There are no leftover women in France
● Hou Chaoyang
In the second half of 2018, due to the company's business expansion, I was sent to the French headquarters for half a year of study. In this country known for its romance, I found an interesting phenomenon: There are many unmarried young women in France, but there are no so-called “leftover women”.
40-year-old Chloe
Just arrived in Paris, I quickly saw the beautiful boss who came to pick me up, Ms. Chloe in her 40s. She was wearing a black knitted tight dress with a skirt-like black trench coat. The long hair pouring down from the linen shawl that has been carefully taken care of makes her figure more exquisite. Chloe has a delicate face with delicate makeup on her eyes. When she stretched out her hand to embrace me, her delicate hands with silver-white nails were exquisite, mixed with the faint fragrance of her body, from top to bottom. They are full of the beauty of youth. However, before I came, a colleague told me that although Chloe is beautiful and elegant, she is like a "leftover woman" like me who is more than 10 years younger than her. However, she has clear eyes and elegant temperament between her gestures, and there is no such thing as a "leftover woman." "Inferiority complex.
Along the way, Chloe introduced me in detail about all aspects of the French headquarters. She spoke with witty remarks, and the small humor that popped out from time to time made me leaned forward and backward. Although it was the first time I met, there was no sense of alienation from strangers.
The company did not arrange for employees to live, Chloe warmly invited me to live in her house. It was a large three-bedroom apartment with a cat besides Chloe and me. I was just about to put my toiletries in the bathroom, but inadvertently saw the men's razor and slippers in the bathroom. I was stunned-isn't Chloe single? Have you found your "true son"?
"Those are Dean's supplies." Chloe saw my doubts and answered happily, "We have been together for 6 years, and you will see him soon. Trust me, baby, him. He's a very cute guy. But don't worry, he doesn't live with me often, but occasionally spends a night."
Love has nothing to do with marriage
Sure enough, I saw Dean back from a business trip a few days later.To my surprise, he was not a "single uncle" at the same age as Chloe, but a young talent of just over 30 years old.
After politely greeted him, Deenza put on his apron and went into the kitchen, while Chloe continued to hold the cat and chat with me leisurely. I can’t help but feel surprised: In China, almost every household has a wife preparing soup for a late husband. How can a big man just go home and enter the kitchen after finishing his work? Facing my doubts, Chloe was very puzzled—"You are my friend, why should I leave my friends to make dinner?" Chloe said with a smile, "Don't move out of China as a good wife and mother. In theory, I'm just his girlfriend."
In the past six years, Dean has repeatedly proposed to Chloe to marry him, but she refused. She enjoys this "unmarried" life with equal identities, and is unwilling to use a marriage certificate to restrict the relationship between the two.
