Chris said, “Are you not going to share what happened in China with me? Annie, we grew up together. If you have something on your mind, do you think you can hide it from me?”
Annie looked up at him. “You can tell?”
“Yeah. I’m a man. If I can’t tell when you’re by my side and distracted, then I’m a failure.” Chris said in a soft tone.
Annie hesitated for a moment and said, “I just… miss the friends that I met in China.”
Actually, those were heartfelt words.
She really couldn’t bear leaving the friends she had known in China, friends like Qiqing, Song Shijun, and others. Hanging out with them made her feel very happy.
Of course, the person that she was even more reluctant to leave was… Ye Sijue.
Chris asked jokingly, “Is there a man in the group of people that you can’t bear to part with?”
Although he personally went to China to bring her back, he only used her location to find her. He did not know the people she had met when she was in China.
Of course, it wouldn’t be difficult if he wanted to know.
But he respected her privacy, so he hadn’t investigated it as he wanted to hear it directly from her.
Annie paused for a moment. Then she nodded and said, “Yes.”
She thought for a moment and added, “There are a few of them. They are all Xiaoxiao’s friends. They are very interesting people.”
It was not the first time that Chris had heard her mentioning Xiaoxiao’s name. He laughed, “It seems like Xiaoxiao is an important friend to you. I want to meet her if it’s possible. Of course, I don’t want to overstep my bounds. I’m just curious as to what kind of girl she is.”
He raised his hands jokingly and said, “Geez. Okay then. I admit that I’m jealous.”
Annie was amused by him. “Why are you jealous of Xiaoxiao?”
Chris suddenly thought of something. “Oh yeah, our engagement is in a couple of days time. Why don’t you invite these friends from China to come?”
“Well…” Annie hesitated. Ye Sijue emerged in her mind.
Inviting Ye Sijue to her engagement dinner?
She thought that this was an extremely bad suggestion.
She couldn’t imagine that situation at all.
Thus, she shook her head and said, “I think we’d better not. Xiaoxiao doesn’t like coming to these kinds of events. Her family is very low-key. Moreover, this is only an engagement, not the wedding.”
Actually, if she were to tell him about Xiaoxiao’s background, Chris would definitely know about it.
“We’ll invite them to the wedding then,” Chris said. Noticing that the wind was getting stronger, he helped to gather her coat around her.
Looking at him only wearing a shirt, she said, “I think we’d better go in.”
Chris laughed, “Are you feeling bad for me? Afraid that I’ll catch a cold?”
“Yeah. If you get sick, then we’ll have to change the star of the show at the engagement dinner.” Annie lightened up and cracked a joke.
Thus, the two got up and went to the ballroom.
Annie was going to take off the coat and return it to him, but Chris declined and told her to get to the ballroom first.
However, just as they reached the door, Annie halted. A pair of gem-like, dark blue eyes widened in astonishment.
Up ahead, Ye Sijue was holding hands with a beautiful and alluring woman.
