Chapter 14 Door-to-door Proposal?
Shen Mi sighed speechlessly.
This kind of thing, do the two of them say no-okay in private? In front of his own soldiers, can't he save some face for himself?
I wanted to refuse altogether, but listening to Chen Ming excitedly coaxing on the side, she couldn't say anything except laughing nothingly.
All the way to the door of the house in silence, Xi Lie thoughtfully helped her out of the car.
"You haven't answered my question yet." He asked.
Shen Mi smiled helplessly, "You...... Have you ever liked someone else? ”
"My youth and passion are all dedicated to the country." Xi Lie looked at her with burning eyes and replied truthfully.
"When you have experienced the ups and downs of love, you will no longer want to be impulsive and compromised." She sighed and said earnestly.
Xi Lie blinked, as if thinking about what she said.
"Well, let's start with you."
After a long silence, he spoke.
“...... You're too casual! She was dumbfounded and couldn't help but complain.
"I'm not married, you are not married, why not?" Xi Lie raised his eyebrows and asked seriously.
She knew that she was no match for him, so she waved at him quickly and went home.
Shen Jie was watching TV in the living room, humming a little song, she seemed to be in a very good mood, and when she came back, she also stood up with a smile and greeted her.
"I'm back! Have you eaten? ”
Shen Mi was a little flattered.
I have the impression that after graduating from high school, Shen Jie has never given her such a good face. Originally, she didn't want her to continue her college because of the high expenses, but she gritted her teeth and survived on the scholarship.
"Eat." She replied truthfully.
"Would you like some fruit?" Shen Jie asked again.
Truth be told, the sudden enthusiasm stressed her down, she shook her head, laughed dryly, and hid in the house.
"When will you bring that boyfriend back to meet?" Shen Jie smiled again and followed.
Boyfriend?!
"I broke up a long time ago, where did I get my boyfriend?" Shen Mi was stunned, could it be that even her aunt knew about her past with Qiao Xizhe?
"What's the split, my father came to the house today to discuss the marriage! It's grown up, isn't it, and the wings are stiff, right? Do you want to hide such a big thing? Shen Jie said, patting her on the shoulder.
"Father? Whose father?!! Shen Mi is completely in the clouds now, and she doesn't know what happened in the short half day she went out.
"You're still pretending to be with me!" Shen Jie glanced at her with disgust, "Say it's the surname Xi!" ”
Mat......
There was a thunderclap in her head, and she was so shocked that she couldn't speak for a while.
Could it be that Xi Lie's father is here??
This big family, still with a division of labor and cooperation?!
"I look like a big family, okay, you, you don't have to worry about food and clothing when you marry in the future, give them a big fat boy, be a young grandmother, and our Zihao can still follow a little light!" Shen Jie said, looking at her with bright eyes.
"Auntie, it's not what you think...... I ......"
"Oh, my aunt wants you to find a good home, you also know, Zihao has just been employed, his girlfriend is very demanding, and he wants a bride price, and over the years, the savings your father left for you have been almost spent, and I have no ability to support you......" Shen Jie said, she was actually moved and began to wipe her tears, which made Shen Mi busy for a while.
"Auntie, I'll go out first!!" Shen Mi had a headache, grabbed his small pillow and rushed out in a hurry.
No, she can't let things go like this anymore! She has to make it clear today!!
That big family, including their own family, has a big misunderstanding!
If it goes on like this, if you get the ducks on the shelf, the game will be over......
I wanted to call Xi Lie, but after thinking about it, he seems to be stunned now, and his mind is full of marriage, and when he goes to Xi's house with him for a while, he may be pitted into the ditch again!
Thinking about it, she put away her mobile phone, took a taxi and went straight to the Xi family's old house.
When she arrived at the door, the security guard opened the door with great discernment, and she went all the way unimpeded.
Unlike yesterday, the old house is quite quiet today.
"Miss Shen, you're here!" When a middle-aged woman saw her, her eyes were happy, and she quickly greeted her.
"Well, what about uncle and aunt?" Shen Mi looked around, but he didn't see them.
"They went to the city to do something and haven't come back yet, you come in first, the old lady is talking about you!!" The woman said, smiling and leading her to the flowerbed with a veiled face.
Lin Meijuan was lying on the recliner in the gazebo, looking at the flowers in a daze.
"Old lady, Miss Shen is here!" The woman stepped forward and gently prayed, Lin Meijuan's eyes lit up when she heard this, a smile instantly bloomed on her face, and she struggled to sit up, but Shen Mi saw this, so she had to step forward quickly to support her.
"Mom Zhang, go get some drink! Look at Miss Shen's heat! Lin Meijuan's smiling appearance made Shen Mi's words choke in her throat.
This kind old lady is riddled with diseases, if she tells the truth at this time, she will make people unhappy, and if something goes wrong in serious cases, she really can't afford this responsibility!
Besides, she always had some unbearable feelings.
"Come, come, sit, I just talked about you, you came, what a surprise!" Lin Meijuan beckoned her to sit down and patted her hand affectionately.
Shen Mi laughed dryly, sat down next to her stiffly, opened his mouth, and couldn't speak.
"Didn't you go for a prenatal check-up with Lie'er? Why did you come here by yourself? Lin Meijuan blinked and asked suspiciously.
Shen Mi blinked, "He, he said he had something to do......
Lin Meijuan sighed and shook her head.
"He's just busy, he can't go back home a few times a year, he's in his thirties, and he hasn't got married, but he makes me sad! But fortunately, I don't have to worry about it in the future! ”
Shen Mi didn't know how to answer, but just laughed absentmindedly.
"By the way, last time I heard my daughter-in-law say that you are a little interested in embroidery." Lin Meijuan said with a smile.
Not to mention anything else, Shen Mi felt that this old grandmother's embroidery was really good-looking, so she nodded, "Grandma, you are all master-level!" ”
Lin Meijuan was very happy to be praised by her, and beckoned to the maid not far away, "Bring me all my embroidery tools!" ”
So, Shen Mi was fortunate to see someone who once gave insoles to soldiers to show her master-level embroidery.
I saw Lin Meijuan's fingers flying up and down, dexterous as a butterfly, wearing reading glasses, very serious.
"Daughter-in-law Sun, help me thread the needle!"
Shen Mi nodded when she heard this, obediently helped her thread the needle and thread, and waited quietly on the side.
One old and one young, working together seamlessly, after a while, a beautifully composed rose began to take shape.
Shen Mi, who was immersed in the art world, did not realize that his every move had fallen into the eyes of the person who had just returned from outside, but no one could bear to break the harmonious atmosphere.
"Grandma, would you like to take a break?" Shen Mi saw that she seemed to be a little tired, and asked with concern.
"When you're old, you'll be dazzled if you hold on for a while...... If you like it, I'll teach you next time! Lin Meijuan put down the work in her hand and said with a smile.
Shen Mi nodded hesitantly, next time, I don't know if there will be a next time......
"Grandma, I'm back."
Suddenly remembering a familiar voice behind him, Shen Mi stood up quickly, but saw that there was a fair-skinned and gentle woman standing next to Xi Lie, who was smiling lightly, quickly came to Lin Meijuan's side, and called sweetly: "Grandma!" ”
Shen Mi was a little stunned, this was obviously not the woman she saw in the restaurant last time.
This Xi Lie has never been in love, but there are a lot of female companions!
She thought, glancing at him hard.
As if sensing her displeasure, Xi Lie walked over with a smile, grabbed her arm straightly, stared at her with a pair of black eyes as if no one was around, and opened his thin lips lightly.
"Miss me so soon?"
