Chapter 57: How is it that the Way is so solicitous?

  Remember in one second, wonderful internet for free!

  Ji Siyuan didn't really throw in the towel and leave, but instead returned to China with Qiao Yu a few days later to attend the celebration banquet for the resort project.

  The celebration banquet was held in the resort, and many people came that night. After Qiao Yu made a round, he found that Ji Si Xuan was nowhere to be seen.

  It was actually Xu Bingjun who discovered her disappearance earlier than Qiao Yu.

  When Xu Bingjun found her, Ji Sixuan was sitting on the natural stone statue in the center of the resort village, hugging her legs and lost in thought.

  "She turned her back on him and asked, 'Xu Bingjun, do you know why men especially dislike women's suspicion and speculation?'"

  She blurted out a sentence that left Xu Bingjun bewildered, "Why?"

  Ji Siyun smiled lightly, "Because I'm guilty, because women guess too accurately! Sometimes a woman's sixth sense is so accurate it's scary, even she herself doesn't dare to believe."

  Xu Bingjun suddenly had a bad feeling, "What do you want to say?"

  He couldn't see Ji Siyu's expression, but he could hear her voice still sounding relaxed and casual, "I know you like me."

  Xu Bingjun did not refute, "When did you know?"

  "I knew from the start. You know, I've been able to tell if a man likes me or not at first glance since junior high school, and I've never misjudged anyone." She said after finishing, suddenly remembering something, tilting her head to correct herself, "Oh no, Qiao Yu is an exception, I couldn't sense whether he liked me or not. This is probably what they mean by 'concerned then confused'."

  Xu Bingjun was a magnanimous person, he knew from the start that he and this woman would not have such a fate, he liked it his own business, she knew or didn't know, he wouldn't feel any embarrassment or discomfort.

  Ji Siyun suddenly stood up and turned around, looking down at Xu Bingjun, "Do you know why I studied architecture?"

  Xu Bingjun replied without thinking, "Because of Qiao Yu?"

  Ji Siyun smiled and shook her head, "No, because I like it."

  Xu Bingjun smiled and nodded.

  Ji Siyuan asked again, "Do you know why I must go on this path of architecture?"

  Xu Bingjun found that even though he had known her for so many years, he still couldn't keep up with her jumping thoughts. "Because of liking?"

  Ji Siyun suddenly suppressed her smile, her eyes calm and opening her mouth, "Not because of Qiao Yu. Our past dreams, he gave up, I will work hard to help him complete."

  Xu Bingjun said gently, "Dreams, wouldn't it be better if someone else helped you achieve them?"

  Ji Si Xuan smiled lightly and shook her head, "I didn't start on this path because of him, but I continue on this path for his sake. It's all because of Qiao Yu that I have this dream. Because it's him, the dream is a dream; if it were someone else, even if I achieved my original aspirations, it would be meaningless to me. Qiao Yu is Ji Si Xuan's dream."

  Xu Bingjun seemed to have guessed something, "What do you want to tell me?"

  Ji Sixuan took a deep breath and slowly exhaled before speaking, "I want to resign."

  Xu Bingjun was not surprised, "You know, from the day you became an independent project leader, I told you that I couldn't keep you, and that you would eventually be poached by another company. I've been waiting for this sentence for a long time, but I didn't expect that it would be Qiao Yu who would poach you. Does Qiao Yu know about this?"

  Ji Siyun shook her head, "I don't know."

  Xu Bingjun's face was sarcastic, "So protective of him."

  Ji Siyu nodded slightly, "The harem is not allowed to interfere with politics."

  Xu Bingjun was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing.

  "Speaking of which, I have to mention one thing," Ji Sixuan looked at Xu Bingjun very seriously. "The building woman and the structural man are really arch-enemies, we've been looking at each other with dislike for a long time."

  “……”

  Not long after Xu Bingjun left, Ji Sixuan heard footsteps behind her and that voice with a smile.

  "No matter how high you climb, you're not afraid of falling."

  Apart from the two high-rise buildings, all other places in the resort were lit up. Ji Siyuan looked up at the brightly lit opposite courtyard, where several villas of different styles were located, each one being the brainchild of every team member.

  "Qiao Yu, I seem to still hear the sound of construction here. The first time I completed a project as the lead architect, it was like this too. At that time, standing in front of that high-rise building, I especially wanted to tell you, Qiao Yu, look, I've finally left you far behind on this road. But now, step by step, I'm walking back to find you, okay?"

  Qiao Yu stood under the stone statue, stunned for a moment before raising his eyes to look at her. His expression was calm and relaxed, with a gentle and warm smile. He slowly stretched out his arm and said, "Come down."

  Ji Siyun lowered her head and looked at him, raised the corner of her mouth in a smile, and without thinking, she jumped down and plunged into his arms.

  At that time, on the playground of that school, he also opened his arms to catch her, but she would rather be hurt than let him touch her a little bit. Now she can finally accept him without any worries, everything seems really different now.

  The next morning was a simple project summary meeting, with many big leaders attending. The Bo Group had Mr. Bo Zhen attend in person. Qiao Yu, as the project leader, smiled and finished all the thank-you speeches, then asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any questions?"

  Ji Siyuan sat in the last row and lazily raised her hand, "I do."

  Qiao Yu's heart skipped a beat as a familiar feeling surged up, and he raised his hand to signal her to ask.

  Ji Siyuan sat in her seat, looking at Qiao Yu with a gentle and affectionate expression, her eyebrows and eyes filled with emotions, the corners of her mouth curved into a smile. "I want to ask, Qiao Yu, when do you plan on marrying me?"

  Qiao Yu had been carrying a gloomy expression since Qiao Ye's passing, but in that instant, Ji Si Xuan saw the clarity and joy flash across his eyes.

  Qiao Yu looked at Ji Si Xuan, whose smile was as bright as a flower, and the familiar slyness in her eyes. He suddenly felt like he had returned to the classroom where they had their student union interview years ago.

  That year she laughed so proudly and said he would be hers from then on.

  After all these years, Qiao Yu has made no progress and is still stunned on the spot, losing his composure until he sits in the office of his superior.

  Song Cheng'an was annoyed, "Hey! I'm talking to you, what are you grinning at?"

  Qiao Yu was startled and said, "Oh, sorry, what did you just say?"

  Song Cheng'an slapped the table, "I said so many leaders are here! Do you know how bad it is for Ji Siyu to do this?! And let the Bo family's people see the joke!"

  "Hmm..." Qiao Yu responded absent-mindedly, without a hint of guilt on his face. Suddenly, he opened his mouth to ask, "Uncle Song, I have a question for you."

  Song Cheng'an thought he had finally returned to normal and nodded, "You ask."

  "Is there a rule in the department that if I marry Ji Siyuan, to avoid suspicion, I won't be able to be in charge of construction? If so, do I need to submit an application report in advance?"

  Song Cheng'an pressed down on the fire and asked, "Were you just thinking about this?"

  Qiao Yu shook his head, "It's not all, there are others."

  Song Cheng'an asked with a glimmer of hope, "Is there anything else?"

  Qiao Yu seemed a bit embarrassed, "And about the vacation issue, if we get married, I seem to have a lot of things to prepare for. I haven't taken a break in years? Can we take this opportunity to take one together?"

  Song Cheng'an finally exploded, pushing Qiao Yu out of the door. "Get out! I can't make you understand."

  Qiao Yu looked at the closed door with a helpless expression, weakly knocking on it, "Uncle Song I still have other questions! If I get married, do I still need..."

  The door opened again and his notebook was thrown out, "Go home and ask your dad!"

  Qiao Yu rubbed his nose thoughtfully and said, "Ask Secretary Qiao..."

  Qiao Yu knew that he couldn't hide this matter from Secretary Qiao, so he went to Qiao Boyuan's office that afternoon. He sat across from Qiao Boyuan with a nervous expression and asked, "Dad... about this matter... you'll cover for me, right?"

  Qiao Bo Yuan was taken aback, looked up at him, Qiao Yu had never been so close to him since childhood, as if this was the way a father and son should be. His stern face couldn't last, he furrowed his brow, and reluctantly hummed in agreement.

  Qiao Yu got a definite reply and smiled excitedly twice before waving goodbye and running off.

  Qiao Secretary sat at his desk, but in fact, he was also collapsing inside. How to start a conversation about calling to help his own child? He had never done such a thing before. Should he call and ask Jiang Shengzhuo's father? Jiang Shengzhuo had been mischievous since childhood, so Old Jiang should have more experience.

  At the same time, he realized a truth that being naughty and mischievous is something everyone has to go through, and it's better to get it over with earlier. Qiao Yu was rarely obedient and sensible when he was young, but now...he's so big yet still needs someone to wipe his butt for him, it's really...embarrassing!

  The people in Qiao Yu's group and the people from the law firm had always gotten along well, so with their departure imminent, they decided to have a big party, at the villa that Qiao Ye had given them.

  Wei Xun looked around for a while, then asked Ji Siyu with a puzzled face, "Why do I feel more and more like it's that private job you took on? Is the client Qiao Yu? Designing your own house with your own man's money according to your own preferences, can you really do such things? Come, whisper to me, how much did you take?"

  Ji Siyun surreptitiously glanced at Qiao Yu, who was laughing and chatting with a group of people, and whispered a number.

  Wei Xian pouted and said, "Why can't I meet a client who is stupid and rich?"

  Ji Siyuan smiled with satisfaction and suddenly stood up straight, extending his hand to formally say, "Wei Gong, thank you for your guidance over the years."

  Wei Xun found out from Xu Bingjun that she was going to resign, and he looked dejected. "Xuan Huang, if you quit, I'll have to face those boring people alone in the future, how uninteresting!"

  "Then come and work for me!"

  The speaker was unintentional, but the listener had a mind of his own. Wei Xing rubbed his chin thoughtfully and his eyes lit up as if he had come up with a plan.

  After dinner, a group of people were bored and suddenly someone suggested, "Let's play board games! I brought some!"

  "Qiao also studied architecture, come together!"

  Qiao Yu glanced at Ji Siyuan, who was staring back at him provocatively.

  Qiao Yu nodded in agreement, "Alright."

  This board game was once popular among architects, notorious for its tricky questions and loved and hated by players in equal measure. Each player holds a chess piece, advancing when they answer correctly, with the first to reach the center winning.

  Later on, Qiao Yu and Ji Siyuan were far ahead, only a few steps away from the center of the circle.

  But the questions are getting weirder and weirder, I've answered several questions but none of them were correct.

  Qiao Yu is a master of prolonged battles, and Ji Si Xuan felt that if this continued, he would definitely lose face.

  Who would have thought that Qiao Yu suddenly grasped the flag and suggested, "Let's stop fighting!"

  "This suggestion struck a chord with her,"Oh, then let's hear it, how did you stop?"

  Qiao Yu put down the flag, "Shall we follow historical convention?"

  Ji Siyun was taken aback, "What habit?"

  Qiao Yu quickly replied, "Agree to the marriage."

  After finishing speaking, Ji Siyu saw a ring slowly slipping onto her left hand's ring finger, and she looked up at him foolishly.

  His profile was firm and steady, his eyes deep, lightly holding her hand, slowly opening his mouth, "How to say goodbye? Pointing to a pair of silver."

  She subconsciously touched her earlobe.

  What makes it so valuable? A pair of bright pearls in the ears.

  Why is Tao so diligent? It refers to a pair of silver shoes.

  Ji Siyuan smiled slightly, this is probably the most creative proposal in the world, right?

  That smile was so pure and innocent, yet with a hint of mischief, that Qiao Yu was momentarily stunned.

  It wasn't until after a long while that Ji Siyu finally came back to herself, looking at everyone and asking, "Have you all discussed this thoroughly?"

  Everyone burst out laughing and cheering, with several Wei Xing getting the most excited, while Xu Bingjun smiled as he watched them make a ruckus.

  "Others in the department are still waiting for you, can't you just give a response?"

  "Right, so from now on should we start calling her Mrs. Qiao?"

  "Are you going to give me the change or not?"

  "Haha......"

  Ji Siyuan looked at Qiao Yu with a faint smile, gazing quietly for a long time until she saw the tension in his eyes, then burst into a bright and cheerful laugh, "I'm getting married!"

  At that moment, Qiao Yu's smile couldn't be hidden, the joy and warmth in his eyes shone brightly as he took a step forward and tightly hugged her into his arms, holding on for a long time.

  The proposal that was interrupted by a phone call many years ago has finally become a reality, and the woman he couldn't bear to part with is now his.
