"You've had a hard journey, haven't you? Driving must be tiring."
The man opposite Ying Kexin was holding a wine glass in his hand and speaking with a smile at the dining table.
She put down her chopsticks slowly.
"No, it's okay."
Suddenly, I received a call from Duan Hongwei, saying that he had to meet me for something, so I showed up here. There was a lot of food on the table, but I had no appetite at all. I picked up the chopsticks and took two bites. When I heard the man talking, I couldn't eat at all.
Duan Hongwei laughed and explained, "I was too rude last time. I must apologize in person. Only then will I feel better."
"No, it's okay."
The voice was still as calm as always.
Facing the man in front of her, she didn't feel angry, let alone any affection. She felt nothing at all, like an emotionless robot.
If it weren't for their mother, neither of them would have known each other.
It was only the second time she met him, what else could she say.
Ying Kexin's calm tone could only make Duan Hongwei find something to say.
"You look so pretty when you eat. You probably hear this kind of thing often."
“I’m hearing this for the first time.”
"I was too careless back then, so I want to get along well with you in the future. What do you think?"
You really have some intention, right?
She remembered what she said clearly at the Xinghai Garden Hotel.
"Of course I was rude back then," Ying Kexin said without giving it much thought. "But no matter how many times I ask this question, my answer is always the same. I'm sorry, I believed then and now that we were not meant to be."
As soon as she finished speaking, she nodded, took her handbag, and walked outside.
"Wait a moment!"
Duan Hongwei immediately chased out of the box.
The voice came from behind her.
"I know you're sad, that's why I want to behave well again."
"I'm sorry, I hope you don't arrange such occasions again in the future. I will pay for the order."
"Didn't I already say I'm sorry?"
Duan Hongwei suddenly roared and grabbed Ying Kexin who was about to leave.
"Don't be like that."
Ying Kexin's hand was so painful from his grip that it felt like her wrist could be crushed.
"What? A date?"
Suddenly a voice came, interrupting the two people.
At the same time, looking over, they saw Shi Yan standing between the two people with his hands in his pockets.
"Tsk! We meet again."
Ying Kexin didn't want to see the two of them, so she took this opportunity to shake off Duan Hongwei's hand and turned away.
Before leaving, he said something.
"I'm leaving first."
"you……"
Duan Hongwei looked at Ying Kexin's figure, wanted to chase her but didn't, and sighed helplessly.
The next second, Shi Yan said, "Courtship doesn't seem to be going well."
"Shi Yan, don't be too confident."
He sneered and walked out in the direction Ying Kexin left.
My wrist hurts.
Duan Hongwei was really strong. When he walked out of the restaurant, his scratches were still on his wrists.
The moment he raised his hand and opened the car door, his body trembled as if he had been electrocuted.
She closed her eyes and sighed helplessly.
"Ying Kexin, how was your meal?" Shi Yan's words came from behind her with a hint of sarcasm. Before she could turn around, Shi Yan had already come up behind her, even leaning very close. He raised his hand and shook her hand on the car door handle. "Your date didn't seem to go well, did it?"
His warm breath was beside my ears.
Just as she was about to speak, Shi Yan held her hand and opened the car door.
"It's getting late. I have to go."
Ying Kexin remained calm, pushed Shi Yan away, and sat in the car.
When closing the car door, Shi Yan's hand suddenly placed on the door to stop him.
Shi Yan slowly leaned over, his tall body blocking the entire door.
"Ying Kexin, this is the second time today, so be careful on the road."
After saying this, Shi Yan closed the car door like a gentleman.
But Ying Kexin knew that he was not a gentleman.
How could a gentleman ask someone to sleep with him/her the first time they met?
If you meet this kind of person, you must avoid him.
When Ying Kexin returned home, it was already dark. She looked at the time and it was already past nine o'clock.
The lights were still on in the living room.
I don’t know why, but I feel very tired and exhausted.
She dragged her heavy body upstairs step by step.
Every step seems like a huge obstacle.
There were only a dozen steps, but it felt like a long walk.
I'm tired of this. How long will this last?
"I plan to send Ying Kexin away this year."
As I stepped onto the last step, a voice came from the half-open room.
The person who spoke was his elder brother Ying Lun.
The lights were on in the room, and two figures could be seen in the corridor.
"I'll take care of it. Just focus on the company."
This voice is my mother.
"Didn't you say you'd figure it out yourself? The result of your figuring out what to do is to arrange at least one blind date every month. Don't you think that's too much?"
"Why are you like this too? Marriage isn't something you can just find a partner for."
here we go again.
The two quarreled again because of her.
"Mom, if you do that, it will make your relationship look bad in the eyes of others."
"Isn't that true?"
This rhetorical question made Ying Kexin lower her eyes at the stairs.
