Ye Linyan absolutely refused to eat dinner in the bedroom. Xu Nuo couldn't persuade him otherwise, so she put a soft cushion on his chair before he finally sat down.
Seeing the normal food on the table, Ye Linyan's dark expression, which had been sullen all day, finally eased somewhat.
It wasn't until Xu Nuo brought another bowl of soup from the kitchen that Ye Linyan couldn't help but ask:
"Are you still drinking?"
Xu Nuo sat down next to Ye Linyan, scooped up a spoonful of water and put it to Ye Linyan's lips:
"The traditional Chinese medicine doctor said that I need to nourish myself for a period of time, and that I only need to drink one bowl a day, not as many different kinds of drinks as I did yesterday!"
"Take it away! I don't want to drink it!"
Ye Linyan turned his head away. Last night, Xu Nuo had to keep him occupied for so long, all thanks to this soup!
"Fine, I'll drink it myself!"
Xu Nuo sipped her soup with a smile, occasionally glancing up at Ye Linyan as she ate.
"I need to go to the company tomorrow..."
Ye Linyan ate very little before putting down his chopsticks and saying something hesitantly.
"Go ahead!"
“You’ll come with me!” Ye Linyan said after taking a sip of water.
"What would it look like if I went to work with you? If someone asks, you'll get upset! Besides, didn't you say I couldn't show my face during this period?"
Xu Nuocai was unwilling to go to the company with him. He had only been there a few times before. Once, when he went to Ye Linyan's office, he happened to run into a guest in his office.
Xu Nuo seemed to be Ye Linyan's business partner, but when asked who Xu Nuo was...
Xu Nuo can still recall Ye Linyan's embarrassed expression at the time.
At the time, Xu Nuo was ostensibly the boss of Yunduan, so many people in Yuncheng recognized him. Seeing Ye Linyan's strange expression, that person jokingly asked him:
"Mr. Ye and Mr. Xu are getting so close! If we visit Cloud again, can we get a discount?"
Ye Linyan's answer at the time left Xu Nuo feeling down for a long time.
After returning home that day, Ye Linyan even lost his temper with Xu Nuo, telling him that in the future, even if there was something important, he could just call and not come to the company to find him!
Ye Linyan paused for a moment, recalling the incident, then lowered her eyes and remained silent.
Xu Nuo felt a pang of sadness, but before the bitterness subsided, she smiled again:
"I can wait for you at home! I'll just take this opportunity to see which places are fun!"
Ye Linyan picked up some food and put it in Xu Nuo's bowl, then remained silent.
——————————————————————————
Before going to bed, Xu Nuo took a shower, casually dried her hair with a towel, and tossed it aside. As soon as she stepped out of the bathroom, she saw Ye Linyan waiting outside the bathroom door.
"You need to use the restroom? Just go in!"
Ever since dinner, Xu Nuo had noticed that Ye Linyan was acting strangely; his face was somber, and he wasn't saying much.
Ye Linyan looked at Xu Nuo's wet hair, then pulled Xu Nuo back into the bathroom and stood in front of the mirror.
"It's not good to not dry your hair!"
As she spoke, she picked up the hairdryer from the side and began to blow-dry Xu Nuo's hair.
Xu Nuo leaned on the sink, watching Ye Linyan carefully blow-dry her hair in the mirror.
"Brother, I'm all better now, you don't need to worry about me! I...I'm fine..."
Ye Linyan didn't answer, but just kept blowing Xu Nuo's hair.
Xu Nuo didn't know what was wrong with Ye Linyan, but something was definitely wrong!
After drying his hair, Xu Nuo straightened up, but Ye Linyan hugged him from behind. Looking at Xu Nuo in the mirror for a long while, he said in a deep voice:
"Arno, you know I'm not good at sweet talk! I can't say anything fancy either!"
"elder brother..........."
Ye Linyan made a shushing gesture to the person in the mirror.
Xu Nuo didn't understand Ye Linyan's actions and stared at the two people in the mirror.
Ye Linyan reached out and unfastened his robe, the silk material sliding down his shoulders...
"Here...here! And here..."
Ye Linyan's fingertips traced the marks Xu Nuo left on his neck, collarbone, and shoulder...
Xu Nuo looked at every inch of skin that Ye Linyan's fingertips touched, every spot bearing the marks she had left the night before...
Ye Linyan looked in the mirror, Xu Nuo's gaze lingering on the marks. He gripped Xu Nuo's chin, forcing him to look at him, into those questioning eyes, and asked:
"Arno, wouldn't these... be proof that I love you?"
"You...you said...what?"
Xu Nuo felt like she was hallucinating again, and asked in a somewhat confused manner.
Ye Linyan grasped Xu Nuo's shoulders, turned him around, cupped his face, and looked him in the eye:
"Aren't these proof that I love you!"
Xu Nuo stood frozen in place, Ye Linyan's words echoing in her mind, but her brain felt as if it were covered by something, unable to function at all!
Ye Linyan gently kissed Xu Nuo's forehead, their noses touching, and whispered:
"Arno, I love you!"
Xu Nuo's mind completely went blank, buzzing. He never imagined those words would come out of Ye Linyan's mouth...
"elder brother..............."
Xu Nuo managed to squeeze out a single word, and then tears streamed down her face like beads from a broken string.
"How can someone so grown up still cry so much! You cry when you're in pain, you cry when you're wronged, and now you're crying again..."
Ye Linyan pulled Xu Nuo into her arms, gently stroking him, and said:
"Arno, you're mine! I'll let everyone know that you're my love! My love for life!"
Xu Nuo wiped her tears vigorously on Ye Linyan's body, tilted her head back, and smiled with tear stains still on her face:
"You're just trying to trick me into going to the company with you!"
"Hmm, I also want to lie and ask you to stay with me for the rest of your life! Is that okay?"
"I'll think about it..."
Xu Nuo raised her hand to wipe her face, turned around, turned on the water, and rinsed her face with it.
...........................................................................
Have you thought it through?
After taking a shower, Ye Linyan came out and looked at Xu Nuo, who was still lying on the bed playing on her phone, and asked her a question.
"Marriage is a life-changing event, how can I make a decision so quickly! I need to think about it carefully!"
Xu Nuo put down her phone and was about to turn over and lie down when Ye Linyan pulled her into his arms from the side.
"Then take your time thinking about it, I'm not in a hurry..."
Ye Linyan used her fingers to lift Xu Nuo's nightgown.
"However, Arno, shouldn't we settle the score for yesterday...?"
As soon as Xu Nuo moved, Ye Linyan grabbed her around the waist and pulled her down to his feet...
"You can't renege on your debt!"
