As time flies, I only care about you

Chapter 146

On the day Lian Yaner was leaving, Tong Jiachen gave her another can of lucky stars.

As soon as the magazine was launched in September, it was out of stock in less than a week. Dai Jing flew to London to find Lian Ming, hoping that Lian Yaner could continue to work as a model for Zhang Bin's magazine.

For a long time after that, Tong Jiachen would go to the newsstand to buy women's fashion magazines that had nothing to do with him on a certain day.

six years later...

In the bustling commercial street under the night, Tong Jiale stood quietly in front of the window, looking at the graphic model advertisement inside, with a faint smile on his lips.

Back home, he couldn't wait to share the news with his family, "Mom, the spokesperson for the new season of AM perfume is Sister Yan."

"Really?" Tong Xueqian put the envelope in her hand aside, picked up the coffee on the coffee table and joked with Tong Jiale, "Be honest, do you like her?"

Tong Jiale didn't expect Tong Xueqian to ask such a question, she was taken aback and responded, "Because she is your goddaughter, my godsister, and the woman my brother likes..."

Before he finished speaking, Tong Xueqian interrupted, "Wait... who do you think your brother likes?"

Tong Jiale was startled by a slip of the tongue, and a strange flash flashed in his eyes, "Mom, didn't what I said just now were not clear enough?" After speaking, he turned and walked towards the stairs, thinking that he should dodge away as soon as possible.

What she said was really appetizing. Tong Xueqian put the coffee cup back on the coffee table, got up and chased after her, "Lele, stop for me. If you don't speak clearly today, mom won't let you sleep."

At the corner of the stairs, Tong Jiale turned around and looked at Tong Xueqian speechlessly, remembering how she stalked Tong Jiachen in the past, and decided to surrender, "Mom, just go and see the lucky star paper that brother bought."

Tong Xueqian was stunned for a moment, but she quickly realized that she took Tong Jiale's arm and walked towards the second floor with a smile.

A week later, Tong Jiale, who came back from a business trip in the United States, saw Tong Xueqian decorating the villa next door in the name of his wedding room, and almost fainted.

Tong Jiachen shouted helplessly, "Mom, do you really want me to marry Lian Yaner?"

Tong Xueqian responded with a smile, "Tongtong, because mother thinks she is very suitable for you, besides, don't you also like her very much?"

"Even if I like her, I should have the final say on whether she is suitable to be my wife?"

"You are right, but Mom thinks she is the one who can bring you happiness, not to mention that you have known each other for many years and know each other well. The reason why I did this is that I hope you don't take your father's way to detour tens of thousands of times. Mi's old way, because she is not the original mother, and you are not the original father."

Tong Jiachen was speechless for a moment. Thinking about it carefully, there is no other family that can compare to the chaos of his parents. His grandmother actually asked him to call his mother an aunt in front of outsiders. It took him many years to understand this problem. I can only blame the environment where I live is too complicated.

He even thought that if he hadn't gone through the series of family troubles, his parents might not be able to get together in the end, and he and Lele would not have come to this home.

Three months later, the atmosphere in the restaurant is relaxed and happy, with laughter from time to time.

At the dining table were Tong Hesen and Wu Jingyi who hadn't seen for a long time, and Lian Ming, Luo Yun and Lian Yaner who came back from England.

When she learned that Lian Yaner's family had moved to the villa next door, Tong Jiachen realized that she had been tricked by her mother, but there was an imperceptible smile on her face.

During the meeting, the two obediently did not reject their parents' proposal, and accepted the family's arrangement, choosing to keep a low profile on the engagement.

Lian Yaner is no longer the Lian Yaner she was 6 years ago. She admits that she still likes Tong Jiachen, but there is a difference between liking and love, and she dare not fall in love with Tong Jiachen.

Everything happened too fast, and it felt like a dream was unreal, but for the two who got engaged at the age of 22, since things happened, they naturally had another side to deal with.

Why did she agree to get engaged? For Tong Jiachen, she just wanted to find a place to leave home and enjoy a quiet place.

Lian Yan'er did not expect that when she woke up in the early morning, there was another person beside her, lying on her side and looking at her quietly, with a faint smile on her face.

"If you don't have a glass of red wine, you will be drunk. How can you continue to be a model in such a weak body?"

Lian Yan'er hurriedly covered half of her face with a quilt, and responded, "I'm not physically weak, but I just feel too uncomfortable lying in front of them."

There was a gap of a few seconds, Tong Jiachen said blankly, "Okay then, you rest, I'm leaving."

Seeing him get up, Lian Yan'er hurriedly grabbed the hem of his clothes, with a nervous expression on her face.

Tong Jiachen didn't look back, "What's wrong?"

"No... I'm just thinking... can you stay here with me until tomorrow morning...just one night..."

Tong Jiachen thought for a while, lay back on the bed, and covered half of the quilt over her body, "Well, I'll sleep here tonight."

"Are you really willing to live with me?" Lian Yan'er sat on the bed and still couldn't believe what happened.

Tong Jiachen shifted his gaze to the ceiling, "I really don't know, why are you thinking so much?"

"Then...that's because he really likes you...not to mention that we won't get married until 2 years later...we don't know if we will be together by then..."

Lian Yan'er's lack of self-confidence made Tong Jiachen feel a little speechless, thinking that the two hadn't known each other for a year or two, it's been more than 20 years, how could they still be like this.

"I don't know what to say to make you understand, isn't it obvious what I've done to you all these years?"

"But...you rejected me..."

Tong Jiachen didn't want her to think about it any longer, got up slightly, pulled her into her arms, and lay back on the bed.

After a moment of silence, Lian Yan'er lay on top of him, her face flushed red after such close contact.

"I know you like me, and what I want to say is that I won't treat you badly in the future. Don't think too much, go to sleep." Tong Jiachen pulled up the other side of the quilt and covered her body.

Although the answer was not what Lian Yaner wanted, she already felt in her heart that her years of hard work were not in vain. Tong Jiachen, a big guy who only gave lucky stars, had her in his heart, at least he didn't refuse these two times.

The time of night slipped by silently between the two of them.
