Chapter 495 Fatal Questioning, Unrequited Love (Part 1)
Xie Yunlan paused, stunned: "Huh?"
At this time, the call was connected, and the old lady's joyful voice came from the other end: "A Yuan has someone he likes?! Is this true?! Who is it?!"
Xie Yunlan suddenly reacted and looked at Xie Dingyuan with surprise and questioning eyes. She also wanted to know.
Xie Dingyuan avoided answering and said, "Anyway, don't arrange blind dates for me anymore."
After saying that, he prepared to leave.
Xie Yunlan quickly said to the other end of the phone: "Mom, I'm hanging up first. I'll tell you in detail when I get back."
Then, he chased after him and grabbed him: "You want to slip away before you've even finished speaking? Who taught you that?"
Xie Dingyuan's scalp tingled.
"Tell me, who is the girl you like? Do I know her?" Xie Yunlan stood in front of him, hands on his hips, and suddenly tilted his head, "It's a girl, right? Don't give me the whole boy."
Xie Dingyuan suddenly felt a headache and said helplessly: "Third sister, I have an experiment this afternoon..."
"It's nothing serious. It's just a matter of a few words. After that, we'll let you in. Don't even mention doing experiments. You can do whatever you want."
Xie Dingyuan: “…”
"It's hard to say? Not convenient to talk about it? Or... are you just making up nonsense to deceive me and the old lady, and there's actually no such person at all?"
“…”
Xie Yunlan didn't know what he was thinking about, and his eyes suddenly widened. "Xiaojiu, don't scare me. You really are a young man, huh? You... you... our Xie family only has you as their only child. We're counting on you to carry on the family line!"
The veins on Xie Dingyuan's forehead throbbed violently, and he gritted his teeth, "Third sister, don't talk nonsense!"
"Isn't it? Then why are you hesitating and hiding it? Oh my God! If Dad knew, he would break your legs!"
"No."
"Um?"
"I said no...boy!"
"Then..." Xie Yunlan's eyes rolled, "Which girl is it?"
Xie Dingyuan stopped talking again.
Third Sister Xie punched him, "Still hiding? Can I eat her? You little bastard, why is your mouth so hard to pry open?"
Xie Dingyuan didn't dodge and let her hit him. It didn't hurt anyway.
"Third sister, it's not that I don't want to tell you, it's..."
Xie Yunlan: "What is it?"
“…”
"Oh my! You're telling me half the truth and leaving the other half to yourself. Are you trying to drive me crazy?"
Xie Dingyuan gritted his teeth and said, "I'm not sure about her feelings, so it's too early to say anything now."
"What do you mean? The girl doesn't like you?" Xie Yunlan was slightly surprised.
"Not really... I don't know whether she likes it or not..."
"After all this time, Xiaojiu, are you in love with me?"
Xie Dingyuan's cheeks turned slightly red at a speed visible to the naked eye, then spread to his ears until his entire face was burning red.
He felt a little embarrassed, but more of an embarrassment of being exposed in public.
It seems that he is still the one who is in love with Jiang Fuyue at the moment. The latter has not responded at all, and she has not even noticed it.
From the beginning to now, I have been performing a solo show.
Thinking of this, Xie Dingyuan no longer had the courage to say it out loud.
Xie Yunlan saw the change in his expression clearly and couldn't help but sigh in amazement. When had Xiaojiu ever had such a worried look? Conflicted and aggrieved, angry and helpless.
He is the dignified Professor Xie, who has always been arrogant and looks down on everyone.
So who on earth could possibly have caused him to behave like this? Xie Yunlan admitted that she was genuinely curious.
"Can't you reveal a little bit? Just a little bit?" She pinched her fingers and measured out the size of a fingernail.
Xie Dingyuan shook his head decisively: No.
"Forget it, I won't ask any of these. I just want you to promise that the other person is a woman."
"I promise." This time Xie Dingyuan did not avoid it.
Xie Yunlan breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, there is still hope for our Xie family."
Xie Dingyuan: “…”
"Then I go back, what should I say if the old lady asks?"
"Tell the truth."
"She'll definitely be clamoring to come to Linhuai to see her future daughter-in-law."
Xie Dingyuan gave her a cold look and said, "This is one of the reasons why I didn't tell you."
Xie Yunlan's mouth twitched.
But then I thought again, my mouth is not really suitable for keeping secrets, and the truth will be revealed as soon as the old lady asks!
"Then this chicken soup..."
Xie Dingyuan shook his head: "No."
"Okay," Xie Yunlan said without forcing her. "I've brought the things. It's up to you whether you choose to choose them or not."
I don’t know whether it is “chicken soup” or “Zhuang Yawen”.
"Then I'll go in first."
"Well, go ahead." Xie Yunlan waved his hand, "Work hard and try to let the old lady see the real person on New Year's Eve this year."
To be honest, Xie Dingyuan didn't dare to guarantee it because he was not sure at all!
How does Jiang Fuyue feel about him?
Is it the same way I treat her?
What does she think of him?
Is it possible that there is still a knot in your heart because of those unpleasant misunderstandings in the past?
Thinking back to the first time they met, when he had thrown her to the ground without mercy, Xie Dingyuan couldn't help but want to hit his left hand against his right: I'll make you a slut! I'll make you restless!
…
"Thank you, Auntie. Here you go." Zhuang Yawen handed over the mineral water she had just bought.
“…Ah? Oh, thank you for your trouble.” Xie Yunlan took over.
Everyone knew that they were looking for an excuse to get her away, but neither of them said it out loud.
"Professor Xie, what about you? Have you ever had chicken soup? How does it taste?"
Xie Yunlan met her gentle and expectant gaze and sighed silently: "I'm sorry, Yawen, he said he was full and couldn't drink anymore, so..."
Zhuang Yawen sensed something, and her heart sank to the bottom, but she kept her smile intact and said politely, "Is that so... It's okay. Although chicken soup is good, don't force yourself to drink it if you can't finish it. It's not good for your stomach."
Xie Yunlan nodded: "You are very thoughtful. It's also our bad timing. He had already eaten when we arrived."
Zhuang Yawen: "Next time, there will be many opportunities in the future."
Xie Yunlan wanted to say, girl, you have no chance.
"Come on, let's not waste time here. How about going shopping? The traditional massage I had yesterday was really good. I want to try some other ones."
"Okay," Zhuang Yawen said sweetly, but if you looked closely, you would see a serious look in her eyes, far from what she said. "Are we leaving now?"
"Um."
"Where's Professor Xie?" she asked in surprise. "It's so hard to see you. Can't you spend more time with me?"
This question is absolutely correct!
He didn't mention himself at all, just said he was accompanying Xie Yunlan.
"He was busy. He only said a few words before rushing back to the lab. That's still good. If he was really busy, even if we were just through the door, we wouldn't be able to say a word."
"Is it so scary?" Zhuang Yawen was really surprised.
She had always heard Xie Yunlan say that Xie Dingyuan was very busy, and she thought it was just an excuse or a pretext, and never thought that he was really that busy.
"What else do you think?" Xie Yunlan sighed. "Being a scientist isn't easy. The greater your ability, the greater your responsibility. You spend the entire year in the lab, barely going home. But there's nothing we can do. The country needs him, and he's willing to do it. We can't persuade him, and we don't dare..."
Persuade him to give up scientific research?
Or persuade him not to participate in dangerous experiments?
This advice may delay the entire country's biochemical defense process. The Nova virus incident concerns the lives of tens of billions of people around the world.
Everyone only sees the power, wealth and status represented by the three words "Xie Dingyuan", but as family members, they only see his busyness, hard work, sleepless nights and tireless work.
"So my wife and I are worried about whether he can find a wife. He spends all day in the lab. It's impossible for a girl to fall into his arms out of thin air, right?"
Xie Yunlan said, shaking his head and smiling.
Zhuang Yawen also curled her lips, but her heart was lost in thought.
For the first time, she doubted whether such a man with a broad mind and a vision that was destined not to be limited to a small family was really suitable for her?
Ask yourself: Can she adapt to her husband being away from home all year round after marriage? Can she endure the loneliness of being alone with him? Can she accept giving birth alone and raising a child as a "widow"?
Zhuang Yawen feels terrified just thinking about any of the above situations.
"Aunt Xie, aren't you going shopping? I want to buy something too, let's go."
Seeing that she had figured it out, Xie Yunlan thought to himself that she was a smart person. It was a pity that she couldn't become the daughter-in-law of their Xie family.
Do you really think she knows nothing?
Haha, the little girl’s tricks are all left over from her past tricks.
When leaving, Zhuang Yawen looked back at the closed door and asked, "Professor Xie, right?"
He didn't even look at her?
I don’t know which unlucky guy will take over this straight man in the future.
First update, 3,000 words.
There will be two or three updates, and there will be more tomorrow.
