Xi Jingchen sat in the car, but he did not immediately start the car. His pair of deep eyes stared into the distance, his thoughts unfathomable.
He did not doubt Duan Shuxian's feelings for him at all. Now, standing in her position, he could understand her difficulties.
The Duan Clan was a family with great political power. The Duan Clan's old man was an elder, and Duan Deliang also held great power. This was also the reason why his mother had introduced Duan Shumin to him.
On the contrary, Duan Shuxian's parents lived a low-key and ordinary life. What she was avoiding was not their feelings, but the pressure of her family.
As a filial and kind girl, she chose to maintain the harmony of the Duan Clan instead of blindly stiffening their relationship.
Xi Jingchen squinted his eyes, his thin lips lifting into a smile. The light in his eyes was still like a tightly woven net, preparing to capture his prey.
"I said I would wait for you." Xi Jingchen muttered to himself.
If what she needed was time, he wouldn't force her. He could wait, but the prerequisite was that she was not allowed to marry another man, or even fall in love.
Give each other some time! Xi Jingchen would not disturb her for a short period of time, but he would pay attention to everything about her.
In her mother's shop, this was the nth time that Duan Shu Xian had been stabbed by a rose thorn. There were a few small bleeding wounds on her palm, which made her so painful that she didn't dare to make a sound.
Because she deserved it! At a time like this, who could he blame for being so distracted?
"Shu Xian, come, send a bouquet of flowers for mother. This is the address. We'll be there after a walk." Li Yu handed a bouquet of beautifully wrapped flowers to her.
Duan Shu Xian also needed to take a walk. She reached out to take it. She knew the address.
After Duan Shu Xian sent the flowers, she did not immediately return to the shop. In the afternoon, there were not many customers in the shop, so she walked into a garden at the side to relax.
Unknowingly, it was already summer. She still remembered when she first met Xi Jingchen. It was early spring, and the slightly cool air made her recall that wonderful early spring aura even when she closed her eyes.
Unlike now, the strong summer sun was extremely dazzling. She chose a shady spot and took out earplugs from her small bag to listen to music. The artificial lake in the distance reflected the sky like a mirror. Everything was extremely quiet.
In the evening, she received a call from Auntie Huang. It turned out that Auntie Huang had left something behind and asked her to pick it up when she had time.
Duan Shu Xian gave it to her, so she wouldn't go back to school.
"Little Duan! That was really strange! Did you and Teacher Xi agree to leave the school together? "
"What?" Duan Shu Xian asked in surprise, "He also left school?"
"Don't you know? Aren't you guys dating? He doesn't know that you resigned, and you don't know that he left school? What are you two fighting about? "
"When did he leave school?" Duan Shu Xian's heart skipped a beat, why did he leave?
"I think it was his last class yesterday afternoon! I overheard some girls talking about it. You really don't know! "
Duan Shu Xian smiled bitterly, "I really don't know."
"Sigh! It's probably because you're gone, and it's boring for him to stay here! "Auntie Huang guessed.
Duan Shu Xian's eyes were dyed with grief, wasn't it? If he was no longer in school, then she would probably never see him again in her life! Maybe I'll see him on TV in the future.
Thinking about it, Duan Shu Xian felt bitterness welling up in her chest.
In the blink of an eye, a week had passed, and the Monday family dinner was here.
In the past week, Duan Shu Xian seemed to have become a soulless person. During the day, she worked hard in her mother's shop, but at night, her heart was empty. She bit her arm and hid under the blanket several times, crying like a child.
However, in front of her parents, she was talking and laughing as usual, making it impossible for anyone to see her sadness.
At around four in the afternoon, Li Yu saw that her clothes had touched something dirty, and she couldn't help but urge her, "Shu Xian, go back and change your clothes! Go to Uncle's house for dinner tonight and dress decently. "
Duan Shu Xian lowered her head and looked at her clothes. She nodded, "Alright!"
Duan Shu Xian took off her apron and walked out of her mother's shop with a small bag on her back. She was dressed in a fresh white dress, and her long hair was tied into a bun, revealing an extremely exquisite face.
She raised her face slightly and stood in front of the flower shop, waiting for the car. The artistic wall behind her gave her a pure, elf-like aura.
Bai Xia stretched out her hand to stop the taxi a few times, but to no avail. She could only sigh helplessly.
In the parking space opposite her, a black car had been parked for an unknown period of time. Through the pitch-black window, a pair of deep eyes were quietly staring at the girl who was taking a taxi.
Seeing her pursing her red lips gloomily, her pretty face slightly flushed, the man almost wanted to get out of the car and send her off.
However, he still suppressed this impulse. Since he didn't want to disturb her, he had to do it. At the very least, he wouldn't appear in front of her right now.
"Young Master, do you need to send Miss Duan off?" the bodyguard in the driver's seat asked.
"No need." Xi Jingchen replied in a low voice.
Duan Shu Xian bit her red lips. Not being able to hit a taxi was a very helpless thing, but she was also optimistic. Since she couldn't wait for a taxi, then she would just stay in a daze for a while!
Duan Shu Xian's eyes flashed, as if she was immersed in her own thoughts. She didn't know that all of her exquisite expressions were seen by the man in front of her. Xi Jingchen pursed his lips, and from time to time, a smile would flash across his face. Looking at the cute girl who was in a daze, it was as if he was admiring a lively painting.
At Duan Shu Xian's feet, a puppy was running around randomly, wanting to run into the busy street. She was shocked and quickly squatted down to pick up the puppy.
The little milk dog was immediately hugged in a daze. One of its owners also chased after it, "Xiao Ba, what are you running around for!"
Duan Shu Xian took the opportunity to pet the puppy's head, pinched the puppy's mouth, and returned it to the mistress. "Thank you, Miss. I just bought it. It's always running around." The mistress was very grateful that she had just saved her beloved pet.
"So cute." Duan Shu Xian smiled and rubbed the puppy's head again. The little guy was extremely cute.
When the man in front of her saw how much she loved little animals, a smile appeared in his eyes. He began to think that he would allow her to raise a dog in the future.
Just then, a taxi stopped in front of Duan Shu Xian. Someone got off the taxi, and Duan Shu Xian quickly stepped forward to stop the taxi to go home.
When the taxi left, the black car in front of them also left.
When Duan Shu Xian returned home, the black car disappeared into the crowd of cars.
Duan Shu Xian walked into the room and opened the wardrobe. She looked at the latest dress that her mother had bought for her. She still chose the simplest combination, a white T-shirt and jeans.
Duan Shumin did not look for her again, but she knew that this sisterly relationship had already become indifferent. She even had a premonition that it would never recover in this lifetime. The Duan Shumin of that day was extremely unfamiliar to her.
At 5: 30, Duan Deming's car was waiting for her downstairs. Li Yu prepared two more bouquets of fresh flowers and sent them to the Duan Clan.
The Duan Residence was bathed in the evening light, it was a spectacular sight. Duan Deming's car drove in, Duan Shu Xian carried her small bag and lowered her eyes, following her parents towards the direction of the hall.
At this time, he saw Old Man Duan practicing Taiji Fist in the small garden at the side. Duan Shu Xian walked towards his grandfather and greeted him.
"Grandfather."
"Shu Xian, you're here." Old Man Duan retracted his fist and wiped his sweat. His face was flushed red, and he looked very healthy.
Old Man Duan couldn't help but be surprised. He didn't expect that his little granddaughter was already a slim and graceful young lady.
Duan Deming also came over to chat with Teacher Duan, while Li Yu went to chat with Song Meilan. Duan Shu Xian, this junior, was taking a walk in the garden. Although she had been a guest of the Duan Clan since she was young, even if she didn't have a true separation, she couldn't find the feeling of home here.
As she walked, Duan Shu Xian turned a corner and heard a voice calling out to her from behind.
"Shu Xian, come here."
Duan Shu Xian's heart skipped a beat. She turned around and saw Duan Shumin, who had returned at some point in time.
"Sister Min." Duan Shu Xian turned around and greeted. “
"I have something to tell you." Duan Shumin opened her mouth and looked at her with a scrutinizing gaze. If he wanted to chat with more like-minded people about "CEO Daddy is super awesome", he would follow "Reading Literature" on WeChat.
"Talk about life, find a bosom friend ~"
