Miao Man remained calm and smiled faintly.
"I didn't like it in the past, but people always change. What I didn't like in the past, I might like now. Just like prose, I used to find it boring. But as time passed, I found the joy in it."
Miao Man looked at Fu Ting with her clear eyes. "Does Ah Ting like me now, or the me who wrote to you in the past?"
She had read Fu Ting's letter in the box before and had memorized the general content. However, she felt uncomfortable when she thought of disguising herself as that woman in front of Fu Ting.
Fu Ting frowned, Miao Man asked him a strange question.
He raised his hand and patted Miao Man's head. His voice was rarely gentle. "I like you who wrote to me in the past, and I like you now. Are you satisfied with this answer?"
As he spoke, he returned the book in his hand to Miao Man.
Miao Man gritted her teeth when she thought of how Fu Ting had carried Mu Ran into the hotel that day. However, she could not reveal her anger. She let out a low breath and squeezed out a gentle smile. "People change. I still hope that you can like the present me even more."
Fu Ting was slightly stunned. He did not refute Miao Man, but only touched his head.
"Ting, are you free today? My parents want to see you. They want to talk about our engagement." Miao Man moved to the side and got closer to Fu Ting.
She was already leaning against Fu Ting's body. Her eyes looked innocent, like a wounded little beast. She looked at Fu Ting aggrievedly and eagerly. She even said in a very understanding manner, "I think it's a little too soon. If you're not willing to, I can call my parents and change the time."
Considerate and gentle.
The corners of Fu Ting's lips moved slightly. His eyes were so deep that no one could see what he was thinking. After a long while, he slowly nodded. "It's nice to meet your parents tonight. I'll arrange the location."
Miao Man quickly nodded and nestled in Fu Ting's arms obediently.
She was absolutely favored by Fu Ting. Back then, Fu Ting even let Mu Ran to choose the wedding rings by herself. It was really rare that he would personally arrange a place for a meeting with her parents.
...
Shengjing Hotel.
Fu Ting and Miao Man had just sat down when Miao Qiang walked in with his wife.
Although Miao Qiang was an absolute business magnate in Haigang City, he loved his wife very much. He pulled out the chair and nodded to Mrs. Miao in a gentlemanly manner. After she sat down, he walked back to his seat and sat down.
The love between Miao Qiang and his wife, Xu Jia, was also a wonderful love story in Haigang City. Usually, a business elite like Miao Qiang would be surrounded by all kinds of women. There were many other business elites involved in scandals and caught cheating on their wives.
Only Miao Qiang was untainted by mud. There had never been any rumors about him. Except from negotiating business contracts, he rarely went to the entertainment venues.
"Why do I feel that Manman has gained a little weight?" Xu Jia looked at Miao Man with a bright smile. Her gaze shifted to Fu Ting. The more she looked at him, the more she liked him. Her smile couldn't be any happier.
"It's all because Auntie Fu took diligent care of me. I don't know how many tonics she had forced me to drink." Miao Man smiled. There was a hint of pride in her tone.
While they were talking, the waiter came over to serve the dishes.
"Although I've met Uncle Miao before, we've never had a meal together in private, so I don't know what to order. The most unique thing here is seafood. I didn't order much. If there's anything else that you like, you can add more."
"Seafood? My Manman doesn't..." Xu Jia's eyes changed, and she said nervously.
"I love seafood the most." Miao Man quickly interrupted Xu Jia's words and looked at Fu Ting with a smile like a flower. "Ah Ting, so you still remember my favorites. You know that I love seafood the most."
"Of course I remember. That's what you wrote in your letter."
Fu Ting had already picked up a prawn and peeled it before sending it to Miao Man's bowl, "You mentioned in the letter that black tiger prawn is your favorite, but you feel that peeling the prawn is too troublesome, and you're too clumsy. Every time you do it, your hands will get dirty, so you hope that someone will help you peel it."
Fu Ting had read those letters countless times, and he had already memorized every word.
Miao Man's face turned pale.
She was allergic to seafood, and it was especially serious. Just smelling the seafood on the table made her breathing quicken and her body itchy. If she continued to eat...
She would die!
However, Fu Ting looked at her with gentle eyes. She had no choice at all.
