While the two mothers were still lost in their stray thoughts, Chu Yuan suddenly recalled a very serious question, “Mother, Mommy, when can Sister Yan and I hold our wedding?”
Liang Mi: “In three months.”
Chu Yuan couldn’t help but shout out, “It actually takes three months!”
“Yes,” Chu Mingshuang said, “Three months from now is a very good date, right around National Day.”
Chu Yuan complained with dissatisfaction, “What kind of feudal superstition is this.”
“How is that feudal superstition? Everyone has to pick an auspicious day when getting married.”
Liang Mi: “That’s called celebrating along with the nation!”
Chu Yuan: ?
Hmph, so annoying, getting married required picking an auspicious holiday before it could happen.
What three months? She couldn’t even wait three days.
She simply felt that every day passed like a year without her relationship with Sister Yan being confirmed.
While Chu Yuan was still feeling emo because the wedding date was set so late, a message from Yan Dai arrived.
Yan Dai: At the company.
Chu Yuan instantly grew joyful. “My wife sent me a message.”
Chu Mingshuang: “You haven’t even married yet, and you’re already calling her ‘wife’ left and right?”
“I like it,” Chu Yuan smiled smugly, “We already have a marriage contract on us now, and getting married is something that can be put on the agenda anytime. It’s bound to happen sooner or later, so calling her that now is no problem.”
Liang Mi couldn’t help but smile. “Little Yuan is truly a genius of logic.”
Chu Yuan ate her breakfast while happily chatting with Yan Dai.
Chu Yuan: At the company so early?
Yan Dai: It’s not early, it’s already eight-thirty.
Chu Yuan: Sister Yan, aren’t you going to ask me what I’m doing right now?
Yan Dai: Having breakfast?
Chu Yuan: Your guess is so accurate! We have such great chemistry.
Yan Dai: It’s easy to guess.
Chu Yuan: Do you want to have lunch together today?
Chu Yuan: Giving you a chance to see me.
Yan Dai: Sure.
Chu Yuan: What do you want to eat for lunch?
Yan Dai: What about you? Up to you.
Chu Yuan: Then you make the arrangements.
She proactively pushed the arrangement for today’s lunch over to Yan Dai, which was equivalent to today’s meeting being initiated by Yan Dai, this was simply perfect.
Yan Dai: Okay.
Chu Yuan: I’ll go find you when the time comes.
Yan Dai: Good.
Chu Yuan: Looking forward to meeting you.
Chu Yuan: [Puppy loves you]
She actually very rarely initiated the use of expression packs and emoticons when chatting with other people, it was only when facing Yan Dai that she became a bit different.
She would feel somewhat unable to control her urge to do so.
Sending an expression pack and an emoticon would make her look quite cute, though she would say she was acting cute.
But the truth was, she was naturally cute.
However, what caught Chu Yuan by surprise was that Yan Dai also tossed an emoticon back over.
Yan Dai: ?
Chu Yuan: Sister Yan, what do you mean by this? Are you seducing me?
Chu Yuan: [Shy]
Of course, this time Yan Dai didn’t continue to reply to her.
Except this wasn’t important anymore either.
The important thing was that Sister Yan had actually sent her an emoticon just now.
That was Yan Dai we were talking about, the word sparing Yan Dai!
This was practically an event that could be directly recorded in the history books!
Staring at her phone, Chu Yuan couldn’t help but laugh out loud again.
Looking at how Chu Yuan looked so utterly infatuated, Liang Mi and Chu Mingshuang truly found it hard to watch.
As for Chu Yuan herself, she didn’t care one bit.
Just like that, she openly and generously fawned over her crush in front of everyone.
And that included in front of her mother and mommy, she still didn’t have the slightest reservation.
“I’m going to head out in a bit.” Chu Yuan put down her phone with a smug look.
Chu Mingshuang wasn’t surprised. “Who are you heading out to play with again?”
Chu Yuan’s life had been smooth sailing without experiencing any major trials or tribulations. Her life held no worries, every day was spent eating, sleeping, and finding friends to hang out with.
Particularly now that she had graduated from university and no longer had the worry of academic studies, Chu Yuan was even more free. Nine days out of ten, she wasn’t at home, always out wilding.
Regarding this, the two mothers had long since grown accustomed to it. If there ever came a day when Chu Yuan suddenly stayed cooped up at home and showed no desire to go out at all, that would be the time they would worry whether something had gone wrong with her.
Chu Mingshuang drank a mouthful of porridge without raising her head. “It must be finding Little Ji or Little Xue and the others again.”
Liang Mi: “When you play with Little Xue, you absolutely must not go and do dangerous activities like racing with her.”
Chu Yuan: “What are you talking about? Even if someone begged me to touch racing now, I wouldn’t touch it.”
Although for a very long period of time before this, Chu Yuan had indeed been extremely obsessed with racing, if it hadn’t been for that accident last time, she might still occasionally look for the friends she met at the racing track back then to go racing together.
It was just that that incident had left a massive shadow on her. Right now, even if someone invited her to race, she wouldn’t go.
Even if a gun were pressed directly against her forehead or a knife held straight against her neck, she wouldn’t waver one bit.
Liang Mi felt reassured; as long as it wasn’t related to racing, it was fine.
They had always employed an encouraging, free range style of education with Chu Yuan. As long as she didn’t do anything that threatened her physical health, they would basically still offer a certain level of support.
Liang Mi also lowered her head to drink porridge. “That’s fine then. Remember to come back early, and don’t drink alcohol anymore, or drink less. You need to be responsible for your own body, don’t take it for granted just because you’re still young and fail to take good care of your health…”
Here it comes, here it comes again, she was going to start nagging uncontrollably.
“I know, I know,” Chu Yuan didn’t want to listen to Liang Mi’s nagging here at all. She had heard these kinds of words an unknown number of times since she was a child, and she had long since memorized this nagging backward.
She pulled out a tissue to wipe her mouth. “I’m heading out now.”
Chu Mingshuang was puzzled. “Heading out so early? It’s not even nine o’clock yet.”
Usually, when Chu Yuan went out, it was in the afternoon. Why was she leaving so early today?
Although a big reason why Chu Yuan used to go out in the afternoon was that she slept until that time to wake up, today was just a bit abnormal, wasn’t it?
Was she going out to play for the whole day?
Furthermore, Chu Yuan looked rather impatient.
“Because I’m going out to find Tony to get a very trendy hairstyle done.” Chu Yuan smiled, already running to the entryway to change her shoes. “And I’m not simply going out to play today. I’m going out on a date today.”
The moment the words left her mouth, Chu Yuan was already gone.
The two of them only heard the door being slammed shut with a “clack.”
Chu Mingshuang couldn’t help but shake her head. “And she still says she’s not a child.”
Liang Mi also smiled. “I’ve said it before, this child has never grown up.”
But after the two of them finished laughing, they suddenly realized a very serious matter.
They looked at each other at the exact same time, saying almost in unison, “A date?!”
Then it seemed to make sense why Chu Yuan was in such a frantic rush to leave the house today.
It turned out she was eager to see her chosen girl.
Upon leaving the house, Chu Yuan went straight to find Sang Shiqing.
Sang Shiqing wasn’t a professional hairstylist, but she was a particularly amazing stylist.
She was completely different from Chu Yuan and Ji Xiran, even though she came from a wealthy background and didn’t have to worry about food or clothes, she had always pursued her dreams with immense self-discipline. Now, at only 25 years old, she was already a very famous stylist within the industry.
She was the dedicated stylist for many top-tier celebrities both domestically and internationally, and her work frequently appeared at international film festivals.
She had also been responsible for the looks of quite a few actors within their dramas.
In short, even if she weren’t a wealthy second generation, she was absolutely capable of relying on her own skills to become a wealthy first generation.
The two were able to get to know each other because Chu Yuan was good friends with a certain celebrity, and it just so happened that the celebrity changed their stylist, which happened to be swapped to Sang Shiqing. Through these interactions over time, the two of them got to know each other.
Chu Yuan then came to pester her, wanting her to style a prettier haircut for her.
Sang Shiqing was pestered by her to the point of having no options left, pulling out her script. “Little Yuan, I’m studying the script right now, I’m very busy.”
She had recently taken on a gig with a drama crew, being responsible for designing the looks of the female lead in the drama. Before this, she naturally had to study the script first.
With filming imminent, Sang Shiqing was truly busy.
Chu Yuan deployed her all-powerful coquettish act, “Sister, good sister, I’m begging you.”
Actually, on the day she picked up Yan Dai at the airport, Chu Yuan had come to find Sang Shiqing once, only to be rejected then too. Now, Chu Yuan just wanted to try one more time.
Sang Shiqing didn’t waver in the slightest. “No, I’m very busy right now.”
Chu Yuan turned into a whining machine, “Ying ying ying…”
“Are you a mosquito?” Sang Shiqing didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Chu Yuan accused her, “You still had time to go drinking yesterday!”
“Can’t I have some fun after knocking off work?” Sang Shiqing also shouted back, “You’re too good at exploiting people.”
Chu Yuan let out a sigh, no longer forcing her friend into a difficult position.
“All right, all right,” Chu Yuan was already preparing to leave.
But for some reason, Sang Shiqing suddenly softened her heart, “I’ll help you, I’ll help you.”
“You don’t need to be busy with work?” Although Chu Yuan felt happy about Sang Shiqing suddenly changing her mind, she was still afraid that her friend was forcing herself to compromise out of consideration for her feelings.
If that were the case, then she would rather not.
“Don’t worry, worst comes to worst I’ll work overtime tonight,” Sang Shiqing said. “I recently went through a breakup, so I can’t bear to see another heartbroken little ghost around me.”
Chu Yuan was incredibly shocked. “What happened between you and Sister Niannian?”
Sang Shiqing downplayed it, unwilling to say too much, “Ah, she went abroad.”
Chu Yuan’s tone became entirely emo as well. “I truly feel sorrow for you.”
The personalities of the friends around her were all quite different.
Take Ji Xiran, for example, she could like ten people in a single day. Meanwhile, Sang Shiqing could like one person for ten years.
If it were before, Chu Yuan would have comforted Sang Shiqing, telling her to switch to someone else to like.
But now, after meeting Yan Dai, Chu Yuan didn’t think that way anymore.
If one truly fell for a person, there was no way to fall for anyone else within a short period of time.
Beside her, Sang Shiqing spoke up, “Alright, alright, don’t look so emo in front of me. Do you still want to get styled and look pretty?”
“Yes, yes, yes! Thank you, Sister Shiqi. You’re simply too wonderful, Sister.” Chu Yuan clung to Sang Shiqing’s arm as she acted coquetishly. When she acted like this, she liked to call people ‘Sister’ it had already become a habit.
Sang Shiqing: ?
Chu Yuan appeared downstairs at Yan Dai’s company, dressed up beautifully.
Right now, there were only a few minutes left until twelve o’clock, by right, it was almost time to knock off work.
Chu Yuan was usually accustomed to entering and leaving her family’s company completely at will, so when she arrived here, she also wanted to stride right upstairs to find her person, only to be stopped by someone.
The front desk lady blocked her path. “Miss, you shouldn’t be someone from our company, right?”
The eldest young lady of the Chu family actually had a day where she was stopped!
Chu Yuan was a bit dazed.
The front desk lady proceeded with her routine identity check, “You are…”
Before she could finish her sentence, a cold yet pleasant voice echoed from behind them:
“My fiancée.”
