The ring was slowly pushed to the root of the finger.
Heart throbbing non-stop.
Ye Wen was a little flustered, even his breathing was messed up.
Before she came back to her senses, Xie Shuo had already let go of her hand, sat down again, and returned to the previous indifferent state, with no extra expression on his face.
Ye Wen was not as calm as him, touched the ring on his hand, and glanced at him, the strange feeling in his heart still seemed to have not dissipated.
—Calm down, Ye Wen, this is a business marriage, you have no affection!
— This is a man without feelings, you have to hold on!
She took a deep breath, it was rare for her to settle down, and she didn't deliberately provoke him again.
Spring and Jingming, beside the sidewalk, there are begonias in full bloom, and the overlapping flower branches are like haze in the eyes.
Ye Wen gradually became sleepy, leaning against the seat and squinting for a while.
When she woke up, she happened to be outside Xie's house, she took out the small mirror to touch up her makeup, and followed Xie Shuo to get out of the car.
Before getting out of the car and taking two steps, Ye Wen saw a familiar face——Xie Yuran.
Standing in a colorful garden, he is dressed in white and black trousers, with a slender figure and a smile on his face.
Ye Wen's standard smile suddenly froze.
After the accident that night, Ye Wen almost forgot about him, but he bumped into Xie when he entered Xie's house.
I hope he will forget me long ago... Ye Wen prayed silently in his heart.
"Brother." Xie Yuran came up to meet him, and called Xie Shuo first.
Then he turned to Ye Wen, and when his eyes fell on her face, he froze slightly.
Ye Wen was a little nervous, moved to the side, took Xie Shuo's arm, and lowered his head slightly.
Xie Shuo was held by her suddenly, and his movements were still very intimate, he couldn't help frowning, and raised his hand to pull her away.
Ye Wen immediately hugged him even tighter, and she also snuggled up to him, looking like a sweet and shy bride.
No matter how upset Xie Shuo was on this occasion, it was impossible for him to get angry and drag her down, so he could only endure it with a cold face.
"Sister-in-law."
After a while, Xie Yuran finally spoke, his tone was flat, and he didn't know if he recognized her or not.
Ye Wen skillfully put on a polite smile, nodded his head as a gesture, and walked in with Xie Shuo on his arm without looking sideways.
The spring sun fell on the snow-white skirt, floating a golden halo.
After walking far away, Ye Wen breathed a sigh of relief, and let go of Xie Shuo by the way.
In the end, because Xie Shuo was used to her leading the way, he accidentally tripped over the front steps and almost fell.
Ye Wen hurriedly supported him again, took the opportunity to educate him and said, "Didn't you let me help you just now? Look, you almost fell?"
There was a little pride in his tone.
Xie Shuo was so angry that his face turned blue, and he pulled her away.
Just pulled it away, and was held by Ye Wen again.
She coaxed him like a child: "Okay, there are so many people here, don't lose your temper."
Xie Shuo's face turned green again.
-----
Ye Wen walked in with Xie Shuo on his arm, and in the living room, he saw Mr. Xie who had rushed over from the old house.
The old man had gray hair and kind eyes, and looked not in good spirits, Xie Baiyan was by his side.
The two walked up to him.
"Ashuo."
The old man held Xie Shuo's hand, and the corners of his eyes were slightly wet. This is his most beloved grandson, but unexpectedly...
In front of the old man, Xie Shuo finally restrained his hostility, and his face softened slightly: "Grandpa."
The old man turned to Ye Wen again, squinting his eyes and looking her up and down.
Ye Wen suppressed the tension in his heart, took the initiative to hold his hand, and smiled slightly: "Grandpa."
The old man nodded in agreement, patted the back of her hand, and put her hand together with Xie Shuo's.
When the skin touches, it is warm and continuous.
Ye Wen raised his eyes and glanced at Xie Shuo, this time, he finally didn't walk away with a cold face.
Afterwards, the old man asked someone to bring over a box with elegant patterns. Inside was a jade bracelet, transparent and pure, as moist as water.
"Come on, this is a meeting gift from grandpa. From now on, you two, please be good..."
Ye Wen took it with a smile: "Thank you, Grandpa."
…

After the basic process of identifying relatives was completed, Ye Wen was finally free and could go to the new house to rest for a while.
Xie Shuo didn't know who called her away. She looked around in the room alone, familiarizing herself with the environment of the new house she was about to move into.
The cold master bedroom is connected to the equally cool cloakroom. In the cloakroom, the lighting is warmer and shines on the glass of the item table, giving off a dreamy and magnificent beauty.
On the side of the bedroom, there are panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows. On the wide balcony, there are seasonal flowers and plants. When Ye Wen came over last time, he didn't seem to see it. It should be newly arranged.
Ye Wen swayed around, and finally his eyes fell on the big bed in the center of the bedroom, with double pillows, and the quilt cover was neat, without any wrinkles.
Ye Wen felt a little hot for no reason, and moved his eyes away, planning to sit on the balcony for a while.
Suddenly there was a sound behind him, and a little girl sneaked in, with big black eyes and strange spirit, she looked about seven or eight years old.
Because it was a family banquet, not many guests came today, and there were almost no children. I don't know who came with this one.
Ye Wen was stunned for a moment.
The little girl blinked her big eyes, looked at her curiously for a few seconds, then tilted her head: "Sister, you are so beautiful."
Tilting his head to kill, and still being so cute, Ye Wen's heart was instantly melted.
She bent down, met her eyes, and smiled: "You are beautiful too."
The little girl shook her head solemnly: "Mom said that the bride is the most beautiful."
Ye Wen was happy, reached out to touch her head, and asked: "Whose little princess are you, so smart and cute?"
Seeing the smile on her face, the little girl lost all guard and happily took her hand.
"My name is Sui Sui... "
Ye Wen happened to be bored alone, so he played with her.
Soon, crisp laughter came from the room—
"... my sister can imitate many voices, do you want to listen?"
"Really? Then you can imitate the sound of a cat?"
"Meow-"
"Wow! It looks like that! Where's the little bird?"
"Cuckoo..."
"Where's the frog?"
"..."
Looking at the surprised and innocent smiling face in front of him, Ye Wen deeply felt that he was quite talented in amusing children.
After arguing for a while, the little girl suddenly asked curiously: "Sister, how did you and Brother Shuo know each other?"
Ye Wen was caught off guard, and choked—is it necessary to tell her that we are a business marriage, and we decided to get married after meeting
No, you can't hurt a child's fragile and pure heart like this...
Ye Wen pondered for a moment, then revealed his dazed eyes, and said in a soft and slow recalling tone——
"It was a dark night, and it was raining outside..."
After saying a few words, the little girl asked with wide eyes, "Sister, do you want to tell a ghost story?"
Ye Wen: "..."
"Don't tell ghost stories, tell how your brother and I met."
Ye Wan cleared his throat, adjusted his tone, and rephrased—
"It was a rainy night, and the weather was a bit cold. My sister was only wearing a skirt and didn't bring an umbrella... My sister was sitting on the side of the street alone, trying to go home, but she couldn't go home. At this time, your brother appeared..."
She described it seriously, with a focused expression, as if she was really immersed in a certain memory.
The little girl asked, "And then? Did brother lend you an umbrella?"
Ye Wen shook his head, lowered his eyes and smiled slightly: "No, he didn't lend me an umbrella, he sent me home directly, and then..."
She paused for a moment, then raised her head, her eyes were shining brightly, showing the appearance of a young girl with a spring heart: "Then I fell in love with him at first sight!"
In the next second, Ye Wen's smile froze on his face.
The bedroom door was not closed, Xie Shuo walked to the door at some point, and faced here with an expressionless face, his face was as cold as an iceberg, which did not fit the description of "love at first sight" at all.
Ye Wen: ...
Face off on the spot.
The little girl seemed a little afraid of Xie Shuo, seeing him appear, she whispered "goodbye, sister", jumped off the sofa, and quickly slipped away.
The room that was still bursting with laughter suddenly fell into silence, and there was a hint of embarrassment in the air.
Xie Shuo entered the room, fumbled for the armrest of the sofa, and sat down beside him.
After a long while, Ye Wencai recovered from the embarrassment, glanced at him, coughed softly, and explained: "That... I was just making up nonsense just now, you... don't take it seriously..."
Xie Shuo's expression remained unchanged, his face was indifferent, apparently he didn't take what he just heard to heart at all.
... It seems that her explanation is redundant.
Ye Wen only felt that he had punched the cotton, and felt a little blocked in his heart.
The two sat in silence.
There is no one for the newlyweds to do what they do.
After being silent for a while, Ye Wen began to look around boredly.
The white walls are clean, not even a wedding photo.
Looking around, he turned back to Xie Shuo. The man's eyes were stern, with a white shirt and a tight bow tie, elegant and luxurious, especially seductive.
Ye Ming stared at him intently, and suddenly thought: There is no wedding photo, so taking a group photo is fine!
She quietly took out her phone, called up the selfie function, and moved towards him calmly.
Moved to his side, tilted his head to his side, just raised the phone, and suddenly heard him say coldly—
"what are you doing?"
Ye Wen tilted his head, and Xie Shuo happened to turn his face towards her, his deep eyes were facing her, and his brows were slightly frowned.
For a moment, Ye Wen even suspected that he was not blind.
There was only a gap between the two of them, breathing could be heard, and ambiguity abounded.
Ye Wen's heart trembled suddenly, and he was stunned for two seconds, then quickly moved away, and said, "You rubbed dirt on your face, I'll wipe it off for you."
She stretched out her hand in a panic, and wiped his face decently.
Suddenly her fingers were caught, Xie Shuo took her hand away, stood up indifferently, and walked towards the bathroom.
"..."
A basin of cold water was poured over his head, and the throbbing that had just arisen in Ye Wen's heart instantly cooled down, and the ambiguity also weathered into smoke.
A man without feelings.
Ye Wen curled his lips and threw the phone aside.
----
After a while, Xie Shuo came out after washing his face. Ye Wen didn't want to stay with him in a daze like a fool, so he got up from the sofa, adjusted his hair and skirt, and planned to go out for a walk.
In the end, before he had taken two steps, another figure suddenly appeared at the door, dressed in white and black trousers—it was Xie Yuran.
Ye Wen was in a daze, without even thinking about it, he turned around and hugged Xie Shuo who was next to him.
Xie Shuo was taken aback.
The soft body cuddled against him, and the breath on the side of the neck sprayed, and the exhalation was warm, dispelling the dampness.
Ye Wen put her hands around his thin waist, and buried her face in his neck.
"I'm hypoglycemic and a little dizzy, let me hug you for a while..."
The author has something to say: My aunt came here today, like a useless person, I also want to ask for a hug~
There is an obvious foreshadowing in this chapter, about Xiaoye and Xiaoxie’s first encounter O(∩_∩)O~
Are there still red envelopes falling at the bottom of this chapter~
