He looked at the watch in Jin Yan's hand. It was simple, but there was something luxurious about it.
She seemed to remember the watch on Xiao Yu's wrist. It was also this brand.
Could it be that what Jin Yan said about giving to friends was for Xiao Yu? However, this watch really did match Xiao Yu's temperament. A low-key, luxurious look suddenly appeared in his mind, as if Xiao Yu was wearing this watch.
He felt a strange sensation in his heart.
”In the past, when I was engaged to him, I didn't care too much. I only focused on working hard and even cancelled my engagement to him for a chance in the future. However, after so many years, I have always regretted it.” Jin Yan's voice was lonely, but she looked at her watch with a gentle smile.
Hearing these words, Ye Yan Xi was sure that the watch was for Xiao Yu. Only Xiao Yu had once been engaged to her, so he didn't know why he would cancel the engagement.
He felt as if his heart had been pricked by a needle. He felt dull pain.
Jin Yan didn't linger on her grief for a long time. She pulled Ye Yanxi along and said, ”Can you take a look at this design for me?”
She inadvertently caught a glimpse of the price on the signboard. This was her salary for a few months.
The corner of Ye Yanxi's mouth quirked up in a smile as she looked at Jin Yan's somewhat excited expression. ”This design looks really good. The person you want to give it to must be very compatible with it.”
Jin Yan beamed with joy again. She handed the watch to the saleswoman. ”This one, please use a good box to wrap it up.”
The sales clerk saw how Jin Yan was so straightforward and certain, and said excitedly, ”Okay, I'll definitely wrap it carefully for you. Miss, you have a good eye, this watch is a new one from our side. It's popular as soon as it goes on sale. You'll definitely be close to your sweetheart.”
”Thank you.” Jin Yan was even happier now.
”Miss Jin, then we'll go shopping first. I won't disturb you any longer.”
”Un, I'll see you again when I have time!” Jin Yan smiled at the two of them and nodded.
Ye Yan and She Chuyan went up to the second floor. She Chuyan seemed to be lost in thought for a long time before she finally remembered who that Miss Jin was. No wonder she was so familiar with her.
”Xixi, isn't that the senior you admire so much, the young female diplomat who often appears on the news on TV?” He Chuyan smacked her forehead and finally remembered.
”That's right!” Ye Yanxi nodded. When she just entered the mall, she still felt full of fighting spirit and wanted to stroll around until her legs went weak. However, she felt that the mall was very stuffy and couldn't breathe.
”Are you for real?” It's actually really her! ” Only then did She Chuyan react, ”She really has a disposition, much more beautiful than what she looks like on TV. Oh right, how do you know her?”
Ye Yanxi smiled, ”I've seen her in the CEO's office. They've been engaged before.”
The CEO, wasn't that Xiao Yu? She Chuyan was intelligent to begin with, and upon hearing what Jin Yan had said, she became suspicious, ”Xixi, didn't she say she would buy a watch for her lover? ”Could it be …”
Ye Yan Xi pretended not to care as she shrugged her shoulders, ”Maybe it's for the CEO.”
Even though she had disguised herself well, She Chuyan still saw a trace of loneliness on Ye Yanxi's face and couldn't help but be worried in her heart, ”Xixi, you … Is everything okay? ”
”What's the matter with me?” Ye Yan Xi's voice rose as she took a deep breath. She felt that the shopping mall had become even more stuffy, ”How about we go out and have a drink? I'm so thirsty, and I feel that the shopping mall is a bit hot. It's not comfortable at all.”
Whether it was the shopping mall or her heart, Ye Yanxi didn't want to think too much about it.
”Alright, I just happen to be thirsty. I was just about to tell you.” She Chuyan clapped her hands, then pulled Ye Yan and Xi Lin out of the shopping mall.
They found a café, sat down for a while, then went shopping, but all afternoon, Ye Yan Xi couldn't lift her spirits.
In the evening, their spirits waned and they prepared to go to dinner.
As soon as he walked out of the mall, he bumped into two people coming towards him. It could be said that they were enemies on a narrow path.
The ones walking in from outside the mall were Chu Beize and his fiancee, He Man.
He Man wore a light green knee-length skirt and white high-heeled shoes, while Chu Beize wore a white shirt with dark blue pants. He was holding onto Chu Beize's arm, and the two of them looked like a couple in deep love.
She saw Chu Beize first, then saw him appear together with He Man, her face changed, and she was about to charge forward.
When she realized what He Chuyan wanted to do, Ye Yanxi grabbed her to prevent her from doing something impulsive.
At the same time, Chu Beize also saw them.
A trace of awkwardness flashed across Chu Beize's face. He then looked at Ye Yan Xi and He Chu Yan with a wary expression, as if he was afraid that they would reveal the past in front of his fiancee.
She Man was also a smart person. She saw something strange on their faces.
”What is it? Do you know Beize? ” She Man raised her face with a face full of arrogance, and looked at Ye Yan Xi and He Chu Yan.
”Of course I recognize him. Even if he had changed her face, I would still be able to recognize him!” She Chuyan squinted her eyes and smiled sarcastically.
”Beize, how come I've never heard you mention these two ladies before?” She Man looked straight at Chu Beize.
Chu Beize's expression returned to normal, ”Oh, they are my old classmates, I just met them a few times.”
”So that's how it is!” She Man let out a sigh of relief and smiled, ”Don't tell me that one of these two people had a girlfriend?”
”How could that be?” Chu Beize immediately retorted, his expression did not change, but he still forced a smile, ”You know, I've never been in a relationship before, where did my ex-girlfriend come from?”
”Even if we talk about it, there's nothing much to talk about. But I don't want the past to affect our future lives. ”
”How could that be? How would it affect us in the future? Oh right, didn't you say you wanted to see the clothes?” ”Then let's go up.”
”Yes.”
She Man walked ahead, her heels making a crisp sound on the marble floor. Chu Beize immediately followed behind her.
After the two of them left, Ye Yan Xi could still hear Chu Beize saying something, ”Manman, look at the development of the western suburbs. I hope you can tell Uncle He and ask him to give me some advice.”
In the western suburbs, Ye Yanxi knew that this was the project that Chu Beize was responsible for.
Looking at the two of them walking away, He Jieyan stomped his feet, ”Chu Beize is a scum, from what he said just now, he can't wait to get rid of us. What junior, you think you are trying to keep him busy, who do you think you are? If you didn't stop me, I would have gone up and slapped him. And that fiancée, her eyes are almost on the top of his head.
After speaking about She Man, Ye Yan Xi looked at the back view of the two. She Man had tied up her hair, so she could clearly see that cinnabar mole.
She was sure Xiao Hong had one there too.
”What are you looking at?” She Chuyan stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Ye Yanxi's eyes.
