Hearing the woman ask him that, He Zicheng gave her a strange look. "Didn't you say you were beautiful?"
Yu Keke glared at him, puffing out her cheeks like a little hamster, "Just because I say it's beautiful, does that mean I want it?"
He Zicheng frowned repeatedly. "My mom says whatever she likes is pretty, and then my dad buys her everything, and she's extremely happy."
Yu Keke nearly coughed up blood, rolled her eyes, and said, "Let's go, let's go, I don't want to talk to you anymore, I've already bought it anyway."
He Zicheng nodded and handed her the packaged ring. Yu Keke carefully accepted it, her expression unusually solemn.
He looks like a servant of the ring.
He Zicheng didn't say anything and took her out with him.
Inside the car, Dou Shiliu put on the ring. Shi Xuan glanced at it a few times and asked, "Wife, when should we have our wedding banquet?"
"Anything is fine with me," Dou Shiliu blinked, "as long as you're free."
The two discussed it and decided to set it for May 20th of the following year, the meaning of which is simply "I love you".
In the days that followed, towards the end of the year, Shi Xuan's friends arranged for everyone to meet in Paris.
After getting off the plane, I felt that the weather here was better than in Kyoto; it was sunny and bright.
"Did you all see Shi Xuan?"
Beside an expensive sports car, a man looked up at the scorching sky and frowned slightly.
"No, but he brought his wife with him. Have you prepared a gift yet?"
The man inside the car spoke softly, the phone in his hand playing game music.
"Of course I'm prepared, but can you fucking get off the bus and stop playing your stupid game?"
Yan Jun made a few noises outside, then looked at Shao Yi in the car and began to complain.
"Are you as stupid as me, sunbathing outside?" Shao Yi raised a handsome eyebrow.
severe:"……"
When Shi Xuan and the others arrived, they saw Yan Jun muttering something to himself by the car. He and Dou Shiliu exchanged a glance.
Shi Xuan put the suitcase aside and went up to him, patting him on the shoulder.
"severe"
A familiar voice, carrying a strange feeling, brushed past Yan Jun's ears.
Shao Yi stepped down from the other side and casually greeted Shi Xuan, "Long time no see, boss."
Shi Xuan exchanged a glance with the two of them, holding Dou Shiliu's hand, and looked at them with deep eyes: "My girlfriend."
Yan Jun looked her over carefully, his eyes darting around a few times: "Sister-in-law is really beautiful."
Dou Shiliu smiled and nodded, "Thank you."
...
"Is your meeting so interesting?" Yan Jun asked, holding a wine glass at the dinner table, his tone slightly surprised. Shao Yi, sitting next to him, calmly pulled him down to sit.
"Sit down and let's talk."
Yan Jun listened to Dou Shiliu's nonchalant description and couldn't help but admire him. He knew that prison was not an easy place to stay.
As Dou Shiliu spoke, Shi Xuan listened. He had never asked her about these things, but because he had informants, he knew almost everything she did.
"So, I've finished talking. What about Shi Xuan?" Dou Shiliu's eyes shifted slightly, landing on Shi Xuan to the side. What had he been doing for the past three years?
Yan Jun and Shao Yi exchanged bewildered glances, surprised that Dou Shiliu would inquire about Shi Xuan's itinerary.
Shi Xuan hadn't expected the woman to ask him this question. His expression remained unchanged. "Deal with the Shi family, so I can bring you home and let you live a proper life."
Shi Xuan's eyes were filled with affection. Dou Shiliu stroked his tousled hair with satisfaction. The man frowned slightly, but did not stop her.
severe:"……"
He couldn't help but shudder; he was surprised by how cheesy his brother's words were.
The meal was alright, but Dou Shiliu felt it was unusually bland; Shi Xuan, Yan Jun, and Shao Yi were all unusually calm.
Once in the car back to the hotel, Dou Shiliu turned to Shi Xuan and asked why it was so quiet.
Shi Xuan silently raised her eyes, her gaze revealing that she was looking at someone else. "Xiao Yi, he's been gone for two months."
Xiao Yi, Yan Jun, Shao Yi, Shi Xuan
The four of them were best friends, but he suddenly passed away two months ago, catching all the brothers off guard.
They were so busy that they arrived at Xiao Yi's funeral a few days late, and some of the brothers didn't even get to see him one last time.
This became a regret for all three of them.
Xiao Yi, who was still making plans to visit his sister-in-law's house two years ago, suddenly passed away at the end of the year.
Dou Shiliu felt a slight unease as he listened to Shi Xuan's calm words. Shi Xuan showed no emotion, as if it were just a trivial matter.
But Dou Shiliu knew that he had been looking forward to this reunion, but...
She gripped the man's hand tightly and forced a smile: "I'm here too."
Shi Xuan looked at her; the woman's eyes were filled with him.
...
Yan Jun and his friends spent a few weeks in Paris with Shi Xuan, but due to personal matters, they now need to return home.
As he boarded the plane for his return journey, Shi Xuan gazed out the window at the cotton-like clouds, lost in thought.
"Do you think I'll be able to fly in the future?" Xiao Yi smiled and pointed to the sky in his memory. He was from the slums, but an accident led him to form a life-or-death friendship with Yan Jun and his group of rich second-generation kids.
Shi Xuan couldn't remember what he said back then; his memory was hazy, lingering only on Xiao Yi's handsome smile.
After the plane landed in Kyoto, Shi Xuan returned to the company and began all his work. Once he finished his work here, he would return to the Paris headquarters.
Dou Shiliu assisted him from the side.
"The project we collaborated on with the Temple Group last time requires the president's signature," Secretary Kim said, bringing out the documents. The amount of money involved wasn't huge, but he still wanted Shi Xuan to review them.
Shi Xuan raised his eyes to look at it, then dipped his pen in ink and signed his agreement.
Dou Shiliu watched as Secretary Jin took the documents and went down to the operations department, her eyes fixed on the man working diligently.
She is indeed exceptionally charming.
However, Xiao Yi's death had some impact on them. Dou Shiliu asked the system, "How did Xiao Yi die?"
System: Died of illness
Dou Shiliu: "?", How is that possible?
System: Cirrhosis
Okay, Dou Shiliu, who has studied medicine, will shut up and stop talking. Cirrhosis can be caused by many things, so it's hard to say.
Liver cirrhosis can also be life-threatening if you drink too much alcohol.
Shi Xuan frowned as he looked at the piles of documents. He suddenly felt a heavy weight on his shoulders. He looked up and Dou Shiliu massaged his shoulders.
"Don't always keep your head down, move around more."
Dou Shiliu used appropriate force to relax Shi Xuan's neck muscles. Shi Xuan's brows furrowed with fatigue, and he relaxed involuntarily when he felt the pressure on his shoulders.
Thank you, honey.
Shi Xuan smiled faintly, his mental fatigue vanishing the moment Dou Shiliu came up.
