C2703 To Make Him Happy!
"Wait!" Jiang Ci suddenly said, "Yan Er, I have something to tell you. Come here."
"Ah?" Huo Yan stopped and turned her head to look at him. "What?"
"Come here." Jiang Ci said again.
"Oh." Huo Yan looked at the woman and slowly walked over.
The woman's face turned red and white, and she ran away awkwardly.
Huo Yan also scratched her head in embarrassment and said in a low voice, "Sorry … I really didn't mean to eavesdrop."
"It's okay." Jiang Ci said indifferently, "You just happened to appear."
"…" Huo Yan looked at him and hesitated for a moment. Then she asked, "Mr. Ci, did you do it on purpose? You called me here to tell that beauty to leave. Actually, you don't have anything to say to me, right?"
"…" Jiang Ci coughed lightly and said, "I just want to ask why you're staying in the courtyard alone?"
"It's too noisy with so many people. I just wanted to come out and have some quiet time."
"Don't you like liveliness?"
"That's in the past. People will always change." Huo Yan looked in the direction the woman had left and said, "Mr. Ci, was that the girlfriend that Aunt Jiang introduced to you just now? She looks quite sincere."
Jiang Ci looked at her and said, "Sincere?"
"Uh … I was talking about those things. Don't you feel anything at all?"
"No."
Huo Yan pursed her lips and muttered, "But you have to get married, right? You can't just die alone."
Jiang Ci suddenly chuckled.
"What are you laughing at?" Huo Yan was puzzled.
Jiang Ci said, "Why are you like your brother? You don't even have a clue about your own matters, and you still care about others."
Huo Yan blurted out, "Isn't that because you're older?"
Jiang Ci, "..."
"Ah, no, what I mean is that you're a little older than us."
"I'm only a few months older than your brother."
"... In any case, the two of you are the same. My mother is also urging my brother to find a girlfriend."
Jiang Ci's deep gaze looked towards the night sky in the distance and said indifferently, "But what's the use of urging me like this?"
Under the moonlight, the man's handsome face was shining brightly, so beautiful that it seemed to be able to capture one's soul.
Huo Yan bit her lips to clear her mind. Don't be bewitched, don't say something you shouldn't say. After a moment of silence, she muttered, "It's indeed useless."
"Go in, it's cold outside." Jiang Ci suddenly said.
Huo Yan didn't want to go in. "You go in, I'm not cold. I want to stay here for a while."
"Jiang Ci!" Not far away, Mrs. Jiang walked over.
Jiang Ci glanced at her and turned around to leave.
"Jiang Ci, stop!"
Jiang Ci suddenly stopped after taking a few steps and turned around to look at Mrs. Jiang. He said coldly, "Mom, if you do such a boring thing again, don't blame me for not coming back in the future!" After saying that, he strode away.
"You!" Mrs. Jiang was furious, "Alright, I don't care about you. You can die alone!"
"Aunt Jiang, don't be angry. Mr. Ci has been too busy recently. You can talk to him after he is done with his work." Huo Yan tried to comfort her.
"He did it on purpose! He deliberately used his busy schedule to avoid his private problems." Mrs. Jiang turned to look at Huo Yan, "Yan Er, are you... are you doing well recently?"
Huo Yan nodded, "Yes, I'm doing well. My life is very fulfilling now."
Mrs. Jiang smiled, "That's good. Let's go in. We don't care about him anymore."
Huo Yan hesitated for a moment, but she still nodded, "Alright."
"Yan Er, although... you and Jiang Ci are not fated to be together, I still like you a lot. I believe that you are a good girl."
Huo Yan was stunned for a moment, then she lowered her head, "Aunt Jiang, I'm sorry. I have disappointed you."
"It's alright. It's not your fault that you don't like Jiang Ci. It's normal for you not to like his bad temper."
"I..." Huo Yan bit her lips, "Jiang Ci is very good. So many girls like him. He will meet the right person sooner or later."
Mrs. Jiang sighed, "I hope so."
The two of them returned to the banquet hall.
The woman who had just expressed her love to Jiang Ci walked over and gave Mrs. Jiang another birthday wish, saying goodbye.
Mrs. Jiang looked apologetically at the woman, then called the driver to send her away.
Huo Yan looked at the woman's back and was a little impressed. She admired her courage to say those words, but she didn't even have the courage to express her feelings.
Perhaps it was because she knew the answer and the result, so she chose not to take that step.
Her mood suddenly became a little down, and Huo Yan drank the wine in one gulp.
"Huo Yan." A young man around twenty years old walked towards her with a smile.
Huo Yan looked at him and said in surprise, "Why are you here?"
The man chuckled, "Of course I was invited."
"Oh." Huo Yan put down the wine cup and picked up another cup.
"Why are you drinking alone?" The man asked.
Huo Yan said, "I just want to drink alone."
"It's boring to drink alone. I'll drink with you."
"No need. I suddenly remembered that my brother is looking for me. I'll go over first." Without waiting for the man to say anything, Huo Yan turned around and ran away.
The man looked at her back and his eyes were filled with disappointment.
Huo Yan found Huo Fei. "Brother, I'm here."
Huo Fei was slightly startled when he saw her, and then he noticed the Little Young Master Lu not far behind him. He immediately understood the little guy's intention.
"Come with me." Huo Fei said to the few people beside him, then took Huo Yan to the second floor.
There were fewer people on the second floor, so Huo Yan walked to the sofa and sat down. She heaved a sigh of relief. "Brother, you're smart."
Huo Fei scoffed, "Just look at you!"
Huo Yan, "..."
At this moment, Huo Fei's phone rang. It was Jiang Ci. He immediately answered the phone, "Hello, Mr. Ci."
"Where are you?" Jiang Ci asked.
"I'm on the second floor of the banquet hall. Where are you? I'll go find you."
"No need, I'll go over." With that, Jiang Ci hung up the phone.
Huo Yan looked at Huo Fei. "Congratulations, Mr. Ci."
Huo Fei walked to the opposite side of the table and sat down. "Yes, he'll be here soon."
"...Oh."
"If you see him uncomfortable, go to the room over there to rest or go downstairs to look for your parents."
After thinking for a moment, Huo Yan said slowly, "No need, our relationship cannot be avoided. I... I will get used to it sooner or later."
"Alright."
A few minutes later, Jiang Ci came over.
Huo Yan maintained her calm and greeted him with a smile.
She would do it. She would hide her feelings in her heart. From now on, she would only treat Jiang Ci as her brother and treat him as a friend.
"Where did you go?" Huo Fei asked Jiang Ci.
