Chapter 123 Ruan Liuzheng: If I want to get married now, are you willing?

The carriage fell into silence for a moment.

After a long time, Xie Qingcen slightly raised the corners of his lips, and a faint soft light appeared on his elegant eyebrows, but his eyes still fell on Ruan Liuzheng.

He opened his thin lips slightly, his eyebrows and eyes were charming, and he seemed to deliberately lengthen his tone, "I think... it is naturally necessary."

Even if Ruan Liuzheng didn't say anything, it can be seen from her aura that is very different from the past.

What's more, the content of Ruan Liuzheng and others' conversation today is still about Ruan Liuzheng's deceased grandfather, the grandfather who watched her grow up and gave her infinite care and love.

Over the years, Ruan Liuzheng has been looking for the truth, and it has become her obsession.

Today, she suddenly learned about everything, and maybe the real cause of her grandfather's death.

Any normal person, including him, would probably not be able to remain calm and without any fluctuations.

Xie Qingcen's eyes flickered, and he frowned, hiding the complex emotions in his eyes.

His warm palms consciously grasped Ruan Liuzheng, and the scorching heat was transmitted between the two through their smooth and delicate skin.

Ruan Liuzheng couldn't help but want to escape, but Xie Qingcen would never give her that opportunity.

Xie Qingcen curled his lips and smiled lightly, his eyebrows and eyes deep. "If you trust me, you can tell me your worries; if you don't trust me, then pretend to trust me and let me be your listener."

Ruan Liuzheng heard the words, and the corners of her pale pink lips twitched uncontrollably.

She was very moved when she heard the first sentence, but when she heard the second sentence, her heart felt a little...

She pursed her lips, and a hint of helplessness flashed across her beautiful eyebrows.

But she never withdrew her hand from Xie Qingcen's palm.

Although Xie Qingcen's words were a little... he was truly comforting her, and she could feel Xie Qingcen's sincerity.

Ruan Liuzheng smiled, feeling the haze in her heart dissipate a little. She opened her lips slightly and said, "Why do I feel like you are forcing me to buy something? You never thought of giving me a second choice."

She gently raised her eyes, quietly looking at Xie Qingcen's handsome face, her eyebrows flickering, "Xie Qingcen, sometimes you are so sophisticated that I feel like you are a playboy who has been immersed in the erotic world for many years."

Her eyes were smiling, her tone was relaxed, and there was a hint of playfulness between her beautiful eyebrows.

Seeing this, Xie Qingcen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He leaned back lazily, his posture upright but uninhibited.

His handsome eyebrows were slightly raised, and a faint light flashed in his eyes.

He opened his lips lightly and said, "I am honored to have such an understanding."

"But I still want to make it clear that from the time Xie was born until now, Miss Ruan is the only two women in my life. Of course, the first one is my mother, so don't misunderstand."

The smile on Ruan Liuzheng's lips suddenly froze.

Her eyes were serious, staring straight at Xie Qingcen, who suddenly changed his attitude and became serious. Her palms unconsciously tightened slightly.

She unexpectedly remembered the contents of the will document that Shen Liang gave her, and the conditions that her grandfather had specially left behind.

Her eyes moved slightly, as if she had made up some kind of decision, and the expression on her face gradually became firm.

But if you look closely, there is a hint of uneasiness.

Ruan Liuzheng took a deep breath, raised her eyes to look at Xie Qingcen, bit her lip and said, "Xie Qingcen, if I say that I want to get married now, will you accompany me to the Civil Affairs Bureau immediately?"

Xie Qingcen nodded without hesitation, "Yes, but not immediately."

The clear and smooth voice contained a sense of crispness, but it gave Ruan Liuzheng hope and disappointment.

Ruan Liuzheng's heart, which had not yet had time to jump for joy, gradually calmed down with Xie Qingcen's last words.

She pulled the corners of her lips bitterly, and as expected, she felt a little lost.

She frowned and said in a light voice, "Well, I was just joking, don't..."

However, before Ruan Liuzheng could finish her words, Xie Qingcen couldn't help but raised his hand and flicked Ruan Liuzheng's forehead with a force that was neither light nor heavy.

There was a faint smile on his lips, and his eyes were doting. "You are the one who should stop imagining things. What I mean is, have you got your ID card? Have you prepared the documents for getting the marriage certificate? And..."

Xie Qingcen turned his head to look at the sky outside, then raised his eyes to look at Ruan Liuzheng, a deep helplessness flashing in his dark eyes.

He opened his mouth and said, "It's time for the Civil Affairs Bureau to get off work. If you really want to get married, the earliest you can do it is tomorrow morning."

"I, your boyfriend, don't have the power to call on government agencies yet."

Xie Qingcen's lips curled up slightly, and a deep smile was hidden in his dark eyes. He looked straight at Ruan Liuzheng, and his tone was a little amused.

Ruan Liuzheng's face couldn't help but blush.

She lowered her head in embarrassment, avoiding Xie Qingcen's gaze embarrassedly, and a hint of annoyance flashed in her cold eyes.

But thanks to Xie Qingcen's reminder, the impulse in her heart gradually subsided, and she woke up instantly.

Ruan Liuzheng pursed her lips slightly, her eyes bright. "Let's wait a little longer. I was a little reckless just now."

Xie Qingcen shook his head slightly, his eyes deep. "Regardless of whether you were reckless or not, I still want to tell you that if you really have to, feel free to come to me."

"What I just said will always work for you."

His clear voice held a faint smile, but his tone was firm and confident.

It was strange; even though they had known each other and been together for less than half a year combined, Ruan Liuzheng's restless heart had settled, as if she had found a anchor.

Her palms unconsciously curled up, her frown slowly relaxing, her eyes brightening. "Okay, I'll keep that in mind."

...

Back at Yuelan Mansion, Xie Qingcen had dinner at Ruan Liuzheng's house as usual, but today he didn't stay long.

After helping Ruan Liuzheng clean up the dishes, he turned back to his apartment.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to take Fu Jingcheng with him.

Yuelan Huafu has a two-family structure per floor, so besides Ruan Liuzheng, this floor is occupied by Xie Qingcen's family.

And almost since he moved into Yuelan Huafu, Fu Jingcheng has been running to Xie Qingcen's house. This is not the first time he has stayed overnight at Xie Qingcen's house.

But tonight is a little different, because it was Xie Qingcen who took Fu Jingcheng away forcefully, instead of Fu Jingcheng taking the initiative to stay overnight at Xie Qingcen's house.

When he was suddenly picked up by Xie Qingcen, Fu Jingcheng was still holding the fruit that Ruan Liuzheng had just cut for him.

His big eyes like black grapes were full of confusion.

He stayed in Xie Qingcen's arms in a daze, letting Xie Qingcen carry him away.

Until Xie Qingcen put him on the soft sofa, Fu Jingcheng gradually came back to his senses. He looked at the surrounding decorations and silently put down the small bowl in his hand.

His big eyes like black grapes were slightly raised, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes.

He jumped off the sofa and stood in front of Xie Qingcen with a little anger, "I want to live with my mother today!"

He found that something was wrong with Ruan Liuzheng when he came back from school.

Although Ruan Liuzheng was a little confused in the past, she was not like today, and she seemed absent-minded in doing anything.

In the time he saw her, Ruan Liuzheng had burned a finger, broken two cups, and smashed a plate.

Fu Jingcheng came out of Ruan Liuzheng's belly, and mother and child are connected by heart.

He noticed Ruan Liuzheng's unusual mood almost instantly, so he had to go back tonight no matter what.

He wanted to accompany Ruan Liuzheng!

Fu Jingcheng's pink lips were tightly pursed into a straight line, and his black and white eyes stared at Xie Qingcen, with his hands on his hips.

His expression was very dissatisfied.

Xie Qingcen crouched down, smiling, and raised his hand to pinch Fu Jingcheng's chubby cheek. His eyes arched upward, but his dark, dark eyes held a firmness that brooked no argument.

He raised his gaze slightly, his expression serious. "No! What she needs most right now is time, quiet time."

"If you go back, not only will she be taking care of you, but it will also go against your original intentions."

Xie Qingcen reached out and rubbed Fu Jingcheng's head, his clear voice tinged with a deep, earnestness.

Fu Jingcheng's eyes flickered slightly, his palms clenched tightly into fists. He took Xie Qingcen's words in, but a hint of hesitation remained.

He pursed his lips. "But..."

"Don't worry, I'm as worried about her as you are, so I won't let anything happen to her."

Before Fu Jingcheng could finish, Xie Qingcen interrupted, his eyebrows raised, and a faint glint flashed in his dark, dark eyes.

Although he was speaking to Fu Jingcheng, his eyes didn't even focus on him.

His eyebrows flickered, and his handsome face was filled with an ambiguous meaning.

It was as if he could already foresee what would happen tomorrow.

...

On the other side, after Xie Qingcen and Fu Jingcheng left, Ruan Liuzheng glanced at the empty living room and pulled the corner of her lip very lightly.

A touch of emotion flashed in her cold almond eyes.

Of course, she guessed the reason for Xie Qingcen's action just now. While sighing at his thoughtfulness, she couldn't help but feel a little relieved in her heart.

She was relieved that she had not chosen the wrong person.

But if she really had to make such a decisive decision to marry Xie Qingcen now, Ruan Liuzheng was still a little hesitant.

She was not confident, and she didn't know if she was ready to face the next marriage now.

Even though Ruan Lichu had suffered Bai Xunan's betrayal, when she taught Ruan Liuzheng the view of marriage, she still hoped that Ruan Liuzheng could be faithful to him.

But on this basis, she added a sentence to keep her eyes open and not give up herself for a man.

Before she met Xie Qingcen, Ruan Liuzheng's actions were completely contrary to Ruan Lichu's wishes.

Because she met Fu Yanci, she fell in love like a mother, and the only thing she could do was to be faithful to him.

But now, she met Xie Qingcen, but she began to hesitate.

After experiencing the incident with Fu Yanci, Ruan Liuzheng now didn't trust her own judgment.

She sighed softly, and then finished the last bit of work in the kitchen. After making sure that the kitchen was clean, she wiped her hands and turned to go to the study.
