"Have you had a hard journey along the way? You must be very tired driving."
The man opposite Ying Kexin said with a smile at the dining table, holding a wine glass in his hand.
She put down the chopsticks in her hands slowly.
"No, it's okay."
Suddenly I received a call from Duan Hongwei, saying that I had to meet him for something, so I showed up here. There was a lot of food on the table, but I had no appetite at all. I picked up my chopsticks and took two bites. When I heard the man talking, I couldn't eat any more.
Duan Hongwei laughed and explained: "I was too rude last time. I must apologize in person so that I can feel comfortable."
"No, it's okay."
Still the same calm voice as always.
Facing the man in front of him, he was lifeless, let alone a little bit fond of him. He was completely devoid of anything, like a robot without emotions.
If it weren't for their mother, neither party would have known each other.
What else could she say to someone she was just meeting for the second time.
Ying Kexin's flat tone only left Duan Hongwei looking for something to say.
"You look really good when you eat. You should hear this kind of thing all the time."
"This is the first time I've heard of it."
"I was too hasty at that time, so I want to get along well with you in the future, what do you think?"
Sure enough, you have some intention, right?
She remembered what she said clearly at the Xinghai Garden Hotel.
"Of course I was very rude at that time." Ying Kexin said without thinking too much: "But no matter how many times I ask this question, my answer is the same. I'm sorry, I thought that between us then and now There is no fate between them."
As soon as she finished speaking, she nodded, took her handbag, and walked out.
"Wait a moment!"
Duan Hongwei immediately chased him out of the box.
The voice came from behind her.
"I know you are sad, so I have to behave well again."
"Sorry, I hope I won't arrange such an occasion again in the future. I will buy the order."
"Didn't I already say I'm sorry?"
Duan Hongwei suddenly roared and grabbed Ying Kexin, who was still about to leave.
"do not do that."
Ying Kexin's hand was so painful when he grabbed it, it felt like he could crush her wrist.
"What? A date?"
Suddenly a voice came, interrupting the two people.
Looking over at the same time, I saw Shi Yan standing between the two people with his hands in his pockets.
"Tsk! We meet again."
Ying Kexin didn't want to see the two people, so she took this opportunity to shake off Duan Hongwei's hand and turned around to leave.
Before leaving, he said something.
"I go first."
"you……"
Duan Hongwei looked at Ying Kexin's figure, wanted to chase but didn't, and sighed helplessly.
The next second, I heard Shi Yan say, "The result of my courtship doesn't seem to be going well."
"Shi Yan, don't be too confident."
He sneered and walked out in the direction Ying Kexin left.
My wrist hurts.
Duan Hongwei was really strong. He walked out of the restaurant with his scratches still on his wrists.
The moment he raised his hand and opened the car door, his body trembled as if he had been electrocuted.
She closed her eyes and sighed helplessly.
"Ying Kexin, how was the meal?" Shi Yan's sarcastic words came from behind. Before she could turn around, Shi Yan had already come behind her, even getting very close. He raised his hand and held it. Her hand on the car door handle. "Your date doesn't look like it's going well, does it?"
His warm breath fanned to his ears.
Just as she was about to speak, Shi Yan held her hand and opened the car door.
"It's getting late, I have to go."
Ying Kexin pushed Shi Yan away calmly and sat in the car.
When closing the car door, Shi Yan's hand suddenly placed on the door, stopping him.
I saw Shi Yan leaning down slowly, his tall body blocking the entire door.
"Ying Kexin, this is the second time today, so be careful on the road."
After saying this, Shi Yan closed the car door like a gentleman.
But Ying Kexin knew that he was not a gentleman.
How could a gentleman propose sleeping together when they first meet?
If you meet this kind of person, you must avoid him.
When Ying Kexin returned home, it was already dark. She looked at the time and saw that it was already past nine o'clock.
In the living room, the lights were still on.
I don’t know why, I feel very tired and my body is very tired.
She dragged her heavy body step by step upstairs.
Every step seems to be a big obstacle.
There are more than a dozen steps, but it feels like a long walk.
Tired of these things, how long will it take to do this?
"I plan to send that child away this year, Ying Kexin."
As he stepped onto the last step, a voice came from the half-open room.
The person who spoke was my brother Ying Lun.
With the lights on in the room, two figures could be seen in the corridor.
"I will take care of it. You can concentrate on the company's affairs."
This voice is mother.
"Didn't you say you would take care of it yourself? The result of your decision-making is to arrange a blind date at least once a month. Don't you think it's too much?"
"Why on earth are you like this? Marriage is not something that can be solved by just finding a partner."
here we go again.
The two quarreled again because of her.
"Mom, if you do that, your relationship will not look good in the eyes of others."
"Isn't that true?"
This rhetorical question made Ying Kexin lower her eyes at the stairs.
She slowly stepped onto the last step and stopped.
"Would my mother treat me like this?" Ying Lun's tone was filled with helplessness, "Ying Kexin is a family member, my sister, and my mother's daughter."
"Just seeing her face now makes me sick of the world."
It's a sentence that should be no surprise, but it still hurts your ears when you hear it.
She held her breath and clasped her hands tightly.
"It always reminds me of that bar girl. She destroyed my family. Don't you know that I am living in hell? Have you forgotten how happy my mother lived back then? I hope she disappears from my eyes and disappears forever. That’s it for now, let’s not talk about this topic anymore.”
Mom vented her anger, turned around and walked out of the room.
At the door, I saw Ying Kexin standing in the corridor.
"Mother!"
Ying Lun chased out and saw Ying Kexin, and stopped instantly.
"I heard that you rejected the blind date that you finally managed to find time for. What is your status in this family?"
Mom didn't think there was anything wrong with talking to Ying Lun, or even that it couldn't be said in front of her. So, with a straight face, when I walked past her, I said these words.
Ying Kexin listened without any expression on her face.
Over the years, she has shown herself to be very good at hiding her emotions.
"Ying Kexin..."
Ying Lun took two steps forward, but Ying Kexin interrupted him and smiled.
"Brother, I'm going to sleep first."
It was like she didn't hear anything.
It doesn't matter, this sentence is not wrong.
Didn't she already know that? I thought it would get better as long as I worked hard.
Even if you don't work hard, you just need to adapt.
Now Ying Kexin is trying hard to become strong, like a hedgehog, resisting all external harm.
But she seems to be an existence that is not welcomed by anyone.
In the bathroom, the warm bath water flowed down from her head. She stood in a daze, with one hand clenched into a fist and the other hand holding an eyebrow trimmer, which slowly fell on her wrist.
