After marriage

Guqin thinks that he is not good enough for Zhou Nianyuan, this is true, Zhou Nianyuan is indeed excellent.

Guan Pan lowered his eyes.

Zhou Nianyuan is very skilled. As an illegitimate child, he can finally take the position of the head of the family. The entire Zhou family is in his hands. Looking at the entire Haicheng, he is the only one with this kind of ability.

And Guqin is also very apprehensive towards her son, both loving and hating her.

If it wasn't for Zhou Nianyuan, maybe she would have been abandoned by Zhou's father long ago.

When she was taken into the Zhou family, she was full of ambitions.

It was only when she really lived in the Zhou family that she realized that she was just a plaything.

Although she has some tricks, Zhou's father is not the only woman, and the Zhou family pays the most attention to the difference between the son and the concubine, no matter whether it is Zhou Nianyuan's grandfather or the Zhou family members, they don't take her seriously at all.

Even the servants of the Zhou family didn't take her seriously. They were polite on the surface, but they were contemptuous in their bones.

She always felt that everyone's eyes were on the top of their heads, mocking her all the time, she was inferior to concubines in ancient times, anyone could look at her sideways.

It made her very uncomfortable.

If it wasn't for Zhou Nianyuan's fighting spirit, she would have been squeezed out by the Zhou family.

She has lived in Zhou's family for more than twenty years, and she deeply understands that these aristocratic families are evil spirits who cannibalize people without spitting out their bones.

But her son has learned those methods ten to ten.

So she was very afraid of being warned by Zhou Nianyuan just now.

But she is not reconciled, she is Zhou Nianyuan's mother, why can't she be the master's son's marriage?

She couldn't let Zhou Nianyuan marry a country boy, the relatives of the Zhou family were all eyeing her, so she had to find Zhou Nianyuan a helper.

It's a pity that Zhou Nianyuan is no longer someone she can control.

Or, in fact, Zhou Nianyuan's life, she has never been in control.

Thinking of this, Guqin was discouraged for a while.

She walked out angrily, and when she passed the living room, she saw Guan Pan, she frowned slightly, and stopped.

Guan Pan was a little uncomfortable, but still subconsciously greeted: "Auntie, hello."

Guqin quickly suppressed her anger, returned to her smile, and said kindly: "You are Guan Pan, right? I haven't seen you for many years. You have grown up."

Guan Pan smiled and said, "You are still as young and beautiful as before."

His job requires dealing with leaders at all levels. Although he is taciturn, it doesn't mean he doesn't know how to speak well.

What's more, the guqin is really well maintained, at most it looks like it's in its early thirties, and when they go out with Zhou Nianyuan, some people will believe that they are siblings.

Guqin still had a smile on her face: "It's rare for you to come to Haicheng, play for a few more days, and let Nianyuan accompany you more."

Guan Pan agreed.

She smiled at him again.

She also smiled at him when she was a child, beautiful and gentle.

Now he is still smiling, but with undisguised scrutiny and superior indifference.

Guan Pan involuntarily took a step back.

Guqin turned and left.

And she herself may not realize that she hates the superficially polite way of the Zhou family, but she has already learned it, and even became that kind of person.

Guan looked forward to her back and didn't move for a long time.

When he was in a daze, Zhou Nianyuan came over and said softly, "You're up, are you resting well?"

Guan Pan regained his senses and nodded.

Zhou Nianyuan said: "The company has encountered something, and it has been dealt with, don't worry."

Guan Pan looked at him.

Zhou Nianyuan took a step forward, stood in front of him, smiled and said, "I know you are worried about me."

Guan Pan smelled the faint sandalwood fragrance on his body.

He paused and didn't speak.

Zhou Nianyuan looked at him straight, and said: "I told Uncle Wang that if you ask me about me, he will tell you."

Guan Pan met his gaze in surprise.

Zhou Nianyuan smiled lightly: "If Uncle Wang is unclear, you can go to He Jing."

Guan Pan thought for a while, he had a lot of questions, but if he really wanted to ask them, it seemed that he couldn't ask them.

He responded indiscriminately, but didn't take it to heart.

Zhou Nianyuan looked at him for a few seconds and said, "It must be boring at home, right?"

Guan Pan shook his head.

After a pause, he said, "I want to talk to you."

Zhou Nianyuan didn't seem surprised, he nodded and said, "Let's go to the lounge and have a drink."

Guan Pan naturally had no objection.

The lounge is on the top floor of the backyard, and outside the floor-to-ceiling windows is a piece of greenery, which turns out to be a golf course.

Guan Pan was silent for a moment, then said softly, "I'm sorry, I may...can't help you..."

Zhou Nianyuan watched him quietly.

Guan Pan lowered his head.

After a while, Zhou Nianyuan said slowly, "Can you tell me the reason?"

His voice is deep and hoarse, compared to the clear and crisp voice when he was young, he has more composure and self-control, and it sounds better.

Guan Pan hesitated for a moment. Of course, it was impossible to tell about his secret love for him. He only told a part of the truth: "I live in a different environment from yours. I... will hold you back..."

Zhou Nianyuan interrupted him: "I've considered this a long time ago, don't worry, only some special occasions require you to come forward, other times you can do what you like, so there is no delay... You have to know, now is the time I need You help."

Guan Pan frowned, and said, "You can find someone else..."

Zhou Nianyuan sighed: "I don't know the other old classmates very well, so I can only find you...Are you really unwilling to help me?"

Guan Pan was dumbfounded.

Zhou Nianyuan said softly: "However, you have to quit your job... This is really difficult for you."

This has nothing to do with work. He chose to repair the railway not out of love, but because his family urgently needed money.

Later, when the contract expired, he was too lazy to bother, so he renewed the contract.

After being silent for a while, Guan Pan whispered, "Sorry..."

The older he gets, the less courage he has to do something.

It's like staying by Zhou Nianyuan's side and fighting for his love.

He was afraid that the longer he and Zhou Nianyuan got along, the deeper he would get into it.

At that time, he will no longer be able to maintain a peaceful heart like before.

He would have longing, and would expect Zhou Nianyuan to reciprocate the same love... He couldn't imagine what would happen in the end, but he was sure that Zhou Nianyuan would never fall in love with him.

Zhou Nianyuan sighed softly, with obvious loss.

If he hadn't restrained himself, Guan Pan would have changed his mind and agreed to him.

The two fell silent.

At this time, a servant brought in drinks, Zhou Nianyuan's was coffee, Guan Pan's was watermelon juice.

Guan Pan couldn't help looking at Zhou Nianyuan.

He prefers freshly squeezed juice, especially watermelon, to fruit.

It's just this hobby, which he never exposed.

Maybe it's a coincidence.

Zhou Nianyuan caught his gaze, smiled at him, and said, "Since you have already decided, I won't force you. I remember that it will be your birthday in a few days, or you can leave after your birthday. The year changes quite a lot, I will show you around."

Guan Pan did not refuse.

Although he felt that Zhou Nianyuan was so busy that he might not have time to accompany him.

But it is rare for him to have the opportunity to get along with Zhou Nianyuan, he still looks forward to it, and it can be used as a memory in the future, and it will be treasured in the bottom of his heart.

After that, Zhou Nianyuan asked him about his situation in these years.

Guan Pan finished speaking in a few words.

His life and work are fixed, day after day, without any novelty and change.

Zhou Nianyuan gently turned the coffee in his hand, and said, "Then have you thought about it, you will never be able to stay on the construction site forever."

Guan Pan really didn't think about this question.

Maybe he'll save some money and travel the world.

But this was just a flash of his thoughts just now. In fact, he only thought that he would die alone, but he didn't think about the specific details.

Zhou Nianyuan looked at him and said, "You should be able to marry on a blind date and have two children..."

Guan Pan subconsciously shook his head.

Zhou Nianyuan said, "Don't you want a child?"

Guan Pan continued to shake his head.

He felt that his life was so muddled that he couldn't set a good example for his children. Whether it was test tube or adoption, he never thought about it.

Zhou Nianyuan smiled slightly: "Look, it is impossible for me to have children, how suitable we are to get married."

Returning to this topic again, Guan Pan felt that if he said it a few more times, he might really soften his heart and stay.

But Zhou Nianyuan didn't say anything further, he answered a phone call, it seemed that the company had something important to do.

He looked at Guan Pan apologetically, and said, "There is a meeting, I have to attend...we will have dinner together later, and I will ask the driver to pick you up."

Guan Pan hesitated for a while, but did not refuse.

Zhou Nianyuan took a deep look at him before leaving.
