Chapter 123 Another New Year's Eve
"Yu Yin, I understand your concerns, so if you ask me, I will explain it to you properly. I don't want to argue or disagree with you anymore. But how did you find out?"
"I remember you said you wouldn't force me to accept your feelings. I was a little skeptical at first, but then I realized it. You feel guilty about this matter." Yu Yin didn't mention Yu Meimei.
"I asked Xiang Yue, and I guessed that you were in danger because of my sudden decision to go to Lincheng. I don't want something like this to happen again."
Zhao Shunian originally didn't want to talk about this matter too much, fearing that it would burden Yu Yin again. But when Yu Yin brought it up, he decided to speak out.
"That wasn't your fault. I never blamed you for it."
"But I was the cause of this."
"Even if what you said was the cause, you didn't control me or force me to go. I wanted to go on my own, and I had a grudge with someone. She wanted to harm Xiang Yue and even dragged me along. I'm glad she did, otherwise I would have lost a good friend."
Yu Yin lay on top of Zhao Shunian. "At that time, I wasn't just avoiding your feelings for me, but also my feelings for you. Later, I thought, we've been married for three years now, there's no need to dwell on whether you love me or I love you. Emotional matters are hard to explain and difficult to sort out. It's more important that we can continue on and live in harmony."
Zhao Shunian couldn't help feeling happy when he heard Yu Yin's words. Her frankness was much better than her previous evasion.
Yu Yin then continued, "When you first came back, I didn't know how to treat you. Should I be angry or not? I just wanted to tease you so that you wouldn't get anything and would feel bad. But I think I was too stupid. I won't treat you this way anymore because you're the one who takes advantage."
Zhao Shunian pinched Yu Yin's face and said, "What do you mean I'm the one who got all the benefits? Didn't you enjoy it?"
Yu Yin said duplicity: "No."
"I'm going to take your denial as an admission."
"What if I say yes?"
"Then you admit it. I also have to admit one thing to you. Your plan succeeded, and I'm still upset."
The two looked at each other with lingering affection in their eyes. Yu Yin felt something, so she didn't dare to lie on him anymore and lay back down.
Zhao Shunian turned sideways and pulled Yu Yin into his arms, kissed her hair, and said good night to her.
Yu Yin turned over and said goodnight to him as well. They slept together in each other's arms.
Sometimes, when a couple has a major conflict, recognizing their inner feelings and handling it properly can be a good thing. However, both Yu Yin and Zhao Shunian said they don't want to experience this kind of good thing again, as it is heartbreaking and harmful to their health.
Zhao Shunian said he'd never been so consumed by such a stressful situation, even when discussing major projects. He had a mountain of work piled up at the end of the year, and he kept working overtime to get it done. Occasional late nights became frequent, all because of this incident.
Zhao Shunian used to think that his attention was not as focused as usual, and he could not accurately grasp the pulse of the market and obtain useful information.
For important work matters, he resorted to procrastination. Procrastination was always better than making blind decisions. A wrong decision would result in a painful price. Procrastination required skill, not inaction, and he put a lot of thought into it.
………
Early in the morning, Yu Yin got up early and started packing his luggage to go home, while Zhao Shunian got up at the normal time.
Zhao Shunian entered the cloakroom and saw Yu Yin had opened all her suitcases, turning the once tidy place into a mess. In just one night, his cloakroom had been invaded by her.
It was like she always disturbed him so arrogantly, and then looked at him innocently and confusedly like now, not knowing who was the culprit and what she had done.
Yu Yin didn't lock the door and didn't know he would break in like this. She subconsciously turned around to look at him, then quickly turned back. She hadn't put on her clothes yet.
But the hot breath was already close to her shoulders and back, its presence was too strong, and there was an undercurrent surging.
No one was completely relieved last night, and the flames were ignited again. She couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Zhao Shunian slowly and methodically pushed her curly hair to her chest, revealing her uncovered back, which was flawless and white.
He kissed and bit her butterfly bone, "Did you feel that I didn't torture me enough last night and didn't satisfy you, so you want to do it again this morning?"
"I didn't mean it this time. It's just you and me here, and you didn't get up, so I didn't lock the door." Yu Yin was already restrained by the arm across her abdomen, unable to escape, so she had to explain.
"Don't be so unprepared next time. Luckily I haven't called anyone to clean up yet."
"I understand. Let me go. It feels very..." Yu Yin was too embarrassed to say the word pornographic.
"I'll let you go, but not now."
………
The two did not return to the old house until the afternoon.
The servant took Yu Yin's luggage to the second floor and sorted it out.
Yu Yin changed his clothes and went downstairs, and Zhao Shunian was called away by Zhao Yunbin.
As soon as Yu Yin sat down, Mrs. Lian asked her, "Why are you back so late this year?"
She said calmly, "I've been busy with work lately."
Yu Yin picked up the teacup and drank tea while talking to Zhao Xiyan beside her. Her attitude clearly showed that she didn't want to continue chatting with Mrs. Lian.
When Yu Yin faced Mrs. Zhou, she maintained the virtue of respecting the elderly. As long as Zhao Yunyi was not involved and Mrs. Zhou was not in a state of irritation, the two of them seemed to get along harmoniously on the surface.
But as for Mrs. Lian, Yu Yin felt that she was easy to bully because he treated her well, so she took advantage of him.
Mrs. Lian could certainly see the change in Yu Yin's attitude towards her. She and Lian Ke'er had offended Yu Yin that time, and now Yu Yin didn't want to bother with Lian Yunxin.
Mrs. Lian felt that Yu Yin was now more cheerful and confident, which was very different from the cautious and timid person she was when she first married into the Zhao family.
Ms. Jian felt guilty when she saw Yu Yin. She lamented in her heart why she gave birth to such a son who liked to follow Zhao Shunian and snatch women.
If she said that Yu Yin seduced her son, she would be struck by lightning. She knew her son's character very well.
Everyone had their own thoughts and no one was planning to stab someone in the back. Yu Yin felt a lot more relaxed, but it was a little regrettable that she had missed a lot of big events during her absence.
In the evening, when Yu Yin sat down in the restaurant, Zhao Jinian, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, also sat down. The two looked at each other for a second and then separated.
Ms. Jian and Zhao Xiyan pinched Zhao Jinian's thigh at the same time. If other people in the family knew about this, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Zhao Jinian touched his battered thigh and helplessly mouthed "I know."
Zhao Yunyi, who was home for New Year's Eve this year, noticed their actions and thought they were warning Zhao Jinian to behave himself tonight. She laughed and said, "I think the lesson from last time was too great. Now that I look at Jinian, I feel that he is much less of a worry. The prodigal son has turned over a new leaf like this. You can all rest assured from now on, second sister-in-law."
