Duan Shu Xian accompanied her mother until 6: 30 PM, and their family returned. Usually, at this time, it was the employees who managed and closed the shop.
The time to buy groceries and go home was the most leisurely for Duan Shu Xian. Her father watched the news and her mother cooked dinner. She could do whatever she wanted in her room without being disturbed at all.
But tonight she didn't want to do anything. She lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling. There were many things going on in her mind, as well as her father's warning to her today.
She had to listen to her father's words, because his words were also worried about her future. Even now, if she were to think about the future, as the wife of a country's President, would she be able to handle it? That would definitely require the most outstanding woman to complete. Perhaps a woman like her cousin would be suitable.
Duan Shu Xian was still young. Even though she was about to turn twenty-four, she was not prepared to get married, let alone marry a future Sir.
Duan Shu Xian calmed down. She needed to think about many things. She could not act recklessly and only seek the sweetness of love!
Although she had only known Xi Jingchen for a few months, not even a year, she knew that she liked him. She could even think of it as love, and she would never forget his bone-deep feelings for him for the rest of her life.
In the kitchen, Duan Deming was helping his wife pick vegetables. Li Yu was jokingly mentioning that someone was going to matchmake his daughter.
"Old Duan, do you have any special requirements for our daughter's future partner?" Li Yu asked her husband.
"As long as his character is good." Duan Deming didn't care too much about these things.
"I have a guest today. The last time I came to the shop to see Shu Xian, she said that her big sister's son has been working for five years. He's 27 this year, and I think the photo looks pretty good. Do you want to arrange for your daughter to meet him another day? "In fact, Li Yu also hoped to start checking his daughter earlier and pick a good family.
Duan Deming thought for a while and said, "There's no need for that for now. The main thing is that I want her to quit her job as a librarian and come to your shop to train."
"Old Duan, tell me the truth. What happened to you? Weren't you very happy when Shu Xian decided to work in the library? "Li Yu looked at her husband worriedly.
Duan Deming could only sigh, "Alright! I'll tell you, but you have to keep it a secret. Don't tell your daughter, and don't tell anyone else. "
"What's wrong?" Li Yu had never seen her husband chat with her so carefully.
"A while ago, a young professor came to our school. He was very close to Shu Xian, and Shu Xian was also quite satisfied with him. He was chasing after our daughter."
"Isn't that good? To be a professor at such a young age, he must be a good boy! Li Yu felt that this was a good thing.
Duan Deming shook his head and sighed, "That young professor is not an ordinary person. He is the son of an official, and he has an extremely powerful background. I'm afraid that Shu Xian is not worthy of him."
Li Yu was stunned. "Our daughter isn't that bad, right?"
Duan Deming's eyes were filled with absolute determination as he said, "I won't let my daughter marry someone with a political background. When you married me, didn't you also want to live a peaceful life with me?"
"Is the professor's family background that powerful?"
In short, it would be a huge mistake for our daughter to be together with him. "Duan Deming did not dare to reveal Xi Jingchen's identity.
Li Yu thought for a moment, then nodded, "Although I hope that my daughter will marry well, if her husband's family is too strong, she will be bullied when she marries in."
Duan Deming immediately replied, "So, I asked my daughter to leave school and go to your shop to help, avoiding developing with this teacher."
Li Yu nodded, "Alright! Let her come to the shop to help! "
Seeing that he had persuaded his wife, Duan Deming heaved a sigh of relief. When it was time to eat, he would mention this matter to his daughter.
It was clearly a string of numbers, but when this string of numbers was put together, it seemed to have an inexplicable majesty, causing her to not dare to disturb him. Duan Shu Xian held her phone and unknowingly flipped to Xi Jingchen's number.
She couldn't imagine what his life was like. She could only see him as a teacher in school, and once he left his identity as a teacher, he was the young master of the Pavilion Lord Manor.
If she had heard of such a person normally, she would not have been able to imagine what kind of royal and noble life it was. It was as if an ordinary person like her would never be able to step into his world.
Duan Shu Xian bit her lips. A normal couple would casually send a greeting over, but after hesitating for a long time, she still didn't dare to. Even though she had edited a sentence, she only asked him if he had eaten yet!
However, after hesitating for a moment, he still deleted it. He put the phone to the side and sank into his own thoughts.
To be honest, she didn't even have the space to imagine Xi Jingchen's real life! He didn't know what he was doing right now, where he was going, what kind of environment he was in, and what kind of person he was meeting.
Just as he was lost in his thoughts, Li Yu's voice sounded from outside, "Shu Xian, it's time to eat."
"Alright!" I'll be right out. "Duan Shu Xian hurriedly replied.
She pushed open the door and came out. There were three home-cooked dishes and a bowl of soup on the table. In a normal home, this kind of dinner was very warm.
Duan Shu Xian helped her parents bring out the food. Li Yu washed her hands and sat on the table with her husband.
Li Yu said to Duan Shu Xian, "Shu Xian, I'm lacking manpower in my shop right now. Do you want to come to my mother's shop to help?"
"Mom, if you're short on people, then hire another employee! I think you guys are pretty busy. "Duan Shu Xian suggested to her mother.
Duan Deming said seriously, "Shu Xian, I've thought about it and decided to let you quit your job as a librarian and go to your mother's shop to help."
She looked at her father, then at her mother. She shook her head, "I don't want to quit this job."
Duan Deming's face became unyielding, "You have to quit even if you don't want to. In any case, you can't work in school anymore. You know that Dad did this for your own good."
As Duan Shu Xian ate, her eyes suddenly became wet and tears started to fall. She felt extremely wronged by her father's toughness.
Li Yu was shocked, she looked at her husband, then looked at her daughter, "Shu Xian, why are you crying?"
Duan Shu Xian took the tissue at the side and wiped her tears clean. She held back her tears and said, "Dad, I beg you, let me work in school!"
"No, you have to leave school." Duan Deming also felt sorry for his daughter. He didn't want to force her like this.
However, only by letting her leave the school and sever the chance to meet would they be able to stop their relationship from developing.
"Shu Xian, your dad told me that you're dating a young teacher. I heard that the teacher's family background is very big, and your dad is worried that you'll be wronged if you marry into such a family."
Tears flashed in Duan Shu Xian's eyes. She knew that her father wouldn't reveal Xi Jingchen's identity.
"Mom, I like him." Duan Shu Xian could only tell her mother what she was thinking.
"You're not allowed to like him." Duan Deming suddenly slammed the table, staring at her so sternly before.
At the side, Li Yu was also shocked by her husband's sudden action. She was a little puzzled, why would her husband be so angry?
Duan Shu Xian bit her lips, she suddenly lost her appetite, she put down her chopsticks and stood up, "I'm going back to my room."
After saying that, she held back her tears and walked towards her room. Li Yu immediately got up to comfort her, and when she pushed open the door, she saw Duan Shu Xian lying on the bed crying.
Li Yu sat on the edge of the bed and gently advised, "Shu Xian, if there's anything you need, tell mom."
If her father allowed her to leave the school, it would mean that she would no longer have the chance to see Xi Jingchen. If she couldn't see him in the school, then she would really have to cut off all contact with him.
Duan Deming walked in and said to his wife, "Let me talk to her."
"Keep your voice down, don't scare the child!" Li Yu warned her husband.
Duan Deming was also angry just now, and now he felt very guilty.
Li Yu closed the door. Duan Deming sat on the edge of the bed and looked at his daughter lying there. Although he couldn't hear her crying, she was still sobbing.
"I don't even dare to tell your mother about Teacher Xi's identity. If she were to find out that he was Min Min's blind date, how scared do you think your mother would be?" If he wanted to talk about "CEO Daddy is super awesome" with more like-minded people, follow "Reading Literature" on WeChat.
