Chapter 1691 - Without His Life

Xi Jingchen sat in the car, but he did not immediately start the car, his pair of deep eyes staring fixedly into the distance with unfathomable thoughts.

He had no doubt about the feelings that she had for him. Now, from her perspective, he could understand how difficult it was for her.

The Duan Clan was a clan with a lot of political power. The Duan Clan's old man was an elder, and Duan Deliang also held a lot of power. This was also the reason why his mother introduced Duan Shumin to him.

On the contrary, Duan Shuxian's parents lived a low-key and ordinary life. What she avoided was not their feelings, but the pressure of her family.

As a filial and kind-hearted girl, she chose to maintain the camaraderie of this large family of the Duan Clan, and did not blindly stiffen their relationship.

Xi Jingchen squinted and smiled with his thin lips. The light in his eyes was still like a tightly woven net, preparing to trap his prey.

"I said I'd wait for you." Xi Jingchen muttered to himself in a low voice.

If what she needed was time, he wouldn't force her, he could wait, but on the premise that she wasn't allowed to marry another man, not even in love.

Just give each other some time! Xi Jingchen wouldn't disturb her for a short period of time, but he would pay attention to her every move.

It was the nth time that Duan Shu Xian had been stabbed by a rose in her mother's shop. The small wounds on her palm caused her to feel so much pain that she didn't dare to make a sound.

Because she deserved it! At such a time, his mind was still wandering. Who could he blame?

"Shuxian, come, send some flowers for mom. This is the address, we'll be there as soon as we walk." Li Yu handed over a bunch of beautiful flowers that were wrapped in bandages to her.

Just as Duan Shu Xian needed to walk around, she received the address.

After sending off the flowers, Duan Shu Xian didn't immediately return to the shop. In the afternoon, there weren't many customers in the shop, so she walked into a nearby garden to take a stroll.

Unknowingly, summer had arrived. She still remembered when she first met Xi Jingchen, it was early spring, and the slightly cool air caused her to close her eyes. She could even recall that wonderful smell of early spring.

Unlike this moment, when the intense summer sunlight was extremely dazzling, she chose a place with a cool shade. She took out earplugs from her bag and listened to music. The artificial lake in the distance was like a mirror reflecting the sky, and everything was extremely quiet.

In the evening, she received a call from the Auntie Huang. It turned out that she had left behind a small thing, so she had time to go retrieve it.

Duan Shu Xian gave it to her, she wouldn't go back to school.

"Little Duan!" This was really strange! Didn't you say that you would leave school together with Teacher Xi?! "

"What?" Duan Shu Xian asked in surprise, "He also left school?"

"Don't you know? Aren't you in love! He didn't know you'd quit, and you didn't know he'd left school? What kind of quarrel are you two quarreling about? "

"When did he leave school?" Duan Shu Xian's heart skipped a beat. Why did he leave?

"It seems to be his last class yesterday afternoon! I heard some female classmates were chatting, you really don't know! "

Duan Shu Xian smiled bitterly. "I really don't know."

"Sigh!" It's probably because you've left that he's no longer interested! " The Auntie Huang guessed at that end.

Duan Shu Xian's eyes were filled with grief, was it? If he was no longer in school, she would probably never see him again! Maybe I'll see him on TV later.

As she thought about it, Duan Shu Xian felt more and more pain in her chest.

In the blink of an eye, a week had passed, and Monday's feast had arrived.

In the past week, Duan Shu Xian seemed to have become a soulless person. She worked hard in her mother's shop during the day, but at night, her heart was completely empty. She had cried like a child while biting her arm several times.

However, in front of her parents, she was talking and laughing just like before, making it hard for people to see her sadness.

Around 4 in the afternoon, Li Yu saw that her clothes had been stained with dirt, she couldn't help but urge her, "Shu Xian should go back and change! We'll go to uncle's house for dinner tonight and dress decently. "

Duan Shu Xian looked down at her clothes and nodded. "Alright!"

Duan Shu Xian took off her apron. She was carrying a small bag as she walked out of her mother's shop. She wore a fresh white dress and had a head of long hair that was tied in half a ball, revealing an extremely delicate face.

She raised her head slightly and stood in front of florist, waiting for the train. The art wall behind her made her look like a pure elf.

Bai Xia tried to stop the taxi a few times but failed. She could only sigh helplessly.

A black car had stopped for who knows how long in the parking lot across the road. A pair of deep eyes quietly stared at the girl who hailed a taxi in front of her through the dark, tight window.

The man was about to get out of the car and send her on her way.

However, he suppressed that urge. He did not want to disturb her, so he had to do it. At the very least, he would not appear in front of her right now.

"Young Master, do you need me to send you off?" The bodyguard at the driver's seat asked.

"No need." Xi Jingchen replied in a low voice.

Duan Shu Xian bit her red lips. Unable to get a taxi was a helpless thing, but she was also optimistic. Since she couldn't get a taxi, then she might as well be in a daze!

Duan Shu Xian's gaze flickered as if she was immersed in her own thoughts. What she didn't know was that the man opposite her had noticed all of her exquisite expressions. Xi Jingchen pursed her lips, and a hint of a smile flashed across her face from time to time, as she looked at the adorable girl in a daze, as if she was admiring a spirited painting.

Beside Duan Shu Xian's feet, a little dog was running randomly into the busy street. She jumped in fright and quickly squatted down to pick up the little dog.

The little milk dog was immediately hugged, and its mistress also rushed over, "Little Eight, what are you running around for!"

Duan Shu Xian took the opportunity to stroke the puppy's head, then pinched its little mouth and returned it to her mistress. "Thank you miss, I just bought it, it's always running around." The hostess was very grateful to her for saving her pet just now.

"So cute." Duan Shu Xian laughed as she patted the little mutt's head. The little mutt was very adorable.

When the man opposite saw the way she loved little animals, a smile appeared in his eyes. He began to think about how he would allow her to have a dog in the future.

Right at this moment, a taxi stopped in front of Duan Shu Xian. Someone got off the taxi, and she quickly stepped forward to stop the taxi.

When the taxi left, the black car on the other side also left with the taxi.

When Duan Shu Xian returned home, the black car disappeared into the crowd of cars.

Duan Shu Xian walked into the room and opened the wardrobe. She looked at the new dress her mother bought for her. She still chose the simplest combination, a white T-shirt and jeans.

Duan Shumin did not look for her again, but she knew that this sisterhood was already apathetic to the point that she had a premonition that it would never recover in her lifetime. The Duan Shumin of that day was extremely unfamiliar to her.

At five-thirty, Duan Deming's car was waiting for her downstairs, and Li Yu had prepared two fresh flowers for the Duan Clan.

The Duan Residence, bathed in the evening light, was grand and magnificent. Duan Deming's car drove inside, while Duan Shu Xian followed her parents with her bag on her back, walking towards the direction of the main hall.

At this time, she saw that Old Man Duan was practicing Taiji Fist in a small garden nearby. Duan Shu Xian walked over to her grandfather and greeted him.

"Grandfather."

"Shu Xian, you're here." Old Man Duan retracted his fist and wiped away some sweat. His face was flushed red and he looked healthy and healthy.

Old Man Duan couldn't help but be surprised for a moment. He didn't think that this granddaughter of his would already be such a lady.

Duan Deming also came over to chat with Teacher Duan, while Li Yu went to chat with Song Meilan about family matters. Duan Shu Xian, the junior, had been taking a walk in the garden, and although she had been a guest of the Duan Clan since she was young, even if she didn't have a genuine branch family, she still couldn't find a family here.

As she walked, Duan Shu Xian turned a corner and heard a voice calling her from behind.

"Shu Xian, come here."

Duan Shu Xian's heart skipped a beat. She turned around and saw Duan Shumin, who had returned at an unknown time, looking at her with a complicated expression.

"Sister Min." "Hello." Duan Shu Xian turned around and greeted.

"I have something to tell you." Duan Shumin spoke to her, with a look in her eyes.
