Ye Xi looked at her for a moment, then finally withdrew her hand, then turned around and walked out of the store.
Mu Qian put down the clothes in her hands, smiled at the clerk, turned around and chased Ye Xi.
In the most prosperous business district of the city, Ye Xi walked aimlessly until Mu Qian reached out and pulled her into a restaurant.
It was not meal time at this time, and there were not many customers in the restaurant. Mu Qian chose a seat by the window. The surrounding area was empty, so she pulled Ye Xi and sat down.
After casually ordering two drinks, Mu Qian looked at her again, "So, aren't you going to talk to me?"
Ye Xi lowered her head and was silent for a long time before slowly speaking: "I don't know how to tell you..."
"When did it start?" Mu Qian asked.
Ye Xi exhaled slowly and finally spoke with determination: "After my parents passed away...he told me that he was not my biological brother..."
Hearing this, Mu Qian suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and looked at her calmly, waiting for her to continue.
Although there were many things that Ye Xi never thought about telling others, once she did, it didn't seem that difficult.
When Ye Jinfan told her that he was not her biological brother, she was stunned. Her first thought at that time was - her parents had just left, and her brother was about to abandon her.
Of course she refused to accept this fact and refused to believe it no matter what, until Ye Jinfan placed an appraisal report in front of her.
"My parents adopted me after they had been married for more than ten years without having any children." Ye Jinfan said to her, "I came to this home when I was seven years old. Who knew you would be born the next year."
Ye Xi looked at the report and finally had to accept the fact, but she still couldn't believe it, "But our parents have always treated us the same -"
"Yes, in the eyes of my parents, I am their biological son." Ye Jinfan touched her head, "I am very grateful to my parents, so I will take good care of you in the future, provided that you still recognize me.
elder brother."
"Of course I do!" Ye Xi hugged him and raised her head to look at him, "You are my brother, forever!"
Ye Jinfan looked at her and smiled, his eyes sparkling like stars.
But some things, once known, are really difficult to maintain as they are compared to when they are unknown.
Later, when Ye Xi got close to him again, she always unconsciously remembered that the two were no longer related by blood. As she got older, she also knew that there should be taboos between men and women, so she became more and more unnatural when facing Ye Jinfan.
But no one thought that this unnaturalness would gradually transform into another emotion...
"Were you tempted first?" Mu Qian asked.
Ye Xi nodded slowly.
Mu Qian asked again: "Then when did he respond to you?"
"He..." Ye Xi hesitated, bit her lip gently, and spoke again after a while, "I always feel that he doesn't really like me..."
Mu Qian couldn't help but frown, "Why do you say that?"
"I noticed my feelings first, so I started avoiding him." Ye Xi said, "It was after I started avoiding him that he gradually came closer to me... Qianqian, I always felt that he was unwilling to let down his father.
His mother's kindness to him is why he reluctantly accepts me, but in fact, his heart may not be with me at all..."
"In other words, up to now, you are still unsure about this relationship?" Mu Qian asked.
Ye Xi nodded.
"Then let's end it." Mu Qian said, "Tell him to break up and cut off the relationship."
Ye Xi raised his eyes and looked at her in surprise.
Mu Qian just smiled slightly.
In the evening, Mu Qian and Ye Xi separated. On their way home, they unexpectedly saw a familiar figure again.
Zhuang Yan was walking on the street holding a man's arm, smiling sweetly and brightly.
Mu Qian looked away and couldn't help but laugh.
Although the cold winter is approaching, it does not prevent the peach blossoms from blooming in this city, which is quite nice.
For her, being able to see the friends around her happy is a kind of happiness.
As for the rest, forget it.
…
When Mu Qian returned to her old house, she unexpectedly found that Huo Jinxi had returned home from get off work and was sitting on the sofa in the living room.
Thinking about Zhuang Yan whom I just saw on the road, it is true that Huo Jinxi, the boss, doesn't get off work, and she, the secretary, doesn't get off work so early.
But recently, Huo Jinxi gets off work so early every day. Compared with before, is he a little too busy?
Seeing Mu Qian walk in, Huo Jinxi, who was sitting on the sofa, opened his arms. Mu Qian saw this, walked over with a smile, sat down against him, and then said, "What are we talking about?"
Mr. Huo replied: "Jin Xi said that he has found Rong Heng as the best man. What about you? Have you found the bridesmaid?"
Mu Qian smiled slightly, "It's okay for me, or just find Xiaoxiao!"
Mr. Huo frowned when he heard this, "Xiaoxiao's temper is inappropriate and inappropriate..."
Huo Jinxi lowered his eyes and looked at Mu Qian's side face, and said slowly: "Ye Xi, isn't she your best friend?"
Hearing this, Mu Qian couldn't help but glance at Huo Jinxi warily, and then said: "She has been in a bad mood recently and is not suitable."
"If you are in a bad mood, you should participate in such a festive event and be happy." Mr. Huo said, "Since I am your best friend, of course I have to be your bridesmaid. This is the only time in my life!"
Mu Qian just smiled: "Okay, grandpa has the final say."
At night, after Mr. Huo went to bed, Mu Qian returned to the room.
Huo Jinxi just walked out of the bathroom after taking a shower. When Mu Qian saw him, she said bluntly: "Mr. Huo, maybe it's because you are not very good at acting, so let me remind you that our scene doesn't need to be like this.
Really. Our wedding is just a temporary arrangement, so I don’t want to involve my good friends.”
"You're right, I really can't act." Huo Jinxi threw away the towel he was wiping himself with and turned to look at her, "So I don't plan to act with you."
Mu Qian listened and laughed softly.
Huo Jinxi would say this, which didn't surprise her at all.
In fact, after she tricked him in New York, he tried every means to force her to show up. When she was kidnapped, he risked his life to save her. His reaction after learning about Xiaoxiao's existence was that he moved back to his old house to live in the same room with her...
...Huo Jinxi's thoughts are really obvious.
She knew it clearly, but she didn't care.
She just hopes that in this relationship, other unrelated people, such as Ye Xi, will not be involved.
But the current situation seems to be unavoidable.
"Okay." Mu Qian smiled, "It doesn't matter, as long as grandpa is happy."
Huo Jinxi stretched out his hand, gently pinched her face, and said slowly: "Okay, then try to do as many things as possible to make grandpa happy."
After she finished speaking, Huo Jinxi lowered his head and sealed her lips.
