Bei Ran didn’t want to entangle with Tang Baijin over past matters, as she was always decisive. Therefore, she responded with an official tone, "May I ask Mr. Tang, as a major client of our company, what can I assist you with?"
She used the respectful term "you", naturally creating a distance between them.
To Tang Baijin, each "Mr. Tang" and "you" felt barbed.
Since it was to be handled officially, Tang Baijin, an unequivocal man, immediately said, "Plan a wedding for me!"
"No problem." Bei Ran thought it was for him and Qian Zhi Ling to get married, and strangely, she found herself neither sad nor distressed upon hearing it.
Of course, some reflection was inevitable!
After all, they had been in love six years ago. Was she not human, incapable of coldness?
Or perhaps it was only today that she could understand the meaning of the song "Love’s Price".
Maybe I will still think of him, inevitably keeping him in mind at times...
But with no more sparks in my heart, I’ll just consider him an old friend!
Seeing Bei Ran agree so straightforwardly, Tang Baijin moved closer to her and stared into her beautiful almond eyes, "It’s our wedding!"
Seeing her so surprised that she was speechless, he then strode towards the door.
"Tan..." Before Bei Ran could finish, Tang Baijin had already vanished!
Bei Ran massaged her head, what should she do?
Tang Baijin wanted to marry her, and he wanted her to plan their wedding!
And Gu Qingchen didn’t like her telling people she was Mrs. Gu!
When did life become so difficult?
Bei Ran worked until noon before leaving the office, and as soon as she stepped out, she encountered numerous curious looks.
In the cafeteria, the discussion was filled with envy and admiration:
"Have you heard? The new Bei Ran from the planning department, Tang San came looking for her as soon as he arrived..."
"Heard about that, she dealt with a neat divorce case right after arriving..."
"Right! And the unforgettable wedding of a terminal hospital patient, not only is she beautiful, but she is also talented..."
Of course, where there is praise, there is also belittlement and sarcasm:
"This woman looks like a vixen, surely she seduced young master Tang..."
"Exactly! Otherwise, why would young master Tang fancy her!"
"She’s like a toad wanting to eat swan meat, not weighing her own worth..."
Bei Ran calmly ate her lunch, completely unaffected by these mixed criticisms, and suddenly remembered Tang Yanran in the hospital, where people also said that she was a toad wanting to eat the swan meat that was Gu Qingchen.
She couldn’t help but smile, the times have really changed.
Is this truly the era where women pursue men aggressively? Men have become the ’swan meat’, and with more leftover women, they turn into the toads!
Returning home from work in the evening, Gu Qingchen told her, "There’s an academic symposium in London, I’m catching a flight tonight."
"I’ll pack right away." Bei Ran checked the weather in London, then arranged his clothing in order according to the weather conditions.
Like many times before when he traveled for work, she saw him off at the door, like a gentle and virtuous wife sending off her husband, who she revered like a god, on a long journey.
Bei Ran tiptoed and kissed Gu Qingchen’s cheek, then sent him off sweetly: "Honey, miss me!"
