"I'll sleep with you tonight."
Ji Xiaoyue suddenly said this as she set the table for dinner.
Ye Huanyan was slightly stunned. "I have a cold. Aren't you afraid that I'll infect you?"
"It's better than …"
"Better than what?"
Ye Huanyan bit her spoon and looked at Ji Xiaoyue quizzically. "What's wrong with you? Did you quarrel with my brother? "
"We didn't quarrel. I just don't want to go back and see him."
"So you quarreled with him?"
Ye Huanyan swallowed a mouthful of porridge and pursed her lips. "Why don't you tell me about it? I happen to be frustrated in love too. Maybe you can comfort me and make me feel better."
Ji Xiaoyue frowned. "We really didn't quarrel. I was just angry with myself and felt very uncomfortable."
"Huh? There has to be a reason. "
With that said, Ji Xiaoyue climbed onto the bed and sat opposite Ye Huanyan at the table. She tucked her legs under the blanket and looked at Ye Huanyan with a deep frown. "The reason … is because I want to die? I suddenly feel that your brother might have made a mistake by choosing me. "
"What do you mean …"
"Did you know that when I came to bring you lunch this afternoon, Mom deliberately sent me away so that your brother could meet someone?"
Ye Huanyan was eating her porridge when she heard this. She paused and put down her spoon. "My fourth sister?"
There was probably no other person in the world who could make Wen Yi send Ji Xiaoyue away so that her son could meet someone else.
"See? You guessed it right away. Your family's attitude is really …"
"What do you mean by 'our family'? I don't like to hear that."
Ye Huanyan glared at her. "Don't talk nonsense. Did you see my brother and my fourth sister doing something? Were you triggered? "
"I didn't do anything …"
Ji Xiaoyue frowned and thought for a long time. Finally, she sighed and said, "Forget it. I don't want to talk to you. It's hard to explain. Anyway, can you take me in tonight?"
Ye Huanyan stared at her for a while, but couldn't figure out what was going on even after a long time. She could only nod and agree.
"Let's not talk about me. What about you? Didn't Ling Han come to see you this afternoon?"
"Don't mention it." Ye Huanyan rolled her eyes. "You already know the answer."
Wen Yi's dissatisfaction with Ling Han was all reflected in the fact that she asked him to help her with the chores. There were obviously servants and all kinds of surplus labor at home, but she just had to take Ling Han with her.
"I heard from Sofina that my mother brought Ling Han to the mountains behind to mine in the afternoon. She said that she wanted to teach him how to identify gems and wanted to impart her lifelong knowledge to him."
"Mine …" Ji Xiaoyue twitched the corner of her mouth and said, "Don't you feel bad?"
"He reaped what he sowed."
"What?"
Ji Xiaoyue widened her eyes in surprise and said, "What's going on? I saw you sick at noon. I thought you just caught a cold. Your attitude is not right. "
Ye Huanyan's expression changed. She lowered her head and ate the porridge without saying a word. After a while, she said in a muffled voice, "He doesn't agree."
"What does he disagree about?"
"About having another child."
"Why?" Ji Xiaoyue frowned and said, "He doesn't like children?"
"Look at how obedient he is to Naonnao. Does it look like he doesn't like children?"
Ye Huanyan took a deep breath and suddenly slammed her chopsticks. Her face turned red and she said angrily, "I think he doesn't want me to give birth to his child at all."
"…"
"Men are all bad."
"I agree with you on this point."
Women were usually illogical when they were angry. It was very normal for them to dig up old scores or imagine some men's wrongdoings out of thin air. At this time, they urgently needed to vent. After venting, the matter could be considered half solved.
The two sisters hid under the blanket and after berating the man fiercely, they fell asleep contentedly.
One decided to pester him, while the other decided to forget the past.
Ye Huanyan's cold did not recover and it dragged on for three days. She did not know if Ling Han was deliberately avoiding her or if Gu Yusheng's parents deliberately stopped him, but she really did not see Ling Han in these three days. Even if they were in the same villa, they did not see each other.
However, the morning and night text messages did not stop every day. Ye Huanyan did not reply to any of them, but Ling Han insisted on sending her messages.
Three days later, Ye Huanyan's cold was mostly recovered. She woke up early and put on some light makeup before going to the East Court to eat.
When Ling Han arrived, Ye Huanyan was leaning against Wen Yi's side and talking. The two of them were talking and laughing. Ye Huanyan leaned into her arms and laughed. Her body could not stop shaking, but when she saw Ling Han enter, her expression suddenly changed and she sat up very seriously.
Ling Han greeted everyone in turn. When his gaze landed on Ye Huanyan, it was covered with a layer of warmth.
Ye Huanyan did not appreciate it. She raised her chin and snorted, looking indifferent.
When Gu Heng saw this scene, his wise eyes settled with a layer of deep meaning. He looked at Gu Sinian and said, "Nian, go to the pier at 10: 30 p.m. to pick up Uncle He."
"Uncle He is coming?"
Gu Sinian was slightly stunned. "Yes, he said that Xiaoqun wants to design an opera house. He has been studying all kinds of architecture for the past year. Recently, he has taken a fancy to the old church in our villa and wants to come and take a look. Your Uncle He has nothing to do, so he came with him to visit."
"The timing is quite good."
Gu Sinian looked at Ling Han meaningfully. "A year ago, at Yan Yan's birthday party, Uncle He recommended his son and wanted to be our son-in-law."
Wen Yi quickly waved her hand. "That won't do. Xiaoqun is too young. He is five years younger than Yan Yan."
Ji Xiaoyue giggled. "Recently, it is popular for older women to date younger men. Mom, age has never been the limit of love."
"That's true. If Yan Yan likes him, we have no objections." Wen Yi winked at her daughter with a sly look.
"Mom, I have only seen Xiaoqun twice. Apart from being younger, I really don't have any other thoughts about him."
Ye Huanyan shrugged helplessly. "Don't play matchmaker. I already have a son. Why would I ruin a good young man?"
While everyone was joking around, Gu Heng slowly sipped his tea. His gaze, intentionally or otherwise, landed on Ling Han, who was sitting opposite him.
He did not seem to be affected by this half-truth joke. He lowered his head and cut the bacon for Naonnao. He put it to his mouth and said in a low and patient tone, "Open your mouth."
"Ah …"
"Naonnao, stay away from the screen when you are playing games. Did you wear the anti-radiation glasses I gave you yesterday?"
"They are too heavy. My nose hurts. I don't want to wear them." Compared to Ling Han's patient look, Naonnao was much more perfunctory and even a little impatient.
Ling Han frowned and lowered his voice to persuade him. "Naonnao, those glasses are not much heavier than a piece of paper."
Naonnao sniffed and jumped off the chair with his game console. "I am full …"
After saying that, he walked away with the servant. He did not take Ling Han, his real father, seriously at all.
No one was surprised by this scene. Usually, only Ye Huanyan would reprimand him. However, at this moment, she did not say anything and only frowned.
