Yan Bolai has thick eyebrows and big eyes, his face is long and thin, and even when he is not angry, he looks somewhat dignified. When he stares at you with his fierce eyes, it makes people feel short of breath, as if a boulder weighing thousands of pounds is pressing down on their chest.
Even as his son, Yan Xiangma also finds it difficult to withstand the power of such a thunderous gaze.
He bowed his head and played with the spoon in his hand, avoiding his father's gaze and said: "It's the one who risked his life to save Xiaoxin when she was attacked in the coffee shop, the hospital he stayed in was arranged by our family. I asked someone to investigate, the boy is called Li Muyang, Xiaoxin's classmate. Xiaoxin is kind, she felt that she owed him, so she wanted to help him with his homework. "
"The hero saves the beauty?" Yan Bolai's face became more gloomy as he said: "Have you investigated his background?"
"His identity is clean. His family has lived in Jiangnan city for more than ten years. It's impossible for him to be a spy arranged by any family. More than ten years ago, Xiaoxin had not yet arrived in Jiangnan city. Even the Cui family did not have the intention to send her to Jiangnan city. "Yan Xiangma said aloud.
"Don't be careless." Yan Bolai's eyes softened a lot, he looked at his son Yan Xiangma and said: "The Cui family has a daughter who has just grown up, they are afraid that some people with ulterior motives will deliberately get close to her. If it is not handled properly, it will be a huge disaster. Tiandu is not peaceful recently, the Cui family wants to form an alliance with the Song family, and Xiaoxin and the Song family's' Song family's beautiful jade 'Song Tinyun are childhood sweethearts. Therefore, the two families intend to make them a pair — – This time when Xiaoxin returns to the capital, I'm afraid this matter will be put on the agenda. At this time, we must not let any other incidents happen. "
"Xiaoxin is going to be engaged to Song Tinyun?" Cui Xinci's face was full of surprise as he said: "Such a big thing, why didn't I receive any news?"
"We're still in the midst of secret negotiations. Whether or not we can reach a conclusion depends on the two elders' approval. The Old Master of the Song Family, who used to shake heaven and earth, was over a hundred years old. Recently, his old illness had flared up, and it was said that his physical condition was extremely poor. Whether or not he could survive this winter was still unknown. Under such circumstances, the Song Family also needed a strong ally to help them overcome the loss of prestige brought about by the death of the Old Master. I'm afraid the Song Family values this marriage more. "
"Song Tinyun is known as the 'Beautiful Jade of the Song Family'. His appearance and temperament are impeccable. Moreover, he was one of the earliest experts of the younger generation to enter the Free Clouds Realm. He was one of the most valued youths of the empire. If Xiaoxin really marries him, it will not be a grievance. "Cui Xinci said with a smile on her face. She was very happy for her niece to find a good home. "However, shouldn't we discuss this with Xiaoxin first? Xiaoxin was soft on the outside but hard on the inside. She had a stubborn personality. If she has someone she likes in her heart, I'm afraid her brother and sister-in-law won't be able to force her. "
Yan Bolai looked at his beloved wife with a rare smile on his face. "That's the matter of your Cui family. I, an outsider, can't make the decision. Why don't you go and ask? "
"You can't make the decision. Do you think I can make the decision? A married daughter is like spilled water. As a member of the Cui family, I'm afraid I'm not as important as you, an outsider, in their hearts. After all, you are the Lord of Jiangnan City. They always have to take your face into consideration. "
Yan Bolai knew his wife's straightforward character. He smiled and shook his head. "Xiaoxin's matter still needs to be properly dealt with. Even if there is a little flame, it must be extinguished in time. Otherwise, if a single spark starts a prairie fire, I'm afraid we won't be able to do anything. "
"Father, don't worry. I will take care of it." Yan Xiangma respectfully replied.
Yan Bolai nodded. "You guys eat slowly. I have to go to work."
With that, he pushed away the wooden chair, stood up and walked outside.
Yan Xiangma sent his father out. When he returned, his mother was sitting in the living room making tea.
Seeing Yan Xiangma come back, Cui Xinci asked aloud: "Xiangma, did you do what I told you?"
"Mum, I wanted to tell you about this." Yan Xiangma said with a wry smile. "That boy refused."
"Refused?" Cui Xinci was shocked. "That box of pearls is priceless. It's enough for them to live a life of luxury. Also, the admission notice from Jiangnan University — -he's a poor and ugly waste student, yet he's not satisfied? What does he want? "
"Mum, he's not a waste — –"
"What? If he's not a waste then he can demand an exorbitant price? " Cui Xinci was very angry. She treats people with sincerity and offers generous conditions, but she did not expect to meet a guy who dares to extort her. Isn't this the same as lighting a lamp in the toilet, courting death?
Yan Xiangma pursed his lips and said: "Mum, if I said he did it for true love, would you believe it?"
"True love?" Cui Xinci's mouth chewed over this unfamiliar word. Ever since he was a child, no one has ever mentioned the word 'true love' in front of him.
"True love." Yan Xiangma nodded seriously. "To tell you the truth, I'm moved by him. Why don't we betroth cousin to him, I believe he will treat cousin sincerely — – "
Pa — –
Cui Xinci slapped her son's head and said angrily: "At this time, you still have the mood to joke? Originally I asked you to solve the problem because I wanted to form a good relationship with that child. In any case, he saved our family's Xiaoxin. Our Cui family owes him a favour. If he wants money, we'll give him money. If he wants a future, we can also give him a future — -but for Xiaoxin, we can't do that. "
"Did you not hear what your father said just now? He's just a child from an ordinary family, how can he compete with the Cui family? Compete with the Song family? Isn't that courting death? If we force him and Xiaoxin together, it's not helping him, it's harming him. Xiangma, hurry and think of a way to solve this matter, if your father personally takes action, the consequences would be too serious. "
"Mum — –" Yan Xiangma stroked his head that was slapped by his mother and said in a puzzled tone: "He's just a poor boy, why do you care so much?"
"A child from an ordinary family is still a child." Cui Xinci sighed softly. "Children of this age don't know the immensity of heaven and earth, they want to reach out and pluck the moon — -but that's not bravery, it's stupidity. Go, deal with it gently, I don't want him to have any complaints against us, and I also don't want Xiaoxin to be sad. "
"Mum, that Li Muyang — –" Yan Xiangma wanted to say something but hesitated.
"What's wrong with Li Muyang?"
"He's really evil." Yan Xiangma said with a smile. "Being together with my cousin is like a briquet falling into a snowstorm."
Pa — –
Yan Xiangma's head received another slap.
----
Li Muyang did not know that he had become the topic of conversation at the Yan family's breakfast table, nor did he know that he was even involved with a huge family's marriage alliance in Tiandu.
He was simply happy because of Cui Xiaoxin's arrival, and because the two of them simply looked at each other in the eyes, he felt extremely sweet.
This was a field that he had never set foot in before, the kind of heart-pounding emotion that he did not experience with his sister Li Shinian.
Love is like sugar, sweet to the point of sadness.
Li Muyang's current mood was both sweet and sad.
When Cui Xiaoxin came over, Li Muyang had already eaten breakfast and finished two sets of high school papers.
Seeing Cui Xiaoxin coming over, Li Muyang quickly walked out to greet her and said with a smile: "Have you had breakfast? Do you want to drink something? "
You see, a man without any experience in love has such a jumpy mind.
"Give me a cup of tea." Cui Xiaoxin nodded and said.
"Sit down first." Li Muyang invited Cui Xiaoxin to sit down and then ran in to pour tea.
Cui Xiaoxin pointed to the lapis lazuli table that they used to study and asked: "How did the table become like this?"
"Oh, when my dad was practicing yesterday, Xiaoxin accidentally pushed the table over — – so it became like this." Li Muyang guessed that Cui Xiaoxin might ask, so he prepared the answer in advance. Look at him now, isn't he very smart?
"Oh." Cui Xiaoxin nodded and said: "Does uncle Li practice swordsmanship?"
"Why do you ask?"
"Otherwise, how could the surface of the table be so neat?"
“----”
Fortunately, Cui Xiaoxin is not a gossipy person, she did not put too much thought on the table. She checked the two papers that Li Muyang did this morning and said: "As long as you can answer the questions, they are generally correct. Then, let's talk about the questions that you did not answer — – for example this question, what do you think you don't understand? "
"I don't know the solution to this question at all, I don't know where to start."
"That's because you didn't listen in class. This question seems to have no clue, and the numbers given don't have any correlation. However, there's a formula that can help, you just need to put that formula in and you can easily get the answer — – "
As she spoke, Cui Xiaoxin had already written a mathematical formula on the blank space of the paper with a fountain pen.
When he was with Cui Xiaoxin, time always flies by.
When the sky darkened, Li Muyang's parents came home from work, and Li Shinian also came back from school with his schoolbag on his back.
As usual, Cui Xiaoxin once again got up to leave.
Li Muyang could not stop her, so he got up to see her off.
"Are you coming tomorrow?" Li Muyang asked aloud.
"Yes." Cui Xiaoxin gently brushed away the hair on her forehead, revealing her crystal clear left ear. "Until the night before the exam."
"Thank you." Li Muyang said with a face full of gratitude. He knew that since Yan Xiangma came to his door, it means that Cui Xiaoxin must be under pressure at home. However, she had never mentioned it to him. Instead, she insisted on coming to tutor him as usual.
She really is a woman that easily makes people fall in love with her.
Cui Xiaoxin thought for a moment, then took out a brocade pouch from her bosom.
"This is for you." Cui Xiaoxin smiled and handed over the brocade pouch.
"What is this?" Li Muyang asked.
"I asked for two." Cui Xiaoxin's face was crimson red, under the dim light, she looked weak like a camellia swaying in the wind. "They said it can bless us with good results."
