Chapter 1789 life without him
Xi Jingchen got into the car, but he did not start the car immediately. He stared at the distance with a pair of deep eyes, unpredictable thoughts.
He had no doubt about Duan Shuxian's feelings for him at all. Now, from her standpoint, he could understand her embarrassment.
The Duan family is a family with great political power. The old man of the Duan family is at the level of veterans, and Duan Deliang also holds heavy power. This is why his mother introduced Duan Shumin to him.
On the contrary, Duan Shuxian's parents live a low-key and ordinary life. What she escapes is not their feelings, but the pressure from her family.
As a filial and kind girl, she chose to maintain the kindness of the Duan family rather than just breaking their relationship.
Xi Jingchen narrowed his eyes, smiled lightly with his thin lips, and the light in his eyes was still like a dense net, ready to trap his prey.
"I said I'll 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 on the premise, she is not allowed to marry other men, or even fall 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.
Duan Shuxian has been stabbed by rose thorns in her mother's shop for the ninth time. Several small bleeding wounds on her palms made her so painful that she dared not speak.
Because she deserves it! At this time, she is still distracted from her mind. Who should I blame?
"Shuxian, come and send a bouquet of flowers for my mother. This is the address. I will arrive after walking."
Li Yu handed a bunch of beautiful flowers to her hands.
Duan Shuxian was also in need of a walk, but she reached out to take it. She knew the address.
Duan Shuxian finished delivering the flowers, but she did not return to the store immediately. In the afternoon, there were not many customers in the store, so she walked into a garden next to her to relax.
Summer began before she knew it. She still remembered that when she first met Xi Jingchen, it was early spring. The slightly cool air made her close her eyes and recall the wonderful early spring atmosphere.
Unlike at this moment, the strong summer sunshine was extremely dazzling. She chose a cool place and took out her earplugs from her bag to listen 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, and it turned out that she had left a small thing, giving her time to go and pick it up.
Duan Shuxian gave it to her, and she would not go back to school.
"Xiao Duan! This is really strange! Have you agreed to leave school with Teacher Xi?"
"What?"
Duan Shuxian asked in surprise, "Has he left school too?"
"Don't you know?
Aren’t you in love? He doesn’t know that you have resigned, and you don’t know that he has left school?
What are you two quarrels about?"
"When did he leave school?"
Duan Shuxian's heart suffocated, why did he leave?
"It seems that yesterday afternoon was his last class! I heard some female classmates chatting, you really don't know!"
Duan Shuxian smiled bitterly, "I really don't know."
"Hey! He probably has no interest in staying there because you left!"
Aunt Huang was guessing on the other end.
Duan Shuxian's eyes were stained with sadness, right?
If he is no longer in school, then she will probably never see him in her life! Maybe she will see him on TV in the future.
Thinking about it, Duan Shuxian felt more and more bitterness surged into her chest.
A week passed in a blink of an eye, and Monday's family dinner arrived.
Duan Shuxian has been living like a soulless person this week. She worked hard in her mother's shop during the day, but at night, her whole heart was empty. She bit her arm and hid in the quilt several times and cried like a child.
But in front of her parents, she talked and laughed as before, making people unable to see her sadness.
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Li Yu looked at the dirty thing on her clothes, and she couldn't help but urged her, "Shu Xian, go back and change her clothes! Go to my uncle's house for dinner tonight and dress more decently."
Duan Shuxian lowered her head and looked at the collar. She nodded, "Okay!"
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, with long hair tied with a half-bunny head, revealing an extremely delicate face.
She raised her little face slightly and stood in front of the flower shop waiting for the car. The artistic wall behind her made her look a bit pure and elf-like.
Bai Xia reached out to stop the taxi several times, but she failed. She had to sigh helplessly.
In the parking space opposite the road she was waiting for, a black car had been parked for unknown lengths. In the dark and tight window, a pair of deep eyes stared quietly at the girl taking a taxi opposite.
Seeing her pursing her red lips depressedly, her pretty face slightly flushed, the man was almost about to get out of the car and see her off.
But he still suppressed this impulse. Even though he didn't want to disturb her, he would do it, at least not before her at this moment.
"Young Master, do you need to go over and send Miss Duan a trip?"
The bodyguard in the driver's seat asked.
“No need.”
Xi Jingchen responded in a low voice.
Duan Shuxian bit her red lips. It was a helpless thing to not be able to get a taxi, but she was also optimistic. Even if she couldn't wait for a taxi, just be stunned for a while! Duan Shuxian's eyes flashed, 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 her.
Xi Jingchen's thin lips were pursed, and a smile passed by from time to time. Looking at the girl who was dazed and cute, it was as if she was admiring a lively picture.
At Duan Shuxian's feet, a puppy was rushing around and running into the street where cars were coming and going. She was startled and quickly squatted down and picked up the puppy.
The little puppy was immediately hugged, and a mistress next to her also rushed over, "Xiao Ba, why are you running around?"
Duan Shuxian took the opportunity to touch the puppy's head, pinched the puppy's little mouth, and returned it to the hostess.
? "Thank you, Miss. I just bought it, and I always run 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 very cute.
The man opposite looked at her looking like she loved small animals, and his eyes were filled with smiles. He began to think that he would allow her to raise a dog in the future.
At this moment, a taxi stopped in front of Duan Shuxian and someone got out of the car. Duan Shuxian quickly stepped forward and stopped the taxi home.
When the taxi left, the black car opposite also followed the taxi.
Duan Shuxian returned home, and the black car disappeared into the group of cars.
Duan Shuxian walked into the room and opened the wardrobe. She looked at her mother's latest dress for her. She chose the simplest match, a white T-shirt with jeans.
Duan Shumin didn't look for her anymore, but she knew that this sisterly relationship had become indifferent, and she even had a premonition that she would never recover in her life. Duan Shumin was extremely strange to her that day.
At half past five, Duan Deming's car was waiting for her downstairs, and Li Yu prepared two bouquets of fresh flowers to deliver to Duan's house.
Duan’s house was bathed in the evening glow, and it was spectacular. Duan Deming’s car drove in. Duan Shuxian carried a small bag and lowered her eyes, following her parents towards the direction of the hall.
At this time, when he saw Mr. Duan practicing Tai Chi in the small garden next to him, Duan Shuxian walked towards his grandfather and stood by and greeted him.
"grandfather."
"Shu Xian, here we come."
Mr. Duan withdrew his fists, touched his sweat, his face flushed, and looked very healthy.
Mr. Duan couldn't help but be surprised in a daze. Unexpectedly, his little granddaughter was already Tingting and handsome.
Duan Deming also came to chat with Teacher Duan, while Li Yu went to chat with Song Meilan. Duan Shuxian, a junior, took a walk in the garden. Although she had been visiting the Duan family since she was a child, even if there was no real separation, she couldn't find a home here.
As he walked, Duan Shuxian turned a corner and heard a voice calling her from behind.
"Shu Xian, come here.
Duan Shuxian's heart suddenly raised, and she turned around and saw Duan Shumin who would come back at some time. She looked at her with complicated eyes.
"Sister Min."
Duan Shuxian turned around and said hello.
""I have something to tell you."
Duan Shumin opened her mouth, and there was a scrutiny in her eyes.
