It was very difficult for Murong Qiao not to think about it when Shen Xi, who had always been quiet and acted like she had nothing to ask for, asked her such a question.
Therefore, she thought of it and asked.
“You like my Fourth Brother?”
There was an indescribable silence on the other end of the phone, but Murong Qiao felt that this was a tacit agreement.
Perhaps when she asked the question, she already knew the answer. When Murong Qiao thought of this question and saw that Shen Xi couldn’t answer her, her thoughts drifted to herself. Some time ago, when she went to her Fourth Brother Yan Xiu’s shop to customize clothes, she often saw Shen Xi. At that time, she was still wondering why she could always see Shen Xi in the design studio. When Shen Xi asked about her Fourth Brother’s preferences today, Murong Qiao suddenly felt that she seemed to have discovered something.
“Yes, a little…” Shen Xi’s extremely shy voice came from the other end of the cell phone.
She had mustered her courage to ask Murong Qiao this question because she knew that once she asked such a question, the other party would discover her intentions.
However, when she thought of how her mother had already encouraged her to pursue boldly, Shen Xi suddenly felt that she should let go sometimes and ask whatever she wanted. Only then could she figure out Yan Xiu’s preferences and let him notice her.
Murong Qiao couldn’t help but chuckle when she heard her admit it.
It wouldn’t be bad if Shen Xi became her sister-in-law.
Thinking of her Fourth Brother’s quiet personality, if he could match Shen Xi… That scene immediately appeared in Murong Qiao’s mind, making her smile. Shen Xi boldly asked, “I asked him to go to an exhibition two days ago.” That time when she went to the shop, she was too embarra.s.sed to speak from the beginning to the end. In the end, it was Xiao Gu who took the initiative to look for Yan Xiu and tell him what Shen Xi wanted.
At that time, Yan Xiu stood there in silence for a long time. When Shen Xi’s thoughts fell through and she even thought that she might return empty-handed this time, Yan Xiu actually agreed.
As a result, Shen Xi was especially nervous when she returned home in the past few days. She even started preparing for the exhibition early in the morning. From her clothes to her accessories, she was picky and wanted to not make a fool of herself in front of Yan Xiu.
He was a designer.
Shen Xi subconsciously thought so. Then, she couldn’t help but touch the hem of her dress. She couldn’t help but wonder if there would actually be a problem with what she was wearing.
Even though she was already dressed beautifully and exquisitely and had even asked for the opinions of others, and even her mother nodded in admiration, Shen Xi was still more or less uncertain.
‘Til help you ask Uncle Yang about this when I get home,” Murong Qiao said. Since Shen Xi had a request and it was such a matter, Murong Qiao was happy to help.
She explained slightly, “My answer might not be very accurate. Uncle Yang has taken care of my Big Brothers since they were young. He definitely knows more about this than me. I’ll send it to you when I have an answer.”
Murong Qiao remembered this matter and planned to call Uncle Yang to ask for the answer after she was done today.
Actually, she originally wanted to ask Yan Xiu directly, but she thought that this might alert him and ruin Shen Xi’s plan.
When Shen Xi heard this, she immediately heaved a sigh of relief and her heart fell.
“I hope it won’t trouble you,” Shen Xi replied with curved eyes and a smile. Their conversation ended in a few minutes. Murong Qiao hung up the phone again and glanced at Jiang Chi, who was still driving.
Jiang Chi said appropriately, “Ten minutes.”
“Alright,” Murong Qiao replied casually. She leaned back slightly and slowly closed her eyes.
She had been too tired these past few days, so much so that when she relaxed a httle, her body couldn’t help but feel sleepy. She gradually fell asleep.
Jiang Chi, who was driving, silently slowed down when he saw this.
Sleepiness was something that didn’t consider time and occasion. No matter what environment it was, one could fall asleep uncontrollably.
The air conditioner in the car was just right, perfectly isolating the residual heat of the afternoon from the car. The soundproofing in the car was extremely good, and one couldn’t hear the traffic and the irritable sound of the horns outside at all.
However, the weather always seemed to be capricious. Every time the sunny weather made one want to go out to shop, the heavens would playfully start to drizzle again.
The dense raindrops left uneven wet marks on the shoulders of the pa.s.sers-by. Everyone hurriedly found a place to hide from the rain and hid under the eaves. An Nuo, who had just returned to the district, was also drenched by the rain. It was as if she was born unlucky. For an event today, she had to wear a tight and beautiful short dress. A thin layer of veil wrapped around her shoulders, but it was useless. It even made the rain even more violent.
The wet veil was stuck tightly to An Nuo’s shoulder. She had no choice but to raise her hand to block the rain and try her best to maintain her vision. Then, she quickened her pace in the direction of the path home.
She shouldn’t have let the car only send her to the entrance of the district just now.
An Nuo thought in frustration and quickened her pace, making the crisp sound of her high heels ring.
However, the road from the entrance of the district to the house seemed to be especially long at this moment. An Nuo had clearly quickened her pace, but when she looked up, the distance didn’t seem to have decreased much. ’
At this moment, a black car slowly drove over from behind her. The moment An Nuo heard the sound of the engine, she dodged to the side of the road, afraid that the rain brought about by the wheels would splash on her again.
However, the scene she imagined didn’t appear. Instead, the car slowed down as it approached her.
At this moment, they happened to be at a crossroad. An Nuo was wondering if she had blocked the other party’s path and was about to stop and make way when she saw the car drive to her side. Then, she saw the car window beside her slowly roll down, revealing the cold and handsome side profile of the man inside and a concerned gaze.
“There’s still a distance from here to the lobby. Get in the car. I’ll bring you there,” Murong Chen said to An Nuo.
He had gotten someone to drive him here to rest today, but he didn’t expect to meet An Nuo by the roadside.
Seeing that it was not good to let her go back in the rain like this, although there was only a short distance left, it could at least reduce the probability of catching a cold. Murong Chen asked the chauffeur to drive to An Nuo’s side and invite her.
An Nuo only felt the faint heat rising on her face at that moment. She couldn’t even feel the coldness of the rain.
Was today really going to be her unlucky day?
It was fine if she was drenched in the rain, but when Murong Chen saw her in such a sorry state, An Nuo was a little embarra.s.sed. She raised her hand and scratched her cheek. In the end, under Murong Chen’s repeated insistence, she opened the car door and sat in the back seat in embarra.s.sment.
However, the rain on her body couldn’t help but wet the seat under her. An Nuo was about to apologize for causing trouble when she sneezed first.
“Achoo-” She hurriedly covered her mouth and nose and stopped her inelegant actions in time.
Seeing that the clothes An Nuo was wearing were really thin, Murong Chen took the windbreaker beside him and spread it to cover her.
It couldn’t be said to be warm, but this could at least make the other party feel better..
