Zan Guiying wore her sky blue noodle strap frock and touched her makeup. The frock reached upto her thighs. Finding a low heel strapped footwear, she descended to the stairs.
"Where are you going Yingying?" Bo Ehuang who was in the kitchen, saw her and asked.
"Going to meet Chenchen..... I won't be for dinner....." Passing, she answered and ran out of the house.
"Call a taxxiiiiiii....." Bo Ehuang reminded her.
"Aaahhh..... Oookkkaaayyyy...." She waved and ran. Her prebooked taxi is already waiting for her. She gave adress to the driver and took her phone out to play.....

Velvet Petal restaurant.
"Yingying... Glad to see you back!!" Zi Chenguang is already waiting outside for her. She tand and hugged her friend.
"How are you?!" Zan Guiying asked.
"Doing fine!! Come inside. We can talk over dinner!!" Zi Chenguang grabbed her friend's hands.
"Haa!! Okay!!" Zan Guiying smiled.
Both girls walked inside and sat in their booked seat.
"So tell me. What is weighting on your mind?! What do you want to talk to me?!" After ordering their menu Zi Chenguang asked.
"I am in a roadblock."
"What roadblock?!"
"Yesterday night grandpa gave all of us traditional cloths to wear....."
"Mm....."
"We all thought it might be for taking family photo...."
"Mmm....."
"But guess what....."
"What?!"
"We went to a restaurant..... To get me married....."
"WHAT?! GET MARRIED?!" Zi Chenguang screamed.
"Shush!! Shush!!" Looking around, Zan Guiying tried to stop Zi Chenguang from screaming.
Other customers were looking at them in a confused manner. Zan Guiying smiled awkwardly and bowed her head in a apologizing manner.
"What..... You are getting married?! But how?! Your family loves you so much!! I didn't know they could still get you married!!" Finding her posture back, Zi Chenguang asked. She was confused.
"Yes..... We all are.... Except grandpa.... He was the one who arranged this meeting."
"Oh..... Then who is the guy?!"
"Miss....." The waiter politely called them.
Both of them stopped talking. Zan Guiying nodded. And the dishes were served.
"Don't you want the wine?!" Zi Chenguang asked.
"No. I want to be clear headed in this night!!" Stopping the waiter from pouring wine, Zan Guiying said.
The waiter bowed and left.
"So tell me who is that guy?! Is it a buisness marriage like we see in dramas?!" Zi Chenguang took her wine glass and began to drink it.
"You would get shocked if I said his name."
"Oooo... So who is that?!"
Zan Guiying took a deep breath. "It's big brother Jun."
"WHAT?! A MARRIAGE WITH BROTHER LONGJUN?!" Zi Chenguang coughed and spat her drink...
"Stop screaming!! Chenchen!!" Zan Guiying stood up and covered her friend's mouth.
The other customers turned again and looked at them.
"Sorry!! Sorry!! Sorry!!" She apologized.
On other side, Zi Chenguang is struggling to speak.
"Take a deep breath Chenchen!! And calm down. Otherwise I won't take my hands!!" She reminded.
Zi Chenguang nodded and stopped struggling. Zan Guiying slowly took her hands off from Zi Chenguang's mouth.
"Soo.... You went to see the De family?! Your prospective partner was De Longjun?!" She asked again.
"Mm..... Yes....." Zan Guiying answered again.
"Ha Yingying... Your life is full of twists and turns..... If it made to be a series or a movie, it's going to be a huge hit...." Zi Chenguang sighed.
"Don't.... Chenchen..... So what do you think? I should give my answer tomorrow. Should I say yes or.... No?!"
"Why asking me?! It's your decision!!"
"Chenchen!!" Zan Guiying rolled her eyes. "You know what happened between us!!"
"Yes. I know what happened between both of you. I also know he is the person you had crush on."
"It's true..." Zan Guiying nodded.
"Tell me what happened in the meeting?!" Zi Chenguang urged.
Zan Guiying told her all the things happened at the restaurant.
"Yingying.... Let me remind you. He never said no. When he was with the family or when only both of you. So it means he is not against the marriage." Zi Chenguang pointed out. "And let me tell you my personal opinion.... You know brother Longjun. And he is your long lost crush. If it wasn't for that fight, you might even got married by now. And who wouldn't be happy to marry their crush?!"
"But.... He still didn't tell me why he fought with me!!"
"Baby..... It's past. If you want, you could ask him when both of you get settled. Or you could get into a contract marriage."
"Contract marriage?!"
"Yeah!! It's the trend now. Get on a contract marriage with him for 6 months and ask him the question when the termination period comes."
"It's my first marriage. I am not gonna waste it." Zan Guiying objected.
"Okay then... Go and marry him. He is handsome, tall and most importantly, rich. And as far as I know, he is clean. Who could resist that?! You could just enjoy him. And make him fall in love with you."
"Yes!! It's a great idea!! I decided to marry him and enjoy him and make him fall in love with me!!" Zan Guiying decided.
"Wait!! Wait!! Are you sure?! Do not decide after hearing my silly thoughts. Think carefully!!"
"Haaa.... Okay..... But what if he sees me as his sister?!"
"What sister? If he thought like that, he would have objected this marriage right away!!"
"Mmm..... It's true...."
"If you get married... What about your studies? Are you going to be a rich trophy wife?!"
"No!! I am not!!" Zan Guiying shook her head. "I am going to continue my studies."
"Good!! And if you get married, ask for a long honeymoon. You should use it to cultivate your feelings."
"Thank you Chenchen. I will decide carefully." Zan Guiying smiled.
"So... Are you clear that you don't want wine?!" Zi Chenguang gulped her third glass.
"No. Don't you remember?!"
"Yup!! Then I am drinking it and going to get wasted!!"
"What!! Chenchen!! No!!"
"What no?! One of us is sober!! So what is going to happen?!" Zi Chenguang gulped another glass.
Zan Guiying shook her head and waited for her friend to get drunk and get wasted.....
***
"Haa!!!! Chenchen!! Let me call a taxi!!" Zan Guiying grabbed her friend tightly.
Zi Chenguang is clearly drunk and swayed, putting Zan Guiying off balance.
She looked around. Waiting for a taxi.....
It was then a car stopped in front of them.
The cars window sild down.....
It was De Longjun.....
"Get in the car." He said.
"But..... Chenchen....."
"I said get in." His tone began to change.
"Oh!! Okay!!" Zan Guiying pulled Zi Chenguang with her and entered inside the car reluctantly.....
The car began to move.....
