When Mingyao learned that the marriage partner Tan Kang introduced to her was more than ten years older than her, Mingyao felt that Tan Kang was crazy about money. Even if she was not her biological daughter, she wouldn't be so deceitful.
Mingyao decided to run away, but before she could go out, Tan Kang pressed her into the car.
"Older people have experience and have more mature and clever ways of handling things..."
"He was married once when he was young, but his wife died early due to illness. Later, he focused on his career and never married..."
"Dad has cooperated with him several times. He is a man of good character. Will dad still harm you..."
Mingyao nodded with a smile on her face, but scolded this thing eight hundred times in her heart.
The car parked in front of the restaurant. The architectural style of blue bricks and black tiles gave the entire restaurant a simple and elegant atmosphere.
Mingyao thought she would see a greasy, bald man with a big belly, but she didn't expect that sitting in the private room was an elegant, middle-aged man with a tall and straight body.
His appearance is not that handsome, but his facial features are very straight, his temperament is quite comfortable, his eyes are clear and gentle, and his hair is quite thick.
Wearing a black jacket that resembles a Chinese tunic suit, one can tell at a glance that he has a body that has been exercised all year round, and he is strong and thin.
When he saw Mingyao, he was startled for a moment, then frowned and said angrily: "Old Tan! You're talking nonsense!"
Tan Kang was extremely thick-skinned and did not look embarrassed at all. He chuckled and said, "Don't brag and glare. It's not like you're trying to sell your daughter. I can trust your character... Come on, come on, sit down first." Have a meal."
After the three of them sat down, one dish after another was served. Tan Kang and the man talked for a while about business cooperation, fund stocks, golf and other topics.
Mingyao was not interested in that. She was hungry, so she ordered a bowl of rice and concentrated on eating the food on the table. To her surprise, most of the food on the table were vegetarian.
The man picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea. His fingers were clearly knuckled, and the Buddha beads on his wrist were exposed.
Mingyao stared at it for a while, and the man's eyes collided with each other. The man then pursed his lips, lowered his eyes and looked away.
Tan Kang went out to use the bathroom. Only Mingyao and the man were left on the table, and the room fell into silence.
Mingyao was almost full and took out a tissue to wipe her mouth.
The man hesitated for a while and asked, "Would you like a drink? Or juice?"
Mingyao waved her hands quickly and whispered: "No, no, no."
"Where's the dessert? The handmade ice cream here seems to be pretty good." The man added.
ice cream?
Mingyao said nothing, but his eyes lit up.
The man understood immediately and called the waiter to order an ice cream.
The waiter asked what flavor he wanted. The man looked at Mingyao. Mingyao thought about it for a while and chose chocolate and matcha.
Looking at Mingyao, who was eagerly waiting for the ice cream to come, the man smiled and sighed, he is still a child.
Tan Kang said that he wanted to introduce him to a marriage partner. He thought he was Tan Kang's friend or sister, but he didn't expect that he actually pushed his daughter out. Why was he so unreliable?
But he seems to have heard that this little girl is not his biological daughter. It seems that her treatment in the Tan family is also very average...
Thinking of this, Luo Cheng looked at Mingyao with a somewhat distressed look...
After waiting for a long time, Tan Kang didn't come back from using the toilet. A waiter opened the door and came in to convey a message, saying that Tan Kang's company had left beforehand and asked them to have a good chat.
Mingyao and Luo Cheng looked at each other, feeling helpless towards Tan Kang.
Luo Cheng had no choice but to initiate the conversation, "Your name is Mingyao, um... don't listen to your father's nonsense, I don't know what he will..."
"Anyway, I won't find a little girl with such a big age difference. You don't have to be afraid. I will take you back later..."
Mingyao now feels that he is actually quite a good person. She blinks, takes a spoonful of ice cream and puts it into her mouth, saying obediently.
"Thank you uncle."
Luo Cheng had a choked expression on his face.
After Mingyao finished eating the ice cream, the two went out together. Outside the hotel, there was a green and colorful small courtyard. What surprised Mingyao was that there were several snow-white lop-eared rabbits in the grass. Chewing the leaves.
Mingyao knelt down and gently touched the rabbit's head. The rabbit sniffed Mingyao's body and jumped into Mingyao's arms.
This rabbit must have been raised by someone. It was not light in weight and strong in strength. Mingyao was hit by it and sat down on the ground.
Luo Cheng quickly stepped forward and helped her up, "Are you okay?"
His arms were strong and strong, and he was very close, and a scent of sandalwood hit him.
Mingyao pursed her lips and turned to look at her light-colored skirt. Sure enough, it was stained.
Luo Cheng wanted to laugh a little. He looked at Mingyao now as if he were a junior, so he rubbed her hair to comfort her.
"It's okay, I'll take you to buy a skirt later -"
"Mingyao!"
A male voice called her, and the two of them were startled and followed the sound.
It turned out that Wen Jing and his elders were eating here. Because he was upset, he came out to take a breath in the middle of the meal. He actually saw Mingyao and a man standing closely together. His breath stopped and he walked over quickly.
Luo Cheng looked him over, lowered his head and asked Mingyao, "Do you know him?"
Of course he knew Wen Jing, he just said this deliberately not to give him face.
Mingyao pursed her lips and nodded, "Yeah."
Wen Jing's cold and handsome face was very ugly. She took Mingyao's wrist and left, taking her to the corner before stopping.
Turning to look at her, "Why are you with him?"
The air was quiet for a while, and the breeze gently ruffled Mingyao's hair. Wen Jing raised her hand, smoothed it gently with her fingers, and then tucked her hair behind her ears.
"It's Tan...Dad, he wants me to get married..." Mingyao lowered her head, with tears in her eyes, her voice was aggrieved, and she looked at her toes.
"Anyway, I'm not from the Tan family, so I will definitely get married..."
Hearing the news that Tan Kang was going to marry her to someone else, Wen Jing felt a sudden fire in her heart.
"You can marry me."
Mingyao raised her head and looked at him, her eyes widened in surprise: "...what?"
After blurting out those words, Wen Jing was a little stunned. She seemed to hear the sound of something falling, and her chaotic thoughts suddenly became clear, as if a fog had been lifted, and her mind became clearer.
His dark eyes looked directly at Mingyao, his face was serious, and his heart beat a little faster.
"If... you want to get married, you can marry me."
