Chapter 1699 - Engage with each other!
The next morning, Duan Shu Xian had just woken up when her phone's message rang.While she was washing her face and brushing her teeth, she didn't pay much attention to it. She thought it was just an unimportant text that she had sent in the morning.
Surprisingly, there was a notification lying there.
Sent, friend.
Duan Shu Xian's breath caught in her throat as she hurriedly opened it. A grumbling message came in, "Why didn't you call me last night?"
Duan Shu Xian's head buzzed. How late did he sleep last night!She could only reply, "I slept until dawn last night. I'm sorry."
"It's fine. Call me when you're free today!" Xi Jingchen instantly replied back.
This speed really didn't match with his identity. He scared Duan Shu Xian. Was he still on his phone? Why did he return so quickly?
She looked at the message and quickly replied, "Okay!" I'll be busy today. "
"I'll wait for your call." What he said next was filled with his domineering attitude.
When Duan Shu Xian saw the message, she was stunned for a few seconds. Then, she replied, "Okay!"Duan Shu Xian came to the museum to work. Due to the opening ceremony today, there were a lot of tourists. She was busy until after 6 PM when she went home for another staff meeting.
She had originally wanted to call him at noon, but there were so many visitors today that she was nervous about eating. How could she have the chance to call him?By the time she came out of the museum, it was half past seven.
Her parents cooked her food and waited for her to come home to eat.
Duan Shu Xian drove home. Although the day's work was tiring, it was very fulfilling. She was waiting for the traffic light when her car phone suddenly rang. The entire silent carriage was her ringtone.
When she saw the caller ID on the screen, she was shocked. It was a 'friend'.
As for her, she only had her friend written on her phone. Other than Xi Jingchen, there was no one else.It was him.
Duan Shu Xian pressed the answer button.
A deep and enchanting voice sounded from the quiet carriage. "Hello!""Hey!" Duan Shu Xian hurriedly replied.
"I was originally waiting for you to call me, but it seems that I have to take the initiative." Xi Jingchen's magnetic voice was as pleasant to the ears as the melody of a zither in the carriage with glass windows tightly shut.Duan Shu Xian's heart was thumping hard for him. She said embarrassedly, "I'm really sorry, I was really too busy today. I wanted to call you when I got home."
Duan Shu Xian was really busy and didn't lie."Is that so?" Xi Jingchen expressed his doubts, but at that moment, he heard the sound of lights turning coming from her microphone, he immediately asked, "Are you driving?"
"Yes, I'm driving home." Duan Shu Xian replied.
"Alright, drive seriously. Slow down. Give me a call when you get home." Xi Jingchen didn't want to affect her driving.
Duan Shu Xian replied, "Ok!"
Xi Jingchen hung up the phone first, causing Duan Shu Xian to let out a light breath. Just two days ago, how could she dare to interact with him again?
However, something that she didn't dare to think about happened just yesterday. He appeared beside her once again, and this time, it was extremely domineering.Duan Shu Xian drove home. Her parents had gone for a walk, so she had to eat first. After dinner, she cleaned up the table and went back to her room. Looking at the time, it was already 9 o'clock.
She took a deep breath and called Xi Jingchen.
"Are you home?" The other end answered quickly, and he asked with concern.
"Hm!" "I didn't disturb you not long after I got home, did I?" Duan Shu Xian was really afraid that he would be busy.
"No!" Has Curator of Gold blamed you for what happened yesterday? " Xi Jingchen asked curiously."Thank you for your help, he didn't scold me."
"Does it have anything to do with me?" Xi Jingchen laughed lowly, as if he did not know what was going on.Duan Shu Xian knew that he wouldn't admit it, but it was precisely because of his identity that she avoided a scolding.
"I still need to thank you." Duan Shu Xian's heart was moved.
"Alright, since you want to thank me, then treat me to a meal! Tomorrow. " Xi Jingchen immediately asked.
Duan Shu Xian was startled, treating him to a meal? How could his identity appear in a normal restaurant?
"No, I can't." Duan Shu Xian refused, thinking for his safety.
"Why? Weren't you invited before? " Xi Jingchen asked.
"At that time, I did not know your identity! Now I know, how dare I take you to a general restaurant for dinner? You can't run around either, you have to get someone to protect you. " Duan Shu Xian couldn't help but exclaim.
Xi Jingchen's mood was very good, but at the same time, he said without giving up, "Then let's go to the restaurant I invited you to last time. It's very safe there."
"I'm afraid I can't afford a place like that!" Duan Shu Xian smiled awkwardly."I'll treat you. You just need to come over. How about noon tomorrow? Or at night? "
"I have something to do tomorrow afternoon!" Duan Shu Xian hurriedly replied.
"Aren't you resting tomorrow?" Xi Jingchen asked.
Duan Shu Xian was immediately startled and asked, "How did you know I was resting?"
"I asked around!" Xi Jingchen laughed.
Duan Shu Xian was stunned for a few seconds. Recalling his identity, whatever he wanted to know, he would know very soon.
However, he actually used his precious time to ask about her. Was he really that bored?
"I'm having lunch with my mother tomorrow afternoon, so I might not have time." Duan Shu Xian said.
A man at the other end of the table immediately asked in a sensitive manner, "Another blind date?"
Duan Shu Xian was shocked. "How did you know?"Could he even ask about that?
"I guessed." Xi Jingchen's voice became deeper.
Duan Shu Xian was a little embarrassed as she said, "It was my mother's friend who introduced me. I have to go over to have a meal. I have to give my mother some face."
"No matter how well you eat this meal? You can't even like each other. " Xi Jingchen gave an overbearing command.Duan Shu Xian held his phone in his hand and remained silent for a while.
"If you don't know how to refuse, I'll be at your door tomorrow night." A deep male voice threatened him.Duan Shu Xian was so scared that she gasped for breath, "Don't, don't do that! I was just dealing with my mother. "
"Really?" Hearing her tone, Xi Jingchen did not seem to want to reject her.
"Of course, I never thought of falling in love!" Duan Shu Xian replied seriously, and started to pour out the information about Xi Jingchen as though he was a friend.
"Why?" Xi Jingchen asked.
"I'm busy with my work, and I'm not that old." Duan Shu Xian explained the reason."What if I talk to you like me?" Xi Jingchen asked hoarsely.
Duan Shu Xian's hand tightened around her phone as she subconsciously bit her lips as well. She hadn't really considered this question."Do you agree or do you not want to answer?" Xi Jingchen would not give her the chance to escape.
"Young Master Xi, you don't lack girls by your side, do you? There are many who are better than me. " Duan Shu Xian smiled.
"It's not lacking, but you're the only one who could move me." Xi Jingchen answered.
"And after that? "What if you meet something even more exciting in the future?" Duan Shu Xian asked again.
"There won't be any more, because you alone are enough!" Xi Jingchen confessed.
A hint of warmth appeared in Duan Shu Xian's heart. She felt honored to be able to hear such words."Thank you for liking me so much. I'm very happy." Duan Shu Xian was really grateful.
"Then let's interact!" Xi Jingchen's voice was enthralled through the microphone.Duan Shu Xian felt a lump in her throat. She couldn't speak nor could she answer. She thought for a moment before replying, "Can you give me …"
"There is no need to think about it, because you are destined to become my woman. I will not let you reject me." A domineering male voice interrupted her words.
"I'll treat you to dinner tomorrow night! I will bring enough money! " Duan Shu Xian replied."You agree?"
"I'm not in love. I don't know how to talk about it." Right, she agreed to go out with him. Since she couldn't escape, why should she flee now?
How could she bear to refuse a man who liked her so much? So what if he was the future lord? As long as he liked her, it was her fortune.
A deep, joyous laugh came from the other end, "I've never talked about it before. Let's learn to be in a relationship together!"
Duan Shu Xian couldn't help laughing at his words. She giggled as well. "Fine, how do we discuss if we're going to pay!""Shu Xian, you can honestly tell your parents about us, I hope they know about this." Xi Jingchen made her be bolder.
Duan Shu Xian took a deep breath. "Alright! I'll talk to them. "
"See you at dinner tomorrow. My car will pick you up."
"Good!" "Good night." "Yes," Duan Shu Xian replied softly. "Good night."
