My Clever Wife Is Sweet

But the main concern that arose here is that Ye Nian doesn't have any boyfriend till yet, at least she isn't in any serious relationship otherwise she is sure that Ye Nian might have come to her and tell her about that boy.

"Secretary Wan, thank you for your advice. I will consider it too." He nodded and they both started the work again. 

But in the end, he left Su Xi with a deep thought because she has to talk with Ye Nian once about what she feels about this whole situation.

Soon, as usual, the time flew and evening arrived. Su Xi had promised to meet Chen Juan out and to keep her promise, she went to the coffee shop he asked her to meet.

She took her coat with her, and, along with that, Su Xi decided to just meet him in her simple appearance. 'It won't attract much attention too.' After a drive, she finally arrived at the shop.

"Good Evening ma'am. May I know whom you want to meet?" It was the host of the shop. 

"There would be a table booked under the name of Su Xi or maybe Chen Juan." He nodded his head and brought her to one of the tables which were near the window.

As the shop was on the second floor, the view from here was really good. Lights in the dark, with a little traffic, are not the best place for peace but it gave good vibes.

'Is it late?' Su Xi was wondering as she looked at her watch. 

It was quite odd for a crime branch officer to be late because, in her opinion, they are quite punctual to time. Waiting for another ten minutes, Su Xi saw a figure appearing in front of him.

"You are exactly fifteen minutes late! Not what I have expected from a crime branch officer who is one break." It was a tease.

Chen Juan laughed at her statement, and replied, "The traffic was a lot at my place. So it took me some time to come here and then I did not find any suitable parking space too! Although, I'm sorry to keep you waiting." 

He was wearing a white t-shirt inside, and a black coat over it, pairing with black denim jeans. As a woman, she found his appearance a little good. He was a charming and handsome man.

Su Xi smiled. His excuse or whatever looked genuine and she knew dishonesty is not in his blood. 

"Shall we order?" Su Xu asked while picking the menu from the table. Chen Juan agreed on that as they were already late enough. 

The time Su Xi was going through the names of the coffee in the menu, Chen Juan looked at her face which had even no makeup. He just smiled to himself and shifted his eyes back to the menu in his lap.

"Okay, I decided. You did?"

"You go in order." Chen Juan replied as Su Xi called a waiter to their table.

"I would like to have.. a cup of Cappuccino and also….." the waiter wrote down her order while Chen Juan just looked at the menu. At last, when he was asked to order, he simply said,

"I would like to order the same as she said." Chen Juan answered while looking absolutely calm.

This surprised Su Xi a little bit. Looking at him, he was going through all the names just a moment ago, and if he wanted to have everything that she had, then why did he even look at the menu? 

When they both were left alone, Su Xi did not know what to talk about. It was him who asked her to come out and he was staying silent, which was somewhat awkward for her.

"Umm... Chen Juan, why did you call me?" Su Xi directly asked, without beating around the bush.

Chen Juan realized that she was staring at her face for more than he had thought. Clearing his throat, he tried to shift the topic, "You told me about yourself so much, but you never told me what you had thought about your life anymore?"

Hearing this, Su Xi frowned. His words weren't clear to her, "What do you mean?"

"After your husband's death, I understand that you have a responsibility to manage. As you said to me earlier, your children are the ones for whom you want to do everything. But about yourself?" 

He wanted to know her goals, her plans for herself. Either to stay widow just like that for her whole life? 

Su Xi did not expect the conversation to start from this. Although they talked a few times and she told him what she wants from her life, but not in-depth. 

In Fact, they weren't much close to share these things. If seen in her life, she lacks friends. When she was in school, after getting pregnant, no one wanted to be her friend. 

'What could I do? I had my soulmate, friend, and everything in Ye Huo.' This was the saddest part of her life. Having a true best friend in your life is a must and she likes it!

But is it possible for her and Chen Juan to be friends? There were slight changes. Maybe she never took enough initiative to befriend anyone in her life. she was happy in just a small world of hers.

Taking a step ahead won't affect her much, right?

"I never planned my life ahead, Chen Juan. For so many years, business, home, children. That's my life for so many years, at least for the past two years." Su Xi stated the fact.

"But you will have to think about yourself too, right?"

"I know. Chen Juan, many things are complicated right now. My life is full of things that need my utmost attention. at this point, I don't think I can even let myself think about my own self
