Chapter 141 Yan Yiqi x Xie Yue (5)
He added, "For things like this, you don't need to remind me to cut my losses in time. You know as long as you don't say anything, I won't move forward and won't cause you any trouble."
She knew that their marriage was a union.
Similarly, she would not and dared not break this window paper.
She knew Yan Yiqi didn't like her. If she insisted on doing so and ended up in trouble, her grandfather would not allow her to lose such a good marriage with the Yan family.
Yan Yiqi was very surprised. He didn't expect her to be so straightforward for the first time and she seemed to have a spirit of not wanting to admit defeat.
The first time he saw it.
During the time they lived together under the same roof, she had always been good-tempered. No matter what he said, she never refused and always said yes.
She is well-behaved and sensible, but also deliberately flattering. She is not picky about things, but also gives in everywhere.
He is busy every day and is often not at home, so it is Mrs. Liu who spends the most time with Xie Yue.
Mrs. Liu doesn't gossip, talk too much, or talk nonsense, but she occasionally mentions Xie Yue in front of him.
When asked what Xie Yue did at home every day, he would either read, arrange flowers, or paint. Mrs. Liu knew all of this without him having to tell her.
Apart from that, she vaguely mentioned that the old man of the Xie family called again, and every time the call ended, Miss Xie would stay alone on the balcony for a long time.
Yan Yiqi knew that these were the dogmas set by the Xie family for her, which were difficult to cross and difficult to break free from.
He sees through it but doesn't say it out loud.
Not saying anything doesn’t mean turning a blind eye.
Even if there is no love, he should still shoulder the responsibilities of a husband, protect her and give her a sense of security.
Selfishly, I also think that maybe she will just be like this, regardless of her roundness or flatness.
This wasn't contempt, it was simply a way of adapting to the status quo. He didn't feel bad either; everyone had their own way of living, and some were just naturally sensitive and timid.
Taking care of Xie Yue's affairs is all out of responsibility.
Yan Yiqi claims that he is not a gentleman.
He doesn't play around with emotions when it comes to relationships; he only looks for the right one, which can be considered a form of screening. He values long-term interests over love.
It was a rare impulse for him to like Zhou Zhou.
Even though he knew it was impossible for them, he still wanted to walk for a while, and his reason remained clear and prevented him from going deeper and deeper.
Many times he can also be indifferent.
Ignore the feelings of others and ignore your own feelings.
At this moment, Xie Yue told him that this was her own business, and he suddenly realized it.
He usually looks humble and amiable, but it turns out he can be sharp-tongued, refuse, and refute others.
Yan Yiqi smiled slightly: "I won't say it again."
This matter has come to an end.
The wedding took place as planned, and was unprecedentedly grand, lively and spectacular.
They moved out of the apartment and moved into Champs-Elysées Bay.
This villa was purchased two years ago with Zhou Zhou and others. It has been vacant all the time, and now we have become neighbors.
Naturally, they changed from two beds to one bed, but there was a clear distinction in the middle and no one crossed the line.
Of course, she was used to going to bed early, so when she went to bed it was not yet Yan Yiqi's sleep schedule. During this time, he would either be working out in the gym or working in his study.
Only when I wake up, I can see him sleeping beside me, his sleeping face still as gentle and soft as jade.
Xie Yue also gradually adapted to the work.
After work that day, Xie Yue received a call from Yan Yiqi, asking her to come to Zhou Zhou's house for dinner in the evening and he would be there later.
When we arrived at Zhou Zhou's house, my aunt said that the two were playing games upstairs.
Mrs. Huang wanted to take her upstairs, but Xie Yue refused. The two families often visited each other, and Xie Yue was familiar with the place and didn't want to trouble others.
As I walked upstairs and around the corner, I heard Zhou Zhou's voice, a mixture of anger and resentment: "...Are you sick? You're asking me to take off my clothes even though I'm eight months pregnant?"
"I accept the loss." Xie Yue heard Cheng Yu's cynical laughter. "You also know that you are eight months pregnant?"
Then, the latter half of the voice was suppressed by a short sob and became unclear. "Help me calculate, how long will it take before I can say hello to you?"
Xie Yue didn't understand at first, but when she walked closer, she found that the door of the room was not closed. Through the gap that was half a person's body wide, she saw two people lying on the tatami and kissing.
She was petrified on the spot and was stunned for three seconds before she remembered to turn around.
But the extremely smooth floor was against her. She tripped when she turned her head and almost fell to the ground.
The noise disturbed the people in the room.
Xie Yue heard Zhou Zhou's voice: "Yueyue?"
But all she could think about was running away.
Half an hour later, Yan Yiqi also arrived.
After they had dinner together, Yan Yiqi and Cheng Yu went to the study to discuss something.
Singapore's healthcare system enjoys a worldwide reputation. With a keen eye, Cheng Yu, eyeing the healthcare sector's growth prospects, plans to invest in a biotech research and development company.
Yan Yiqi knows more about Singapore, so Cheng Yu asked him for reference.
After the study door closed, Yan Yiqi asked him, "What happened before I came here?"
After the meal, he noticed that Xie Yue had lost his usual composure and was now feeling awkward and restless.
Cheng Yu sighed softly.
His narrow eyes swept over, and he slumped onto the sofa, his body crooked and unsteady, forming a sharp contrast with Yan Yiqi who was sitting upright opposite him. "How long have you been married? The training of the little white rabbit hasn't even started yet."
Yan Yiqi understood immediately.
"You really are..." He held his forehead helplessly, unable to speak.
I could only smile and say, "She is timid, don't scare her."
Cheng Yu snorted indifferently, "You're such an old-fashioned person, still sticking to that stereotype that being well-behaved means being timid. Even little rabbits will bite when they get wild."
Yan Yiqi thought he was talking nonsense.
Cheng Yu's debauchery is ingrained in his nature, and every three sentences he makes are about something improper.
When the topic turned to business, Xie Yue accompanied Zhou Zhou for a walk.
At first, it was just small talk, but the topic quickly turned to Yan Yiqi: "You go to bed around nine o'clock every day. Doesn't that match Yiqi's schedule?"
Xie Yue nodded.
"So you guys haven't made any further progress yet?"
Xie Yue was almost clueless about this. She didn't understand what he meant. "What do you mean by further?"
Zhou Zhou seemed to follow suit: "Just, kiss."
Xie Yue thought of the scene in the evening.
The heat rose, but fortunately the night had covered her with a veil, making her expression not look too embarrassed: "...Hmm...Hmm."
"There's no need for us to get married, so, so." She stammered.
"Don't you like Yi Qi?"
A stone dropped gently into the lake caused ripples, which rippled in circles, stirring up the entire water.
Xie Yue probably felt the same way.
Normally she stayed there quietly, but at this moment her presence was so strong that it seemed to jump out, and her whole heart was in turmoil.
She held her breath unconsciously: "How do you know?"
Zhou Zhou smiled: "Your worries are written all over your face."
Xie Yue touched her face and felt it was burning hot.
She remained silent, which was considered as her consent.
Zhou Zhou was not surprised. He did not ask about her inner thoughts. He just said, "You are working during the day, and your nighttime schedules don't match. How can you have time to spend together?"
Perhaps knowing that she was too shy to respond, Zhou Zhou quickly changed the subject.
Xie Yue didn't respond, but he listened.
I was completely unaware of it before, but now I have been awakened by this.
When I got home that evening, it was just after 8:30.
Xie Yue went to take a shower first.
After taking a shower and going downstairs, I looked up and saw a patch of wheat-colored skin.
Yan Yiqi is putting on his shirt.
He must have just showered, his hair still dripping wet. The round collar of his shirt was pulled over his head but not yet pulled down, revealing his muscular chest and back.
Xie Yue shyly looked away and held on to the handrail of the stairs without moving.
Yan Yiqi put on his clothes and only then did he see her out of the corner of his eye.
"Are you done washing?" Yan Yiqi smiled at her, picked up the towel beside him and wiped his hair.
"Um."
Yan Yiqi knew her schedule and said, "You go to sleep first. I'll be here for a while."
“…I want to watch a movie.”
The answer was unusual. Yan Yiqi was stunned for a moment before he continued, "Now?"
Xie Yue nodded.
If there is nothing special, their conversations are always repetitive and concise.
It was the first time in the past six months that they turned off the lights and sat side by side on the sofa to watch a movie.
It's a romance film.
At the middle of the movie, the hero and heroine kissed passionately after expressing their love to each other, and Yan Yiqi felt the burning gaze cast at him.
Glancing sideways, Xie Yue had stopped looking at the projection screen and was staring at him intently.
"What's wrong?" He smiled at her in the night, his voice gentle.
"Why don't you touch me?"
Xie Yue's voice was very low, drowned out by the sounds of kissing and swallowing. Yan Yiqi tilted his body slightly and moved closer to her: "Hmm?"
Xie Yue repeated: "Why don't you touch me?"
Yan Yiqi raised his eyebrows and stared at her face as if to confirm what she meant by asking this question.
The screen light occasionally illuminated the person's face. He noticed her seriousness and was about to correct his attitude when he heard Xie Yue say, "Are you... not able to do it?"
Saying this to a man is undoubtedly a provocation.
Xie Yue's words had a different flavor of searching for answers. Yan Yiqi laughed, "What do you mean?"
"Although we are getting married by arrangement, we still need to have children."
Xie Yue said, "On the night of Cheng Yu's discharge celebration, Chen Yiyang jokingly called him father-in-law. He said that if Chen Yiyang wanted a child, where could he go to get one? Chen Yiyang was embarrassed and asked you to speak, and you said that you were the same as Chen Yiyang.
Chen Yiyang...he's single, so naturally he can't want her, but you, we..."
When Yan Yiqi mentioned this, he vaguely recalled the look Xie Yue had given him when she turned her head. Then, he came to his senses and said, "You always thought I was incapable of doing this?"
Xie Yue stopped talking.
He flicked her forehead in amusement and said, "What are you thinking about? That kind of topic is bound to involve you. I just didn't respond because I was afraid you would feel confused and uncomfortable."
"What took you so long to ask?"
Xie Yue: “…”
His head hung down, motionless.
Yan Yiqi, however, lifted her chin and asked her to look at him straight in the face. "You've just started your career, and I guess you might not be planning on having children so soon. If you want me to fulfill our marital obligations, I won't refuse."
"No..." The chin on the fingertips exerted force, pressing down, and finally the forehead hit his chest.
Xie Yue didn't know where to put his hands and feet. He curled up like a turtle and didn't move. His voice became ethereal and turned into air. "...I didn't mean that."
Yan Yiqi laughed softly, the sound muffled and penetrating through his chest and landed on her eardrum, buzzing.
He really didn't know Xie Yue well enough.
He thought she was a blank slate, and she never understood other people's frivolous jokes. Even if she did understand, she would be shy, so he never thought of talking to her about this matter.
But he forgot that just because she didn't understand and was too shy to joke, it didn't mean she couldn't be straightforward, even though her attitude when she asked was very silly.
"Stop laughing." Xie Yue was very annoyed.
The voice was tight, subverting its usual softness, and sounded a bit pretentiously fierce.
Yan Yiqi couldn't help but smile again, and suddenly his chest felt hot, as if something was biting him.
It hurts a little.
What followed was a tingling pleasure that suddenly spread throughout the body, and the laughter stopped abruptly.
Yan Yiqi couldn't hear what was happening in the movie or what was being said. All his senses were focused on one point. He looked down at her in surprise, his hands spread out at his sides, and he forgot what to do for a moment.
But the instigator didn't know where he was jumping around, and continued to do evil, leaving behind wet teeth marks before he died.
Then he lowered his head, rubbed his forehead against the wet spot, and said angrily without any deterrent effect: "Don't laugh anymore."
When rabbits get wild, they will really bite people.
He really knows how to pick places to bite.
