Chapter 719: It’s Good to Be Single, Why Get Married?

Hearing Jiang Wei’s calm tone, one could sense some grievance.

Fang Yuqing could tell. She looked up at Jiang Wei apologetically.

“Jiang Wei,” Fang Yuqing called out to him.

Jiang Wei nodded and looked at her quietly.

Fang Yuqing said, “Jiang Wei, don’t be like this. I don’t know what to do if you say that.” In those few years, although they were engaged, they did not have any feelings for each other. Even if Fang Yuqing wanted to care about Jiang Wei, she could not find a reason.

She confessed, “I’m very embarrassed now.”

Only then did Jiang Wei retract his overly focused eyes. He looked down at the table. The table was so clean that Fang Yuqing’s shadow could be seen. Jiang Wei looked at Fang Yuqing on the table and mentioned, “There’s a gathering tonight. Are you going?”

“Huh? What gathering?”

The topic suddenly changed, and Fang Yuqing almost could not keep up.

Jiang Wei said, “Guess.”

Fang Yuqing thought about it and finally said, “Anyway, it’s not your birthday.” His birthday was in the second half of the year. It was still early.

Jiang Wei smiled. “It’s a good thing that you still remember my birthday.”

Fang Yuqing felt even more embarrassed.

Jiang Wei did not tease her anymore. He said, “It’s not a very important gathering. It’s just a gathering arranged by some of Binjiang High School’s alumni. They all went out into society after graduation. We sometimes take the time to gather.” Jiang Wei picked up his wine glass and took a sip of wine. He said, “You know, although it’s an alumni gathering, it’s actually those same people. Our circle is not big. After all, it’s filled with people we’ve heard or seen before.”

Jiang Wei had a wide social network. The Jiang family, the Fang family, and the Wu family were the three largest families in Binjiang City. No matter where he went, Jiang Wei was the focus of the crowd. He rarely attended those gatherings because there were always countless women or people who wanted to curry favor with him.

But today, he suddenly had the idea of attending the gathering.

He wanted to bring Fang Yuqing along.

Fang Yuqing thought about it and said, “I won’t be going. I don’t know many people.” She was ashamed to say that although she was a child of the Fang family, Fang Yuqing was not passionate about gatherings and socializing. When she was young, the most common thing she did was to follow behind her Brother Yusheng like a little tail. Later on, when she grew up, she was busy reading books and novels, and chasing after celebrities…

What was socializing? Fang Yuqing did not know.

Occasionally, when those families had large banquet events, Fang Yuqing would follow when Xu Pingfei dragged her there. Therefore, everyone knew Fang Yuqing, but Fang Yuqing did not know anyone else.

Therefore, Fang Yuqing was not interested when she heard Jiang Wei mention this.

Jiang Wei said, “When are you returning to France?”

“Tomorrow afternoon.”

Jiang Wei’s smile froze slightly. He asked calmly, “Why are you in such a hurry?”

“There’s nothing to do staying here.”

Jiang Wei was speechless.

“Don’t tell me you’re going to settle in France?” Jiang Wei seemed to have said it casually, but his tone was probing. After he asked, he stared at Fang Yuqing’s face, afraid that he would miss any subtle reaction from her.

Fang Yuqing thought about it seriously and actually nodded. She said, “You know that I study fashion design. I still want to be a designer in the future. France is my paradise. Perhaps I’ll stay there after graduation.”

Fang Yuqing was serious.

Jiang Wei’s breathing became gentler.

He took two sips of wine.

Putting down the wine glass, Jiang Wei asked the waiter to pour another glass. He seemed to be feeling a little uncomfortable. Fang Yuqing saw Jiang Wei pull his tie. Fang Yuqing carefully assesed the temperature of the dining room before saying, “It’s not hot. Why do you always pull your tie?”

Jiang Wei gritted his teeth and said, “I’m not hot. I’m just a little annoyed.”

“What’s annoying?”

Jiang Wei refused to say anything.

Fang Yuqing looked at the food on her plate silently. She thought to herself, “Could it be that he thinks she’s wasting his time because she’s eating too much?”

Jiang Wei simply took off his tie, folded it, and put it in his pocket. When he looked up, he saw Fang Yuqing wolfing down the plate. Jiang Wei was stunned for a moment and could not help but ask Fang Yuqing in confusion, “What are you doing? Aren’t you afraid of choking after eating so quickly?”

Fang Yuqing had meat in her mouth and her cheeks were puffed up. She was inexplicably cute.

She said, “I’ll finish eating immediately. It won’t delay you for long. Do you still have something on in the afternoon?”

Jiang Wei was silent.

He understood what Fang Yuqing meant. He felt that it was unbelievable. How low was this girl’s EQ? Why did she think that he felt irritated because she ate too slowly? Jiang Wei especially wanted to see what was in Fang Yuqing’s mind.

She was so silly. No wonder she was fooled when she was young.

Jiang Wei sighed. “Silly!”

When Fang Yuqing heard this, she was still unconvinced. She even said, “I’m not stupid. How can a fool go overseas? How can a fool learn French in a short year?”

Jiang Wei was speechless.

“Yes, you’re smart.”

Hearing Jiang Wei praise her for being smart, Fang Yuqing felt that this praise was worse than what he had said before.

Knowing that Fang Yuqing would not understand if he did not make things clear, Jiang Wei stared at Fang Yuqing for a moment before saying, “Then, are you not planning to come back in the future?”

“How could that be?” Fang Yuqing put down her knife and fork, wiped her mouth, and took a sip of wine. She held her cup and said to Jiang Wei, “My mother and brother are here. I still have a few cute nephews here. How could I not come back?”

“I still have to come back during the holidays.”

Jiang Wei was not happy to hear this.

“Then are you planning to find a French man to marry in the future?”

Fang Yuqing thought about it and said, “This is hard to say. If fate comes, I’ll grab it. If fate doesn’t come, I won’t force it. Anyway, it’s good to be single. If you’re single, you can watch anime, watch television, and read novels…” She listed a lot of benefits of being single.

In the end, she said, “Marriage is so torturous. You have to have children to cook for, children to sweep the floor for, and even bring a burden along when shopping…” She would only get married if she couldn’t think straight.

Hearing this, Jiang Wei did not know what to say.

“Other than your cute nephews, your parents, siblings, and so on, is there nothing in Binjiang City that you’re reluctant to leave… or anyone else?” When Jiang Wei asked this question, his eyes were deep and his tone was unusually serious.

Fang Yuqing did not dare to look at Jiang Wei’s serious and probing gaze.

She tilted her head and looked out of the window. “No,” she said.

Jiang Wei suddenly stood up.

“Let’s go.” His expression instantly turned much colder.

Fang Yuqing looked at Jiang Weiyi deeply.

She guessed what answer Jiang Wei wanted to hear, but Fang Yuqing felt that she might be overthinking.
