......
With Lin Xiaohe's gaze fixed on her, Xu Mengyao felt her heartbeat irregular and her throat became a little dry.
"I, I don't understand..."
"I like you, want to pursue you, and have a long-term relationship with you. Your proposal is very good, but can you accept a romantic relationship with Partner?" Lin Xiaohe's voice was low and gentle, and he expressed his sincerity clearly with every word.
"You? Like me? Why?"
Xu Mengyao was obviously caught off guard by this sudden confession, and her eyes showed both surprise and confusion.
Lin Xiaohe smiled and asked, "You are smart, independent, opinionated, and kind-hearted. Why shouldn't I like a girl like this?" His smile was full of sincerity and appreciation.
"Well... you see, we've only gone out alone twice. The first time we encountered a snake, and the second time we encountered a terrorist attack and you were injured. Don't you think we are incompatible? Or maybe I'm unlucky for you." Xu Mengyao tried to ease the awkwardness with a joke.
Lin Xiaohe immediately replied seriously: "I never believe in these things."
This is unscientific. Aren't people in Hong Kong supposed to care about these things the most? Why doesn't it work for him?
"Uh... well, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. Let's talk another day."
Xu Mengyao picked up her bag, turned around and hurriedly left Lin Xiaohe's house.
Looking at her fleeing back, Lin Xiaohe gently pinched his eyebrows.
The first time I confessed my feelings to someone, I scared them away. I guess I should be more patient.
After returning home, Xu Mengyao curled up on the sofa and thought about nothing until Xiaomei pushed the door open and brought her back to reality.
"What's wrong? What are you thinking about? What's going on?" Xiaomei noticed her strangeness and asked curiously.
"Do you know what Evan said to me today? He actually said he liked me!" Xu Mengyao still doubts the authenticity of this matter.
Xiaomei was stunned for a moment, then revealed a meaningful smile.
"He finally told you."
"What do you mean? You all know?"
Xiaomei sat down and said casually, "Harish said that Evan rarely came to the office before, but since we joined the team, Evan has been coming here frequently. He must be interested in you."
"Ah, then why didn't you tell me?" Xu Mengyao opened her eyes wide in surprise.
"Harish just told me a few days ago and begged me not to tell you because he wanted to see how long Evan could hold it in. I didn't expect him to confess to you today. I have to inform Harish quickly." Xiaomei said excitedly as she prepared to get up to get her phone.
"Wait a minute!" Xu Mengyao hurriedly held Xiaomei's hand. "Aren't you curious about how I answered?"
Xiaomei shook her head and said confidently, "I know you too well. You never thought about it that way before. If he suddenly confessed to me, you definitely wouldn't agree. At least not now."
After hearing this, Xu Mengyao sighed and fell helplessly on the sofa.
"Oh, it would be nice if we could just be the third wheel. Now I'm embarrassed to see him. Don't invite me on your dates next time."
She planned to be an ostrich at home for a while and avoid any chance of the two meeting.
But Lin Xiaohe didn't give her time to worry. When he heard that something happened, he went straight back to Hong Kong City.
…
The recent news that Wenxia was admitted to R University made the Huang family immersed in joy.
"Second sister, I'm going to Beijing to study too! Can I go to City A to visit you during the holidays?" Wen Xia's voice was full of anticipation on the other end of the phone.
"Of course. Are you and Cheng Xin coming together? Did he also get admitted to R University?" Xu Mengyao asked with a smile, feeling happy for her sister.
"He didn't perform well this year and has to repeat the year." Wen Xia's tone was a little disappointed when he mentioned Cheng Xin, but he soon regained his energy. "But we agreed that he should work hard for another year, and I will wait for him at Renmin University next year."
"Okay, as long as you have confidence. I didn't expect that a little rascal like you could be admitted to Renmin University. Your parents must be so happy." Xu Mengyao teased.
"That's right. Our grandma kept praising our mom for being the great contributor to the Huang family, giving birth to three Wenquxing children in succession. But after our mom was happy, she shed tears, saying that now that all of us girls have left, the house is becoming less and less lively." There was a hint of melancholy in Wenxia's voice.
Xu Mengyao also sighed a little. Children eventually leave home when they grow up. Now Wenxia, who had grown up with his parents, would also go to the capital to study alone. It was inevitable that Huang's mother would feel sad.
She comforted her sister, "Fortunately, my eldest brother got married and brought my eldest sister-in-law into the family. Are mom and my eldest sister-in-law getting along well?"
"It's fine. Sometimes I get jealous of my sister-in-law. Mom treats her better than me, but she can't have a baby yet. If she gives birth to a cute little nephew, Mom will definitely forget me forever. But my sister-in-law and I are also very good. She's very sad to see that school is about to start for me. She comes to my room every night to study."
"Sister-in-law is learning from you?" Xu Mengyao was a little surprised.
"Yes, my sister-in-law said she really likes studying, but his parents didn't even let him finish high school. Mom often comes to settle accounts with me, and my sister-in-law is reading my books next to her."
Xu Mengyao thought for a moment and said, "Wenxia, I remember there's a night school in Huanshi. Go back and ask Mom and Sister-in-law if they're willing to go. After all, there won't be anyone at home to teach them after you start school. Let Sister-in-law go to night school before she gives birth."
"Second sister, this is a good idea! I will ask them later, and if they are willing, I will sign them up." Wenxia said happily.
Shortly after I hung up the phone, the doorbell rang.
Thinking of Xiaomei saying that someone would deliver the documents, she opened the door directly.
It turned out that the person standing outside the door was Lin Xiaohe.
She was a little surprised, "Evan, aren't you going back to Hong Kong City?"
Lin Xiaohe kicked the suitcase at his feet and said, "Yes, I went back. I just came back from finishing something. I have something to tell you. Won't you invite me in?"
"Oh, please come in." Xu Mengyao reluctantly gave up her seat.
Lin Xiaohe took out a document bag from the suitcase.
"Regarding the financing you mentioned last time, this is the contract I prepared. Please see if there are any changes you want to make. We can discuss this later."
When Xu Mengyao heard about this, she immediately became excited.
"Really?"
Lin Xiaohe chuckled.
"Really? Take your time to read it. I'll go back and rest first."
He stood up and said goodbye. Xu Mengyao walked him to the door to wait for the elevator.
After entering the elevator, he suddenly took out a note from his pocket and stuffed it into Xu Mengyao's hand.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you. I went back to Hong Kong and consulted a famous master. He said we are not incompatible, but rather destined to be compatible. You don't have to worry."
The elevator door slowly closed, and Lin Xiaohe's face with a smirk disappeared, but Xu Mengyao saw her own flushed face through the reflective door.
Opening the red note, there were eight large gold-plated characters on it.
"The eight characters complement each other, a match made in heaven"
