Chapter 802: Intercepting Halfway
Editor: Henyee Translations
After Murong Qiao told her Big Brother about An Nuo’s preferences, she saw that the other party had stopped moving. He had probably gone to buy a gift according to her instructions.
Seeing the two of them getting along, Murong Qiao suddenly felt an indescribable strange sense of relief.
Perhaps she would have a sister-in-law soon?
At the thought of this, Murong Qiao glanced at Shen Xi and Ruan Ying, who were standing not far from her. She suddenly couldn’t help but worry for her best friend and her Fourth Brother.
She was not worried about her Big Brother at all. As long as there was any movement, he would definitely take action quickly.
However, when she thought of Shen Xi’s shy personality and her Fourth Brother’s completely unknown feelings, even Murong Qiao didn’t know where to start.
After talking to Murong Chen, Murong Qiao turned around and went back.
Ruan Ying and Shen Xi were standing in front of a set of clothes. On the surface, they pretended to admire it, but in fact, Ruan Ying was covering for Shen Xi and secretly observing from an angle. They were less than half a corridor away from Yan Xiu.
“What’s the point of peeking? Why don’t we go over and greet him?” Murong Qiao walked over and said.
Shen Xi pursed her lips in embarrassment. Clearly, her expression was a little shaken. Her heart was as Murong Qiao had said just now, but she retracted her gaze when she saw Yan Xiu.
She didn’t know if it was because things would turn bad when they reached an extreme, but some time ago, Shen Xi was too enthusiastic about Yan Xiu, but she didn’t receive a response, so she had been a little passive these past few days.
“Let’s go…”
Murong Qiao gave Ruan Ying, who was standing beside Shen Xi, a look, indicating that she should bring Shen Xi over with her.
If these two people didn’t take the initiative, who knew when this would end?
Yan Xiu still didn’t know that his Little Sister was helping him. At this moment, he was still discussing his design concept and many new inspirations with the person from before and was chatting happily.
It was obvious that it was rare for both sides to meet a soulmate today, so Yan Xiu became much more talkative.
“Big Brother, what are you talking about?” Murong Qiao went over and took the initiative to interrupt the conversation.
It was not that she wanted to do this, but if she didn’t take the initiative to speak, based on the intensity of the discussion between Yan Xiu and the other party, who knew when the discussion would end?
Hearing his Little Sister’s voice, Yan Xiu’s lively thoughts paused slightly before he diverted his attention to answer the other party’s question.
“I was just telling Louis about my inspiration—”
When Yan Xiu spoke to his Little Sister, he was clearly still a little unsatisfied, but he still remembered the most basic manners, so he introduced the two sides to each other.
“This is Louis. He once had good results in the university I graduated from. He’s also a fashion designer now.”
“She’s my sister, Murong Qiao. This is Shen Xi and Ruan Ying.”
Yan Xiu’s introduction clearly didn’t contain much information, but just knowing the name was enough for the few of them.
Like Louis’s name, he had a slightly deep foreign appearance. He looked a little like a mixed-race European and Asian. This made his skin fairer, and his facial features were more inclined to the tall and handsome type. When he smiled slightly, it was very easy for him to win the hearts of girls.
“Hello.” The other party was clearly better at socializing than Yan Xiu and had a gentlemanly attitude towards the girls. It was very easy to gain their favor.
Even Murong Qiao felt like a spring breeze when she saw the other party. He was a difficult person to hate.
After Murong Qiao replied, Ruan Ying also introduced herself happily. Only Shen Xi said something slightly calmly and couldn’t help but look at Yan Xiu.
“Miss, I think you look a little familiar.” Louis suddenly sized up Shen Xi seriously and said this, as if it was the most ordinary pick-up line.
Shen Xi originally had a normal impression of the other party, but this time, she couldn’t help but frown.
When Louis noticed the change in the other party’s expression, he hurriedly waved his hand and explained.
“Miss, please don’t misunderstand. I just feel that you really look very familiar with a certain teacher I’ve seen.”
Louis seemed to be recalling something, and then he said a name that was out of tune with uncertainty.
“I think it’s… Teacher Su?”
It was not until he said this name that Shen Xi’s expression changed from disgust to surprise and realization.
“You’re a student taught by my mother, Su Rong?”
Shen Xi knew a little about what had happened before her mother, Su Rong, took over the Shen family. She had once heard many elders in the family mention it, and she also knew a little about her father and mother’s love story.
Before she got married, Su Rong was a teacher at an art university.
When the same name came out of Shen Xi and Louis’ mouths, it was in completely different tones, but it revealed the same meaning.
After hearing that Shen Xi was right, Louis nodded to prove his innocence.
“I once attended her class. It’s really rare to see someone as beautiful as Teacher Su, so I had a deep impression of her.”
Louis scratched his head in embarrassment. “I just didn’t expect to be so fated to meet Teacher Su’s daughter today.”
When he said this, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Actually, the truth of his words was not entirely because Teacher Su Rong was beautiful.
The main reason was that Louis had once liked Teacher Su Rong very much when he was in university. However, at that time, he was still a little boy and it was completely impossible for him to be with the other party. Moreover, Teacher Su Rong was already in a relationship at that time.
But-
Looking at Shen Xi, who looked almost 70 to 80% similar to Su Rong, Louis’s heart suddenly seemed to have returned to his body, manifesting its presence in his chest, making him unable to help but talk more. He even had no intention of continuing the discussion with Yan Xiu.
He roughly understood what it meant to forget friendship when one saw love.
Seeing that the two of them were chatting happily, Ruan Ying, who was standing at the side, hurriedly nudged Murong Qiao with her arm and sensed that something was wrong.
Didn’t they bring Shen Xi to talk to Qiaoqiao’s Fourth Brother? Why was she suddenly intercepted?
Murong Qiao naturally received Ruan Ying’s hint, but—
She glanced at the empty seat beside her. Clearly, after Shen Xi and Louis spoke just now, Yan Xiu had no place to speak. Coupled with the fact that he had been called away by someone just now, it was now only Shen Xi and Louis.
She wanted to help, but these two people were not helping themselves.
On the other side, Shen Xi had already noticed Yan Xiu’s departure.
She turned around to confirm the other party’s movements, but her attention couldn’t help but shift to the content of Louis’s speech in front of her. Out of good upbringing, Shen Xi couldn’t do anything unreasonable and turned around to look for him. At the same time, she was indeed interested in the topic Louis had thrown out.
Her mother, who she usually only associated as serious at home, suddenly heard a completely different Su Rong from others. This made Shen Xi feel very curious and wanted to understand her better.
Louis was really a good conversationalist. He subtly grasped the rhythm of the conversation, so that it didn’t feel too boring. From time to time, he could throw out one or two jokes when the atmosphere was about to turn cold, making people smile and feel relaxed and happy..
