Late at night, the only light in the master bedroom went out, and everything became silent.
Yu Siqing lay in the quilt with her legs curled up, curling herself up habitually, and had already fallen into a deep sleep. He Yunjian had just come out of the bathroom after taking a shower and stopped at the edge of the bed.
He looked at Yu Siqing's sleeping face in silence, stretched out his long fingers to touch her, but paused when they were half an inch away, not wanting to disturb her.
After a while.
He Yunjian was leaning against a chair at the end of the bed. He could see Yu Siqing if he looked up. He had a tablet laptop on his knees. The faint halo on the screen enveloped his thin face, and his features were exquisite and perfect.
I opened Xu Shi’s unread email, which was about his worries.
He Yunjian read the entire message at a glance, without any emotion in his eyes, and only replied with the words "terminate treatment".
Xu Shi quickly asked, "Why?"
A hint of darkness appeared in He Yunjian's deep eyes as he looked at the quiet figure at the head of the bed. The reason was simple. Even if he found a hundred substitutes in New York to pretend to be Yu Siqing and stimulate her memory recovery, they would not be as good as the real her.
Since staying by her side, He Yun gradually developed an extreme desire for her body in his heart. Without suppressing it, he felt like the dust had settled.
No matter how he chose Yu Siqing back then, it was an established fact that he fell in love with her later.
He Yunjian decided to succumb to this feeling. What he wanted to recover was not the lost memory, but Yu Siqing.
Xu Shi asked again: "Mr. He, don't you want to recover all your memories?"
There was no response from He Yunjian for a long time, until the screen went completely dark.
Near the end of the year.
Yu Siqing did not move back to the He family villa with He Yunjian, and still lived in this apartment. However, she promised to return to the old house for the New Year and would not go back on her word.
The day before she went back, Yu Siqing was squatting in the cloakroom sorting out winter clothes. She was rolling up her child's socks when she heard He Yunjian say without any preamble, "Why don't we go to the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow to get a certificate? We'll have plenty of time."
Yu Siqing paused with her fingertips, her eyes were fixed on the suitcase, she didn't react, and her fair face couldn't show any expression. He Yunjian stood behind her, staring at her back in a dark green round-neck sweater, and then changed the subject in a low voice: "Give me a coat, a navy blue one."
The topic of getting the marriage certificate was tacitly changed.
Yu Siqing didn't say anything at the time. She packed her suitcase as usual and went to prepare dinner. At night, she patiently coaxed Yu Jiafan to sleep.
When He Yunjian got up in the morning, he sat up. Just as his bony fingers untied his belt, the woman's slender white hands reached out from behind and hugged him intimately. Her voice was charming and hoarse as she just woke up: "Yunjian, our relationship can't stand the tossing and turning... Can we just stay together in peace? If I don't enter the He family legitimately and sit in the position of the mistress of the house, no elders can hinder us."
Her background was too humble, unlike Gu Qingwu who had a prominent background like the richest family in Licheng.
After He Sui Chen became the clan leader and changed the ancestral rules, the He family no longer had anything to complain about Gu Qingwu.
But she is different. If she were to marry into the He family openly, it would definitely cause a bloody storm, and He Yuliu would not agree to it in the first place.
Yu Siqing was also afraid that the feelings she had finally mustered up the courage to accept He Yunjian would be destroyed by the outside world.
She didn't care about her status. Without the pressure of being the mistress of the house, she might live a more comfortable life. She didn't have to be bound by numerous rules, nor did she have to deal with people with a smiling face, and she didn't have to look at the faces of the elders of the He family.
Yu Siqing would rather be a lonely ghost outside than enter the He family.
Fortunately, He Yunjian was willing to stay with her all the time.
…
In the afternoon, the two of them took Yu Jiafan and went to the ancestral home to celebrate the New Year in a low-key manner.
On the way, Yu Siqing suddenly remembered that she forgot to buy a gift for Xiaolier. She asked He Yunjian to pull over and go to a nearby shopping mall to buy a doll or something, as the little guy had been thinking about it last time.
He Yunjian got off the car and came back within ten minutes with a Barbie doll with golden hair.
When they arrived at the ancestral home, little Li'er, wearing a red cotton-padded jacket, was already waiting for Yu Siqing at the door. Perhaps because she had lived there for several months, she was very familiar with the family. In her little head, she remembered that Yu Siqing cooked delicious meals and that her brother loved to paint.
The little guy leaned against the wall, his eyes curved into crescents as he threw himself into Yu Jiafan's arms. Then, he saw the Barbie doll in He Yunjian's hand, and smiled even more happily, calling out in a sweet voice, "Happy New Year, Uncle."
He Yunjian picked her up easily, and then walked into the lobby with Yu Siqing in his arms.
Although they had not obtained a marriage certificate, everyone in the He family knew Yu Siqing's identity and were superficially harmonious with her. Almost everyone gathered in the courtyard next to the lobby, except He Suichen, who had not returned because he was discussing a business deal.
Gu Qingwu was sitting under the lamp in a bright red fluffy dress. She didn't have to serve dishes or set the table, so she was always the one with the least time. She was asking a younger lady from the He family to take a photo of her and adjust the colors casually, and was going to post it on Weibo for her fans to see.
Yu Siqing was watching quietly beside him. Unexpectedly, after taking the photo, Gu Qingwu called her in public, "Sister-in-law."
Everyone present was silent for a moment, and subconsciously looked at He Yunjian. Seeing that he looked normal, he raised his hand and touched Yu Siqing's shoulder: "Young clan leader's wife called you, why didn't you answer?"
Gu Qingwu can fully represent He Sui Chen. She calls Yu Siqing "sister-in-law", which indirectly gives her respect in the He family.
After a while, Yu Siqing smiled and walked over.
He Sui Chen hadn't come back yet, so it was difficult for anyone to start eating. They could only wait and sit together to chat about interesting things. In the atmosphere of reunion and harmony, no one would be so tactless as to say something that would make the conversation awkward.
At this time, the little Li Er, who was surrounded and doted on by everyone, exclaimed with her beautiful dark eyes wide open, as if she had never seen the world before, and said: "Wow... My Barbie doll is bald..."
The little guy hugged the Barbie doll and kissed it all night, and was trying to change his hairstyle, but when he opened his hair, he found that there was no hair inside.
Yu Siqing looked at He Yunjian speechlessly and almost whispered to him, "Is the doll you bought for your niece a pirated one?"
He Yunjian: “…”
Beside him, Gu Qingwu saw Xiaolier holding a Barbie doll and approaching him. He said in confusion, "Why is it the Mediterranean Sea?"
He Yunjian also picked them randomly, but he chose the one that was made with shoddy work. Facing Xiao Li'er, he kept a steady expression on his face. He took out a strawberry candy from his trouser pocket and handed it to her, and also took out the New Year's money.
Everyone: “…”
Xiao Li'er was raised by He Sui Chen with love and sweets, so she had no shortage of these things. However, she did not expect that the first Barbie doll she received in her life would be a Mediterranean one. Fortunately, the little guy had a good temper and did not mind its ugliness, so he pestered Gu Qingwu to change the doll's hairstyle.
After this little episode, He Sui Chen finally arrived around nine o'clock in the evening. As soon as he entered the door, he put his black coat aside. He had not had time to change out of his formal suit. He just untied his tie and took the hot tea brought by Gu Qingwu to warm his stomach.
He was very busy at the end of the year. In addition to company matters, he also had to entertain the elders of the He family. His life was completely boring.
Seeing He Yunjian sitting on the sofa in a leisurely manner, with a child sitting on his left and right legs, this lazy and casual look made the difference between the two of them even greater. He Suichen put down his teacup and reminded him slowly: "After the Spring Festival, you should go back to work."
He Yunjian stuffed the meat puff into Xiaoli'er's mouth. His cheeks were puffy like a little squirrel. There was a smile in his eyes. After a while, he looked at his brother and said, "No hurry."
He Suichen held his daughter in his arms and gently placed his palm under her mouth: "Chew slowly, spit some out first, don't choke on it."
Then, he raised his eyelids and looked at the sofa, and saw He Yunjian stuffing another larger piece of meat into Yu Jiafan's mouth.
"… "
It took Xiaoli a long time to chew and swallow the meat crisps in her mouth. She liked the taste of meat and said to her uncle: "Ah..."
He Yunjian chuckled twice, pinched a piece of meat crisp with his long fingers and was about to hand it over, but was stopped by He Suichen. He did not allow this cramming feeding method to continue, but carefully divided the meat crisp into three small pieces, and let the little carp chew slowly as if feeding a baby bird.
He Yunjian felt that he had too much to do, so he continued to feed Yu Jiafan. Almost half of the plate of meat crisps ended up in the stomachs of the two children.
When Yu Siqing came over with two cups of sweet tea, He Suichen's handsome face was calm, but he complained: "Brother fed Fanfan a lot of meat cakes, can he digest them at night?"
Yu Siqing had already glanced over, and when no one else was paying attention, she almost sentenced He Yunjian to death.
He Yunjian raised his eyebrows: "Do you believe him?"
"He Yunjian... Meat crisps are causing internal heat. Didn't I tell you not to feed the child too much... Fanfan had a nosebleed the night before yesterday." Yu Siqing spoke to him in a tone that became softer the more angry she was. She paused for two seconds before continuing, "Will He Suichen still wrongly accuse you?"
He Suichen spoke up at the right time and said something fair: "Sister-in-law, it's time for my brother to go back to the company in the spring. As for Fanfan, you can bring her to my place to raise her so she can keep Xiaoli company."
Yu Siqing had never thought about this, but she had her own plan. She was going to spend the Spring Festival in a lively manner, and then find a listed company to be the director. So when He Suichen proposed it, she said calmly: "You brothers just need to discuss it. I can't make the decision for him."
He Suichen seemed to be smiling, his thin lips curled up slightly: "Sister-in-law is too modest... not to the point."
He Yunjian said nothing on the surface. During the reunion dinner, he quietly held Yu Siqing's hand under the table without letting go. The moment she looked at him, he also looked back: "Who can you say that you can't be my master, huh?"
Yu Siqing was afraid of attracting attention, so she could only smile faintly, her fingertips pressed against the palm of his hand, which was frighteningly hot.
He Yunjian asked again: "You are ambitious, are you tired of me staying in the apartment with you all day?"
The more he talked, the more he got out of control. Yu Siqing had no choice but to explain: "He Suichen has to deal with family affairs, maintain a harmonious relationship with Gu Qingwu, take care of his daughter, and manage the company. He is busy enough... It is understandable that He Suichen would have some complaints if you haven't been back for such a long time."
After a pause, he said seriously, "I don't find you annoying. I just consider your brotherly relationship..."
"Considering our brotherly relationship so carefully, you still help him instead of me, and even admit that you liked him."
When the old man gets jealous, he will take advantage of any opportunity and is completely unreasonable, leaving Yu Siqing speechless: "... He Yunjian, are you sure you want to bring up the past? Think about it before you answer."

I would like to recommend to you the completed ancient Chinese novel by my friend Lu Shimian: "Ti Jiao"
Copywriter:
Shen Qingzhi, the second daughter of the Marquis of Huaiyin who had suffered from heart disease since childhood and was raised in the countryside, returned to the capital when she reached the age of 15.
She should have been eager to reunite with her family, but she was surprised that the family affection was so weak. She became an abandoned child in the clan and was arranged to have a terrifying marriage.

Everyone in Kyoto knows that if you marry a man, you will either wait for death or be a widow.
Shen Qingzhi was so frightened when she heard this that she could not sleep at night. She secretly sent someone to the Grand Princess's mansion to deliver a letter saying "I will never marry."
Who would have thought that the next day, she would be held in He Yun's arms, with a hint of anger on his face: "Swear to never marry? But I don't suit your taste?"
Shen Qingzhi looked at that handsome face that was as cold as gold and jade, without any trace of country bumpkin, and broke out in a cold sweat: "Yes, yes..."
Later, Lord He doted on his wife excessively. Not only the officials in the capital, but even the new emperor had to respectfully call Shen Qingzhi "little aunt" when he saw her.
