Chapter 113 Do you like Su Yuan?
“Who is this…?”
On the sofa, Su Yuan was stunned for a moment when she saw Xie Yiyi running out of the master bedroom with half-dry hair. She looked at Lu Bingchen with her charming eyes, full of disbelief, as if asking Lu Bingchen for an explanation.
"Xie Yiyi, Xie Peizhou's niece."
Xie Yiyi stood in the distance, watching Lu Bingchen walking towards her from the sofa. The man's calm introduction words reached her ears, and her heart suddenly sank, and the hands hanging at her sides curled up.
Haha, what he introduced was correct.
It is understandable that the two of them pretended to get married and distanced themselves from their relationship with their beloved first love in front of her.
Xie Yiyi thought so, but she didn't expect that after Lu Bingchen walked to her side, he suddenly took her hand and walked towards the sofa where Su Yuan was. His gentle and calm voice sounded again, "She is also my new wife. We just got our marriage certificate not long ago."
Su Yuan's face was full of shock.
Lu Bingchen then introduced Xie Yiyi, "This is my eldest brother's wife, Su Yuan."
Xie Yiyi looked at Lu Bingchen and blinked. Although she didn't understand what he was thinking for a moment, her heart beat faster because of his words, "She is also my new wife."
She was in a good mood, so she continued to act according to Lu Bingchen's ideas.
Xie Yiyi looked at Su Yuan and smiled sweetly, "Oh, it's my sister-in-law. Hello, sister-in-law. Just call me Yiyi."
Su Yuan's pretty face paled a bit, and she looked at Lu Bingchen with a questioning tone, "Are you married?!"
"When? Marriage is such a big thing, why didn't you tell me?!"
After she finished speaking, she realized she had overstepped her bounds. Her eyes flickered as she tried to make amends, "What I meant was, getting married is your top priority after all. How could you have just gotten the marriage certificate without telling your mother-in-law and your eldest brother? If we had known in advance, we could have taken care of things and properly prepared for the wedding..."
Xie Yiyi looked at Su Yuan's somewhat out-of-control expression. Although she didn't know why Su Yuan ended up marrying Lu Bingchen's biological brother when they were obviously so in love back then, she was shocked.
She snuggled in Lu Bingchen's arms and smiled slightly, "Sister-in-law, there's no need to rush. Bingchen and I have already discussed it. As for the wedding, we will hold it together with my bestie."
"Our flash marriage was a bit sudden, and we haven't had time to tell the Lu family yet. ...Why are you in Sanya? Are you here with my eldest brother and mother-in-law? Why don't we find time to have dinner first?"
Hearing Xie Yiyi's "concerned" words, Su Yuan became more and more flustered. Her face turned pale, and she suddenly stood up stiffly with her bag. "I came to Sanya alone. Your eldest brother is busy with work at the end of the year and has no time to accompany me. I was in a bad mood, so I came out for a walk alone."
Su Yuan glanced at Lu Bingchen and said, "You know, I'm not very good at finding my way around. I heard you were in Sanya, so I wanted to go shopping with you to relax. I didn't expect you were on your honeymoon with your new wife, so I'll leave now and not disturb you."
"Su Yuan!"
Lu Bingchen looked at Su Yuan's back as she hurried away, frowned and called out to her.
Su Yuan didn't look back, her voice full of grievance, "It's okay, don't worry about me, I'm leaving first!"
"Bang" Su Yuan closed the door of the villa.
Lu Bingchen frowned a little, but contrary to Xie Yiyi's expectations, he did not chase after him. Instead, he took out his cell phone and called Lu Zhizhang.
While answering the phone, the doorbell rang again.
Lu Bingchen subconsciously looked back, his pupils focused.
Xie Yiyi walked over and opened the door. Outside the door was Wen Niannian, who was dressed like a doll by Wen Ci.
Wen Niannian was wearing a pretty little dress, a colorful straw hat, and a pair of sunglasses. She raised her little face and greeted Xie Yiyi, "Godmother, Mommy asked me to ask, are you and Godfather together? When are you leaving?"
Xie Yiyi turned around and saw Lu Bingchen, who was talking on the phone in front of the sofa, with his brows furrowed even tighter and his face not looking very good. He must be worried about Su Yuan who had just left in a hurry.
Xie Yiyi took Wen Niannian into the house and said with a smile, "Soon, wait for godmother to put on makeup, and then we'll go out."
Half an hour later, Xie Yiyi came out after putting on her makeup, and Lu Bingchen was still sitting on the sofa texting on his phone.
Xie Yiyi asked, "Lu Bingchen, are you okay?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Bingchen immediately put away his phone and stood up. When he saw Xie Yiyi wearing a dark grey miniskirt that hugged her hips, he asked in confusion, "Why did you change your clothes too? Weren't you wearing a white skirt just now?"
Xie Yiyi took Wen Niannian's hand and walked towards the door, "It doesn't match today's makeup."
Lu Bingchen didn't think much about it and shook his head with a smile. When it comes to fashion, international supermodel Xie Yiyi has absolute say.
More than forty minutes later, they arrived at Sanya's largest duty-free city. There were all kinds of brand-name jewelry, bags, and cosmetics. Driven by Xie Yiyi, Wen Ci also started shopping.
Two men followed behind him, silently carrying their bags and swiping their cards.
Xie Yiyi bought ten Hermès bags in one go today, all using Lu Bingchen's card.
While Wen Ci and Xie Peizhou were looking at the gold jewelry, Xie Yiyi pulled Lu Bingchen aside and whispered, "You don't have to swipe my card. I have my own money and can buy it myself."
"How much did you just spend? Tell me the amount when you get home and I'll pay you back."
Lu Bingchen raised an eyebrow. "Give it back to me? Do we have to be so calculating in a relationship like ours?"
Xie Yiyi glanced in Xie Peizhou's direction and lowered her voice even more. "It's a fake marriage, not a real couple. What kind of relationship is this? Besides, I'm not broke. I don't want to spend your money!"
After Xie Yiyi finished speaking, she turned around and was about to leave Lu Bingchen to help Wen Ci look at the gold jewelry.
Before he could take two steps forward, he was pulled back by Lu Bingchen.
The man whispered in her ear, bringing a hot and humid breeze, "The marriage certificate is fake, but the relationship is real. As long as you are my woman, it is only natural for you to spend my money."
"Take it, there's no limit."
Lu Bingchen forced a black card into Xie Yiyi's hand. The password was, "I only love Lu Bingchen. Enter the first letter on the nine-character key. Is that easy to remember?"
Xie Yiyi's breathing tightened for a moment. "Are you so generous to every woman you've slept with?"
"What did you say?"
Lu Bingchen's ears itched and he didn't hear clearly what she muttered.
Xie Yiyi lowered her eyes, avoiding his gaze, playing with the black card that was forced into her palm. The corners of her mouth twitched, and her voice became clearer. "I said, narcissist!"
"Hey, who gave me the capital to be narcissistic?"
"Hmph, it would be a waste if you don't brush it!"
Xie Yiyi had just bought a diamond necklace when Lu Bingchen's phone vibrated.
Lu Bingchen took out his cell phone, which contained an unfamiliar local number with no notes.
After hesitating for a second, he finally picked up the phone. "Who is this?"
As soon as the voice fell, Su Yuan's familiar voice came from the other end of the phone, "Bingchen, is that you? I'm Su Yuan. My phone and bag were stolen. Now I have no money. What should I do?"
In the coffee shop, Su Yuan hung up the phone, politely returned the phone to the waiter, and thanked him with a smile, "Thank you, little girl."
"Please take my order. I'd like a cappuccino without sugar, a blueberry dessert, and a mango mille-feuille."
The waitress was a young girl. Seeing that Su Yuan had an extraordinary sense of fashion and temperament, she came in and said that she had lost her cell phone and wallet and asked if she could borrow her cell phone to call a friend. She lent it to her.
But since I was penniless and still wanted to place an order, the waiter hesitated. "Miss, are you sure your friend will come to pick you up? If you can't pay the bill, the manager will deduct my salary."
Su Yuan smiled confidently: "Don't worry, he will definitely come."
"If she doesn't come, I'll give you this bracelet as compensation." Su Yuan shook the Cartier bracelet in her hand.
"Then I'll go place your order now, just wait a moment."
Soon, the waiter brought the coffee and dessert that Su Yuan ordered.
Su Yuan smiled and thanked him, then sat down by the window, elegantly picked up her coffee and took a sip, looking out the window at the azure ocean. The sun was shining brightly, the sea water was the same color as the sky, and seagulls were circling and dancing above the sea level.
Su Yuan's mind suddenly flashed back to many past events, including her relationship with Lu Bingchen during her time studying abroad. During holidays, they often went to the beach and bought bread to feed the seagulls circling in the sky.
At that time, Lu Bingchen always held her tightly in his arms from behind, confessed his love to her, and said that he only loved her in this life.
She said, “What if you change your mind?”
Lu Bingchen looked at her affectionately and swore, "If one day, I, Lu Bingchen, no longer love Su Yuan and fall in love with another woman, I, Lu Bingchen, will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death."
"Lu Bingchen, you must always remember what you said."
"Ayuan, I only love you, and I only want to marry you for the rest of my life."
…
Su Yuan lowered her eyes, picked up the coffee cup she had just put down and took another sip.
Su Yuan smiled as she tasted the sweet cappuccino with a hint of bitterness. She had originally thought that she would marry Lu Bingchen and become his wife. But she had never expected that after returning to China, so many things would happen, and in the end, she would become his sister-in-law.
And now, if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have known that Lu Bingchen, who had sworn to be struck by lightning if he didn't love her, had really changed his heart and actually married Xie Yiyi, who was in her twenties.
Su Yuan touched her face and could vaguely see her own outline through the glass window.
Is it because she is old?
So, Lu Bingchen fell in love with someone else and betrayed his oath...
"Su Yuan!"
A familiar voice sounded from the door of the cafe.
Su Yuan's eyes suddenly lit up and she turned to look towards the entrance of the coffee shop. Lu Bingchen looked worried. He pushed open the door and looked around the coffee shop. He soon met her gaze and strode towards her.
The moment she looked into Lu Bingchen's eyes, her uneasy heart calmed down again.
But before she could smile, Su Yuan saw Xie Yiyi following Lu Bingchen into the coffee shop.
"Sister-in-law, are you okay?"
Xie Yiyi passed Lu Bingchen and appeared in front of her first.
Su Yuan's expression froze slightly. She stood up and said to Xie Yiyi with a smile, "Miss Xie, you're here too?"
"Yiyi and I were shopping at the duty-free shop, and I came here after receiving your call."
Lu Bingchen looked Su Yuan up and down, making sure she was in good condition and not injured, and then he looked away from her. "Did you order coffee and dessert? You guys sit for a while, I'll go pay the bill first."
After saying that, he walked towards the counter.
"Ms. Xie, I'm so sorry to interrupt your date with Bingchen." Su Yuan said apologetically, "My phone and bag were stolen. I'm penniless. I only remember the phone numbers of Bingchen and my husband."
Xie Yiyi smiled and said, "It's okay, sister-in-law. We are all family."
Su Yuan obviously found it difficult to accept Xie Yiyi calling her "sister-in-law", but she had to accept it with a smile, "How did you get together with Bingchen when you have such a big age gap?"
"Hmm?" Xie Yiyi thought for a moment and said with a smile, "They must have developed feelings for each other during their sleep. They have a tacit understanding and fell in love over time."
"What about you? How did you and big brother get together in the first place?"
Su Yuan didn't expect that a lady from a noble family would talk nonsense as soon as she opened her mouth. However, the image of Lu Bingchen and Xie Yiyi sleeping couldn't help but emerge in her mind. The hand on her thigh was clenched into a fist, and her fingertips were deeply embedded in her palm.
"We've paid the bill, shall we go?"
After paying the bill, Lu Bingchen came over and saw Xie Yiyi smiling. She was looking down at Su Yuan, whose face was sometimes pale and sometimes blue. Others couldn't see it, but he knew it was the expression of Su Yuan who was so angry that she was speechless.
Lu Bingchen's eyes darkened as he looked at Xie Yiyi, "What did you talk about?"
Just as Xie Yiyi was about to speak, Su Yuan suddenly stood up and walked straight to the door, "We didn't talk about anything, let's go."
-
After coming out of the coffee shop, Lu Bingchen suggested going to the police station to report the crime and see if the thief could be caught.
After the three arrived at the police station, they did see from the surveillance footage that a child had secretly taken Su Yuan's cell phone and bag from her side, but the place where Su Yuan lost the things was a public area on the beach, and it was the peak tourist season, so catching the pickpocket was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
The police station could only issue a temporary ID card to Su Yuan. Then Lu Bingchen and Xie Yiyi accompanied her to buy a spare mobile phone and sent her back to the hotel villa where she was staying.
After returning to the villa, Su Yuan was just about to ask for dinner together in the evening.
Lu Bingchen spoke first, "We're leaving first. I just contacted my eldest brother, and he said he'll be here tomorrow. You're directionally challenged, so just rest up in the hotel today and wait for my eldest brother to arrive before going out to play."
Su Yuan hurriedly asked, "What about you?"
Lu Bingchen stiffened and avoided her enthusiastic and concerned gaze. "Yi Yi and I will return to Beijing tomorrow."
"Don't you want to stay for a few more days?"
"No, there are other things." Lu Bingchen said in a cold tone, "There are other things, we'll leave first."
Su Yuan walked the two to the door of the villa.
Xie Yiyi turned around and waved at her, "Bye, sister-in-law!"
Thinking she was far away, Su Yuan raised her hand and waved, but she glared at her with disgust on her face.
Xie Yiyi stopped and shouted, "Sister-in-law, are you glaring at me?"
Su Yuan's body stiffened, and she smiled and said, "No, there was sand in my eyes just now. You saw it wrongly."
"No way, my eyesight is very good..."
"Let's go."
Before she could finish, Lu Bingchen grabbed Xie Yiyi's wrist and strode forward.
Xie Yiyi sensed Lu Bingchen's strength and an emotion that she was trying hard to control.
She looked at Lu Bingchen's tense profile and her heart sank.
But more of it is the curiosity that has been pent up for many years. What exactly happened back then? If Lu Bingchen and Su Yuan really loved each other, why did Su Yuan end up marrying his biological elder brother?
Xie Yiyi tried to hold it in again and again, but after returning to the car, she couldn't hold it in any longer.
She asked bluntly: "Lu Bingchen, do you like Su Yuan?"
