Chapter 21 (1/2)

After a moment, the car left the garage and made a turn to get onto the main roads. Tang Jianan spoke, “So you're interested in antiques…”

Feng Ping absentmindedly laughed.

“Since you liked that vase, why did you give it to him?”

“It's not some kind of unique thing, I was just browsing.”

Hearing the meaning behind these words, Tang Jianan felt that her tastes were extremely high, not at all like someone whose background was one that was short of money. But since even Director Yuan wanted this vase, the price should be extremely high, um, could it be that she was actually very rich?

From the first time he met her, this was the first time he had thought of this question. He usually did not care about the income of his female partner because he was never restrained by finances. Now, he thought hard about the past, Feng Ping's clothes did not seem to be very extravagant nor did she seem to wear any expensive brands. He had never seen her wear the brooch he sent her. Other than having a higher standard regarding the quality of her mattress, she was quite amicable in other matters…

Hm? Why did he suddenly think of this? It was as if he was worrying about the rascal he was raising in his house.

Tang Jianan realized this and couldn't help but laugh at himself.

Feng Ping did not expect to b.u.mp into An Yuesheng and so was still out of sorts, she didn't speak at all during the ride. The skies outside the window slowly darkened as if a snowstorm was coming. After a long while, she suddenly realized that Tang Jianan was abnormally quiet and became a little suspicious only to see traces of a smile on his face. She became even more suspicious, could it be that he found something?

“What are you laughing about?” Feng Ping turned her head.

“Hm?”

Tang Jianan absentmindedly answered her, raising his head to look in the mirror, he found that he indeed was still smiling as if he was delighting in some sort of secret, causing his face to heat up. At this moment, a light beamed in and he became startled, feeling that his own curiosity was running astray.

Even though Feng Ping was curious about his blus.h.i.+ng face, she wasn't in the mood to tease him. She had her own matters.

They returned home and ate dinner, snow finally descending outside.

It took a lot of effort for Tang Jianan to be able to have a half a day's worth of rest at the end of the year and he was very willing to sit with her. In the warm room, appreciating the snowing scenery was quite a romantic scene. However, he did not expect for Feng Ping's mind to wander off, causing him to become a little unhappy.

How weird! He didn't know anything about her, why did he choose her to be his fiance?

He was like those fellows who did stupid things in a moment of impulse, after the whole fiasco happened, he was startled by his own actions as well. Actually at that time, even if it was another woman, he still would have asked her and that woman still most likely would have agreed.—This wasn't overconfidence, it was because the allure of Tang family was too irresistible for most people, and Tang Jianan had never experienced the feeling of being rejected. Perhaps it was because the women around him had high IQs, yet Feng Ping clearly did not have a very high IQ, because if she were intelligent enough, then she would play her part well and work hard to make the fake become real—even if they only pretended to be engaged, as the old saying goes, the skies will one day rain, the woman must marry. Nowadays, feelings were the most unreliable thing, if there were any changes, at most he would be cursed out and it wasn't as if there weren't people cursing him already.

As he contemplated, his originally happy mood had disappeared and he walked upstairs in a depressed state.
