"Does that an it’s true?" Si Chen mused. "I didn’t expect Sister Qiyun to get married so soon."
Li Beijue’s eyebrows furrowed again, his thin lips tightly pressed, his face expressionless. Anyone with eyes could see he didn’t want to continue this topic.
Si Chen, being soone with eyes, discreetly shifted the topic. He turned the conversation to Huo Leiting. "Lei Ting, how long are you planning to stay this ti?"
"About a month."
"That long?"
"There are so things I need to take care of. Once they’re done, I’ll head back."
Si Chen glanced at Kim Zhixuan, who was enjoying herself, imdiately understanding what it was he needed to take care of.
He then glanced at the carefree Lin Anxin, and Si Chen’s head instantly started to ache.
"What about you? When do you plan to return? I’ve heard your aunt is looking for you." Huo Leiting flicked the ash from his cigarette as he asked.
Si Chen was silent for a mont, then pursed the corner of his mouth. "... In a while."
He was already 28, and his family had started looking for a suitable wife for him.
The so-called "looking for him" was actually setting him up for blind dates.
But he had already made his choice, so he was destined to disappoint his family’s expectations.
Si Chen turned his head again to look at the bright and carefree woman, and his previously headache-inducing mood suddenly improved.
He curled the corner of his mouth, elegantly and gracefully refilling Lin Anxin’s cup of water, discreetly placing it in front of her before raising his head to et Huo Leiting’s teasing gaze. "When Anxin finishes filming her movie, I’ll return."
Then, he planned to take Lin Anxin back ho with him.
Lin Anxin had no idea what he was thinking; she happened to be a bit thirsty from playing and downed the water he had just poured in one gulp.
She put down the water cup and energetically continued playing, "Enen, it’s your turn!"
In the large private room, the atmosphere was lively; so were playing Monopoly, others were chatting.
Right at this mont, an accident occurred.
It wasn’t clear how it happened, but Chi Enen heard a clatter and the man beside her suddenly stood up.
Soon after, the person seated at the lower position imdiately stood up to apologize, "Sorry, I’m really sorry. I didn’t an it. Let get you a tissue!"
She turned her head and saw that Li Beijue’s sweater was stained with a large patch, and droplets of water were dripping down.
Upon closer inspection, it was apparent that the spill on the sleeve of his sweater wasn’t water but colored red wine.
The man sitting next to Li Beijue kept apologizing, handing over a box of tissues.
"Young Master Li, I’m really sorry. I didn’t notice and bumped my elbow, causing the wine to spill from the cup. I’m really sorry. Let wipe it for you."
He ssily pulled out two tissues from the box, intending to help Li Beijue wipe it off.
The man with furrowed eyebrows discreetly avoided the hand, pressing his thin lips together. "No need."
He then asked Si Chen, "Is there a place here to change clothes?"
"There’s a room upstairs. What’s wrong? Do you want to change your clothes?" Si Chen, knowing about his OCD, imdiately said, "Hold on, I’ll get a waiter to take you there."
After speaking, he changed his mind and stood up, "Never mind, I’ll take you there myself."
Li Beijue didn’t rush to leave. He glanced at Chi Enen and instructed, "Wait for here. If anything cos up, speak to Huo Leiting."
"Okay."
Chi Enen agreed, and only then did he get up, irritated, and followed Si Chen out.
The man who accidentally spilled wine on him exchanged a quick glance with soone opposite, but soon looked away.
