Ye Tianxin did not expect Xie Xinghe to ask her such a question. She answered somewhat gloomily, “My dad has already passed.”
“Oh, I am sorry.”
Xie Xinghe felt a little embarrassed. He shouldn’t have asked such a personal question.
However, he had an inclination that Ye Tianxin was very similar to his uncle in some aspects.
However, he could not say exactly what was similar about the both of them.
The mood in the car was a little somber. Just then, Xie Xinghe’s mobile phone suddenly rang.
He picked up the call.
“Uncle, yes, I got it done. I have already brought the flowers to Auntie and I am currently on the way back from the cemetery.”
Xie Xuning’s voice could be heard as Xie Xinghe had put the phone on speaker.
“She loved red roses. Did you bring her 999 roses?”
Xie Xinghe made a sound of acknowledgment. “Uncle, don’t treat me like a kid, alright? Of course, I brought Auntie her favorite flowers.”
“I dreamed of her last night. She must still blame me. I wonder if she will forgive me when I die and we meet again.”
Xie Xuning’s voice sounded sad.
Xie Xinghe could not help but sigh. Who would have thought it possible for a man to love deeply? The men of the Xie family were all affectionate.
“Uncle, I think Auntie Wei is quite nice.”
“She is quite nice. But they are not the same,” he emphasized. “My heart can only hold one person in it, and that’s your aunt.”
“Uncle, when are you coming back?” Xie Xinghe changed the topic.
“Soon.”
“Alright then. Let’s talk soon. I am still driving.”
Xie Xinghe hung up and glanced at Ye Tianxin through the corner of his eyes. He saw that Ye Tianxin was looking at the scenery outside the car. She seemed to be deep in thought, so he did not say anything else.
Xie Xinghe drove Ye Tianxin to the boo store. Ye Tianxin got off the car and waved at Xie Xinghe.
“Thanks, Brother Xinghe.”
“We are family. There’s no need to be so polite.”
Li Qingcang ran up to Ye Tianxin the moment she entered the bookstore. His eyes were filled with concern.
“Tianxin, where did you go? Did you know we were all very worried about you?”
“I went to the cemetery.”
Everyone thought the same as Xie Xinghe. They all thought that Ye Tianxin had gone there to buy a plot for her grandmother.
“Don’t go out alone next time. We were all very worried about you.”
Li Qingcang patted Ye Tianxin’s head. He was really worried about her. Qie Yiyan might pull a trick up his sleeve and take Ye Tianxin again. His anxiety led him to lightly scold Ye Tianxin.
“Elder Brother Li, don’t worry. Nothing will happen to me.”
Ye Tianxin and Li Qingcang chatted and laughed together. This sight caused a piercing pain in Yan Jun’s heart.
He quietly averted his gaze. They were so intimate. They were so intimate that a third person could not possibly exist between them.
“Yan Jun, I just received a call from the filming crew. You and Tianxin have to head back on set this afternoon.”
“Alright. I got it.”
Yan Jun stood up and walked over to Li Qingcang and Ye Tianxin. He said, “Boss, Tianxin, I shall leave first. I still have to pack my things. I will see you two at the airport later.”
After Yan Jun left, Ye Tianxin also started packing. Fortunately, Jing Zhichen had good connections and knew many people in the capital. Ye Tianxin and Li Qingcang managed to settle the renovation for the bookstore in just one day.
At one in the afternoon, Li Qingcang sent off Ye Tianxin to the airport.
“Tianxin, don’t worry and just go film the movie. I will keep an eye on the works here.”
