The Perfect Hidden Marriage

\u003c!--The beginning of the chapter--\u003e 557, unrequited love 97, the reason why she wants to get married in secret

Xiao Jinghuan went to the tea room to pour water.

"Why are you dazed?"

Xi Manli walked in and saw Xiao Jinghuan distracted by the glass of pure water, not even knowing anyone was approaching.

"nothing!"

She smiled back: "I'm thinking..."

"What are you thinking about that makes you so distracted?"

Xi Manli also poured a glass of water.

"It's a troublesome thing. Hey, by the way, are you free tonight?"

"what?"

"I'll treat you to a meal. Thank you for sending me to the hospital that day, for paying me the medical bills, and for getting me the medicine. I must show my gratitude for such help."

If others treat her well, she will remember it carefully.

"Need not."

"necessary."

Seeing her persistence, Xi Manli smiled:

"Okay, you will be the host."

"Well, how about we go to the French restaurant? The one on XX Road."

"Wow, go there to eat...it's very expensive..."

When Xi Manli heard about that place, she suddenly said:

"Isn't it too expensive?"

A meal there may cost two to three thousand, which is not something that ordinary working-class people can afford.

Xiao Jinghuan touched her nose. She didn't mean to show off, but she suddenly wanted to eat something there:

"Well, my brother seems to have a stake in that restaurant. And, I have a VIP card there, which gives me a discount of 62% off. The most important thing is that the taste is very good. My brother is picky, and it is precisely because of this The food he cooked was delicious, so he invested in it. If you don't try it, I guarantee you will regret it for the rest of your life."

In order not to regret it for the rest of her life, Xi Manli nodded.

After coming out, Xiao Jinghuan went to tell Jin Changning about her plans for the evening.

"Why do you want to have dinner with Xiao Xi?"

"I have to thank people for helping me last time, right? I don't like to owe anyone favors."

Although Jin Changning was a little dissatisfied, he still agreed:

"Bring Xiao Kuang with you."

"Know."

"When you're done eating, call me. I'll pick you up."

"good."

Xi Manli originally didn't like Xiao Jinghuan.

This is probably because same-sex people repel each other.

Now, she gradually fell in love with this beautiful, generous and intelligent girl.

Although she was born into wealth, she is not squeamish and may have a somewhat laid-back air about her, but her excellence is obvious to all.

Ever since she helped Xiao Jinghuan that day, the gap between the two people had evaporated. From then on, the relationship between them became more and more relaxed and comfortable.

Because she has already looked away. Some people can only be worshiped as idols. For the sake of worship, it is childish to resent those who are close to idols.

Before, she was a little naive, but now, she has figured it out.

During the meal, Kuang Meiyun occupied a table by herself, while Xi Manli and Xiao Jinghuan sat at the same table.

Xi Manli is still very talkative and has a good way about work. After the two of them chatted about everything, Xi Manli crossed her chest and asked carefully:

"For inviting me to dinner today, it's probably more than just thanking me... I feel like you have something on your mind..."

"It's not a worry. It can only be regarded as a trouble!"

Xiao Jinghuan put down her chopsticks and thought for a moment:

"I want to ask you a question."

"For the sake of you treating me to such a delicious dinner, I will tell you everything you know."

Xi Manli agreed with a smile.

Xiao Jing raised the wine glass in her hand, organized her words, and finally asked:

"What do you think of the social phenomenon of hidden marriage?"

"Hidden marriage?"

Xi Manli was startled.

"Yes, hidden marriage. If two people who are close to each other get married, but due to some personal reasons, they do not announce their marriage to the public, do you think it is appropriate to do so? I have seen that in the film and television industry, many movie stars have chosen to hide their marriage. marriage."

Xiao Jinghuan implicitly mentioned this topic.

Xi Manli was not sure how the young lady came up with this question, but after thinking about it, she still answered:

"Originally, hiding one's marital status or disclosing one's marital status is a matter of personal preference and is not a big deal.

"Couples who have an agreement between themselves like to keep a low profile. For example, those celebrities. Some of them are afraid that announcing their marriage will affect their popularity, and some are afraid that it will attract media attention and affect their lives. They choose to get married secretly. That's their power.

"However, I personally think that since we are together, we should openly announce it to everyone. Getting married is not a shameful thing.

"Don't you think it's a sign of respect for each other to announce to the public that we are husband and wife?

"No matter who proposes this form of marriage, one party will propose it anyway. In my opinion, the one party who proposes it will do some invisible harm to the other party.

"If two people are rational and serious about getting married, then why should they make the other party unhappy? If they are not even willing to give them a name, how can they say how much they love each other? For this marriage, , and how much was invested?

"In my opinion, the party who is forced to marry in secret will definitely feel aggrieved."

Well, these words, sentence by sentence, all make sense.

Xiao Jinghuan nodded unconsciously.

So why does she insist on a secret marriage?

Hearing this, she thought about it secretly.

Probably because of uncertainty!

Once it is made public, and it is finally discovered that it is really inappropriate, and we talk about divorce, then in the eyes of the world, she will become an ex-wife and ex-husband. It is impossible to restore the relationship of brother and sister in the past.

She couldn't help but sigh: It turns out that lack of confidence was the main reason why she wanted to get married in secret!

"Why did you suddenly mention this issue?"

Xi Manli's sudden question interrupted her meditation.

"Oh, it's nothing. She's just a friend of mine. She got married. She didn't want to hold a wedding because she was playful. She wanted to have fun for a few more years, but her family pushed her hard and thought their approach was extremely irresponsible. As for me, I don’t understand, I haven’t thought about marriage yet... You are older than me, so just ask... Later, I will talk to her about what you said, maybe it can enlighten her... "

Xiao Jinghuan continued to eat food and found a reason to completely ignore this matter.

After taking two bites, she thought about her previous marriage proposal:

"By the way, Sister Xi, that classmate Xu looks pretty good. I think you two are a good match... What's going on now? Did you agree or reject?"

In the past, she would have never asked such a personal question. However, their relationship has been quite harmonious recently, and they happened to be talking about marriage, so it was natural for them to turn to this topic.

From her perspective, they seemed suitable.

That man, whether judging from his personal clothing or the words he used when proposing, was not bad.

Xi Manli smiled and cut the beef on the plate:

"Oh, I haven't replied to him yet."

"Then have you thought about how to reply?"

Xiao Jinghuan took a sip of red wine, saw the knife in her hand, and then sighed softly and continued:

"I haven't thought about it yet. I'm quite conflicted about this matter. Xiao Xiao, how about I tell you my thoughts now, and you can help me analyze what I should do next..."

"Okay, you say."

Xiao Jinghuan agreed.

"Well, that's it. Xu Chen is my classmate in high school, and he has shown kindness to me before.

"It's just that at that time, I focused on my studies and never thought about falling in love. Later, he left the small county with his parents and came to Shanghai to settle down. However, after their family came to Shanghai, their parents divorced, and he Followed his father.

"It is said that my mother had an affair, and my father did not remarry. He made a living by running a small department store. Now he helps at home, and his salary is probably not much lower than mine. I didn't ask for details. This kind of thing, It's impossible for me to ask. Are you right? When men and women are dating, it is taboo to ask about such financial matters.

"Xiao Xiao, to tell you the truth, I come from the bottom of society, and my family background is very ordinary. Originally, I shouldn't be so picky about getting married. When I meet a loyal and honest man, Just follow.

"But unfortunately, I have worked hard in Shanghai for so many years, especially after following Chairman Jin and traveling to so many places, I am quite a bit concerned about such an ordinary family background, how should I put it..."

She pondered for a moment, thinking about how to express it more tactfully without losing the connotation.

"You don't like it, don't you?"

Xiao Jinghuan helped her to say it nakedly.

Xi Manli nodded after hearing this, with a wry smile on her face: "Xiao Xiao, you are so direct."

Xiao Jinghuan grinned: "Such directness usually makes people hate you. It's so shameless. However, I've always been like this, either ignoring you or speaking directly."

"That's because you have the capital to be proud. I see that you are not afraid of offending others at all. Just like Qu Xiaoxiao in "Ode to Joy"...a sharp mouth can be really poisonous sometimes..."

Xi Manli sighed lightly.
