Su Peng and the woman walked one after another.
The woman turned back, waiting for him to catch up, and smiled at him, "Do you eat spicy food or not? If you want spicy, I can pick some more chili peppers to take back."
"I’m fine, I eat anything."
"Your surname is Wu?"
"Yes, my name is Wu Wenli." Wu Wenli smiled lightly, "What do you think of me?"
Su Peng had not expected she would ask so directly, and for a moment did not know how to answer, but he decided to be honest, "To be honest with you, I’m actually not ready to marry yet. You know, my mind was not well, and it was only cured last year. Because of my condition, there’s a lot I need to learn, especially knowledge-wise. I’m practically learning as I go, so for the next two years, I want to enrich my mind. As for marriage, I haven’t planned for it yet."
He had no knowledge base before, and if it weren’t for his good memory now, with his prior level of knowledge, it would have been impossible for him to take over and manage a factory.
Even now, he already felt overstrained in some areas, so he needed to make the most of the time to study, and at the same time manage the factory, so he hadn’t spare time to give.
Listening to Su Peng’s words, Wu Wenli found herself increasingly attracted to him. Such a progressive man, how could one not be moved?
"I understand how you feel, in fact, I’m not in a hurry either," Wu Wenli sneaked a glance at him, "I understand your desire to progress, you have to manage so many people, you must feel the pressure. If you are inclined, I can face it with you. I’m also planning to open a clothing store in the city soon, you know, the spending power in town is limited after all, and as everyone’s standard of living improves, many people start disliking making their clothes from purchased fabric."
"Those who like buying their own fabric are mostly older people; they think tailor-made clothes are of better quality and more durable. But the younger generation thinks clothes bought from stores are prettier, so they prefer to shop in fashion stores for new styles."
With that, she laughed, "The tailoring business also needs to keep up with the times. If the styles you make don’t keep up with the trends and aren’t liked by everyone, even if your skills are great, you won’t be liked by everyone. People’s lives are getting better, and more and more of them care about looking good, don’t you think?"
"Just like your sister and her siblings, the clothes they wear are very tasteful, letting someone tell at a glance that they either come from or have stayed in a big city." Being a tailor, particularly one with a distinct sense of style, requires keeping up with the times.
Su Peng had come out with her, originally intent on rejecting her. Between her and her, both called Lili, in his heart, he might have had feelings for that Lili.
Initially, although neither had pointed it out, indeed, both had felt something.
Indeed, people were different, that Lili had moved his heart, while the girl before him now had caught his eye.
He admitted, the woman in front of him, had lots of her own ideas.
"Wu Wenli, we can try to get to know each other, but how we end up, I can’t tell right now. Of course, if you want me to give you an answer now, I can’t do that." He didn’t want to be a scoundrel; he just didn’t want to rush.
After all, marriage is a big commitment for life, something that can’t be rushed.
That would be better for both sides, at least providing enough time for both sides to understand each other more fully.
Listening to Su Peng’s words, Wu Wenli looked at Su Peng with a smile, "Listening to you, does it mean you have someone in your heart?"
Su Peng blushed, "That’s not it, just feel that marriage is a major affair, we should both be more cautious."
That woman and he were impossible, she had almost harmed Xiaofeng, so, he needed to quench those untimely thoughts and consider getting to know suitable women instead.
"If you think the same way, it means we are on the same page. Like those who ask for approval or disapproval right at a matchmaking session, or who immediately want to set a wedding date, I find it off-putting too."
"Yes, I think two people should first become friends, hang out as friends for a while, then see if the other person is right for them."
"So it seems, we are already friends now."
Su Peng grinned sheepishly.
Both wore faint smiles on their faces as they returned.
Seeing this, their parents thought there might be a chance.
