Chapter 343: Uncle Xie Xuning (4)   Upon hearing Xie Xuning’s words, Qie Yiyan’s expression darkened.

Could it be that he really couldn’t fulfill Xingqing’s dream in his lifetime?

“Uncle, I just want to fulfill Xingqing’s dream, even if I know she won’t get to witness it. I just want to let her know that everything she dreamed of at the beginning will be realized by someone.”

Xie Xuning sighed. What’s love? It was a commitment between two people that not even death could break it.

He wasn’t afraid of Qie Yiyan playing rogue with him.

He was afraid of Qie Yiyan using his emotions against him.

He was more afraid of a grown man like himself crying.

“The girl has already made her decision. Yiyan, can’t we look for another girl?”

Qie Yiyan shook his head. No, it could only be her.

Only she could fulfill Xingqing’s dream.

Because her eyes were as stubborn and unwilling as those of Xingqing...

There was no changing Qie Yiyan’s mind.

“Qie Yiyan, you have to know that she isn’t Xingqing.”

“Uncle, I know that she isn’t Xingqing. I know very well that she isn’t my Xingqing.”

Xie Xuning let out a long sigh.

He said, “You know that Li Qingcang is very protective of her. You would have to deal with Li Qingcang as well.”

“Uncle, I can’t give up just because of Li Qingcang. A good student is worth the wait.”

Xie Xuning replied softly, “Then I will try to help you persuade Li Qingcang. As for whether I will succeed, I can’t guarantee it.”

“Thank you.”

Xie Xuning turned around, took out his phone, and called Li Qingcang.

It took a long time for Li Qingcang to answer the phone. It was very noisy on his end.

“Qingcang, this is Xie Xuning. Have a drink with me tonight.”

Li Qingcang was startled. He hadn’t even said “hello” yet. However, he had no reason to refuse Xie Xuning.

“Okay. I’ll meet you in a moment.”

“I also booked a room for you in the hotel. You can come directly in a while.”

What Xie Xuning wanted to talk about was related to Ye Tianxin.

He didn’t want to stress Ye Tianxin.

“I booked a spa for the girl you’re with, lest she becomes bored while we drink.”

“Great.”

After Li Qingcang hung up, he said to Ye Tianxin, “My uncle asked me to have a drink with him. I’ll accompany him later. You can go to the spa as we talk.”

Ye Tianxin’s eyes were full of worry. She looked at Li Qingcang. “Or, should I stay with you?”

“My uncle might not want you to see him drinking. He is an elder after all, you know.” Li Qingcang stretched out his hand and touched Ye Tianxin’s face. “Be good and smile. You go to the spa, and, by the time you’re done, we’ll almost be done as well.”

“Then don’t drink until you can’t handle it,” Ye Tianxin warned worriedly.

Li Qingcang smiled. “Tianxin, why are you so worried? Smile, okay?”

Ye Tianxin then made funny faces.

“Silly!”

“I know I’m silly!”

Li Qingcang couldn’t laugh anymore. He knew that being silly wasn’t a compliment.

He also knew what kind of environment a person called “silly” lived in since childhood. Thus, how could a girl like Ye Tianxin be silly and sweet?

Thinking of this, Li Qingcang felt sorry for her even more.

He wanted to give her everything...to protect her and take care of her.
