Xi Xinyi choked on her sobs, her pale and haggard little face appearing very pitiful. Han Yifeng fixed his eyes on her, yet his gaze was cold.
He vaguely recalled that Xi Xinyi was indeed telling the truth. When Xi Xiaye was 15 years old, Xi Jiyang and Elder Han had asked for him and Xi Xiaye to get engaged first, and then wait till Xi Xiaye was 20 years old before settling their marriage.
While he had always only treated Xi Xiaye as a younger sister back then, he had been conflicted about the engagement as well. After that…
If it were not for the incident when Xi Xinyi was stabbed, would he have already been engaged to Xi Xiaye and probably married by now?
It seemed as if that incident was a turning point for many things.
Han Yifeng felt something indescribable swell in his heart. After a long while, he then closed his eyes and breathed in a little disappointedly and frustratedly. He turned around casually, pulling Xi Xinyi’s hand that hugged him by the waist away, and walked towards his desk.
His tone was low as he said, “I want to be alone for a while. Go home first. I’ll try my best to handle this matter. Go home and pack your bags. I’ll ask Shanshan to accompany you to lie low abroad.”
“Yifeng, I really need you right now. I…” Xi Xinyi cried until her voice was hoarse and her eyes were red and tearful as she looked at Han Yifeng.
Han Yifeng just pressed a button on his phone to say, “Secretary Wang, come in and send Xinyi back first.” Then, Secretary Wang came in very quickly.
Xi Xinyi’s cheeks were streaming with tears. Dejected, she looked at Han Yifeng who had already turned back to look at his laptop screen. Suddenly, she did not say anything further and turned to walk outside.
…
Mu Yuchen followed the address Xi Xiaye sent, and when he arrived, she had already waited for a long time. What surprised him was that the newlyweds, Ruan Heng and Su Nan were there too. The location they had chosen was a hotpot restaurant which looked pretty tantalizing.
“Why did you take so long?”
He had just reached the table when Xi Xiaye, who had been waiting for a long time, could not help but complain. As she put his windbreaker on the stool on the side, she moved aside to vacate a spot for him, and then handed him a set of clean cutlery.
“Isn’t there a lot of traffic on the roads?”
He sat near her.
Across them, Su Nan’s eyes lit up when she saw Mu Yuchen and she immediately laughed. “Master Mu, thank you for your huge red packet yesterday. Last night, I almost couldn’t fall asleep after getting back, but what was even more delightful was Xi Xinyi being exposed…”
Mu Yuchen just nodded and said humbly, “Congratulations on your wedding.”
“Actually, it was fun for all of us. Master Mu, when are you and Xiaye going to have your wedding? I think Xiaye said yesterday that she likes a seaside wedding. Oh, imagine that moment, underneath the setting sun, on the soft beach, facing the sea with such a sense of belonging… Just imagining it is a kind of happiness… If I had known that, I’d have had a seaside wedding too… Ah! Why are you kicking me?”
Su Nan had not finished when Xi Xiaye had already kicked her from across and glared at her.
Mu Yuchen almost instantly turned to the little woman beside her. He did not miss the way she quickly retrieved her leg. When she realized that he was looking at her, her delicate little face instantly blushed too. She cleared her throat before taking a gulp of her fruit juice.
“The food’s ready. Let’s eat!” Ruan Heng said. It was only then that Su Nan picked up her chopsticks and shot Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye a sidelong look before chuckling to herself.
“Eat your food. Why are you looking at me?” She conveniently scooped a huge ladle of food and stuffed it into his bowl, glancing at him embarrassed
“You didn’t want to tell me when I asked you. The person marrying you is me,” he softly said and then calmly took the wet handkerchief to wipe his hands.
“Master Mu, do you want to have a drink or two? Ruan Heng can drink with you.”
Su Nan suddenly looked up at him, yet before she could extend a glass to him, Xi Xiaye had already spoken up from the side, “He won’t drink. He has to drive later.”
He had probably drunk a lot with Grandfather and his group of old friends. That morning, he still looked like he had a slight headache, so she just helped him reject.
“Look at the way you’re so worried! A few drinks will be fine!” Su Nan rolled her eyes at Xi Xiaye to tease her.
Ruan Heng shook his head and looked at Su Nan as he said a little helplessly, “You’d better watch out for yourself. Every time we gather, you’re always going home drunk. Master Mu, please don’t mind her…”
…
Over the course of the meal, he did not seem to eat much. Xi Xiaye noticed that the man was probably not used to eating hotpot with them. After all, someone like him was probably more used to higher-end restaurants.
She was a little annoyed at herself for not being more considerate.
However, Ruan Heng and Su Nan were grazing happily. Since the three of them always came out to gather anyway, the few of them ate and chatted happily.
When they left the hotpot restaurant, it was lively outside. Ruan Heng and Su Nan left first. Then, Xi Xiaye then took out two movie tickets and said that she wanted him to watch a movie with her.
While he was shocked that the movie she had chosen was one that had been recently released in theatres, he took note that this horror movie was one with quite a lot of rave reviews too.
Xi Xiaye obviously would not tell him that these movie tickets had been mischieviously bought by Su Nan. According to her unique dating experience, lovers who watched horror movies together once in a while could enhance a relationship because usually, this would trigger the man’s need to protect the girl, instantly satisfying their male chauvinism.
However, this trick was not suitable for Xi Xiaye at all because not even halfway through the movie, she already could not hold back her sleepiness. She leaned on Mu Yuchen’s shoulder and fell asleep…
She was awoken by Mu Yuchen only went the movie had ended. Rubbing her eyes in a daze, she got up slowly. She complained that the movie was too boring and that she would not come anymore.
At the moment, it was already quite late and there were fewer people hanging around the plaza. When they walked to the side of the plaza, they could still see that some small hawkers were working hard. The air was floating with the faint aroma of chestnuts roasted with sugar.
The two of them walked side by side without so much of a word. With his windbreaker on her shoulder, she reached out to tug at his long fingers.
A while after that, she suddenly spoke softly and even took out an envelope from her pocket before handing it to him. “Actually, I really wanted to properly reward you today after helping me take revenge. Then, I got Su Nan’s call that she wanted to have dinner together, so…”
Next, she turned away a little awkwardly and said, “For you!”
