Thinking of this, she smiled bitterly and shook her head. Why did she think of him again
It really shouldn't be done.
After changing her clothes and sitting in the living room for a while, she received a call from Yunchuan, then locked the door and went downstairs.
When Yunchuan saw her, he came down from a distance and opened the passenger door for her like a gentleman.
"Thank you." She got in the car.
Yunchuan came over and tried to fasten her seat belt.
"Let me do it." She took it herself. Looking at Yun Chuan's face so close to her, her mind was filled with the scene of Ri and Ye Xiao in Tang Song's private garage, when she deliberately bit him in revenge...
It was said to be a bite, but in the end... it was actually an uncontrollable kiss...
As I was thinking, I became distracted and didn't even notice that the car had started moving.
"Su Su?"
It was only when Yunchuan called out for the third time that she suddenly came to her senses.
"Um?"
"What are you thinking about?" Yun Chuan looked at her inquiringly while driving, with a bit of worry in his eyes, "Are you worried about something?"
"No, I haven't." She shook her head, hiding all her worries out of habit, and smiled faintly, "I was thinking about stopping at Jincheng Department Store Plaza later. I want to buy something for my uncle and aunt. Last time... I'm sorry."
"Last time you suddenly disappeared, we were all scared."
"I'm not missing. It's just..." Bai Suye didn't say anything more. What happened that night, now it hurts to talk about it again...
That man gave me all the passion. I remember it deeply, and now the despair in my heart is as strong as that...
She didn't want to think about it anymore...
… … … …
Yun Chuan could see that she was worried, but she didn't want to talk about it, and he couldn't find a way to ask her. It seemed like things were developing slowly between them, but he knew very well that they were just moving in place and never took a step forward.
In her heart, there is a barrier that has never been opened. She can't get out, and others can't get in.
Yun Chuan always wondered who would be the man who could break through her iron wall. Or, could it be herself
He wasn't sure at all.
Yun Chuan stopped the car in front of Jincheng Department Store. Bai Suye said, "It's getting late, so we won't just go shopping. There's a store that the old lady often comes to. Let's go in and take a look at the clothes. If there's anything we think is suitable, we can buy it, okay?"
"You don't need to prepare anything. My mother is already very happy when you arrive."
"Consider it an apology." Bai Suye said apologetically as she walked into the mall with him shoulder to shoulder.
This store has the designs that old ladies like the most. They are fashionable but not too fancy, which is very suitable for their age.
Bai Suye looked around, picked out a few items, and asked Yunchuan for her opinion. Yunchuan thought she had good taste and nodded to everything she picked, which made it difficult for her to make a decision. After all, she didn't quite understand Yunmu and Yunfu's preferences, and was afraid that she would pick a style they didn't like.
Just as I was choosing, I heard footsteps suddenly. Then, all the shop assistants said in unison, respectfully, "Boss."
Bai Suye looked over in the direction of the voice and discovered that it was the owner of the department store who came to inspect.
But…
When she saw clearly that there was another tall man standing next to the boss, she froze. Her hands holding the clothes tensed. She never thought that she would meet him here...
"Hey, isn't this Mr. Yun?"
The owner of the department store discovered Yunchuan.
"Mr. Xiao, long time no see." Yun Chuan stepped forward and shook hands with the other party. Then, he naturally saw Ye Xiao, "Mr. Ye Xiao!"
Ye Xiao looked calm, not even looking up at Bai Suye who was not far away. He simply stretched out his hand and shook hands with Yun Chuan, "What a coincidence."
"Mr. Yun is here to buy something?" Mr. Xiao asked.
"... Yeah." Yun Chuan turned around and glanced at Bai Suye inside, with a little more tenderness in her eyes, "Accompany her to choose gifts for my parents."
Night Owl looked a little cold.
"It's Miss Bai." Mr. Xiao went in immediately and shook hands with Bai Suye respectfully. Then, he turned to Ye Xiao and said, "Mr. Ye Xiao, this is Miss Bai. I wonder if you have seen her at Mr. Yun's birthday party last time. She is Mr. Yun's girlfriend."
Only then did Ye Xiao truly look at Bai Suye. There was no warmth in his eyes. He only said in a calm voice, "I have heard of your name for a long time."
Bai Suye pursed her lips, unable to even squeeze out the word "polite". She stretched out her hand, and Ye Xiao held it. His palm was very cold, so cold that her fingertips and heart felt cold...
There was not a moment's pause, just like a greeting between strangers, or as if her hands were stained with bacteria. Their hands touched for less than two seconds before he coldly let go of her.
"You two are here to pick gifts for our elders, but is something good going to happen? If that's the case, you must remember to inform Xiao!" President Xiao smiled cheerfully, not noticing anything wrong between her and Ye Xiao. She just thought it was the awkwardness of their first meeting.
Yun Chuan smiled slightly, without explaining, and just turned to look at Bai Suye beside her.
Bai Suye suddenly put one arm around his arm and smiled, "Mr. Xiao, you are too polite. If there is good news, Yunchuan and I will come to your house in person to give you the invitation."
After hearing these words, Yun Chuan was stunned.
Night Owl raised his eyes and really looked at her straight in the eye.
President Xiao laughed, "If that's the case, I'm really flattered. You two are a talented man and a beautiful woman, a perfect match."
"Is this the gift you picked?" At this moment, Ye Xiao spoke. Compared to Mr. Xiao's hearty laughter, his voice was cold and the whole air seemed to be frozen when he spoke.
Bai Suye felt as if a huge rock was pressing down on her heart, but she nodded, "Yeah."
Night Owl stretched out his long arm and took those clothes. Under everyone's suspicious gaze, he threw them to the waiter beside him and said, "Pack them all up and pay the bill."
"Night Owl?" Bai Suye followed him, and then lowered his voice, "What are you doing?"
Outside, Mr. Xiao and Yun Chuan looked at each other, somewhat confused.
Ye Xiao drew a black card with no restrictions and swiped it directly. The waiter handed the clothes to him with a smile on his face, and Ye Xiao took it. When Bai Suye was completely confused, he handed it to her with a blank expression, "Consider it my wedding gift to you two."
Her heart was throbbing with pain.
But he reached out and slowly... slowly... took the bag.
"Thank you." These two simple words were so difficult for her to say.
"No need. It's just a piece of cake." Ye Xiao didn't even look at her again, turned around and started walking again. He took a step and suddenly stopped, as if he suddenly remembered something, "Oh, by the way, I forgot to wish you two a happy marriage!"
