(Thank you for the generous reward and the soaring votes of the month, I bow in gratitude!)
————————————
He had never expected that Xiao Yi would be someone related to Chen Jianguo. He had met Xiao Yi a few times and they had known each other for quite a while, but he had never thought that Xiao Yi would be a wealthy young master!
"Uncle Wang, in the future, you might have some hard work ahead of you, but rest assured, the salary will definitely be considerably generous,"
Xiao Yi said with a smile.
"It’s no trouble, no trouble at all. This is what I do for a living, driving isn’t hard work. It’s just that... I’m afraid I might be too clumsy, and I’m not sure if I can do a good job... Also, Xiao Yi, this... this is too much trouble for you, wouldn’t it be too difficult for Director Chen?"
Wang Dawei, looking at the gentle smile on Xiao Yi’s face, finally confirmed that his wife was not joking with him. However, his mind still seemed unable to fully grasp the situation, and he looked at Xiao Yi somewhat flusteredly and said.
"It’s not a problem at all, just normal driving,"
Xiao Yi said with a smile, casting an encouraging look, "And there’s nothing difficult about it. I’ve already spoken with Auntie Li and the others, Uncle Chen has always been in need of a reliable driver. By going, you would be doing him a big favor, how could it be a problem?"
"If it’s no problem, then that’s great!"
Upon hearing Xiao Yi’s explanation, Wang Dawei somewhat dreamily came to his senses, his face showing a hint of indescribable excitement. He looked at Xiao Yi, seemingly wanting to express his gratitude, but he just kept stammering without being able to say anything and just kept repeating.
"Come, please, come in and have some tea."
It took him a while to react, and then with a grateful expression, he said to Xiao Yi. The look in his eyes toward Xiao Yi involuntarily carried a hint of respect that was different from before.
"Uncle Wang, Auntie Li, there’s no need for this. In fact, my relationship with Uncle Chen is just that of distant relatives, I’m not some wealthy young master. You can just treat me as you did before, without any difference,"
said Xiao Yi, feeling Wang Dawei’s respectful gaze, he couldn’t help but smile bitterly while explaining to Wang Dawei and Li Xiaomei.
He had never expected that asking Chen Jianguo to step forward would have such a big impact. In the eyes of ordinary people, Chen Jianguo’s status was so high. All the way over, even though he repeatedly told Li Xiaomei not to treat him as some wealthy young master, to just treat him as Wang Qingqing’s junior and a friend as before, and he acted the same as before, Li Xiaomei always responded positively. But still, he could feel that the look she gave him always had a hint of respect.
Even with Wang Qingqing, he didn’t know if it was just his imagination, but he felt a sense of distance that seemed to have appeared suddenly.
"Uncle Wang, Auntie Li, if you keep acting like this, I’ll never dare to come over again, it would seem like I’m here to show off,"
asserted Xiao Yi seriously.
"This... okay then, we’ll no longer be restrained. We’ll stay as we were before, and you be more at ease too,"
said Wang Dawei and Li Xiaomei as they looked at each other and saw a hint of helplessness in each other’s eyes. Turning back to see Xiao Yi’s sincere expression, their faces couldn’t help but reveal a touch of emotion. Although they wanted to act naturally, the deliberate effort ironically made them seem even more restrained.
Seeing the expressions on their faces, Xiao Yi also couldn’t help feeling a sense of helplessness. However, he knew that it was something that couldn’t be rushed and could only slowly interact with them until they gradually got used to him again. Only then would they truly become natural again.
"Auntie Li, you all chat here—I’ll go to the kitchen to wash the vegetables."
No sooner had everyone sat back down in the living room, with Li Xiaomei about to invite Wang Qingqing and Xiao Yi to sit and chat for a while, than they heard Wang Qingqing stand up and say.
"I’ll go help."
Xiao Yi observed Wang Qingqing who seemed to look fine on the surface, but something just didn’t feel right. If he had thought before that he might be overthinking things, at that moment, he was certain something was off with Wang Qingqing, and immediately, he realized what it was and couldn’t help but let out a wry smile.
It seemed she was still upset after all.
He had wanted to explain things to Wang Qingqing for a long time, but he had always been afraid she’d misunderstand, so he hesitated, constantly thinking about how to explain it to her in a way that wouldn’t lead to a misunderstanding. But he could never find the right opportunity or method, and the longer he waited, the deeper Wang Qingqing’s misunderstandings became...
Until today, even before the incident with Li Xiaomei occurred, he was still deliberating, hesitating, agonizing...
When he burst out of the field and heard what Director Li and the others were saying, threatening him with something about Brother Hei, he suddenly decided to take this opportunity to cut the Gordian knot, involve Chen Jianguo, and kill several birds with one stone.
At first, when the situation had seemed to be resolved, and he had introduced Chen Jianguo to her, there appeared to be no abnormal reaction on her face. He had thought that maybe everything could just pass by, but unfortunately, he hadn’t expected...
Wang Qingqing held a very special place in Xiao Yi’s heart. He wasn’t sure exactly what he felt for her, but one thing was certain—Wang Qingqing was very important to him!
Watching Wang Qingqing stand up and leave, Xiao Yi could care less about decorum and quickly stood up, saying.
"Hey, Xiao..."
Wang Dawei heard Xiao Yi was also headed for the kitchen and suddenly panicked. How could he let him go there? He immediately stood up and was about to call Xiao Yi back, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was stopped by Li Xiaomei at his side.
"What are you doing? How can you let Xiao Yi...?"
With a puzzled face, Wang Dawei turned to his wife, about to say how Xiao Yi shouldn’t be sent to the kitchen, but before he could finish, he was cut off by his wife, Li Xiaomei.
"You’re really such a blockhead; can’t you use your brain for once!"
Li Xiaomei, seeing her husband still looking confused, couldn’t help feeling unsatisfied and pinched him hard on the waist, saying.
"What? What do you mean?"
Wang Dawei blinked, still looking baffled at his wife.
"Do you think Xiao Yi is really going to the kitchen to wash vegetables for you? The young couple needs some private time to talk, why would you want to stop them? Do you think it’s appropriate for you to intervene?"
Li Xiaomei was completely at a loss for words with her slow-reacting husband, rolled her eyes at him, and laid it all out for him. (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
