67 Perfect Match
'He Xinyan smiled
”Okay. Dad
I agree with what you said. A good man should have potential and skill. Being rich is just an extra bonus. I will go to your engagement ceremony. . . with my boyfriend.”'
'”Boyfriend? Who?” Bai Jiawei had completely forgotten about Gu Yechen
and he no longer asked He Xinyan about her love life.'
'Li Yuyan
however
remembered. She comforted herself by thinking that there was no way a person like Gu Yechen would date a woman for such a long time. They had probably broken up already and the boyfriend He Xinyan was talking about was probably some old and fat man from a rich family.'
'Li Yuyan smiled
”Okay
we welcome you and. . . your boyfriend.”'
'He Xinyan returned the smile before walking up the stairs and into her room. Bai Jiawei's eyes followed her and he furrowed his eyebrows together.'
'Why did he feel like his daughter changed?'
'---'
'He Xinyan entered her room and began to study the script for the next day. She stayed in her room all the way until dinnertime before going back down to the first floor.'
'On the first floor
everyone besides He Xinyan was already at the dining table
and the food was being carried out of the kitchen.'
'She sat down and elegantly unfolded the napkin before placing it onto her lap. The three people around her were all staring at her with an unfriendly look
but she didn't care.'
'After the food had arrived
she picked up her chopsticks first and began eating. When she saw that the other three people weren't eating
she raised one eyebrow.'
'”Eat
eat.”'
'Bai Jiawei sighed before picking up his chopsticks and beginning to eat. After a few seconds
Li Huiran and Li Yuyan did the same.'
'After a silent dinner
He Xinyan stood up to leave
but Bai Jiawei called her
”Yanyan
you should be Yuyan's bridesmaid during her wedding.”'
'He Xinyan raised one eyebrow
”Me? Are you sure Li Yuyan wants that?”'
'Li Yuyan frowned
”Of course n-”'
'”It doesn't matter whether she wants it or not. You two are sisters
so it is only natural for you to be her bridesmaid. I don't know and I don't care why you two have such a bad relationship
but in the end
you are still sisters and should support each other.”'
'He Xinyan rolled her eyes
”Correction
we are stepsisters. Not sisters.”'
'Bai Jiawei furrowed his eyebrows together
”Either way
you have to be her bridesmaid.”'
'By now
He Xinyan had guessed what Bai Jiawei was trying to do. He needed to create the image outside that their family was very close and they had family harmony at the wedding
to help him and also the Li mother and daughter.'
'He Xinyan scoffed
”Oh
I see. Li Yuyan doesn't have any friends
so she needs me as a bridesmaid.”'
'Li Yuyan scrunched her face up and opened her mouth to say something but He Xinyan stopped her.'
'”That's fine then. I will do her a favor and be a kind stepsister by being her bridesmaid. Your welcome.” Without waiting for a reply
she walked up the stairs and left.'
'Inside her room
He Xinyan happily jumped onto her bed. She had to admit that making Bai Jiawei
Li Huiran
and Li Yuyan unhappy was a great way to make herself feel good.'
'She went back to reading her script until it was nighttime before she got ready for bed and closed the lights.'
'Tonight
Gu Yechen came quite early
and He Xinyan had just closed her eyes for a few minutes when the balcony door slid open.'
'A few seconds later
she felt the blanket lift up and a sudden warmth surrounded her as two strong arms wrapped around her waist.'
'”Hi
” she said.'
'”Why was Su Zhiming in your house today?” Gu Yechen asked.'
'He Xinyan looked up
”How did you know?”'
'”I saw you talk to him after you left my house.”'
'”My dad agreed to let Li Yuyan marry him
” He Xinyan said directly. She knew that Gu Yechen had probably investigated her before
so she didn't have to explain to him the details.'
'”Oh.”'
'”Oh? That's it?” He Xinyan frowned.'
'”Congratulations to them. A dog and a b****
perfect match.”*'
'He Xinyan chuckled
”Then are we a perfect match?”'
