Novel Full 299 Not my type
“She won’t forgive me, “Han Nanxian answered. There was a sad look in her eyes that he was hiding but failing miserably. The twenty-seven years old Han Nanxian was afraid of meeting twenty-five years old Song Xueyun. She wouldn’t understand why he left and why he never returned because she had everything worth staying there when he had nothing.
“Being old is so boring. I wish I could go back in time, “An Xiulan sighed.
She added, “I miss being silly and young. If I was younger An Xiulan, I would have blamed my mistake on my naivety and youth. But I have been living the life of Ivy for seven years. Like An Xiulan, Ivy doesn’t have the luxury to be naive and silly. I miss my old self. I just want to be An Xiulan again.”
Li Sicheng stared at her and gave her a smile.
“I miss the An Xiulan who was obsessed with pink, glitters and cats, “An Xiulan sadly smiled. She looked at her dark hair that she would die to dye pink again but she knew that the world of a lawyer was cutthroat. No one would take her seriously with pink hair. The world worked like this for a woman. If she dressed too girly, they would not look at her in the same light they looked at a cold and expressionless female attorney. The double standards of an adult world were too common.
The dinner started with the usual dinner and chattering. Jiang Yao teased Han Nanxian and Li Sicheng throughout the entire dinner. After the dinner ended, Jiang Yao gestured to Han Nanxian to follow her to the kitchen to clean up. It was her way of giving alone time to Li Sicheng and An Xiulan.
“Wanna bet?” Han Nanxian asked her as put the dishes in the sink.
“What if I win?” Jiang Yao questioned.
“You will get ten per cent more shares of the lipstick brand you invested in, “Han Nanxian replied. “If I win, you will stop playing cupid between the two of them.”
“They are perfect people, “Jiang Yao said as a matter of fact. “He likes her a lot.”
According to her, An Xiulan and Li Sicheng made a great couple. He was successful, handsome, polished and a complete gentleman.
“And this is the reason why they aren’t perfect together, “Han Nanxian told her.
On the other side, An Xiulan was sitting on the dining table twirling her wine glass when Li Sicheng broke the comfortable silence between them.
“What’s the plan after going back?” Li Sicheng asked her.
“The plan is I have no plan and this is the perfect plan, “An Xiulan smiled at him.
“Han Nanxian is planning to expand to China, “Li Si Cheng said after a while.
“Mr CFO, that’s great news. So, will you be moving to China? It’s not like he will go to China for some reasons no one knows and this means you have to go there, right?” An Xiulan said, her eyes twinkling in the dim light. She was quite excited for him.
“Maybe, “Li Sicheng answered with a smile. “Are you happy that I will be moving back home?”
“Of course, I’m, “An Xiulan replied with a laugh. “When I came to college in Boston, I thought I was alone away from my family and friends. But one day, I stumbled upon you in the cafeteria. It was after six months I found out that we are at the same University. We have been friends for like seven years now. When I will go home, I will miss you all but now there is a probability that you will come home too. This made me happy.”
Li Sicheng stared at her beautiful face and before he could say what he wanted to say to her so bad, she ended up saying, “Classmate, when you go home, don’t forget to look for a girlfriend. You should find a girl now and settle down.”
He didn’t say anything for a long time when he did, “What about you?”
“About me?” An Xiulan laughed. “I am waiting for my love. You know I want a love like movies. I haven’t found it out yet. I wish I could say I found the guy I like.”
Han Nanxian gave a look to Jiang Yao who looked as if she wants to commit murder. She marched out and after putting a smile on her face said, “Seems like you have a type. Tell me between boss and employee which one is closest to your type?”
An Xiulan looked at them for a while and then sighed. “No one. I’m not into dudes all decked up in a suit.”
On the other hand, Han Qian said to his grandson. “This suit will look good on you. You are getting promoted, wear something nice.”
“Yeye, I will get choked into this thing, “Han Zixin said. He put on a black basic shirt on his muscular body. “If I wanted to wear this thing, I would go to business school.”
“This thing that you are wearing is stuck to your biceps and chest and you have the cheek to say that a suit will make you chole in it?” Han Qian asked angrily. “About the business school, I sent you to the music academy and two days later, I knew you ran away from there.”
Han Zixin gave him a look and didn’t say anything. He put out his black leather jacket over the fitted black basic shirt and then moved ahead to wear his pair of black harness boots to match the look.
“Who would think that this man is now the deputy chief of police? You look more like a thug now, “Han Qian grumbled. “People won’t trust a policeman dresser like this.”
“I will see you in the evening, Yeye, “Han Zixin said, putting his black ray bans and leaving the house. He started his Jeep Wrangler and disappeared from the old man’s sight.
