Chapter 418: 387 Marriage is originally a big gamble (1 more update)

Two insomniac sisters-in-misery began a session of mutual comfort.

Sun Qing: [What’s going on? A happy little woman whose wishes come true, satisfied in life, and you still can’t sleep? Could it be that Doctor Lu didn’t satisfy you?]

It’s normal for adults to talk about slightly risqué topics.

Sun Qing’s bold chatter could only show off in front of Tang Su, anyway, Tang Su, a writer of romance novels, Sun Qing felt that even if Tang Su didn’t understand, she would learn some theoretical knowledge.

Tang Su had corrected her countless times, saying that she wrote romance novels, yet Sun Qing would always reply, isn’t there a relationship between love and lust?

In the end, Tang Su gave up on correcting her.

Tang Su’s cheeks instantly turned hot, not quite as wild as Sun Qing.

And here they were at the beginning, the topic was already explosive, how could she proceed with the conversation?

Tang Su: [What about you? How did it go with your arranged date with Bai Dingxian?]

Sun Qing: [(Sigh) Well, what can I say? He agreed to be my boyfriend.]

Tang Su frowned: [He agreed to be your boyfriend, yet you sigh? What’s there to sigh about?]

Sun Qing: [I don’t know, on the surface it seems I got what I wished for, but, I just sent him a ’good night’ message and he still hasn’t replied. Now I can’t sleep.]

Tang Su, speechless: [Seriously? Just because he didn’t reply to one ’good night’ message, you can’t sleep? Since when did you become so sensitive and fragile?]

Sun Qing: [It’s not that I’m sensitive or fragile, but tell me, when you and Lu Han just started dating, weren’t you both very affectionate? If you sent Lu Han a message, wouldn’t he reply to you right away?]

[Now, whenever you two make eye contact, it’s so sweet it could pull sugar strings, but for us, we’ve just begun and it’s as if we’re like an old married couple who run out of things to say.]

Tang Su: ...

Sun Qing was right, but did she really fancy a boyfriend who was sweet enough to pull sugar strings?

If she did, wouldn’t she have ended up with one of her ex-boyfriends a long time ago?

Tang Su: [Bai Dingxian’s temperament might be a bit cold. You have to melt him slowly, don’t be impatient. Besides, the way you two got together is different from me and Lu Han.]

Sun Qing: [Yeah, our story is different from yours. My grandfather wants me to marry him first, he says that Grandfather Bai feels the same way.]

[Tang Bao, do you think it’s possible for us to have a marriage first, love later?]

Tang Su: ...

Sun Qing was ready to make a huge bet, huh?

A marriage before love?

It really sounds like something out of a romance novel... Oh no, romance, not erotica, right?

How many real-life stories are there of love after marriage?

In a rush, Sun Qing: [What do you think? Tang Bao, help me out. I really have no idea what to do.]

Tang Su still understood Sun Qing: [It’s not that you have no idea, you probably have thought about marrying him already, haven’t you? If you were unwilling, you wouldn’t have come to ask me, you would have directly refused Grandfather Sun.]

Sun Qing: ...

Indeed, a best friend is really a best friend, especially since they had practically grown up together.

To say that Tang Su knew what was going on in her gut was not an exaggeration.

Sun Qing: [Marriage is always a gamble, and that’s something said by a buddy from your circle.]

Tang Su: "That’s because they can afford to lose, so they’re not scared. That’s why they dare to bet big. We’re both ordinary people. I think we should play it safe. Don’t you agree?"

Sun Qing also knew this to be true, but—

Sun Qing: "Then tell me, whether Bai Dingxian really counts as a good man. Grandfather Bai said that his first girlfriend was me. Nowadays, I feel that finding a man as pure-hearted as him is really rare."

"After all, you and your Doctor Lu have had past relationships. Your ex keeps popping up, bothering you both. But Doctor Lu’s ex will rest in peace forever."

Tang Su: "..."

Sun Qing: "Compared to that, I feel quite awful, like I don’t deserve him."

Tang Su: "He’s already agreed to be your boyfriend, so he definitely feels you are worthy of him. Stop worrying about that. However, Bai Dingxian is an emergency room doctor, far busier than Lu Han."

"I think you need to be mentally prepared. They, as doctors, have to be responsible for their patients when working, and even during their time off, they must continually keep up with their studies. In short, if you want a very grounded life, that might be possible. But if you’re looking for romantic gestures, I think you might as well give up early. Bai Dingxian can’t give you that kind of lifestyle."

Sun Qing echoed: "That’s right, Tang Bao, you’re so right. I had thought of all of this before and, not too long ago, I saw it too. Thank you, Tang Bao, for talking to me like this. Suddenly, it all makes sense."

Tang Su, puzzled: "You’ve figured it out?"

Sun Qing: "Yeah, I’ve figured it out."

Tang Su was still puzzled: "What have you figured out? What’s your final decision?"

Sun Qing: "Of course, to proceed carefully with this relationship. Like you said, be patient, melt his heart slowly. Since he’s a good man worth spending my life with, I’ve decided, as long as he doesn’t object, I’ll accept Grandfather Bai’s offer to have a joint wedding with you all. You won’t oppose that, will you?"

Tang Su: ...

She naturally wouldn’t object to having a joint wedding.

But what she was puzzled about was, what did she say to make Sun Qing make such a decision? To really marry Bai Dingxian?

Sun Qing waited for a while but didn’t get a reply from Tang Su. Instead of typing, she sent a voice message directly, "What’s the matter? Tang Bao, are you not happy about it?"

Tang Su replied with a voice message, "It’s not that I’m unhappy. Having a joint wedding, of course, makes me happy. I’m just worried about you, whether you’re being too impulsive."

"I’m not being impulsive. My grandfather also wants to see me get married."

"..."

"Alright, since you’ve made up your mind, I support you," Tang Su replied.

"Thank you, Tang Bao. I can sleep now. What about you? What’s really going on with you and Doctor Lu? Don’t tell me he really can’t perform."

Tang Su was worried about her, and she was worried about Tang Su too.

Platonic marriages are grand, but that only works if both parties agree to it.

If even one of them has normal needs, a sexless marriage becomes a torture.

No matter how much love there is now, it will be hard to endure in the end.

"That’s not it. Lu Han wants us to wait until we’re legally married to complete that act."

"When are you getting your license?"

"Next Wednesday."

"That’s only three days away. During these three days, you guys could decide to not do anything. But you can still test the waters, see if he’s actually capable. Tang Bao, I know you love Lu Han, but you have to think about your own happiness, okay?"

Tang Su: "..."
