Chapter 461 Dating
Looking at her eager younger siblings, Song Tingnan smiled and said, "No rush, I will consider it seriously and let you meet him as soon as possible! Don't worry, he must pass your test before I marry him."
To be honest, she and Zhong Shengli didn't spend much time together. She didn't have any romantic feelings for him during their three years of junior high school, so it doesn't really count. When they met in a foreign country, they were both busy with their own tasks and didn't have much interaction. It wasn't until after they returned to Shanghai that they talked on the phone more often.
To be honest, although it wasn't an arranged marriage, they hadn't really had a proper "love affair." A life-altering event like this still needed careful consideration. Perhaps they should really go on a trip together? Song Tingnan thought, she could discuss it with him.
Two days later, Ting Nan met Zhong Shengli again. Goodness, he looked so much better... "Did you put hair mousse on your hair?"
"Isn't that right? You noticed, didn't you?" Zhong Shengli circled around her, dressed in a suit and tie, with a tall and straight posture, attracting 100% attention in this small county town.
"Handsome! Very handsome! Super handsome, just like a big star." Song Tingnan didn't hold back his praise.
"Hehe, I specially took off my military uniform and put on this outfit so you could see a different side of my handsomeness, and then not let go, hee hee..."
"You're always so vain! Just make less mousse next time."
The two joked and played around, getting along very easily, as if they had returned to their student days. "Tingnan, shall we go for a walk around No. 1 High School?"
“Okay! I’ll take you to meet Teacher Jiang while I’m at it.” Song Tingnan naturally agreed; she hadn’t visited her godparents yet since she came back.
Zhong Shengli was overjoyed. Teacher Jiang was Tingnan's godmother, so this was considered meeting the parents. He was a little nervous. After taking a quick stroll around the school, he urged them to buy gifts and head to the teachers' residential compound.
Before she could even greet him as she entered, someone rushed over and grabbed her arm. This time it wasn't Mu Zhiyuan, but Tao Huahua. "Huahua?"
"Yes, it's me! I'm so glad you still remember me. How long has it been? You didn't even tell me you were back." Tao Huahua was very lively. She then turned to the man next to Ting Nan. "Oh my, isn't this our Sheng-ge? Ting Nan, how long have you been back? You have to have some fun with me before you leave!"
Ting Nan looked at Zhong Shengli, who had been squeezed to the side, and smiled helplessly. Hua Hua must have not seen her for too long, because she excitedly grabbed her and kept talking to her.
Jiang Qianqian looked at Zhong Shengli. She vaguely remembered him; he was always around Ting Nan back then, though his grades weren't very good. Judging from his appearance as he entered, he must be Ting Nan's boyfriend, but with Tao Huahua present, she didn't want to ask too many questions.
Finally, after sitting for only a short while, Tao Huahua pulled Ting Nan along and led the two of them out. "Ting Nan, I haven't properly thanked you since that time, and my parents often mention you. There's no time like the present, and we're also old classmates. Let's go to my family's hotel, and my dad will cook some of your favorite dishes so we can have a good chat."
Unable to refuse their hospitality, we arrived at Tao Huahua's restaurant. "Huahua, wow, your hotel has expanded and looks brand new."
"Yes, you noticed? Ever since I came back, my dad has had me manage the hotel. The economy has been pretty good these past few years, so I bought the storefront next door. Now the whole ground floor can host banquets, the second floor has private booths and rooms, and the third floor has conference rooms and a mahjong room. Business is good. Many of our former classmates and teachers have come to support us, except for you and Sheng-ge. You two have seen a lot outside, so be sure to give us lots of feedback later..." Tao Huahua was very excited. As soon as they entered the hotel, she led them on a tour of the floors. There aren't many hotels of this size in the county, and with Tao's father's culinary skills, the business is quite booming.
Finally, they sat down in a private room on the second floor, with Tao Huahua sitting in the middle.
"Huahua, where are your parents?" Song Tingnan quite liked Tao's father, who was unassuming and never argued. Grandpa Tao and Grandpa Mu passed away one after the other; both old friends died peacefully in their sleep. At that time, Tingnan was busy outside, and Jiang Qianqian didn't let her come back.
Tao Huahua said with a smile, "My mom is taking Nannan out to play, and my dad is taking a nap at home. He'll be over in a bit."
Tao Huahua called the waiter and ordered a table full of dishes, and Song Tingnan couldn't stop her.
During the meal, after all the dishes were served, Tao's father came over. Song Tingnan quickly stood up to greet him, and Zhong Shengli also stood up to say hello!
Tao's father glanced at Zhong Shengli with a strange expression, then sat down next to Song Tingnan. "Tingnan, can you still eat these dishes?"
