Shen Xiaolan was still at work and was not very easy to talk to. After Xie Qingxiao came back from getting medicine for Lin Xiangyi, Lin Xiangyi said goodbye to Shen Xiaolan.

"Did you feel that Xiaolan looked at you strangely just now?" Lin Xiangyi asked Xie Qingxiao after coming out of Baicaotang.

She felt that Shen Xiaolan wanted to tell her about Zhang Pengfei, but it didn't seem like that. Instead, Shen Xiaolan looked at Xie Qingxiao with a strange look in her eyes.

Xie Qingxiao pushed the bicycle out of the shed and turned his head to look at Lin Xiangyi, "Is there one?"

It seems so. Shen Xiaolan no longer looks afraid of him like before. She seems quite surprised and delighted.

Why is there such a change?

Xie Qingxiao thought about it and figured out why.

Zhang Pengfei has been getting a little close to Shen Xiaolan recently. He probably told Shen Xiaolan that he liked Lin Xiangyi before.

Lin Xiangyi didn't know what Xie Qingxiao was thinking. She sat sideways on the bicycle, holding Xie Qingxiao's thin waist with one hand, wondering if she had seen it wrong. "Maybe I saw it wrong. She should really want to talk about Pengfei?"

Xie Qingxiao: “…” It’s true that everyone knows his feelings for Lin Xiangyi, but the person involved doesn’t know.

"By the way, has Pengfei told you about the progress between him and Xiaolan recently?" Lin Xiangyi asked again.

Xie Qingxiao: “No.”

"I thought he told you," Lin Xiangyi said, "I should have asked Xiaolan just now."

“He probably hasn’t pursued Shen Xiaolan yet,” Xie Qingxiao said.

He knew Zhang Pengfei. His current conditions were too poor, and he would definitely not take the initiative to pursue Shen Xiaolan.

Lin Xiangyi thought about it and agreed, otherwise, Shen Xiaolan would have told her.

Xie Qingxiao was about to start the car and said nonchalantly, "If you have time to care about other people's affairs, you might as well spend more time on me."

"Spend my thoughts on you?" Lin Xiangyi was a little surprised when she heard it: "What's wrong with you? Do I need to spend my thoughts on you?"

"Then I am your man. Isn't it normal for you to focus on me?" Xie Qingxiao asked back.

Lin Xiangyi: "...Okay, then let me ask you, are you happy now?"

She just asked casually, and didn't think Xie Qingxiao was unhappy, but she didn't expect Xie Qingxiao to reply: "Unhappy."

"You're not happy?" Lin Xiangyi was surprised and puzzled: "Why are you unhappy?"

"Because of you," Xie Qingxiao stepped on the pedal of the bicycle, and the bicycle slid out with a push.

Because of her?

Lin Xiangyi thought about why Xie Qingxiao could be unhappy about him.

The next second she reacted and asked, "Are you unhappy because of my morning sickness? Didn't I tell you? This is normal. Uncle Shen also prescribed me some medicine, and the symptoms will be alleviated."

Xie Qingxiao: “…” He really laughed.

"Why don't you say anything?" Lin Xiangyi poked Xie Qingxiao on the back when she didn't hear him speak.

Xie Qingxiao's back was a little sensitive, and he straightened his back subconsciously. Seeing this, Lin Xiangyi started to play with it, poking him again and again.

"Stop playing," Xie Qingxiao laughed.

Lin Xiangyi leaned over and saw him smiling, then she let go of his hand smugly. It wasn't particularly difficult to coax a man.

Xie Qingxiao is very easy to coax.

"Huh?" Lin Xiangyi noticed that Xie Qingxiao was not riding the road back to Longjing Village, and asked curiously: "Aren't we going home now?"

"Let's go to the Lin family," Xie Qingxiao said.

When Lin Xiangyi heard this, she put away the smile on her face and said calmly: "Xie Qingxiao, I don't want to go to the Lin family, let's go back?"

She used the word "go" very cleverly. Before, she always said she was going back to the Lin family.

Xie Qingxiao knew why she said that, but he still tilted his head and asked knowingly: "Why don't you want to go back? We haven't been back for a long time."

Lin Xiangyi thought about it and realized that as long as she didn't go back to the Lin family, Xie Qingxiao would know sooner or later that she had severed her relationship with Lin Shan, so she simply told him, "I have severed my relationship with Lin Shan."

Xie Qingxiao raised the corners of his lips. She answered him when he asked her, so it seemed that she didn't mean to hide it from him.

He then asked: "Why did you break off the relationship?"

Lin Xiangyi didn't want to show too many scars to others, so she said, "I don't want to talk about this, so don't ask. You just need to know that I have severed my relationship with Lin Shan."

"..." Xie Qingxiao was confused: "We are husband and wife, why can't you tell me?"

"Husbands and wives also need appropriate independent space," Lin Xiangyi grabbed the clothes on Xie Qingxiao's waist, looked up at the back of his head and the side of his face, and expressed her opinion:

"Each of us is an independent individual. We all have our own growth trajectories and secrets that we don't want to reveal. As long as it doesn't involve issues of principle, you don't have to ask me if I don't want to tell you. If I ask you something you don't want to tell me, you can just tell me that you don't want to tell me, and I will respect that."

She felt that her behavior was very considerate. After all, which man doesn't want his wife to not be too controlling after marriage? Most people want a little privacy.

"..." Xie Qingxiao felt a little upset, but he couldn't say anything to refute.

Lin Xiangyi said that couples need independent space, and he agreed.

But he loved her and wanted to be her closest half, with no secrets from each other and face the challenges of life together.

This is somewhat contrary to what Lin Xiangyi hoped.

However, Xie Qingxiao was silent for a moment, and ultimately did not refute her, but just nodded.

His voice was a little low and hoarse, and you could tell that he was not in a very good mood at the moment.

Lin Xiangyi naturally heard it as well.

She wanted to comfort him, but then she changed her mind. This time she told Xie Qingxiao why she broke off relations with Lin Shan, but what about next time?

When it comes to how couples get along, she does advocate that each couple should have their own independent space, so that their lives can be more harmonious.

So Lin Xiangyi thought about it and left it to Xie Qingxiao to digest on his own.

Xie Qingxiao didn't really want to take her back to the Lin family. It’s just that he hadn’t visited Er Laizi for a few days, and wanted to find him to ask about Chen Fengmei’s recent situation, and by the way tell Lin Xiangyi that he had asked someone to investigate Chen Fengmei’s matter.

After hearing what she said, he did not go in the direction of the Lin family anymore, but turned in another direction and went back to the Xie family.

When they got home, Xie's father and mother had already braised half of the food. When they saw them coming back, Xie's mother and Aunt Xie ran out and asked, "Ah Xiao, did you take Xiangyi for a checkup? What did the doctor say?"

"It's a normal reaction. I prescribed some medicine for you," Xie Qingxiao said calmly.

"That's good, that's good." Mother Xie breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Lin Xiangyi and said, "Xiangyi, are you tired? Are you feeling unwell?"

"No, mother, I've recovered a long time ago," Lin Xiangyi replied to Xie's mother with a smile, but her eyes were looking at Xie Qingxiao.

After the man answered Xie's mother, he ignored the people who gathered around him, pushed his bicycle into the yard, put down the kickstand, took the Chinese medicine prescribed by Shen's father, and went to the kitchen.

The handsome profile with sharp angles appears very silent.
