Ling Xiaoye leaned on Shi Lei's arms and walked out of the KTV. The cold night wind blew, and she looked up at the man beside her.
"Why are you here?" Ling Xiaoye turned sideways and came face to face with him.
His handsome face was still rigid, and she could tell that he was very unhappy.
Why is he unhappy? Is it because she drinks too much? However, these are inevitable.
"If I don't come, how are you going to go back at night?" Shi Lei came to see her, but he was actually worried about her. It was true.
"Aren't you here now?" Ling Xiaoye smiled and swayed unsteadily a few times.
Shi Lei held her waist tightly to prevent her from falling.
"Shi Lei, do you have me here?" She poked his solid chest with her slender fingers.
Does he have her in his heart? Yes?
"You drank too much. I'll take you back." Shi Lei shook his head helplessly. He looked at this woman. She drank too much and she didn't know what she was talking about?
"Answer me!" Ling Xiaoye actually asked him this question while she was still drunk. There were some words that she really couldn't say out loud when she was sober.
"Of course." Shi Lei coaxed her, and whatever she said was fine.
Doesn't he understand how he feels about her?
"Then why don't you marry me? Is it difficult to marry me?" Ling Xiaoye looked at him. She and him had obviously had a tacit understanding for so long, but they always felt that something was missing.
Shi Lei froze when he heard what she said, "Do you want to marry me?" he asked calmly.
Maybe there was only one marriage missing between him and her?
Ling Xiaoye nodded vigorously, "Is that okay?"
Shi Lei actually wanted to know whether Ling Xiaoye was drunk or sober now.
In fact, she was sober, and she only spoke to him because she was a little drunk.
His silence made her think that he was unwilling to accept her.
But no matter what, it's good that she knows the answer.
None of them spoke a word along the way. Ling Xiaoye returned to the Ling family villa and Shi Lei left.
Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, she looked out the window. His silver car disappeared into the night until it was invisible.
Ling Xiaoye touched her chest. Why did it hurt so much? Did she love her right or wrong?
Shi Lei was sitting at his desk, with a brochure for the latest sea-view villa developed by Yan Group in front of him. If he wanted to get married, the apartment he was living in now would be a bit small.
As soon as Pang Jie walked into the office, he saw Shi Lei looking at the brochure in a daze, "Brother, do you want to buy a house?"
Shi Lei didn't answer him. If Pang Jie knew about it, he would say more.
Pang Jie sat opposite him, "Do you know anyone who wants to buy a house?"
"No." Shi Lei shook his head and denied.
"Then you look at the houses, which one do you like? The boss said that as long as you like it, I can give you a discount." Pang Jie drank coffee and looked at him with a leisurely expression.
"Are you planning to sell a villa, how much commission will you get?" Shi Lei gave him a big eye roll.
Pang Jie chuckled, "I wouldn't dare."
Shi Lei put away the brochure and said nothing more. In fact, no matter what he said, he just listened to it.
"I think you have always liked living in the city for the convenience of work. How are you and Miss Ling doing? Are you planning to get married?" Pang Jie said casually.
However, when Shi Lei heard what he said, he coughed out the whole sip of coffee he just drank.
"It seems I guessed it right. Are you really planning to get married? You're really good at planning to get married quietly." When Pang Jie saw Shi Lei's look, he knew he was right.
Shi Lei has always been slow in matters of love, but this time, he was very quick. He got married right away and was ready to buy a house.
With Shi Lei's assets, it would be no problem to buy dozens of houses. If Shi Lei really got married, it would really impress him.
Ling Xiaoye didn't meet Shi Lei again since that day. She made an excuse and went back to the villa every day.
Fan Yixu sat on the bench in the garden with her, "Yeye, tell me, what's going on recently? I'm worried!"
"It's nothing!" Ling Xiaoye began to regret after knowing that she had asked Shi Lei that day.
But, what should she do now? Should she give up?
"Is it really okay?" Fan Yixu didn't believe it at all. Ling Xiaoye, who had always been lively and laughing, now looked sad every day, and he didn't look like someone who was okay.
Ling Xiaoye pursed her lips and looked to the other side. He couldn't help her with her matter.
"Talk to me! Even if you treat me like a big brother, it doesn't matter if you tell me what's on your mind. Don't you want your uncle and aunt to worry?" Fan Yixu knows Ling Xiaoye too well. If something happens, she won't take the initiative to tell him.
What they said.
He would only bear it by himself. He wanted to help her. It was as simple as that. "Yeye, if you don't tell me, I will tell my uncle and aunt."
"You are forcing me." Ling Xiaoye had been depressed for many days, and she really needed to speak out to feel better.
"Is it because of Shi Lei?" Fan Yixu could guess that apart from emotional matters, she should have nothing else to worry about.
Ling Xiaoye nodded, "I don't know what my relationship is with him, and I don't know who I am to him, but I really love him."
She would never hide her feelings for Shi Lei.
"Then you tell him that after you have been together for so long, you should get married." Fan Yixu said this sincerely. He wanted to see happiness every night.
"He didn't say he wanted to marry me, and I asked him, but he remained silent. I think, maybe, he is not ready to marry me yet?" Ling Xiaoye said helplessly and sighed.
Fan Yixu hugged her into his arms, "Yeye, then you will marry me!"
His words made Ling Xiaoye's eyes widen in surprise, "Yi Xu, stop joking with me, you clearly know that I..."
He just knew her too well, so she felt that it was impossible for her and Fan Yixu.
"I'm serious. Don't you want to marry Shi Lei? If he really cares about you and he knows that you are going to be engaged to me, he should have expressed it." Fan Yixu looked at her, if she really wanted to marry Shi Lei
Being together may, sometimes, require a little sacrifice.
Fan Yixu can be used by her unconditionally, just because he also loves her, and he also wants to see her happy, or, deep down, he hopes more to make the lie come true.
He knew it was impossible, but he still hoped so deep in his heart.
Ling Xiaoye looked at Fan Yixu and said, "Yixu, this is not possible."
It's not possible to use him, and Shi Lei, a cold-tempered person, will never show any expression. If he really could, the relationship between the two of them would not develop into what it is now.
