Chapter 787: When Did She Plan to Get Married?
The training that He Xiyan was attending was drawing to a close. The speaker today was a professor from the Central Academy of Fine Arts and she was also a famous painter whose last name was He. Professor He was already past 60 years of age and she was very kind and friendly. She didn’t act like a famous professor at all. She was very experienced, humorous and interesting, so the students loved her. Some of her ex-students were now even present in this training class.
After her session ended, many of these teachers surrounded her and requested for a photograph.
Li Yue pulled He Xiyan over as well.
“Ms. Chen, let’s hurry. We should try to take a few photographs with her too,” Li Yue said excitedly.
If they took a picture with such a famous teacher, they’d be able to post it on their school’s promotional board as promotion material. There would even be teachers who had only received a junior college education who would use such a photograph to claim that they were once taught by such a famous teacher and use this to establish their credibility.
He Xiyan knew how the industry worked.
Professor He was very patient but there were far too many teachers who came forward with requests to take a photograph together, so she could only take group photographs and not take individual photographs with each teacher. Otherwise, this photo-taking process might drag on for a while.
He Xiyan and Li Yue were from the third group, so it was their turn soon enough. They took a photograph with Professor He and more than 10 other teachers. While they felt a little disappointed not to have taken an individual photograph with Professor He, this was the only way they could get a photograph since there were just too many people.
It was already dusk by the time the training ended and they were famished and exhausted after spending the entire day in class.
Li Yue found a high-class restaurant nearby and they selected a seat near the window. They ordered a fruit pizza, two portions of steak and two cups of fruit juice.
He Xiyan was extremely famished so she immediately started eating once their food was served. Li Yue was texting someone as she ate and after she sent the text, she looked at He Xiyan and said, “Ms. Chen, shall we extend our day for a few more days instead of returning home tomorrow?”
Their training had come to an end today but she wanted to stay in Ye City to play for several more days since this was such a rare occasion for her to come to Ye City.
He Xiyan took a sip of her fruit juice and coldly said, “I have some matters to attend to at home, so I’ll have to rush off. If you want to continue exploring Ye City, please feel free to extend your stay.”
She had to rush back to attend to some matters regarding her online store. She also planned to have a meeting with her dozen or so employees and give them their annual bonus.
Now that it was nearing the end of the year, she would also need to start collecting debts that others owed her.
In any case, she could only think about the matters at home.
Li Yue stopped trying to pester Ms. Chen to extend her stay when she saw that she was truly not interested. She found it boring to continue staying at Ye City alone if Ms. Chen wasn’t planning to stay.
She laughed and said in jest, “Ms. Chen, I bet you must be rushing home to see your boyfriend.”
He Xiyan was speechless. She pursed her lips together and smiled but she didn’t make any further response. It was true that she missed Jiahang since they had been apart for two weeks now. She wondered if he had been attending to her stall at the market and wondered how he had been doing during this period.
“Oh yes, Ms. Chen,” Li Yue said with a smile. “When are you going to get married? I should be your bridesmaid at your wedding…”
Li Yue sounded very excited. She had met Ms. Chen’s boyfriend and thought that her boyfriend was very sexy and handsome, so she wasn’t surprised that Ms. Chen was willing to marry him even though he was a mute.
He Xiyan was drinking her glass of fruit juice as Li Yue spoke and almost dropped her glass after she heard Li Yue’s question.
