“Hey, Mother.”

“An An.” Xia Jin suppressed her feelings earlier than persevering with, “Did one thing occur to you when you had been out this time?”

Ye An grew to become flustered. Did she discover out about her marriage?

That wasn’t seemingly. She didn’t know learn how to use Weibo, and there was even much less of an opportunity of her contacting Ye Yuan Nian.

“No, I’m good. What’s fallacious?”

“Nothing, Mother was simply nervous and wished to come back to see you.”

Ye An’s coronary heart skipped a beat, and he or she instantly mentioned, “You don’t want to do this Mother; I’m doing nice. Don’t fear.” After a pause, she continued, “If I’ve time without work for Mid-Autumn Pageant, I’ll come again and go to you.”

Xia Jin didn’t converse a lot. After a second of silence, she ended the decision with an, “All proper.”

Ye An stood within the backyard and regarded on the darkish display of her cellphone, feeling a bit uneasy.

These two have developed a rift of their relationship as mom and daughter prior to now few years due to Ye Yuan Nian. There was a time interval wherein Xia Jin didn’t even wish to discuss to her, however now she took the initiative to verify in on her… may or not it’s that she figured it out?

Ye An hesitated momentarily earlier than placing her cellphone away and going again.

Xie Shuo had already gotten up from the chair, so Ye An reached out to assist him. She requested, “Are we going to Grandpa’s home for the Mid-Autumn Pageant?”

Xie Shuo gave a lightweight “En” as a reply.

Ye An mentioned, “We’re not staying the night time, proper? I must go someplace for 2 days.”

Xie Shuo hadn’t seen her journey by herself since getting married. He felt that it was a bit unusual and requested, “For what?”

Ye An deliberated and mentioned, “I wish to go go to an elder.”

In the event that they had been an elder from the Ye household, she would have mentioned it outright or have made him accompany her. Xie Shuo understood and didn’t ask any extra questions earlier than replying, “We received’t keep in a single day.”

Ye An was relieved.

It was time to return house and go to, or else her mother would start to suspect.

Sigh, she had it laborious.

On the opposite finish, Xia Jin held her cellphone in hand and stood on the door for a very long time earlier than going inside.

As a substitute of going to the kitchen to cook dinner, she went to her bed room to pack.

The following day was cloudy and windy.

Xia Jin exited the practice station and located a resort room to quiet down. Afterward, she went downstairs and hailed a automotive from the facet of the highway.

It was already 5 within the night by the point she arrived on the Ye residence.

The sky was darkish, and the chilly autumn winds blew round the home.

She hadn’t set foot on this residence in too lengthy, and the place appeared each acquainted and unfamiliar.

She rang the doorbell, and a servant got here to open the door quickly after. The latter didn’t acknowledge her and requested, “You’re…?”

Xia Jin wrapped her darkish purple scarf round herself and coldly mentioned, “I’m in search of Ye Yuan Nian.”

Noticing her unhealthy perspective, the servant didn’t let her in and as a substitute mentioned, “Ma’am, are you able to–”

Xia Jin had no persistence left and didn’t wish to trouble with formalities, so she pushed the door open herself and rushed inside aggressively together with her heels.

The servant let loose a sigh: May or not it’s some mistress that Mr. Ye had stored on the surface coming to their home? However that doesn’t appear very seemingly contemplating their ages!

Xia Jin burst into the lounge and didn’t discover Ye Yuan Nian. As a substitute, she got here throughout Jiang Luo, who had simply come downstairs.

The 2 froze on the similar time.

Earlier than coming, Xia Jin had purposely modified garments and placed on make-up on the resort. Her type was fully totally different from Jiang Luo’s light look. Jiang Luo’s magnificence resembled a portray with delicate eyebrows and was paying homage to her previous youthfulness. Xia Jin was placing, daring, and as soon as shone brilliantly, however her complete persona grew to become wan and sallow after experiencing the previous few years.

There was thick stress between the 2 of them.

“Madam…” The servant rushed in and defined to Jiang Luo, “She insisted on coming in.”

Jiang Luo stepped down and advised her, “Go pour some tea.”

Xia Jin interrupted her with a chilly face. “I don’t want any tea. The place’s Ye Yuan Nian?”

Jiang Luo observed the anger in her expression and was capable of guess why she got here. She mentioned, “He’s not right here…”

As she spoke, footsteps sounded on the doorway.

Ye Yuan Nian stopped, and his expression modified as he noticed the additional determine in his lounge.

“What… are you doing right here?”

Xia Jin circled to have a look at him, her lips curling. “Aren’t you very clear on why I got here?”

Ye Yuan Nian froze for some time, and his aged face turned pale with varied expressions.

Xia Jin’s tone grew to become much more mocking upon seeing his expression. “You don’t dare say it?”

Ye Yuan Nian mentioned guiltily, “You came upon about An An’s marriage? Why don’t you sit down first, and I’ll clarify it to you.”

Xia Jin discovered it troublesome to listen to him say the phrase “marriage,” and he or she virtually bought as much as slap him.

“I don’t have the vitality to take heed to you clarify, Ye Yuan Nian. I’m asking you this did you drive An An to marry a blind man?”

Ye Yuan Nian knew that she was indignant, so he may solely attempt to calm her down as a lot as doable. “Relax first. An An agreed to this herself, and with the Xie household’s standing, she received’t ever must endure any hardships after marriage.”

“Bullsh*t!” Xia Jin couldn’t restrain her anger and scolded him. “If the Xie household is so nice, why didn’t you marry her daughter to him?”

She directed her stare upon Jiang Luo, and Jiang Luo’s expression modified. “You…”

One was an ex-wife; the opposite was the present spouse. This scene resembled the myths from the Asura.

Fearing that the 2 would quarrel, Ye Yuan Nian hurriedly urged Jiang Luo, “You go upstairs first. I’ll discuss to her.”

Jiang Luo was additionally indignant, so she coldly glared at Xia Jin earlier than ascending the steps.

Ye Yuan Nian turned again round to face Xia Jin. “In case you have one thing to say, say it properly…”

Earlier than he may proceed to defend himself, Xia Jin sneered at him. “Say it properly? We’ve reached this level, and you continue to need me to say it properly? Whenever you pressured Ye An into marriage, you must have thought-about what would occur at the moment!” She glared coldly at him and mentioned sharply, “You used your organic daughter to pave the best way on your personal prosperity. Ye Yuan Nian, was your conscience eaten by a canine?”

Listening to these biting phrases, Ye Yuan Nian’s face paled. He grew to become indignant due to this sensitive topic. “Xia Jin!”

“What, am I fallacious?”

Ye Yuan Nian’s face was white, and he was speechless for a very long time. He was uncertain if he was indignant or ashamed, so he had nothing to say.

Together with her anger expressed, Xia Jin calmed down. She mentioned with reddened eyes, “I had her come right here so that you can take care of her, to not allow you to abuse her like this.”

Seeing her on this method, Ye Yuan Nian’s tone softened, and his expression confirmed a hint of fatigue. “I actually didn’t drive her on this matter. I’ve requested her a number of instances about it.”

Because the subject was introduced up, Ye Yuan Nian additionally discovered the scenario unusual. Previously two years, Ye An had solely visited the Ye residence a handful of instances. Nevertheless, when she instantly returned house for a meal in the future, she randomly requested in regards to the Eldest Younger Grasp of the Xie household and even talked about the subject of the Xie household was in search of a daughter-in-law.

She was silent for some time as they talked about it and instantly replied jokingly, “Does the Xie household have any particular necessities? If I am going see them, would they approve of me?”

He solely started to contemplate this matter and ask about her ideas after she spoke about it. If she was unwilling on the time, there was nothing he may do, even when he wished to get nearer to the Xie household.

Xia Jin didn’t consider in his rationalization, however she didn’t argue with him anymore. She requested coldly, “The place is the Xie residence? Take me there. ”

Ye Yuan Nian hurriedly suggested, “They’ve already been married. What’s the purpose of going over there now? If one thing unhealthy occurs, An An would be the one to undergo ultimately. I feel the Xie household treats her–”

Xia Jin interrupted him with out a hint of politeness, “You don’t want to fret about that.”

Ye Yuan Nian replied, “It’s already late. Can we go tomorrow?”

Xia Jin regarded up and mentioned with a decided expression, “In the event you don’t wish to take me there, then give me the handle. I’ll go there myself.”

“……”

Ultimately, Ye Yuan Nian compromised. “Give me a minute; I’ll go change.”

Xie residence.

Ye An completed massaging Xie Shuo’s temples and helped him up. She glanced outdoors and mentioned, “It appears prefer it’s about to rain outdoors, so let’s not take a stroll at the moment. How about we watch a film at house?”

Xie Shuo turned his head, and his expression clearly mentioned, “I can’t see, so there’s no level.”

Ye An clung to his arm, performing like a spoiled youngster. “You could not be capable of see, however you’ll be able to pay attention. Simply stick with me; I haven’t watched a film shortly.”

Xie Shuo was trapped by her and couldn’t refuse, so he acquiesced ultimately.

Ye An dragged him to their house movie show, took out their DVD binder, and started to choose motion pictures out. Ultimately, she selected a extremely rated suspenseful horror film. 

Xie Shuo was beside her anyway, so there was no should be afraid.

Ye An inserted the DVD and sat on the couch with Xie Shuo. She took a blanket and lined their legs.

Quickly, the film started to play on the display. It was darkish at first however started to brighten up quickly afterward.

The standard of the graphics and sound results was top-notch, and the environment was good.

The room was pitch-dark, and the one mild got here from in entrance of them, which made their environment much more suspenseful.

Ye An stared on the display with a tense expression, not even daring to take a breath. She was initially holding a pillow in her arms, however when a bounce scare appeared with eerie sound results, she was so frightened that the pillow dropped and rolled to the bottom.

She didn’t bend over to choose it up and selected to carry onto Xie Shuo as a substitute.

The person’s fingers had been slender and clean, and he or she felt fairly safe holding it. 

Xie Shuo felt the power in her grip and turned to “look” at her with a clean expression. Though he didn’t look comfortable, he didn’t break freed from her maintain.

Not lengthy after, there was one other creepy sound.

This time, Ye An was so frightened that she hid straight in Xie Shuo’s arms and clutched his garments.

Xie Shuo couldn’t perceive why she selected a horror film if she was going to be this scared.

“I’m scared. Did you hear that voice?” Ye An whispered as she shrank into his arms, staring intently on the display.

The physique in his arms was gentle, and the breaths on his chest had been heat. Xie Shuo leaned towards the couch and instantly felt a bit heat with the sunshine perfume enveloping him.

Listening to no response, Ye An regarded up at his good-looking but detached face. His lips had been shut, and he or she was capable of hear every of his breaths clearly.

It was simple for amorous emotions to develop in such a darkish atmosphere and intimate place.

Ye An felt her coronary heart skip a beat and her face progressively turn into heat. She raised her head to look into his eyes and momentarily forgot in regards to the film taking part in.

Not lengthy later, an arm wrapped firmly round her again and felt its method upwards.

At midnight room, she observed his Adam’s apple shifting and his respiration getting heavier.

Ye An grew to become inexplicably nervous and unconsciously bit her lip.

Nevertheless, a low voice interrupted her ideas, feeling like a bucket of chilly water was poured over her head.

“In the event you’re that scared, then don’t watch it.”

Ye An: ???

At this cut-off date, shouldn’t the plot naturally gravitate in the direction of one thing extra thrilling?

After Xie Shuo completed talking, he moved his hand towards her shoulders. 

He didn’t pull her straight off of him, which was most likely his final concession.

Ye An was disenchanted , and there was a little bit of dissatisfaction in her expression.

She let go of him and returned to her spot however couldn’t assist however whisper, “Under no circumstances. I actually marvel how an individual such as you has a spouse.”

Though she spoke quietly, Xie Shuo had sharp listening to and was capable of hear it.

He regarded up and mentioned coldly, “You need to actually ask your self this query.”

He was implying that as his spouse, why ought to he must marvel why she wished to be his partner?

Ye An: “…”

In the event you’re so good at arguing, why don’t you go struggle the remainder of the world?

Ye An was about to get indignant, and he or she yanked the blanket. “I misplaced my thoughts, okay!”

I should have been insane to marry you!

Xie Shuo froze the second his physique was uncovered to the chilly air.

Ye An wrapped the blankets round her, and the extra she considered it, the angrier she grew to become. She picked up the pillow from the bottom and threw it at him.

When Xie Shuo was hit by the pillow, his expression sank, and he instantly requested, “What aren’t you pleased with?”

“……”

Ye An instantly blushed, embarrassed and indignant. She resembled a cat whose tail had been stepped on. “Who’s sad? You need me to be sad?”

Listening to her agitated tone, Xie Shuo’s temper lightened, and his lips slowly curved.

Seeing the curve in his lips, Ye An groaned, much more embarrassed. It felt as if she had simply run via a crowd bare and even made her toes numb.

The horror film continued to play on the large display and emitted bizarre sound results every so often.

She had no place to vent her feelings, so she kicked his leg. “Why don’t you proceed your abstinence for the remainder of your life then; don’t ever contact a lady!”

Ye An was not within the temper to observe the film, so she bought up angrily and turned off the projector.

Xie Shuo didn’t transfer and continued to sit down at the hours of darkness.

After turning the projector off, Ye An hesitated for a bit earlier than strolling over, selecting up the dropped pillow, and nudging his leg together with her knee. “We’re not watching anymore; let’s go.”

Xie Shuo leaned ahead and reached for her waist by following her facet. He instantly hugged her.

Earlier than Ye An may react, she was already in his lap. 

She froze and was inexplicably nervous. “What are you doing?”

Xie Shuo hugged her and instantly recalled the phrases she had mentioned throughout sundown the opposite day.

“In case your eyes don’t heal, we’ll keep married for a lifetime.”

He paused for a second earlier than shifting his hand up her shoulders and greedy her chin. His fingertips rested on her lips.

Then, he kissed her evenly.

Not like final time, there was no hostility or anger in his gaze, solely tranquility.

Ye An inhaled the clear scent on his physique and unconsciously pulled the hem of his shirt nearer, her eyes slowly closing.

Nevertheless, simply as their lips softly touched, a knock on the door instantly sounded––
