Zhuang Liu was overjoyed. He knew that Tan Rou didnât like to reveal their relationship in front of others, so most of the time, he wouldnât be too intimate with Tan Rou in public.
But today was different. Tan Rou had kissed him in front of so many reporters. He knew that this photo would soon be circulated by the reporters, but he didnât want to stop it from being published. He wanted the whole world to know that he loved Tan Rou and Tan Rou loved him. They were the happiest couple in the world!
âWhat are you laughing about?â Tan Rou placed a cup of hot cocoa with a lot of sugar in front of Zhuang Liu. âYouâve been smiling since you came in. Those who donât know better would think that youâve eaten some laughing candy.â
Zhuang Liuâs hand inadvertently swept across his face, and then he couldnât help but smile. âIâm happy.â
âWhat are you so happy about?â Tan Rou sat across from him. âAre you happy that you can come to the exchange meeting in advance?â
âIâm glad you kissed me in front of everyone.â Zhuang Liu touched Tan Ronâs hand and squeezed it again â I thought you didnât like to show that we love each other in front of others.â
âWe werenât engaged in the past, and I didnât want to attract attention, so I didnât like to show off in front of others. Itâs different now. Weâve even gotten our marriage certificate. Whatâs there to hide?â
âPlus, youâve seen the news on the Internet. They said that our relationship was old news and that we have broken up!â
Tan Rou used a simple and intuitive way to explain her relationship with Zhuang Liu. Not only did they not break up, but they were very much in love.
âI think that photo will be posted online soon.â Zhuang Liu said with a smile.
Tan Rou thought for a moment, then sat beside Zhuang Liu. She took out her phone and took a very blurry photo. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Zhuang Liu did not understand why she had taken such a blurry photo. He then quickly asked, âYou wanted to take a picture of us? Why didnât you tell me? I could have sat up so that you could take a good picture.â
Tan Rou smiled. âThis photo is supposed to be posted on my Weibo. Do you want to post a high-definition photo of us?â
Zhuang Liu instantly understood what Tan Rou meant. She wanted to post on Weibo that they were very loving, but she did not want others to see their faces clearly, so she took a blurry photo.
As soon as the photos were released, fewer voices were saying that they had broken up.
Tan Rou looked at the long string of blessings below and suddenly felt a warmth in her heart, but she also felt a little sad. It wasnât that he felt sad for himself but for Zhuang Liu.
If it wasnât for Tan Ronâs reluctance to hold the wedding now, Zhuang Liu wouldnât have to consider her feelings and keep a low profile in front of others. She just wanted a little more time. When she achieved more achievements, she would announce that she and Zhuang Liu were married.
Zhuang Liu was the head of the Zhuang family, while Tan Rou was only the eldest daughter of the Tao family. She had her own business, but her name still belonged to the family. She did not want to marry Zhuang Liu the eldest daughter of the Tao family. She wanted to make a name for herself and make her name known throughout the country and even the world. Then, she would marry Zhuang Liu.
She wanted to be herself first, then Zhuang Liuâs wife. Zhuang Liu also understood this, so he had been waiting for Tan Rou.
Tan Rou brought Zhuang Liu around the conference venue. As the conference had not started yet, Zhuang Liu could not visit too many products, so he looked at the products of the companies that he was interested in.
After that, Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu went to eat together. Since both of them were busy, they didnât have the time to cook by themselves at home.
âItâs going to be the new year after the exchange meet. The winter this year seems to be a little colder.â
Zhuang Liu said with concern, âYouâve been running outside a lot recently. You must keep warm. Donât catch a cold.â
Tan Rou didnât care about this. She hadnât caught a cold for a long time. Moreover, she would prepare cold-prevention drinks for her family every year at the turn of the season, so she didnât have to worry about catching a cold.
âOkay, you have to keep warm too. Iâve made some drinks to prevent colds,â Tan Rou said. âHelp me pass some to your parents.â
Zhuang Liu nodded. âOf course.â
