Chapter 13 Active Proposal (1)

***

"Your mom asked me to come to your place, what do you think?"

Feng Qinglang asked her half seriously, half teasingly, "What if we actually date for a while, how about that?"

Mai Xiaomai looked at him sweatily, "Forget it, I don't think you could actually like me. I can't afford to expend energy on dating right now; I just want to find someone and get married quickly. If you're willing to marry me right now, then I'll date you!"

"No way, you're that desperate to get married?"

Feng Qinglang looked at her incredulously, "If Chen Dadao hadn't run away just now and was willing to marry you, would you have married him?"

"Yes."

Mai Xiaomai answered candidly, "As long as the person looks okay and is willing to marry me, I wouldn't mind getting married right away!"

"Then I have to think about it! I swore never to get married before I'm 35!"

Feng Qinglang had a troubled look on his face.

"If you've made up your mind in three months, and I haven't gotten married yet, then contact me."

Mai Xiaomai smiled, reaching out to call the waiter over to ask for the bill.

Feng Qinglang waved the waiter away.

The waiter hurried off.

"I'm treating for this meal, I'm asking for the bill."

Mai Xiaomai called out.

"To have you pay when dining at my own restaurant, that would make people laugh their heads off at me, Feng Qinglang."

Feng Qinglang glanced at her and said, "If you want to treat me, you can choose another restaurant next time."

"Your family owns this place?"

Mai Xiaomai asked with confusion.

The Red Rose Restaurant in A City and even the whole country, was a famous chain with an excellent reputation. It seemed that Feng Qinglang was indeed a bona fide rich second generation; no wonder his outfit, simple as it appeared, subtly revealed an extraordinary taste.

This kind of taste wasn't something that could be achieved just by having money.

"Yep. You're welcome to dine here anytime you want, it will always be on the house!"

Feng Qinglang took out a shiny gold card from his pocket, bearing the Red Rose logo, and handed it to her, "As long as you're carrying this card, you can eat for free at any Red Rose Restaurant, anywhere."

Mai Xiaomai laughed, "Are you not afraid that I'll bring my family and friends, and from then on use Red Rose as my kitchen, indulging in luxury, and bankrupt you?"

"You can do as you please, I can still afford the loss! Who made me like you so much?"

Feng Qinglang said with a generous look on his face.

"Haha!"

Hearing him say "Who made me like you so much," a phrase that someone used to say often, Mai Xiaomai's heart felt as if it was pricked by a needle, and she let out an involuntary cold laugh.

"Are you scoffing?"

Feng Qinglang noticed that her expression was a bit off and tilted his head, blinking his limpid peachy eyes, he said earnestly, "I'm serious. I've never given this gold card to anyone except two close friends of mine. You can't mock my sincerity for you. From the moment I first saw you, I sincerely thought you were interesting; I really liked you. Of course, if it comes to marriage, I still need to think about it. For one, I'm not mature enough yet, and second, you haven't moved me enough to feel an immediate urge to marry. Third, with my family's situation, getting married isn't just about me..."

Watching his eager explanation, with a hint of sincerity in his tone, Mai Xiaomai was moved and hastily said, "It was a cold laugh, but it wasn't directed at you!"

"Did my words remind you of someone that makes you want to laugh coldly?"

"Yeah."

"Then I'm relieved. I was really worried that with one cold laugh, you would take a knife and dissect me like one of those corpses."

Feng Qinglang glanced at the knife in her hand and said.
