C117 Let's Think about It

Lu Chen brought Qiao Yuxi home and then called Qiao Yumeng to let her go home for dinner.

"Yuxi, Uncle Lu will personally cook tonight and let you taste Uncle Lu's cooking. How about it?" Lu Chen looked at Qiao Yuxi with a smile.

"Sure." Qiao Yuxi nodded and happily ran to the kitchen to help.

Qin Yihang stood at the door of the kitchen and watched Lu Chen busy himself. He could not help nodding. At least Qiao Yuxi and Lu Chen got along very well. Lu Chen was really good to Qiao Yumeng.

"Lu Chen." Qin Yihang took advantage of Lu Chen's free time and asked him in a low voice, "Why did you suddenly think of cooking tonight? Do you want to give Meng a surprise?"

"I..." Lu Chen hesitated for a moment and said, "I want to talk to Yumeng about the engagement."

"Engagement?" Qin Yihang was slightly stunned and nodded. "That is a good thing. I think Meng should be very happy."

These words quickly missed the table.

Lu Chen's culinary skills were very good. He cooked a whole table of dishes and they were all the dishes Qiao Yumeng liked to eat. He even avoided the taste that she did not like.

When he had his fill, Lu Chen said, "Yumeng, I have discussed with my family. My family suggested that we get engaged first. What do you think?"

Qiao Yumeng originally had a smile on her face. When she heard Lu Chen say this, the expression on her face clearly froze. Her eyes were a little flustered as she avoided it and said, "You guys eat first. I will go to the toilet."

Walking to the bathroom, Qiao Yumeng stared at herself in the mirror.

There was not a single wrinkle on her face. It did not seem much different from five years ago, but she felt her heart. She was so tired that she felt like she had experienced wind and rain.

She knew that Lu Chen was good to her, but when she heard him say that he was going to get engaged, she subconsciously wanted to run away.

Could it be that she still loved Fu Qianchen?

As this thought crossed her mind, Qiao Yumeng suddenly felt her heart tremble.

Did he treat her well? It seemed like he had never been good to her.

After Qiao Yumeng came out of the bathroom, Lu Chen did not mention this matter again. Together with Qin Yihang, they tacitly treated this matter as if it had never happened.

After dinner, Lu Chen picked up a phone and said that there was something going on at the company. Before he left, he gave Qiao Yumeng a deep look. Qiao Yumeng subconsciously dodged and hurt him.

After Lu Chen left, Qin Yihang packed up the table. He wanted to speak a few times, but he held back.

At night, Qiao Yumeng bathed Qiao Yuxi. The mother and daughter were lying on the bed. The person who took the initiative to speak was Qiao Yuxi. She asked, "Mother, don't you want to be engaged to Uncle Lu?"

"Not really..." Qiao Yumeng did not know what to say. In fact, she felt that she wanted to marry Lu Chen, but what was with those subconscious resistance?

"Mom, Uncle Lu is really good to you and he is also good to Yuxi. Yuxi wants him to be Yuxi's father." Qiao Yuxi reached out and grabbed Qiao Yumeng's hand. Her tone was very urgent.

"But... but I don't know why, but I can't accept him. Maybe it was because of the failed marriage..." Qiao Yumeng smiled bitterly.

"Then if Yuxi is saying if." Qiao Yuxi said seriously, "Mom can't accept Uncle Lu's words, but it can also be other uncles. Mom doesn't need to take Yuxi into consideration, as long as Mom likes it."

"Why did you suddenly say these things today?" Qiao Yumeng turned her head to look at Qiao Yuxi.

Although Qiao Yuxi always looked like she wanted her to marry off as soon as possible, ever since she met Fu Qianchen, she had never been like this again.

"Because Yuxi wants my mother to be happy." Qiao Yuxi buried her head in Qiao Yumeng's arms and gently rubbed it, "Yuxi does not want to be a burden to my mother. As long as my mother is happy."

"Mother is very happy now. Furthermore, you are not a burden." Qiao Yumeng raised her hand to hold Qiao Yuxi's small face. After looking at her for a while, she suddenly understood why she would say this, "Silly child. Mom did not hesitate to not agree to be engaged to Uncle Lu because of you."

"Then why? Mother does not like Uncle Lu?" Qiao Yuxi frowned.

"I like him..." At least Qiao Yumeng did not feel pressured when she was with Lu Chen. He could always prepare everything beforehand.2

"Then mom can try to get engaged to Uncle Lu. Engagement is not marriage." Qiao Yuxi reached out and wrapped her arms around Qiao Yumeng's neck. Although she still thought about Fu Qianchen in her heart, as long as Qiao Yumeng was happy, she was willing to compromise with anything.

"Alright, Mom knows." Qiao Yumeng reached out her hand and gently rubbed Qiao Yuxi's brows. This little girl was so young and would frown.

The next day when she was working at the company, Qiao Yumeng had been hesitating whether she should contact Lu Chen and take the initiative to ask him out. Then she told him that she originally wanted to get engaged.

She hesitated for a whole day until she got off work and did not make a decision. It was Cheng Nuo who called.

"Cheng Nuo." Qiao Yumeng picked up.

"We haven't eaten together for a long time. Let's eat together tonight." Cheng Nuo's voice was a little weak.

"Okay, where are we going?" Qiao Yumeng asked.

"How about..." Cheng Nuo hesitated and said, "To the South Capital?"

"The South Capital?" Qiao Yumeng was very surprised because the South Capital was a famous entertainment street in Nancheng. The men and women who went there, to put it nicely, were in pursuit of thorns and excitement. To put it bluntly, they were in search of night and love.

"I want to go and take a look."

"Why do you suddenly want to go?"

"Let's talk about it in detail when we meet."

"Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Qiao Yumeng called the car according to the location Cheng Nuo had sent. When she arrived, she found that it was really South Capital.

"What's wrong with you? Did you change your personality?" Qiao Yumeng teased Cheng Nuo.

"Don't mention it. Tan Yue and I went home yesterday. We were so upset." Cheng Nuo had a bitter look on her face.

"Did you go back with him?" she asked. How was it? Does Faang Yun like you?" Qiao Yumeng immediately started gossiping.

Maybe. " Cheng Nuo thought for a moment and said, "It was me who was arranged to sleep in the same room with Tan Yue. I was sullen."

"That's great." Qiao Yumeng held back her laughter.

"Tch!" After Cheng Nuo finished speaking, she curled her lips and said, "Forget it, forget it. Let's not talk about those unhappy things. Let's go and take a look."

Actually, even the famous Nandu was just a street bar. It was just that these bars had an extra dance floor.

After circling around for more than an hour, Cheng Nuo did not find the so-called thorns and excitement. Instead, her feet hurt.

"Come, let's go in and have a cold drink." Qiao Yumeng held back her laughter and pulled Cheng Nuo in.

After they went in, Qiao Yumeng and Cheng Nuo found a booth in the corner and sat down.

The bar here was very noisy. Qiao Yumeng and Cheng Nuo going there was no exception. They had to shout when they spoke.

"Wait!" Cheng Nuo suddenly reached out and grabbed Qiao Yumeng's hand. She pointed at a booth opposite her. A woman dressed in black dress and heavy makeup asked Qiao Yumeng, "Look at that woman. Does she look like Qiao Yurou?"
