Cen Xia walked towards her quickly, his steps a little messy.
There was a cup of coffee in front of her, still emitting steam, as if she had just arrived.
The strange thing is that there was also a cup of coffee opposite her, which was obviously prepared for herself. The timing was really perfect.
Realizing someone was approaching her, Shirley raised her head and saw Cen Xia's eyes were filled with tears.
Shirley retracted her distracted gaze and motioned for her to sit down.
"Cen Xia, long time no see." Although she was too nervous, she spoke first.
Cen Xia saw that she was not dressed as exquisitely as usual today, and her amber eyes had lost some of their luster.
She sat on the sofa opposite Shirley as soothing music played in the store.
Cen Xia stared at her blankly for a long time before she remembered to ask her, "Sister Shirley, how did you get in touch with Chi Jinyan?"
She lowered her eyes, as if she heard somethi
When Cen Xia passed by the front desk, she accidentally caught a glimpse of the TV screen above, which was broadcasting the changes in the Cen family, which was almost the same as what she had browsed on the Internet before.Perhaps just as Shirley said, Chi Jinyan's attitude towards the Cen family has changed drastically.If that's the case, then it all makes sense.Leaving the warm coffee shop, fine snowflakes began to fall from the sky, intertwined with the drizzle.Cen Xia couldn't help but stretch out her hand to catch them, but her palms were too warm, and the snowflakes turned into water droplets before they touched her skin.She sighed softly , " This year's snow seems to have come earlier than in previous years."She tightened her coat around her and walked gracefully toward the curb.Just as she was finding her footing, a black car stopped in front of her.As the car window slowly lowered, Chi Jinyan's face gradually a
Night falls.There were two cars parked in front of the old house. Cen Xia took a look and wondered who was in the rear car.After lunch, Chi Jinyan sent her to the old house, where she chatted with Old Mrs. Chi for the whole afternoon.She also helped the servants prepare dinner, and tried her best to act virtuous, after all, that was what Old Madam Chi liked.Cen Xia heard a noise at the door and looked towards it.Chi Jinyan's eyes happened to meet hers, but she was looking at Mo Yongzhe behind him.That face instantly brought back painful memories of her past. What exactly did Chi Jinyan mean?"Hello, sister-in-law!" Mo Yongzhe smiled at her.Cen Xia nodded slightly.Mo Yongzhe touched Chi Jinyan's shoulder lightly with a guilty conscience, then walked past them and went straight to the reception room to find the old lady.Chi Jinyan only took one glance at her and knew what she was thinking. He seemed to explain
Cen Xia turned to look at Chi Jinyan, only to see a faint smile on his face. What was going on?The Chi family has so many rules, so Cen Xia had no choice but to stand up, take the cup from the tray, and respectfully offer the cup of tea to Old Mrs. Chi.After thinking for a while, he called out shyly , " Grandma, please have some tea."Her voice was soft and sweet. The old lady was very pleased with her well-behaved behavior and a kind smile was on her face.She gracefully stretched out her hands to take the teacup, gently opened the lid, lowered her head slightly, blew away the hot steam, and then took a sip, her demeanor revealing dignity and nobility.Cen Xia was a little dazed as she watched from the side. The demeanor of a young lady in ancient times should have been like this.The old lady put down the teacup and gently pulled Cen Xia to sit next to her. Her attitude was completely different from before.But she didn't feel tha
Only Cen Xia's bright eyes were flickering in the darkness, and her thoughts kept drifting back to the night she spent with him.It was already difficult for her to calm down, and now it was even more difficult for her to fall asleep.She was afraid that her strong heartbeat would be transmitted along the bed to Chi Jinyan, disturbing him and making him unhappy.But she remembered what he had said before, he said she could not be compared with Mo Ran and he had no interest in her.Although these words are hurtful, they seem to be the safest now. It must be painful to sleep in the same bed with someone you hate, so ... he deserves it.It was unknown how long it had been before Cen Xia dared to close his heavy eyelids.Chi Jinyan's squinting eyes suddenly opened. He appeared calm on the surface, but he was actually already restless inside. Cen Xia lying beside him made his breathing disordered.He always felt that she seemed to be stari
When Rong's mother was helping Chi Jinyan to serve soup, she seemed to remember something and reminded him , " Yes, Master, I saw you busy in the study last night. I'm afraid you didn't sleep well."These words instantly made Mrs. Chi's smile disappear. She put down the newspaper in her hand and looked at Chi Jinyan, "Huh? Jinyan, did you sleep in the study last night?""Yes, grandma, there is some unfinished work.""Hmph, what kind of work is it that requires a whole night of work? I think you are just trying to fool an old woman like me and put on a reconciliation show for me." Last night, in order to prevent the two of them from cheating, all the beddings in the rooms except the one they lived in were taken away by Rong's mother. But they ended up doing the same show. The more Mrs. Chi thought about it, the angrier she became."Eh? Grandma, what's wrong with you?"As soon as Cen Xia entered the restaurant, she noticed that the atmosphere here
When Shirley came, Cen Xia was concentrating on the melody of the piano. Her fingertips danced lightly on the keys, and she had already become one with the music.Rong Zhengqing wanted to go forward, but Shirley stopped him and signaled him not to disturb her.The two of them looked at Cen Xia at the same time."She really was born to be on the stage." Shirley murmured softly with admiration in her eyes.Rong Zhengzhengqing nodded in agreement , " The young lady's love for the piano is obvious at a glance." He sighed inwardly, it was a pity that the young master cruelly restrained her talent.As the last note rippled in the air, Shirley stretched out her hand and clapped quietly, "It's wonderful!"Cen Xia looked at her, eyes full of surprise, "Sister Shirley? Why ... are you here?"Shirley smiled lightly, her eyes full of mischief, "Silly girl, I can come in easily, of course, Mr. Chi allowed it, and I didn't tell you in advance, just
Cen Xia's expression was filled with worry. She was afraid that her brother might meet with another accident, so she continued to ask mechanically , " Have you seen my parents again?""I went to the hospital, but only saw your father. However, his condition is much better." Shirley hugged Cen Xia and stroked her back. She knew she was crying.She would never show her vulnerable side in front of outsiders. How could she not miss her parents after not seeing them for three years?"Okay, Xia Xia, I heard that Uncle Cen will be able to go home soon. Don't worry, he will be well soon. It's just a temporary recuperation and his life is not in danger."--Cen Xia actually really wanted Shirley to stay and spend more time with her. Only Shirley could bring her some peace of mind, but she had her own things to do.Chi Jinyan not only helped her solve many problems, but also arranged for her to join his own company to replace Rong Heng.Thinkin
When Cen Xia tried to see clearly, the elevator had already arrived. She had no choice but to follow Chi Jinyan into the claustrophobic space.Just as the elevator door was about to close, Mo Ran seemed to look back at her. His gaze was so deep and unfathomable that she couldn't help but take a step forward.Didn’t he say that Mo Ran had completely disappeared in Qingcheng?"What's up?"As Chi Jinyan asked, Cen Xia's gaze slid towards him, but she saw that he was not looking at her, which made her wonder, did he also see Mo Ran?"It's okay." She responded softly, with a barely perceptible coldness in her voice.Coming back to her senses, Cen Xia realized that he had let go of her hand at some point. She raised the corners of her lips in self-mockery. No one else would choose to ride in the same elevator with Chi Jinyan, so he naturally didn't need to pretend to be gentle and considerate to his wife anymore.Cen Xia was immersed in her
