Chapter 998: Xu Che’s Side 10 – Is it Because Daddy Won’t Allow You to Have a Girlfriend?
“You haven’t been home since last night?”
“I wasn’t allowed to drive to the location last night, so I parked my car near your house and found it up for sale this morning,” Xu Che explained simply. “I thought you had slipped away.”
Xiao Yi blushed and said, “I just wanted a change in environment.”
“I heard it just now… so I asked you to come to my house.”
The shop assistant looked at the two of them, then quietly stepped aside, leaving the space for the two of them.
“If you do this, people will think that we are together.”
“You don’t have to be so nervous. I will collect rent!” Xu Che put one hand in his pocket and smiled at Xiao Yi. “Here are the keys. I’ll send the address to your phone later. You can go and take a look if you have time.”
“Okay… okay…” Thinking about it carefully, Xiao Yi didn’t seem to have any reason to refuse.
“See you tonight then.” Seeing that Xiao Yi didn’t refuse, Xu Che put down the key and pushed the door open to leave.
Xiao Yi looked at the key and soon received the address from Xu Che.
However, looking at the phone screen, she felt that things shouldn’t be developing in that direction.
She hadn’t recovered from the pain of a man from before, and now she was about to get involved with another?
Xiao Yi felt that this was unfair to Xu Che and irresponsible to herself.
Right now, she had a pile of flaws, and she didn’t want to appear in Xu Che’s life in this way.
So, Xiao Yi made a sudden decision.
..
Today was Christmas Eve, and it was Mu Qiqi’s birthday.
Xu Che got off work early, but when he went home, he didn’t see Xiao Yi as he had hoped.
Then, he turned around and went to the dessert shop.
When the shop assistant saw him, she quickly took out the key and a letter that Xiao Yi had left for him.
“I’m sorry, Xu Che. I think I am unable to accept your invitation because stability isn’t what I need right now. I want to go out and see things. I want to know what beautiful things are hidden in the time I’ve wasted all these years. I also want to become a better version of myself, so I’m leaving…
“I don’t know which country I’m going to, and I don’t know how long I’ll be gone for, but I’ll remember what you said. I’ll think of a way to make my life more real.”
After reading the letter, Xu Che put it away and looked at the key in his hand. He looked a little helpless.
“Special Assistant, this is the gift the store manager left for you. She said, ‘Happy Christmas Eve.'”
The store assistant handed the Santa Claus cake that Xiao Yi had prepared before she left to Xu Che.
Actually, this result was within Xu Che’s expectations.
It was because Xiao Yi was an independent girl. It was just that in the past, she had lost her way due to the trauma.
Since this was her choice, then let him see what kind of transformation she would undergo.
..
For the next six months, Xu Che never saw Xiao Yi. He didn’t even hear from her.
He still went to her dessert shop often, even though the tastiness of the pastries had greatly dropped after Xiao Yi left.
He still logged into the game occasionally to see if Xiao Yi would get bored and go online. However, Xiao Yi had completely disappeared, so the avatar frame in his friend list remained dark. Ever since she left, it had never lit up again.
From then on, Xu Che’s life returned to normal.
Mu Qiqi and Sheng Xiao found this strange.
Could it be that he was just trying to encourage girls out of kindness?
“Xu Che, half a year has passed. Shouldn’t you bring the next girl to see my autopsy?” Mu Qiqi had once asked Xu Che indirectly. Could it be that he really wanted to be a bachelor for the rest of his life?
“I don’t have anyone I like now.” Xu Che wasn’t intentionally waiting for Xiao Yi. He just felt that there was still some connection between the two of them.
“Uncle Xu, Tang Xiaobao already has a girlfriend. Why don’t you have a girlfriend?”
Little Qi sat on the sofa and asked Xu Che as she chewed on her bread.
And the Tang Xiaobao she was talking about was Tang Yan’s baby.
“That’s because Xiaobao is amazing.”
“Is it because Daddy won’t allow you to have a girlfriend?” Little Qi asked innocently.
After Mu Qiqi heard this, she suddenly felt that her daughter had inherited more from her.
“It’s because Uncle hasn’t met the right person yet.”
“What about my mommy? Uncle Xu, let my mommy be your girlfriend. That way, no one will snatch Daddy away from me!”
Mu Qiqi and Xu Che were speechless.
“Little Qi, I think this is a good suggestion. Why don’t you tell Daddy when Daddy comes back?” Mu Qiqi deliberately set a trap.
She wanted Master Xiao to give her daughter the silent treatment!
“Okay, okay…” Little Qi did not realize that this was “love” from her mother. She was just happy that she could take over Daddy.
Xu Che did not know whether to laugh or cry, so he found an excuse to leave Banyan Courtyard.
For someone like the young madam, Sheng Xiao was the only one who could understand her scheming heart…
As for him, he should just stay single.
..
After returning to this place after half a year, Xiao Yi felt as if a lifetime had passed.
When she appeared at the entrance of the dessert shop again, her staff actually did not recognize her at first glance. They even thought that she was a customer. “I’m sorry, our shop is already closed!”
“So, when I’m not around, you guys are like this.” Xiao Yi crossed her arms and looked at them.
Then, she saw their surprised gazes.
“Oh my God, Store Manager!”
“Is that you? Store Manager? You lost weight, and you even know how to dress up.”
The Xiao Yi in front of them was no longer that chubby little fatty. She had lost a lot of weight. Moreover, because she had become beautiful after losing weight, she had become much more confident.
“Store manager, quickly tell me, what happened to you during these six months?”
At this moment, Xiao Yi was wearing a long white dress with suspenders. She looked fashionable and somewhat intellectual.
She had indeed changed her appearance. She was no longer the Xiao Yi who was afraid of the darkness that was men.
“If you want to hear a story, you have to wait for me to sit down first, right?”
Xiao Yi rolled her eyes. She had long expected that when she returned to the shop, it would definitely cause a stir.
In the past six monthgs, she had traveled to twenty-three countries and had been volunteering non-stop.
It was also because of her busy schedule that she had unknowingly lost weight. It had never been intentional.
“Store Manager, are you leaving again?”
Xiao Yi shook her head. “I’m tired from walking. I want to rest.”
“Did you contact Special Assistant Xu in the past six months?” The store assistant asked again.
This time, Xiao Yi didn’t answer because she didn’t know how to answer.
What right did she have to make him wait for her?
