Flash Marriage with Dr. Huo

Chapter 134: Become my Mrs. Zhou?

Tang Xiaqing was wearing an elegant pink dress, which was light and flowing, like a spring breeze, forming a sharp contrast with the tense atmosphere around her.

Zhou Mufeng walked slowly towards Tang Xiaqing with a playful smile and an elusive light in his eyes.

"Miss Tang," he said, his voice full of obvious frivolity, "Would you consider becoming my Mrs. Zhou? I'm sincerely here to propose marriage. This is my grandfather."

Tang Xiaqing's heart trembled when she heard this. She subconsciously took a step back, surprise and vigilance flashing in her green eyes.

A gust of wind blew in from outside the window, and the soft fabric she was wearing swayed slightly in the wind, as if silently protesting against this sudden interruption.

At this moment, the air was filled with awkwardness and uneasiness.

She looked at her parents in surprise, only to find that their expressions were unusually solemn, especially her father, whose brows were deeply wrinkled, as if foreshadowing immense pressure.

All this made Tang Xiaqing's heart beat violently, and she felt that something big might be about to happen.

"Ms. Tang," Zhou Mufeng's voice was deliberately soft, "Let me tell you. Your Tang family's family business has encountered a crisis and is facing the risk of bankruptcy. And I happen to be able to lend you a hand. As long as you become my wife, all this will disappear, otherwise..." His voice paused here, and he looked at Tang Xiaqing meaningfully.

Faced with such a sudden situation, Tang Xiaqing's emotions were in turmoil.

"Get out!" This word almost came out of Tang Xiaqing's mouth, but she swallowed it back at the last moment.

She knew that there were elders present, including the old man from the Zhou family, and her etiquette and upbringing prevented her from losing her composure like this.

Not to mention, she saw the worried faces of her parents.

So, Tang Xiaqing chose to remain silent, but her eyes still revealed determination.

Tang Xiaqing raised her head and looked around with a firm gaze, finally stopping on Zhou Mufeng's face. She decided to give him a way out and drive him away first.

"This is too sudden. I need time to think about this." Her voice was calm and powerful, revealing a maturity beyond her years. "I won't make any rash decisions, but please give me enough space and time, okay?"

Zhou Mufeng shrugged and smiled, "I really like you. I understand your concerns, but this is the reality. Think about your father, think about your family, they are getting older, and you don't want them to face bankruptcy, or even debt and imprisonment due to the suspension of the project. Just agree now."

Tang Xiaqing gritted her teeth. She looked at Zhou Mufeng with an unyielding fire burning in her eyes. "I will consider your proposal carefully, but before that, I hope you can give me some time."

After hearing Tang Xiaqing's excuse, the gentleness on Mr. Zhou's face just now faded a little.

As the elder of the family, Grandpa Zhou was obviously a little skeptical about Zhou Mufeng's personality change. He actually knew that it was just a temporary impulse, not a true spiritual awakening.

After all, especially considering his previous frivolous attitude towards love, Zhou Mufeng has always liked various models, kept changing girlfriends, and his private life was a mess. The Zhou family lacked a well-educated and well-mannered hostess who could make Zhou Mufeng settle down. Until a few days ago, Zhou Mufeng suddenly said that he liked Tang Xiaqing from Tanghai Group, and verbally promised that he would no longer go to nightclubs in the future. Mr. Zhou felt that Zhou Mufeng's marriage had hope.

Mr. Zhou feels that, as he ages, he must now consider the family's interests and social reputation. He worries about how the outside world will perceive the Zhou family's education and values, and even more about how this will affect the stability of the family business.

Old Master Zhou harbored a deep sense of anticipation. He hoped Zhou Mufeng would find his true partner, settle down, and become the family's pillar of support. This anticipation, mixed with anxiety, gave his expression a complex expression.

"Mr. Zhou, Zhou Mufeng, I think we've pretty much covered everything we want to discuss today." Tang Wenhai spoke gently and steadily, trying not to sound abrupt or urgent. "Why don't we stop here for now and give everyone some time and space to think calmly? We can discuss it in detail in a few days."

Zhou Mufeng's voice was cold, and he said bluntly, "Okay, I can give you time, but not indefinitely. The crisis facing your family business, especially the unrest among shareholders and the volatility of the company's stock price, are urgent matters that cannot be delayed."
