$733 Really not
"Just please don't send these things anymore. I don't need them."
Lan Xiang pointed to the pile of gifts on the ground, then turned back to her room.
Chen Pingan walked to the balcony window and looked down.
There were not many people walking around in the community, and most people had to have a car to travel. This was the difficulty of Beijing.
He took out a cigar and opened the window at the same time, then stood by the window and lit one.
As he puffed out smoke, he seemed to hear a light cry in the room, but he stood there without moving.
Lan Xiang was not a child, so it was impossible.
More than ten minutes later, Lan Xiang came out, holding a red coat in her hands and placed it on the sofa.
Chen Pingan turned around and looked at her, "Don't you need makeup?"
Lan Xiang laughed at herself, "No, it's dry weather, just add some water, and I don't use much of the other stuff anyway.
By the way, what size shoes do you wear?"
"42."
"Well, I know, I'll prepare a pair of slippers for you when you come back in the evening."
Chen Pingan didn't say anything.
Even if Lanxiang was doing this to put on a good show, she had to accept the kindness honestly.
I just didn't know how to repay her...
He threw the cigarette butt out of the window and didn't hear Lanxiang's reproach.
When he walked to the door, he smelled the faint scent of perfume on Lanxiang.
He liked it.
Lanxiang changed her shoes, then walked back and found a larger Gucci in the pile of bags, and transferred the contents of the original bag to the new one.
"Okay, you can go now."
She looked at Chen Pingan, "Do you need me to give you a key?"
Chen Pingan shook his head hurriedly, "No, no, I haven't thought about it."
He opened the door and then opened the security door and walked out to press the elevator.
After the two got off the elevator, Lanxiang took the initiative to put her arm around his right arm.
Chen Pingan felt awkward and resisted the urge to shake him off.
Since they are a couple, they should look like a couple.
The two walked out of the community slowly, and everyone they met was a little surprised.
This couple seemed to have never seen each other before.
The man was tall and handsome.
The woman had a pretty face and a gentle demeanor.
They were both either rich or noble, and their eyes quickly moved away from them.
Of course, both of them noticed it, but neither of them mentioned it, but just walked slowly to the gate of the community.
Lanxiang said to the guard: "This is my man, don't stop him from going home in the future."
The security guard could only agree.
In fact, this matter was not necessary at all. If it was not too late, the security guard would not stop anyone.
Even if you have a car, you can drive directly from the basement entrance next to it. Who would care whether you are from this community?
Most of the property management of such communities only charges you when you go out, and they really don't care about other things.
Edwards opened the door and got out after seeing the two get in the car.
Chen Pingan said with a smile: "Go home directly, you drive."
Edwards then got back in the car, started the car and drove directly back to the courtyard.
A car following behind was parked far away at the intersection of the courtyard, and all the calls that should be made were made.
After a while, the car drove away silently.
…
When Lanxiang knew that there were still elderly people in the Chen family, she insisted on buying two sets of tea, but one was black tea and the other was the top-grade pure handmade jasmine tea.
These two things were indeed not cheap.
Chen Pingan saw that she insisted and did not stop her.
Of course, housekeeper Zhao was still very happy when he received the gift. After all, there were usually not many people coming to this courtyard, and no one dared to disturb them.
There were always a few young people in places that could not be seen.
Chen Ziang and Lanxiang sat and drank a pot of tea, and then Lanxiang got up and said goodbye.
Chen Pingan did not see her off in person, but listened to Lanxiang and let her take a taxi back by herself.
What happened in the past two days made Chen Pingan feel a little incredible.
To be honest, there was no emotional foundation between her and Lanxiang at all. Although this did not constitute any obstacle to their relationship, the progress bar was really jumping.
And Lanxiang took the initiative to hold his arm, came to the courtyard, and would be with him whenever she had time starting tomorrow. These were all the help Lanxiang gave him.
Regardless of whether he really borrowed the power of General Lan Wei, this favor was really owed.
In any case, the power of the top leader of a war zone must be respected.
Whether he is Li Yifei or Qian Jingming, this fact must be respected.
Chen Pingan held the teacup and thought about it over and over again.
Lanxiang's existence will make people afraid.
Marrying Lanxiang is indeed the best choice, but what you can give to Lanxiang is what needs to be considered.
Money is not important to Lanxiang, what should be important is the fit between the two.
Chen Pingan is quite experienced in this. If it is not the case, why did Lanxiang refuse the marriage for several years, but took the initiative to ask him to be her boyfriend...
Edwards sat on the other side of the sofa, with both legs on the sofa and a computer on his legs.
One was thinking about things, and the other was looking at the international currency market.
The room smelled of coffee and cigars, but the tea in his hand had no taste.
"What do you think if I marry Lanxiang?"
The voice of Chen Pingan suddenly emerged from the room that had been silent for a long time.
Edwards thought for a while before asking seriously, "I want to sit at the main table, is that okay?"
Chen Pingan ignored his words and continued, "I only know a general idea of her family situation, and I don't know much about the rest.
She said her whole family is in the army. What do you think will happen if I drag her to her house?"
Edwards flipped off the computer, "Then I suggest you let your whole family come back from Austria first, otherwise your sincerity is not enough."
Chen Pingan took a puff of cigar, "I just thought about it. If I really marry her, apart from emotional needs, what can the Chen family and their family get from this marriage?
What if I let my uncle come to propose marriage? Although the level is a little lower, the sincerity is definitely enough.
The main family of the Chen family is in Europe, and the domestic branch is now the main family. Let's see if we can take on some military projects and build relationships..."
"Do you like Professor Lan?" Edwards interrupted him and asked.
"This question is very serious, and it is also the basis for whether you can get married.
You have been in contact for too short a time, and it is unrealistic to say that you will get married, so if you really like her, then you should date her seriously.
Among the most precious emotions in the world, love is undoubtedly one of them."
Chen Ping'an nodded and said, "Of course I like her. I like the feeling when I am with her."
"In this case, you and I cannot leave the capital for the time being, right? Then you can go with her.
When the news reaches her family, it is time for you to visit."
Chen Ping'an smiled and shook his head, "Professor Lan's side cannot be described as a family.
It is her home.
But you are right, it is because I think too much.
Professor Lan also means that starting from tomorrow She would come to accompany me whenever she had time, even when we were doing business for those people. "
Edwards opened his eyes wide and asked in disbelief: "Really?"
"That's what she said. I will try my best to cooperate with her. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will dampen her enthusiasm."
"So tomorrow, are you going to go over there to continue watching them do business or continue our work?"
Chen Ping'an immediately shook his head and said, "No, no, no, tomorrow, we have to do what we should do.
It's October now, I will tell Li Yifei and the others that unless it's necessary, I will stay in this courtyard and not go anywhere!"
"Then... Scorpion and the others can't protect you at close range." Edwards' eyes were serious.
Chen Pingan laughed, "You underestimate the Chen family's strength in martial arts. You may not know that Grandpa Zhao was once one of the best masters in Beijing!
Besides, there are at least 20 or 30 young people in this yard, but you can only see a few of them."
Edwards suddenly said, "No, no, no, I have a better idea."
His eyes lit up, "It would be best if you could persuade Professor Lan to move in."
After a moment of silence, Chen Pingan stood up and said, "First, ask Grandpa for his opinion. If Grandpa agrees, I will ask her for her opinion.
If Grandpa agrees, I will try to let her live in the inner courtyard."
Edwards also stood up, "I suddenly forgot one thing. The gift I gave to Professor Lan this morning lacked something that she could use professionally.
I'll go buy the best brushes and paints and put them in the yard for use."
Chen Pingan stopped him with a smile, "No, this is her private matter, and I can't intervene directly.
Besides, she doesn't need the money."
...
Since Lan Xiang left, Chen Ziang has been waiting for Chen Pingan.
This girl is different from other girls he has seen.
As people get older, they can judge people more accurately.
He can see that Lanxiang has a very good upbringing and even her family conditions are quite good, but what makes him and Lao Zhao like her is that this girl's respect comes from the heart.
This is rare.
Although Ping An is indeed worthy, there are few things in this world that are not done for profit, even love.
Isn't the marriage of the family a combination of interests?
He is waiting for Chen Ping An to explain to him why the girl came to visit.
You know, there has been no young woman from another family in this courtyard for at least ten years.
...
"Will you marry her?"
It was Chen Ziang who asked the question, but he and Butler Zhao stared at Chen Ping An without blinking, which made him a little ashamed.
He didn't want to deceive the old man, but it was too fast to talk about marriage now.
"It should happen in the future, but not now."
"What do you mean it should happen! If it happens, it will happen, and if it doesn't, it won't happen! How can marriage be a joke?"
The old man was a little angry.
"Tell me the details of how you met each other."
The dog in the yard lay on a broken mat, stretched, and then went into the room and curled up at the old man's feet.
Chen Pingan finished speaking in less than ten minutes. Although it was not very detailed, the important content was mentioned.
"...I haven't asked her if she wants to move in.
If she doesn't object, let her live with you two in the inner courtyard, and you can ask her to help take care of her.
Edwards and I will still live in the outer courtyard."
Butler Zhao immediately said, "We have people to take care of us. So many young men can work, and it's not her turn to help.
It would be a good thing if you could get married quickly."
Chen Ziang nodded, "Yeah, if she is willing, I have no objection.
Rooms and so on, it's up to her. There are manpower and so on, and they can be arranged at any time."
Since the old man has nodded, no one in the Chen family can object to this matter, and they don't even have the qualifications.
Because this courtyard has been the old man's personal property from the beginning, it can be given to the Chen family, but only to his own sons and grandsons.
After returning to his room, Chen Pingan thought for a long time and decided to ask Lanxiang for her opinion in person after meeting her.
On Monday, Lanxiang only had two classes in the morning. After class, she went back to the office to pack up and prepared to call Chen Pingan.
At noon, she planned to make do with a meal in the school cafeteria. After work in the afternoon, she wanted to see where Chen Pingan was working now.
She called Chen Pingan and learned that he was in the courtyard, so she drove over by herself.
At this time, Chen Pingan had already eaten and had started the afternoon trading, but he still came out to greet them in person.
Edwards was very happy about this.
But he really needed to focus on his work, so he went about his business after a simple greeting.
Lanxiang was just as she said, she took a book and sat aside to read quietly.
Chen Pingan had no time to accompany her, so he sat side by side with Edwards to work.
Lanxiang read a book, added some hot water to the two of them from time to time, and occasionally glanced at the curve on the computer screen.
After the market closed, Edwards said he was going out to buy something and left, leaving the room to the two of them.
Lanxiang put down the book, looked at him and said, "My mother called me last night..."
Chen Pingan looked at her quietly.
"Someone told them that I had frequent contact with you, and even mentioned that we went to Hebei together."
"Then what?"
"I told my mother."
"What did you say?"
"I said you are my boyfriend." Lanxiang bit her lip and said.
This was a small action when she was nervous.
Chen Pingan had already discovered it.
This action was once performed at the bonfire dinner in Vienna.
He remembered it very clearly.
But this is not important now. He wanted to know what Lanxiang's mother said.
"I remember your father checked my information, so for them, except for the trip to Hebei, I am basically transparent, right?"
"My mother said that she will find time to come to Beijing as soon as possible!" Lanxiang sat quietly on the sofa and said it calmly.
Chen Pingan suddenly felt inexplicably nervous.
He didn't want to continue this topic.
"I discussed this with Edwards yesterday. He thinks the best way is for you to move here and find a clean sunny room for you to live in.
There will be people to pick you up from work. What do you think?
By the way, my grandfather has agreed. It depends on you."
Chen Pingan said the most important sentence with forced calmness.
"My grandfather asked me when I would marry you, and I said it depends on you."
Ah bah!
Chen Ziang never said that!
Butler Zhao didn't say that either!
Gouzi didn't mean that either!
In Lanxiang's memory, Chen Pingan rarely lied to anyone, and he probably never lied to her, so she believed it immediately.
"I can't answer you this, you have to wait for my mother to come.
I can't make the decision on this matter by myself."
Her cheeks were slightly red, but she still answered the question directly.
"But you just said that you would move in, but you have to wait until my mother comes. I can't agree to it now.
Although I know that it would be better for you, but... it really can't be done."
