Chapter 475: Life is a Time to Be Ignorant
The sharp sound of brakes pierced his ears. Duanrao, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was thrown forward, but was pulled back by the seat belt, and his whole body bounced twice.
Xi Jingyue was frightened by Du Anrao's shocking words, and finally realized why the attitude of the Du family towards him became worse after the ancestor worship. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind at this moment, but he pretended not to show it on his face.
"Sorry, a cat just jumped out and scared me. Are you okay?"
But this time, Du Anrao was not easily fooled by him like he had been many times before. Instead, he said quietly, "Mr. Xi, you... can really hear what I'm thinking."
"!!!"
Xi Jingyue stepped on the brakes again and stopped the car next to the main road.
"Are you...kidding me?"
"Mr. Xi, do you think I'm kidding?"
Xi Jingyue met Du Anrao's gaze, remained silent for a long time, and finally gave in.
"I'm sorry, I'm not..."
The more Xi Jing wanted to say that he didn't mean it, the more he felt that this statement was too pale. Regardless of whether it was intentional or not, he had pried into other people's privacy, and that was an indisputable fact.
Duanrao didn't expect that he would apologize so cleanly and directly. He was stunned for a long moment before he burst out laughing.
"I'm not even in any danger, why do you look like the sky is falling?"
Xi Jingyue was a little surprised by Duanrao's reaction: "You're not angry?"
"Why should I be angry? And if I really want to be angry, how can I be angry? There are so many people who can hear my inner voice, and they are all my blood relatives and elders. Who should I be angry with? Why should I be angry with others?"
It would have been better if Duanrao hadn't said this. After he said this, Xi Jingyue became even more worried about her.
"I'm not your relative, nor am I your elder. You can vent your anger on me. Don't hold it in."
Duanrao was stunned, then he laughed even more happily.
"I'm really not angry. Maybe I was a little... angry at first, but after I calmed down and thought about it, I felt that it wasn't that hard to accept. Although it is true that having your privacy peeped into is a bit socially devastating, it is undeniable that thanks to this incident, the fate of many people has changed for the better, and that's enough. And..."
Duan Rao glanced at the people around him and let out a long sigh: "Besides, maybe I subconsciously don't want to know this too early. Sometimes the more you know, the happier you are, right? It's rare to be confused in life."
Du Anrao has been thinking a lot at home these days. If she knew from the beginning that her voice could be heard by others, even if she would not hold back on important matters, her mood and behavior would still be affected. She would be restrained and hesitant, and would not be as relaxed as before.
After all, everything has its pros and cons, it all depends on how the people in the situation view it.
Fortunately, Du Anrao is not the kind of person who likes to dwell on trivial matters. Since things have already happened, it will be useless to worry about it. It is better to look at it in a positive way.
Xi Jingyue could tell that what she said was from the heart, and he felt relieved: "That's right."
Du Anrao suddenly realized something and turned his head to look into Xi Jingyue's eyes. "So, what Mr. Xi said before about me writing everything on my face was all fake? In fact, you can hear what I'm thinking in my heart."
"Well... yeah."
[Humph, I said my acting skills are pretty good. I'm not a three-year-old kid. How can I really write everything on my face? ]
Xi Jingyue glanced at the smug look on someone's face, which showed everything she was thinking. He really couldn't lie to her that her acting was really good.
Duan Rao coaxed himself into a good mood and boasted for a long time before he seemed to have thought of something. He turned to look at Xi Jingyue and asked seriously, "When did you start to be able to hear my voice?"
"At the beginning."
"At the beginning?"
At this point, Xi Jingyue no longer concealed the truth and told everything.
"In fact, the first time we met was not at your second brother's crew, but at the restaurant where your fourth sister worked."
"The restaurant where my fourth sister works?" Du Anrao thought for a long time before he remembered when his fourth sister worked in a restaurant. His eyes shrank uncontrollably.
“So early!”
"Yes, I happened to be in S City discussing cooperation with someone, and the restaurant they booked was the one where your fourth sister worked. I had just walked in when I heard you muttering about your relationship with your fourth sister and Li Qianxi. Zhaoyang is my cousin, and although I'm not familiar with Li Qianxi, I've met her a few times, so when you mentioned the Li family, I immediately identified with them."
"Then your invitation to my cousin Li's company to have feng shui done was also premeditated. You wanted me to get in touch with the Li family as much as possible and tell them the truth?"
"Um."
"No wonder." Du Anrao suddenly realized, and she wondered how it happened to be such a coincidence. Every time she was thinking about how to find this or that, Mr. Xi would appear at the right time to give her a way out and provide her with help.
She always felt that Mr. Xi, such a big boss, was idle all day long and wandered around, which seemed to be not doing his job properly.
Xi Jingyue: “…” He is really busy. If it weren’t for the chance encounter with someone to eat melons, it would be common for him to work overtime all night. It’s common!
The long-standing doubts were answered, and Duan Rao felt a sense of relief that her heart, which had been hanging in the air for a long time, had finally settled. She breathed a sigh of relief but also felt a little lost, which made her couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Seeing this, Xi Jingyue raised his voice again: "Did I make you angry with what I did before? I apologize to you."
Duan Rao shook his head: "It's not your problem, I just think it's a bit unfair, you can all hear what I'm thinking, but I can't hear what you're thinking."
“…”
Xi Jingyue really didn't know how to comfort her. After a long silence, he could only say: "It's okay. If you want to know anything in the future, you can ask me directly. I will tell you everything I know."
Du Anrao didn't seem to expect Xi Jingyue to say that. His mind suddenly twitched and he suddenly asked, "Mr. Xi, are you comforting me, or... teasing me?"
After these words were spoken, both people in the car fell silent.
Xi Jingyue, in particular, suddenly recalled what Du Anrao had just said. In the original plot, he died of illness, and his grandparents, father, and mother listened to the charlatan and found a ghost marriage for him, but it turned out that the person he found was...
"I'm sorry, if anything I said offended you, you can just tell me and I'll pay attention to it."
"It's okay, it's okay, I was just joking. You didn't offend me, really, really!"
Xi Jingyue: “…”
Duan Rao: “…”
