Chapter 247: Want to Get Married?

Night, Fengcheng.

Bai Shunan came out of the company and saw a black sedan parked outside.

She recognized it at a glance; it was Gu Yunting's car.

She smiled, then walked straight over, pulled open the car door, and sat inside.

Inside the car, Gu Yunting was stunned for a moment, then asked, "So proactive today?"

Usually, Bai Shunan would either come over to tease him a few times or pretend not to see him, only agreeing to get in after he drove the car alongside her for a stretch.

Bai Shunan smiled and said nothing.

"Don't need to keep your sister company today?" Gu Yunting asked.

The past few days when he asked her out, she always said she had to keep her sister company.

Bai Shunan said, "My sister went back; her husband flew here personally to pick her up this morning."

"So happy?" Gu Yunting said. "Then are you envious?"

"I don't have that kind of fate," Bai Shunan said.

Gu Yunting changed the subject: "Where do you want to go in a bit? Get a late-night snack or go home?"

Bai Shunan said, "Let's go home. I don't want to eat anything tonight; I'm too full."

"Alright, then I'll take you back."

Gu Yunting drove, and soon they arrived at the residential complex where Bai Shunan lived.

When the car stopped, Bai Shunan did not get out immediately.

Gu Yunting spoke up: "How about you invite me up to sit for a while? I haven't been to your new home yet."

Bai Shunan paused.

For a woman to invite a man upstairs to sit, surely even a fool would know what would happen next.

Yet she only hesitated for a moment before agreeing: "Fine, then you can come up."

Gu Yunting's mouth curled into a grin he couldn't close.

At home.

Because Bai Shuruo and Xiaofeng had left suddenly that morning, there were still toys Xiaofeng had left in a mess.

Bai Shunan said, "The place is a bit messy, please bear with it."

Gu Yunting, however, said, "This is the atmosphere a home should have."

There were open snacks on the coffee table, scattered toys on the floor, and the blanket on the sofa was half-fallen to the ground; these were things Bai Shuruo was supposed to tidy up, but she had to return to Beishi suddenly and didn't have the time.

Bai Shunan tidied up while saying, "You think so too?"

Gu Yunting walked in front of her, pulled her into his arms, circled her slender waist, and lowered his head, his nose brushing against hers: "A home with a child, and then a man, would be even more like a home."

Bai Shunan smiled and pushed him away: "We haven't reached that step."

He pulled her back into his arms: "No matter which step, in any case, you have already invited a wolf into your house. Don't you think the person standing in front of you is very dangerous?"

Bai Shunan smiled: "Are you sure it was me inviting a wolf into the house, or you throwing yourself into the net?"

"No matter which it is, the result is the same."

Gu Yunting gave a light push, and Bai Shunan lay back on the sofa; then, the two rolled together.

Two hours later, the battlefield moved from the sofa to the bedroom.

Like dry wood and raging fire, they burned through the last bit of heat, and then the two lay together in an embrace.

Bai Shunan didn't even have the strength to speak; she just stared blankly at the ceiling.

Gu Yunting asked her as if claiming credit: "Do you feel that my prowess hasn't diminished over the years?"

Bai Shunan said, "Suddenly a bit hungry."

"Order takeout?"

"Sure."

After lying there for a while longer, Bai Shunan went to wash her hair and bathe.

The takeout arrived, and the two ate Fengcheng stir-fried rice noodles and seafood porridge in Bai Shunan's dining room.

Gu Yunting saw a piece of green onion stuck to Bai Shunan's face; he couldn't help but take a tissue to wipe it for her. After wiping it, he said to Bai Shunan, "Nannan, why don't we get married?"

Bai Shunan paused and said, "What's so good about marriage? Once married, I'd have to have children and help you manage the household. I only want a long-term partner, or a short-term one is fine too."

Gu Yunting couldn't help but be furious: "Bai Shunan, you heartless woman."

"As if anyone else isn't heartless. Don't fall in love with me; there will be no result. If you don't want to be slept with for free, then don't come up next time."

Gu Yunting said angrily: "Fine, a partner, right? Then tell me the password to your place. From now on, I'll be at your beck and call, okay? Or, I can also come up to stay with you; whenever you have a need, you can call me anytime."

Bai Shunan finished eating, wiped her little mouth, and said: "Then you clean up the trash, I'm going to sleep first."

Gu Yunting: "..."

When Bai Shunan woke up, it was already broad daylight, and Gu Yunting was not by her side.

Presumably, he had been scared off by her proposal last night.

Bai Shunan smiled.

At the same time, she asked herself: Do I really not want to get married?

She was 32 this year. A 32-year-old woman is not old at all, but humans are very complex creatures. When young, everyone shouts about not wanting to marry, not wanting to get married, and not wanting children, but once they reach a certain age, their thoughts change again.

Just like many elderly people who dote on their grandchildren much more than they did their own children back in the day; it's not actually that the bond skips a generation, it's just that when the age is reached, the heart naturally starts to like children.

Bai Shunan went to the living room and saw Xiaofeng's toys in the living room. These toys had already been tidied up, including a little bear with its arms stretched out asking for a hug. Seeing this bear, Bai Shunan felt like she was seeing a little child.

If she were to have a child in the future, she would have one as cute as this.

Beishi.

For the past two days, Bai Shuruo has been clinging to Han Yangting, hanging onto him whenever she gets the chance, as if she were an accessory on his body.

Her voice is sweet and coquettish, calling him either "Brother Ting" or "Brother Jing."

She says that for their second child, they should name him Han Xiaojing.

Han Yangting has no choice but to indulge her; as for work and the like, it is the same if he leaves it for his subordinates to do.

Han Dongbei and Ye Caiyue always feel like they are third wheels; whenever they see the young couple, the old couple quickly hides to avoid being caught in the crossfire.

However, they finally feel at ease in their hearts now; their son and daughter-in-law have finally reconciled as before, and from now on, harmony in the family will lead to prosperity in all things.

……

Fengcheng.

Bai Shunan is at work today.

It is strange; after being tossed about for so long these past two nights, she does not feel tired at all today.

She is in the middle of a meeting when she hears a "rumble" sound coming from outside the window, which sounds like the noise of a small helicopter.

There are often small helicopters over the city; in the past, they were used to distribute flyers for advertisements, but that is now prohibited, as distributing flyers is not only bad but also disturbs the public.

However, this "rumbling" sound makes it very difficult for them to concentrate on the meeting.

"Xiao Zhang, go and close the window," Bai Shunan instructs her Secretary.

The Secretary goes to close the window, and at this moment, she suddenly freezes.

"General Manager Bai, there is writing on that aircraft!"
