Chapter 21 Past Dangers
The two sat quietly in the courtyard.
In front of them was a tea table with a wooden chess set on it. The father and son exuded a stern aura of superiors, and their every move was impressive.
The chessboard was full of swords and sabers. He Shaoping saw He Yichuan approaching with his sharp peripheral vision, and stopped moving the chess piece. "Are you back from your business trip? When did you come back?"
After He Yichuan called out to the person, he crossed his legs and sat casually on a chair beside him. He exuded majesty and nobility, and his posture was compelling. His deep and magnetic voice echoed in the courtyard: "I came back last night."
"What about Xiaoxi? Are you the only one who went home?" He Shaoping looked at He Yichuan with scrutiny and asked in an exploratory manner. He Yichuan was the only one who came, and there was no sign of Su Xi. Young people have changeable emotions, and the relationship that has just been eased will not break up again.
Hearing this, Master He also stopped what he was doing. His wrinkled eyes sank, and with a bit of majesty in them, his gaze stayed on the man.
"She's back too, accompanying Mom in the lobby."
As soon as the voice fell, He Shaoping's slightly gloomy expression relaxed a little, and he nodded approvingly, "That's good, you should remind her more tonight, and she will just show up tomorrow, so she doesn't need to be nervous." After a pause, he said, "But this is just a small scene for her, so she doesn't need to think too much about it."
Hearing this, He Yichuan's face was calm and thoughtful. He hadn't seen Su Xi nervous in the past six months. She was usually calm and composed, and it was rare to see her with any emotions, except that night.
Thinking of her that night, with her soft and smooth skin, charming face, and soft and pleasant voice, his Adam's apple could not help but move slightly, his eyes changed slightly, and even the cold wind could not blow away the irritability on him.
"Yeah, I see." After a long while, he replied to He's father.
"What has the old fox Pan Jingchang been doing recently? How come he suddenly gave up the territory that was so hotly fought for some time ago?"
He Shaoping continued to play chess with He Laoyezi. The chessboard was tit-for-tat and extremely tense, but the two of them had calm faces and extremely calm voices, without the slightest emotional ups and downs.
"Having an infatuated dream, wanting to take the relationship to the next level." He Yichuan's tone was casual, but it was also filled with a magnetic intimidation, low and deep.
"Well, it's good that you know. Pan Xiaowen came to our house right after she came back. Maybe Pan Jingchang was behind her. You should also pay more attention to the ups and downs in the circle in recent years." He Shaoping's voice was cold and sharp. After a pause, he continued: "Pan Xiaowen has a delicate personality and is not suitable for you. Xiaoxi and I have been in contact for many years. She is calm and generous in her work and has a strong character. The strong attract each other. You will be attracted to each other sooner or later. Treat her better. It's really not easy for this child to come this far."
"Well."
He Yichuan responded.
Old Master He glanced at him. As an experienced person, he could see that the relationship between the two people had progressed, but the emotions were not necessarily deep. The wrinkles on his face showed some worry.
So, he couldn't help but speak in a slow and hoarse voice. He was always dignified but very patient towards his outstanding grandson: "Do you know why your father and I proposed that Xiaoxi marry you and bring her into the He family?"
He Shaoping looked at Old Man He, looked at him with a puzzled look, and remained silent.
After Mr. He nodded his chin lightly, he took over the conversation and said in a deep voice: "About ten years ago, I was hunted down by local secret forces in Country M for some reasons. The people around me had long been eliminated, and I was seriously injured in many places. I thought that was the end. When my life was hanging by a thread, Su Xi showed up. She had offended many people in Country M in order to make a living, and she was in danger. After knowing that I was Chinese and had a certain status, she tried many times and gritted her teeth to rescue me from that whirlpool."
He Shaoping's words were brief, and he described the situation at that time in just a few sentences.
He Yichuan frowned, and unconsciously stopped the movement of his legs being crossed. He clenched his fists slightly, and looked at his father with a look of worry in his eyes.
He Shaoping finished his recollection and spoke heavily, "She is completely different now than she was before. She was only about ten years old then, with short hair, thin and small, and looked malnourished. Her eyes were always cruel and sharp. I clearly remember that when she took me out of there and carried me to a safe place and was about to let me go, she wanted to speak to me or ask for help, but she just looked at me deeply and left." Hearing this
, the expression on He Yichuan's face became a little solemn. He knew that there was some bond between her and her father, but he had never thought that she would have such a thrilling experience. His thin lips gradually straightened.
"Later, after I escaped from danger, I sent people to look for her many times, and the news I got was that she was killed by those people. I thought I would never be able to repay her for this favor in this lifetime, but one day she showed up in China." Speaking of this, He Shaoping couldn't help but sigh, feeling a little heavy: "I thought she would ask us for help out of kindness, but she didn't, and even saw me. There was no trace of emotion in her eyes at that time, as if she had accepted her fate and looked lightly on life and death. Later, I asked her how she escaped after saving me. She just said calmly that she was caught and tortured and thought she was dead, but she survived. "
Grandpa He's old hand picked up the hot tea beside him, took a sip, and said: "If there was no Su Xi, there might be no father. , your mother doesn't know about this either, I'm afraid she will worry. I haven't told you this because I don't want you to feel guilty towards Su Xi. It's your father who owes the debt, he will pay it back. We've thought about letting you get married after careful consideration. I just think she's right for you and can take care of the future of the He family. As for your feelings, it's up to you. Xiaochuan, Grandpa is telling you this, if one day you feel that you don't want to be with me, It's appropriate. You should have a good discussion with Su Xi. She has walked on thin ice all her life. With her personality, she will definitely respect your ideas and live well without any burden. "
After dinner, He Yichuan sat quietly on the chair on the balcony of the bedroom for a long time, his eyes dark as water. He himself could be in danger of his life, but his relatives could not. His relatives were his only shield, and no one could move! The He
family has been passed down from generation to generation, and even more prosperous than the previous generation. There will be many dangers in the middle, but they have all been resolved one by one.
He Yichuan was brought up by his father. He has learned from his father's countless dangers since he was a child. However, his father and grandfather chose to keep it secret at the same time. It is conceivable that the situation at that time was extremely dangerous.
As he thought of this, his eyes suddenly became sharp and his aura became even more scorching.
