Irving said this in Chinese.

Ever since he made up his mind to pursue Bai Tingxue, Owen has been practicing Chinese hard.

He hoped that one day the two of them would be able to communicate without using foreign languages, and he even hoped that one day he could express his feelings to Bai Tingxue in her own language.

Therefore, the first Chinese sentence he learned was "Xuexue, I love you." He read it over and over again hundreds of times, and now he finally has a use for it.

Bai Tingxue was stunned for a while before she realized what Owen had just said. Her face suddenly turned red and she covered her mouth, unable to speak.

Owen seemed to be aware of her embarrassment, his lips curved slightly, and he changed the subject thoughtfully: "I changed my title to you, shouldn't you also change my title to me? Don't call me Mr. Owen anymore, just call me Mr. Owen." How about me, Owen?”

Owen's voice was a little more lazy because of fatigue, and it sounded more and more magnetic.

Bai Tingxue clutched her phone tightly, and it took her a long time to prepare herself mentally before she whispered, "Owen."

Owen's laughter came from the other end of the phone again: "Xuexue, I am very happy. I have never been so happy as now."

Bai Tingxue's ears suddenly felt hot, and she coughed lightly and said, "You should go and have a rest. You must be very tired after working overtime every day."

"Well, I'll go back and make up for you as a New Year's gift after I've been busy for a while."

Bai Tingxue opened her mouth, but still did not refuse, and responded in a low voice: "Yes."

After ending the call with Owen, Bai Tingxue turned around and met her mother's inquiring eyes.

"Ting Xue, who were you calling just now? Did you call for so long?"

Bai Tingxue met her mother's eyes and suddenly felt guilty for some reason: "Just... just a friend."

"Friend? Boyfriend?"

"Mom!" Bai Tingxue blushed and retorted subconsciously, "It's just a male friend."

"Oh, is that so?" Mother Bai seemed to believe Bai Tingxue's words, but her expression clearly said: "It's really just a male friend. Are you lying to me?"

Bai Tingxue's face was full of embarrassment, but she didn't know how to explain it to Bai's mother. After all, she and Owen were still just ordinary friends.

Fortunately, Mother Bai did not dwell on this issue. Seeing that her daughter did not want to say more, she changed the topic and told her true purpose.

"Your dad and I are going to Ji's house. Do you want to go with us?"

The Ji family and the Bai family are family friends, and they go out and stay in touch at the beginning of every year.

Naturally, it will be the same this year, except that his daughter was rejected when she confessed to Ji Chengze last year, so this will have a different impact on his attitude.

In previous years, Bai Tingxue would go there with Bai's father and mother. This year, the two elders didn't want to embarrass their daughter too much. Whether she goes or not depends on Bai Tingxue's own wishes.

Bai Tingxue thought for a moment and finally smiled reluctantly: "I'm not feeling well. Mom, you can go with Dad. I won't go."

Mother Bai was not surprised by this, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay then, you stay at home and we'll go there."

"Um."

Bai Tingxue looked at Mama Bai's retreating back and unconsciously put her hand on her heart.

To this day, her heart still aches when she hears or thinks of Ji Chengze, but the pain is no longer as painful as when she was first rejected.

Maybe time really is the elixir that heals pain. When that day she no longer feels pain for him, maybe...
