Chapter 200: Participating in a family dinner

After thinking for a long time, I sent a WeChat message to Mi Cai: "What do you think of marriage?"

Putting the phone aside, taking a puff of cigarette, then saying to Robben: "Before life is stable, the word marriage is too far away from me!"

Robben nodded and said, "I didn't think about it before, but this time when I went back to Beijing, I suddenly felt that they were old and couldn't tell what it felt like. I was at the age of being worthy of them over the years, but I never gave them back..."

After saying that, Robben raised his head and vomited out the smoke from his mouth. The smoke seemed to see his guilt and apologies.

I think Robben's compromise makes sense, because we can't resist the squeeze of time, but love is always erratic, and in the end, we are unwilling to capture the love we originally wanted, and find someone to live the wrong way.

During the silence between Robben and me, Mi Cai finally replied to my message and asked me back: "Why did you suddenly ask this question?"

I stared at the information for a long time. I guess the word marriage is unfamiliar to her, so she chose to throw the ball back to me, so she had no idea for the time being.

So, I, who had not received a response, was very sensible and did not ask any questions anymore. I just replied "ask casually" and asked her to rest early, and ended the conversation, but I knew in my heart that on the Long March of Love, we had to work together for a long time, a long time...

...

Time continues to move forward, tomorrow is Mi Zhongde's birthday party, so I was anxious all night. In fact, I was not mentally prepared to attend this birthday dinner as Mi Cai's boyfriend. I believe that by then I will inevitably be asked questions such as what kind of work to do, which will be an embarrassment for me and Mi Cai.

I couldn't sleep, so I made a cup of tea for myself, turned on my computer, browsed the recruitment information of major websites online, and in the past few days, I had returned the management rights of the "Fifth Season" bar to Le Yao. Le Yao also efficiently found a bar manager to manage the bar, so I, who had temporarily recovered my freedom, began to prepare for finding a new job.

After screening some companies and submitting resumes, I finally closed my notebook. It was already late at night. I lay back on the bed again and picked up my phone habitually. I found that there was a WeChat message sent by Mi Cai that I had not read. I opened the message and asked me to get up early tomorrow and accompany her to prepare a birthday gift for Mi Zhongde.

I replied "No problem", and soon Mi Cai replied with a message: "Why haven't you rested yet?"

"You are not sleepy yet, haven't you rested yet!"

"I'm working on Jomei's first quarter of this year and I'll have a break soon."

"Well, then see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

I sighed inexplicably, put my phone back on the cabinet at the bedside, and then lit the last cigarette before going to bed for myself. However, my suppressed emotions were not relieved. I only felt that I was torn into two halves, half longed to complete the love run-in earlier, and half was helpless with this bad situation. This feeling was really bad, so I had insomnia this night!

...

Even though I had insomnia, I still got up early amid the alarm ringing the next day, but because of the extreme lack of sleep, I seemed a little depressed.

After washing up, I found a reasonable formal outfit from the cabinet to put it on, and then made breakfast. After a moment, Mi Cai came over.

And from the moment she entered the door, I looked at her because she didn't deliberately dress up today, and her clothes were just a professional outfit that she would wear when she was working.

"Today I'm going to attend your uncle's birthday party. There are so many celebrities on the scene. Don't you dress up, don't you dress up?"

Mi Cai shook her head and said no, and said to me again: "Let's have breakfast quickly. Time is very tight. You have to arrive in Shanghai before noon."

Of course I know that Mi Cai didn't dress up deliberately to accommodate me, and the two people who can't hold hands. I am so simple, but she is glamorous.

My burden became heavier and I struggled even harder. After all, she was Zhuomei's ceo, so dressing like this was absolutely inappropriate, but... I was also very sad about that hurdle!

At this moment, I have a deeper understanding that no matter how perfect your love fantasy is, you can't escape the cage of reality, because no one can survive independently of society, and you must abide by the laws of real society.

I finally said to Mi Cai with a difficult smile: "I'll buy me a set of clothes later."

Mi Cai was a little surprised, but soon understood what I meant and nodded immediately.

I am very grateful that she did not ask "why", which made me less feel lost after compromising, but just less, I felt lost in my heart.

...

After breakfast, Mi Cai and I went to the mall. She gave me a Burberry suit and bought a gift for Mi Zhongde. Then we drove to Shanghai together.

About an hour later, we arrived at the villa where Mi Zhongde stayed in Shanghai. The banquet at noon was a family dinner. Everyone attended Mi Zhongde's family. At the evening banquet, we invited friends and some of the core backbones of Zhuomei.

Mi Cai parked the car outside the door and waited for the door to open. I subconsciously looked into the yard. There were already various luxury cars parked inside. It seemed that there were many relatives coming to attend the family dinner, so I inevitably felt the pressure.

After weighing the pros and cons, he finally said to Mi Cai beside him: "Or I won't attend the family dinner at noon today, and I'll attend the dinner with everyone in the evening."

"Why?"

I was silent for a while and said frankly: "I am not mentally prepared yet, nor do I have the confidence to face your family as your boyfriend."

Mi Cai asked in an unhappy tone: "Then are you my boyfriend?"

"Yes, so I can't embarrass you. If your family asks about my job, it will be difficult for me to speak, and I believe they will find it difficult for them to accept my temporary unemployed situation."

“Why do you have to connect your work with our relationship?”

"If you can think from the perspective of others, I think you will understand me."

During the two of them, the nanny had already opened the door, but Mi Cai did not drive the car in. She looked at me with a complicated expression.

Suddenly, a horn sounded behind the car. The two of them looked back subconsciously and found a white R8 blocked behind. Then they walked out of the car with a young woman in a red jacket who looked over 20 years old.

Mi Cai said to me, "It's my sister."
