3828. Li Juexi: He has already moved forward 119
But for some reason, her heart, which she thought would become calmer, became more and more uncomfortable as time passed...
But she was helpless. She chose the road. He followed her path. The two of them walked farther and farther apart. She had no other choice but to accept the embrace of such a stranger...
"I'll go ask the kitchen to prepare lunch." Manwen said calmly with a face as calm as water.
"good."
Li Juexi nodded, turned towards his two daughters, and asked, "Jane, what did the teacher teach you recently?"
"Dance."
"Really? Then you learned it?"
"Learned."
"..."
Manwen stood there, watching the interaction between the father and daughter. He turned his back to her, and the two daughters tried their best to perform in front of him. One danced immaturely, and the other stood on the small bed and twisted around...
She heard Li Juexi's low laughter.
*************************
The maid brought delicious dishes to the table, some high-end French cuisine.
Manwen helped put the knife and fork, and was about to ask the maid to invite Li Juexi to come down for dinner when she heard Li Juexi's voice coming from not far away——
"I have already arrived in Germany. I have prepared all the documents. The company will have a meeting in an hour."
Manwen turned around, and Li Juexi walked into the restaurant, put down the phone in his hand, glanced at her with his dark eyes, and curled up the corners of his lips, "Can you eat?"
His smile didn't reach his eyes, he was just smiling...
"Yeah." She nodded.
After a short dialogue, the two of them had nothing to say.
So many things have changed in three years. This rare reunion has made the two people become more and more strangers, and they also become more and more... respectful to each other.
The maid stepped forward to take off Li Juexi's suit and hung it aside.
Li Juexi sat down at the dining table, glanced at the rich dishes and started eating, then suddenly said, "Get the car ready, I'm going out in a minute."
This was said to the maid.
The maid lowered her head and said, "Yes, I'll get ready right now."
Manwen sat on his left side, eating with him without any taste.
The two daughters prepared lunch separately and did not eat with them.
Silent air, two silent people.
Manwen ate with his head slightly lowered. This angle made it easier for her to watch his eating movements. He ate slowly and elegantly...
"Young Master, today's newspaper." A maid brought the newspaper and placed it on Li Juexi's left side.
Manwen glanced over, then her face froze, and she clenched her hand holding the silver fork.
This maid must have brought the newspaper without even looking at it...
There was also a photo of Li Juexi and a girl getting into the same car. The woman was holding his arm and smiling happily. He only had a back view and could not see his face.
But his back... Manwen is all too familiar with.
Even if it's just in photos, she won't admit it.
"Remove the utensils."
Li Juexi put down his knife and fork, picked up the newspaper and started flipping through it. He glanced at the photo with no expression or words, as if he just saw a photo that had nothing to do with him and casually turned to the financial page...
Of course he had nothing to say.
He probably thought that she couldn't recognize him just from his back, because even the headline above was - [A noble daughter dated a mysterious man late at night].
Pretty good, isn't it?
Three years ago, she hurt his self-esteem again and again. Now, he has moved forward and walked out of the haze she had given him. But for some reason, her heart, which she thought would calm down, became more and more uncomfortable as time passed...
But she was helpless. She chose the road. He followed her path. The two of them walked farther and farther apart. She had no other choice but to accept the embrace of such a stranger...
