However, when Song Bojian opened the door for her and let her in, the spacious backseat and the soothing and elegant fragrance in the car were completely different from the crowded subway she took every morning. She looked out the window at the passersby who were in a hurry.
Suddenly, she realized something.
Getting married didn't seem like a bad idea.
However, during the early morning rush hour in the capital, no matter what kind of vehicle you took, there would be traffic. Qi Mei looked at the stream of traffic and felt a little apologetic. She was afraid that she would delay Song Bojian's schedule. After thinking for a moment, she said, "It'll waste you half an hour to send me to work. I'll go to work by myself next time."
"Qi Mei."
She subconsciously replied when hearing someone call her name.
When their eyes met, she saw his lips curl up. "I know I'm important."
She didn't quite understand his meaning and felt as if she was from another planet.
But he soon answered her question. "The world won't stop working without my half an hour."
She went silent, thinking that she was still inexperienced. He always took it for granted, refreshing her worldview.
However, she realized that she didn't hate the way he did it and didn't think he was being sarcastic. Some people would use a teasing tone when being with someone they were familiar with. After all, when Song Bojian had a business talk with Yu Nan, he always said and behaved in a polite and rational way.
But she soon realized that she seemed to have treated herself as a person who was very close to Song Bojian.
"Maybe you can change the world in this half an hour," she said.
He was speechless.
"Do you usually take the subway to work?" he asked.
She nodded. "It's just a few stops away." She thought for a while and asked, "Do you think I'm a good-for-nothing? Why am I still living at home at this age?" She wanted to move out, but the company was not far from her home. In addition, she had gone house-hunting near the company, but she was satisfied with none of them. Therefore, she did not move out. However, she gave her parents money every month, so she wasn't living off them.
Her friend, Wu Xiangdai, rented a small house and lived quite a comfortable life immediately after her graduation.
Not to mention the man beside her now, He even bought a small courtyard house for his parents.
Song Bojian turned his head to glance at her. "You just didn't have a suitable opportunity to move out before. If you want to, you will soon make it happen."
She blinked her eyes. Did he mean that she could move out to live with her husband after marriage? She was shocked and realized that this was not a good topic. Did he think that she couldn't wait to remind him of that?
"I didn't mean I want to live with you. I always paid for food when living with my parents," she quickly explained.
His eyes darkened. After a long time, he said in a low voice, "I just made a suggestion."
She heaved a sigh of relief. She just thought it was too fast. If she felt nothing for having their marriage registered in such a short time, she now had a sense of urgency instantly when speaking of moving out and living with him.
Fortunately, she arrived at her company very quickly. In order to avoid meeting her colleagues, she asked the driver to stop at the nearby intersection.
The driver wanted to turn to look at Song Bojian, but since Song Bojian didn't say anything, he stopped at the place designated by Qi Mei.
"I'm going to work now." Qi Mei turned to look at him.
"Be careful on the road," Song Bojian said with a nod.
She nodded.
After arriving at the company, Qi Mei informed the project team members to meet in the conference room at 9:30 pm via the office communication software. Because the project was going smoothly, she felt much more relaxed. However, during the meeting, she bumped into someone she did not expect.
It was the other founder of Ping An Zhi Xing, He Chong.
"Hello, Mr. He," Qi Mei greeted him.
The other colleagues followed suit.
He Chong nodded slightly. But when Qi Mei was about to leave, he suddenly spoke, "Qi Mei, please come to my office."
Qi Mei naturally had no objections. But before they reached He Chong's office, Yu Nan happened to walk over and saw them.
"Are you going to have a work-related discussion?" Yu Nan was a little surprised.
"I just want to have a chat with Qi Mei."
"I thought we already reached a consensus on this matter." Yu Nan frowned.
Qi Mei's eyelids fluttered slightly, but she didn't say anything.
"Qi Mei, go back to work first," Yu Nan said.
Seeing that things weren't right between the two, Qi Mei didn't want to get involved. Since Yu Nan had given her a way out, she quickly said, "Well, you can chat first."
