Chapter 59 Walking by the River
Su Xi’s fingertips slid over, and she calmed down and said, “Hello?”
“Are you in the company? I’ll pick you up after work and have dinner together.”
He Yichuan had been in the company for a day, and when he was about to get off work, he thought of the person he had tortured last night, and planned to pick her up for dinner.
“I’m having dinner with friends outside.” Su Xi replied, so that he didn’t have to go to Jingjiang to pick her up.
“Where? Are you ready to finish?” The voice on the other end of the phone said in a deep voice.
After hearing this, Su Xi subconsciously gave an address, and then her eyebrows were stunned for a moment, and asked with confusion: “Almost, it’s time to get off work? You want to come over?”
Seeing him asking, she immediately understood what he meant, and asked again uncertainly.
"Well, we'll leave now and arrive in about half an hour."
The man picked up his suit jacket, put it on neatly, and walked out of the office with long legs.
The secretarial department was also a little surprised to see He Yichuan leave work half an hour early. They talked about him from time to time, trying to guess his situation.
"Secretary Zeng, why did Mr. He suddenly leave work so early?"
A little secretary blinked slightly and leaned over to gossip.
Secretary Zeng glanced at her, and said with a bad look and unclear expression: "Go ask Mr. He." After that, he lowered his head and tapped the keyboard hard, his red nails tapping quickly.
The little secretary pursed her lips and said no more.
Su Xi put away her phone and explained to Yuan Zhiqian: "Zhiqian, my husband will come over later, do you mind?"
Yuan Zhiqian raised his eyes slightly, took a sip of the wine glass, and said with a smile: "No problem, it's a good opportunity to get to know your husband and find out who can win you over."
Hearing his teasing, Su Xi's mind appeared the figure of the man, and her eyes were filled with tenderness: "A very good person."
Yuan Zhiqian was surprised. It was rare to see her speak so highly of a person. From the changes in her face, it seemed that she was really doing well recently as she said.
She felt a little relieved in her heart. No matter what the ending was, at least she had been happy.
Half an hour later, the cell phone rang again. She saw the familiar number on the screen, interrupted her conversation with Yuan Zhiqian, and picked up the phone: "Are you there? In Box 8 on the second floor, come directly."
"My husband is here." Su Xi explained softly to Yuan Zhiqian after hanging up the phone.
A few minutes later, there was a sound at the door.
With a "ding dong" sound, the door of the box slowly opened, and the handsome face of the man appeared in front of the door. He was wearing
a white shirt under a black suit jacket, with an upright posture, eyebrows standing up like a blade, a delicate and three-dimensional nose bridge, and thin lips. The whole person exuded a majestic aura, giving people a sense of danger.
He walked in with his long legs, his eyes fixed on the woman in the box.
The man arrived, and the space suddenly became quiet.
"Zhiqian, this is my husband He Yichuan." Su Xi looked into his eyes, stood up and approached him, introducing him to her friend opposite.
Then she raised her head and glanced at the man, "This is my long-time friend, Yuan Zhiqian."
Yuan Zhiqian was shocked after hearing her introduction. He didn't expect that Su Xi's husband was actually the eldest son of the He family in China. He immediately stood up and shook hands with him, respectfully saying, "Young Master He, I have heard of your great name for a long time. I am Yuan Zhiqian, Sini's good friend."
"Hello, Mr. Yuan."
The man's pursed thin lips slightly curved, and he nodded slightly to the man opposite with deep eyes.
"Sit down and talk."
Su Xi hooked her big hand with his and pulled him to sit beside her. She raised her eyes and glanced at him, asking softly, "You haven't eaten yet, I'll ask the waiter to bring you some dishes and chopsticks."
He hummed deeply, picked up Su Xi's wine glass with his big hand, and raised his hand to the man opposite: "Mr. Yuan, I'm sorry to disturb you reminiscing."
Yuan Zhiqian immediately raised his glass respectfully in return, "I didn't expect Sini's husband to be you. It's my honor that the young master can come here."
No wonder Su Xi can live a stable life in China. It turns out that the young master of the He family is behind her. Her worried mood is gradually soothed.
"Zhi Qian is good at computers and helped me a lot before. We haven't had time to meet since then. It just so happens that we have time today so we can get together."
Su Xi spoke after they finished their drinks, and then whispered in the man's ear, explaining that he helped in handling the Chinese medicine incident.
After listening, his eyes fell on Su Xi, his stern face softened, his cold eyes were filled with sincerity, he picked up the wine glass and pointed it towards the opposite side again, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Yuan, I'm sorry for your help before, and you can tell me He if you have anything in the future."
Yuan Zhiqian touched his lips with him lightly, feeling a little touched: "It's okay, Su Xi and I have known each other for a long time, it's rare that she asked me to help a little, less than a few minutes. But Mr. He, I'll trouble you to take good care of her in the future."
"Of course, when we choose a good day, I'll invite you to the wedding." He Yichuan's voice was low, and his handsome face was full of determination.
Su Xi was a little shocked. It was the first time she heard him talk about the banquet. She didn't expect that he had arranged it, and her eyes were deep. After
a few people had a few drinks, around seven in the evening, Yuan Zhiqian proposed to leave.
After he left, Su Xi sniffed the smell of alcohol on her body and suggested, "Shall we go out for a walk?"
"Okay."
After the man finished drinking, the buttons on his collar were slightly unbuttoned, with a sense of abstinence.
He pulled his coat, took her hand and walked out.
The two of them walked along the perimeter of the mall, strolled along the street, and slowly came to the riverside. The bodyguard was ten meters away from them, giving them enough freedom.
"Are you cold?"
Su Xi sobered up a lot after being blown by the wind by the river. She held the man's big hand. He was only wearing a coat of the same style over his black suit. She raised her eyelashes and looked at him, asking.
"I'm not cold, are you?"
He was full of energy, and he put his warm hands on her face, stroking it gently, trying to check her temperature.
"No, I'm wearing more than you." Her coat was thicker than a man's, and it was more warm.
"Did you meet that friend today in China or in Country M?" He Yichuan asked in a deep voice, holding her hand. The lights on the riverside illuminated the figures of the two people, shining against each other.
He didn't know much about her either. His father told him very little, and he just skimmed through it. He only knew that she was an orphan, wandered among the major factions in Country M, and occasionally passed through China to carry out some missions.
Hearing his question, Su Xi's thoughts turned around, and his memory floated back to a long time ago. His tone was calm and his voice was not fluctuating: "Country M, I met him by accident, and then I kept in touch with him from time to time."
At that time, in order to resist the siege of certain people, she was wounded and fought alone, and when she was at a loss, she robbed Yuan Zhiqian's car.
He happened to be on a business trip in Country M. After encountering this incident, he was also very scared and tried to take back the steering wheel, but unfortunately her gleaming gun was pointed at his forehead, and there was a group of desperate people behind him, forcing him to surrender.
