Chapter 52052 For You
"How is it?" Fang Jing, who was waiting outside, immediately stepped forward.
Xue Yi wasn't sure, but recalling Xue Ruiguo's last expression, he said, "Fifty percent sure."
Her face was pale. Fang Jing wanted to reach out to support her, but he raised his arm mid-air before retracting it. He simply said gently, "That's already very good."
"Let's wait for the results."
Xue Yi opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat.
Since noon, she has been feeling a dull pain in her lower abdomen. Fortunately, she calculated that her period was coming and prepared sanitary napkins in advance.
"Wait me a moment."
Fang Jing didn't get in the car right away. Instead, he turned and walked towards a convenience store on the side of the road. Not long after, he returned with a cup of hot milk and handed it to her: "Here."
Xue Yi was slightly stunned. The warmth from the paper cup warmed her palms and seeped into her heart. She whispered, "Thank you."
She took a sip of hot milk and turned her head to look carefully at Fang Jing who was driving.
Over the years, their getting along seemed to have become a habit. Because they were too familiar with each other, she had never looked at him carefully.
Although Fang Jing's appearance is not as exquisite and eye-catching as Yu Zeyuan's, he has a kind of elegant and refined temperament. When you are with him, you always feel at ease and reliable.
"Why haven't you had a girlfriend in all these years?"
“I haven’t found the right one.”
In the past, Xue Yi probably wouldn't have continued to ask, but for some reason, she suddenly became interested: "So what type do you like?"
Fang Jing didn't expect her to ask this. He stared straight ahead, but his hand gripping the steering wheel tightened a little unconsciously.
"If I have to say," he paused, "it's probably gentle."
Xue Yi tilted her head and jokingly said, "So you like this one? Then I'll keep an eye out for you next time."
Fang Jing just smiled and didn't take it seriously. He changed the subject and asked, "How are you and your boyfriend doing lately?"
When this was mentioned, Xue Yi's eyes dimmed, his eyelashes drooped, and his expression became solemn.
Fang Jing noticed her depressed look from the corner of his eye and spoke carefully: "Is...something wrong?"
Xue Yi bit her lip and finally asked the question that was confusing her: "Let me give you an example. If a woman knows that there's no future with a man, but she's reluctant to part ways, thinking about enjoying the present moment first and then revealing her feelings when the time is right, wouldn't that be too selfish for the man?"
There is a red light ahead.
Fang Jing stopped the car and turned to look at Xue Yi.
His eyes were deep, but at this moment they were filled with a soft glow.
"If that boy was me."
His voice was steady and gentle, "I wouldn't think so."
"Why?"
"Since you've chosen to be together, you must have considered the worst-case scenario. But before that, I'd rather she tell me her concerns, rather than let me just let them run wild and bear the consequences alone."
"But this problem is very real, why can't it be solved?"
"Then let's find a way to overcome it together."
“What if I can’t overcome it?”
"If you don't try, how do you know it won't work?"
Xue Yi was silent.
Yes, perhaps I was too arbitrary and unilaterally predicted the outcome without consulting the other party.
After finishing the family affairs, she must have a good talk with Yu Zeyuan.
After figuring this out, her mood suddenly brightened, and she said with a smile: "Thanks, I owe you another meal."
Fang Jing forced a smile: "You're welcome."
Before I knew it, the car had stopped at the door.
Xue Yi unbuckled her seatbelt and was about to get out of the car when she suddenly turned around and said, "Why don't we have dinner at my house before leaving?"
Fang Jing hesitated: "But I have to go back to the company later."
"It won't take much time. Besides, I've been grateful for your help these days."
Fang Jing wanted to refuse: "Besides, it's not appropriate for me to come here empty-handed. Maybe next time..."
Xue Yi knew his personality too well. He was indecisive and sometimes needed someone to push him.
So she leaned closer to Fang Jing.
The sudden approach made him freeze in place.
The faint fragrance from Xue Yi disturbed his breathing. He stared blankly at her as she reached out and deftly unbuckled her seat belt, then grabbed his arm.
"Let's go."
“………”
Fang Jing was pulled out of the car like a puppet.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered the afternoon many years ago when his family went bankrupt.
Xue Yi did the same. She pulled him out of the dark and damp room without hesitation, exposed him to the sunlight, and protected him from the ridicule, sarcasm and rumors.
It was from that time that a seed took root and sprouted in his heart.
But he only dared to bury it with the soil of reason over and over again, for fear that it would grow too fast, too lush, and finally grow out of control.
Because, he was at that time.
Not worthy of it at all.
Finally, when he tried his best to become better and be able to stand by her side, there was someone else there.
After all, I was still a step slow.
Maybe it's also good to just stay by her side quietly.
Fang Jing suddenly felt a little relieved.
Fortunately, it was just a young sprout that had grown for ten years but never blossomed or borne fruit, so it was strangled in the soil in time.

They walked into the villa one after another.
When Aunt Ding saw Fang Jing, a pleasant smile appeared on her face: "Young Master Fang is here! Master and Madam will definitely be happy to see him!"
"Aunt Ding, please don't call me Young Master anymore. Just call me Fang Jing."
"How can this be possible?"
Sure enough, when Xue Ruihua and Zhao Jingshu saw Fang Jing, their faces immediately filled with smiles: "Xiao Jing! It's been a long time since you came. Let me see you look much more energetic! Do you have a girlfriend?"
Fang Jing responded gently and politely: "Not yet."
"You're not young anymore, it's time to think about it."
Xue Ruihua followed up with a joke: "That's right! If you really can't find one, it would be nice to come to our house and be our son-in-law!"
Xue Yi interrupted at the right moment: "Dad, Fang Jing is a young talent, how could he possibly become your son-in-law? Don't dream!"
Xue Ruihua glared at her and said, "Forget about being a live-in son-in-law. Why don't you find me a boyfriend first?"
Xue Yi snorted, pulled Fang Jing's arm and walked towards the sofa, deliberately raising her voice: "Come, drink some water first, don't listen to what they say."
Fang Jing always had a gentle smile on his face: "Okay."
Aunt Ding quickly prepared a table of food. She remembered that Fang Jing loved sweet and sour pork ribs, so she specially made a large portion.
Xue Yi enthusiastically picked up the largest piece of pork ribs and put it in his bowl: "Eat it while it's hot! Thanks so much for your help this time!"
Zhao Jingshu saw it and deliberately said, "Xiao Jing, you've helped our family so much, is there anything you want?"
Xue Ruihua said solemnly: "Yes! After this difficult time is over, the company will definitely not treat you unfairly!"
Xue Yi nodded aside: "You must give Fang Jing a promotion and a raise!"
"Uncle Xue and Aunt Zhao, you're so polite. I don't want anything. This is what I should do. You've helped our family so much, and I've never had the chance to repay you properly."
"These are trivial matters, not worth mentioning."
…
At the dinner table, although Xue Yi appeared to be chatting and laughing calmly, his eyes kept glancing at his phone from time to time.
There was still no sound until dinner was over.
"I'll go see Fang Jing off."
Xue Yi walked to the door and stopped: "Be careful when driving on the road."
"Okay." Fang Jing saw her worry and asked softly, "Are you still worried about Xue Ruiguo's situation?"
Xue Yi didn't want to hide it and nodded.
"It's still early, just be patient and wait."
"Yeah, I know."
Just as Xue Yi turned around, there was a sudden "ding" sound from her cell phone.
She took a quick look and instantly jumped up with excitement. She grabbed Fang Jing's arm with both hands and couldn't help sharing her joy, "Uncle! He agreed!"
On the phone screen, three words were clearly displayed: [I agree.]
Fang Jing hadn't seen her so happy in a long time. Looking at her sparkling eyes, he couldn't help but smile too: "Congratulations."
Xue Yi was excited for a while, then realized that she had lost her composure and quickly let go of his hand: "Sorry, I was too excited."
"fine."
"You go back first, I have to tell my parents this good news!"
Xue Yi ran home excitedly, shouting, "Mom and Dad! I have good news to announce!!"
She told them all about her meeting with Xue Ruiguo this afternoon and the news she had just received.
After hearing this, the whole family was immediately delighted and couldn't stop smiling.
Xue Yi hummed a song while taking a comfortable bath in the bathtub. The comfortable water temperature relieved the fatigue caused by the tension of the past few days. She put on a facial mask and enjoyed a moment of leisure time.
After taking a bath and changing into her pajamas, she lay on the bed, picked up her cell phone, and took a deep breath. Now that the things at home were almost settled, it was time to deal with the emotional issues.
Yiyi: [Are you free tomorrow?]
Y: Yes.
Yiyi: [See you at the Other Shore Café at 2:00 PM. I have something to tell you.]
Y: [Okay.]
Yu Zeyuan arrived at the agreed coffee shop half an hour early.
He was wearing the dark blue suit that Xue Yi had given him, which made him look particularly tall and straight. He was undoubtedly handsome, but in this scorching heat of late August, just looking at him made people feel stuffy and unbearable.
Fortunately, the air conditioning in the cafe was turned on high, which dispelled some of the heat.
While waiting, there were many girls who were attracted by his appearance and came forward to chat with him, but he politely declined them all.
At a quarter to one, Xue Yi pushed open the glass door and walked in.
Unlike Yu Zeyuan's formality, she dressed casually and comfortably, wearing a cotton and linen shirt with a flowing long skirt, which exuded elegance in simplicity.
"Have you been waiting long?"
"I just arrived too."
Xue Yi ordered a cappuccino, his eyes fell on the table, not knowing how to start.
In fact, she had started to back down on the way here. This relationship was hard-earned, and she was afraid that once she opened her mouth, it would mean the end.
Just when she was feeling conflicted and at a loss as to what to do, an exquisite velvet gift box was gently pushed in front of her.
Yu Zeyuan's gentle voice was in my ears: "This is for you."
