Chapter 1684 - Tentative Emotions
Duan Shu Xian knew that her mother's family background was very ordinary. In her grandfather's house, she had always dared not offend anyone. If she knew, she would definitely be scared. "Dad, other than asking me to leave school, I promise you everything!" Duan Shu Xian sat up
She sniffed and said, "I promise you that I won't date him. I just want to stay at school."
"Rather than letting you see him, it's better to leave as you sink deeper in." Duan Deming understood that his daughter would only feel pain if this continued.
"I just want to see him. I won't have any more preposterous thoughts! I only want to see him twice a week. " This was the only request Duan Shu Xian had.
Duan Deming was soft-hearted in the end, he sighed and said, "Alright! You can stay with him, but you have to maintain your relationship with him, and you have to explicitly reject him so that he doesn't have any desire to interact with you anymore. "
Duan Shu Xian's heart ached. She bit her lips and nodded. "Alright, I will."
"If I find out you're getting closer, go to your mother's shop and help her. Never see her again." Duan Deming reminded.
Duan Shu Xian tried her best to hold back her tears as she replied softly, "Alright!"
"Come out and eat!" Duan Deming said to her.
"I can't eat now, I'll eat later." At this moment, Duan Shu Xian just wanted to be quiet.
Duan Deming did not disturb her anymore, he got up and left, Duan Shu Xian weakly laid on the bed, looking at the ceiling, tears silently flowed down from both sides and seeped into her hair.
There was only one persistent and strong thought in her mind. Let her see him a few more times! Even if we can't be together, let her stay with him until the day he ends his teaching!
She only had this kind of request! And she really didn't dare to think about being with him.
At this moment, a message came over her phone. Duan Shu Xian immediately sat up and reached for her phone. Her teary eyes widened as she looked outside the door guiltily.
It was a message from Xi Jingchen, she tapped it open.
"Have you eaten?" A simple question.
Duan Shu Xian gasped, the message she didn't dare to send just now was sent by him.
Duan Shu Xian wanted to reply immediately. She stretched out her hand and typed, but there was a sense of anxiety lingering in her heart. She wouldn't be with him, so why did she show that she liked him?
Even if she really did like him, she had to keep her distance. She had to lock her heart in place and never be tempted by him again.
As Duan Shu Xian read the message, she felt a kind of torture in her heart. Heaven knows how much she wanted to reply to him.
Duan Shu Xian bit her lips. As she read his message, she could only endure it. She forcefully suppressed her impulse. When she saw his message, she felt a sense of absent-mindedness and honor.
Time passed bit by bit, and Duan Shu Xian resisted the urge to send him a message. She thought that he wouldn't send her any more messages, so she decided to stay in bed for a while because she suddenly felt very tired.
Suddenly, the phone beside her started to sing. Duan Shu Xian was shocked. She picked up the phone and saw the caller's name. She quickly hid under the blanket. She didn't dare to answer it immediately, but she also didn't want her father to hear it. If he knew that it was him, he would definitely have the decision to ask her to leave the school. Duan Shu Xian was lying under the blanket. The ringing sound was so deafening that it made her panic …
He reached out his hand and pressed the button.
"Hey!" A deep, magnetic male voice came from the narrow blanket.
Duan Shu Xian's heart was about to stop beating. She didn't expect to get the call. She quickly put her hand on the phone and greeted, "Hello!"
"Are you sleeping?" Xi Jingchen who was at the other side heard her strangely quiet voice, as well as an empty inspiration.
"I... "Yes, I'm sleepy, sleeping." Duan Shu Xian pretended that she didn't reply to his message just now, just in case he didn't know how to answer. "No wonder you didn't reply to my message." Xi Jingchen laughed deeply.
Duan Shu Xian's thoughts went blank for a few seconds as she heard his laughter. Everything about this man was like a giant magnet, attracting her. Even though she was listening to his breathing through the phone, her heart was still pounding.
Finished, there was a feeling of helplessness and fear in Duan Shu Xian's heart. She had truly fallen in love with him.
"Why are you sleeping now? Did I disturb you? " Xi Jingchen asked apologetically.
"Ugh …" I woke up and didn't disturb me. " Duan Shu Xian didn't want him to feel guilty.
"Your father seems to have something against me this afternoon! He should know my identity! " Xi Jingchen asked helplessly.
Duan Shu Xian hurriedly said, "No no, my dad has no objections to you, he probably guessed your identity! However, don't you worry, he will absolutely not reveal this to anyone. "
Duan Shu Xian was sensible enough to protect her father, but she attracted a burst of magnetic laughter. "Why are you so afraid?" I won't do anything to your father. "
Duan Shu Xian didn't know how to reply. She was indeed afraid.
"I haven't eaten yet. I want to go eat!" Duan Shu Xian was afraid that her parents would come in at any time, so she wanted to end the call.
"It's already eight, why haven't you eaten yet? This starvation is bad for the body. " The man's voice scolded.
"I know, so I'm going to eat now. I'm hanging up." Although Duan Shu Xian was extremely reluctant to part with him, she didn't dare to chat with him for long.
"Alright, go!" Xi Jingchen replied.
Duan Shu Xian immediately cut off the call. She sighed and got out of bed. She couldn't eat anymore, it was as if she had just fought a competition and was extremely tired.
At this moment, her phone's message rang. She thought it was a trash message, so she casually picked it up and took a look.
Seeing that, she calmed her heart which had just calmed down and made two more hurried sounds, it was from Xi Jingchen.
She reached out her hand to tap open the message, only to see a short sentence asking her, "Have you considered the matter that I asked you to consider?" When will you give me your answer? "
Duan Shu Xian swallowed her saliva. Looking at these words, she felt extremely bitter in her heart.
Could she still think about it? She had no room to think, because she could not be with him.
There were too many factors that prevented their actions. Firstly, if the Duan Clan knew that her grandfather, eldest uncle, and elder cousin would not agree, how would they think of her?
This way, his father wouldn't be able to act like a human being. Of course, this was one of the reasons, and there was also a very big heart that was between them.
Did she really have to be able to be his wife? On this point, she was completely unsure. In fact, she was even a little afraid. She was not greedy for power, and never thought that she would possess such a noble status.
She wasn't afraid of being with him. She was afraid that her inadequacy would lead to his future accomplishments and become a stumbling block for him.
Just thinking that she might bring disaster to his life, she did not dare to carelessly fall in love with him. Perhaps he needed an outstanding woman who was suitable for him and suitable for him to be by his side.
Was her pain insignificant compared to his future? Besides, they had only known each other for less than three months! In such a short period of time, could it be that he was also temporarily lost?
Duan Shu Xian's heart ached at being able to calmly analyze all of this, but reality was like a bucket of cold water being poured over her.
Duan Shu Xian only wanted to maintain one thing, and that was to have her greedily accompany him while he was teaching. She only needed to look at him twice a week, even from a distance.
Duan Shu Xian picked up her phone and typed out a message. "Sorry, I haven't thought it through!"
After replying, his message soon arrived.
"Alright, there's no rush. Think slowly. I'll wait for you." Xi Jingchen's words were filled with patience and tolerance.
As Duan Shu Xian watched on, she felt ashamed.
Duan Shumin continued to drink in the bar until she was very drunk. She called one of her subordinates to come over and pick her up.
Instead of going home, she went to a hotel. She was a very proud person, so how could she let her family see her like this? She would rather spend her days in a hotel.
Even though Duan Shumin was drunk, she was very clear-headed. As she laid on the bed, her mind was still filled with the scene she saw in the afternoon behind the bookshelves.
She had a strong sense of crisis. She thought that she wouldn't look for Xi Jingchen on this matter, she wanted to look for Duan Shu Xian. She wanted to let her know that she, Duan Shumin, was not allowed to snatch a man that she had her eyes on. It was someone who belonged to her.
