"Yes, I will miss you." Alex held her hand reluctantly, with tears in his eyes, "I will go to China to see you if I have the chance."
Lan Xi'er originally thought he was just talking, but later... she really met him again in China.
At that time, she had just returned to China and founded her own design studio. The early stage of starting a business is always difficult. She returns home exhausted every day, closes her eyes and falls asleep.
But when she was so busy, her parents kept on holding on to her personal problems. He called and harassed her every three days, asking if she had a date. The conversation changed and he talked about which young man from someone's family is good, do you want to find a chance to meet him.
Because of this, Lan Xi'er really had a headache. She has no shortage of suitors at all, she just simply doesn't want to marry.
Occasionally, she can also see news about Tang Yu from newspapers and media. He seems to be doing well and has a daughter...
And she no longer believes in love, nor does she want to be bound by marriage. What's more, she is no longer a healthy woman—how can a barren woman be accepted by a traditional Chinese family
After being perfunctory again and again, she thought that her parents would give up, but she didn't expect that the blind date they arranged would be more intensive. And only focus on quantity, not quality.
She really didn't know why these two old people were in such a hurry. Although I am in my twenties, I haven't reached my thirties yet.
But the two old people nagged in her ears every day that Su Rourou had given birth to two children, and even Li Tianwei had two children... In short, they listed all the friends around her.
Lan Xi'er suddenly complained about this group of friends who married early, obviously they were too anxious and progressed too fast, it wasn't her progress that was too slow at all!
Just when she was annoyed by the forced marriage, she met Alex whom she hadn't seen for many years.
That day, when she saw him downstairs in the company, she couldn't believe her eyes. Alex is still as handsome as before, and time seems to have left no mark on him.
He was wearing a very simple cotton T-shirt and some washed white jeans, just standing there simply attracted the attention of countless passers-by.
"Alex? Why did you come to China?" Lan Xi'er was surprised and delighted, she stepped forward and grabbed his arm to look him up and down.
Alex looked a little tired, and the smile on his face was no longer as bright as before. There was unconcealable sadness and heaviness in the amber eyes: "I am... to help my sister and brother-in-law take care of the funeral."
"What? What's wrong with your sister and brother-in-law?" Lan Xi'er was startled and covered her mouth, her heart that was excited about the reunion suddenly sank.
"The plane they were on crashed, leaving only a child who was less than three years old..." Alex only spoke halfway, and he was reluctant to continue. This incident hit his parents hard, and they seemed to have aged decades overnight.
"Don't be too sad, I think they have spirits in heaven, and they don't want to see you like this." Lan Xi'er really wanted to say something to comfort him, but she didn't know what to say.
Alex pursed his lips and squeezed out a pale smile towards her: "Don't worry, I'm fine, everything is over..."
The two were talking, and saw a little girl who looked like a doll opened the door and jumped out of the car, looking at them timidly: "Uncle Alex..."
"Feifei, come quickly and call Auntie." Alex stepped forward to grab the little girl's hand, and brought her to Lan Xi'er.
