She went to the wrong table on a blind date and ended up getting married to a billionaire CEO.

Su Maiqi followed behind Mrs. Pei Rong, pretending not to see Shen Qingge's expression.

She told Mrs. Pei Rong many traditional Chinese stories and customs, simply because the other woman was genuinely interested, and because she happened to know them.

She wouldn't deliberately show off unless the other party needed it.

Amidst laughter and conversation, they soon arrived at the Western restaurant that Shen Qingge had mentioned. This restaurant was said to be quite prestigious, having been invested in and opened by a well-known foreigner.

The restaurant's waiters come from various nationalities and are all attractive, a real treat for the eyes. Many of them are not only fluent in English and Chinese, but also speak one or two other foreign languages.

As the group entered the restaurant, Shen Qingge greeted the waiter in fluent English, saying, "Hello, please prepare the best spot for us with the best view."

The restaurant is located behind the temple fair site, and to the south lies the massive Yuncheng National Forest Park.

Near the south side, there is a row of scenic restaurants where you can enjoy your meal while admiring the lush greenery and sometimes even spot birds flying around.

It's winter now, so there's no greenery to enjoy.

However, it had just snowed a few days ago, and the snow in the forest didn't need to be cleared by humans. Plus, the weather was cold, and the snow hadn't melted yet; from a distance, it had a unique charm.

On the vast white earth, the bare tree trunks looked like rows of ice and snow guardians.

Clumps of snowdrifts hung from the branches of the trees, like works of art meticulously sculpted by nature. Every branch was covered in ice and snow, forming icicles of all shapes and sizes.

Today is a sunny day, the sun is shining brightly, and the snow reflects a dazzling light, while the forest stands quietly in this light like a silent guardian.

The outlines of the trees are even clearer against the backdrop of the snow, as if they were sketches drawn by a painter with the simplest lines.

In the elegant private room where everyone was, there was a rectangular wooden table with a bunch of fiery red roses on it, blooming at the most beautiful curve, with a beauty that seemed about to burst into full bloom at any moment.

The room was very warm, so everyone took off their coats. We couldn't resist standing by the window to admire the view.

No one spoke, as if opening their mouths would ruin the beautiful atmosphere.

Gazing at this snow-covered forest, time seems to slow down, and the world becomes simpler. All the noise and troubles are covered by the pure white snow, leaving only inner peace and a deep appreciation for the beauty of nature.

It felt like an eternity had passed, or perhaps only a minute, when Mrs. Pei Rong let out a soft sigh: "So beautiful."

Everyone chimed in, praising Shen Qingge for finding the right place.

Shen Qingge spoke modestly, but she was very happy inside. She cheerfully instructed the waiter in English, "Menu."

The waiter quickly brought the menu, and Shen Qingge asked Pei Rong in Spanish, "Madam, which cake would you like?"

After making his choice, he consulted Mario, who then chose the same style as his wife.

Afterwards, Shen Qingge asked each person present in Chinese, showing grace and meticulousness.

Afterwards, they thoughtfully arranged for fruit and a proper meal, and instructed the waiter to prepare them.

The waiter went out and spoke to another waiter in German, perhaps having overlooked something. Shen Qingge then went out and added in German, "Mr. Mario's steak should be medium-rare."

Mr. Mario looked at Shen Qingge with more appreciation in his eyes, and said to Shen Qingshuo, "Miss Shen is not only beautiful, but also very outstanding. Your parents have raised you very well."

I heard that Miss Shen also works at the Shen Corporation. You two siblings are a perfect match; the future of the Shen Corporation is immeasurable.

Shen Qingshuo also smiled and said, "Yes, my younger sister is too outstanding. I can't bear to see her get married."

Pei Rong also exclaimed, "Whoever marries Miss Shen in the future will surely achieve both love and career success, and will receive great assistance in their career."

Shen Qingge's heart clenched again, a subtle pain spreading throughout her body. She should have married Gu Tingyu.

If the Shen family and Chenxing were to join forces, there would be no chance for other jewelers in Yuncheng.

Who knew that Su Maiqi, a country girl she had never met, would suddenly appear and steal her happiness?

But she couldn't say anything. She could only suppress the pain or pretend to ignore it, and put on a smile, saying in Spanish, "Men still prefer someone like Miss Su, who is gentle and considerate, can take good care of the home, and makes men feel the warmth of home."

On the surface, her words were praising Su Maiqi, but in reality, she was implying that Su Maiqi lacked ability and support in her career, and that she climbed the social ladder by feigning weakness and currying favor.

Gu Tingyu felt uncomfortable upon hearing this and instinctively frowned, about to say something. Unexpectedly, Su Maiqi spoke calmly in Spanish: "Actually, it's not that important what kind of woman a man likes. Marriage isn't about choosing or being chosen."

Rather, it's a process of two people who recognize each other's worth balancing each other's needs; just like Mr. Mario and Mrs. Perrin, whether they are starting a business together or need one of them to prioritize their family, they respect each other.

I hope Ms. Shen will also meet someone like that in the future—someone who understands, supports, and appreciates her.

Pei Rong kept nodding involuntarily as she listened to Su Maiqi say this. Mrs. Gu's expression of marriage also resonated with her own views.

There is no hierarchy or power dynamic in marriage; mutual recognition, respect, and appreciation are all crucial. This is a true reflection of her own marriage.

At different stages, couples need to balance each other's needs. Whether it's career or family, it's like a partnership where both partners work together.

This is also what she considers the success of her marriage: whether she was a housewife when the children were young or now she is able to stay by his side and work together on their careers; Mario has always been full of appreciation and respect for her.

Therefore, she never thought that women needed to be deliberately understanding, gentle and considerate in order to please the other party. She never expected that Shen Qingge, a woman who was proficient in several languages ​​and had received higher education, would still have such a decadent view on gender.

Thinking of this, Pei Rong's liking for Su Maiqi grew even stronger. She looked at her with admiration and said with praise, "Miss Su and Mr. Gu are indeed a match made in heaven. They are both insightful and wise. I believe you will have a happy marriage."

First came intense frustration, then anger, leading Shen Qingge to curse inwardly, "Su Maiqi, that bitch!"

She can speak Spanish! What a show-off! What a scheming woman! She keeps quiet and plays the fool.
