Chapter 51: The 51st Day of Reservedness I am no longer young, I can still be reserved...

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole room was in an uproar.

Everyone knows that Mr. Bai is an unconventional person. He says what he thinks on a daily basis and never beats around the bush.

But isn't this a bit too direct?

Everyone's eyes were immediately fixed on Pei Yunhe.

Everyone knows that his marriage with Shan Yin was a family-arranged marriage. It was said that it took less than ten days or half a month from the time the marriage was decided to the time the two of them got their marriage certificate.

Moreover, at the wedding, the bride seemed to have even called Pei Yunhe's name wrong.

Two people like this, a couple like this, are most likely to be in name only and have no feelings for each other.

In addition, Shan Yin looks cold and polite, while Pei Yunhe also appears gentle and elegant.

Who would have thought that Mr. Bai could actually find out this problem by taking the pulse.

Are they still the rumored married couple who are only a good match on the surface?

Everyone present, including Shan Yin, was either shocked or stunned after hearing this.

Only Pei Yunhe remained calm.

He strolled leisurely behind Shan Yin, casually placed his hands on the crescent-shaped armrests of the rosewood armchair, and answered with his eyes lowered.

"Mr. Bai, you've watched me grow up, so you know how old I am."

He shook his head and looked rather regretful.

"You're not young anymore. It's no use being reserved anymore."

"cough!"

The person sitting on the armchair immediately blushed. Shan Yin never expected Pei Yunhe to answer like this, and he was choked and started coughing.

The itchiness in her throat became increasingly unbearable.

It’s because these past few nights, he forced me to call his name over and over again every night.

Pei Yunhe hurriedly leaned over to pat her back to calm her down. Shan Yin turned around and glared at him, but he didn't care and still had a smile on his face.

Even Bai Gong couldn't bear to see him like this.

"With your physique, you won't be useless even after ten years!"

Pei Yunhe took a moment to look up at Mr. Bai, "Then I'll trouble you to take care of my wife's health, otherwise I can't do it alone."

Bai Gong: "You..."

Shan Yin wanted to cover Pei Yunhe's mouth.

But even so, Pei Yunhe had no qualms about showing his love for Shan Yin in front of outsiders.

After a while, people could be heard whispering around. Even the young master behind Mr. Bai covered his mouth and went to talk to the little girl.

I vaguely heard words like "just a couple in name only", "just acting", and "I don't believe it".

Pei Yunhe immediately frowned and glared at the young master again.

Shan Yin quickly pulled him back and said, "Don't stare at me!"

There was a mixture of anger and resentment in her words, as if she was embarrassed to act like a spoiled brat.

Pei Yunhe didn't care about those little monkeys at all. He just hugged Shan Yin and helped her calm down.

As a result, the discussion has increased with words like "I don't think it's acting", "The relationship is really good", "It's very harmonious"...

Pei Yunhe was finally satisfied.

Mr. Bai on the other side couldn't bear it any longer and shook his head.

He really didn't expect that Pei Yunhe, who he had watched grow up and had no interest in girls at all, would become like this.

He quickly asked someone to bring him a pen and paper and wrote a prescription, then dusted off his hands and said, "Go away, don't be so annoying in front of me."

Dan Yin doesn't have any serious health problems, he's just a little weak and weak, and he will get better slowly after some conditioning.

This was a trivial matter for Mr. Bai. He didn't want to see Pei Yunhe embarrass himself here again, and he also had something to say to Xi Minxia and the others.

So he sent Pei Yunhe and the younger generations away, but before they left, Mr. Bai shouted again.

"You two have such sore throats. Come back and drink some more throat-soothing tea from me!"

Pei Yunhe smiled and nodded repeatedly, and Shan Yin blushed and quickly pulled him away.

After leaving the hall and avoiding the gossip of that group of people, Shan Yin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She was not as shameless as Pei Yunhe, so she went out of the moon-shaped door again and went to another path.

There are many flowers and plants planted here. The tortoiseshell bamboo grows very fast in June. At the bottom, there are crabapples and camellias. The paths are winding and deep, and the greenery blocks a lot of vision.

Shan Yin then stopped, turned around and glared at Pei Yunhe with a reproachful look.

"How could you do this!"

It was really rare for Pei Yunhe to vent his anger on Shan Yin. This sentence sounded like a spoiled child, making him feel soft inside and his face looked lazy.

He knew what Shan Yin was talking about and teased her deliberately: "What's wrong with me?"

"How can you say that kind of thing to someone's face..." Shan Yin was annoyed. Looking at Pei Yunhe's gentle and handsome face, he really wanted to pinch him to see how thick-skinned he was.

Pei Yunhe saw what Shan Yin meant and took her hand to her face. "When you see a doctor, you must explain the problem clearly. Tell him everything you know. It would be bad if you didn't say anything."

"That's not possible." Shan Yin was angry and wanted to take his hand back.

But he didn't let go. He grabbed her two onion-like fingers and pinched them on his face.

I don't know if he was letting her vent her anger or if he was just trying to be happy.

"If you want to be angry, you can hit me or scold me. Don't hold it in and don't be embarrassed."

Pei Yunhe stared at Shan Yin and suddenly became serious again.

"Today, it's not just the Bai family who's watching us. Plus, there are so many people and so many gossips. If I neglect you even a little, I don't know how pitiful you'll be when all those ladies and wives spread the word tomorrow."

The situation of aristocratic families is already complicated. Shan Yin came from Yunsu alone, so it is inevitable that he will be more easily criticized.

Suddenly a gust of wind blew in the garden, and the bamboo leaves rustled, just like those messy sounds.

Pei Yunhe held Shan Yin's hand, leaned down a little, and his eyes were level with hers.

"I told you, Shan Yin, I'm going to support you. It doesn't matter if I'm a bit mixed up, but I want them to know that you're in my heart."

The wind suddenly stopped, and dappled sunlight shone through the leaves, falling on Pei Yunhe's nose and eyebrows, making his eyes look very bright.

She smelled the fragrance of soil and flowers after the rain, but none of it could compare to the peace of mind brought by the sandalwood in front of her.

Shan Yin was stunned and suddenly remembered the painting of pine and crane that Pei Yunhe gave to Bai Gong.

"So, you also picked out my painting specifically to give to Mr. Bai, to please him?"

In order to make Mr. Bai look at her with a higher regard, it can also be regarded as support.

Pei Yunhe curled his lips, stroked Shan Yin's forehead with his thumb, and picked off a bamboo leaf that had fallen on her temples.

"We are smart when we hum."

Shan Yin was a little embarrassed by him and turned her head away, "How can you call me like that? You make me sound like a child."

Pei Yunhe raised his eyebrows, "When we were moaning like that last night, weren't we feeling quite comfortable?"

"you!"

Shan Yin suddenly raised his eyes and glared at him.

But there's no point in glaring at him, he's too shameless.

Shan Yin's ears turned red with annoyance. Thinking of his words, he looked around, snorted, and simply raised his foot to kick him lightly on the calf.

The force of this kick was so great that it made Pei Yunhe's eyes wide open.

He couldn't ask for a more lively and lovely Shan Yin.

So he shouted, "It's comfortable, come again."

Shan Yin couldn't believe it.

Since she really couldn't do anything about him, she decided to just turn a blind eye and leave.

"Hey, Shan Yin!"

Pei Yunhe shouted and followed him.

The road ahead is difficult to walk on, and she is still running in high heels. Why is she running?

Be careful not to fall.

He had long legs and after two steps he grabbed Shan Yin, but Shan Yin did not break free from him.

Pei Yunhe followed Shan Yin's gaze and looked forward. Among the heavy green shadows, he saw two figures, one tall and one short, not far away. They were circling a small pond, talking and feeding the koi in the pond.

The sound of the wind gradually died down, and the sound of conversation over there could be heard faintly.

Shan Yin turned around and pulled Pei Yunhe to leave, but before he could move, he heard a voice from the other end.

"Could it be that Brother Yunhe has confessed something? Look at him today, is he even slightly similar to before?"

They were talking about Pei Yunhe.

Shan Yin raised his eyelids and looked at Pei Yunhe. Pei Yunhe was too lazy to hide and avoid things, and now that others were talking about him, he had to listen to everything.

He led Shan Yin by the hand, without hiding, and passed over a huge red tree, startling the sparrows pecking at food in the mud, which flapped their wings and jumped away, but did not alarm the two people over there.

As he got closer, Shan Yin realized that it was the young master and girl standing behind Mr. Bai in the middle hall.

"That's Mr. Bai's grandson, Zhao Xingqi. The one next to him is from the Lu family in North City. I think her name is... Lu Pan'er. She's not in good health. She's been following Mr. Bai, learning and recuperating for many years."

Pei Yunhe introduced in a low voice.

“No wonder.”

Zhao Xingqi had a handsome face and didn't look like a dandy, but he still had the air of a lazy and frivolous young master.

As for Lu Pan'er, one can tell at first glance that she is delicate and well-behaved. Her words and actions are well-behaved, and she occasionally shows a bit of cleverness and cuteness.

No wonder everyone was waiting for Mr. Bai to speak, and when he didn't say anything, the two of them dared to whisper in Mr. Bai's ear behind his back.

Now they were chatting about Pei Yunhe in the garden in broad daylight. Shan Yin smiled and looked at Pei Yunhe, and sure enough, he saw that his eyes were half closed.

"No, I still don't believe Brother Yunhe would be like this. He's definitely not the type to be afraid of his wife. The Su or Shan family they're marrying into aren't some big, wealthy family, are they? Why would he be like this?"

Zhao Xingqi paced by the pond, thinking hard but unable to find the answer.

In the end, he simply sprinkled the fish food in his hand onto the water surface, causing ripples to form. Several round, orange-yellow koi fishes emerged from the water, wagging their tails and pecking at the food in big mouthfuls.

"Don't say that. Brother Yunhe isn't the type to flatter the powerful and bully the weak. He treats his wife very well, and maybe they really have a good relationship."

"How is that possible! Over the years, have you ever seen Brother Yunhe being attentive to any young lady from an aristocratic family? How could he be like this in just a month or two?"

Zhao Xingqi didn't agree with what Lu Pan'er said and walked quickly to Lu Pan'er.

Lu Pan'er was gentle in nature. She sat on the low stone embankment by the pond, her head down, teasing the koi, not even looking at Zhao Xingqi.

"Zhao Xingqi, don't say it's impossible. I see that you just still remember being scolded by Brother Yunhe when you were a child, so you have this impression that Brother Yunhe is difficult to get close to."

Lu Pan'er raised her eyelids and glanced at Zhao Xingqi, her eyes slightly curved with a hint of a smile.

Hearing this, Shan Yin turned around and looked at Pei Yunhe. She didn't expect that Pei Yunhe would scold people. Isn't this man gentle and polite outside?

Pei Yunhe noticed Shan Yin's gaze, lowered his eyes, and touched Shan Yin's forehead with his.

He whispered, "Zhao Xingqi is a little monkey. I lived here with Mr. Bai when I was a kid. He was fearless, but I got so annoyed with him that I gave him a lesson."

I remember that when he was young, Pei Yunhe would scold the kids younger than him with a stern face, and he scared them so much that they remembered it for so many years.

Shan Yin couldn't help but find it amusing, and his smile deepened as he pursed his lips.

Pei Yunhe glanced at her and touched the corner of her raised mouth with his hand, "Is it so funny?"

Looking back, I can see if she is still smiling.

But before Shan Yin could reply, Zhao Xingqi suddenly started yelling.

"I'm telling you! You're just asking for trouble! Could you please stop talking about that?"

He took two steps away, put his hands on his hips, and angrily said to Lu Pan'er: "He's not easy to get close to!"

"What's so difficult about Brother Yunhe being difficult to get close to? He is gentle and reasonable. You are the only one among so many people who says that he is difficult to get close to." Lu Pan'er looked up at him.

This only made Zhao Xingqi even more angry. He put his hands on his waist instead, forgetting for a moment that they were still in the garden, and shouted, "Lu Xiaopan! I think you're still secretly in love with Brother Yunhe! That's why you always speak well of him!"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Lu Paner was so angry at the blunt talk that she picked up a piece of gravel beside her and threw it at Zhao Xingqi.

"That's right! You've had a crush on Brother Yunhe since you were little! I'm not wrong!"

Zhao Xingqi dodged and shouted.

"You still say that! That was all when we were little!"

"What happened in childhood isn't true?"

"Zhao Xingqi!"

Zhao Xingqi was still unmoved. "If you ask me, you might as well confess your feelings to Brother Yunhe sooner rather than later. Maybe he'll agree to it if he sees that you're not bad looking. It's better than getting married to a stranger with no feelings for you now!"

"Hey, I've always said that arranged marriages are bad. Lu Xiaopan, you missed the boat!"

Seeing that Zhao Xingqi was becoming more and more outspoken, Lu Paner got so angry that she stood up and wanted to chase him away.

Shan Yin didn't want the two of them to start arguing and get into a fight. She glanced at Pei Yunhe and quickly patted him.

Pei Yunhe was still watching the fun, but when he saw Shan Yin's anxious expression, he kept coaxing her, "Okay, okay."

Then he took a few steps forward and coughed loudly.

Lu Pan'er was very observant and immediately realized that someone was coming. After careful listening, she found that the voice sounded very much like Pei Yunhe's.

Just now, someone was talking about him behind his back. This was not a good behavior. Lu Paner was panicked and called Zhao Xingqi in a low voice: "It seems to be Brother Yunhe!"

Zhao Xingqi was not afraid of anyone except Pei Yunhe. He immediately felt a chill on the back of his neck and ran away.

"What? I, I'm not afraid of him!"

“Hey!”

Lu Pan'er was speechless, but it was not appropriate for her to stay any longer, so she followed Zhao Xingqi and ran away.

After the two people's shadows disappeared, Pei Yunhe took Shan Yin and came out from behind the Zhuangyuanhong tree.

The layer of fish food floating in the pond had long been eaten up by the koi. Their huge tails swung again and again, and they all sank to the bottom of the pond and swam leisurely.

The water surface returned to calm and the garden became quiet.

"This Zhao Xingqi is really a naughty boy, disrespecting his elders."

Pei Yunhe protected Shan Yin and prevented her from getting too close to the pond. The two of them walked side by side along the path beside the pond.

He wanted to say, arranged marriages are unacceptable.

If it weren't for this arranged marriage, he wouldn't have been able to marry Shan Yin.

Given their personalities, there is a high probability that they will never meet again in this lifetime.

But Shan Yin was not thinking about this.

She was still thinking about what Zhao Xingqi and Lu Pan'er had said before. Seeing Pei Yunhe scolding her again, she covered her mouth and smiled, and even joked, "You really are very popular."

"What?"

Pei Yunhe didn't react for a moment, and when he saw Shan Yin's sweet smile, his thoughts wandered for a moment.

When he understood, although he was being praised, he did not feel happy at all, but became flustered instead.

"Don't listen to what Zhao Xingqi says. There's no such thing as being unpopular or unpopular!"

Shan Yin's smile widened, "It's not a bad thing to be popular."

Pei Yunhe frowned and immediately made a note of Zhao Xingqi in his mind.

"I……"

However, before he could finish his words, Pei Yunhe suddenly felt something was wrong.

A huge red flower stretched across Shan Yin's temples. Her curved eyebrows covered her lips with a faint smile. The red flowers and green leaves intertwined, making her look unusually charming.

This is beautiful, but the more Pei Yunhe looks at it, the more aggrieved he feels.

"What's wrong?" Shan Yin hadn't figured out the reason yet, so she turned her head and stared at him with her fox eyes and asked.

Pei Yunhe collapsed and immediately curled his lips: "Shan Yin, when you hear people say they miss me, aren't you worried at all?"

So that's it.

It's an old topic. If you don't tell him that you have him in your heart for one day, he will get anxious.

The corners of the fox's eyes suddenly curved even more, and his eyes became rounder and brighter, like pearls on the leaves next to him.

When Pei Yunhe saw her smile, he thought she was really not worried at all.

But he didn't expect to hear Shan Yinrou's soft words soon after. After a few times, he already knew how to strike the right balance.

She said: "Worried. Very worried."
