"Who on earth is this little girl? Mr. Xie thinks too highly of her, doesn't he?"
"Ah, the position that so many people are vying for is given to this little girl so easily."
Just as Xie Yushan was about to ask what Song Shishi was holding in her hand, the whispers outside the ward came in.
He raised his eyes to look at Xie Youan, waved his hand at him and said, "Go, close the door."
"good."
Xie Youan responded and walked quickly to the door of the ward with a faint smile on his face, polite yet distant.
"Thank you all for your concern for my dad. He just woke up and is still very weak. He needs to rest well. If there is anything, please wait until he has recovered."
Things have come to this point, and it's not appropriate for everyone to stay any longer.
"Okay then, we'll leave first. When Mr. Xie gets better, we'll visit him again."
...
...
Xie Youan just smiled and watched them leave without any further response.
In this situation, he really didn't know what to say.
After watching everyone else turn around and leave, Xie Youan closed the ward door and stood beside Xie Yushan's bed again.
"What's that in your hand?"
Song Shishi then remembered that she was here to deliver a wedding invitation.
While saying this, he actually forgot about this matter.
"This is a wedding invitation. I went to see you yesterday and planned to give you this."
Song Shishi said as she handed over the wedding invitation.
"Wedding invitation?"
Xie Yushan repeated it in his mouth, but his eyes glanced at Xie Youan intentionally or unintentionally.
"Yes, the date is set for next Saturday."
"That would be a double blessing. Youan and I will definitely go to congratulate you then."
Xie Yushan's face was filled with smiles, and he sincerely wished Song Shishi the best.
Although Song Shishi has no chance to be his daughter-in-law, she is now his apprentice, which can be considered another kind of fate.
Xie Yushan suddenly thought of Song Zhenhua.
Ultimately, his old friend took the wrong path, ruined his own future, and brought suffering to his family.
He sighed in his heart.
Song Shishi's father was not present when she got married, so as her master, he naturally had to show up.
No matter how the boy from the Meng family treats Song Shishi, he must support her as Song Shishi's in-laws.
"Master, you should rest more. I will come to see you another day."
After all, Xie Yushan had just woken up not long ago, and such mental and physical strain would not be good for his physical recovery.
So Song Shishi stood up and said goodbye.
Without waiting for Xie Yushan to speak, Xie Youan, who had been silent the whole time, took the initiative to say, "I'll take you there."
Xie Yushan looked at his son again.
Now that they are about to get married, why is this guy still not giving up?
Xie Youan followed Song Shishi and sent her all the way to the hospital entrance.
Song Shishi stopped and turned to look at Xie Youan.
"No need to send me off. You should go back and take care of Master. I can go back to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs by myself."
Xie Youan stared at Song Shishi with deep eyes, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Seeing him like this, Song Shishi was not anxious and waited quietly for him to speak.
After a long while, Xie Youan seemed to finally muster up the courage.
"Are you really determined to marry him?"
"Um."
Song Shishi smiled and nodded, "He is very good, and he is very good to me too."
"Just because he's nice to you? I also..."
Xie Youan was unwilling to give in.
"Thank you, Chief!"
Song Shishi interrupted Xie Youan before he could finish his words.
"Xunzhou and I grew up together. The relationship between us is incomparable to others. I married him not only because he treats me well."
Perhaps she wanted Xie Youan to completely give up the idea of her. After thinking for a while, she added another sentence.
"In this life, if the groom is not him, I would rather never marry!"
"Do you love him so much? You must have him?"
Listening to Song Shishi's resolute words, Xie Youan felt a bone-chilling chill spreading from the bottom of his heart and instantly sweeping through his whole body.
The blow was so heavy that he could hardly stand.
But even so, in front of Song Shishi, he still held on, trying not to lose his composure.
"Yes, it has to be him!"
Song Shishi's eyes were firm, without the slightest wavering.
It was not until Song Shishi's back completely disappeared from his sight that Xie Youan slowly came back to his senses.
He was filled with bitterness. Before he could muster up the courage to express his feelings to her, she was about to become someone else's bride.
Xie Yushan looked at his son's depressed appearance and sighed in his heart. He knew his son's thoughts too well.
After Xie Youan sat down, Xie Yushan said slowly: "Youan, I plan to recognize her as my goddaughter at Shishi's wedding."
When Xie Youan heard this, he suddenly raised his head, his eyes full of disbelief.
He felt that he was desperate enough, but he didn't expect that his father's words would completely cut off his last hope.
"Dad, why?"
Xie Yushan said earnestly:
“Shishi saved my life twice. She is kind-hearted and ambitious.
Moreover, she already has someone in her heart and is about to get married.
I adopted her as my goddaughter, firstly to repay her for saving my life, and secondly, I also hope that you can let go of your feelings for her.
You are not a good match for her, so you should let it go and start over."
"Why can't I be a good match for her?"
Xie Youan's eyes were red, he was a little agitated, and he asked almost in a state of collapse.
Seeing how persistent he was, Xie Yushan gritted his teeth and said:
"How can you be considered a good match? Have you taken the initiative to try to be nice to her?
If they encounter any obstacle, they will stop moving forward.
For the sake of your useless face, you have been hesitating. Why should they choose you? "
Xie Youan's eyes dimmed, he lowered his head and remained silent for a long time.
After a while, he smiled bitterly and said, "I know. I won't bother her again."
Xie Yushan is not wrong. Why did Song Shishi choose him?
He did nothing for her.
Xie Yushan looked at his son and felt a little distressed, but he knew this was the best way.
He patted Xie Youan on the shoulder and said, "Kid, you will have a younger sister in the future. You are just treating her well in a different way. Think positively."
Xie Youan nodded. Although he still felt a little lost, he also understood that some feelings can only be buried deep in the heart.
…
The wedding day was very lively.
"Bang!"
Qiao Yanxin and Xu Li attended the wedding as Song Shishi's bridesmaids and were busy running around.
With so many people and so many things to do, it's inevitable that things will be a bit hectic and chaotic.
Someone passed by Qiao Yanxin, and she subconsciously stepped back.
It wasn't a big deal that he stepped back, but he accidentally knocked over the box full of wedding candies.
The colorful wedding candies instantly scattered all over the floor. She managed to keep her body steady with great difficulty, but she stepped on the candies and fell backwards uncontrollably.
If she fell down like this, the back of her head would definitely hit the steps.
Qiao Yanxin closed her eyes resigned to her fate.
But the expected pain did not come.
A pair of warm and powerful hands covered her waist and pulled her back.
Because he used too much force, the man made her spin in a circle before slowly stopping.
Qiao Yanxin slowly opened her eyes and looked up at the man in front of her.
"Are you okay?"
The man looked about ten years older than her and had the demeanor of a modest gentleman.
The man helped her stand steadily, then let go and took a step back, keeping a proper distance.
