Chapter 1789 Life without him
Xi Jingchen got into the car, but he didn't start the car immediately, staring at the distance with a pair of deep eyes, unpredictable.
He didn't doubt Duan Shuxian's feelings for him at all. Now, from her standpoint, he could understand her embarrassment.
The Duan family is a very politically powerful family, the old man of the Duan family is a veteran, and Duan Deliang also holds a lot of power, which is why his mother introduced Duan Shumin to him.
On the contrary, Duan Shuxian's parents lived a low-key and ordinary life. What she escaped was not their feelings, but the pressure from her family.
As a filial and kind girl, she chose to maintain the harmony of the big family of the Duan family instead of blindly froze their relationship.
Xi Jingchen squinted his eyes, and smiled lightly on his thin lips. The light in his eyes was still like a densely woven net, ready to snare his prey.
"I said I would wait for you." Xi Jingchen said to himself in a low voice.
If what she needs is time, he will not force her, he can wait, but the premise is that she is not allowed to marry other men, not even in love.
Just give each other some time! Xi Jingchen will not disturb her in a short time, but he will pay attention to everything about her.
It was the nth time that Duan Shuxian was pricked by a rose thorn in her mother's shop. There were several small bleeding wounds on her palm, which made her so painful that she dared not speak out.
Because she deserves it! At such a time, her mind is still seriously wandering, who is to blame
"Shuxian, come, send a bouquet of flowers for mother. This is the address. You will be there within a short walk." Li Yu handed her a bunch of beautifully wrapped flowers.
Duan Shuxian also needed to go for a walk, she reached out to take it, she knew the address.
After Duan Shuxian delivered the flowers, she didn't go back to the store immediately. In the afternoon, there were not many customers in the store, so she walked into a nearby garden to relax.
It's summer before she knows it. She still remembers when she first met Xi Jingchen, it was early spring, and the slightly cool air made her even close her eyes, recalling the wonderful breath of early spring.
Unlike at this moment, the strong summer sun was extremely dazzling. She chose a shady place, took out earplugs from her small bag and listened to music. The artificial lake in the distance reflected the sky like a mirror, and everything was extremely quiet.
In the evening, she received a call from Aunt Huang. It turned out that she had left a small item, so she had time to pick it up.
Duan Shuxian gave it to her, and she will not go back to school again.
"Xiao Duan! This is really strange! Did you agree with Mr. Xi to leave school together?"
"What?" Duan Shuxian asked in surprise, "He also left school?"
"Don't you know? Aren't you guys in a relationship? He doesn't know that you've resigned, and you don't know that he left school? What the hell is going on between you two?"
"When did he leave school?" Duan Shuxian's heart choked, why did he leave
"It seems that yesterday afternoon was his last class! I heard some female students chatting, you really don't know!"
Duan Shuxian smiled wryly, "I really don't know."
"Hey! He probably left because of you, so it's boring for him to stay!" Aunt Huang guessed at the other end.
Duan Shuxian's eyes were stained with sadness, isn't it? If he is not in school, then she will probably never see him in this life! Maybe she will see him on TV in the future.
Thinking about it, Duan Shuxian felt more and more bitterness welling up in her chest.
A week has passed in a blink of an eye, and the family dinner on Monday is coming.
This week, Duan Shuxian seemed to be living like a soulless person. During the day, she worked desperately in her mother's shop, but at night, her heart was empty. She bit her arm and hid under the quilt several times. Li cried like a child.
But in front of her parents, she talked and laughed as before, making it hard for people to see her sadness.
After four o'clock in the afternoon, Li Yu saw the dirt on her skirt, and she couldn't help urging her, "Shu Xian, go back and change your clothes! Go to uncle's for dinner tonight, and dress decently."
Duan Shuxian lowered her head to look at the skirt, she nodded, "OK!"
Duan Shuxian took off her apron, and she came out of her mother's shop with a small bag on her back. She was wearing a fresh white dress, her long hair was tied up in a bun, and she showed an extremely delicate face.
With her little face raised slightly, she stood in front of the flower shop and waited for the bus. The artistic wall behind her gave her a pure spirit like an elf.
Bai Xia reached out to stop the taxi several times, but was unsuccessful, so she could only sigh helplessly.
In the parking space on the opposite side of the waiting road where she was, a black car had been parked for an unknown amount of time. Through the dark and tight windows, a pair of deep eyes stared quietly at the girl who was taking a taxi opposite.
Seeing her pursing her red lips depressedly, her pretty face blushing slightly, the man almost wanted to get out of the car and come over to see her off.
But he still suppressed this impulse, since he didn't want to disturb her, he had to do it, at least not appearing in front of her right now.
"Master, do you need to give Miss Duan a ride?" the bodyguard in the driver's seat asked.
"No need." Xi Jingchen responded in a low voice.
Duan Shuxian bit her red lip, it was a very helpless thing if she couldn't get a taxi, but she was also optimistic, if she couldn't wait for a taxi, then stay for a while!
Duan Shuxian's eyes flickered, as if she was immersed in her own thoughts, but she didn't know that all her delicate expressions were seen by the man opposite. Xi Jingchen's thin lips were pursed lightly, and a smile flashed across him from time to time. Looking at the cute girl who was in a daze, it was like admiring a vivid picture scroll.
At Duan Shuxian's feet, a puppy was bumping into the street where cars were passing by. She was startled, and quickly squatted down to pick up the puppy.
The little milk dog was immediately hugged in a daze, and its mistress hurriedly chased after it, "Little Ba, why are you running around like this!"
Duan Shuxian took the opportunity to touch the puppy's head, pinched the puppy's mouth, and returned it to the hostess. "Thank you miss, I just bought it and it keeps running around." The hostess is very grateful that she saved her pet just now.
"So cute." Duan Shuxian smiled, and touched the puppy's head again, the little guy was full of cuteness.
The man on the opposite side saw her love for small animals, and his eyes were filled with smiles. He began to think about allowing her to raise a dog in the future.
At this moment, a taxi stopped in front of Duan Shuxian, and someone got off, Duan Shuxian hurriedly stepped forward to stop the taxi to go home.
When the taxi left, the black car on the opposite side also left with the taxi.
When Duan Shuxian returned home, the black car disappeared into the crowd.
Duan Shuxian walked into the room and opened the closet. She looked at the latest dress her mother bought for her. She still chose the simplest match, a white T-shirt and jeans.
Duan Shumin didn't look for her anymore, but she knew that this sisterhood had faded away, and she even had a premonition that it would never recover in this life. Duan Shumin on that day was extremely strange to her.
At half past five, Duan Deming's car was waiting for her downstairs, and Li Yu prepared two fresh flowers and sent them to Duan's house.
The Duan house, bathed in the evening sunlight, was magnificent. Duan Deming's car drove in, and Duan Shuxian followed her parents to the hall with her small bag on her back.
At this time, seeing old man Duan practicing Tai Chi in the small garden next to him, Duan Shuxian walked towards his grandfather and stood beside him to say hello.
"grandfather."
"Shu Xian, here we come." Old Man Duan withdrew his fists, touched his sweat, his face was flushed, and he looked very healthy.
Grandpa Duan couldn't help being surprised in a trance. He didn't expect his little granddaughter to be Tingting Yuli's big girl.
Duan Deming also came to chat with Teacher Duan, while Li Yu went to chat with Song Meilan about the family, and Duan Shuxian, a junior, took a walk in the garden. It just doesn't feel like home.
While walking, Duan Shuxian turned a corner, and heard a voice calling her from behind.
"Shu Xian, come here.
Duan Shuxian's heart skipped a beat, she turned around and saw Duan Shumin who came back at some point, she looked at her with complicated eyes.
"Sister Min." Duan Shuxian turned around and greeted her. "
"I have something to tell you." Duan Shumin said to her, with a kind of scrutiny in her eyes.
