

She breathed lightly and focused on the food, a few seconds later she silently moved the steak aside, and then picked up the pasta into her mouth.

She has been inexplicably unaccustomed to eating beef since she was a child, because she didn't like the smell of meat, and she couldn't see it, so eating noodles would be more convenient.

The taste of the noodles is very good, but the quantity is not large.In addition to eating less at noon, she can't fill her stomach at all at the moment...

The restaurant is very quiet, so she can only drink corn soup.

When the opposite man raised his eyes and looked at her, he found that the pasta on the plate in front of her was gone, and the steak seemed to have hardly moved.

He continued to lower his head to eat steak.

After a while, she put her fingertips on her hand a few times, touched the water glass, and heard the man finally speak:

"Is blindness caused by a car accident?"

She was stunned, and quickly replied: "...Yes."

After the car accident, the hematoma in the eyes caused blockage and slight damage to the nerves. The doctor said that he could only recover slowly, and he did not know when he could recover.

After hearing what she said, Zhou Mengyan took a sip of the red wine with a pale expression, "Then get used to it first."

In the past month, she has indeed slowly accepted the reality of blindness.

"Ok."

"Your uncle called me this afternoon. I have already talked to the school about the start of school. You will take a semester off first."

Ruan Yan studied finance. Indeed, it was inconvenient for her to start school like this, and it also caused others trouble.

What did she think of, "Did the little uncle say that I will continue..."

The girl's voice became smaller, Zhou Mengyan: "What?"

"No……"

She actually wanted to ask where she was going to live in a few days, after all, she couldn't stay in Zhou Mengyan's house all the time, and if he and Ruan Ling were married, she would leave without reason.

But after thinking about it, it is not appropriate to ask Zhou Mengyan this way. It is better to ask my uncle in private.

The man looked at her expression, as if he had guessed something, and said slowly:

"Don't think about the others."

She was startled and nodded.

On the weekend two days later, in the morning, assistant Jiang Cheng came to Zhou Mengyan's villa.

After entering the hallway, the servant led him to the study on the second floor, knocked on the door, and saw the man sitting in front of the desk. The French windows next to him showed a bright view of the Lincheng River.

Jiang Cheng stepped forward and handed over the documents in the bag: "Zhou, this is the information you want."

Zhou Mengyan saw the name of "Ruan Yan" above and put it aside.

"sit down."

Jiang Cheng: "I gave the gift to Ruan's family that night. They didn't see you... Very disappointed."

The man looked at the stock market bar chart on the computer, with a lazy expression, "I guess they are not the only disappointed."

"You were very low-key when you returned home this time, but it was the Ruan family who helped you publicize it."

"Ruan Wucheng has ambitions and is incapable. Of course he can't carry it on his own."

"So now everyone is watching whether you want to make a move," Jiang Chengdao, "The Ruan family called me again last night and said they wanted to talk about the marriage, and the things they gave came out——

Ruan Wucheng and Feng Zhuang each hold 5% of the shares, plus the position of executive director."

Zhou Mengyan smiled, "The Ruan family has really lost money."

Jiang Cheng nodded: "Except for Van Moni, they can't find a decent capital to take over, and they are very confident that you will definitely consider this marriage, but there is another aspect because... the outside world has been rumored that you are The second Miss Ruan is interested."

Zhou Mengyan looked up at him.

The latter recounted what the outside world said about the banquet, including thinking that he was returning to China this time to get married. Some even said that Zhou Mengyan was about to arrive in his new year and was unmarried, waiting for Ruan Ling.

When the man heard the words, his lips curled up.

"The Ruan family's imagination is really good."

"In addition, the old lady met Feng Zhuang at a jewelry auction in France last year and left her contact information. The Ruan family should also want to impress you through the line of the old lady."

Indeed, Zhou's mother told him about the marriage before he returned to China.

Zhou Mengyan spoke for a while: "Feng Zhuang is very concerned about his little daughter."

Jiang Cheng heard what he meant and sighed with emotion: "Feng Zhuang is cruel, and the eldest daughter who has been raising for so many years, he said that he would be driven out of the house after he was driven out of the house. It is estimated that he might never wake up watching his husband lying in bed. , She is in charge of the family affairs."

Zhou Mengyan recalled the girl he saw in the heavy rain that night.

He looked at the information Jiang Cheng had brought on the desktop:

"But they don't know, Ruan Yan has a weight in his hand."

A key weight that may change Euler in the future.

After the conversation, Jiang Cheng finally asked: "Zhou, how should I reply to Ruan's family? Do I directly refuse it for you?"

Jiang Cheng could see that Zhou Mengyan was not interested in this marriage.

The man stood up, walked to the coffee machine, poured coffee beans slowly, and then spoke:

"Make an appointment with Ruan's family tonight—"

"Just talk about the marriage."

Jiang Cheng was stunned.

At night, at the entrance of Sian Dai Senior Club, Ruan Ling was sitting on the sofa in the lobby, looking at herself carefully dressed in the mirror from time to time, with sweaty palms.

"Mom, it's seven o'clock soon, why isn't Zhou Mengyan coming?"

Feng Zhuang held her hand, and Ruan Wucheng on the side spoke first: "He will definitely come tonight."

In addition to Ruan Ling, Feng Zhuang, Ruan Wucheng and his secretary, who met tonight, because they were talking privately, it was more like a family dinner.

Feng Zhuang nodded and pulled away the broken hair from her ears, "I guess it will be here soon."

Tonight’s meeting was Zhou Mengyan’s initiative to suggest that the other party would never release pigeons again.

Just one minute after seven o'clock, the box door was pushed open.

The long-awaited face finally appeared in his vision.

The man is tall and straight, with white skin and cold eyes. He is wearing a white shirt and ironed trousers. The trousers are straight and slender, and his facial features are as if he has been finely polished.

Ruan's family stood up, and Ruan Ling's heart throbbed as he looked at the man in front of him who was even more dazzling than on the phone.

"Mr. Zhou, long admired the name——"

Ruan Wucheng was the first to step forward and smiled and stretched out his hand.

Zhou Mengyan shook hands with him, "Sorry, Mr. Ruan, the road is blocked, some are late."

"No, no."

After introducing himself, Feng Zhuang quickly said, "This is my daughter, Ruan Ling. Lingling, please say hello to Mr. Zhou."

Ruan Ling spoke, Zhou Mengyan's gaze stayed on her face, and said: "I have heard of young lady before."

Doesn't this prove that the rumor was true?

The three were secretly happy.

After a few simple conversations, they were led by the waiter.

Entering the box, Ruan Wucheng just received a call from work and walked outside. Feng Zhuang saw this and said, "I'm going to the bathroom. You two can talk first."

Feng Zhuang gave his daughter a look, and then left.

There were only two people left in the box.

Zhou Mengyan picked up the high-quality Longjing he had prepared and tasted it carefully. Ruan Ling felt a little embarrassed when he saw that he didn't mean to talk to him.

She squeezed the satchel in her hand, hesitated, and laughed out:

"Mr. Zhou——"

The man looked at her.

"I saw you on my phone before. It was an interview about you. I admire you very much."

She smiled sweetly.

However, the person on the other side just responded indifferently.

Ruan Ling pursed her lips, and then asked, "Mr. Zhou, have you heard my mother talk about marriage?"

"I heard it."

"Then... what do you think?"

He looked at her: "What do you think?"

"I...I don't have any problems, and to tell you, I have a good impression of Mr. Zhou..." She smiled, "It's just that I'm still in school. If you want to get married now, I'm fine, or It’s okay to wait until I graduate from university, it’s all up to you."

When the man heard this, a smile crossed his eyes: "Do you like me?"

She was stunned, her head lightened bravely.

Putting aside all external factors, she is a girl who doesn't know anything about the world, it is difficult for her to resist an attractive man like Zhou Mengyan.

There is worship and admiration.

And Feng Zhuang told her that there is no need to hide and tweak in front of such a person, and it is more likable to open the door.

The man did not answer any more.

After Ruan Ling finished speaking, Ruan Wucheng walked in from outside, and Feng Zhuang happened to be back.

Feng Zhuang: "Mr. Zhou, you can order first."

"Come on, I can all."

"it is good."

After ordering the food, everyone was chatting. Feng Zhuang intentionally or unconsciously introduced to Zhou Mengyan all aspects of Ruan Ling's conditions. The man listened and suddenly asked: "I heard that Miss Ruan Ling has a sister?"

The few present were stunned, Feng Zhuang said: "...Yes, there is a sister."

"Why didn't the sister come?"

"Because... she is not in good health recently, so let her stay at home."

Zhou Mengyan put down his teacup with a leisurely look:

"But she doesn't come, and some things seem to be impossible to talk about."

Ruan Ling was stunned, Feng Zhuang also stunned: "It doesn't matter, this is a matter between you and Lingling, it won't matter if she comes."

The man smiled, "She is one of the parties, so why isn't she affected?"

Others present: "Party?!"

Zhou Mengyan leaned on the back of the chair, his legs folded, and looked up at the surprised three:

"I think you have misunderstood."

"I agree with the marriage, but the marriage partner is not Ruan Ling, but the other daughter of your Ruan family, Ruan Yan."
