Chapter 2143: The Love of Chuan Rong (24)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After November 11 day, the weather slowly turned cold, especially with the lingering autumn rain. The coolness in the air became even more intense.
After taking his leave, Mu Tangchuan rushed to the political party school to study. He went for half a month.
Because they had been used to the days when she was by his side, Zhuang Shurong was not used to Mu Tangchuan’s sudden leave for such a long time.
Especially when the wedding was approaching.
Communication was not very convenient at that time, so it was difficult for the two of them to communicate. It was difficult to communicate in a public place like the office, so they could only rush home every night, and the two of them spoke a few words over the phone.
Mu Tangchuan was not the kind of person who would sweet-talk. Every time he called, he would mostly say a few words of greetings.. He wanted to say something but did not know what else he could say. He just wanted to hear her say a few words.
Just like right now—
“When will you be back?”
Zhuang Shurong slowly sat down on the sofa behind her and asked.
“Not so soon. The political party school’s curriculum has been adjusted temporarily. There’s another course, so I’ll be back a few days later. Don’t worry, it won’t be too long,” Mu Tangchuan replied.
“Yes, try to pass the exam and come back as soon as possible. Father and Mother have already made the guest list. They’re just waiting for us to confirm. I’m afraid that you still need to invite a lot of friends over there. It’s better to confirm as soon as possible,” Zhuang Shurong reminded.
“Yes, I got it. I can make it in time. I’ll be back in two days.”
“Okay, I’ll wait for you. It’s quite late. I know that the lights are about to go out over there. Hurry up and take a shower and rest. It’s quite cold outside. There’s no need to come out like this to make a call, rest early.”
Zhuang Shurong turned her gaze to look out of the window. Seeing the shadow swaying on the window outside, she could not help but feel a little worried, so she reminded him.
“Mm,, you should rest early too. Remember to put on more clothes since the weather’s getting colder. I’ve gotten Ah Wen to bring you some snacks that you like. The flavor is pretty good. I think you should like it. He should be able to bring it to you tomorrow.”
Mu Tangchuan did not forget to bring her some delicious food.
“You don’t have to worry about these when you’re out. It’ll be fine if you come back early. Alright, that’s all for now. Rest early.”
“Okay.”
After the two of them said good night, Zhuang Shurong slowly hung up the phone.
It was already a little late at night. It was already very quiet outside, but Zhuang Shurong was not sleepy. It was rare that she did not have to work overtime today, so she was a little more relaxed.
The moonlight was beautiful outside. Zhuang Shurong walked down the steps in front of the door, and a desolate coldness attacked her face. She could not help but tremble slightly.
“Ah Rong? Why are you still out in this cold?”
Father Zhuang’s affectionate voice suddenly came from behind her. Zhuang Shurong turned her head and saw her father standing behind her.
“Father? Why aren’t you sleeping at this time of night?” Zhuang Shurong asked.
“I just finished dealing with official business. I saw that the lights downstairs were still on, so I came down to take a look.”
Father Zhuang walked over and stood side by side with Zhuang Shurong.
“What’s wrong? Is something on your mind?”
Seeing that Zhuang Shurong looked a little distracted, Father Zhuang asked.
Zhuang Shurong shook her head. “No, I just wanted to go out for a walk. I’ve been too busy recently, and it wasn’t easy for me to be free tonight. Now I want to calm down properly.”
“Calm down for what? You ‘re going to marry Tangchuan soon. This is a happy thing for everyone. When Tangchuan comes back from the party school, let him bring you to the Civil Affairs Bureau to settle the matter. After that, it’ll be the wedding. The timeline is quite rushed too, but everyone has arranged things very well. You, just be in charge of being the bride.”
Father Zhuang looked at Zhuang Shurong with a gentle gaze, “Are you a little nervous? I see that you and Tangchuan are getting along well. Although the marriage was a little hasty back then, the facts have proven that all of us have good taste.”
Father Zhuang was very satisfied with Mu Tangchuan.
“Father, it’s not up to me to say if it’s good now. It still depends on whether it will be the same in the future. However, even if he treats me badly, I can only surrender. After all, I was the one who decided on this path in the end.”
As Zhuang Shurong said this, a smile appeared on her face as she looked at her father.
“How could it be bad? I think Tangchuan won’t let us down. As long as it’s you, you also need to work hard to maintain your relationship. Otherwise, it’ll be difficult to maintain it on your own.”
“I know, Father! I’m not worried about my future life now. I’m just afraid that after I get married, my current lifestyle will change. After I get married, I’ll have to have children to take care of my family. I’m really worried that I’ll become like those aunties. I…”
“How can you think like that? Everyone has to go through such a step before they can be considered complete. Moreover, it’s not as complicated as you think. This actually doesn’t conflict with your career. Look at your mother. Isn’t she still busy with her career?”
Father Zhuang advised.
“But, Father…”
“This is a premarital phobia! Don’t worry. If the Mu family dares to make my precious daughter become such a person, I definitely won’t let them off!”
Father Zhuang patted Zhuang Shurong’s shoulder as he spoke, “No matter what, your parents will always be there for you. Don’t think too much. After you get married, immediately give birth to a grandson for us. When that time comes, your mother will have almost retired. We will take care of your children for you, and you will still be working at your job. No one will be able to stop you from realizing your dreams.”
Hearing this, Zhuang Shurong smiled softly. “Thank you, Father!”
…
The wedding was getting closer and closer as they waited day by day.
When Mu Tangchuan returned from his studies at the party school, it was less than a month away from the wedding. The preparations for the later stages were even busier. Moreover, Mu Tangchuan had received new work orders and was about to be transferred to the government office.
Knowing that Mu Tangchuan was coming back, Zhuang Shurong specially got off work earlier today and rushed to the train station to pick him up.
When she arrived at the train station, the entrance was naturally filled with people. Zhuang Shurong could not squeeze in and could only wait by the side.
The train could still arrive at the station on time. The moment the train doors opened, the people on the train rushed out as well. The train station was instantly crowded with people. Zhuang Shurong also stretched her neck to look inside anxiously, however, Mu Tangchuan’s figure was still nowhere to be seen.
It was not until more than half of the people who picked up the train had dispersed that the tall and tall gray figure faintly appeared in front of them.
“Tangchuan! Over Here!”
A look of surprise flashed across Zhuang Shurong’s face. She quickly stood on her tiptoes and waved at Mu Tangchuan while shouting his name—
“Over here! Tangchuan!”
