Before leaving, he turned his head and looked at Si Xiao Shuang, who was still kneeling and waiting for an answer. “We what? Let’s go.”
Yes, Tian Ye said this with a smile.
Si Xiao Shuang jumped up with a bang and ran towards Tian Ye, also smiling brilliantly.
Tian Ye believed that Mei Yu was lying underground watching him, watching the person she loved most in this world live a happy life, only then would she truly rest in peace.
In fact, how much happiness would Tian Ye have after losing Mei Yu? Even he himself was not clear, but at this moment, he wanted Mei Yu to find peace first. Perhaps this way, Mei Yu would suffer less underground.
Tian Ye drove with Si Xiao Shuang, not speaking the entire way and driving slowly, nothing like the young master of the Tian clan who used to drive like a plane. Tian Ye felt as if Mei Yu was in his car, and he couldn’t drive fast. He was afraid of a crash. Even if he were to be crushed to pieces, what hurt most was that he feared such a scene would stir up his missing of Mei Yu – a pain that was silent and soundless, drilling into his entire body.
Si Xiao Shuang sat beside Tian Ye, full of joy, trying to say something, but seeing Tian Ye’s handsome and cold face, she said nothing.
Si Xiao Shuang felt such words would be superfluous and might inadvertently annoy Tian Ye.
She could only sit obediently, tilting her head against the car window, watching the slowly flowing scenery, bit by bit gradually composing a complete world with people, water, tall buildings, stories, family affection, love, and many more things. She would place herself on the street enjoying these beautiful scenes; only this world lacked Tian Ye, the person she needed most.
The car slowly drove into the Tian family mansion.
The guards standing at the door saw Young Master Tian return and hurried to open the door for him, bowing their heads and saying, “Young Master is back.”
Tian Ye was still the same as always, just sweeping them with a peripheral glance before walking directly into the villa’s main hall.
Tian Ye brought Si Xiao Shuang into the hall. Inside, Tian Zi Xiong, Hui, the housekeeper, and other influential people of the Tian clan who heard Tian Ye had returned were standing and waiting for him.
Especially Tian Zi Xiong was exceptionally enthusiastic. As Tian Ye walked through the door, he quickly stepped forward, hugging Tian Ye and laughing, “Haha, son, son is back. Come, come, sit here.”
Tian Zi Xiong put his arm around Tian Ye and led him towards the sofa.
“Oh, Xiao Shuang is here too, hehe, come, sit together.”
Tian Zi Xiong was very happy to see Tian Ye do this. He laughed heartily, “Tian Ye, you and Xiao Shuang should get along well. Look, what a good girl Xiao Shuang is. Don’t let her down.” After speaking, Tian Zi Xiong lowered his head to look at Si Xiao Shuang sitting beside him, seeing her face slightly red, turning away.
Tian Ye hummed a laugh, turned his head, and looked at his father, saying, “Dad, I want to focus on my career, not marriage.” Though Tian Ye’s words seemed casual, the moment he spoke, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense.
Tian Zixiong could sense that this conversation would not go well. He signaled with his eyes, and all the people who had come to welcome the young master dispersed, gently closing the door and leaving the hall.
Tian Zixiong turned his head with a slightly stern expression, saying, “It’s good that you want to pursue a career, and I support you, but getting married to Xiao Shuang won’t affect that.” After speaking, Tian Zixiong secretly glanced at Si Xiao Shuang, who was now hanging her head like a frost-beaten eggplant, looking dejected.
Tian Ye would never forget Mei Yu, even if they would never meet again, even if he could foresee that under his father’s pressure, he would likely marry Si Xiao Shuang in the future. In fact, for Tian Ye, marrying anyone was irrelevant. His heart was already buried underground with Mei Yu. Future life for him would be mechanical, automated. There would be no happiness or beauty, perhaps only gazing at the sky and listening to the sound of the sea.
Tian Ye leaned back on the sofa, tilting his body, and said, “I think Hui is quite suitable for Si Xiao Shuang.”
Tian Zixiong was both shocked and angry. His son marrying Si Kun’s daughter would be such a successful plan, like a business merger, a strong alliance. How could he let an outsider interfere? He turned to Tian Ye and said sternly, “You little brat, what joke are you making? Xiao Shuang is right here. If you ever bully her, I’ll beat you.” Then Tian Zixiong turned to the already flushed Si Xiao Shuang and laughed, “Xiao Shuang, don’t mind him. Tian Ye is just joking.”
Tian Ye’s heart was heavy. He had no energy to argue with his father. He sat up, patted his father’s shoulder, and said with a smile, “Dad, I want to take Xiao Shuang out, to Hawaii.”
Tian Zixiong immediately became happy.
Going to such a romantic place could help develop feelings, even if they weren’t a couple. He laughed, “Great, take Xiao Shuang out and play. Play until you’re satisfied and then come back.” He pulled Tian Ye and Si Xiao Shuang’s hands together, laughing heartily, “This is good. Take good care of Xiao Shuang.”
Tian Ye got excited and chuckled at his father, “But I’ll also bring Hui. I need to consult him about some company matters.”
Tian Zixiong was still happy, thinking about his plan for wealth, and didn’t pay much attention to Tian Ye’s words. “Okay, okay. Tian Ye is making progress. You can go and enjoy yourselves.”
Tian Ye smiled, “Okay, it’s settled. I’m going to…” Then he withdrew his hand from Si Xiao Shuang’s and left through the side door.
Tianye looked up and down at this transformed beauty until Si Xiaoshuang swayed to his side, and only then did Tianye come to his senses. Standing straight, he placed a hand on Si Xiaoshuang’s shoulder and said loudly, “Wow, so the legendary incomparable beauty has been right beside me all along.”
Si Xiaoshuang looked at Tianye with a slight shyness and said, “What are you talking about, let’s go.” Then she walked directly towards Tianye’s car.
Tianye stopped laughing and shouted at Si Xiaoshuang, “Hey, you’re taking Hui’s car. My car isn’t in the mood to take passengers today.” After this, Tianye turned back and looked at the shocked Hui with a mischievous smile.
Si Xiaoshuang suddenly stopped, turned back, looking surprised at Tianye, then glanced at Hui. They seemed to have agreed to avoid looking at her, which made Si Xiaoshuang breathe heavily in anger, but she couldn’t say anything more. It was just a trip to the airport.
Although Hui didn’t understand Young Master Tianye’s intentions, he had to obey his orders. Hui turned around and signaled Si Xiaoshuang’s bodyguards and his own subordinates to throw their luggage into his car, then looked at Si Xiaoshuang and got into the car.
Si Xiaoshuang stood there in a daze. Tianye still ignored her, and she didn’t say anything more. She snorted and got into Hui’s car.
After settling everyone, Tianye smiled mischievously, looking radiant in the sunlight.
In Hui’s car, Si Xiaoshuang kept pouting, not looking directly at him, humming and not speaking.
Hui drove, glancing at Si Xiaoshuang, thinking, “This little girl is quite cute. Interesting.” The atmosphere in the car remained awkward.
They then arrived at the Tianzu Hong Kong airport, a massive airport housing dozens of the world’s most advanced helicopters, private jets, and civilian aircraft.
Their car slowly drove into the private parking lot, and everyone jumped out to find their plane.
