At six o'clock in the afternoon, He Lichen set off from home on time to pick up Xu Xiyun for dinner.
Arriving at the Xu family, He Lichen met Xu Xiyun's parents and greeted the two elders politely. The Xu family had always had a high impression of the He family, and they also admired the descendants of the He family, so their impression of He Lichen was not bad at all.
, on the contrary, I saw his politeness and had a very good impression of him.
After He Lichen picked up Xu Xiyun, the two went to the restaurant together.
During this dinner, the two had a friendly dinner, and at the same time they got to know each other better. He Lichen learned about her family and friends from Xu Xiyun, and Xu Xiyun also learned about his.
"Lichen, so you have... one older sister and two younger sisters?" Xu Xiyun asked, this is what she thought after listening to He Lichen's story about Jian Yi.
"That's right," He Lichen replied, "but Yiyi is different."
The status of the little girl in my heart is completely different from that of my sister and Xiao Xi.
Xu Xiyun nodded and continued, "Well, if a person who is not related by blood can make you treat her so well, her position in your heart must be different."
Xu Xiyun understood these, but Xu Xiyun still cared a little bit and asked, "Li Chen, if... you get married in the future, will you still... be nice to her?"
"Yes," He Lichen answered almost without any hesitation. His kindness to the little girl will not change and will never change. "However, after getting married, my kindness to Yiyi will not cross the line."
After all, after getting married, he is now a married man, and he still understands certain moral bottom lines.
Hearing what He Lichen said later, Xu Xiyun felt happy, smiled and nodded, feeling even more favorable towards He Lichen.
I like this man for his outward charm and aura, and I also like him for his high IQ and high EQ. I have not been involved in his life before, so the people around him have no reason to be jealous of He Lichen.
Be good to them, but from now on, I want He Lichen's good and want to be with him...
He Lichen continued, "When I have the chance, I will introduce you to Yiyi. She is a simple girl."
"Well, I hope I have the honor to get to know Yiyi." She has never met Jian Yi, but through He Lichen, Xu Xiyun has a good impression of Jian Yi. She has begun to feel close to her, and she also calls Jian Yi Yiyi.
"She works at He Yi. When we have time later, we will have dinner together."
"Well, okay."
…
The day passed like this. He Lichen was busy with his own affairs, Jian Yi was also busy with her own affairs, and no one contacted anyone.
On Monday, after He Lichen went to the company and before entering the office, he looked in the direction of the office area outside and saw a little girl sitting there working hard.
"Jian Yi, come here." He Lichen said. Such a title and tone would not make other employees suspect the relationship between him and the little girl.
After Jian Yi heard her uncle's voice, she raised her head and looked at him. She understood his intention, nodded, and politely replied, "Yes."
Seeing her uncle walk into the office first, Jian Yicai hurriedly sorted out the work at hand, stood up, and walked towards the door of her uncle's office.
After knocking on the door and going in, Jian Yi didn't know what her uncle wanted to do with her. What she could guess was that her uncle probably wanted to arrange work for her.
"Uncle." Jian Yi walked to his uncle's desk and called out, because at this moment, she and his uncle were the only two people in the office.
"Well," He Lichen responded, looked at the little girl and asked, "Are you going to rest in the apartment during the weekend or not?"
"I rested for one day and went out for a walk the other day." Jian Yi simply answered without giving a detailed report to her uncle.
If it were normal times, when the two of them were spending time together like this, Jian Yi would have walked to her uncle a long time ago, acting like a spoiled child next to him, and she wished that her uncle knew everything about her, so that she could be close to him.
But now, Jian Yi knows in her heart that her uncle is not her own uncle anymore, so she'd better be careful.
He Lichen also noticed the changes between himself and the little girl. He frowned slightly and looked at the little girl. He wanted to ask something, but he couldn't say anything. In the end, he didn't ask anything.
"Do you have a lot of work today?" He Lichen changed the subject and asked something else.
"Not much. Brother Zhou Wei has always taken good care of me and didn't arrange too much work for me." Jian Yi replied.
"Well, then... I'll take you out for dinner at noon." He Lichen said. He hadn't been close to this girl for a few days, and he always felt that something was missing in his heart.
"Well, then I'll go out to work first, otherwise I'll have to work overtime at noon." The implication is that if you work overtime at noon, you can't go out to eat.
"Go ahead and call me if you need anything." He Lichen said.
Jian Yi nodded, turned around and left her uncle's office.
At noon, He Lichen waited for the girl in the parking lot. After the girl got in the car, he fastened his seat belt and then drove away.
Still the same as before, He Lichen chose the restaurant that the girl liked and ordered the dishes that she liked.
Although she didn't say anything, Jian Yi saw that the dishes on the table were all her favorites. Jian Yi knew in her heart that her uncle still loved her as much as before.
It's just that this love now makes me feel a little uncomfortable.
"What's wrong?" He Lichen noticed her distraction and asked.
Jian Yi hurriedly recovered her thoughts, shook her head, and replied, "It's okay, I just saw so many delicious foods and I don't know which one to eat first?"
He Lichen raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said, "You can eat whatever you want. These are all ordered for you."
Jian Yi also looked at her uncle and smiled, then picked up her chopsticks to eat.
While eating and chatting, the relationship between Jian Yi and her uncle gradually returned to the past, but Jian Yi did not rely on her uncle as much as before.
Compared with the chat in the office in the morning, He Lichen felt very comfortable and happy about getting along with the little girl now. This kind of her is the one he has always loved in his heart.
A few weeks later, He Lichen's life had not changed on the surface, but He Lichen knew that the only change was that his relationship with Xu Xiyun had become much closer, and it had reached the point where they officially met their parents.
In the office, He Lichen was on the phone, and the other party was Xu Xiyun.
"I will pick you up after get off work in the afternoon and we will go back to the mansion for dinner. My parents have already left in the afternoon." He Lichen said that these were decided two days ago. After discussing it with his family, they had no objections and neither did Xu Xiyun. , so I decided to take Xu Xiyun back to the mansion for dinner tonight and meet my grandparents and parents.
