"Then from now on, we are a couple."

Hong Zhanpeng smiled and put his arm around Yao Ruoyan's shoulders. She subconsciously turned sideways and avoided his hand, "It's getting late, you should go back quickly."

"All right."

Hong Zhanpeng nodded. When he saw a taxi approaching, he reached out to stop it, opened the door and got into the car. He lowered the window and looked at Yao Ruoyan. "You go first. I'll see you get home and then I'll leave."

"good."

Yao Ruoyan turned around and left, opened the door and entered the house.

Seeing that Yao Ruoyan didn't even turn around to say goodbye, Hong Zhanpeng smiled bitterly and asked the driver to drive.

That's the thing about relationships, whoever falls in love first will lose first.

He was willing to lose because he got a chance to get along with Yao Ruoyan.

"Why did you come back so soon?"

Yao's mother looked at Yao Ruoyan in surprise, "Didn't you ask you to clean up the studio with him?"

"Mom, I'm tired after working all day."

Yao Ruoyan sat on the sofa, picked up the fruit plate and started eating fruit.

"Ruoyan, I can tell you that Zhan Peng is a good young man. Don't miss it."

Yao's mother started talking to Yao Ruoyan again. Yao Ruoyan took a grape and stuffed it into Yao's mother's mouth, "Mom, I have already communicated with Zhan Peng. We will only fall in love and not get married."

"What?"

Mother Yao was so anxious that she spat out the grapes in her mouth into the trash can and glared at Yao Ruoyan, "Are you a fool? You only fall in love? After you have been dating for a few years and your sex fades with age, they will break up. What will happen to you?

What guarantees are there?”

"Is marriage guaranteed to be guaranteed?"

Yao Ruoyan smiled bitterly, "I have already suffered the consequences of marriage once, and I don't want to suffer again."

"Zhan Peng is not Zou Mengyang, and it is impossible for him to divorce you."

Mother Yao was very optimistic about Hong Zhanpeng. Yao Ruoyan shook her head and said, "Mom, you're not the roundworm in his belly. How do you know he won't?"

"You can't be bitten by a snake once and fear the rope for ten years, right?"

Yao's mother didn't agree with Yao Ruoyan's withdrawal, and she couldn't let her give up the happiness she had obtained just because of Zou Mengyang.

"Mom, I've thought about it, maybe I'm not suitable for marriage."

Yao Ruoyan sat cross-legged on the sofa, pursed her lips and thought for two seconds, then said, "Marriage means something different to everyone. I have experienced a marriage that was full of holes, and it made me more cautious."

"I really have nothing to say except that you are too stubborn."

Mother Yao shook her head, unable to communicate with Yao Ruoyan. The two were not on the same channel at all.

"Mom, don't worry about me anymore."

Yao Ruoyan rested her head on Yao's mother's shoulder, "Zhan Peng has agreed, and we will get along as lovers every day. He is willing to be nice to me, and I am very grateful, but I may not be able to give him the same response.

"

"Ruoyan, forget those unhappy things in the past and try to fall in love with Zhan Peng. Mom believes that he will be your support for the rest of your life."

Yao's mother's words were very pertinent, but Yao Ruoyan knew that she couldn't do it for a while.

"Mom, just let me decide on emotional matters."

"Okay, I can't control it anymore. Because you won't listen even if I say it."

Mother Yao sighed, got up and went upstairs.

Father Yao knew that Mother Yao had new worries in her heart, and he was helpless. He raised his hand and patted Yao Ruoyan's shoulder, "Dad, I still say the same thing, no matter what choice you make, I will support you."

"Thank you dad."

Yao Ruoyan raised her head and looked at Yao's father, "Mom, I still need you to enlighten her more. I really don't want to get into marriage easily again. It's enough to be embarrassed once."

"I see."

Father Yao nodded, "Go to bed early, we have to go to work tomorrow."

"good."

Yao Ruoyan watched Yao's father go upstairs and sat in silence for a while before getting up and going back to the room.

She filled the bathtub with warm water and buried her whole body in the water. After a few minutes, she couldn't hold her breath anymore, so she emerged from the bottom of the water and leaned on the edge of the bathtub.

She didn't know whether she was right or wrong in agreeing to Hong Zhanpeng's confession. The two had known each other for more than ten years, and it felt strange to suddenly change from a relationship similar to that of male best friends to a couple.

She believed that Hong Zhanpeng was sincere, so she didn't want to see him disappointed, so she proposed this compromise method.

Maybe after the two have been together as a couple for a while, Hong Zhanpeng will find that she has many shortcomings, and it is impossible to say whether they will break up at that time.

Breaking up in a relationship is always cheaper than trial and error in divorce. If the two are suitable, they can stay together. If they are not suitable, they can separate.

Lu Tianqi came to her and tried to persuade her to get back together with Zou Mengyang, and she made her attitude clear.

In fact, she considered going over to meet Wu Meina. After all, Wu Meina really regarded her as a friend. But in the end she did not take this step.

She didn't want to have any more contact with the Zou family, so she had to include Lu Tianqi and Wu Meina to prevent them from having the opportunity to persuade her to change anything.

Half an hour later, Yao Ruoyan felt that the water was getting colder, so she took a bath towel and wrapped it around her body, then stood in front of the mirror and used a hair dryer to dry her hair.

The cell phone on the bedside table rang, but it was masked by the sound of the hair dryer.

Yao Ruoyan dried her hair before turning off the hair dryer, opening the bathroom door, walking to the bed, picking up her phone and taking a look, there was a missed call from Hong Zhanpeng.

After thinking about it, she called back and Hong Zhanpeng answered almost instantly, "Ruoyan, I thought you were asleep."

When no one answered his call, he felt a little disappointed. He didn't expect Yao Ruoyan to call back, which made him instantly happy again.

"I was drying my hair just now, and the hair dryer was too noisy. I didn't hear the phone ring."

Yao Ruoyan explained that she could have not returned the call, but she thought that since the two of them had confirmed their relationship, she could not deliberately ignore Hong Zhanpeng like this.

"It's okay. I just finished tidying up the studio and I have some free time, so I just want to hear your voice."

Hong Zhanpeng smiled, as long as Yao Ruoyan didn't intentionally not answer his call.

"What's so good about my voice?"

Yao Ruoyan sat cross-legged on the bed, "After you finish cleaning up, go take a shower and go to bed early."

"I want to discuss something with you."

Hong Zhanpeng coughed slightly and said, "I plan to renovate the studio and expand it to attract more children to sign up."

"Aren't you already saturated with students? There are too many recruits, and you can't handle it all alone."

Yao Ruoyan does not recommend expanding the scale, "You can't make enough money, so don't make yourself too tired."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Hong Zhanpeng originally wanted to expand and recruit more students. After all, he now has a girlfriend and will have more places to spend money in the future.

But Yao Ruoyan didn't agree, so forget it. He didn't want to go against her wishes.
