Chapter 1713 - Invitation to Dinner
Three days later, Duan Shumin left the country. In this period of time, she had managed to think of many things.
At the airport, the only people who were sending her off were Duan Deliang and Duan Siye. Duan Deliang repeatedly warned her to be careful on her journey home, so no matter what, she would have to focus on safety.
Duan Shumin nodded, she looked towards her brother who was beside her. She knew that she no longer had any feelings for him, maybe she would not touch him for a few more years.
However, the Duan Clan needed to continue to be passed on, and this was also her mother's regret. She looked towards her big brother.
"Brother, while you take care of dad and grandpa, you have to consider your own feelings."
Duan Siye nodded his head, he naturally knew about the heavy responsibility he had, and furthermore, he could feel the urgency of the clan regarding the issue of their children.
"I will work hard." Duan Siye replied.
After watching Duan Shumin enter the waiting room, the father and son then headed towards the parking lot. Duan Siye said to his father, "I have already found you a plot of land. There, there is a self-built small villa.
"There's no need to change. I don't have much need for that right now. I just need a place to stay."
When Duan Siye got on the carriage, he saw his father walking towards him from behind, he suddenly felt flustered, as if his father had aged a lot after his mother passed away, and as his son, even if he had a successful career, so what?
There were three ways to not be filial, and one would only get bigger if there was no future.
Duan Siye got into the car and started to think about this problem. It was not that he did not think about it, but rather that he had not had time in the past few years, and was busy with work everyday, making him feel that his life was very fulfilling.
In the evening, Duan Shu Xian received a call from her grandfather. Only then did she learn about Duan Shumin going abroad, and she felt a little regretful that she wasn't able to send her off.
For some unknown reason, Duan Shu Xian had an extra three days of vacation. She was the one who directly informed her that she did not have to go to work, and Duan Shu Xian also knew that Xi Jingchen had arranged for her to do so.
She had been resting at home for three days, and her spirit had been restored. The symptoms of hypoglycemia were gone, and during those three days, in order to strengthen her health, she would run downstairs to the park.
Tomorrow, she would return to work, and for the past two days, Xi Jingchen seemed to be very busy. She only chatted at night, and during the day, if he didn't send her a message, Duan Shu Xian wouldn't dare to disturb her.
Actually, they were still living in two different worlds. Her life and everything else couldn't even compare to his world.
In the afternoon, Xi Jingchen, who had just returned from lunch with the diplomatic mission, saw his mother chatting with a lady in the hall.
This lady was a philanthropic ambassador, she came to personally invite Chu Yue to a charity banquet tonight.
Coincidentally, Chu Yue needed to accompany her husband to participate in an important meal tonight, so she was unable to leave.
Chu Yue looked at her son who was walking out of the door.
"Jing Chen, come over here to greet Auntie Sun!"
Xi Jingchen knew that this lady in front of him was extremely successful in his philanthropy in the country.
"Yo!" This must be Young Master Xi! "It's been a while since we last saw each other. He's really a genius and a very handsome man!" Auntie Sun could not help but praise him.
Xi Jingchen smiled humbly and sat beside his mother. Chu Yue said to him, "Mrs. Sun is hosting a rather private charity banquet tonight. Originally, they invited me over, but I have an appointment with your father, so you should come over for me tonight!"
Xi Jingchen nodded, "Alright! I will come. "
Chu Yue laughed, "Invite a female companion over! I'm sure you have a choice. "
Xi Jingchen's eyes flashed with laughter, "Good! I'll invite her. "
After Auntie Sun heard this, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. So Young Master Xi had a lover! In truth, when Xi Jingchen was here just now, she had immediately started to help his granddaughter.
Now it seemed that she should give up!
Xi Jingchen got up and went upstairs. The moment he entered his study, he took out his phone and dialed Duan Shu Xian's number.
"Hey!" Duan Shu Xian's sweet voice came from the other end.
"What are you doing?" Xi Jingchen sat on the sofa. After accompanying the diplomatic mission for the entire day, he also felt slightly tired.
"He's reading. What about you?"
"I just got home!" Xi Jingchen's voice was a bit lazy, he followed with a question, "Are you free tonight?"
"There is!" Duan Shu Xian couldn't help but look forward to it. Since he asked, he must have made some arrangements!
"I have a rather private banquet tonight. I would like to invite you to accompany me."
Duan Shu Xian was startled. Banquet? She was still a little nervous. "Just the two of us?"
Xi Jingchen was also well aware that bringing Duan Shu Xian to his level would require some time. His past life would definitely not be able to touch things at his level.
"Don't worry, I'm here. Just stand by my side."
Duan Shu Siliang answered in a soft voice, "Alright!"
"I'll pick you up at three-thirty."
"Isn't it too early?" Wasn't a banquet supposed to be held at night?
"I want to have a cup of coffee with you!"
"Where to drink?"
"I have a good place for coffee."
When Duan Shu Xian thought of his identity, she became nervous. "You can't just run around like that!"
"Don't worry. Our coffee shop is quite safe. I'll pick you up now."
"Didn't you say three o'clock?"
"I want to see you earlier." Xi Jingchen said in a low voice, "Get ready, I'm coming."
With that, he hung up the phone. Although Xi Jingchen was tired, but when he thought of seeing her, his fatigue seemed to immediately disappear. He informed the guards, and then went downstairs and left the house.
Seeing that he was about to go out again, Chu Yue knew who he was going to look for.
After Duan Shu Xian put down the phone, she couldn't help but stand up and walk to the mirror. She looked into the mirror and saw that she was wearing a large and comfortable nightgown. Her hair was casually tied behind her head.
Duan Shu Xian hurried to the bathroom to wash her hair and face. She decided to properly dress up for him, otherwise, it would be too embarrassing for her to meet him.
Duan Shu Xian's long hair was gently draped behind her head. The strands of dragon whiskers and bangs parted in the middle, causing her delicate face to appear extremely fair and petite. Her eyes were beautiful and watery, brimming with spirit.
She chose a more ladylike dress. She didn't have the habit of going out to put on makeup, she only wore a moisturizing lip gloss. She seemed to be in high spirits.
At around 2: 50, Duan Shu Xian's phone rang. She picked it up to see, if it wasn't Xi Jingchen's, then who was it?
She went out as she picked it up.
"Hey!" Have you arrived? I'll be right down. "
"Okay, I'll wait for you at the door." Xi Jingchen replied gently.
Duan Shu Xian immediately walked down the stairs like a happy butterfly. She couldn't help but smile, giving her the appearance of a young woman in love.
Just as Duan Shu Xian walked out, she saw a bodyguard open a car door and ask her to enter. Duan Shu Xian sat inside, Xi Jingchen was wearing a dark shirt, with half of the shirt pulled back, revealing half of his strong and sturdy arm, he was wearing an Absolute wrist watch.
The words' elite pillar 'emerged in Duan Shu Xian's mind.
It had been two days since they last met. Duan Shu Xian's heart was beating so fast that she couldn't stop herself from jumping up and down. When she came into contact with the deep gaze that was staring at her, she became a little shy and didn't dare look him in the eye.
Xi Jingchen looked at her embarrassed appearance, and the strong arm came over, and said softly, "Sit here."
Duan Shu Xian had just gotten on the car and was a little far from him, so she couldn't help but move her body. The next second, the man lightly pressed his arm, and she snuggled into his embrace.
Sticking close to his firm and powerful chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, Duan Shu Xian's face was burning. She closed her eyes in relief, feeling the time she had spent with him.
"Let's have coffee first! At four-thirty, to try on the evening dress, to dinner at six, to the party at seven. " Xi Jingchen arranged the time accordingly.
Duan Shu Xian replied lightly, "Alright!"
Xi Jingchen's car drove towards a coffee shop. This coffee shop was not open to the public, but was located in a tightly guarded ancient servant building. The environment was graceful, quiet, and there were few customers.
