Chapter 328 Chapter 328: Her Husband Is the Boss (10) Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
"It's not bad, work isn't too tiring . South Side is a high-end hospital, so the work environment and facilities are pretty modern . "
"That's great! My mom told me that you're a really hard-working person, and although you didn't go to a top university, you worked diligently since your graduation and was promoted again and again . I enjoy being around people like you, it gives me positive energy . "
"Um… thanks for the compliment . "
"You know what I do, right? I'm currently the Deputy Manager of our bank's Credit and Loans Department, and I've gotten a couple of raises . But that isn't my ultimate goal – I plan on becoming our department's director within 5 years . I know it'll be hard, but I won't give up . "
"That's really nice, it's good to have a dream . I hope you can succeed in it . "
Although to her, Xu Liang was no more than a passerby, Huo Mian was still impressed by his positive outlook on life .
Xu Liang laughed, "Whales and sharks swim upstream; dead fish float downstream . "
"Haha… that's an interesting way of thinking . "
"Oh right, I heard that you broke up with your boyfriend . "
"Yeah, we broke up . Auntie Wu's met him before . "
"So, do you plan on dating or getting married anytime soon?" Xu Liang probed .
"Not yet . " Huo Mian realized where he was going, so she immediately nipped his thought in the bud .
"Really? That's a shame, my mom said that we would make a good couple . After all, we've known each other since we were kids and are aware of each other's' characters . Plus, our jobs are both stable, so if we get married, our quality of life won't be bad . "
"Haha… thanks for thinking so highly of me, but… relationships are complicated . Sometimes those who don't seem to match end up dating, while those who seem to match don't end up going anywhere . "
"There's a pub up front, do you want to go in for a drink?" Xu Liang was still in high spirits .
"I'm sorry, but I'm a little busy tonight . I need to leave now . "
"Oh, okay, what's your WeChat number? I can add you," Xu Liang said as he took out his phone .
"I don't use WeChat, and don't have time to use it anyways . "
"What about your phone number?" Xu Liang didn't want to give up .
"Um… Xu Liang, I'm sorry, but I don't think we should exchange our contact information . I don't think it'll work out between us . "
Xu Liang was surprised by Huo Mian's upfront rejection .
During his previous set-ups, it was the women who took the initiative . After all, he had a good job and came from a good family .
He originally thought that getting Huo Mian to date him was going to be easy as pie, but to his surprise, Huo Mian immediately rejected him .
"Nothing is certain; what if a possibility opens up in the future?" Xu Liang was unwilling to give up .
"There's no possibility, I'm really sorry if I sound offensive . I know that Auntie Wu did this out of the kindness of her heart, and I know that you're a good person . However, I should be able to make my own decisions, and I hope you can understand . " The truth was, Huo Mian really wanted to tell Xu Liang that she was married, but if Xu Liang told Auntie Wu, she would definitely tell her mother . Therefore, after a lot of consideration, Huo Mian decided to keep her mouth shut .
"Haha… okay then, if that's what you think, then I don't want to force you into anything . " Xu Liang smiled bitterly .
"Let's head back . " Huo Mian didn't want to waste any more time since everything was already out in the open .
After a while, Xu Liang and Huo Mian arrived back at her mother's house, and Auntie Wu left with Xu Liang .
Huo Mian sat down beside her mother and helped her with laundry .
Yang Meirong rubbed at a dirty shirt while she nonchalantly asked, "How did it go with Xu Liang?"
