Fu Jiuxiao was a little nervous, worried that his guess was right.
Kong Xia, in particular, kept looking at him, as if she wanted to say something but could not.
“Auntie, if you have anything to say, you can just say it. There’s no need to be shy about it.”
“Sigh, it’s not a big deal.”
Kong Xia waved her hand and suddenly looked at Fu Jiuxiao seriously,
“Theard that you and Ah Li got engaged because of your father’s matchmaking, right?”
Fu Jiuxiao nodded. His engagement with Jiang Li was indeed arranged by the Old Master. He could not lie to Kong Xia. “..”
However, when Kong Xia heard this answer, her face changed. Fu Jiuxiao wondered if he had said something wrong.
Fu Jiuxiao could not be blamed for his clumsiness in front of Kong Xia. It was the first time this president was facing his mother-in-law like this. He was afraid that if he accidentally offended his mother-in-law, his future with Jiang Li would not be blessed.
“So you and Ah Li did not know each other at the beginning, right? You got engaged right away?”
“Yes, yes”
Kong Xia was a little anxious. How could it be like this? How could they get engaged without any romantic foundation?
“Auntie, is there a problem? If there is, you can just tell me directly”
Fu Jiuxiao felt that he really could not guess his mother-in-law’s thoughts.
“Jiuxiao, you are a few years older than Li, so you should be more mature than Li in terms of social life… You have to think clearly about this marriage! You can’t risk your whole life just because of someone else’s instigation. Marriage is a big event, and you have to find someone you like!”
Fu Jiuxiao was even more confused by what Kong Xia said.
“Auntie, I know that.”
“So you like Ah Li?”
“Of course.”
How could Fu Jiuxiao not like Jiang Li? He liked her a lot, and she could not lose Jiang Li at all.
Kong Xia saw that Fu Jiuxiao did not seem to be lying, so she added on.
“So you fell in love with Li after you got engaged?”
That meant that they got married first and then fell in love. Kong Xia thought about it, and it was not impossible.
She did not expect Fu Jiuxiao to shake his head, which made Kong Xia’s heart tremble. What did he mean? Could it be that Fu Jiuxiao had just fallen in love with Jiang Li? That would npt work. This kind of relationship was not very strong.
What if he fell in love with someone for the purpose of getting married? That would not be good either. Marriage was different from falling in love. What if he regretted it after getting married?
“Auntie, I fell in love with Ah Lia long time ago.”
Every time Fu Jiuxiao mentioned Jiang Li, his eyes were as gentle as water. It was hard to imagine that those eyes belonged to the person at the top in Sea City’s business circle.
Kong Xia was shocked by Fu Jiuxiao’s words.
“Did you fall in love before you got engaged?”
Kong Xia did not care about how straightforward she was. She just wanted to confirm Fu Jiuxiao’s true feelings for Jiang Li.
Fu Jiuxiao nodded. Not many people knew about this. It could be said that only Kong Xia knew about it.
“However, didn’t you guys not know each other before?”
This was what Jiang Li had told her. When Jiang Li was in Mang City, she had said that she had not known Fu Jiuxiao for long, but they had fallen in love.
At that time, Kong Xia had thought that Jiang Li had been too hasty. How could a marriage be so easy to be with someone who took a liking to her.
She did not expect that Fu Jiuxiao had already taken a liking to Jiang Lia long time ago.
Kong Xia was a little curious.
“Did you notice our Ah Lia long time ago?”
Fu Jiuxiao nodded.
“Ah Li might not know about this either..”
