"Well, if there's nothing else, I'll go out first," Jian Yi said.
"Well, wait for me after get off work in the afternoon, and we'll have dinner together." He Lichen said.
"What about Sister Xiyun?" Jian Yi asked.
"She drove there by herself. I won't pick her up today," He Lichen said.
Jian Yi nodded to express that she understood. After saying hello to her uncle, she left the office.
Returning to her office, Jian Yi started to work without thinking too much, trying to keep herself busy so that her mind would be completely occupied by work so that she would not have to think about it.
At noon, Jian Yi had lunch with her colleagues. After lunch, her colleagues took a lunch break. Jian Yi continued to work hard. Her work efficiency in the afternoon was higher than in the morning.
It wasn't until after get off work that Jian Yi stopped working, tidied up her desk, and went to the underground parking lot to look for her uncle's car.
He Lichen sat in the car and waited. When the little girl arrived, he helped her open the passenger door in the car.
Jian Yi got in the car, fastened her seat belt and asked her uncle, "Where are we going to eat?"
"It's the nearby restaurant, the one we went to before." He Lichen said and started the car.
Jian Yi knew which restaurant it was and didn't ask again.
He Lichen had reserved a table in advance, but when He Lichen and Jian Yi arrived, Xu Xiyun had already arrived.
Jian Yi saw a girl standing up not far away, smiling like her uncle, and looking at her. Jian Yi knew that she was her uncle's future wife Xu Xiyun.
She is a very elegant girl. She looks very pretty, has a good figure, and is very tasteful in her clothes. At first glance, she is not an ordinary girl.
As soon as Jian Yi approached Xu Xiyun, she heard her asking her uncle.
"Lichen, is this Yiyi?" Xu Xiyun asked generously.
"Yeah." He Lichen nodded and looked at the little girl beside him.
Xu Xiyun then looked at Jian Yi, smiled and said, "Hello Yiyi, I am Xu Xiyun."
"Well, my uncle told me," Jian Yi also acted very polite, forced a smile and said, "Hello, Sister Xiyun."
The two girls met and hugged each other very intimately before sitting down to eat together.
He Lichen was not disappointed. Xu Xiyun took good care of Jian Yi and treated Jian Yi like a little sister. She didn't care that He Lichen took care of Jian Yi. Seeing that He Lichen was so kind to Jian Yi, she just felt that he was so caring and considerate to his sister.
You should be fine too, right?
Under the care of her uncle and Xu Xiyun, Jian Yi didn't feel uncomfortable after the meal. Instead, she thought about it and felt very relaxed. Moreover, after chatting with Xu Xiyun and getting to know her, Jian Yi understood a lot.
I am really just a child. I don’t have Xu Xiyun’s sense and independence, nor her beauty and temperament. No wonder my uncle doesn’t love me. It turns out that in the eyes of a mature man like my uncle, he also loves a mature woman, and I
, not in his world at all.
After eating, Jian Yi was not willful and obeyed the arrangements of her uncle and Xu Xiyun.
"Li Chen, then I'll drive home by myself, and you can take Yiyi home," Xu Xiyun said.
"Well, then be careful on the road." He Lichen said.
"Well, send me a message when you get home." Xu Xiyun said.
"OK."
He Lichen and Xiao Niuer waited for Xu Xiyun to leave first before they got into the car.
On the way to the apartment, He Lichen still cared about little girl's opinion and asked, "Niu'er, I met Xiyun today, what do you think of her?"
"It's good. I like Sister Xiyun very much." Jian Yi replied, they are getting married, can she say she doesn't like her?
And it can be seen that my uncle and Xu Xiyun get along well. My current thoughts are that I don’t want to ruin my uncle’s happiness.
If I am destined not to be with my uncle in this life, then I hope that my uncle can be happy and that he can have his own happiness.
"Well, I can see it too," He Lichen replied. He also saw how the two of them got along tonight. "Then, if we get together more, you two will become more familiar with each other."
"Well, okay."
After He Lichen sent the little girl to the apartment, he did not go upstairs. After telling her to rest early, he drove away.
Jian Yi returned to the apartment. She was very dull, like a zombie. She went to wash up. After washing, she lay down on the bed, covered herself with a quilt and got ready to sleep.
There was only a small wall lamp turned on in the room, and the light was very dim, but Jian Yi didn't care about the light at all, because there was no light in her heart.
Gradually, Jian Yi curled up, buried her head in the quilt, and cried loudly.
Only in a quiet night, when you are alone, can you vent your inner discomfort and show your true self.
But Jian Yi knew that after crying, she still had to face what she had to face. She couldn't escape, and there was no way to escape.
That night, Jian Yi didn't know how long she cried, and she didn't know when she fell asleep.
But when the alarm rang the next morning, Jian Yi got up normally.
For a period of time after that, Jian Yi's life was very peaceful, but He Lichen's life was not peaceful at all.
The marriage of He Lichen and Xu Xiyun was finalized. When the He family and the Xu family were preparing for the engagement of their two children, the outside world gradually learned about it. The He family is a wealthy family in Westport, so such a happy event is naturally welcomed by the media circle and the upper class society.
, has even become a topic of public discussion, so the marriage of He Lichen and Xu Xiyun has become a topic of gossip and chat for many people.
From time to time, Jian Yi would hear her colleagues discussing gossip about her uncle and Xu Xiyun in the tea room, and sometimes she would hear things about her uncle when she went to other departments.
At first, Jian Yi was a little concerned and felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. But gradually she got used to it and Jian Yi didn't take it to heart anymore. After thinking about it cruelly, her uncle can only be her own uncle. There is no relationship between her and her uncle.
Your relationship will not turn out the way you want it to, so why do you still care about it?
As for He Lichen, in addition to being busy with work, he helps his parents with their engagement matters, visits the elders of the Xu family, and relatives and friends in his own family to inform them of his upcoming engagement.
On this day, Jian Yi finished her work in the afternoon, sat at her desk and opened the web page to browse the news, when her cell phone suddenly rang.
Jian Yi picked up the phone and saw that it was a call from Lan Xu. Jian Yi answered the call.
"Hey, Lan Xu."
"Jian Yi, it's me," Lan Xu replied, "Are you free tonight? Lan Ran and I would like to make an appointment with you."
Hearing what Lan Xu said, Jian Yi guessed and asked, "Is there something going on between you and Lan Ran?"
"Nothing, I just want to chat with you." Lan Xu said.
"Well, let's have dinner together after I get off work."
"Okay, okay." Lan Xu agreed quickly.
Jian Yi thought about it and asked, "Do you still want to call me uncle?" (To be continued)
