Chapter 1376: Not Because of Sympathy
As she spoke, Chi Xia turned around and looked at Su Chen’s desolated back. She felt terrible and said to Mother Su, “”I’ll be with him on New Year’s Day. Don’t worry.”
She wasn’t making any promises to Mother Su. She was speaking from the bottom of her heart. How could she abandon Su Chen like this?
Inside the house, Su Chen was stunned for a moment when he heard Chi Xia’s words.
She said that he would accompany him?
Were these words deliberately said for others to hear?
Even though she was just saying it casually, he still couldn’t help but want to believe that she would really stay and spend New Year’s Day with him.
...Chi Xia sent Mother Su away and saw Su Chen still standing in the living room. She walked over and hugged his waist, whispering, “”Don’t be unhappy.”
Su Chen lowered his head to look at her. He wanted to ask her if what she had just said was true, but in the end, he didn’t ask.
Whether it was true or not, he would know on that day.
He smiled faintly. ” I’m not unhappy. I’m used to it. ”
He was already used to it…
Chi Xia’s heart ached when she heard this. She had been spoiled by her parents since she was young and could not understand his living environment at all. However, when he needed it the most, her mother did not care about him. That must have been hard for her, right?
Chi Xia took a deep breath, her desire to treat him well deepened.
It wasn’t because of sympathy, but because she loved him.
–
The day before New Year’s Day, Chi Xia received a call from her mother asking when she would be home.
Su Chen, who was standing beside Chi Xia, felt his heart tighten. Then, he heard Chi Xia say into the phone, “”I’ll go back tomorrow morning, before noon … I know we have to eat lunch and dinner at home on New Year’s Day.”
Hearing this, Su Chen’s heart turned cold.
As expected, she still wanted to go home. She said that she would spend New Year’s Day with him, but it was just a casual remark.
In the end, Chi Xia returned to the bedroom with her phone and closed the door. Su Chen couldn’t hear her at all.
In the room, Chi Xia said to Mother Chi, “”Mom, can my boss come to our house for dinner tomorrow?”
” He’s spending New Year’s Day with his family. Isn’t he going to spend time with his family when he comes to our house? ” Mrs. Chi asked in surprise.
Chi Xia didn’t tell her about Su Chen’s situation, only that Su Chen’s family wasn’t around.
The warm and hospitable Mrs. Chi immediately agreed. ” Little Su is so good to you, so it’s only right that you treat your boss well. If he doesn’t mind, invite him over for dinner. It’s more lively with more people! ”
Chi Xia heaved a sigh of relief. Actually, she had thought of telling her mother that she was dating Su Chen, but the last time she went home, she told her mother that Su Chen liked men!
This matter was like shooting herself in the foot. She did not know how to tell her mother the truth now.
She would bring Su Chen home on New Year’s Day and then slowly hint to her mother.
However, Chi Xia did not tell Su Chen about this in advance. She could vaguely sense Su Chen’s displeasure, even though it was not obvious.
Sometimes, she realized that this man was really too understanding. Couldn’t he tell her personally that he wanted to spend the holidays with her?
Where did his previous thick skin go?
It wasn’t like he hadn’t gone to her house to freeload food before, so he became reserved now.
However, since Su Chen did not say anything, Chi Xia was not sure either. Maybe he really did not want to go to his house for dinner on New Year’s Day?
Just like that, the two of them had their own thoughts. On New Year’s Day.
