"Taking care of you is my duty, and you're telling me it's a hassle?"
When she needed him most, he couldn't find her, he couldn't be with her. How helpless she must have felt then?
"I was just being polite! I'm a little sleepy."
Jiang Xuening yawned, her mouth twitching.
"Okay, then you go to sleep first."
Yan Yuze adjusted the height of the bed for her, positioned her injured leg, covered her with a blanket, and sat beside her on the bed.
"Shaochuan, you don't need to pick me up tonight. I'm staying with Ningning at the hospital."
After sending the message, Yan Yuze put his phone aside and quietly looked at Jiang Xuening.
Jue Wei Braised Pot
"Brother Shaochuan, I'm done eating."
An Xinyue picked up a tissue and gently wiped her mouth, her manners very elegant.
"Yes, I've finished eating too. Shall I take you home?"
Li Shaochuan wanted to see her off, but he really wanted to spend more time with her, so he asked her questions softly and gently.
I wonder if it's because... Li Mufei always used to have him take An Xinyue home, so he got used to it?
"Um...no need, because I'm not planning to go home yet. I'm a bit full, I want to walk around to digest."
An Xinyue looked somewhat uncomfortable, and unconsciously rubbed her stomach.
She actually still wanted what Li Shaochuan gave her, but she was really too full... and felt terrible. Maybe a walk would help.
"Yeah, I'm stuffed too. Shall we take a walk together? And then I'll take you home?"
Is it really safe for a girl to be walking alone outside late at night?
He should stay with her!
"Okay, then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Shaochuan."
She was initially surprised, then secretly delighted.
"Let's go."
Li Shaochuan took out his phone, scanned the QR code on the table, and paid the bill.
The two left the restaurant one after the other.
The two didn't like crowded places, and as they walked, they ended up on a pedestrian overpass.
An Xinyue felt uneasy and nervous, as she had never spent so much time alone with Li Shaochuan before.
Suddenly, Li Shaochuan stopped, clasped his hands together, rested them on the railing, and looked down at the pedestrians and traffic below.
"Yueyue, can I ask you a question?"
Li Shaochuan hesitated for a long time before finally deciding to ask.
"Hmm? What's the problem?"
An Xinyue tucked the strands of hair that had been blown by the wind behind her ears, leaned against the railing, and looked at Li Shaochuan expectantly with her face turned to the side.
What questions will Brother Shaochuan ask her?
"Well... if a man likes a girl, but because he's much older than her, he's too afraid to confess his feelings, do you think the girl would accept him? Of course, the man I'm talking about is pretty good. What would you think if you were in his shoes?"
Li Shaochuan rambled on incoherently, unsure if he had hit the nail on the head. Would An Xinyue even understand him?
"Hmm... I don't think age is a problem, as long as the difference isn't too outrageous, it's acceptable."
Is the man Shao Chuan is talking about himself? Does he have someone he likes?
Does that mean the person he likes is much younger than him? So she has no hope?
She suddenly felt a tightness in her chest.
"However... this only represents my personal opinion, not everyone's."
Well... at least that's what she thinks.
"That's enough..."
Li Shaochuan muttered to himself, his voice so soft that only he could hear it.
"Brother Shaochuan, what did you say?"
She didn't hear what Li Shaochuan had just said.
"It's nothing, Yueyue, thank you for your answer."
Li Shaochuan smiled happily, his face showing more confidence.
Seeing Li Shaochuan so excited, An Xinyue assumed he really had someone he liked, and her heart felt even tighter...
Should she take the plunge and confess her feelings to him?
If they get rejected, it'll be so awkward for them to run into each other all the time...
Moreover, since he was rejected, Shao Chuan will definitely keep his distance from her. Even if Fei Fei asks him to take her home, he probably won't be willing.
Forget it, she'll keep this feeling in her heart. Even though she can't get very close to him, at least she's not too far away!
"hehe……"
An Xinyue smiled awkwardly.
"Are you feeling any better now? You don't feel so full anymore, right?"
Li Shaochuan was worried that she might feel unwell. She had just eaten and was going out for a walk. Would she have a stomachache?
Fortunately, they walked very slowly, stopping frequently.
"Much better."
Shao Chuan is concerned about her! However, this is just normal concern, not love at all.
"Shall I take you home? It's getting late."
A slight breeze brought a cool breeze. Li Shaochuan wasn't wearing a coat, so he didn't have any clothes for An Xinyue to wear.
Worried that she would catch a cold, he offered to take her home; otherwise, he really wanted to stay with her a little longer!
"good."
An Xinyue responded softly, not daring to look at him, and the two of them walked towards the parking lot, each lost in their own thoughts.
Li Family Villa
The private jet slowly landed at the private airport of the Li family villa.
A seven-seater minivan was already waiting below.
The cabin door opened, and Yan Xiluo and Yan Yinran disembarked one after the other.
Upon seeing the two emerge, Li Shangjue and the Li family's butler quickly got out of the car.
"uncle."
Yan Xiluo and Yan Yinran greeted each other together.
"Luo Luo, Ran Ran".
Li Shangjue called softly, a gentle smile on his face.
"Uncle, we have a lot of luggage..."
Yan Yinran got straight to the point, after all, they couldn't take that much at once.
"It's alright, I'll go get it with the housekeeper. You and Luo Luo can get in the car and wait for me."
Li Shangjue looked at the two of them tenderly. Even if they didn't say anything, he could guess that Li Shuwen always brought home a bunch of gifts.
"Thank you, Uncle."
"Uncle, you've worked hard."
Yan Xiluo and Yan Yinran got into the car first.
Upon seeing the luggage, Li Shangjue was completely petrified. He felt that his sister was becoming more and more insane!
Several large boxes, plus some scattered gift boxes.
Li Shangjue and his butler put everything in the car, but the trunk wasn't big enough, so they stuffed the rest into the seats.
"Why did your mom bring back so many gifts? That's excessive!"
Li Shangjue expressed his incomprehension, saying that with convenient transportation and private jets available now, Li Shuwen could go home anytime.
This makes it seem like you haven't been back to your parents' home for years?
"Ahem... Uncle, those three big boxes are mine. I prepared additional gifts for you. But the gift boxes take up too much space."
Yan Xiluo felt a little embarrassed... It looked like a lot, but when she took it out, there really wasn't much.
She was genuinely afraid that the jewelry inside might get scratched or damaged if she didn't put it in a gift box.
"Luo Luo, this is practically your home. You don't need to prepare gifts for us every time you come back. It's too formal!"
Li Shangjue's doting gaze and tone were just like when he spoke to Li Mufei.
He felt genuinely close to this niece, a feeling he hadn't had for Yan Yinran before, but he was still very kind to her.
