Humiliated by my mother-in-law, I married into a wealthy family with my son four years later
Chapter 38: Proposed by a Colleague
At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused here. Everyone was very excited and shouted from time to time: "Ke Hao, are you proposing to me?"
"Haha, Ke Hao, you're such a man!"
"Ke Hao, come on! We support you!"
Jiang Man felt her cheeks burning, but fortunately, the small spotlight above her head emitted a warm yellow light, making it difficult for others to notice. But with so many people booing, pretending to ignore it became extremely difficult! She could only turn around stiffly and face Ke Hao, looking at a loss.
Su Heng just watched coldly, the cigarette in his hand burning carelessly.
"Jiang Man," Ke Hao finally spoke, his eyes burning, his expression sincere and genuine, "I like you! Can you be my girlfriend?"
Jiang Man wished she could find a hole to crawl into. Her face was almost stiff with embarrassment. She looked at Xiao Zheng for help, but Xiao Zheng looked like he was enjoying the show and even made a "come on" gesture to her.
Jiang Manzhen wanted to cry but had no tears. She could only bite the bullet and face the serious man in front of her. She cleared her throat and said softly, "I'm sorry, Ke Hao, I can't..."
When she said this, she didn't dare to look into the other person's eyes, for fear that she would see something there that would make her feel guilty.
There was a chorus of boos all around: "You were rejected just like that? You're such a coward!"
"Ke Hao, bring your family's passbook as a gift, maybe it will work out!"
Whether it was a joke or a teasing, Ke Hao's face was not good, and the alcohol had mostly dissipated by now. Besides embarrassment, he felt even more disappointed.
He stood up and smiled stiffly: "Is that so..."
After walking back a few steps, he stopped again. Since it had become a joke, he might as well play it out to the end. He turned around and asked seriously, "Can you give me a reason? Do you already have a boyfriend?"
Su Heng glanced sideways at the woman beside him, then looked away. A hint of amusement appeared on his mature and handsome face.
"I..." Jiang Man answered truthfully, "No."
Hearing this, Ke Hao took a few steps forward stubbornly: "Then why can't I do it?"
Xiao Zheng couldn't stand it any longer and came over to smooth things over: "Hey, our little Manman likes muscular and tough guys, not your type!"
Ke Hao actually believed it: "I can practice! I can become whatever you like!"
Xiao Zheng was speechless at his seriousness, so he just spread his hands and let Jiang Man handle it himself.
Seeing that Ke Hao really liked Jiang Man, some colleagues began to speak up for him: "Jiang Man, Ke Hao is actually quite good, just give him a chance!"
"Yeah, maybe sparks will fly."
"Besides, President Su is here too, so he can be a witness. Ke Hao will definitely not dare to bully you!"
Jiang Man was a little dizzy from being bombarded with waves of words. She knew in her heart that if she didn't give up Ke Hao's idea today, it would be difficult for her to extricate herself.
The man next to him lit up another cigarette with a click and continued to puff away smoke.
Jiang Man bit her lip lightly. After being persuaded by everyone, she finally spoke, "Ke Hao is really good. I don't mean to dislike him...it's just..."
"Just what?" Ke Hao asked anxiously, looking at her with eager eyes.
This was the first woman in his life who made his heart beat faster. He had made up his mind that no matter what she asked, he would agree without hesitation!
Aside from the music, everyone else in the room fell silent, their ears perked up, waiting for Jiang Man's answer. Even Su Heng tilted his head slightly, his gaze focused on her.
Feeling the tension in the atmosphere, Jiang Man bravely raised her head and looked directly at Ke Hao with clear eyes, "It's just that I already have a husband."
Su Heng paused in smoking for a moment, and there was a hint of complexity in his eyes as he looked at her.
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. This result was completely beyond their expectations!
Ke Hao found it even harder to accept, "You're married? Don't lie to me, this must be your excuse to reject me!"
Even Xiao Zheng came over and whispered, "Manman, is this true? How come I don't know anything about it?"
Jiang Man nodded gently, "It's true, there's no need for me to lie about this kind of thing."
Anyway, she and Su Heng were a legal couple with a marriage certificate, so it wouldn't hurt to talk about it, right? Besides, the person involved was present, so if he objected, he could speak up! If he didn't, it meant he agreed!
Thinking of this, Jiang Man felt a sense of pleasure in his heart.
"I don't believe it!" Ke Hao still refused to believe it. He pointed at Jiang Man and said, "You don't even have a wedding ring! If you are really married, how can you not have a wedding ring?"
He was convinced that this was Jiang Man's excuse! At the same time, he felt a little unwilling. Why didn't she accept his love? Wasn't he good enough?
Jiang Man was stunned. She really hadn't considered this issue.
Beside her, Su Heng looked down at her hands, which were as white as jade, but empty.
He narrowed his eyes and brought the cigarette between his fingers to his lips again.
Under Ke Hao's repeated questioning, Jiang Man could only bite the bullet and say, "I was afraid of losing it, so I left it at home."
Although this reason is somewhat untenable, it can temporarily shut up Youyou.
Xiao Zheng rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "It's just a ring! Ke Hao, if you really want to see it, just ask Manman to bring it tomorrow. Why make such a fuss? That's not very manly~"
After Xiao Zheng said this, even if Ke Hao wanted to figure out the problem, he could only sit aside in disappointment, glancing at Jiang Man from time to time.
Manager Lin was worried that these people would neglect the president, so he quickly tried to smooth things over by saying, "Didn't you ask to come sing? Why don't you sing? Then why don't you pay and leave?"
Suddenly, several hands reached out to grab the microphone, and the atmosphere became lively again.
Jiang Man breathed a sigh of relief quietly, and subconsciously retracted his hand and hid it behind his back.
Su Heng lowered his eyes and glanced over, taking in all her little movements. Finally, he stood up and nodded slightly to Manager Lin, "I have something else to do. Have fun."
Without disturbing other colleagues, Su Heng walked straight out the door, and Manager Lin hurriedly followed him out.
When they walked out of the club, Lin Ze's car was waiting outside. Su Heng got in the car and it slowly started and drove out.
"Boss Su, shall we take you home now?"
Su Heng gently pinched his brow bone with two fingers and responded lightly.
The car merged into the lane, and the neon lights on both sides of the street kept flashing, occasionally passing by the car window. Su Heng opened his eyes, and the bright light reflected in his eyes made him even more confused.
At this moment, he suddenly said: "Where is the best jewelry store nearby?"
"Uh, there's one just around the corner."
Su Heng slowly closed his eyes again, "Take me there."
"Ok."
