“…”
The man did not move and stood quietly, with little expression on his face.
Seeing that he didn't respond, Lu Xiu pushed him angrily.
"If you don't know how to work, get out! I'm not doing you any favors by recruiting people!"
He was pushed back and staggered half a step, but quickly stood up and nodded firmly, "I can do it well. I can definitely do it well."
"Sorry, we quit!!!"
A warm little hand suddenly grasped his at a loss.
There was a familiar voice in his ears, so familiar that Jiang Beiyuan immediately raised his eyes as a reflex.
Tears accumulated in Yan Nian's eyes. That aloof man was here just now, being reprimanded in a lowly manner. He was obviously reluctant, but he still listened patiently.
Where is his pride, where is his self-respect? !
He was born to overlook all living beings, how could he suffer such injustice here? !
"Haha, little girl, is this handsome guy your boyfriend?" Beard picked up his teeth with a toothpick and looked at Yan Nian.
"No, it's my husband!"
"Oh, it's the same anyway," Bearded Beard disagreed, "Your partner broke five plates and three bowls in my store, how do you pay for it?"
“…”
Without saying a word, Yan Nian took out several one-hundred-dollar bills from his wallet and threw them directly on his bearded face.
"The compensation is enough!"
Then he looked sideways at Jiangbeiyuan and took off his apron.
"Let's go home!"
Jiang Beiyuan was passively pulled by her arm and walked away.
Pulling him out, the cool evening breeze blew away Yan Nian's low ponytail, his plain little face, beads of sweat hanging from the tip of his nose, and the overwhelming redness in the depths of each other's clear eyes.
"Daughter-in-law..."
"Don't call me! What are you doing? Run out without saying a word and serve people dishes here? Do you know that you are Jiang Beiyuan? Do you know how noble you are? How can you do this? Work?"
"I… "
The handsome man crossed his hands blankly.
Faced with her anger and confusion, he patiently said:
"I said, I make money to support the family, and you can be responsible for looking as beautiful as a flower."
Yan Nian was stunned.
The overwhelming sadness enveloped her from head to sole.
The next second she hugged him hard.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean what I said. I take it back. You don't look like a woman at all, and you don't look like a mother-in-law at all. Jiang Beiyuan, ah no, brother Jiang Ting is the most manly man in the world. Not even comparable."
"But I'm afraid you'll run away."
He reached out and hugged her back, rubbing the crook of her neck aggrievedly.
"I have no money, I'm your soft-boiler, what should I do if you run away and don't want me anymore?"
"Won't."
Yan Nian took a breath, exhaled it gently, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and raised the corners of his mouth with a smile.
"Brother Jiang Ting, I am by your side and will never leave."
Jiangbeiyuan was moved.
He let go of Yan Nian and bumped her forehead with his forehead.
Lately he likes to express his joy this way.
There were still tears in the corners of her eyes, so he leaned forward and kissed the remaining teardrops in the corners of her eyes.
"I love you."
When he said this, a pool of pure water flowed from his eyes, so clean that there was no impurity at all.
No matter how many years pass, no matter how beautiful the years are, his love for her has not changed.
He will always love her, to the end.
Yan Nian nodded with tears in his eyes, "Me too, I love you."
I love you.
Traveling all over the country.
It's you who comes back.
It's always you.
