530 Xie Xingchen’s invitation
jiang che didn’t reply to him.
yunqing did not mind. he smiled and said, ” but there’s no rush. a lifetime is so long. who knows when we’ll see each other? ”
“With your personality, since you’re willing to be with that girl, you must be serious. When an outstanding person like you gets serious, no girl will be able to escape from you. You two will get married sooner or later. As your brother, I think I should be able to receive your wedding invitation.”
it’s okay if you can’t get it. I’ve been around for so many years and haven’t had any major breakthroughs in my career, but I’ve accumulated some connections. I should be able to get an invitation to your wedding.
“……”
shi yan was silent.
This second master of the Yun family was also an interesting person. Even though the fifth master of the Jiang family didn’t pay much attention to him, he could still chat with him so enthusiastically. Not only did he not feel embarrassed, but he was also very confident.
no matter how wide his network was, it was not easy to get fifth lord jiang’s wedding invitation.
“ah che, tell me about that girl. i really want to know the story between you two.”
Ever since the news of her and Jiang che being together spread to the capital, countless people had investigated her. Not to mention the story between them, even the information of her 18 generations of ancestors was probably in the hands of many people.
but from what yun qing said, he did not seem to be one of them.
This was rare.
shi yan’s impression of yunqing improved.
after he got together with shi yan, jiang che did show off, but he didn’t show off to just anyone. He did not intend to tell Yunqing much about him and Shi Yan.
“It’s late, I’ll hang up if there’s nothing else.”
he had made it so obvious that he didn’t want to say more. yunqing was afraid that he would be unhappy if he continued to ask, so he sighed and gave up on the topic.
“Alright, you should rest early.”
He added, ” ah che, I’m calling you this time. It has nothing to do with anyone else. I just wanted to talk to you.
he hung up the phone.
but shi yan and jiang che both understood what he meant.
He was telling Jiang che that he didn’t make this call to plead for the Yun family.
the busy tone came from the phone. shi yan hung up and put the phone aside. she held jiang che’s arm and looked up at him.
Looking into her eyes that were filled with heartache and worry, Jiang che wanted to comfort him and tell him that he was fine, but he couldn’t bring himself to say it.
shi yan was indeed a few years younger than him, but in front of shi yan, he always subconsciously didn’t want to hide his thoughts.
“he’s my second brother from the same mother, yun jiaxing’s second brother.” he said.
Shi Yan raised a hand and placed it on his face. She then raised her head and kissed him on the lips.
“i’ve guessed it,” she said.
she took the computer from his lap and placed it on the table at the side. she even saved it for him.
she kissed him on the lips again. ” mr. jiang, take a break. you’ve been staring at the computer for a long time. your eyes need to rest. ”
“Then I’ll close my eyes and rest for a while.” He turned to hug her waist and buried his face in her neck. Ms. Shi, let me lean on you for a while. Just ten minutes. Wake me up after ten minutes.
“okay,” shi yan hugged him back.
Some things didn’t have to be made clear, and words of comfort didn’t have to be said. he was the jiang family’s fifth lord that countless people feared. he didn’t need to show his weakness in front of others, not even in front of her.
The fifth Lord Jiang had his dignity.
he didn’t need anyone’s sympathy.
Even if she didn’t give him sympathy but heartache.
The two of them hugged quietly for ten minutes. Ten minutes later, Shi Yan reminded Jiang che to continue working as promised. jiang che took his laptop back and continued to concentrate on his work. shi yan continued to lean on his shoulder and watch him work.
the two of them were in the same state as before they received yun qing’s call, as if they had not received such a call tonight.
*
The next day, they followed Jing Hailan’s Guide and headed to one of the tourist attractions. Mu Xingxing and Shi Yao didn’t join them, and instead, they went to a location that they had been to before.
This was what mu Xing had told Shi Yan in the morning.
she told shi yan that she wouldn’t be going with them today and wished them a good time. she also said that if everyone came back early in the evening, they could have dinner together.
it was a very normal way of getting along when they met acquaintances from different places while traveling.
However, mu Xingxing didn’t have dinner with them. mu xingxing and shi yao returned relatively late, and by the time they arrived, shi yan and the others had already finished eating.
just after dinner, shi yan received an invitation from jupiter.
the gist of it was that there would be an auction nearby tonight, jointly organized by xie xingchen and his friends. xie xingchen invited mu xing to take a look, and when xie xingchen invited mu xing, he also invited a few of his friends from mu xing as well.
mu xingxing even said that she and shi yao had never attended such events before and were a little nervous, so she really hoped that she would come along.
Shi Yan had wanted to refuse, but when she saw the list of items for tonight’s auction sent by mu Xing, there was one thing that Jing Hailan liked very much. Thinking that she had not found a suitable gift for Jing Hailan and su mu for the engagement, Shi Yan changed her mind.
Speaking of which, Shi Yan had only attended an auction once with her parents nine years ago.
To her, it was a fresh experience.
Of course, she wasn’t someone who liked to try new things.
aside from choosing engagement gifts for jing hailan and su mu, she also wanted to attend an auction with jiang che.
To be more precise, she wanted to experience many things with Jiang che and create more beautiful memories that belonged to them. When they were old, they could sit down together and reminisce about each other.
the auction was very formal.
She needed to dress formally. Mu Xingxing asked Shi Yan if she needed her help to prepare the dress, but Shi Yan refused. Shi Yan contacted Tang Fu. Tang Fu was in the entertainment industry and had a wide network in this area. Soon, someone sent four sets of gowns to the hotel.
two male and female outfits.
xie xingchen had sent a car to pick them up. By the time Shi Yan and the others left the hotel, mu Xingxing and Shi Yao were already waiting for them outside. They were standing right beside the car Xie Xingchen had sent over.
Seeing the well-dressed Shi Yan walking out with Jiang che in a suit, Shi Yao nearly screamed out loud, but she quickly covered her mouth.
Mu Xingxing’s reaction wasn’t any less than Shi Yao’s.
she also stared at the two of them in a daze.
Shi Yan was dressed in a light purple gown. Her black hair fell straight down to her waist, and her face was covered with exquisite makeup.
Perhaps she was afraid of the cold at night, so she was wearing a coat.
Male style.
It was obviously Jiang Che’s.
Jiang che had put it on Shi Yan before she left.
Shi Yan didn’t argue with him about why he had to use his coat to put it on for her when she had clearly brought one. It wasn’t hard to guess Jiang Che’s intention.
It was nothing more than claiming her own territory, so that people could tell at a glance that she was taken.
Shi Yan was very indulgent towards Jiang Che’s unmoving yet undisguisable possessiveness.
Jiang che was dressed in a black suit, a white shirt, and a tie with light purple patterns. His face was exquisite, and he exuded a gentle temperament.
the two of them were undoubtedly eye-catching when they stood together, and they were undoubtedly a good match.
mu xingxing’s gaze stopped on shi yan for a moment, then fell on jiang che’s body and face.
“shi yan, you’re so beautiful tonight,” she said with a smile.
he didn’t show any favoritism and even praised jing hailan.
“Thank you,” he said. shi yan smiled and replied, ” you’re very beautiful too. ”
jing hailan returned the compliment politely.
” alright, we’re both very beautiful tonight. ” mu xingxing smiled. ” get in the car first. it’s cold outside. ” mr. xie said that the auction venue is not far from here, and it’s about a twenty-minute drive.”
sitting in the car, shi yao couldn’t help but steal glances at shi yan.
he was caught by shi yan.
“t-that … shi yan, you’re too beautiful. i really can’t control my eyes.” she said in embarrassment. also, you and the fifth lord jiang are really a good match!”
still feeling a little weak, he patted the mu planet beside her and said, ” “Xingxing, don’t you think so?”
mu xingxing seemed to be in a daze and only came back to his senses after she patted him.
“what?”
“I said that Shi Yan and the fifth Lord Jiang are a good match. Don’t you think so?”
“ah?” she looked at shi yan and jiang che, who seemed to be still in a daze. ” oh, right. ”
“Thank you,” he said. shi yan thanked him politely.
Shi Yao hurriedly replied, ” you’re welcome. I’m just speaking the truth. “xingxing, do you have something on your mind? Why do you look a little absent-minded?”
“I’m fine. I’m just a little nervous because I’ve never been in this kind of situation before. You also know that Mr. Xie invited me because of xingran. If I were to lose my composure at the auction, it would be a disgrace to xingran and Mr. Xie.”
“according to what you’ve said, this is my first time attending an auction of this level. wouldn’t i be more nervous? Xingxing, you’re my spiritual pillar. If you’re scared, I’ll be even more scared. wouldn’t it be even more embarrassing for miss xie and mr. xie if we both lose our composure?”
“Spiritual pillar? you just have to make me happy. i think you’re much calmer than i am.”
” hehe, ” shi yao chuckled foolishly. ” i was just pretending. ”
shi yan watched their interaction for a while before looking away.
She was a little curious. Did Xie Xingchen invite them as well just because they were friends of Jupiter?
