When he pulled her into his embrace, Zhuang Shurong was a little stunned. She quickly reached out and wrapped her arms around his waist.
Mu Tangchuan tightened his arms slightly and hugged her for a while before patting her back. A deep voice was slowly heard—
“Have you been waiting for a long time? Why aren’t you waiting in the car? It’s too cold outside.”
“It’s fine. Let’s get in the car. Mother and Father have already prepared the food at home.”
Zhuang Shurong took the briefcase from his hands and pulled him along.
Mu Tangchuan looked at her anxious expression and could only smile. He also let her to pull him forward..
Zhuang Shurong’s address of Mu Yinan and Wang Hui had become Mother and Father at Wang Hui’s request. She was going to change her address soon anyway. The betrothal gifts had also been given to the Zhuang family, so it was not strange for her to change the way she addressed them now.
“Was the training quite boring?”
The driver was Zhuang Shurong. When the car drove out of the station, she also glanced at Mu Tangchuan and asked.
“Naturally, it can’t compare to the freedom outside.”
“When I went to the training in the past, I always felt that it was very boring, and the instructors were very annoying, so every time it was torture.”
Zhuang Shurong shrugged helplessly. “After the exam, this kind of honor seems to fall on me.”
“Formalism is still necessary. Just get used to it.”
“Since you’re a superior, if you can avoid this kind of thing a little less, then…”
“You might as well stand higher yourself.”
Zhuang Shurong pursed her lips into a smile and silently sped up the car.
When they returned to the Mu residence, it was already evening. The sky was a little quiet and it seemed like it was going to rain. Dinner was almost ready at home.
Zhuang Shurong helped Mu Tangchuan carry the things upstairs, and Mu Tangchuan followed behind.
‘Rustle—’
Just as she pushed the door open, a gust of cold wind blew over. Zhuang Shurong could not help but shiver, and she heard a faint sound. Listening carefully, she realized that it was already raining outside. The wind and rain swayed, and the curtains across from them were wet, the ground in front of the curtains was also wet.
“It’s raining!”
Zhuang Shurong put down the briefcase in her hand and walked to the window. She said, “It’s quite big.”
“Close the window. It’s a little cold. Otherwise, don’t go back at night. The road at the south end of the bridge is under construction. It’s not safe to take a detour.”
Mu Tangchuan also put down his luggage and walked up in a few steps.
Zhuang Shurong had just reached out to pull the curtains when her waist suddenly tightened. Immediately after, a faint warmth came from behind her. She looked down and saw that there was an extra hand on her waist.
With a swoosh, the window in front of her was closed, but the curtain was pulled to the side by him.
“You…”
Zhuang Shurong uttered these words in a low voice.
Mu Tangchuan had already put his arm around her shoulder. His gaze stopped on the glass window in front of him. “You’ll have to get used to this place sooner or later.”
“It sounds like you can’t wait for me to marry you?”
As Zhuang Shurong said this, the corners of her mouth were filled with a smile.
“Yes, of course, that will happen sooner or later. It won’t be too long.”
Mu Tangchuan did not deny it and smiled.
“Will we always treat each other respectfully?”
As Zhuang Shurong spoke, she suddenly turned her head and looked up at his handsome face. Her eyes were filled with an inquisitive seriousness.
Mu Tangchuan laughed softly. “A few days ago, Father-in-law called me and said that you don’t have much confidence in me, but I made a promise in front of him.”
“What promise?” Zhuang Shurong asked doubtfully.
“If I treat you badly, he can do whatever he wants to me,” Mu Tangchuan said plainly.
Zhuang Shurong was silent for a moment when she heard this. Then, she laughed softly and said, “But I told him that no matter what you do, I will surrender to it. After all, this path was chosen by me. You are also the choice of my life.”
Her tone was naturally very calm.
“Of course I won’t bully you.”
Mu Tangchuan laughed softly when he heard her words. He hugged her even tighter with his long arms and quietly pulled her into his embrace. He whispered into her ear, “We will definitely live a good life.”
“Mmm, I’m looking forward to it too.”
…
Following that was the busy preparations for the later stages of the wedding. Everyone was even busier than before. The guests, the banquet, and all the other details that needed attention needed to be taken care of.
Very soon, the days passed. After a cold winter rain, the weather became better, and the time for the wedding approached day by day.
Mu Tangchuan and Zhuang Shurong’s wedding was scheduled to be on New Year’s Day. The first day of the New Year, a new life, a new beginning—
On the eve of the wedding, Mu Tangchuan’s good brothers, Su Zhengxun, Zhou Zhenjun, and Gu Ting came over. Zhou Zhenjun was the best man, while Gu Ting was with the best man team.
The brothers came over to accompany Mu Tangchuan in the middle of the night. The Mu residence was also decorated with festive decorations. The living room and the handrail of the stairs were decorated with ribbons and flowers.
It had been a long time since there was such a joyous occasion in the Mu residence.
It was already late at night and everyone had almost finished decorating the house. The brothers sat on the sofa to rest while Wang Hui ordered the kitchen to bring them supper.
“Tangchuan, I really didn’t expect you to get married. Sigh, Gu Ting has a partner too and now I’m the only one left.”
Zhou Zhenjun poured a glass of wine for Mu Tangchuan and lamented, “Time passes too quickly. I clearly remembered us playing truant to go hunting in the suburbs yesterday. Now, in the blink of an eye, you’re getting married. Zhengxun’s daughter can walk soon and I’m getting old. Time is really a butcher’s knife!”
Mu Tangchuan gave him a sideways glance and casually clinked glasses with him. “You know the cruelty of time, so you should hold on tight.”
“Hold on tight? Do you think you can hold on tight? I’ve been really annoyed recently. If it weren’t for your wedding, I would have gone out with them for special training.”
Zhou Zhenjun’s tone was a little gloomy. “Hey, you’re not really in love with Zhuang Shurong, are you? In my opinion, she doesn’t seem to fit your aesthetic standards very well. I thought you’d only be interested in women like Mai Zi.”
“Zhenjun, what happened between me and Mai Zi was a long time ago. In the future, in front of me, I hope you’ll only mention Ah Rong’s name.”
Mu Tangchuan thought for a moment and responded.
“Tangchuan, I didn’t mean that. It’s just…”
“I know, but I’m very clear about what I want now. I’m also very clear about who will be by my side in the future. Ah Rong is someone I chose. I need to be responsible for her.”
Mu Tangchuan let out a long sigh. Up until now, although he did not understand what kind of feelings he had for Zhuang Shurong, he knew very well the responsibility he bore…
