Xi Jingchen sat in front of his desk, holding a book in his hands as he read. Seeing his serious look, Chu Yue couldn't help but sigh, was it because of the pressure on him since he was young, causing him to lose some of the vitality that a young man should have? Logically speaking, at his age, if he met a beautiful girl, he wouldn't be so calm.
"Mom!" Xi Jingchen turned his chair and called out to Chu Yue who was walking in.
Chu Yue sat on the sofa opposite him, looked at him, and directly asked, "How is Miss Duan?"
Xi Jingchen laughed, "Your choice, of course it's very good."
"This is not my choice. I am creating an opportunity for you to choose. Mom has no intention of forcing you." Chu Yue also expressed her attitude.
Xi Jingchen pursed his lips and thought for a few seconds, "Mom, if you let me choose, can you give me another year?"
Chu Yue was slightly surprised, what did her son need a year for? If he liked Duan Shumin and wanted to understand each other, a few months would be enough.
"Do you like Miss Duan?" Chu Yue asked directly.
Xi Jingchen's cultivation prevented him from directly judging whether a person was good or bad. He smiled, "She's very good, but I don't have any thoughts of getting to know her better."
Chu Yue understood her son the most. Hearing this, she understood that her son was not interested in Duan Shumin, but she could understand that the two hearts that had suddenly been brought together would definitely not be able to merge immediately.
"Alright, I won't interfere with you anymore. If you see her in the future, you can try to get to know her." Chu Yue also gave her son the chance to choose freely.
However, she was still very satisfied with Duan Shumin. In the future, if Duan Shumin were to meet him at the place where her son worked, she might be able to gradually develop feelings for him. She was not in a hurry, her original intention was to find a lover who could accompany his heart.
Because she knew how happy it was to find such a lover, just like how she and Xi FengHan had walked their entire lives together. She felt that her life with him was not in vain.
"Mom, don't worry, your son isn't bad either." Xi Jingchen comforted her.
Chu Yue burst out laughing, "You are my son, of course you won't be bad."
He did not mention about meeting Duan Shu Xian, because he and Duan Shu Xian had not developed into a boyfriend and girlfriend relationship. If his mother knew about this, she would definitely understand her, and even if his mother's people were very careful to understand everything about her, he did not want Duan Shu Xian's life to be disturbed, and he did not have the right to do so.
He asked his mother for a year's time. In this year, he could boldly pursue the feelings he wanted.
"Mom, if one day I meet a girl who doesn't have an outstanding family background, will you and dad stop us from dating?" Xi Jingchen asked his mother seriously.
Chu Yue was startled, she thought about it seriously, "Mom and your dad will not stop you, but, you have to let the other party know what you will do in the future, whether the future life she will face is what she wants, if she dares to face everything in the future with you, no matter what kind of storms and setbacks she experiences, she will still be by your side without any regrets, then you can rest assured and bring her home.
As Xi Jingchen listened to his mother's words, a hint of worry surfaced in his heart. As expected, as a member of the royal family, the emotional pressure he wanted did not come from his family, but from his identity.
He could not be like an ordinary person. In the future, his other half had to share his mission. He also had to bravely face the future of this country, which was accompanied by the same dangers as him.
The higher the status, the greater the danger.
In the end, Chu Yue understood her son. For him to have such a problem, could it be that he already had someone he liked in his heart? And the other party was an ordinary person?
"Jingchen, Mom has something to say first. If the other party only wants wealth and power, I will definitely not allow you to bring him home." Chu Yue warned him gently, indicating that his eyes should be brighter and not be blinded by his choice of the other half.
Xi Jingchen stood up and sat beside her, reached out to embrace her, and replied with a smile, "I understand, Mom."
Chu Yue turned her head to look at her son's extraordinarily handsome face. She really hoped that the heavens would treat her son well and grant him a good fate, so that he would not experience any more emotional pain.
After Chu Yue left the study room, Xi Jingchen looked at his wrist watch, which showed that it was already three in the afternoon.
At this time, Duan Shu Xian should have invited Jiang Ning to the cinema.
Perhaps they could even have dinner together tonight. Imagining Jiang Ning and her figures under the romantic light, he felt an inexplicable trace of jealousy.
However, Duan Shu Xian did not eat with Jiang Ning. After the two of them finished watching the movie, Jiang Ning really wanted to treat her to a meal, but she tactfully rejected him.
Duan Shu Xian went home at night to look at the information. She felt that she really couldn't continue to be so lazy. She was going to take the postgraduate entrance examination next year, and she had to find her own life goal. Even if she was really ordinary, she couldn't continue to be ordinary.
Recently, Duan Deming had been paying attention to her movements and thoughts. He was also worried that Duan Shu Xian would not be able to forget Xi Jingchen. That must be a man with a noble status and an extraordinary bearing. He didn't want his daughter to become the First Lady in the future and deal with the center of power, enjoying the power and wealth while carrying unbearable pressure.
Furthermore, Xi Jingchen and his niece had gone on a blind date, so he couldn't let his daughter participate. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to explain it to his big brother.
Duan Shu Xian came out to pour some water. Seeing her father on the sofa watching TV in a daze, she casually said, "Dad, can you collect more information about this for me next time?"
Duan Deming regained his senses. Hearing his daughter's words, he smiled in satisfaction, "Alright, don't be too tired."
"En!" Duan Shu Xian poured a cup of water and went in again.
At around eleven o'clock, she closed the information, held a cup of water, and looked out the window at the deep night sky. Her mind was empty, and a face appeared. That pair of eyes that she was addicted to, that pair of eyes that no matter how far away they were, as long as he looked at her, he would be able to fill her heart.
Duan Shu Xian's eyes were slightly moist. She now understood that in this world, there really was a kind of person that she didn't even dare to think about, let alone love!
If he wanted to, he could only think about it secretly in the middle of the night.
On Monday, Duan Shu Xian became busy again. Every Monday was the time for the library to purchase new books. There would be a lot of new books arriving, and a few more bookshelves would be added. There were a lot of books that needed to be adjusted.
Duan Shu Xian pushed the unpopular books that she had collected and prepared to put them on another bookshelf. She was pulling out a book, and just as she pulled it out, a figure appeared from the other side of the bookshelf, as if there was a person reading a book on the other side of the bookshelf.
Duan Shu Xian was shocked. A student came over so early?
"Do you need help?" A low voice came from the empty library.
Duan Shu Xian's heart trembled. Was it an illusion? He actually heard Xi Jingchen's voice, but today was Monday! What was wrong with her?
Just when Duan Shu Xian thought that it was an illusion, a handsome man in a suit suddenly walked out from the bookshelf beside her. The book in Duan Shu Xian's hand fell to the ground with a thud, and she looked at the man walking towards her with a dumbfounded expression.
Xi Jingchen couldn't help but smile as he squatted down and picked up the book on the ground. He patted off the dust and handed it over to her, "Scared you?"
Duan Shu Xian quickly took the book over, she forced herself to calm down and shook her head with a smile, "No! Today is Monday, why are you here?
"After saying that, she turned around and pretended to put the book down. However, as she was pushing it, she realized that this was clearly the cold sound of her pulling it out and putting it on another shelf. She embarrassedly pulled it back and put it on the cart.
"I'm here to borrow a book." The man's excuse was very sufficient.
Duan Shu Xian was startled, and looked at him.
He came all the way here just to borrow a book? Could it be that the bookshelf collection in his Pavilion Lord Manor wasn't as much as here? What kind of book did he want?
"Is the movie good?" Xi Jingchen asked curiously.
Duan Shu Xian was startled. Was he referring to the movie on Saturday? She smiled. "It's very good."
"I want to see it too, but no one invited me." Xi Jingchen stared at her with some resentment. That day, he clearly wanted to go and see, but she rejected him.
Duan Shu Xian was startled. Didn't she know who this man was? He still wanted to go to the movies?
"This movie will be available on the computer soon. Just wait a little longer!" Duan Shu Xian comforted him. If he wanted to talk about "CEO Daddy is so awesome" with more like-minded people, follow "You Read Literature" on WeChat.
