Surprise! Love-brained Mr. Li has made his ex-girlfriend his girlfriend

Chapter 393 I want to get married

"Oh my, you really are my mother, my real mother!"

Lin Huanxi said this to Wang Yajuan, grabbed his phone and walked out, calling Li Zhen as he walked.

The phone rang several times before it was finally picked up.

Lin Huanxi hurriedly called out: "Brother, where are you now? I have something to tell you."

Li Zhen was on his way to meet Lu Xingchen. When he heard Lin Huanxi say this, he replied, "What's the matter?"

"Can we meet and talk?"

"I have something tonight so I may not be able to see you."

"Why do you have something to do every night?" Last night, he couldn't even yell, what did he want to do? Lin Huanxi wanted to curse but had to hold it in. "Then I can talk to him on the phone. What's going on between you and Brother Chen?"

Li Zhen more or less guessed what the girl was going to say, but he didn't answer for a moment.

Lin Huanxi was so anxious that he kept scratching his head. "Were you guys unhappy before Feng Qianyu got into trouble? I think Brother Chen treated you differently back then."

Li Zhen thought about it and realized that Lu Xingchen was indeed a little resistant during that period because the issue of marriage was mentioned on New Year's Eve.

"Why do you say this suddenly?"

Lin Huanxi sighed, "I just heard from my mother that she went to Brother Chen's house during the Chinese New Year and gave her several things that she had asked for in the temple!"

Li Zhen was stunned when he heard this. He really didn't know about this. No wonder Lu Xingchen looked so uncomfortable.

Lin Huanxi heard him stay silent and apologized, "I've already told her about it, but it's already happened, and she still thinks she did the right thing, saying that Second Aunt was anxious but embarrassed to urge Brother Chen, so she took the initiative to send Brother Chen a marriage or child-seeking charm on behalf of Second Aunt, and also said that it would be the most blessed for you two to get married and have a child this year. I'm really convinced."

What else could Li Zhen do except sigh in response to such concern from his elders?

Lin Huanxi: "Don't say that Brother Chen may have never seen such a thing. Even if it happened to me, I would feel a lot of pressure, okay? And I see that Brother Chen is devoted to his work and doesn't seem to have any plans to get married and have children so soon. Don't let my mother bother you. Brother, I'm so sorry about this!"

"It's okay. Auntie is just worried about me."

"Then you should explain it to Brother Chen. As for Feng Qianyu, I think you went a little too far. Unless you really want to be with her, you will only regret it if Brother Chen breaks up with you."

"I understand. I'm driving. Let's leave it at that for now." Li Zhen said and hung up the phone.

He drove the car into the restaurant where Lu Xingchen had arranged to meet him. He parked the car in the parking space and did not get out for a long time. Watching the agreed time pass by minute by minute, his cheeks tightened again and again, and finally he opened the car door.

In order to facilitate conversation, Lu Xingchen booked a small private room with a large floor-to-ceiling window on the side. Outside the window was a yard full of green plants with a pond with water lilies. There was gurgling water on the rockery in the pond. The only drawback was that the weather was not warm enough, and only a few pointed and curled buds of the water lilies in the pond were visible.

There was a knock on the door of the private room.

Looking outside the window, Lu Xingchen turned his head to look at the door. The waiter pushed the door open and Li Zhenqi's tall figure walked in. He raised his eyebrows and met Lu Xingchen's eyes.

Lu Xingchen couldn't help but hold her breath. This man had lost so much weight. Her heart ached. Perhaps she shouldn't be angry with him for the sake of her self-esteem. Under so much pressure, she should at least stand by his side, even if it was just to comfort and accompany him.

But she didn't, and felt that she was being bullied, so she didn't contact him and also blamed him for not taking the initiative to contact her.

Are all people like this? They always find reasons to blame others first, and then start to reflect on themselves.

Following Li Zhen's gaze, he saw him sitting down opposite him and couldn't help but ask, "Are you feeling well?"

Li Zhen looked at her, his face expressionless, and replied, "Very good."

Lu Xingchen clearly felt his coldness, or perhaps she was used to him trying to please her again and again and couldn't adapt to his distance.

The atmosphere suddenly became like... two people who were about to break up sitting together again and trying to reconcile. Of course, she was the one who took the initiative to propose a meeting and talk, and she was the one who wanted to reconcile today.

Although he felt a little uncomfortable, Lu Xingchen didn't mind admitting his negligence. "I'm sorry, I was impulsive and didn't take the initiative to contact you. I even wanted to wait for you to take the initiative to find me."

Her apology made Li Zhen frown and his Adam's apple rolled up and down. He said, "No need to apologize. You have your own position, and you are on a business trip, aren't you? I understand."

I understand. His expression was still calm, so calm that Lu Xingchen couldn't help but think carefully before looking for the next topic. "Can I ask how you handled the matter with the Feng family?"

Li Zhen thought for a moment and said, "It's still being processed."

After such a long time, there was still no progress. Lu Xingchen subconsciously wanted to ask, "Do you need help?" Or, let him speak up, maybe she could provide some reference advice, but the last conversation ended in a bad mood, and they have been in a cold war ever since, so it seems inappropriate to ask again.

"About how long will it take?"

"Not sure yet."

The conversation was still stuck. Lu Xingchen looked at his calm face for a long time and realized that the problems between them were bigger than she thought.

"are you angry with me?"

"No."

"You don't look like you want to talk to me." After saying this, Lu Xingchen realized that his heart was indeed aching again, because it was indeed the case.

Li Zhen gritted his teeth and looked at her for a long time, so long that Lu Xingchen felt increasingly uneasy. He asked her, "What's the matter with you looking for me today?"

Lu Xingchen heard the sound of her heart breaking. She looked back at him for a long time, trying to see his true thoughts in his eyes, but she didn't see it.

She remembered that many years after their breakup, when she ran into him in the elevator, he was very cold, so cold that she could feel his hatred. Today, there was no hatred in his eyes, only coldness, so cold that she could not detect any affection from him.

I want to ask why this happened. It hasn't been that long and no one said they wanted to break up, right?

But she felt that it would be difficult to end the conversation if she asked this question, so she changed the subject, "You probably haven't eaten yet, I heard that the private dishes here are quite delicious, and I've always wanted to come here with you to try them."

She took the electronic menu from the table, looked down and asked, "What do you want to eat? Here are your favorite dishes..."

She didn't look up, but just told him the name of the dish. Seeing how reluctant she was, Li Zhen couldn't help but close his eyes, "Xingchen..."

He was about to speak, but Lu Xingchen paused while sliding the menu. After hesitating for a moment, she looked up at him and curled her lips slightly, "What's wrong?"

Li Zhen looked at the thin smile on her lips and whispered, "I want to get married."
