Chapter 170 Take what you like
In Beijing, He Yanxun sat nervously in the living room, which was older than his own home.
He sat up straight like a primary school student.
Beneath his black wool coat was the suit he hated wearing the most.
He has always been free-spirited and undisciplined, but today he came to see the Si family in his best manner.
Si Bing sat down next to him: "Little Hehe, tell me, did Xiao Wu force you?"
"I'm a black belt in Taekwondo, breaking his dog legs would be a piece of cake."
Si Shen pulled the person away: "Have you broken up with your 186th boyfriend yet?"
"Stay away from her, she's a scumbag."
Si Bing picked up an apple from the table and took a bite: "I'm very simple-minded, I only care about feelings, not lust."
"Also, this is her fiancé, not her boyfriend."
"You should call him brother-in-law."
Tong Xi wore a black pleated long skirt with an apricot-colored sweater over it.
"Fifth Brother, I need to talk to you."
Since returning from Luocheng, Tong Xi has been staying at the Si family's house because she knows that Yu Chuan may avoid seeing her, but he will definitely come to visit her aunt's family at the Si family's house.
Si Shen smiled and said softly, "Xi'er, call her sister-in-law."
Tong Xi smiled and said, "Hello, sister-in-law. May Fifth Brother and Fifth Sister-in-law have a long and happy marriage, a Happy New Year, and may your love last forever..."
He Yanxun: ...
Si Shen took out a black card from his wallet and handed it to her: "Here, this is a gift from your sister-in-law."
Tong Xi didn't stand on ceremony with Si Shen; in her plan, she needed money.
"Fifth Brother, is Brother Yu Chuan coming to our house for dinner tonight?"
He Yanxun picked up an apple and sat down to watch the show.
"Xi'er, he's getting engaged."
"Listen to Fifth Brother, there are quite a few suitable women for you among the prominent families in Beijing."
Tong Xi lowered her head, and Si Shen, feeling sorry for his sister, sighed, "He will come."
"Is he alone?" Tong Xi's eyes lit up as Si Shen gently stroked his sister's long hair.
"one person."
Tong Xi pursed her lips: "Fifth Brother, after the New Year, I want to go abroad."
Si Shen assumed that the young girl couldn't accept the news of Yu Chuan's engagement.
"Okay, brother will arrange it."
“Xi’er, our family is not short of money. Fifth Brother can support you for the rest of your life. As long as you are happy, nothing else matters.”
The little girl hugged Si Shen's arm and leaned against him: "Fifth Brother, I will be happy."
In the evening, Yu Chuan arrived with gifts: "Uncle Si, Aunt Fang, Happy New Year."
The Si family is large; Yu Chuan wasn't the only friend who came; friends of the other Si brothers also came.
Therefore, the manor offers a buffet with Western, barbecue, and Chinese food.
Tong Xi didn't join them; instead, she found a corner to eat her grilled skewers and drink her favorite soda.
Looking at the person she had been longing for, Tong Xi didn't excitedly approach him as usual, and instead kept her presence to a minimum.
Si Bing walked up to her: "Nao Nao, why don't you go up and say hello to your living father?"
Nao Nao is Tong Xi's nickname, and only Si Bing calls her that.
"Third sister, he's getting engaged."
Si Bing sat lazily next to her, cheering her sister on: "What's the big deal? It's not like you're getting engaged."
"Nao Nao, girls in our family are born noble. If you like something, just snatch it. If you can't snatch it, your older sister will help you."
Tong Xi turned her gaze away from Yu Chuan.
"He doesn't like me."
"Don't you like it?" Si Bing almost spat out the wine in her mouth.
“Baby, Yu Chuan has cherished you since you were little, how could he not like you?”
Tong Xi looked at her usually carefree sister and said, "His feelings for me are not romantic."
He treats me like his daughter.
Si Bing laughed so hard she could barely stand up straight: "Our Nao Nao is so cute."
"Nao Nao, let me help you grab it."
Tong Xi finished her drink and said, "Sister, could you do me a favor later?"
"Okay, should I have my sister drug someone or kidnap them? You tell me."
The little girl whispered in her cousin's ear.
Si Bing's lips twitched: "Nao Nao, don't go too far. Don't be like your fifth brother, who's love-struck."
Tong Xi lowered her head and said, "Third Sister, I envy Fifth Brother."
As the banquet was drawing to a close, Yu Chuan, standing on a swing in the garden, noticed a little girl all alone.
My heart is throbbing slightly.
It seems that the girl has become less cheerful since I rejected her.
“Xi’er”.
Tong Xi swayed on the swing, looking up at the pitch-black sky.
There were no stars, no light, just like her current mood.
"Brother Yu Chuan, I'm going abroad after the New Year."
Yu Chuan stood behind her, supporting the frame: "Your fifth brother told me."
Will you attend my engagement party before leaving?
Tong Xi turned around and smiled, "Probably."
Yu Chuan was pulled away by Si Bing to drink the second half of the game, while Tong Xi went upstairs to take a shower. When she came down, Si Bing called her back.
"Nao Nao, take your brother Yu Chuan home."
Si Bing's eyes were tinged with intoxication, yet she still remembered the arduous task her sister had entrusted to her.
Si Shen held He Yanxun close, watching the two exchange glances, but didn't expose them.
Yu Chuan stood up: "No need, I'll call a designated driver."
Tong Xi went downstairs and took the car keys from the cabinet in the entryway.
Si Shen knew that the little girl was probably still unwilling to give up, but oh well, she was the child he had spoiled since childhood.
"Let Xi'er take you there."
Yu Chuan glanced at the little girl's retreating figure, said goodbye, and left.
Tong Xi deliberately slowed down, her palms sweating as she gripped the steering wheel.
Yu Chuan chuckled: "Xi'er, don't be afraid. Your fifth brother's cars are all modified and have very high safety performance."
Tong Xi pursed her lips and asked softly, "Do you like her?"
"who?"
"Your fiancée."
Yu Chuan lowered the car window, a gentle breeze brushed his cheeks, and the alcohol was starting to take effect.
Whether I like it or not, whether I love it or not, is not something I should consider.
"Xi'er, you should find a boyfriend your own age, have a relationship, and experience the wonderful things that dating brings."
You deserve better, not...
"Then tell me what's better?"
The car suddenly pulled over to the side of the road, and Tong Xi unbuckled her seatbelt: "No matter how good it is, it's not what I want."
Tong Xi got off the bus and went into a pharmacy to buy something to help with her hangover.
They started the car again and remained silent for the distance to Yu Chuan's apartment where he lived alone.
Tong Xi parked the car, picked up her things, and said, "I'll make you some hangover soup and then we'll go."
When Yu Chuan got out of the car, Tong Xi had already entered the elevator.
In the living room, Yu Chuan looked at the figure standing in the kitchen, somewhat dazed.
Xi'er.
Someone as awful as me isn't right for you.
Tongxi is pure; even her love is so innocent.
He was filthy, inside and out.
It's completely rotten.
Family of origin, betrayal by first love, and various other factors...
All of this destined him to be unable to give Tong Xi the love she wanted.
Tong Xi handed him a bowl of hangover soup at the perfect temperature: "Drink up, it's from the pharmacy, very clean."
Yu Chuan chuckled, took the drink, and finished it in one gulp.
"I didn't doubt you."
Tong Xi suddenly loosened her clenched fist and revealed a smile.
I'm sorry, Brother Yu Chuan.
Tong Xi squatted down in front of Yu Chuan and looked up at him.
"Brother Yu Chuan, may I make a request while you are still single?"
In her eyes, Yu Chuan was not dating anyone and was not engaged.
They are both single.
"The secondary couple will be featured in a chapter. It's short, but it's really sweet. You have to stick with them until the end. The person who loves you will always break their own rules for you."
