The Liu household’s outdated home.
He Jianxun poured himself a glass of wine then sat down on the bar.
He didn’t drink it simply then nonetheless. As a substitute, he shook his glass then requested the individual subsequent to him with a smile, “Bohuai, why do you retain inviting me out to drink?”
“It’s best to inform me this time what’s been bothering you proper?”
Nonetheless when Liu Bohuai heard his phrases, his hand that was lifting his glass paused for a second, then he continued to drink silently, shaking his head with furrowed brows.
There was clearly one thing he was vexed about, but he couldn’t say it out loud simply.
He Jianxun was puzzled– with the best way issues had been, what precisely may hassle Liu Bohuai?!
He grew to become much more curious.
However since Liu Bohuai didn’t communicate, he couldn’t do something however shrug his shoulders and proceed to drink.
A small bar had been put in within the nook of the lounge.
And reverse it was a liquor cupboard, its clear glass reflecting two figures clearly.
Wanting over, Liu Bohuai noticed his personal reflection within the mirrored glass of the cupboard.
Then, closing his eyes midway, he abruptly opened his mouth, asking in a faint voice, “Am I good-looking?”
“Pff– cough cough, what did you, cough….. what did you say?!”
He Jianxun instantly sprayed a mouthful of wine, his eyes widening in disbelief as he checked out his greatest buddy.
Was this one thing that had come out of the mouth of the Third Grasp of the Liu household?!
No manner proper…. had there been a ringing in his ears for a second or had he been listening to issues?
“Bo, Bohuai, what did you say simply now?” He Jianxun requested once more, wanting to substantiate.
Liu Bohuai checked out him coldly then stated, “Overlook it in case you didn’t hear me. Simply clear the bar.”
On the lookout for a tissue, He Jianxun wiped the wine that had spilled on high of the bar away.
As he labored, he couldn’t assist however marvel, “I heard you, I heard you…. cough, are you actually Liu Bohuai? You haven’t been changed by another person, have you ever?”
As quickly because the phrases had been out of his mouth, he obtained one other chilly glare.
It had been confirmed, this was his unsociable buddy.
Sitting again in his chair, He Jianxun leaned in, asking in a involved tone, “Bohuai, what precisely has been bothering you?”
“How come the extra I look, the extra one thing doesn’t appear proper?”
Not simply not proper, the query he had requested earlier wasn’t one thing his greatest buddy would ask.
He Jianxun gave him a thumbs up, smiled then complimented exhausting, “Your look is impeccable, one in 1,000,000, even I can’t examine to you. So, what’s the matter?”
“Fast, inform me, let me have a very good giggle.”
Liu Bohuai put his glass down with a chilly expression on his face.
“Haha, I’m simply kidding, simply kidding. It’s so I may help you. Perhaps I may even offer you some concepts.” He Jianxun instantly laughed dryly.
Liu Bohuai frowned then requested after some time, “What do the ladies you’ve dated see in you?”
He Jianxun thought again subconsciously, stroking his chin as he did so, “Cash and wealth, gentleness, generosity and naturally, an important factor is that I’m good-looking, good trying, younger and have numerous belongings.”
“What’s extra, I’m not a frail outdated man in his seventies or eighties. They received’t lose out being with me.”
“Moreover, even when we break up, they will nonetheless get quite a lot of advantages from me, one thing which could be thought of as a breakup payment.”
Briefly, date usually, then breakup peacefully.
In fact, aside from a number of persistent pursuers.
Considering up so far, He Jianxun abruptly realized one thing.
His head turning abruptly, he checked out Liu Bohuai with a shocked and incredulous expression, “Why are you asking me this query?”
“Don’t inform me you…. somebody has taken a liking to you and has been pestering you latterly?”
The wine Liu Bohuai was pouring virtually spilled a little bit when he heard this.
Lifting his head, he checked out He Jianxun with an indescribable look in his eyes.
Oblivious, He Jianxun continued to guess, feeling increasingly that what he was saying was proper, “Who has the braveness to pursue you want this? That individual is simply too courageous!”
“She is completely an impressive lady, I like her!”
“Bohuai, is the individual pursuing you a daughter of one in every of Aunt Xia’s acquaintances, that’s why you’ll be able to’t reject her fully?”
“Or is it that Aunt Xia has lastly remembered to unravel your downside of being single for thus a few years and compelled you to go on a blind date?”
Liu Bohuai: “….. you’re considering an excessive amount of.”
He Jianxun: “No, I don’t suppose I’m considering an excessive amount of.”
“After ending this glass, get misplaced.”
“You’re kicking me out once more; I’m not leaving!”
Shaking his head, Liu Bohuai drank his wine sullenly.
Seeing his buddy’s look, He Jianxun felt that he was virtually there together with his guesses and that he was just one step away from the reality.
Not asking anymore questions, he simply accompanied Liu Bohuai in ingesting.
After some time, he requested, abruptly remembering one thing, “Proper, Bohuai, is your second brother’s household going to settle in Yanjing for a very long time and never return abroad?”
Liu Bohuai nodded, “En.”
He Jianxun picked his glass up, a considerate expression on his face in addition to a touch of disaffect in his voice as he stated, “I virtually thought they had been going to remain overseas for the remainder of their lives, however it appears they will’t bear to surrender….”
Though the remainder of the sentence wasn’t acknowledged explicitly, each males understood what it meant.
“Again then, your second brother’s household went overseas due to Liu Jizhen’s choice. Now that they’re returning to settle, it may’t be that it’s her choice as nicely, proper?”
Though Liu Jizhen regarded elegant and noble, her ideas had been something however easy.
Beforehand, they’d lived overseas, not removed from Aunt Xia’s place.
And from what He Jianxun knew, Liu Jizhen could possibly be stated to have tried to please Xia Qingwan in each manner doable.
She would go to Aunt Xia virtually each day.
However in a while, Aunt Xia appeared to desire peace and located Liu Jizhen annoying, so she modified to visiting solely each few days or as soon as per week.
As for why she needed to please Xia Qingwan, all of it needed to do with Father Li’s choice.
After Liu Zhouhe, the eldest of the Liu household handed away, Father Li handed the Liu household to Liu Bohuai as a substitute of his second son Liu Jingyuan, earlier than he died.
–It had been acknowledged clearly within the will.
