Chapter 5 Conversation

The main villa of the He family has five floors and is equipped with an elevator. He Yichuan was born in the military and is used to walking, so he doesn't use the elevator often.

Su Xi is visiting He Yichuan's room here. The overall layout is simple and generous.

There is a set of black and white exhibition cabinets at the entrance of the room. Each cabinet has a customized grid, some large and some small. There are many exquisite and realistic models inside, including guns, cannons, etc.

"Want to take it out and have a look?" A clear and deep voice came from behind her.

As soon as He Yichuan came up, he saw Su Xi bending over and staring at the gun in front of him.

Without waiting for her reply, she tapped the display screen on the right side of the cabinet with her slender fingertips, entered the password, and the cabinet door popped open. Then she took out a pistol and handed it to her.

Su Xi took the gun in her hand and touched the edges of the pistol. It was an early single-action pistol that required one hand to draw the gun and the other hand to shoot. It is now rare on the market.

When she held the handle of the gun, her momentum also changed. Her eyebrows exuded confidence and calmness, and she exuded a unique style, which made the man's eyes deepen.

Her fingers moved flexibly, and her white fingertips moved up and down on the trigger. It was a beautiful gun. After a long while, she put the pistol back and raised her eyebrows and commented: "It's very realistic."

"This pistol has been with me for a long time. It was given by my father on my birthday one year ago." He Yichuan's dark eyes followed her hand movements and turned left and right, his eyes full of memories.

"Are all these?"

Su Xi drew an arc with her finger pointing to the exhibition cabinet, and asked him doubtfully with bright eyes.

"No, some of them are found by myself."

She lowered her eyes to hide her emotions and nodded. They are not from the same world. What a happy and perfect family, Su Xi couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

"Go to bed and have some rest. You didn't sleep well last night."

The man saw that she looked a little haggard, with some dark circles under her eyes. Although it was not particularly obvious, her fair and delicate skin showed some signs of tiredness.

She suddenly raised her eyelids, looked at the man beside her, and replied softly, "Is it convenient? We can arrange a guest room."

The man didn't say anything, just stared at her.

The two of them were close to each other, staring at each other, and they recalled the chaotic scene of last night in their minds. Now it seemed that there was no point in being pretentious. The embarrassing mood surrounded them. Su Xi was the first to look away and replied, "Okay."

When Su Xi woke up, the man was no longer in the room.

There was no dressing table in He Yichuan's room. She turned over and got out of bed, walked into the bathroom, and looked in the mirror to tidy up her appearance.

Last night's experience made her think for half the night and she didn't get a good rest. Now she slept for two hours and felt much more energetic.

Su Xi smiled at the mirror, her thin lips slightly parted, her bright and beautiful eyes moving, her skin white, smooth and delicate.

Not only He Yichuan, but she was also different from her previous life. She was more childish and her expression didn't have the coldness of having seen thousands of sails.

She saw herself in the mirror dressed neatly, so she turned around and left the room and walked downstairs.

Downstairs, He Shaoping and Madam He were not there. Old Master He was sitting alone on a chair reading a book. Su Xi called out, "Grandpa He."

Old Master He had no opinion of Su Xi. He thought she was a smart and resilient woman. Compared with the ladies in the capital, she was more capable of supporting the future mistress of the He family. Unfortunately, her family background was not good enough.

Old Master He responded and then asked her to sit in front of him. The servant beside him immediately came forward to pour tea.

"Xiaoxi, long time no see."

When she was young and abroad, she happened to save He Shaoping who was in trouble. When she first arrived in China, as a key focus, Su Xi often contacted them.

Later, she was seriously injured in an operation. In order to avoid external forces, she had to provide a lot of information in exchange for help. After He Shaoping knew about it, he thought of their old friendship and took her as his subordinate.

He Shaoping knew more about her situation. When she proposed divorce in the previous life, He Shaoping also reminded her again and again, but at that time, the older generation of the He family was fighting against each other, fighting for power and profit, and faced difficulties, and had no time to care about her. In addition, Su Xi also offended too many forces because of some things. Knowing that her end was ready, in order not to affect them, she quickly processed the divorce.

Hearing Mr. He's gentle greetings, Su Xi was filled with emotion. After going around in circles, he came back to his senses. The sorrow in his heart was tangled in thousands of ways, and finally condensed into one sentence: "Yes, it's been a long time."

"How have you been getting along with Xiaochuan in the past six months?"

"Mr. He is a very good person." As if he felt that what he said was too short and insincere, Su Xi added, "A very good person."

"Now that you have obtained the marriage certificate, what are your plans for the future?"

Hearing this, Su Xi was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to respond, so he had to pick up the teacup and sip the tea.

"Originally I am not allowed to talk to you about this, but now that we meet, let's talk about it. I know you and Xiaochuan have an agreement, but since you are married, you should get along well and keep going. Xiaochuan has a strong personality, and other people may not be suitable for him. You should be rational and tolerate each other. If you really can't get along, we can talk about it later."

Mr. He's words sounded like the friendly chatter of an elder. Su Xi, who had been struggling all the way on her own, was stunned for a moment, with mixed feelings in her heart. "Well, we will think about it carefully."

The glass door on the side of the front hall was pushed open from the outside to the inside, making a "creaking" sound, interrupting their conversation.

Mrs. He was wearing slender high heels, her figure was swaying, and the hem of her cheongsam was swaying from side to side, which was very beautiful.

She looked up at the living room and saw Su Xi downstairs. She called out enthusiastically, "Xiao Xi, come here. The master just sent a batch of new clothes. Come and help me pick them out."

She responded and said hello to Mr. He before walking over.

The servants on the side displayed the newly arrived clothes in rows. Mrs. He held one of the red off-shoulder tight skirts with golden embroidery, which was sexy yet generous. "Xiao Xi, take a look at this skirt. Is it pretty?"

"It's very nice. The embroidery on it is very delicate." Su Xi reached out to touch the surface of the long skirt and commented.

"I asked a master to make this for you. Try it on first to see if it fits you. If it doesn't, ask them to make changes."

"Auntie, are you going to wear it for me?" Su Xi asked in surprise.

Mrs. He responded gently, and then said softly, "I was going to send it to you in Yulong Bay, because it will be Dad's 80th birthday in a week, and there will be many people at the birthday banquet. I was worried that you wouldn't be able to find a suitable dress at the last minute, so I sent someone to make it for you."
