Chapter 214
"Downstairs?" Shu Tian subconsciously looked down from the window. Then she realized that the kitchen was not facing the road. She suddenly thought of the low voice just now. She timed it and found that he had gone out immediately after receiving her call.
She once believed that he had been deceived, but she didn't expect the man to go downstairs directly without telling her.
A lump coming into her throat, Shu Tian didn't know what to say. Seemingly understanding her feeling, Li Han said calmly, "Come down. I'll wait for you."
After hanging up, Shu Tian poured water into the thermos. Out of the kitchen, she saw Ye Lihua still sitting in the living room. She took out the garbage bag that she had just tidied up and said guiltily, "Mom, I'll go down to take out the trash and watch fireworks."
Ye Lihua nodded and told her, "Don't go too far. There are few people on the road during the Spring Festival."
"I see."
Out of the house, she quickened her pace down the stairs, making her dizzy. As soon as she rushed out of the unit door, she saw a black car parked under a tree nearby.
Shu Tian trotted over and knocked on the window, signaling him to open the door.
With a click, the central lock fell. She opened the door and went in, instantly surrounded by the heat in the car.
"Why are you here?" She asked in an unbelievable and surprising voice.
Li Han turned to look at her eyes, which were obviously red. He raised his hand to touch it, worried. "Are you crying again in the Spring Festival?"
"No." Shu Tian was a little embarrassed. She pushed his hand away. "I'm not crying."
Li Han ignored her stubbornness and continued, "Are you unhappy with your family?"
"No."
"Then what's wrong?" Seeing that she had been evading an answer, Li Han looked at her seriously in a heavy mood. "Shu Tian, I'm asking you seriously."
Seeing it was impossible to prevaricate, she awkwardly told him what had happened at dinner tonight. Since she was a child, Shu Changlei had always told that domestic shame should not be made public, so it was difficult for her to tell him that.
Li Han was filled with mixed feelings, not furious, nor angry, but sorry for her. If the person was not Shu Tian's aunt, he would definitely make her in trouble. Unfortunately, he couldn't.
"Then take me to meet my parents as soon as possible so that others won't gossip." It was the only and best way to solve these problems.
Shu Tian was annoyed as well. She had thought it was best to let nature take its course, but she forgot that besides herself, her parents were also under pressure for her.
After deliberation, she found that she must face these problems, or the irresponsible behavior would hurt the people around her.
She thought about it and said, "How about the fourth day of the lunar new year? My father has promised you, and if my mother has time to go, I won't stop her, okay?"
"Sure." Li Han had been eager for meeting them for a long time, but he hadn't grasped the chance. "I will go back to China in that afternoon. Nanny Li will also be here. You can call your mother to have dinner. We have enough time."
"Okay, that's settled then."
After saying that, a loud sound came from outside. Then a colorful flame exploded in the dark night. Two distinct colors, yellow and red, intertwined, made up the style of flowers festively and beautifully. The light shone on Li Han's handsome features, as vivid as a beautiful painting.
He was watching fireworks, while she was gazing at him.
Noticing her burning gaze, Li Han lowered his head and looked into her eyes. At that moment, a spark was suddenly lit up, more powerful.
Perhaps it was because the atmosphere was too addictive, or because beauty was in the eyes of the beholder. In Shu Tian's eyes, all the fireworks and scenery were less attractive than the man. From the moment he had appeared downstairs, she could only see him.
How gentle he was! He drove the car for nearly an hour to accompany her, just afraid that she cried alone.
Actually, he also had his own family to accompany on the night of Lunar New Year's Eve. Shu Tian knew that it would be uneasy, but he came without complaint, nor telling her in advance. She felt no aggrieved, just infinitely moved.
"Li Han..." Shu Tian sat up and leaned forward a little, her eyes fixing on every part of his face.
"I'm here." He smiled, showing a moving sincerity. After saying that, he immediately held Shu Tian's face and kissed her. Without hesitation, he took all the initiative.
A kiss was enough for the soul mates.
His warm breath entangled her nose, transforming into the most charming force. Fireworks outside the window bloomed layer upon layer, but at this time, she was not in the mood to appreciate it and just wanted to covet his warm embrace.
"I'll go to the island tomorrow. How can I leave without worry?" He stroked on her heavy coat with his big palm, trying to comfort her.
Hearing that he was leaving tomorrow, Shu Tian unconsciously clenched her hands. "Then come back early on the day. I'll go to find you."
She knew that he needed to relax during the Lunar New Year, and she couldn't give him more accompany. It was good for him to have a good time abroad.
Li Han lowered his head and gave a gentle kiss on her head. "Call me whenever you need. If I can't come back, I can ask someone else to handle it. Don't hold on by your own, okay?"
Shu Tian didn't want to worry him, so she nodded obediently. "Okay."
Then she thought of something again. "By the way, is Jiang Chujing really not here?"
Although she had asked him once before, she wanted to make sure.
"She's going back to the villa in the north of the city for the time being. Nanny Li will follow her and Li Wei will take care of her. Everything will be fine."
After receiving a reassuring answer, Shu Tian secretly relieved and threw herself back into his arms. "I'll miss you."
"Remember to give me a video call." Li Han never knew that one day he would be so attached to a person. It was just three or four days, but it seemed that he was going to leave for three or four years. They stayed in the car for a while. It was a little late when Ye Lihua called. Only then did Shu Tian reluctantly say goodbye to him. "I'm leaving?"
"Well, go up." Li Han opened the door for her and didn't forget to ask for a kiss.
This relationship was beyond their imagination. Thinking that they would meet their parents in a few days, Shu Tian fantasized about the style of clothes she would be wearing and kept thinking about the answers to the questions she would be asked.
Shu Tian spent the festival in this uneasy and expectant mood. Time flied. As Ye Lihua visited her relatives and friends, in a blink of an eye, it was the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.
Shu Tian made an appointment with Ye Lihua in advance for 3: 30 pm, and she had planned to go there with her mother, but she didn't expect Shu Changlei to suddenly ask for a following.
It made her even more nervous and she quickly sent a message to Li Han. The man was in confidence and comforted her not to be nervous.
Shu Changlei drove them towards the Imperial Villa. Although she had been here countless times, Shu Tian was more nervous than ever. Looking around the imposing villas, Ye Lihua was a little scared. "Well... it will take Mr. Li lots of money to buy a house here, right?" Before Shu Tian could figure out what to say, Shu Changlei snorted. "Of course! Houses here are worth tens of millions."
Ye Lihua stopped talking. Apparently, she was also very nervous.
Finally, the car reached Li Han's. They got out of the car. Shu Tian walked at the front, about to unlock the door, but the door suddenly opened. Looking up, she saw that it was Nanny Li. Shu Tian paused for a moment and showed a happy expression. "Nanny Li, you came back early?" Unlike her ease, Nanny Li was embarrassed and hesitated in speaking. Before Shu Tian could understand, she saw a beautiful figure.
Jiang Chujing walked to the door with a smile in a housecoat as if she was the hostess. However, the moment she saw Shu Tian's parents, she froze and blinked, looking around them a few times and asking after interrogation. "Who are you two?"
Obviously, Shu Changlei and Ye Lihua were shocked to see another woman here, but since they were sophisticated, Shu Changlei quickly came back to his senses and replied gently, "And you?" Unexpectedly, Jiang Chujing seemed to regard it as a joke. She smiled briefly and pointed at herself. "I'm the girlfriend of the owner of this house."
