Ye Yan froze for a moment, and his breathing became heavier. "Why are you jealous of her? Jealous... that she has Xiang Muyang's child?"
The truth is often spoken after drinking.
If Shu Nian was really jealous of this, Ye Yan didn't know if she could bear it. Was it true that she didn't want to get a divorce at all
"My mom abandoned me and my dad, but she tried her best to please Ning Meng... She made chicken soup for her, peeled fruit for her, took care of her, and endured her cold stares..."
"My mother doesn't want me anymore, but she tries so hard to become Ning Meng's mother..."
At this point, Shu Nian was so grief-stricken that she choked up and couldn't say a word. She just cried on Ye Yan's shoulder like a child who had suffered a great injustice. Ye Yan didn't leave, but just stood there, carrying her on his back, letting her cry.
Her cries were sad and desolate, and each one twisted Ye Yan's heart.
I don't know how long she cried, but she seemed to be tired and finally stopped crying. She lay quietly on his shoulder, her breathing slowly calmed down.
"Shu Nian..." Ye Yan called her softly, with a sense of depression in his voice.
"Hmm?" There was a hint of tiredness in the single syllable.
Ye Yan raised his eyes and looked at the quiet night scene in front of him with a far-reaching gaze. "Since you care about her so much, why don't you try to talk to her? Maybe... you can still forgive her."
Shu Nian was silent for a moment, then slowly shook his head, "I don't know. I don't know if I can forgive her in the future, but at least, I can't do it now..."
Ye Yan carried her on his back and walked forward, step by step, "... Are you always so rational and clear about what you love and hate towards everyone?"
“…” Shu Nian said nothing.
"If it were me..." Ye Yan's tone became heavier, "Shu Nian, if one day you find out that I have hurt you... will you forgive me?"
On his back, Shu Nian held his arms and paused for a moment. She seemed to be more awake. "Have you ever hurt me?"
“… I mean if.”
Shu Nian was silent for a moment, then suddenly opened her lips and bit Ye Yan's neck. Tears flowed from her eyes again, and she choked: "If it's true, you can't let me know... Ye Yan, if possible, never let me know..."
The more you trust someone, the more painful the hurt will be.
She would rather be kept in the dark forever.
Ye Yan was filled with bitterness and guilt. The past was like a heavy yoke, buckling around his neck and strangling his throat. After a long while, he nodded and whispered, "Okay, I won't let you know. I'll never let you know..."
The sound was very soft, and only he could hear it.
———
When he got home, Ye Yan found that Shu Nian had fallen asleep.
There were still tears hanging in the corners of her eyes. After crying downstairs, her eyes were swollen like walnuts. However, it was obvious that the depression in her heart had been relieved a lot. The gloom that had gathered between her eyebrows all day had now dissipated a lot.
Ye Yan put her on the big bed, gently stroked the gauze on her forehead with his long fingers, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then pulled the quilt to cover her.
Then, he took clothes from the cupboard and went to the bathroom.
—
Shu Nian woke up after only a few minutes of sleep, feeling uncomfortable all over. It was impossible to sleep without taking a shower in this weather. She got up from the bed in a daze, feeling that the world was spinning and her head was buzzing.
She staggered, holding onto the wall to find the bathroom. In fact, she had no idea where the bathroom was, where the kitchen was, or even where she was. But when she heard the sound of water splashing, she was smart enough to follow the sound and look inside.
Shu Nian pushed open the bathroom door and staggered in.
Ye Yan was taking a shower through the glass. The hot water was misty and the glass was covered with water vapor. Looking from Shu Nian's direction, he could only vaguely see a figure.
Hearing the noise, Ye Yan subconsciously looked outside, saw Shu Nian, and stroked his forehead.
Why did she get up
and…
She actually walked towards the shower where he was taking a shower!
"Shu Nian, stand still, don't move!" Ye Yan wrapped a towel around himself with one hand and opened the glass door with the other. He frowned and looked at the ground, "There's water everywhere, don't move!"
She was barefoot and had drunk alcohol, so she couldn't even stand steadily, let alone walk properly. If she wasn't careful, she would fall in the bathroom.
But how could Shu Nian listen to him at this moment? She staggered towards him. Ye Yan had no choice but to take a step forward and hug her.
"Weren't you asleep? Why did you wake up?" Looking at her innocent look, his tone was filled with helplessness and doting.
"I want to take a shower..." Shu Nian leaned on him, confused, but his hands were already unbuttoning his shirt. He unbuttoned two buttons at once, revealing half of his snow-white breasts, and the seductive cleavage was faintly visible.
Ye Yan's breathing became heavier and he held her hand, "Shu Nian, wake up."
Shu Nian slowly stood up and squinted her eyes at Ye Yan. Her sight went from his naked body to the towel he was wrapped in. She seemed unhappy and pushed his hand away, saying angrily, "You washed, so I want to wash too..."
She walked towards the shower room with unsteady steps. Ye Yan wanted to help her, but she pushed his hand away, and at that moment, she lost her balance and fell backwards.
Ye Yan's heart tightened, and he hugged her tightly. He spun around and fell heavily to the ground. Shu Nian pressed on him.
The fall was really heavy. If she wasn't young and strong, she would have been seriously injured. However, Shu Nian had no idea how dangerous it was. She just lay on Ye Yan, her slightly open eyes covered with a faint layer of ignorance and innocence. She looked at Ye Yan steadily, without blinking.
"What are you looking at?" Ye Yan inserted his five fingers into her hair and tidied her messy hair back. His heart was melted by her eyes. This little woman was the nemesis of him, Young Master Ye.
“… You are very good-looking.”
Ye Yan smiled, "Where is it good-looking?"
She looked so adorable with her innocent look. Ye Yan felt that he would be willing to sleep on the floor all night just holding her like this.
"It looks good here..." Shu Nian's slender, snow-white fingers gently slid across his forehead and landed on his eyes, "It looks good here too."
Slowly, sliding to the tip of the nose, "Here, it still looks good..."
Her movements were obviously pure, without any lust or temptation. However, Ye Yan took a deep breath, and felt that the fingers were like magic, burning him with flames.
at last…
Her fingers paused on his sexy thin lips.
