"I heard from Ding Baoyi that a mistress is living in your house. Isn't it none of his business?"
“…”
Yan Nian said nothing.
She lowered her long eyelashes, a flash of disappointment flashed across her eyes, and then she raised her eyes and shook her head.
"He also has many things that he is incompetent about. Husband and wife should understand each other. At least he is loyal to me. I think this is enough."
"Can-"
He Huaiguang wanted to say something more, but his cell phone rang.
It's Yan Nian's cell phone.
Looking at the caller ID, Yan Nian pursed his lips, made a silent gesture to He Huaiguang, and then answered the call.
"Hey, hubby..."
He Huaiguang was stunned.
He looked at Yan Nian. Her voice was deliberately lowered when she spoke, but her expression could not deceive anyone. Her attachment and longing for the man on the other end of the phone were all included in it.
However, Jiang Beiyuan's voice on the other end of the phone was a little cold, "Where are you, huh?"
Yan Nian's right eyelid suddenly twitched when he heard this, and then he smiled dryly, "Of course I'm at Ding Baoyi's house, where else could I be."
"Really at Ding Baoyi's house?"
His voice was three-quarters calm and seven-tenths of suppressed anger. Yan Nian took a deep breath, thinking that Jiang Beiyuan would not come back so soon. Since he told a lie, there was no need for a second lie. There were some things. Saying too much makes it more complicated.
"Of course I'm at Ding Baoyi's house. Ding Baoyi has gone to work now. I'm sitting alone in her house doing nothing. When will you come back? Do you need me to pick you up at the airport?"
“…”
There was silence on the other end for a few seconds.
The sound of the man's deep breathing and the rustle of leaves in the wind penetrated Yan Nian's ears.
She inexplicably felt that the rustling of the leaves was familiar. Before she could react, Jiang Beiyuan spoke again in a deep voice the next second -
"Look back!"
Yan Nian: "..."
She finally realized what slow motion was in a movie shot.
The moment they looked at each other was like looking across a long, distant river. After the turbulent waves, there was calmness and indifference. Everything was silent, leaving only a few tiny shells remaining on the surface of the beach.
For a few seconds, Yan Nian felt that her center of gravity was unstable. Xu was still very weak just after being discharged from the hospital, so her body shook a little. He Huaiguang held her waist firmly.
"Are you okay?!"
She smiled at He Huaiguang, "I'm pretending, it's really okay."
Then he brushed his hand away and walked towards Jiangbeiyuan.
The distance in between is only two meters, but every step is so long and arduous.
The tall man, with his arms folded, wore a black coat with a white shirt underneath, and a snow-white stand-up collar that outlined his outline and facial features, which were three-dimensional.
He was tall and had a broad back, so standing like this, his strong back blocked a large amount of sunlight.
Without the reflection of the sun, Yan Nian's face was not so pale and haggard. The slap marks on his face were hidden by his long hair and could not be seen at all.
"You're back… "
I felt a little unsure and wanted to hug him, but I felt like he was angry.
Jiang Beiyuan put his cell phone away in his pants pocket, his eyebrows were heavy and as cold as snow.
Of course he was angry.
Angry that she lied to him.
Angry that she was still talking and laughing with He Huaiguang.
"Mrs. Jiang, is this what you said at Ding Baoyi's house?"
"Um, I..."
She sighed, thought for a while, and explained: "Sorry, I slept at Ding Baoyi's house at night. He Huaiguang had something to do with me, so during the day..."
"Then why did you lie to me?"
