Rebirth of the Villainous Female Boss

Chapter 740: Chapter 714: Any love that does not aim for marriage is hooliganism.

After picking a pair of shoes, Fu Gui asked the shopping guide to print the receipt, but instead of hurrying to pay, he clenched the receipt and took Liu Mei to the high heels section next door.

“I’ve heard about this brand from my colleagues, they say it’s quite comfortable and not wearisome. Have a look and see which ones you like?”

“You… Don’t mind me wearing high heels?”

“Women love dressing up, which is completely normal. As long as your choice of shoe doesn’t make you fall, I am all for it. I don’t feel undermined if a woman is taller than me with her heels on. A man’s dignity is not defined by his height. Respecting a woman’s aesthetics is a part of decorum.”

Upon hearing this, Liu Mei suddenly found Brother Fu Gui… so cool!

Especially compared to the previous behavior of some others, he was absolutely striking!

...

After buying the shoes, he dragged Liu Mei to the women’s clothing section.

“Brother Fu Gui, don’t we need to buy clothes?”

“You have long and beautiful legs, it would be a pity not to wear skirts. Even Auntie Jia, who is nearly 50, keeps up the habit of wearing skirts. My dad often says that maintaining grace and composure for a woman not only boosts her confidence but also brightens the world.”

Spouting off the pep talk his dad used to win over his spouse, Fu Gui copied it verbatim lie for lie.

It worked brilliantly. Liu Mei’s face immediately flushed. What a compliment~

The shopping guide, seeing this scene, tactfully chimed in, “Madam, you have an amazing figure. The cuts of our clothes specifically suit tall girls. But it’s rare to find someone with such a perfect figure as yours. Look how considerate your boyfriend is.”

“He is not—”

“Try this!” Fu Gui immediately picked up a piece of clothing and interrupted Liu Mei.

If he isn’t now, will he still not be later?

That might not be true!

No, it should be put this way – if he isn’t now, will he not be in a while?

Fu Gui suddenly felt it’s a great time to confess his feelings today.

Behind Fu Gui’s strong encouragement, Liu Mei tried on a few pieces. Skirts above the knee felt slightly odd, but he continually praised her appearance, so Liu Mei happily tried them on.

While she was in the fitting room, Fu Gui settled the bill. Liu Mei felt embarrassed after finding out.

“How much was it? Let me repay you.”

“It wasn’t much. Consider it as me sharing my joy after winning a big prize.”

“That’s really embarrassing…” Liu Mei knew that a woman shouldn’t accept gifts from a man too casually. In their two-year relationship, Ma Lu had only bought her an ice cream of 50 cents – the kind without cream.

“Liu Mei, do you like the Maldives?”

“I do.”

“Then… would you like to go with me?”

“Huh?”

“What I’m trying to say is – Please be my girlfriend, with marriage in mind!”

He blurted it out! Fu Gui set off fireworks in his heart, and so did Liu Mei.

“Madam, please accept such a wonderful gentleman’s proposal. We can all see that he truly likes you!” The shopping guide served her big-spender customer with utmost enthusiasm.

“I’m not much of a sweet talker, but I promise to treat you nicely and make you happy every day. Will you give me a chance?”

“But I was supposed to get married this year, are you… okay with that?”

In response to Liu Mei’s shy query, Comrade Fu Gui answered decisively!

“Absolutely okay! Any courtship without the intent of marriage is not good!”

And Comrade Fu Gui, does not want to be a bad person!

For so many years, his family had arranged blind dates for him, but something always seemed lacking. Until he saw her in that moment, Fu Gui understood that the missing piece was the feeling Liu Mei gave him!

Wanting to see her, hoping to meet her in dreams, liking someone could make a tongue-tied man confess his love, cause a thrifty man to splurge on buying a house, liking someone can change a person. If unwilling to change, it would imply the love is not strong enough.

Once he understood this, everything became clear.

“Say yes to him!”

“Say yes to me!”

Among the chorus of agreement from Fu Gui and all the shopping guides, Liu Mei blushed and nodded her head. Maybe it was worth a try. Sister-in-law was right, no one would always be unlucky, when things are meant to happen, they would.

Liu Mei came home a bit late. After leaving the mall, she had gone on a date with Comrade Fu Gui. He had clearly explained his family situation. The two of them walked along the road, chatting happily, to the point where Liu Mei started to forget the pain of her recent breakup.

Coming home, her mood was slow and relaxed. So, this was what love feels like. Compared to this, her past relationships seemed like child’s play.

When Liu Mei entered the door with big and small shopping bags, Xiao Qian was sitting on the sofa, scrutinizing some documents Eldest Brother had given her.

When Xiao Qian saw Liu Mei come in, she just glanced up, seeing all those bags and Liu Mei’s glowing, happy expression, she knew things had worked out.

“You finally deign to return? A grown-up woman wouldn’t stick around.”

“Sister-in-law~”

“Tsk-tsk! You can tell when a woman is in a new romance, even her voice is much sweeter.”

“Don’t tease me. Actually, I want to tell you——”

“That you and Fu Gui are now an item? Please don’t mention it. Xiao Qiang asked me to pass on a message, he has no objections to you two being together. But if you’re going to get married, Fu Gui has to call you, in other words, you will also have to call me sister-in-law; he can’t call Brother Fu Gui.”

“Huh? Brother Lang knows too?” It hasn’t even been a few hours since she gave her consent…

“Not just Brother Lang, according to the message recollected by Eldest Sister-in-law, your parents are very pleased with Liao Fugui, and your foster parents also like Liao Fugui very much. It is said that your father is already prepared to meet his future son-in-law. Uncle Liao and I also greeted each other, he plans to visit your house this weekend to discuss your and Fu Gui’s relationship.”

Liu Mei was shocked so much that everything dropped from her hands.

What… is happening?

She was thrown into a muddle. How did her family, the Old Yu Family, and even Fu Gui’s father find out when she had just accepted the proposal?

“Let me lay out the relationships for you. Brother Lang praised your move of dumping the scumbag. In less than 2 minutes, Eldest Sister-in-law knew about it. In less than 3 minutes, my mother-in-law knew, so your parents knew. Now let’s talk about the other line – I called Uncle Liao next, Uncle Liao found out that he knew your dad, so he immediately called your dad. The two families hit it off.”

The circle was just that small, everyone knew what their households were like. Liu Mei’s parents were highly satisfied with Fu Gui’s father, especially after they had the previous suitor to contrast with. Fu Gui’s dad was already open to his son even marrying a divorced woman with a kid, let alone such a good girl. Hence, there was a perfect match.

“Oh, I have another piece of exciting news for you, wanna hear it?” Xiao Qian said to Liu Mei.

“What exciting news?” Liu Mei asked.
