Regretful Beijing Marriage

Jiang Yining frowned, but didn't stop walking; she just found it funny.

What does Fu Huaiyan's accident have to do with her?

Why should I take my anger out on her?

Is she someone's punching bag?

As Jiang Yining turned to walk around the two of them, Lu Yun's eyes darkened, and he stepped forward to block her path.

"Huaiyan is still in the hospital, he almost didn't make it, and you're not even going to offer any thanks? Aren't you planning to go see him?"

After being repeatedly stopped, Jiang Yining completely lost her patience, her eyes covered with a thin layer of ice.

"So what? He's alive and well, isn't he?"

"If your life is truly in danger, then it's not too late for you to come find me."

A single, casual remark enraged the two of them.

Xie Xingzhou's face turned ashen.

"Jiang Yining, you really are an ingrate, utterly cold-blooded! If Huai Yan hadn't done this to save you..."

"General Manager Jiang."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a voice.

He Sze walked over, his expression indifferent.

"Come over here, there are some issues with the experiment's progress that I need to discuss with you."

Jiang Yining nodded and followed, completely ignoring the ashen faces of the two people behind her.

Xie Xingzhou was interrupted, and his anger was trapped in his chest with nowhere to vent.

"I've never seen a woman like her before. Saving a dog would be better than saving her!"

Lu Yun Shen was also furious.

"Never mind, let's go to the hospital first."

Upon entering the conference room, He Sze got straight to the point.

"President Jiang, how is the experiment progressing? Can we speed it up further?"

Jiang Yining frowned.

"Mr. He, don't you find that question ridiculous?"

"I haven't been in charge for long. This set of precise experimental procedures is complicated and has an extremely low margin for error."

"Besides, you're a researcher yourself, so you should know that even the simplest experiment needs time to be tested."

He Sze's face was tense, but he refused to give a word.

"Three months? Can it be completed in three months?"

These words angered Jiang Yining.

"No, being too hasty will only lead to data errors and a complete collapse."

"What I want is 100% success, not a defective product that's been rushed and done carelessly."

He Sze pursed his lips. "I know this is difficult, but I still hope you can speed things up."

Jiang Yining frowned, unable to understand why He Sze was in such a hurry.

"President He, what's the rush? Didn't you accept the team's six-month stagnation before?"

"Now that I've just taken over, I'm working hard to compress the cycle. If I had to set a strict time limit, I wouldn't be able to continue this experiment."

He Sze was speechless after being confronted, and only after a long silence did he concede in a low voice.

"Okay, I understand. I was too impatient. I just wanted to see results as soon as possible. Just do it at your own pace."

"But I still want to see a breakthrough as soon as possible."

Jiang Yining didn't say anything, turned around and walked out of the conference room.

The strange feeling in my heart grew stronger and stronger.

When the experiment first started, He Sze looked relaxed.

Why the sudden rush?

Is it related to public opinion surrounding Shen Miaoyin?

Or is something big happening in three months?

Is it an industry summit?

Before Jiang Yining could figure things out, Su Zhiyan rushed over.

"Sister Ning, come quick! There's a major breakthrough in the experiment!"

These words made Jiang Yining put aside her distracting thoughts and quickly walk into the laboratory.

In the conference room, He Sze looked expressionlessly at Shen Miaoyin, who walked out from the corner.

"Shen Miaoyin, you're utterly useless; you can't even handle a man."

Shen Miaoyin's face twisted in pain.

"He Sze-ze, what are you saying now? We're in the same boat. If I fall, you won't get away with it either!"

He Sze sneered.

"Anyway, I won't be the one in a hurry. This time, Fu Huaiyan dared to publicly sever ties with you. Do you think it was you or Jiang Yining by his side at the birthday party?"

Shen Miaoyin clenched her fists, the sinister look in her eyes almost impossible to hide.

"He Sze-ze, mind your own business and stop worrying about me!"

"She couldn't survive after my dad came!"

In the evening, Jiang Yining put down her tools and stretched.

Zhou Xubai sent a message right on time.

Ningning, I'm waiting for you downstairs. Take my car.

Okay, I'll get down now.

Jiang Yining packed her things and went downstairs.

The two drove to the Starry Night Hotel.

Upon entering the store, the manager immediately and respectfully stepped forward to lead them to the same window seats with a view they had met before.

Jiang Yining sat down and pushed the menu in front of Zhou Xubai.

"Xu Bai, it's a promise that I have to treat you today. Don't be shy, order whatever you want to eat."

Zhou Xubai took the menu, a faint smile playing in his eyes.

"Don't worry, I won't be polite."

We ordered several of their signature dishes.

"Add another cold-soaked cod with lime and perilla."

Jiang Yining was somewhat surprised.

"Xu Bai, you still like to eat this?"

This dish has a unique flavor, with the refreshing sourness of lime mixed with the subtle bitterness of perilla.

It's a niche dish.

Zhou Xubai's eyes were deep and filled with a smile.

"I ordered this for you."

Jiang Yining was stunned for a moment.

How did you know I like to eat this?

Zhou Xubai's smile deepened.

"I figured it out from the few times we ate together before."

Jiang Yining couldn't help but laugh.

In all my years, besides my mother and Ji Shu, this is the third person who knows my preferences.

Zhou Xubai picked up the decanted red wine, poured it for her, and handed it to her.

"Ningning, this is the first time in all the time we've known each other that we've had a meal together, just the two of us, without talking about anything else."

"yes."

Jiang Yining also felt somewhat emotional.

One thing after another came rushing in.

Today is one of the few days she can relax.

"I've been saying I'd treat you to a meal to thank you, but I've been putting it off for so long."

The atmosphere throughout the dinner was relaxed and harmonious.

The two talked at length, feeling comfortable and at ease.

The manager glanced at the time and subtly gave the waiter a wink.

This time, we must make sure to apologize properly.

Soon, a melodious violin tune began to play.

The melody is gentle and tender.

Two waiters approached slowly, holding roses in their hands, and handed them to Jiang Yining.

The manager held a delicate velvet gift box with a respectful demeanor.

"Mr. Zhou and Ms. Jiang, this is a special apology from the hotel for our previous oversight."

"A pair of custom-made wedding rings, symbolizing lifelong companionship; we hope you two will accept them."

As soon as he finished speaking, fireworks exploded in the sky outside the window.

It is dazzling and colorful.

Above the night sky, fireworks precisely outlined Z·J.

Shining brightly, it filled the entire night.

Jiang Yining subconsciously looked up, her heart skipping a beat.

It seems that this was the matter that Ji Shu and Zhou Xubai conspired about last time.

Jiang Yining used to be able to pretend to be stupid.

but now……

She turned to look at Zhou Xubai.

The man's eyes were filled with twinkling starlight and an unconcealable tenderness.

When she approached, he didn't look away, staring intently at her, his voice low and tender.

"Ningning, we finally made up for the fireworks we couldn't set off last time."

Zhou Xubai's eyes held a myriad of emotions, both direct and passionate.

This left Jiang Yining with no way to avoid it.

He didn't want to wait any longer.

Even if I'm rejected, I still want her to know how I feel.

The surrounding diners couldn't help but turn their heads and start chattering as they watched the fireworks and the two gazing tenderly at each other.

"Propose! Propose!"

"Marry him, and you'll be happy!"
