Chapter 1919: Will You Be Destined to Be Alone?

"You aren't young anymore; have you still not solved your personal problems?"

"No, haven't you not as well?"

"That's true, I'll probably be destined to be alone for life. It's not easy for a woman who is too strong to find a partner. It's like this in your Jiangzhou, let alone in L Country, where it's even more so."

"The men in L Country all want to find the kind of virtuous wife and good mother who can stay at home and cook. A woman like me won't be wanted by anyone."

She was not telling the truth; in fact, there were quite a few people who liked her, and even more who pursued her, but she simply hadn't taken a fancy to any of them.

There was someone in her heart, so no other man could walk into it.

Although many men in L Country are chauvinistic, there are still plenty of excellent men willing to put away their chauvinism and be the man behind her if they could marry the president.

Zirui hit the nail on the head: "You are so excellent; it's not that no one wants you, but that no one is qualified to stand by your side."

Qi Shishi wanted to say that only you are the most qualified to stand by my side, but unfortunately, you are unwilling.

But what she asked out loud was: "What about you? Why aren't you looking for a girlfriend either?"

"You know, why ask when you already know the answer?"

Both of them fell silent, speechless for a long time.

Yes, they both understood in their hearts, but there were natural obstacles between them, a chasm that could not be crossed, making it very difficult for them to be together.

Qi Shishi is now the president of L Country, and the president cannot marry a foreigner.

Zirui would not leave Jiangzhou for love, and he has been promoted to Office Director at the Ministry of Commerce; he even has to report to his superiors when going abroad, let alone anything else.

The status of the two of them destined that it would be very difficult for them to be together in this lifetime.

Qi Shishi said faintly: "Back then, your parents opposed us. Now it seems they were right and very far-sighted; they knew I wouldn't become a good wife."

"It's just that you are too stubborn. You should find a girl from a family of equal status, marry and have children at the right age, and live a happy life..."

Zirui interrupted her: "Using rational thinking to analyze emotional matters is a mistake in itself. If love could be measured by logic, there wouldn't be so many lovesick men and women in this world. Even my father, a man as calm and wise as he is, once did shocking things for love back then!"

Many people are full of reason when educating others, but when they encounter their own problems, they cannot be calm at all.

Sheng Hanyu never imagined that he had kindly created an opportunity for his son and Qi Shishi to be together, yet his son was speaking "ill" of him behind his back.

"Achoo!"

"Achoo!"

He sneezed twice in a row.

Shi Youxuan asked with concern: "Did you catch a cold? Do you want me to find you a cold pill?"

Tomorrow is the day of Zihan's wedding, and the father has to go on stage to give a speech, so he cannot have a cold at this time.

Sheng Hanyu was puzzled: "That shouldn't be. I've been very careful these past few days; I shouldn't have a cold."

"If you don't have a cold, why are you sneezing?"

"Do you think someone might be speaking ill of me behind my back?"

As the saying goes, one thought, two scolded, three talked about.

Shi Youxuan mocked her husband for becoming more superstitious as he aged, believing in everything.

So, she still went to find a cold pill for her husband to take. Usually, he wouldn't need to take it and could just tough it out, but tomorrow is Zihan's wedding, so it's better to take precautions.

It was dark.

Zirui and Qi Shishi had not returned yet.

Shi Ran wanted to call Zirui to ask why they hadn't returned yet.

Qi Shishi's status is unusual; if any problem were to arise, their family could not bear the responsibility.

Just as she was about to make the call, she was stopped by her husband: "What's wrong with you? You're usually such a smart person, why are you being silly today? Didn't you see that this was specially arranged by Mom and Dad?"

"No one else is busy calling, why are you? Besides, she has so many bodyguards with her, and this is Jiangzhou, what could happen?"

A word awakened the dreamer. Shi Ran put away her phone but glared at her husband, complaining: "It's all your fault. I was quite smart, and I shouldn't have made such a low-level mistake at all. It's all from bearing your children; I've become stupid."

"Pregnancy makes one stupid for three years. I've borne you three children, so I must be stupid for nine years."

Yun Qitian accepted his fate: "Fine, it's all my fault. Wife, don't be angry anymore..."

It was originally just unreasonable trouble; she wasn't angry at all.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Zirui and Qi Shishi were sitting in the park. The sky had already darkened, and there were still many things left unsaid.

Both of them were like this; they weren't people who talked much usually, but only when they were together did they have endless things to say, as if time was never enough.

Zirui stood up and said: "It's getting late, I'll take you back."

Qi Shishi sat still and said in a low voice: "I don't want to go back. I want to be with you tonight."

Zirui:...

Shishi: "Can I?"

Could he say no?

——————————————————————————————

The next day.

Early morning.

The people of the Sheng Family got up earlier than usual. Today is the actual day of Zihan's wedding, and there are many things to be busy with, so everyone got up an hour early to have breakfast in the dining room.

Zichen had sharp eyes and noticed Zirui was missing, so he asked: "Is Zirui not up yet?"

Zihan had a complex smile: "Hardly. He wouldn't sleep in. He didn't come back at all last night."

"No way?"

"I'll bet with you, do you dare? Let's bet on that new car you bought."

Zichen thought for a moment; he couldn't take the bet.

From childhood to adulthood, whoever bet with Zihan lost more often than they won. This guy liked to joke around, but he never spoke recklessly about things he wasn't sure of.

"I'm not betting."

"Stingy."

"Just stingy."

Shi Youxuan interrupted the two of them and asked Zihan, "Did you go to his room to check?"

"Mm," Zihan admitted.

Shi Youxuan continued to ask, "Then you must have called Qi Shishi too, right?"

Zihan gave her mother a thumbs-up: "As expected of my mom, you're just so smart. That's right, I called her, but I couldn't get through either. Everyone is an adult, so even if something happened, it would only be natural..."

Shi Youxuan stopped Zihan from continuing: "Shut up, that's enough. There are children here."

Yueyue, Qi Sheng, and He Yu were all minors.

Although Shi Ran's twins and Litian's Baobao were also there, they were too young for it to matter; it wasn't appropriate to talk nonsense in front of the three older children, so Zihan shut up.

The hotel.

Sunlight shone in through the gap in the curtains, and Zirui opened his eyes, only to be held by an arm: "Sleep a little longer."

Qi Shishi pouted coquettishly, like a little girl.

Zirui kissed her cheek and said softly, "The sun is already out, it's eight in the morning. If we don't get up, we won't make it to Zihan's wedding."

This line worked; Qi Shishi sat up abruptly and hurriedly wrapped herself in the bedsheet.

"Don't look."

This appearance was completely different from her passionate, unrestrained, and proactive demeanor the previous night.
