Chapter 740 - 714: Any Romance Not Aimed at Marriage Is Just Playing Around
Having picked out a pair of shoes, Fugui asked the salesperson to prepare the bill, but didn’t immediately pay. Instead, he held the receipt and took Liumei to the shop next door that sold high heels.
"I’ve heard my colleagues mention this brand during their chats; they’re quite stable and won’t tire you out. Take a look and see which style you like?"
"You... don’t mind me wearing high heels?"
"It’s normal for women to enjoy dressing up. As long as you choose shoes that are comfortable and won’t make you fall, I don’t mind women being taller than me. A man’s dignity isn’t shown through his height, and respecting a woman’s aesthetic is also a form of grace."
Hearing him say this, Liumei suddenly thought Fugui... is really handsome!
Especially compared to some people’s previous behavior; it’s as if he’s so handsome it’s unbelievable!
After buying the shoes, Fugui pulled Liumei over to the women’s clothing section.
"Fugui, there’s no need to buy clothes, right?"
"Your legs are very long and beautiful, it’s a pity not to wear dresses. My Aunt Jia is almost 50 years old and still keeps the habit of wearing dresses. My dad says that when women maintain elegance and composure, they are not only more confident but can also make the world more pleasing to the eye."
Liao Fugui spoke seriously, parroting the same lines his dad used to persuade his partner.
The effect was great. Liumei blushed immediately, feeling flattered again~
The salesperson immediately understood the scene and chimed in with encouragement, "Miss, you have a particularly good figure, and our store’s clothing designs are quite suitable for tall girls. Nowadays, few people have such a perfect figure as yours. Look how considerate your boyfriend is."
"He’s not—"
"Try this one!" Fugui quickly picked up some clothes and interrupted Liumei.
He’s not now, but will he not be in the future?
Maybe!
No, it should be said like this: not now, but won’t he be soon?
Fugui suddenly felt today must be a good day for confessing.
Encouraged by Liao Fugui, Liumei tried on several skirts that were just above the knee, feeling a little uneasy, but he kept encouraging her that she looked great, so Liumei happily tried them on.
While she was in the fitting room, Fugui settled the bill, and Liumei felt very embarrassed when she found out.
"How much was it? I’ll pay you back."
"It’s not much; just think of it as me sharing some joy after hitting the jackpot."
"That’s really embarrassing..." Liumei knew men’s gifts couldn’t be accepted indiscriminately, especially when Ma Lv only ever bought her a piece of ice cream after two years—one that cost fifty cents and didn’t even have cream.
"Liumei, do you like the Maldives?"
"Yes, I do."
"So... would you be willing to go with me?"
"Huh?"
"I’m saying—please be my girlfriend with marriage as the premise!"
He said it!!! Fugui’s heart was filled with firecrackers, and so was Liumei’s.
"Miss, such a nice gentleman, just accept him; we can all see he truly likes you!" The sales staff, having received good service from such a big spender, had a very good attitude.
"I’m not very good with words, but I promise I’ll treat you well, make you happy every day. Please give me a chance, okay?"
"But I’m getting married this year, is that... okay?"
Face to face with Liumei’s shy question, Comrade Fugui replied unquestioningly!
"Absolutely! Any relationship not aimed at marriage isn’t good!"
And Comrade Fugui didn’t want to be a bad person!
All these years he’s been set up on dates by his family, but it felt like something was always missing, until he saw her. Fugui understood that what he lacked was the feeling he got from Liumei!
Wanting to see her, hoping to dream of her, liking is that kind of thing that can make an uneloquent man confess, liking is what allows a thrifty man to dare to splash out money on a house, liking can change someone, and if one isn’t willing to change, it only shows that the liking isn’t strong enough.
After figuring it out, he felt enlightened.
"Say yes to him!"
"Say yes to me!"
As Liao Fugui and the salespeople spoke in unison, Liumei blushed and nodded her head; maybe it’s time to try. Sister had said it right, nobody stays unlucky forever, some things are bound to come!
Liumei returned slightly late, after coming out of the mall, she went on a date with Comrade Liao Fugui. He explained his family situation very clearly, and the two strolled along the road, chatting happily, so much so that Liumei almost forgot the pain of her recent breakup.
Returning home with a serene mood, she realized this was what love felt like. Previously, she thought that relationship seemed like child’s play in comparison.
When Liumei came in carrying several bags, Qian was sitting on the sofa with legs crossed, studying the documents Lang had given her.
Seeing Liumei come in, Qian merely raised her eyelids to glance, seeing so many things and Liumei’s blissful expression, she knew it was a success.
"You finally decided to come back? A grown woman can’t be kept home."
"Sis~"
"Tsk tsk, the voice of a woman in a new relationship really is different, so sweet?"
"Don’t laugh at me, actually I wanted to tell you, say—"
"Say you and Fugui from our family hit it off? No need to say it, Xiaoqiang asked me to tell you, he has no objections to you two, but if in the future you get married, Fugui has to follow your terms, meaning you still have to call me sis, he can’t call Fugui, Fugui."
"Huh? Even Lang knows already?" She had just agreed a few hours ago...
"Not just Lang, according to the news from our eldest sister-in-law, your parents are very satisfied with Liao Fugui, your adoptive parents are also very satisfied with him. Apparently, your dad is ready to meet his future son-in-law, and I spoke with my Uncle Liao; he’s planning to visit your home this week to discuss your relationship with Fugui."
Liumei was so shocked that she dropped her bags.
What’s... happening?
A bit confusing, how could she just agree and already her family, the Yu Family, and even Fugui’s father know?
"Let me break down the connection for you, your brother Lang highly praised your chic breakup move, and this news reached our eldest sister-in-law in less than two minutes. As soon as she knew, my mother-in-law was informed within three minutes, so your parents knew. Let’s talk about the other line now; I called my Uncle Liao, and he found out he knows your dad, so he immediately called your dad, and both families instantly hit it off."
The circle is just that big, everyone knows what each family is like, Liumei’s parents are very impressed with Fugui’s father, especially compared to the previous one, they immediately agreed. Fugui’s father had lowered his requirements to even accepting divorce with children, let alone such a wonderful girl, so they hit it off immediately.
"Right, I’ve got some explosive news for you, want to hear it?" Qian said to Liumei.
"What explosive news?" Liumei asked.
