Chapter 214: Chapter 214: Don’t Want to Argue in Front of An’an and Lele Chapter 214: Chapter 214: Don’t Want to Argue in Front of An’an and Lele Yuan Xi didn’t even change into pajamas, just threw on a coat and went to the basketball court next to the park.
The lights on the basketball court were very bright.
Yuan Xi walked over and sat next to Fu Qin, watching Huo Shiyuan playing on the brightly lit court, where he seed even more handso under the lights.
Fu Qin looked at Yuan Xi and smiled, “I really didn’t expect anyone to think Huo Shiyuan was childish.”
“He was brought up by four elders since he was a child, from the mont he was born, Huo Shiyuan was grood to be the successor by the elders of the Huo family, so the words ‘childish’ have never applied to him.”
Yuan Xi said, “He’s still childish.”
“Shiyan!”
Huo Shiyuan did not pass the ball to Xu Zhou, his teammate, but instead to Wen Zhuo.
Xu Zhou called out, disgruntled.
Huo Shiyuan said, “I’m done playing.”
Seeing that the action on the court had stopped, Yuan Xi took a bottle of mineral water from next to Fu Qin and walked over.
“Well, well! No wonder he’s quitting, it’s because Little Xi has arrived.”
“Today, I’ve gotten to see the real Little Xi up close.”
Among those playing, there were a few familiar faces Yuan Xi recognized but couldn’t recall the nas of these rich young n, so she could only smile and greet them lightly.
Yuan Xi handed the bottle of mineral water to Huo Shiyuan, “Here.”
Seeing Yuan Xi’s hair was still a bit damp, Huo Shiyuan took a sip from the water and then walked to a chair on the side where clothes were placed, took his coat, and draped it over Yuan Xi’s head.
Huo Shiyuan said to the basketball players, “We’re leaving first.”
With Huo Shiyuan’s jacket over her head, Yuan Xi took a few steps, then started to take off the jacket, “Why did you throw your jacket over my head?”
Huo Shiyuan said, “You ca out with your hair still wet? There’s a big temperature difference between day and night at this ti, and it’s quite cold when the wind blows at night. You’ve just had a baby less than three months ago; aren’t you afraid of getting sick?”
Yuan Xi laughed lightly, “I already blow-dried it mostly, but seeing that you weren’t coming ho and that Fu Qin sent a video of you playing basketball, I ca to see you.”
“I’ve never seen you play basketball before.”
“Neither did I expect that after graduating, there would co a day when I’d bring water for soone playing basketball.”
Huo Shiyuan was still holding the mineral water Yuan Xi had brought him, and he took another sip, “In the future, if you want to co ho, you can just call .”
Yuan Xi said, “I was afraid you might be busy with sothing. After all, I sent you photos of Lele and Anan, but you didn’t respond to .”
Huo Shiyuan said, “If you send your photo, I’ll definitely get back to you. I don’t want to use An’an and Lele to smooth things over while we’re still having a conflict.”
Yuan Xi said, “It’s you who’s unilaterally having a conflict with , not .”
Huo Shiyuan put his hand on Yuan Xi’s shoulder and sighed deeply, “What exactly do I need to do for you to love a little, and not casually ntion divorce, willing to let go of ?”
Yuan Xi said, “I don’t know what to do to make you understand that I love you. If I didn’t love you, I wouldn’t have taken an early economy class flight to Beijing to find you, without bringing anything but my ID card and my phone…”
Huo Shiyuan said, “Truly loving soone doesn’t involve thinking of every way out, nor does it an saying divorcing and letting go on a whim.”
Yuan Xi said, “Huo Shiyuan, that’s all hypothetical. If you fell in love with soone else, why would I cling to you? To make myself miserable? All that you’ve said is based on the hypothesis that you’ve fallen for soone else. If you don’t like soone else, I wouldn’t consider divorce.”
“I grew up in a happy family, and I definitely want our children to grow up in a happy ho too. Can’t you just stop feeling so insecure? Why must you cling to this hypothetical scenario?”
Huo Shiyuan said, “All I know is that just the thought of you falling for soone else and insisting on leaving makes feel like I’m suffocating, let alone calmly considering divorce and custody issues. You can be so calm and clear-headed because you’ve never loved . You say I’m insecure, but have you ever given a sense of security?”
“Ever since I was young, Yuan Xi, to you, I’ve never been a dispensable person in your world. Every ti I leave Jiang City to go back to A City, I am the only one who is heartbroken!”
“It’s like what Shi Lei said about that ti you had your tooth pulled out. You happily went ho, completely indifferent to how devastated I was about leaving you!”
“I just want you to care about a little more, is that possible? Even if you don’t love , can you pretend to love a bit?”
Listening to Huo Shiyuan’s words, Yuan Xi frowned and said, “I do love you, and if you don’t believe that, so be it. My tooth still hurts badly. So much has happened today, and if you insist on fighting with , I can’t help it. But I don’t want to fight with you, especially not in front of An’an and Lele when we get ho. If you’re going to be this irrational today, then I can stay at the company. I’ll co back when you’ve cald down.”
Huo Shiyuan grabbed Yuan Xi’s wrist and pulled her into his arms, lowering his head to bite her red lips.
Yuan Xi uttered a sound, trying but failing to push Huo Shiyuan away.
Fearing that soone might pass by and see, she bit Huo Shiyuan and said, “I think you really need to calm down!”
“My tooth hurts, and I’ve driven for so many hours. I really don’t have the energy to argue with you right now.”
Yuan Xi shook off Huo Shiyuan’s hand and returned ho.
She found the dicine box and took a painkiller.
It was a long ti before the pain subsided, and she realized it was a ti-release capsule.
Yuan Xi went to the cloakroom to change into new clothes and said to Huo Shiyuan, “There’s an early eting tomorrow, and I don’t want to stay ho and argue with you. I’m going to sleep at the company.”
Yuan Xi thought that she would have to buy a place of her own near the A City company.
Huo Shiyuan says he doesn’t love her? She had given up everything in Jiang City for him.
How could that be considered not loving him?
Yuan Xi herself felt aggrieved.
Right before she graduated, she had considered coming to A City to struggle, but she couldn’t bear to leave everything in Jiang City behind, and it so happened that she received an opportunity from Mi Yi.
Yuan Xi was born and raised in Jiang City. She had thought she would never leave Jiang City in her lifeti, but now she found herself in the unfamiliar A City. Although the dialects of A City were close to those of Jiang City, there were many differences.
The social circle of Huo Shiyuan in A City was all new to Yuan Xi, who felt more and more wronged by the minute.
Huo Shiyuan saw Yuan Xi dressed and ready to leave. He stepped forward and took hold of her wrist, “Let drive you to the company.”
After getting into Huo Shiyuan’s car, Yuan Xi fell asleep in the passenger seat.
When she woke up in a daze, she found herself on top of a mountain. There were no mountains in A City… this mountain…
Yuan Xi checked her cellphone, which had barely any signal, only showing that it was two o’clock in the morning.
There was only their car on the mountain, with Huo Shiyuan sitting inside the driver’s compartnt.
Yuan Xi pushed Huo Shiyuan and asked, “Where have you taken ? Where is this?”
Yuan Xi wasn’t afraid of what Huo Shiyuan might do to her, “Shiyan, there’s a eting early tomorrow morning.”
Huo Shiyuan opened his eyes and said, “By Ruohu Lake.”
Yuan Xi: “…”
She had just endured a four-hour traffic jam to get back to A City, and he had taken her back to Jiang City again.
