"Of course it's you who's beautiful! My heart has long been filled with you. I can't remember what she looks like at all. It was only when I was looking at the information that I heard someone say something, that I put this person on the list."
Xia Ling: "Hmph, very good, you have passed the test successfully."
"Then, will there be any rewards after passing the test?"
It had been a long time since they last met, and he was so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground. But whenever he had a moment of leisure, he couldn't help but think of her.
Now, his longing had become a disease. Seeing her right beside him, how could Fu Jiunian hold himself back.
"Jiunian, let's get married."
Fu Jiunian's black eyes suddenly moved, and he hesitated again. "Can we wait a little longer? Soon, the project I'm working on will be done, and I can rest. When we have our wedding, I'll tell dad, and we'll go on a honeymoon trip together."
Xia Ling raised her head and didn't blame him. She looked at him, but her eyes were very calm
"You said the same thing the last time I came back."
Fu Jiunian said in a low voice, "I'm sorry..."
It wasn't that he didn't want to marry her, but the Zong family treated him well. He always wanted to make a name for himself in the company. At the very least, when he attended the wedding, those who had seen him make a name for himself in the company wouldn't look at Zong Li with sympathy.
His Ah Li had always deserved the best, and he couldn't let her suffer because of him.
"Okay, then let's wait. I'm just kidding. You are 19 years old this year. You won't be able to register with me until next year. Even if I'm anxious, it's useless." Seeing Fu Jiunian's troubled expression, Xia Ling smiled again.
Since she was the one who supported Fu Jiunian in his struggle, she shouldn't be a hindrance to his success at this time.

Time passed in a flash.
One year.
Zong Li was proficient in four foreign languages, especially in Chinese and English translation. She was quite talented.
Therefore, when she was alone, Xia Ling joined the largest publishing house in the country and was responsible for translating some novels into Chinese and English. The payment was not a problem, but the main point was to pass the time.
As usual, they spent less time together and more time apart.
Every time Fu Jiunian returned with travel-worn clothes, there would be some changes.
He was taller, thinner, darker, and taller again.
With enough practical experience, Papa Zong took a high tuition fee and sent Fu Jiunian to a finance university in England for half a year.
By the time Fu Jiunian returned, he had already transformed from a skinny teenager into a reserved and steady man.
That year, Xia Ling was 28 years old.
After coming back from England, Fu Jiunian could already take over the Huadian consortium and even the project he presided over. He cooperated with foreign professors and developed new energy sources.
The existence of new energy sources allowed their products to be updated and excel at the top of the industry.
Fu Jiunian was getting busier and busier.
On the day of Xia Ling's 28th birthday, he proposed to her and the two of them went to the civil affairs bureau to get their marriage certificate.
Fu Jiunian flew back from abroad. After getting his marriage certificate, Xia Ling had lunch with him. When the foreign project reached a critical point, Fu Jiunian left in a hurry.
He was always so busy and looked more and more like a successful businessman, but he was getting further and further away from Xia Ling.
