Chapter 2044: 2043 Still Worried?
Jing Xiaocha gave a gentle smile, “No disturbance at all, I’ve already turned off my computer.”
“I wanted to call you earlier, but I was afraid of interrupting your work, so it ended up being this late.”
Ou Yihan explained over the phone, but Jing Xiaocha pondered silently in her mind, why was she calling?
Could it be something Zhang Minghui said this morning that made Ou Yihan misunderstand and have some thoughts?
With that in mind, Jing Xiaocha apologized first, “Sister Ou, this morning Little Hui was just babbling nonsense, please don’t misunderstand. Brother Wen is like a brother to me, and he always treats me like a little sister.”
Ou Yihan’s crisp laughter came through the phone waves, “Xiaocha, Wen Jin already explained it to me, so stop worrying. I wouldn’t misunderstand a child’s words. How could Wen Jin be involved with me and willing to go on vacation for my birthday if there was anything between him and you?”
“As long as Sister Ou doesn’t misunderstand. If Little Hui’s words upset Sister Ou and Brother Wen, I would be seen as a sinner through the ages.”
“You’re making it sound so serious. Do I seem like a petty person?”
Ou Yihan teased over the phone.
Jing Xiaocha quickly responded, “Of course not.”
“But Little Hui’s words today did make me think of something.”
Jing Xiaocha was taken aback, “Sister Ou, what is it?”
“You’re a university graduate now, and I’ve heard from Wen Jin that you haven’t got a boyfriend yet. Xiaocha, I have a childhood friend who is definitely a reliable man, and you’ve met him before.”
“Sister Ou…”
Just as Jing Xiaocha began to speak, Ou Yihan interrupted her, “I talked to Wen Jin about it, and he also agrees that you should find a boyfriend. Xiaocha, how about I introduce you to Shi Tian someday? You’re like a sister to Wen Jin, and he surely won’t be at ease as long as you’re single.”
Jing Xiaocha’s nose suddenly stung.
The sour feeling she barely suppressed in her heart instantly surged up.
Is Brother Wen still not reassured?
I’ve already said, liking him is my own business, and I won’t disturb him.
Is it really because of what Little Hui said today?
Could it be that Brother Wen thinks those things were what I had Little Hui say on purpose?
So, is he in such a rush to find me a boyfriend, to prevent me from disturbing their happiness?
After Ou Yihan finished speaking, she couldn’t hear Xiaocha’s voice, so she called out with concern, “Xiaocha?”
Jing Xiaocha pressed her lips together tightly, her moist eyes looking at the little clay figure on the small table.
If finding a boyfriend is really what it takes to put Brother Wen’s mind at ease.
“Alright, since it’s a childhood friend of Sister Ou, he must be dependable.”
“Of course he’s trustworthy, Xiaocha. Let me know when you’re available.”
Ou Yihan hadn’t expected Jing Xiaocha to agree so readily; she thought she would have to persuade her.
“I need to take Little Hui to school tomorrow morning, but I’m free in the afternoon.”
If finding a boyfriend is the goal, then there’s no point delaying.
“Alright, I’ll inform Shi Tian that you two will meet tomorrow afternoon.”
Ou Yihan spent a moment praising Shi Tian over the phone before ending the conversation with Jing Xiaocha.
After hanging up, she hummed a tune in high spirits.
Finding Shi Tian’s number in her contacts, she was about to dial out when suddenly she changed her mind and decided to call Wen Jin first.
The last time she proposed introducing Shi Tian to Jing Xiaocha, Wen Jin rejected it. Although he didn’t reject it this morning, he wasn’t too supportive either.
But now it was all good, as Xiaocha had happily agreed.
“Hello.”
After a few rings, Wen Jin’s gentle and calm voice came through. Ou Yihan’s face lit up with a bright smile, and she asked in a cheerful tone, “Wen Jin, are you asleep?”
“No.”
Hearing the excitement in Ou Yihan’s words, a hint of puzzlement crossed Wen Jin’s brow.
He stood up from the sofa, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, pulled back the curtain, and looked out at the silent night sky.
Ou Yihan’s voice was filled with excitement over the airwaves, “Wen Jin, I have some good news for you.”
“Oh, what good news?”
Wen Jin raised an eyebrow slightly, a tinge of amusement in his voice.
“Didn’t I mention this morning that I’d introduce Xiaocha and Shi Tian? I just called Xiaocha about it, and she agreed.”
Wen Jin was slightly startled.
Jing Xiaocha agreed?
Before he could speak, Ou Yihan’s voice came through again, “Xiaocha also mentioned she has time tomorrow afternoon after taking Little Hui to school in the morning. Wen Jin, I have a feeling, Xiaocha and Shi Tian will work out. Do you think that’s good news?”
“Have you asked Shi Tian yet?”
Wen Jin asked lightly, still a bit uneasy.
“Not yet, I wanted to give you a call first to share the good news with you. I’ll call Shi Tian shortly and ask him to make time to meet Xiaocha tomorrow afternoon.”
“How many times has Shi Tian been in a relationship before?”
Drawing his gaze back from the night sky, Wen Jin asked calmly after a brief silence.
“Ah?”
Ou Yihan didn’t immediately respond but answered after two seconds, “Shi Tian has only been in one relationship, but he got hurt and hasn’t dated since. Rest assured, he’s not a playboy with a wandering heart.”
“Alright, arrange their meeting then.”
Wen Jin was silent for another moment before finally responding.
“Xiaocha is just starting to meet potential partners, and you’re already worried. If she ever gets married, you would be even more worried. Wen Jin, did you give Mo Xiuchen a hard time when Ranran got married?”
Ou Yihan had been studying abroad for several years, unaware of what had transpired in G City over the years.
Though she’d known Wen Jin for a few months, she wasn’t familiar with the stories of Wen Ran and Mo Xiuchen.
All she knew was that the couples in their circle were very happy, something she envied greatly.
From her times dining with Wen Jin and Wen Ran, it was clear that Wen Jin was exceptionally good to Wen Ran, his sister.
When Ou Yihan brought it up, Wen Jin recalled how Ranran had been forced to marry Mo Xiuchen to save the pharmaceutical factory after their parents’ passing while he was in a coma.
Regardless of how well Mo Xiuchen treated her later, accepting the marriage was a moment where Ranran felt utterly helpless.
His grip on the phone tightened slightly, his thin lips forming a determined line, “Ranran’s situation was different.”
His voice carried a tone that couldn’t disguise its roughness.
Even across the phone, Ou Yihan could sense his unease.
Ou Yihan’s voice, filled with three parts concern, two parts apology, and one part confusion, came through, “Wen Jin, what’s wrong? Did I say something inappropriate? Or are you still uneasy about Xiaocha meeting Shi Tian? If you’re truly worried, I can tell Xiaocha to cancel and not introduce them.”
