Chapter 103
Tan Mingli thought about Tan Mingqing's matter for a long time but couldn't figure it out.
She vaguely felt that she seemed to be doing something wrong, but after thinking about it, she really couldn't figure out where she made a mistake, and she had a very headache recently.
She intends to go to Ming Qing, ask her out for a detailed talk, and ask her why she is angry or unhappy. It is better to tell her than she is confused now, and then correct it later.But Tan Mingqing has been avoiding her recently, not talking to her, and not replying to her on WeChat.
At most, it was just a routine to report some business affairs, but instead of flying like usual, she would lower her eyes and calmly call her "Tan Dong".
This made Tan Mingli helpless - she had nothing to do with her young sister.
Tan Mingli had never seen her so polite and respectful. Knowing that she was still angry with him, she could only sigh.
She still felt that Ming Qing was cuter when he lost his temper with her without any scruples.
"Tan Dong."
Tan Mingqing nodded to her, and handed over a document, "That's the basic situation, please look at the details."
"..."
Tan Mingli was still not used to her calling herself "you", so she smiled helplessly, took the document and read it for a while, then nodded gently, "You did a good job, Mingqing."
Since the second uncle's downfall, coupled with her patient reminders, Mingqing's behavior style has become much more upright, not as extreme as before, and has a faint general style.She believed that if one day she left the Tan family, Mingqing would be able to preside over the overall situation well.
Tan Mingqing didn't answer, just said "Thank you Tan Dong for your encouragement" and turned around to leave.
"Mingqing..."
Tan Mingli stood up and called her softly.
Tan Mingqing stood still.
"..."
A few days ago, Mingqing took a three-month long leave and used up all the annual leave she hadn't used since she joined the company. Tan Mingli was a little worried about her, but in the end she just didn't say anything.
Perhaps it would be best to let Mingqing go out for a walk to relax.Tan Mingli thought to herself.Mingqing has been bound by the Tan family and the Tan family for too long, and all her life has revolved around these two places.
Tan Mingli smiled very softly, and asked in a warm voice casually: "Where do you plan to go during your vacation? Do you have any plans?"
"..."
As if she didn't expect her to bypass the topic of why she asked for leave suddenly, Tan Mingqing was taken aback for a moment before answering, "I don't have any plans. Just...running around the world."
This is the truth, she did not lie to Tan Mingli.She really hasn't made any travel plans yet, she just wants to leave Jiangcheng, the place where she grew up, and go outside.
"That's fine."
Tan Mingli nodded, leaning on the desk with a calm expression, and said slowly while thinking, "If you want to go to Western Europe at that time, you can tell me. Although I have been back to China for a long time, but After all, I grew up there, more or less familiar with others, I can give you a strategy or something..."
"..."
Tan Mingqing looked at her for a while, then opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just didn't say anything.
She lowered her face and nodded, muffled, "Okay, thank you."
"Go out and have fun. It's a good thing to see the world while you are young."
Tan Mingli came over, patted her on the shoulder lightly, and smiled gently, "It's mid-September... If you take three months off, you'll probably be back at the end of the year. At that time, say Maybe I've already proposed to Xiao Shui."
Speaking of that girl, her expression was soft, and she glanced at the photo frame on the table with gentle eyes, and her whole temperament subconsciously softened, as if coated with a layer of melting light.
Ah, what kind of tone is Tan Mingli talking about?Still "while young"...as if she is as old as she is, obviously she is not yet 30 years old, and she speaks old-fashioned, just like grandpa.
Tan Mingqing held back for a while, but finally couldn't hold it back. Looking at the floor, she quickly asked in a low voice, "Are you asking for marriage? When? Did you... buy a ring?"
Is it a bit fast?
She remembered... It was only a few months ago when Tan Mingli told her about his relationship, how could it be so soon...?
Why didn't she suddenly call her "you" now?She asked too many questions, Tan Mingli smiled, shook her head, and answered one by one:
"I haven't bought it yet, I'm looking at it recently. I really don't know what kind of rings young girls like these days... I'm so picky."
"As for the time to propose... Actually, I haven't decided yet."
She rubbed her fingers thoughtfully, and said softly:
"For the time being, I think it will be my birthday this year? At the end of October. In two days, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival. My parents really want to see Xiaoshui, so I will take Xiaoshui to my house to have a look. I have also met Sister Zhihua. It can be considered that both parties have met their parents and know each other, so it's okay. It's just that I haven't visited Grandpa Zhao... This is not very good. But during the Chinese New Year this year, I should also go to the capital to meet with Xiaoshui."
She's clearly thought it through.Tan Mingqing thought.
But if you think about it carefully, that girl and Tan Mingli have known each other for more than a year, so it's not too soon.
Tan Mingqing sighed and said, "Okay, I'll make an engagement for you then."
Just think she owes Tan Mingli... She thought awkwardly.She didn't go when Tan Mingli and Shen Qingzhou got married, but this time she can participate, which is very good.
Tan Mingli seemed to be amused by her, she laughed happily, shook hands with her, and said softly:
"Have a nice holiday, Mingqing."
"Then I... wish you a smooth marriage proposal?"
After thinking about it, Tan Mingqing said softly.
"Thank you, Mingqing, for your kind words."
The beautiful and dignified woman spoke softly.
After a few days, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The water lily in the community has entered its final flowering period, and the chrysanthemums are slowly pulling out their branches. The Baiyun Folding Green plant brought back by Tan Mingli's family last year bloomed just right, and the curly petals rolled down like silver threads.
Zhao Guangshui had known for a long time that he was going to see Tan Mingli's parents today, and he had been nervous and worried since a week ago, and his anxiety reached its peak this morning.
"What should I do, Sister Pear..."
Zhao Guangshui walked around the room anxiously, sighing as he walked, "I'm so scared."
She was so afraid that she would not behave well then, and she was even more afraid that elder sister Li's parents would not like her, be dissatisfied with her or embarrass her.
After all, she is not like Sister Li, who is calm and calm no matter what she faces. If Sister Li's parents test her, she is afraid that she will be too nervous to speak.
Tan Mingli had just squeezed out the apple juice when he saw her walking around in a panic. He couldn't help feeling a little distressed, but more importantly, he thought she was cute.
Like a little hamster, she thought softly in her heart.
"Don't worry, Xiao Shui."
She softened her tone to coax her, put down the cup in her hand, opened her hand to Zhao Guangshui, and said with a smile, "Do you want to come over and give me a hug?"
Zhao Guangshui came over obediently, leaned in her arms, and wrapped her waist very naturally.
She likes to hug Sister Li, and also likes to kiss her, not necessarily a kiss with sexual meaning, but also likes the simple touch of lips.Physical touch reassures her.
A woman's skin is smooth and cool, like a fine piece of moist jade, her clavicle is delicate, and even her light blue blood vessels are beautiful.
Holding her like this, I can hear Sister Li's heartbeat...Zhao Guangshui closed his eyes as if bewitched, opened his mouth to gently bite her neck, and then sucked her collarbone, causing the woman to groan in a low voice. .
"Xiao Shui?"
Tan Mingli lowered her eyes, stretched out her hand to lift the girl's chin, and stopped her movement with a gentle voice, "I can't do it now... I'm going to see my parents in the afternoon, and I'll leave a seal. Tonight, okay?"
Her attitude was too tolerant, her hints were too gentle, her eyes were more affectionate and gentle than Chunshui, making Zhao Guangshui's ears red, she nodded, buried her cheeks in her neck, and clarified herself in a low voice:
"Actually, I didn't even think about it..."
She really didn't think about that... It's just that Sister Li is too attractive, making people want to bite or lick it, that's all.
"But I do."
Tan Mingli looked at her tenderly, and said in a low voice, "Tonight I not only want to admire the moon, but I also want to admire you, Xiao Shui."
Her seductiveness is always like this, dignified and gentle, with respectful and reserved hints, never frivolous and presumptuous, which makes people feel good.
What's the matter... Zhao Guangshui blushed completely at this moment, and said "um" in a low voice, which was regarded as an agreement.
Sister Li is really good at flirting... Did she attend some kind of cram school for flirting with girls?
After hugging her tenderly for a while, Tan Mingli held her in his arms, freed up one hand to fetch the apple juice, shook the precipitated pulp before handing it to her, and asked in a warm voice:
"Do you feel better now, Xiao Shui? Are you still nervous?"
The apple juice was sour and sweet. Zhao Guangshui took a sip, and when he heard the woman's question, he suddenly understood that Tan Mingli was helping her relax just now. He was deeply grateful, looked at the woman's face and said softly, "It's so much... …Thank you, Sister Pear.”
After hugging Sister Li for a while, she did feel less nervous and relaxed a lot.
She is so nice.Zhao Guangshui thought sweetly.
"Sister, what do you think I should wear in the afternoon?"
Zhao Guangshui has been very distressed recently. She has been thinking about this issue for several days. She said a little discouraged, "I really want to look more mature...so that I can look more suitable for you. But I look like Not stable at all."
She touched her cheek, there was no sense of lines on it, it was not at all like her mother Zhao Zhihua, soft and delicate, without showing her age, it was a very typical appearance of a beautiful girl in East Asia, pure and beautiful enough and sweet enough, but it was not the same as Stability has nothing to do with it.
She still looks very student-like until now, almost like a high school student who just finished class.
But Sister Li looked like a very dignified and stable mature woman with a charming demeanor. She was afraid that when she got together with Sister Li, she would not look like a couple, but like an older sister with a younger sister.
And, and in this situation of meeting parents, she should behave as calmly as possible, right?To look at the kind of very capable and reliable, so that Sister Li's parents can rest assured that Sister Li will be handed over to her.
But she herself doesn't seem to be very worthy of Sister Li... Zhao Guangshui thought a little dejectedly.Sister Li is already the chairman, and she is still in college, so she is nothing.
Of course, her mother is very powerful, and her grandfather is also very powerful, but that is their own achievement and has nothing to do with her. She has never been a person who would be proud of her elders' achievements.If people mentioned her ten years later, they could only think of her as Zhao Hongliang's granddaughter or Zhao Zhihua's daughter, that would be something to be ashamed of.
In short, she hasn't made her career yet, and she's not great at all.Will Sister Li's parents really be satisfied with her?
"Relax...Xiao Shui."
Tan Mingli saw her vague nervousness and apprehension, couldn't help smiling, and gently stroked her soft hair, "It's just a very common thing, don't take it too seriously, okay?"
"And today it's not the so-called mother-in-law reviewing daughter-in-law, or mother-in-law reviewing son-in-law. There is no such thing in our family, Xiao Shui."
Tan Mingli held her hand, leaned against her forehead and looked at her softly:
"I just met a very good girl and wanted to spend the rest of my life with her, so I took her home and let my parents see her too, so they could see how good my vision is, theirs How lucky my daughter is to be liked by such a good person, that's all, it has nothing to do with anything else."
"You are the most important thing, understand, Xiao Shui? So don't worry too much, okay? If you don't like it, we don't have to go."
She patiently held the girl's face, and expressed her relief in a gentle voice.
Tan Mingli smiled and lowered her face, and kissed her pink cheek:
"If you really encounter any trouble at that time, I will support you."
