On a sunny Sunday morning, in a café, Qian Yi, who was sitting on the sofa by the window, was quite absent-minded, stirring her coffee, and from time to time looking at the glass door of people entering and leaving, until someone walked up to her.

"Dr. Ho. Chii got up and greeted politely.

"Am I late?" Dr. Ho asked lightly.

Qianyi smiled: "No, it's me who came early." ”

Dr. He nodded, glanced at Qianyi again, and sat down gracefully across from her, and then there was silence, a little embarrassed for a while, until the waiter served Dr. He coffee.

In fact, Qianyi didn't understand, she had long known that this meeting would definitely be unpleasant, but she immediately agreed to Dr. He's request to meet, and obediently concealed Nian Qingzhou.

Originally, this Sunday, which was hard-won, she was going to accompany Qianguangyi to participate in the activities of a junior American football club with Nian Qingzhou, but the result was that she released Nian Qingzhou and Qianguangyi's pigeons under the pretext of working overtime, and now she is sitting in this café, anxiously waiting for Dr. He to speak.

"Miss Qian, I'm sorry to bother you, I've heard that you're usually busy. Dr. He took a sip of coffee, but didn't look at Qianyi, just turned his head and admired the street scene outside through the glass on his side.

Qianyi wondered if Dr. He was so disgusted that he didn't want to look at him, and being able to sit with Qianyi at this time was already Dr. He's greatest self-cultivation.

"I didn't ...... Relationship. Qianyi lowered her head and sighed unconsciously, Dr. He came again, and nine times out of ten she still couldn't reassure her, and still insisted that she Qianyi was trying to take Nian Qingzhou off the right track in life.

Dr. He put down the coffee cup and finally cast his eyes on Qianyi's face: "The day before yesterday, our couple had a serious conversation with Qingzhou, wanting to know his views on his career and family. ”

Qianyi smiled at the other party, indicating that she was listening.

"He said that he would continue to stay in Washington to do basic medical research in the future, you know that we are a family of doctors, and Qingzhou's choice did not meet his father's and my expectations, but since it was his choice, we decided to respect it, although we still reserved our opinion. ”

When Dr. He said this, he paused: "I mean, we hope that Qingzhou's career planning is based on his own interests and hobbies, not other factors, that makes him settle for second. ”

This is something else...... Qian Yi knew that Dr. He was clearly referring to herself.

Qianyi didn't want to argue for herself, she didn't think she had such influence, and she didn't believe that Nian Qingzhou would have no opinion, and even her career plan would be influenced by others.

"But when it comes to his future family, Qingzhou is very resistant to the opinions we put forward, Miss Qian, you understand the reason. There was a hint of helplessness and grief in Dr. Ho's eyes.

Qianyi didn't know how to deal with Dr. He's accusations that were not put on the surface, just like when Dr. He first came to him in Washington, D.C., feeling pressured and inexplicably aggrieved.

Doctor He coughed: "Miss Qian, our family is not snobbish and conservative, and in terms of personal conditions alone, Miss Qian and Qingzhou are not unsuitable. ”

Qianyi lowered her head, and her heart jumped involuntarily.

"I heard that Qian Baili passed away a few days ago, and this news is very regrettable. Doctor He suddenly turned the topic to Qianbaili, such a peak and loop, the subtext behind it, Qianyi immediately understood.

"We are scholars, and frankly speaking, what we care about most is reputation," Dr. He said very bluntly: "We never expected Qingzhou's wife to be noble, but at least the family background must be innocent, with all due respect, do you think that the Nian family will tolerate their daughter-in-law, the father is a smuggler, the stepmother lives a debauched life, and there is a half-sister who has been the mistress of a high-ranking official." ”

Qianyi closed her eyes, she really didn't expect that in the eyes of others, she and Qianjia still had such an inseparable connection, and obviously Qianbaili broke off the father-daughter relationship with her, in the eyes of outsiders, it was like it didn't exist at all.

"I'm sorry, I may have been a little heavier, but please think about it from the perspective of us as parents, okay?" Dr. He softened, but always with a sense of both hard and soft.

"Doctor He, the answer I can give is still that Qingzhou and I are just very good friends, you really misunderstood. ”

"Miss Qian," Dr. Ho seemed to be trying to restrain his emotions, "don't tell me that you don't understand the weight of yourself in Qingzhou's mind, what I want to say is that if you really just see Qingzhou as a friend, please let him know your thoughts clearly, okay? Don't let Qingzhou indulge in unrealistic fantasies about you all the time." ”

"Doctor He, Qingzhou is your son," Qianyi felt the need to defend Nian Qingzhou: "He is not as superficial as you describe, he has his own values, and in the field he is engaged in, he is respected by everyone, as for the relationship between me and Qingzhou, it is not as unbearable as you think." ”

Doctor He waved his hand and followed his own train of thought and said: "In fact, aside from the Qian family, Miss Qian is still the identity of Mrs. Xu, even if you and Mr. Xu dissolve their marriage in the future, you still can't get rid of the shadow of the Xu family, if you and my son end up together, what will others say about Qingzhou, have you thought about it, we can't watch the Nian family become the laughing stock of the whole city." ”

At this time, Qianyi bit her lower lip tightly, and she suddenly understood that the biggest reason why Dr. He minded her existence was the word "face", which was really boring.

"Just when I beg you, Miss Qian, to cut off all contact with Qingzhou, we hope that he will marry a girl from the right family and live a normal life like other children of the Nian family. ”

Hearing this, Qianyi was so angry that she laughed, it turned out that in the eyes of Dr. He or Nian's family, Nian Qingzhou's life over the years was actually abnormal.

"Doctor Nian, I will follow your ideas and talk to Qingzhou from the bottom of my heart, but I am sorry that I can't do it, Qingzhou has not done anything wrong, let me hurt him in this way, it is unfair to him or to me, I cherish our friendship with each other," Qian Yichang took a breath: "Actually, why don't you get to know Qingzhou well, he is a very good person, kind to people, loves life, focuses on his career, at least so far, he is very happy." ”

In the end, the words became less and less speculative, so that when Dr. He left the café, Qian Yi could clearly see that she no longer hid her dislike for herself.

Sitting in the café, Qianyi was stunned for a long time, and suddenly wanted to find someone to talk to.

Xiaoyu soon appeared outside the café door, waited for him to sit down opposite Qianyi, and asked, "I received a call from you early in the morning, my God, what happened?" scared me so much that I almost jumped out of bed. ”

Qianyi raised her watch and showed it to Xiaoyu: "It's almost eleven o'clock, are you still sleeping?"

"What if you don't sleep?" Xiaoyu said happily: "I can't find a boyfriend, I'm bored, so I have to meet with Zhou, by the way, do you have any goods in your hand for Dr. Nian's one, send me one!"

Qianyi didn't smile, but leaned back on the sofa chair: "Just now, Qingzhou's mother came to me." ”

"Ah!" Xiaoyu was surprised: "You are too anxious to see your parents so soon, haven't you been too anxious, hasn't Xu Disheng's mess been shaken off yet, be low-key! Xu Disheng is not easy to deal with, don't come back to the door again." ”

Qianyi glanced at Xiaoyu, and when she heard that she was on an empty stomach, she asked the waiter to serve a tiramisu and coffee, and then said, "Doctor He is here to warn me, that is, to keep me away from Qingzhou, it is best to cut him off." ”

Xiaoyu blinked, "Oh": "It turned out to be a stick beating mandarin ducks, what era is this, the old people still play these, acting in period dramas!"

"Actually, it's understandable," Qian Yi smiled at this time: "Who would want such an excellent son to marry a divorced woman with children and a mess in her mother's family in the future, but the problem now is that I have been explaining to her that my son and I are just ordinary friends, and Dr. He just doesn't want to believe it." ”

"That ......" Xiaoyu put his hand on his cheek and said very gossipy: "You always use the guise that you are ordinary friends with Dr. Nian, I don't believe it, there is no little spark between the two of you." ”

Qianyi thought seriously for a long time, she didn't lie about the current way of getting along with Nian Qingzhou, but it can't be denied that she has a good impression of Nian Qingzhou.

The waiter brought tiramisu to Xiaoyu, and then under Qianyi's gaze, Xiaoyu enjoyed scooping a large mouthful of cake with a spoon and stuffing it into her mouth.

"I can't deny that I've been moved. "Qianyi is not prepared to tell that kind of senseless lie.

"I said, as long as it is a woman, you have to be tempted to meet this kind of good man who meets once in a century, and with Xu Disheng's scumbag as a foil, Dr. Nian's image must be even higher. Xiaoyu took another sip of coffee, with a satisfied expression on her face.

"Don't you hear, what I said was that I once moved my heart, and then I let it go, because it's really impossible, or let's put it this way, I met the right man at the wrong time, and I was destined to miss. Chii explained.

Xiaoyu put down the spoon: "Why is it impossible, you are very suitable together?"

Qianyi thought for a while, and said funny: "Do you think that two people can be together if they are suitable?" In the past six years, I have never forgotten that I still have a marriage relationship with another person, and I must abide by the moral bottom line, and a long time ago, Dr. He came to talk to me, her attitude is very clear, she will not accept people like me, since people have been vaccinated, of course I have to retreat. ”

"What kind of person are you!" Xiaoyu immediately shouted dissatisfiedly: "Dr. Nian's mother is really visionless, I think you are a good woman, although sometimes cowardly, sensitive, and like to think cranky." ”
