Xie Yan simply smiled slightly, a smile that concealed a subtle, unspoken meaning. He felt it was best not to let Yu Yuehui know some things.
After all, knowing some things only adds to the troubles, and he would rather Yu Yuehui be carefree forever.
However, life always seems to play tricks on people, and things don't always go as you expect.
The next day was another beautiful, sunny day. The sun shone brightly in the courtyard, and the old locust tree outside cast dappled shadows on the wall.
Gu Bin arrived early. When Xie Yan saw him, she was filled with curiosity and couldn't help but ask, "Why are you here so early today?"
"Don't you usually stick to Zhang Linghui's side?"
"What, didn't you go with her today?"
Upon hearing Zhang Linghui's name, Gu Bin's face instantly lit up with a smile as radiant as a spring flower. He said with feigned affection, "I haven't spent much time with you in so long, so I thought I'd come and keep you company!"
Xie Yan was disgusted by his nauseating remarks and couldn't help but shout, "Get out!"
He shook off the goosebumps on his body and said, "What happened to you? You were perfectly fine, and suddenly you went crazy?"
Gu Bin was taken aback by Xie Yan's retort, "..."
He glared at Xie Yan, somewhat embarrassed and angry, at the clueless guy. "My wife went to the commune with her friends today. I had nothing to do, so I came to see you."
Xie Yan gave him a disdainful look, then teased, "I knew it! You've been fawning over her like a peacock displaying its feathers lately."
"Why did you suddenly have time to come see me? Oh, so you've been dumped!"
Gu Bin's face turned red with anger, and he retorted loudly, "I knew it! You dog, you can't say anything nice. What do you mean by 'abandon'? We're doing things separately, that's more efficient!"
Indeed, that was the case. Ever since Zhang Linghui agreed to marry him, Gu Bin was like a completely different person.
He followed Zhang Linghui around like a shadow every day, and they had to do everything together.
At first, Zhang Linghui was still immersed in the sweetness, and the scene of the two being affectionate made others envious.
But as time goes on, even the sweetest, most affectionate moments become unbearable.
Zhang Linghui had been feeling really uncomfortable being clung to by Gu Bin lately, and today she was overjoyed to finally find a chance to separate from him.
Without Gu Bin as a "burden," her work efficiency instantly improved, and she felt much lighter.
Her excitement even caught the attention of Shen Lijuan, who asked curiously, "You're getting married, and you're so different now, you're all smiles."
Zhang Linghui shook her head mysteriously, feigning profundity, and said, "You wouldn't understand!"
Xie Yan couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this, then said with great melancholy, "Yes, I don't understand. But what can I do? I'm already married."
"Sigh, even the stable life of two people being together every day after marriage can be quite troublesome! Unlike you, who still has to endure the anxiety of waiting to get your marriage certificate."
Gu Bin's eyes turned red with anger as he glared at Xie Yan: "Xie Yan, are you sick in the head? I came to see you out of kindness, and this is how you treat me?"
Xie Yan sneered and retorted without any mercy: "So you came to see me?"
"You have nowhere else to go, don't you?"
"You've gone too far with your screen display. The girl is already turning her back on you. Don't you want to look at your own behavior to see why?"
Gu Bin's eyes widened, as if he had been greatly wronged, and he argued loudly, "You're talking nonsense! Linghui didn't look down on me at all. She's busy with our new home." After saying that, a shy smile appeared on his face.
That smile startled Xie Yan, giving him goosebumps all over his body.
Who knows?!
Seeing a shy expression on a tough guy's face is more frightening than encountering a ghost in the middle of the night.
Gu Bin naturally noticed Xie Yan's reaction, but he didn't care at all.
In his mind, how could Xie Yan, a "secluded and resentful man" who had never experienced the sweetness of love, understand his feelings at this moment?
In his view, this is the drawback of arranged marriages; the two people don't even have the most beautiful courtship process.
Of course, although Xie Yan and his family did not have a completely arranged marriage, they "bought" him over a few meals, so how could they expect him to have any profound understanding of love?
Gu Bin felt extremely good about himself, and his gaze towards Xie Yan carried a sense of superiority.
Xie Yan looked at him like this, "..."
I couldn't help but think to myself, this person is definitely obsessed with love.
He clicked his tongue and couldn't help but sigh, "People who can navigate the ups and downs of love are truly remarkable!"
Those who can stay together despite constant bickering are truly masters among masters.
Someone like him who can't handle any drama is better suited to this relatively simple "arranged" marriage. How great, it's a one-step solution.
Thinking about Gu Bin's upcoming wedding, Xie Yan suddenly remembered a problem: Gu Bin would definitely still be eating at their house from time to time after the wedding, so the issue of distributing the oil noodles that he had paid for before needed to be resolved as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, Xie Yan asked directly, "We still have quite a bit of the noodles and oil we bought together last time. When are you coming to pick them up?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Bin rolled his eyes and said irritably, "What, I'm not even married yet, and you're already thinking of kicking me out!"
Xie Yan was momentarily speechless, choked with emotion.
He felt extremely wronged; why was he being made to look like a wicked mother-in-law?
Gu Bin continued, relentlessly, "Haven't I eaten enough at your house? If we really follow your logic, then shouldn't I be exempt from eating all the cured meat and sausages you buy?"
Xie Yan fell silent again, "..."
Before he could speak, Gu Bin didn't give him a chance and continued, "Just because I'm married doesn't mean I can't come over here occasionally for a treat."
Seeing that Gu Bin was about to continue, Xie Yan quickly raised his hands in surrender and said helplessly, "Big brother, shut up! If you say anything more, it's my fault, okay?"
"It was my fault; I shouldn't have asked you that question!"
Gu Bin nodded in satisfaction. "What else could it be!"
Xie Yan was quite helpless and could only go along with him, saying, "Okay, okay, I know. Shut up and don't say anything more. I was just worried that you hadn't bought everything you wanted."
Gu Bin's lips curled up slightly, and he smugly hummed, "Hmph, I'm getting married soon, so of course I'll buy things with my wife! She's involved in every single thing in our wedding room."
"I have to admire my own brilliant planning, which gave me the opportunity to decorate my new home with her."
