She didn't realize she was so eager to play matchmaker, and she wasn't done yet.
In the middle of the night, and she wasn't coming back. Did she really want to find partners for the entire security team?
He opened the door. In the corridor, all the security team members were surrounding Jiang Nan Fang in a throng.
They were all holding up their phones, chattering incessantly, and he didn't know what they were talking to her about.
Zhan Bei Jue leaned against the door and watched for a while. The crowd didn't react, so he had to pretend to cough. Someone looked over.
"President Zhan, not resting yet?"
Nonsense! How long has it been since I've been here? How long has it been since I've rested with my wife? If she's not sleeping, how can I sleep? They have no foresight at all, and they deserve to be single.
"What are you all busy with?"
A Cheng explained, "Sister Nan Fang created a group chat for us and is introducing us to potential partners. We'll be done soon, President Zhan."
This woman, the more you talk to her, the more energetic she gets. She even created a group chat to introduce everyone collectively...
It looks like there will be a group wedding at the end of the year.
Zhan Bei Jue leaned against the door and waited for a full five minutes before Jiang Nan Fang was released.
She returned to the room, satisfied, and seeing Zhan Bei Jue's unhappy expression, she reached out and pinched his face.
"I'm winning people over for you, why are you unhappy?"
Zhan Bei Jue said sarcastically, "Yes, winning people over for me, I should thank you."
"Of course! I even organized a matchmaking event in your name, inviting the entire security team and the female employees from Chen Jiaojiao's beauty salon to Kangqiao Villa for two days."
"Everyone is extremely grateful to you, so shouldn't you thank me?"
"Heh, you ignore the lonely person in your own home and go be a matchmaker for others. Should I thank you?"
"Who are you calling lonely? You? What does your loneliness have to do with me? Anyway, we're divorced, so if you feel lonely, find someone else."
Zhan Bei Jue raised an eyebrow, preparing to tell her to settle accounts later, but Jiang Nan Fang pressed her hand over his mouth.
"Yes, I am petty, and I will settle accounts later. Go find someone generous."
"..."
Zhan Bei Jue dared not argue further. "I'm sorry."
Jiang Nan Fang ignored him and went to wash up. He followed her, only to be shut out of the room.
"What are you doing? We don't have any relationship now. Do you want to watch me shower?"
"You're so quick to change your mind... Alright, alright, I was wrong. It was wrong of me to force you to divorce last time."
"Is that all? A casual apology? Are you trying to dismiss a beggar?"
"Then what do you want? I'll give you anything, alright?"
"I'm not saying," Jiang Nan Fang said proudly and slammed the door.
Things that are easily obtained are boring; things that are sincerely given are sweet.
Shut out of the room, Zhan Bei Jue was helpless and had to go to the children's room to seek help from his strategists.
"Mommy is suddenly unhappy and is holding me accountable for neglecting you all a while ago. What gift should I give her to win her back?"
Tian Tian mercilessly mocked him.
"What do you mean Mommy is suddenly angry? You really have no emotional intelligence, Daddy."
"Mommy must be envious seeing others in love. Even though you two are an old married couple, you still need romance. If you're indifferent, won't Mommy be angry?"
Ge Er also said, "Exactly. Have you proposed to Mommy? Bought her a diamond ring? Had a wedding? Gone on a honeymoon? Has she experienced everything other women have?"
"Think about it yourself. Compared to others, she has nothing. How can she not be angry?"
Hearing this from the children, Zhan Bei Jue felt deeply ashamed.
Jiang Nan Fang had been with him for so many years, enduring endless grievances and hardships, but she hadn't gained anything.
She wouldn't show weakness, wouldn't ask, so he thought she truly didn't care. In fact, what woman doesn't crave romance deep down?
He didn't sleep anymore, immediately went back to his room, put on clothes, and rushed out the door.
"A Cheng. Give me the car keys."
"President Zhan, what's so important at this hour? I'll do it for you."
Going to buy flowers for your matchmaker.
Zhan Bei Jue thought to himself: It's all thanks to you all, stimulating her so late at night.
In modern society, people are very competitive in all walks of life to make money. Even flower shops are no exception.
They stayed open so late to welcome customers who had sudden whims.
Zhan Bei Jue entered a flower shop for the first time in his life, and the dazzling array of colors made him dizzy.
Fortunately, he remembered something Zhou Jin Bei had recited to him before.
"Wrap a bouquet of this, this, and this."
Jiang Nan Fang washed up and went to the children's room to tell them stories.
After tucking them into bed, she had just reached the master bedroom door when Zhan Bei Jue pushed the door open and entered from outside.
She was startled.
"Why did you come in from outside? I thought you were already asleep."
Zhan Bei Jue didn't say anything. After entering, he dragged two large bags in from behind him.
They were colorful, filled with many bouquets of flowers.
Although the various fresh flowers were beautiful and vibrant, Jiang Nan Fang didn't show any happiness.
"What are you doing? You don't even know my preferences, so you just bought a bunch wholesale, hoping one of them will make me happy?"
"Don't get angry yet, Mrs. Zhan. Please sit down."
Zhan Bei Jue pressed her down onto the sofa, took out all the flowers, and arranged them on the coffee table in front of them.
Then he handed her a card.
"Please read this before deciding whether to be angry, okay?"
The card was handwritten by Zhan Bei Jue, in a strong, flowing cursive script.
We only live once in this world.
Eat the meals you want to eat, see the people you want to see,
Admire the scenery you like, do the things you love.
You don't necessarily have to be a rose.
If you wish, you can be a jasmine, a daisy, a sunflower, or an unnamed wildflower.
Whatever you are, I will always love you.
Signed - Zhan Bei Jue
This was the most romantic thing he had done since they met.
Jiang Nan Fang, being easily swayed, was won over by a single card, and her nose stung, making her want to cry.
"I'm going to frame this as eternal proof. If you ever treat me badly again, I'll use this to sue you."
"Okay."
Jiang Nan Fang picked up the flowers and looked at them repeatedly.
"Will they wilt tomorrow? It would be such a waste if they did. Should I post it on my social media?"
Perhaps influenced by Zhou Jin Bei's daily posts showing affection, she suddenly had the urge to take a selfie with Zhan Bei Jue and post it to show their love.
Strangely, Zhan Bei Jue had the same urge.
Hearing her words, he consciously sat beside her, striking a pose for a photo.
Jiang Nan Fang instructed him to find the right angle.
"There are so many flowers, it would be a shame not to capture them. Move over there a bit."
Zhan Bei Jue pulled her into his arms, tilted his head, and kissed her temple. Jiang Nan Fang smiled, with the bouquets of flowers arranged on the coffee table behind them.
With a click, Jiang Nan Fang posted it on her social media with the caption: "My heart beats for you again."
"Alright. Let's go back to sleep."
She contentedly put down her phone, got up, and walked towards the bedroom.
Zhan Bei Jue watched her back as she entered the room, then quickly took out his phone and reposted her social media update.
The caption read: "My honor."
