"I haven't received the things yet, but congratulations." Nie Xunhuan smiled sweetly. She was touched by Duan Yue's kindness to her.
He was a good man, but she was not a good woman.
Duan Yue's family conditions were actually very good. Although they were not a merchant family, his family had been practicing medicine for generations and were very famous in the medical field.
However, he used his own royalties to buy her a gift for the Chinese Valentine's Day, which of course moved her, but also made her feel guilty.
"By the way, what construction site did you mention just now?" Duan Yue didn't know that she had dropped out of school.
Nie Xunhuan's heart sank, not knowing whether she should tell Duan Yue the truth.
"Then I..." She hesitated, not knowing how to answer.
She heard a noise on the other end of Duan Ye's phone. Although the other party was speaking in English, she still understood some of it. They were probably urging Duan Ye to go out quickly, as if to celebrate. There were men and women, probably his classmates.
"Xunhuan, you have the place for the exchange student this time. I hope you can come soon so that I won't be lonely. When you come, stay with me in the United States for a year. It just so happens that your exchange day is coming and I will graduate." Duan Ye's voice was full of love. Nie Xunhuan's
throat was a little sour and her nose turned red. She said "um" lightly, and then heard a busy tone. It seemed that the signal was not good and the phone was hung up.
She leaned against the kitchen sink, her arms hanging on both sides of her body, and a sad look appeared on her delicate face.
After a while, Duan Yue sent a text message, telling her that he was leaving and asking her to take good care of herself.
Nie Xunhuan stared at the short line of words, tears streaming down her face.
Bo Junyi stood coldly at the door of the kitchen, and couldn't help but feel annoyed when he saw her crying.
But he didn't say anything, just stood there, staring at her closely with a pair of gloomy black eyes.
Seeing her crying for other men, his mature and profound face became even darker.
While eating, Nie Xunhuan looked like a walking corpse, she didn't touch the rice at all, and didn't even eat a few bites of the vegetables.
She felt sorry for Duan Yue's efforts and felt deeply guilty. She
wanted to find a chance to explain things to Duan Yue.
Late at night, Nie Xunhuan still couldn't go home, but Bo Junyi didn't force her to sleep with him.
She sat alone on the sofa, holding her cell phone, with her knees against her forehead, curled up into a ball.
With a thud, someone was talking to her on WeChat.
She opened her eyes and saw that it was Nie Han.
"Sister, someone called home and said that the customs has detained something sent to you by mail from the United States, and asked you to go there tomorrow."
She realized that it should be something sent by Duan Ye.
"I see, I'll go tomorrow."
"Sister... are you with that man?" Nie Han asked cautiously.
Nie Xunhuan sent an "um" and put down the phone.
Later, Nie Han stopped talking, probably to go to sleep.
Nie Xunhuan's bright black eyes were full of sadness, and then he fell on the sofa and slowly closed his eyes.
The next day, when Nie Xunhuan opened her eyes, she found that she was sleeping on the bed in the bedroom, covered with a quilt.
She couldn't remember what happened last night. It should be Bo Junyi who carried her in, so his wound should have been split open.
His injury must not get worse, otherwise she would stay here for a long time.
She hurriedly put on her slippers and ran to the living room, but the whole apartment was very quiet, as if no one was there except her.
She glanced at the time and it was already half past ten. It seemed that Bo Junyi had gone to work.
She also quickly packed up and took a taxi to the customs to pick up her things.
However, when she arrived at the customs, the other party said that they would not give her the things no matter what, saying that there were contraband items in the parcel sent by mail, and they would either be destroyed or returned to the original place.
The other party asked her if she knew what was inside, but she shook her head. She really didn't know what Duan Ye had sent.
She was anxious when she thought that the things might be destroyed. No matter how she explained, the other party would not listen.
Just when she was getting anxious, a person appeared, Su Wen.
"What contraband?" Su Wen came over in a black casual suit. He recognized Nie Xuhuan from the back.
Nie Xunhuan was stunned when she saw him, "Su Wen, why are you here?"
"Oh, I came to help my dad inspect it," he turned his head and looked at the staff, "What prohibited items, just open it and you'll know."
"This..." The staff didn't know what to do, he said embarrassedly: "Secretary Su, this is against the rules."
"Don't you think it's ridiculous that you talk about rules with me?" Su Wen asked in a gangster tone.
Nie Xunhuan was worried that Su Wen would quarrel with the other party, so she stood up and said: "Open the thing, open it in front of me. If it is really prohibited items, I have no complaints if you destroy it."
"Okay." The staff nodded reluctantly and took her to a room.
There were many packages in the room, all sent from abroad. When they were found to have problems, they were piled here.
The staff quickly found her package and muttered, "In fact, we seized it because someone reported that there was a problem with this package."
Nie Xunhuan frowned. She didn't offend anyone, and who was so powerful that he could seize the package?
The staff took a paper cutter to cut open the package and opened the foam inside. There was a big heart-shaped box inside.
She frowned. Is this a gift from Duan Ye to her?
This box is too extravagant. Considering Duan Ye's taste, he would not choose such a thing.
The staff continued to dismantle and opened the heart-shaped lid. It was filled with everlasting roses, and in the center of the flowers was a heart-shaped box. You knew what was inside without even looking.
For the sake of safety, the staff opened the box, and inside was indeed a diamond ring.
The huge dove egg was almost blinding.
"Tsk, who is so romantic?" Su Wen looked at the diamond ring with some disdain. It was not very big, but he could afford it.
Nie Xunhuan's eyes reddened and she sniffed. She calmly asked the staff, "Excuse me, what could be the problem with this thing?"
The staff didn't know how to answer, "We are just following orders."
He was really innocent.
Su Wen walked over, took the diamond ring from the staff's hand, and put it on Nie Xunhuan's finger carelessly. He ignored the staff's obstruction and rushed out with her.
The staff member also knew where Su Wen came from, but since it was a diamond ring and the person in question was the one who came to pick it up, he just let it go.
Nie Xunhuan rubbed the diamond ring on her finger with her fingertips, crying as she walked.
Su Wen thought she was moved, so he joked, "If a diamond ring could make you cry, I would have given it to you too."
