Chapter 1528 - Dinner
On the way back, Xia Wan heard Xu Xiaotong"s complaints, the two little fellows were already so tired that they leaned on her and fell asleep.
And Xu Xiaotong seemed to want to pour out all the bitterness of her life tonight. To her, today was truly a dream come true.
Xia Wan listened to her all the way, but she really didn"t know how to feel regretful for her good job. She was still happy for her, and she finally spoke a few words to her idol, Ya Heng.
"Forget it, I don"t even want to hand over my resignation slip. I won"t be going directly." Xu Xiaotong was too ashamed to go to the company.
"Then those of you who have a better relations.h.i.+p with them, you can ask them to deliver it for you." Xia Wan advised.
"This job of mine looks s.h.i.+ny and beautiful. The relations.h.i.+p inside is not as good as we imagined. Everyone is competing. If you are not lenient, others will step on you. My designs have been copied many times by other designers in my department. I have been enduring it!" Xu Xiaotong said helplessly.
"How can I endure this? It"s your work. "
"There"s nothing I can do about it. One of them even advanced to a senior designer because of copying my work. I can only learn from him. In the future, if I have any work, I won"t bring it to the office in advance." Xu Xiaotong seemed to be one of the people who had a miserable life these past few years.
When they returned home, two people, one carrying two sleeping little children, went back to their room. Xia Wan wiped their faces and let them sleep.
At night, Xia Wan looked at her phone for a while, and then accidentally flipped to the text messages she had with Yi Xi that night, and saw that he had said, "You crashed into my car!"
She couldn"t help but smile. He was in the car at that time? It didn"t scare him!
Xu Xiaotong took a shower, and was also in a daze on the bed. In her mind, she could only see Ya Heng"s ice-cold face, and the words "f * ck off" from him had given her quite a shock.
The person who chased her out was her idol? This attack was truly a critical hit!
The next day, the whole family went to the nearby park for a picnic. The beautiful autumn day, with suns.h.i.+ne s.h.i.+ning under the golden tree, the family had an enjoyable picnic, the little children playing by the side, the adults talking about the past and the beautiful memories, while Xu Xiaoming and Xia Wan also poured a cup of coffee and held it in their hands, listening to the elders reminiscing about the good times from time to time.
On the side of the gra.s.s field, the two kids were playing kickball together. This was probably the best childhood for the kids!
However, Xia Wan still noticed that his daughter and son were looking at a family not far away from them from time to time. In that family, there were grandparents, as well as parents, especially that tall father who was holding his younger daughter up high and hugging her tightly.
This was probably what her two darlings envied the most! A trace of helplessness also surged up within Xia Wan"s heart. This, she really had no other ways.
In the evening, at a castle, Yi Xi was also a little bored. During his weekends, during the day, he liked to read and play football, and exercise with his brocades. But when night fell, he would mysteriously feel lonely, and at this time, he would want to go out to eat with his friends.
Usually, he and Ya Heng would travel together, but now, Ya Heng had a drinking party that he was unable to part with.
In Yi Xi"s mind, he naturally thought of a woman who owed him a meal. Xia Wan.
He stood in front of the french window, extended his hand out to grab his phone, opened Xia Wan"s phone number, and opened it.
At this time, Xia Wan and her family packed their stuff and prepared to return home from the picnic area.
When she heard the phone, she picked it up from her backpack and looked at it, startled. It was him.
She quickly picked up her cell phone and walked to the side before nervously answering, "h.e.l.lo."
"Does Miss Xia have time tonight?" A low voice came from a man speaking in Chinese.
Hearing that, Xia Wan could not help but say in astonishment, "How did you know my surname is Xia?"
"The last time in the bar! I heard your friend call you by name. " Yi Xi chuckled.
Xia Wan regained her senses, she looked at the people behind her, then asked: "I did not forget about inviting you to dinner, but, but, can we make an appointment first?"
"Can it be tonight?" Yi Xi asked very directly.
Xia Wan thought that since she would have to invite them sooner or later, she might as well treat them to a meal to express her thanks.
"Of course you can. I"ll order a restaurant first and contact you later, is that okay?" Xia Wan asked.
"Good!" "Then I"ll wait for your call." Yi Xi was rather easy to talk to.
After hanging up the phone, Xia Wan naturally did not want her family to know that she was going to treat a stranger to a meal tonight.
She got into the car and said that the call she had just made was from her boss. They were going to have dinner tonight and discuss work matters.
When she went back, she would need to bathe and cook dinner for her two little grandchildren. Xu Xiaotong also a.s.sured her that she would accompany her children.
After returning home, Xia Wan still dressed up a little. She was not familiar with the nearby restaurants, so she got Xu Xiaotong to introduce him to her.
"There are two upscale restaurants nearby, but both of them are quite expensive."
"It"s fine. It"s fine if it"s more expensive." Xia Wan thought that she would do her best to treat this man to a meal. She would definitely hit his luxury car and compensate him with an even higher price.
After settling the restaurant, Xia Wan sent Yi Xi a message and wrote down the exact address of the restaurant. Very quickly, she received a reply from him, he was willing to come.
In Xia Wan"s heart, she only had one plan. After treating this meal, there would no longer be a next time with this man.
In the afternoon, at the picnic, the skin on her wrist became allergic again. She took out the scented cream her grandmother had made for her and applied it to her body. The cold and icy feeling made her feel much better.
Moreover, the air smelled very nice, with a pure plant fragrance.
She knew that even if this perfume made by her grandma became a big brand of perfume in the future, it would definitely be of high quality and was very popular.
However, she had always been determined not to use her grandmother"s achievements as a means to gain benefits for the company.
At the castle, Yi Xi drove out alone. After he set up the navigation system, he went out.
In the bustling street, a neon light flashed. He wore an elegant suit and exuded a n.o.ble aura amidst the dim blue light.
The wrist watch on his wrist refracted an enchanting l.u.s.ter that dyed his face with a faint trace of it, causing his gaze to become increasingly deep and serene, and to become even more bewitching.
Xia Wan had already taken the lead to enter the dining hall. While waiting, her slender and gentle appearance of a female from the East attracted the attention of many men around her. Some of them looked at her and wanted to stand up to start a conversation with her.
However, at this time, from the direction of the restaurant"s main entrance, an elegant and enchanting male figure walked in. He had a pair of pure dark blue eyes, and the aura of a n.o.ble clan that exuded from his body was especially obvious.
Xia Wan looked at the man that walked over and stood up. It was the first time she saw him under the bright light, and her heart couldn"t help but tremble for a few seconds.
Of course, after seeing his son"s face so many times, he wouldn"t lose himself in front of this man.
Although there was no lack of handsome men in this country, there was also an aura other than his handsome appearance. It was an incomparable n.o.bility, and when one looked at him, it would make them think of the Royal family"s birth.
Xia Wan still wanted to greet him, but discovered that she didn"t even know his name.
"h.e.l.lo." She could only greet him politely.
"h.e.l.lo! My name is Helfan Yi Xi, you can just call me Yi Xi. " Yi Xi introduced himself, but he did not put on any airs.
Xia Wan found his name quite fitting, and it became especially special.
"My name is Xia Wan." Xia Wan reached out his hand, and Yi Xi reached out to hold her hand as well.
The moment the two palms met, both of them simultaneously felt a type of heart attack coming from the other.
Xia Wan immediately pulled back her hand, a little embarra.s.sed. She was vexed by the feeling of electricity coursing through her body in that instant just now.
It was just an enlarged version of his son, what was there to be moved about?
