Chapter 139 Yan Yiqi x Xie Yue (3)
but.
The decency that I still remember after three years has cut a tiny gap in the airtight thorns, allowing some air to leak out, and my emotions can't help but leak out.
Xie Yue looked at his profile, using her eyes to slowly depict half of his eyebrows and eyes, the curve of her mouth was light: "It's not a compromise, your friends are all very good."
Everyone else could see that Yan Yiqi had an inadequate reason for leaving, and she wasn't the only one who read his expressions.
After that day, she settled down in the capital.
Yan Yiqi is very busy at work. He has a lot of things to do at Huiqi Bank and he also has to take care of the studio. Xie Yue basically can't see him during the day and he comes back very late at night.
If he couldn't come back, he would send her a message. Whenever he had free time, he would accompany her for a walk in the capital.
Zhou Zhou would also send her messages, invite her for afternoon tea, and invite her to his studio. In the blink of an eye, she had been in Beijing for two months.
On this day, Yan Yiqi had a rare moment of free time and came back before dinner.
As soon as he opened the door, he heard a man's voice coming from the bedroom.
His arrogance was high, and his vicissitudes of life voice was filled with anger: "Xie Yue, you should stay in the capital with peace of mind. Accompanying Yi Qi is your greatest career!"
When Yan Yiqi heard his name, he stopped and did not move.
It is not polite to eavesdrop on other people's phone calls, but Xie Yue turned on the speaker, and all the voices were poured into his ears, and he couldn't avoid it.
He untied his tie and heard Xie Yue's trembling voice: "I'm not neglecting to accompany him...Grandfather, I just want to find a job."
"What kind of job are you looking for?"
The voice on the other end rose again. "Did they really let you study so you could find a job? Haven't the Xie family spent all these years educating you in vain? A woman's job at home is to take care of her husband and children. Do you really think men like you to go out and show off?"
"I……"
"What do you mean? It's a blessing for you to marry into the Yan family. Don't be so ungrateful and ruin your good life!"
"grandfather……"
"Okay, let's not talk about finding a job anymore. This is non-negotiable!"
The other party hung up the phone.
The room became quiet again, and soon, there was a small sound again, it was Xie Yue's sobbing.
Yan Yiqi walked to the door of her room and saw her squatting in the corner with her back to him.
Even when crying, she followed the rules and sobbed softly. She sobbed quietly in a corner, her shoulders shaking from time to time, and even if she cried softly, she couldn't hear it clearly.
After an unknown amount of time, she stopped crying.
Xie Yue wiped away her tears, dragged her numb legs to her feet, and turned around to see Yan Yiqi at the door.
"Yan..." Her voice was hoarse and her throat was blocked.
In a panic, she forced a smile and asked, "You're back?"
The daughter of the Xie family came from a scholarly family. She was well-educated and well-mannered, and she didn't want him to see her misconduct.
No matter how much he saw or heard, she looked at him, not trying to avoid him, just smiling.
Yan Yiqi stood straight with gentle eyes, and smiled at her.
His eyes always looked straight at people, impartially, and infused them with pure and stable strength.
There was no comfort, no long, redundant words. He stood in front of the door, his voice so gentle that it seemed to soothe the sorrow in her heart: "Do you want to work?"
Xie Yue's heart sank silently.
She has been confused.
Having been defined as a lady from a wealthy family since childhood, she had no objections to the Xie family's educational philosophy. As a member of the Xie family, she had the right to marry when she was old enough, and she didn't refuse.
It’s just that in the dead of night, she would wonder, “Is this what I want?”
After so many years of education, she is not really an ignorant person who has lived in seclusion for a long time. She knows that it is not easy to get close to a Singaporean aristocrat like the Yan family, and the Xie family will not be her backing and confidence.
She can only rely on Yan Yiqi.
So, she didn't answer whether she wanted to or not, but just quietly asked him: "Can I rely on you with confidence?"
"You can trust me."
Their marriage was purely a union without any feelings. Talking about reliance on each other was too hypocritical to say.
From a distance, Yan Yiqi looked at her gravely, "You are my fiancée, I will respect you."
Xie Yue had to admit that she liked this kind of straightforwardness.
There was no beating around the bush, his words were as clear and bright as his eyes.
That night, they didn't continue the conversation. Similarly, Xie Yue didn't refute her grandfather's words. She just lowered her head and agreed.
Half a month later, the Yan family moved to the capital.
The old man of the Yan family wanted to return to his roots in this life, and finally his wish came true. He held a grand banquet in the capital and many people received invitations.
The Xie family is the relative of the Yan family, so naturally they have to come.
Yan Yiqi received the Xie family and chatted with his grandfather. Xie Yue followed closely behind them, smiling from ear to ear as he watched his grandfather.
Yan Yiqi accompanied him personally, which was a sign of honor for the Xie family in the eyes of his grandfather.
Grandfather was unusually kind: "How is your grandfather these days? Has he had no relapse?"
"Thank you for your concern. Grandpa is in good health and is resting upstairs now." Yan Yiqi led his grandfather upstairs.
When we arrived at the room, Mr. Yan was taking medicine, and the live-in caregiver was beside him, carefully tucking in the quilt for him.
After some warm greetings, the grandfather's gaze shifted to Xie Yue, who was standing at the edge, with a harsh tone that could not be ignored: "You are Yi Qi's fiancée, and now you live in the capital. You must come visit Old Master Yan more often, understand?"
Xie Yue lowered his eyes and replied, "Yes, Grandfather."
"It's okay." Old Master Yan said happily and handed the bowl of medicine in his hand to the nurse.
He waved to Xie Yue, "Come."
Xie Yue was signaled by Old Master Yan to sit down beside the bed.
"You've been in the capital for a while. Are you used to the food? Has Yi Qi taken you out for a walk?"
"The food in Yangcheng is similar to that in Beijing, so there's nothing to get used to. Yi Qi and I usually go out for a walk when we have free time." This is the truth.
"That's good."
Mr. Yan thought of something and asked her, "Have you found a job after graduation? Or do you have any good ideas for starting your own business?"
Xie Yue glanced at her grandfather, who was still smiling, but the smile didn't reach his eyes when he looked at her.
It was quite a warning, asking her to speak properly.
She retracted her gaze and replied softly, "I haven't thought about it yet."
"Don't worry. You young people have your own ideas. It's not a bad thing to plan more." Old Master Yan said, "If you don't understand anything at work or need help, just tell Yi Qi."
Then he looked at Yan Yiqi, "I remember that you and Yue Da's daughter opened a studio together, right?"
Yan Yiqi said yes.
Old Master Yan asked Xie Yue, "Have you seen Yiqi's friends?"
Seeing her nod, he continued, "If you have nothing to do, talk more with the Zhou family kid. She used to be Yi Qi's schoolmate, and after graduation she returned to China to start a business. She's a very thoughtful person."
Xie Yue agreed.
They turned to talk about other things, and soon other people came to visit the old man, so they left.
Xie Yue was called aside by his grandfather.
"Have you met the daughter of Yueda Group?"
"Yes."
"Yueda Group is one of the leading companies in Beijing. Mr. Yan mentioned it, so you should interact with her more often. And her husband, whether it's C.Y Investment under his name or his family's Shengyi Group, they are not comparable to our Xie family."
This is to encourage her to curry favor with the Zhou and Cheng families more often.
Xie Yue heard something else in these words, but remained expressionless: "Grandfather, I'm socializing so often. Would the Yan family dislike me showing up in public?"
Grandfather, disgusted by her ignorance, put it more bluntly: "Old Master Yan speaks highly of Yueda's daughter. He clearly admires independent and opinionated people. As his granddaughter-in-law, you must act like one, understand?"
This is a relaxation of work.
Xie Yue was still gentle and obedient: "I understand, Grandfather."
Grandfather was very pleased with her obedience.
Xie Yue's heart was pounding, and something was flowing repeatedly in his chest.
Despite trying hard to remain calm, he couldn't help but open the hole when he saw Yan Yiqi's figure from afar, and his expression showed his emotions.
She was surprised and excited, and trotted towards him until she stood beside him.
Yan Yiqi was talking to someone when he felt a light breeze falling. The faint fragrance of flowers and fruits lingered around his nose, which was even more fragrant than the red wine in the glass.
His arm felt heavy and he lowered his head. Xie Yue came over from somewhere with a flushed face.
The partner was stunned when he saw Xie Yue: "Who is this?"
Yan Yiqi didn't shy away from the topic and introduced her calmly, "My fiancée is Xie Yue. Xie Yue, this is Mr. Gao."
Xie Yue was in a good mood, smiling broadly and shaking hands with others: "Hello, Mr. Gao, I'm Xie Yue."
After greeting him, she looked at Yan Yiqi intently.
Seeing this, the partner left tactfully.
Yan Yiqi probably guessed the source of her happiness, but he still pretended not to know and did not spoil her desire to talk. "What's wrong?"
"Thank you. Really, thank you." Xie Yue put her hands on his arms, as reserved as ever, and she couldn't say much more.
Yan Yiqi smiled.
To him it was a small matter, not worthy of credit.
His eyes caught sight of the strands of hair that fell on her cheeks, and he tucked them behind her ears, saying softly, "Your hair is all messed up."
The tip of his finger touched her cheek and drooped along her earlobe.
Xie Yue knew it was a casual matter, free of any distractions. Yan Yiqi's upbringing had always been like this, and he would always treat her, his fiancée, with respect in public.
But she couldn't help but tighten her fingers, her body tensed with his movements, and everything around her slowly faded away, leaving only endless white noise.
For a moment, she couldn't tell whether the noise came from the surrounding environment or from her pounding heart.
