I said: The belt is gone. Your father-in-law took a fancy to it and took it away.

The uncle said: Oh, then give it to my father-in-law.

I suddenly remembered something, and I looked at him and asked: Husband, what did my dad say to you this morning?

The uncle said: Your father told me that he agrees with our relationship, but he wants us to date each other first and talk about marriage later, and he won’t consider it this year.

I said: Since everyone has agreed, why won’t you let us get married?

The uncle said: Your father is cautious in doing things. After all, we have not been together for long. Your father is afraid that I am just passionate for a moment. It is said that time is the best thing to test a person. As long as you are not married, there is still a way out. Your father thinks a lot about you, but it doesn’t matter. As long as you agree, it’s fine to wait for a few years. I can wait.

I asked: Is that all he said? Then why did he send me away?

The uncle said: What’s more, he told me to make sure I take measures and made me promise to him in person. My face turned red when he said that.

I chuckled.

The uncle added: I have guaranteed everything I can in front of your father.

I asked curiously: What did you say to my dad?

He hugged me and said: I won’t tell you.

I said: If you don’t tell me, I will crush you to pieces, believe it or not?

He looked at me with a wicked smile and said: If you are willing to be a widow for the rest of your life, then do it.

I smiled and kissed him on the mouth, then on his neck, then snuggled into his arms.

I said: I can’t bear to do that.

He hugged me tightly and said: Okay, little one, go to bed, you have to go to work tomorrow.

I said: Well, good night, husband.

He bent down, kissed my forehead and said: Good night, baby.

……

The next day, after we got up and had breakfast, he went to the company with me.

When I arrived at the company, Uncle Chen had not arrived yet. He walked around our department office as if he was visiting.

Then my colleagues in the same department started to ask me: Jia Jia, is this your boyfriend?

I said: Yes, my boyfriend.

The uncle also greeted them with a smile, then he pulled me aside and said he wanted to treat my colleagues to a meal. He asked me what they liked to eat, and said he wanted to treat the entire company.

I said, "Are you sick? Are you going to invite the whole company? There are hundreds of people in our company, and we don't know many of them. If you want to invite people, just invite our department. Here, the relationship between departments is not very good, and there are often quarrels.

The uncle said: Okay, I'll listen to you and invite your department.

I said: Why don’t we order KFC? Those people love to eat junk food and only like grilled wings and fried chicken and so on.

The uncle said: OK. Then he threw his phone to me and said: Order it yourself, don't save money for me.

I took his phone without hesitation and ordered a lot of things.

A short while after we ordered, Uncle Chen came and the uncle went to Uncle Chen’s office. He didn’t come out until we finished eating KFC.

I was busy almost the entire morning, and when I finished, it was already lunch time, and other colleagues in my department had already gone to eat.

I turned around and looked at the door of Uncle Chen's office for a while, and just happened to see the uncle coming out.

He looked at me, walked up to me and said: Little thing, come with me and book a restaurant.

I said: Do you want to treat me to a meal?

The uncle said: Yes, I have already talked to your Uncle Chen and asked him to invite all the leaders of your company.

I didn't say anything, just stood up and followed him out.

There is a delicious restaurant near our company, and colleagues often go there for dinner. I took the uncle there to have a look, but he said it was not high enough and he insisted on going to a star-rated hotel.

There was no choice, so he drove me to the best hotel in the county, which was a bit far away.

He said that Uncle Chen was very polite and gave him a lot of profits, so he couldn't be stingy and had to give Uncle Chen enough face.

After ordering the dishes, he called Uncle Chen, told him the box number, and asked them to come over by themselves.

Then we waited in the box.

I thought about it and suddenly felt that it was not appropriate for me to do so, because the leaders in my company are basically men. It would be awkward for a girl like me to be sandwiched between a bunch of big men. Besides, they probably don’t know about our relationship yet. If they knew, I’m afraid there would be a lot of gossip.

Thinking of this, I said to the uncle: Honey, I won’t eat with you guys. I’ll go back to the company first. It’s not appropriate for me to be here.

The uncle hurriedly said: It doesn’t matter, since you are here, eat before leaving, and I will say you are my girlfriend.

But I insisted on leaving, and he had no choice but to let me go. Besides, guests were coming soon, and he couldn't send me back. I took a taxi back at the hotel entrance, and then found a fast food restaurant downstairs from the company and had a quick meal.

After eating, I went back to work.

It was not until about one o'clock in the afternoon that a group of leaders came back from lunch and walked into the office chatting and laughing. The uncle was with them. Then I saw Zhenzhen was there too. I was quite surprised because Zhenzhen hadn't been to Uncle Chen's company for several years.

She stood next to the uncle carrying a bag, and Uncle Chen stood next to Zhenzhen.

The group of people said a few words at the door, and then dispersed. The uncle turned around and looked at me and walked towards me, and Zhenzhen followed behind him...

The uncle walked to my desk and said: Little thing, I'm going home.

I looked at him and nodded, then looked at Zhenzhen behind him.

The uncle noticed that I was looking at Zhenzhen, so he turned around and looked at Zhenzhen, then hurriedly said to me: Oh, by the way, Zhenzhen said she would go to the city in the afternoon too, and asked me to take her there.

My first reaction was, doesn’t Zhenzhen have a car? Didn’t Uncle Chen give her the newly bought Bentley? Why did she have to go up with Uncle Chen’s car? Where was her own car?

But there were so many people in the office, including Zhenzhen, so I didn’t want to ask.

I looked at the two of them, then nodded to the uncle and said: Well, then you go back, drive slowly on the road, and send me a WeChat message when you arrive.

The uncle smiled and nodded at me and said: Well, I'll go back then.

After saying that, he turned to Zhenzhen and said: Let’s go, Zhenzhen.

Zhenzhen also smiled and waved her hand at me and said: Sister Jiajia, let’s go.

I smiled and nodded at her. Then they went out.

Seeing him leave, I suddenly felt a little uneasy. Could it be that Zhenzhen has fallen in love with Zheng XX?

Ever since Zhenzhen had been asking Uncle Chen questions about cooperation on Saturday, I felt something was a little weird.

I hope I'm just overthinking it.

Actually, I don't know much about Zhenzhen. Although we have known each other since childhood, we seldom meet. She received better education than me. Uncle Chen sent her to school in the city since junior high school. After she finished school in the city, Uncle Chen sent her to study in the UK.

Originally, after she came back from studying abroad, Uncle Chen planned to let her come to work in the company, but she doesn't like working and likes freedom. Now she opened a store in the city and is the boss. I'm not sure what kind of store it is, it seems to be similar to a coffee shop. My father told me that the store she opened is in the red every month, and Uncle Chen has to advance the money. Every time they play mahjong, Uncle Chen has to nag a few words. She hangs out with those friends all day and rarely goes back to the county. She feels like a rich second-generation who is not doing her job properly.
