Xia An 'an felt that her life now was very simple but sweet.
She never needed the status of a rich lady. As long as she could stay by Si Lijue's side, wait for him to come home every day, cook for him, massage his shoulders when she was tired, and the two of them could hold hands and look forward to the future together. To her, that was the most blissful thing.
She was just an ordinary person now, so she had the most simple thoughts of an ordinary person.
An 'an family for the rest of their lives.
She wished so much that this moment could last a little longer, just a little longer.
It would be best if time stopped at this moment forever.
He Nianchu still came over occasionally. Every time she saw Xia An 'an and Si Lijue flaunting their love as if there was no one else around, she felt that it was an eyesore. Then, she would come over when Si Lijue wasn't around.
"Xia An 'an, have you already forgotten our agreement?"
He Nianchu said in an unfriendly tone.
Xia An 'an lowered her eyes and said, "No."
"No, then what are you doing now?"
He Nianchu was so angry that she wanted to laugh. The image of her and Si Lijue being an "old married couple" was still vivid in her mind. Just thinking about it gave her a headache. This damned woman, she was obviously trying to anger her!
"Miss He, I want to ask you, what are you doing now? You said that you would help Sir get that project, but it's been so long and there's been no news at all. Why should I believe that you can help Sir? "
Xia An 'an's attacks on this point were well-tested.
He Nianchu gritted her teeth in anger. She said fiercely, "Even if I can't help Ah Jue get this project, it doesn't change the fact that I'm Family He's Miss and you're just a commoner with no power or influence!"
Fortunately, Xia Anan was already used to being beaten down, so he was already indifferent to such words.
She said calmly, "You can say whatever you want. Anyway, if we can't fulfill our agreement, it will be void and I won't help you pursue Sir."
Seeing Xia An 'an's arrogant attitude, He Nianchu was flustered and exasperated. "You dare to speak to me like this now, isn't it because my brother is willing to help you? That's why you're so fearless, right? "
Xia An 'an raised her brows slightly. She looked at He Nianchu indifferently and said, "That is indeed the case. Then what can you do to me?"
"Xia An 'an, you!"
"Miss He, please mind your manners. You're a model socialite. Don't act like a shrew."
Xia An 'an warned.
When He Nian saw Xia An 'an's "arrogance" for the first time, his heart bled with hatred.
If it wasn't for his brother clearly wanting to protect this ugly woman, this ugly woman wouldn't have been able to ride on his head.
However, there was nothing she could do now. She glared hatefully at Xia An 'an and said, "Xia An' an, let's wait and see. Do you really think you can grow old together with Ah Jue? Do you think the Si family is a decoration? Just you wait, even if I don't torture you, the Si family will torture you to death! "
With that, He Nianchu left in a huff.
When Xia An 'an saw that He Nianchu had left, all the energy in his body dissipated.
Actually, she was bluffing just now. Although He Sijie treated her well, she wasn't sure how far he could protect her. However, Xia An 'an knew that He Nianchu was bluffing, so she didn't dare to use force. It wouldn't do her any good.
However, this time, she mentioned the Si family. Xia An 'an had no choice but to bring up the issue that she had been avoiding in the past.
The Si family would never accept a woman like her, right?
Humans were really greedy creatures.
In the past, she only hoped to take good care of Si Lijue. She would be satisfied if he could eat her cooking.
After she fell in love with Si Lijue, she hoped that they could grow old together.
Now that they were in love, Xia An 'an would think again. Wouldn't it be great if the Si family liked her?
Greed was endless. When this wish came true, she would look forward to the next wish.
There was no end to it.
The Si family would never accept an ugly woman with a scar on her face as their daughter-in-law.
Xia An 'an was well aware of this.
She only hoped that the Si family wouldn't come looking for her. She wanted this sweet time to last forever.
At night.
Xia An 'an returned to her room and was about to rest when her phone rang.
It was her foster mother.
"An 'an, how have you been recently? Has Ah Jue been eating well? "
Xia An 'an heard her foster mother's anxious tone and smiled. "Mom, don't worry. Ah Jue comes home every day to eat. His work and rest have become more regular. I'll be by his side to keep an eye on him."
Her foster mother was gratified. "It seems like he trusts you a lot now."
Xia An 'an thought about it. There was no ambiguity in her words. She didn't mention her relationship with Si Lijue to her foster mother. She only said, "… Yes, Ah Jue trusts me a lot now. Our relationship is very good."
"Very good? Really? "
Her foster mother was a little excited.
"… Yes."
"Then do you know why there hasn't been any news about Ah Jue and that … Yes, Miss He recently? In the past, I often saw them together in magazines, but now the media rarely reports about them. Did they quarrel? "
Her foster mother said worriedly.
Xia An 'an's heart immediately tensed up. She subconsciously clutched the blanket.
How was she going to explain this to her foster mother?
Si Lijue only liked her now. He wasn't interested in other women. He didn't even want to hear about the media's groundless rumors. He was afraid that she would be unhappy if she saw it.
She had to tell the truth.
Xia An 'an couldn't guarantee her foster mother's reaction.
After all, she wholeheartedly wanted a daughter-in-law from a rich family. Although her foster mother treated her very well, as long as it was related to Si Lijue, everything else had to stand aside. If her foster mother found out that she had taken the cabbage that she had been longing for, she might fall out with her on the spot.
Xia An 'an didn't want that to happen.
She laughed dryly and said, "It's probably because Ah Jue has been busy recently. He has to compete for a big project and has been working overtime recently. I don't think he has time to meet Miss He …"
"But you can't give her the cold shoulder." His adoptive mother disagreed. "The He family is famous. If he marries the daughter of the He family, his career will definitely prosper. I've also asked around a lot about Miss He. That lady is really one in a million. She's beautiful, has a good personality, and is also multi-talented. She's such a good lady.
You can't let her go. "
Xia An 'an felt a little uncomfortable. But she didn't want her foster mother to worry, so she agreed.
"Oh right, An 'an, how is your relationship with Miss He?"
Her foster mother asked.
Xia An 'an thought about how she had driven her away in anger during the day. Their relationship should be quite bad …
She forced a smile and said, "Haha, I'm just a maid. She's a noble. We don't have much interaction."
"Oh, I see."
Her foster mother sounded a little disappointed and said regretfully, "I was thinking that if you have a good relationship with Miss He, you should talk some sense into her and let her have confidence in Ah Jue. Since you don't have much interaction with her, then forget it."
Xia An 'an felt a little guilty when she heard that.
