"Ah."
There was a hint of tenderness in He Yichuan's eyes, and he looked a little lazy as he answered calmly.
"Since your relationship has eased, treat her well. Xiaoxi has had a hard time. Your grandfather and I will not joke about your marriage." Seeing the tenderness flashing in his cold-hearted son's eyes, the head of the He family believed him a little more and spoke slowly.
He Yichuan lowered his eyes slightly, rubbed the teacup with his fingertips, and said in a clear and gentle voice: "Yeah, I know."
Mrs. He expanded her selection from clothes to shoes and accessories. "Keep this pair of high heels, this necklace, and this pair of earrings." She looked at Su Xi as she spoke. "Xiao Xi, you will wear this outfit when the time comes, okay?"
"The heads of all the major families and the Chu Qiao of the noble families will come to celebrate your birthday. You and Xiaochuan have been married for half a year and have never announced it to the public. Grandpa Xiaochuan has asked us to formally introduce you to everyone at the birthday banquet."
Mrs. He gave careful instructions, worried that the young man might not understand things, and took the initiative to say, "Also, your uncle and I are also your parents, remember not to call them by the wrong names."
Although Mr. He has retired, his prestige still remains due to his long experience in officialdom. The various aristocratic families will not miss this opportunity. If they make a fool of themselves at the banquet, it will be the He family's loss of face.
Mrs. He continued to focus her eyes on Su Xi, and gently reminded her: "Just follow Xiaochuan at the banquet. If you don't understand something, ask him. You are husband and wife."
Mrs. He looked at Su Xi. Although she was not satisfied with her son's marriage, since it had already begun, she hoped that they could take it seriously. From a mother's perspective, she had a daughter. She didn't know much about Su Xi's situation, but after hearing the old man's advice, she couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for her.
Su Xi saw the dignified and elegant woman in front of him giving serious instructions, and for a moment he didn't know what to say, so he responded softly: "Okay."
After choosing the clothes, Mrs. He took Su Xi to carefully introduce the famous families in the political, military and business circles of Beijing, and did not stop until dinner.
After dinner, Su Xi saw that He Yichuan had no intention of leaving, and guessed that he would most likely stay overnight in the old house. After saying hello to them, she went upstairs to He Yichuan's room.
His room is very big, it is a suite, which combines study, dressing room and bedroom.
Next to the bedroom, near the balcony, a small tea room is separated by a hollow screen, and with generous and elegant fabric decorations, the whole room is unique.
Su Xi leaned on the balcony with her hands, enjoying the cool breeze. The breeze ruffled her hair. She felt safe and comfortable. She closed her eyes and her mind calmed down.
Due to the unexpected incident at noon, He Yichuan knocked on the door before pushing it open, but he didn't see anyone when he looked around.
When I got closer to the window, I saw her standing on the balcony.
Su Xi heard his footsteps and turned back, "Come up?"
"Ah."
He Yichuan walked over to her, put his hands on the railing, and looked downstairs. The yard was brightly lit.
"Grandpa's 80th birthday party is in a week. How about you come back with me then?" After a moment of silence, He Yichuan turned his gaze to her and asked.
The question came suddenly and Su Xi was not prepared for a moment.
He Yichuan asked this, obviously asking them what the next step should be.
Now that he had asked, he obviously wanted to be sure of the answer.
She frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then stared at him with clear eyes, "He Yichuan, once it is announced, you will have no way out."
He is different from her. She has no relatives around her, so it doesn't matter who she marries or how many times she marries. No one cares, and she doesn't have anyone to care about. On the contrary, the family power behind him is more helpful to her.
But He Yichuan is different. As a member of a large family in Beijing with a long lineage, the marriage of the heir of the He family is the focus of close attention from all major families.
Once it is announced, it will cause an uproar. It is best for him to keep their marriage silent. Even if they divorce one day, he does not need to explain too much to the outside world.
He Yichuan was silent for a long time, then looked at her and said seriously, "Su Xi, at the beginning we agreed to get married, but the prerequisite was that we had nothing to do with each other. But what happened last night has happened, and we can't be the same as before."
Su Xi remained silent. She understood what He Yichuan meant. At the beginning, he respected her only because of the requirements of his elders and the agreement signed between them.
The words of the elders can be violated at any time and the agreement can be terminated. But once it is announced, everything will be different. She will no longer just have a title, but the wife of the heir of the He family and the future mistress of the house. Can she really do the job?
He Yichuan looked at her with deep eyes, "What do you think?"
This marriage was a combination of chance, and he had never thought of starting a family so early, so he proposed an agreement, she accepted it, and they lived in peace.
But it couldn't be the same now, he had a strong sense of territory and she was already his.
To be very realistic, she was listed as his wife in his household registration book, and they had been in perfect harmony and love with each other. It was impossible for things to be the same as before.
Su Xi knew she couldn't avoid it. She was the one who started the topic. After thinking quickly, she replied softly, "I don't know. You know my identity is a bit troublesome."
"Are you hesitating because of your identity?"
"There are some reasons, which are quite tricky." Hearing her answer, He Yichuan's eyes softened a little and he breathed a sigh of relief. He was worried that something unexpected would happen again after he had just finished talking to his father.
"Are you still in touch with them?"
"No, they haven't seen me, and now I have changed my identity." Su Xi answered after thinking about it. In her previous life, she was exposed while looking for her biological parents, which led to her death. She didn't plan to look for them again in this life.
The family is living a good life, there is no need to disturb them. Family ties are shallow and once lost, they are gone. She originally planned to live alone in the country, but now that He Yichuan asked her, she hesitated.
He Yichuan tapped his fingertips on the railing and whispered, "Dad and I will make arrangements for the follow-up."
Su Xi was stunned. She didn't expect him to take on everything. Her own strength was naturally insufficient. If the He family intervened to solve the problem, it would be different.
"Thank you."
The relationship was forced by her, but the man had a strong sense of responsibility and accepted everything.
"Su Xi, I'm not saying this to make you feel burdened. I'm saying this because I hope you can start to face our relationship squarely."
He Yichuan looked at Su Xi's calm face and saw a trace of surprise on it. He touched the cold club surface with his long fingers on the railing and said slowly, "It's okay, take your time."
