"What is it? Did I disturb your date? " Xi Jingchen stared at him with clear eyes.
"Teacher Xi, I"m sorry, I only booked two tickets." Duan Shu Xian could only use this reason to reject him.
It wasn"t that he wasn"t allowed to go with him, but that his ident.i.ty was too dazzling. A place like a cinema wasn"t suitable for him to go to.
Xi Jingchen gave the book to her, and his thin lips slowly opened, "Okay, I won"t disturb you."
Xi Jingchen was startled. Listening to her apologizing, he retracted his eyebrows, "You don"t need to apologize. Also, if you want to come over and listen in on my lessons, you can directly enter the cla.s.sroom."
Duan Shu Xian"s face turned red for a few seconds as she explained, embarra.s.sed, "I was just pa.s.sing by and didn"t eavesdrop."
Xi Jingchen bit his lips, took the book from her, and left. Duan Shu Xian gazed at him with eyes filled with admiration.
Sat.u.r.day arrived in the blink of an eye.
In the morning, at the Duan Residence, Song Meilan woke up early. She was so excited that she couldn"t fall asleep, because today, she was going to Pavilion Lord Manor with her daughter to be a guest.
She knocked on her daughter"s door. Duan Shumin opened the door and saw that she had just showered and tried wiping her hair that had just been washed.
"Mom, are we leaving?" Duan Shumin could not hide the antic.i.p.ation in her eyes.
"It"s still early, Mom is here to see you. Hurry up and dress up. Let"s change into the dress I brought for you last night!" Just wear that one. "
"Alright, I"ll be out in a while." Duan Shumin also wanted to make a good makeup and get ready.
Today, she didn"t want to miss the chance to meet Xi Jingchen either, because before he even met her, she had already fallen in love with him.
She had entered this area, and her hard work and promotion had been largely due to him. She wanted to be closer to him.
That day when she met him in the Pavilion Lord Manor Garden, he was the motivation and goal behind her hard work.
Now, however, she was finally rewarded. She had been noticed, and with her family background, she had a better chance of approaching this future lord than other girls. She believed that the royal family would definitely not like girls that were too flamboyant. Wearing the elegant dress that her mother had sent her, Duan Shumin, who was a capable and strong lady, had turned into an extremely flirtatious girl.
She was no more than twenty-six years old, and she exuded a mature aura that was somewhere between a girl and a woman.
She stood in front of Song Meilan, and Song Meilan immediately looked at her daughter in astonishment. He stepped forward to help her tidy up her clothes, and she nodded in satisfaction: "Not bad, my daughter is indeed beautiful!"
Duan Shumin held onto her long hair, and revealed a confident smile, beside him, her father nodded, "Shu Min, you have to perform well and bring honor to our clan when you go to Pavilion Lord Manor."
"Dad, don"t worry! "I will."
Even the Old Man Duan placed great importance on this matter. He sat on his teacher"s chair and said with an expectant tone, "Now, apart from Si Ye, you are the most promising one in our family. Don"t disappoint us."
"Grandfather, don"t worry!" I will do my best for the clan. " Duan Shumin looked at her grandfather and answered.
"Although there"s still that child Shu Xian, that child is quiet." In Song Meilan"s heart, she still felt that his daughter was much more outstanding. The only one who could bring honor to the Duan Clan was his daughter.
The Old Man Duan naturally did not have much hope for his other granddaughter. He only hoped that she would be like her parents, married to a decent man, and live a peaceful life.
At around nine o"clock, Song Meilan and her daughter sat in the Duan Clan"s private car and set off, heading straight in the direction of the Pavilion Lord Manor.
In Pavilion Lord Manor, Chu Yue had also specially instructed the kitchen to have a guest come over and receive them.
Chu Yue came over from the kitchen and headed towards master bedroom"s sixth floor"s. She knocked on the door.
"Come in." Xi Jingchen"s voice came from inside.
Chu Yue pushed the door open and heard her son"s training footsteps coming from the treadmill beside the master bedroom. stopped running and used a towel to wipe the sweat off her forehead before walking towards her mother.
"Mom, is something the matter?" He took a sip of water.
Chu Yue sat on the sofa at the side, "Jing Chen, Mom has invited two guests to our house for lunch today. They are almost here, come down to meet us later."
When Xi Jingchen thought of his sister"s words, he guessed that she must be the future wife that his mother had meticulously selected for him.
"Mom, what customer?" Xi Jingchen pretended not to know. "She is an outstanding girl and her mother. Jing Chen, your father and I are saying that you should start a family before you start a new one. That way, once you succeed the position of Pavilion Master, you will be able to rule the country without any distractions." Chu Yue was only thinking for her son, she …
He was also worried about his son"s succession.
Xi Jingchen did not blame his parents for lining up for him, they had all done it for his own good. He nodded, "Alright, I"ll be back shortly."
"Alright, don"t make the guests wait too long." Chu Yue stepped forward and patted him, "Come down quickly." As soon as Chu Yue went downstairs, she heard the butler report that the Duan Clan"s mother and daughter had arrived. Chu Yue immediately welcomed them outside the door and saw a mother and daughter pair walking in from the corridor. She had seen Lady Duan before, but standing by her side was the tall and beautiful girl.
He was the future daughter-in-law candidate that Chu Yue was very satisfied with.
She had investigated Duan Shumin"s upbringing and achievements in these past few years. If her son were to marry her, she would be able to help a lot after he succeeded the throne in the future.
Song Meilan immediately came forward respectfully, "Greetings, husband! It"s an honor to meet you. "
"Don"t be a stranger. I"ve missed you two ever since we last met at the banquet." Chu Yue smiled. Shu Min greets Madam. " Duan Shumin greeted politely. She looked at the gentle and elegant wife in front of her, her body exuding a threatening aura. It was the dignity of a mother. Although she is about the same age as her mother, she seem much younger
There was even a kind of beauty and elegance that made one unable to judge one"s age. Chu Yue looked at Duan Shumin and smiled in satisfaction, "h.e.l.lo, Miss Duan!" She invited them in for tea.
