"Ying Kexin...you..."
"curator!"
The curator, Shi Yan's aunt, appeared behind them.
When she appeared, the other colleagues who had gathered around to eat melons quickly returned to their workstations.
The two turned around and saw that their aunt's face looked as ugly as if she had eaten a fly.
Shi Yan quickly stood in front of Ying Kexin and said without flinching, "Aunt, if you have anything to say, just come to me."
"Shi Yan! Follow me!"
My aunt shouted angrily, turned around and walked to the side.
Shi Yan turned around and nodded to Ying Kexin, as if to reassure her, although he followed her.
In the office.
"Can you explain what's going on? I heard you often come to the art gallery, and not long ago you beat up Mr. Duan's son. What on earth are you thinking?"
My aunt tried to speak to him calmly, but the scene just now was still lingering in her mind and her tone was filled with anger.
After all, Ying Kexin will be her daughter-in-law in the future, but now she is involved with her nephew.
Shi Yan answered without any concealment.
"As you can see, I like Ying Kexin."
"What? Are you crazy?" Although I guessed it, I still shouted in surprise. "Wake up, she and Chang'an are getting engaged. What's going on? How could something like this happen in our family?"
"I know, so I'm also enduring it now. Within a day, I had the urge to take her away and run away many times, but I didn't do it. I am enduring it, enduring it a little longer."
My aunt sighed and took two steps back and forth in front of him.
"Are you really crazy? There are so many news reports about their engagement. Everyone in Nanhu knows about it, but I don't know how much you can endure what you can do with someone."
"I also want to know how much I can endure." Shi Yan put his hands in his pockets, took a step back, leaned against the wall, and sighed deeply. "If that person wasn't Chang'an, if she wasn't my cousin, if I didn't care about the reputation of the Shi family, I would have taken her away long ago."
As he spoke, he looked out the window. The sunset was really beautiful.
"I like her. I've said everything I need to say. I'm leaving now."
He turned around, opened the door, but before he could walk out, his aunt's voice came from behind him, making him stop.
"Shi Yan, Auntie doesn't want to get involved in the affairs of you younger generations. If you really like her, you can go to your grandfather about this matter. This is all Auntie can do."
He turned around and chuckled.
"Thank you, Auntie."
After walking out of the office, Shi Yan did not look for Ying Kexin immediately. Instead, he came to the door of the art gallery and leaned against the car.
I thought, it’s almost time to get off work anyway, so I’ll talk about it after get off work.
Many people had already left work, but Ying Kexin was still the same as before, as if she was the only employee in the entire art gallery. She had endless work to do and was reluctant to leave.
Before Ying Kexin got off work, she received a phone call.
A call that had to be answered.
"I see."
He simply answered with these four words before getting back into the car and driving away.
Ying Kexin breathed a sigh of relief after watching his car leave.
In the Shi family mansion, Shi Yan and his grandfather sat face to face.
Grandpa picked up the teacup in front of him and drank the tea slowly.
Shi Yan watched his grandfather put down his teacup before saying, "Let's just pretend that the engagement never happened. It was with a woman I was dating before."
"Aren't you ready to get married?"
Grandpa asked calmly.
"That was before."
"The last time I called you, you said you weren't ready and weren't considering marriage, so you didn't come back even when I asked you to. Anyway, you've always loved playing since you were a kid, and you never had enough fun. Why have you changed so quickly?"
"grandfather……"
"Forget it, it's all in the past." Grandpa interrupted Shi Yan. "Because you didn't show up, Chang'an said he could get engaged to this woman. Grandpa never forced you to get married. Chang'an did it of his own accord. Now that everyone knows, just pretend it never happened. After all, you've had so many women before, so this one doesn't matter to you."
"grandfather!"
Shi Yan stood up suddenly.
Grandpa looked up slowly, an unhappy expression on his face.
"Are you crazy? What woman has the nerve to do this? You're determined to bring shame upon the family."
Shi Yan sighed and sat down again.
"Didn't you call me here because you expected something like this to happen? I didn't expect to get your permission anyway. Grandpa has never been satisfied with anything I've done since I was a child."
Hearing this, the expression on grandpa's face became even uglier.
Normally, this face seems to have no expression no matter what happens, but today, it showed an unhappy expression many times.
"Shi Yan! You were the one who gave it up in the first place, but now you want to take it back. Love is not about possession. You haven't lost anything, so you don't understand love. You should respect the child who made up her mind. If it were you, if it was love, you wouldn't agree to the engagement. Let it go after it's over."
"If it's something that will be forgotten in the past, is it still love? Just like Grandpa said, I've never lost anything in my life, so there's no need for me to lose something so precious. I won't lose it. If it's love, I should hold on to it tightly."
After hearing this, grandpa laughed.
Five years have passed, and Shiyan has indeed changed a lot.
"I respect the choices of all of you, so you should also respect that child. Go ask her. If she agrees to cancel the engagement, and if Chang'an has no objection, then do as you say."
"Goodbye, Grandpa."
Shi Yan stood up, nodded, and left politely.
That night.
His car was parked downstairs of Ying's house.
Sitting in the car, I called Ying Kexin, and the phone came: [Sorry, the number you dialed cannot be connected at the moment.]
Because he went to the art museum to look for her today without any hesitation and was discovered by his aunt, she no longer answers his calls.
"Really? I'm not a stalker."
Shi Yan hammered his hands on the steering wheel, trembling with pain. He gripped the steering wheel tightly and lay on it.
"Ying Kexin, you really can make me look like a fool."
It feels like my whole body is paralyzed.
"I can treat you better!"
…
"I should have treated you well a long time ago."
…
"Ying Kexin, please, just once, even just once."
Shi Yan leaned on the steering wheel and talked to himself.
He had experienced countless regrets, but this time, he felt the most regretful and painful.
Why does liking someone hurt so much?
“Bang, bang!”
Suddenly, there was a knock on the glass.
Shi Yan was startled and suddenly raised his head. Through the car window, he saw a familiar figure.
