Yu Yue was taken aback. After hearing what Xie Yan said, her face flushed red. Her fair cheeks, which had been covered up all winter, had not yet been tanned. Seeing her pink and tender appearance, Xie Yan felt a pang of desire.
He hadn't touched his wife in a long time.
Now, just looking at his wife, his breathing gradually became heavier.
Yu Yuehui was so close to Xie Yan that she could feel his breath getting hotter and hotter. Her eyelids twitched, and she glared at Xie Yan in fright, "Mind your manners!"
Xie Yan turned his face away and smiled, "It's okay, honey. Everyone's attention is over there right now, nobody's paying attention to us."
Seeing that Yu Yuehui was not doing well, Xie Yan kindly suggested, "Why don't you take a look?"
Yu Yue looked up guiltily and glanced around. Sure enough, everyone was staring at her with gossipy expressions.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, Yu Yue breathed a sigh of relief, but still said to Xie Yan, "You can't do this even if no one is paying attention. What if someone sees you?"
Xie Yan nodded, "I'll listen to you, honey. I'll control myself."
Yu Yue looked at him curiously, "Can this still be controlled?"
Xie Yan shook his head.
Yu Yue looked at him with dead fish eyes, "Then what you just said was just nonsense, wasn't it?"
Looking at her adorable appearance, Xie Yan couldn't resist pinching her cheek. "I won't look at you, you'll recover on your own."
Upon hearing this, Yu Yue's cheeks flushed even redder. She slapped Xie Yan's hand away and said with some embarrassment and indignation, "Then what are you waiting for? Turn your face away!" As she spoke, she manually turned Xie Yan's face to a different direction.
Xie Yan followed her lead and turned to look in that direction.
His father-in-law sat there with a dark face, clearly having been forced to do something he didn't want to do. It seemed the other couple had already finished their blessings.
Seeing Wang Xiao and Wang Yindi sitting opposite Wan Chun'er and Wang Chunhao, the two seemed oblivious to the atmosphere, smiling broadly, while Xie Yan's eyes remained dark.
Wang Xiao's complexion was much better than before, while Wang Yindi still looked the same as before, with a slightly thin expression, and was completely unharmed.
It seems Wan Chun'er is indeed quite useless.
Wang Xiao was very perceptive and noticed that someone was watching him. He looked up and saw Xie Yan's gaze.
He was slightly taken aback, surprised by the guy's keenness, but his expression remained unchanged. He stared straight at him without flinching, and grinned slightly.
Wang Xiao was taken aback at first, then smiled and nodded.
Xie Yan looked at Wang Xiao's smile; she had never had the chance to see him smile from this angle before.
Looking at this smiling face now, why does it look so eerie?
His cracked lips and curved eyes seemed perfectly designed, even the curve of his lips looked meticulously crafted. If it weren't for the complete lack of warmth in his eyes, one would truly think he was a warm and sunny person.
Xie Yan withdrew his gaze and ate the dishes in front of him expressionlessly.
Wang Xiao is problematic!
Moreover, this is not a minor issue.
With so many eyes watching, the fact that he could accurately lock onto me suggests there's something seriously wrong with him.
Xie Yan lowered his head, thinking of investigating it himself, but then he remembered Wang Xiao's level of vigilance. He was an unprofessional novice, and he might not only expose himself but also alert the enemy.
At this moment, Xie Yan saw Gu Che sitting next to him eating meat!
A smile played on his lips; there were no ready-made people around.
Gu Che immediately noticed Xie Yan's gaze, put down the meat he was holding, looked at Xie Yan, and said in a cold tone, "What is it?"
Xie Yan nodded honestly.
Gu Che "..."
That's honest enough.
Xie Yan, while looking down at his food, said to Gu Che, "Come to my house later, I need to talk to you about something."
Gu Che nodded calmly.
After the meal, Xie Yan patted Gu Bin on the shoulder reassuringly, returned the borrowed tables and chairs, and then left the newlyweds alone.
I will no longer disturb their wedding night.
After arriving home.
A moment later, Gu Che also came in.
Xie Yan looked at him and whispered, "Wang Xiao has a problem."
Gu Che was taken aback. There were plenty of people with problems, and Wang Xiao's problems weren't new. Why was Xie Yan suddenly saying this?
Seeing that he didn't understand what she meant, Xie Yan said directly, "I suspect that Wang Xiao is not an ordinary person."
"His identity is questionable."
Gu Che glanced at Xie Yan. "Where's the evidence?"
Xie Yan shared his discovery of the day: "No normal person would have such a keen sense of sight."
Fearing that Gu Che might not be up to par, Xie Yan gave an example: "Just today, I observed everyone present with the same gaze, and only he and you noticed it. Although he wasn't as fast as you, he wasn't much slower either. I don't need to elaborate on his level of sensitivity, do I?"
"Of course, my wife is an exception."
Hearing Xie Yan say this, Gu Che's heart sank. It seemed that this was indeed extraordinary. He had to take it seriously. He had been looking for people before and had not paid attention to the people in the educated youth settlement. "I will go and investigate."
Xie Yan nodded. "Be careful to stay hidden."
Gu Che nodded, "Don't worry, I can handle Wang Xiao."
If he could even fail against someone like Wang Xiao, he would have died on the battlefield long ago.
Xie Yan's lips twitched. He wasn't questioning the man's abilities at all; it was just normal small talk!
She secretly glared at Gu Che; this guy really has low emotional intelligence.
After Gu Che left, Xie Yan asked his wife directly, "Wife, do you know who lived in the cowshed before?"
Yu Yue put down the cloth in her hand. She was making clothes for the child and pinned the needle directly to the collar of the little clothes. She actually knew what this was. "It seems to be something about an official."
"I don't know exactly what official position he held, but I heard he was sent down for engaging in some kind of classism."
Xie Yan nodded, "That's someone who abuses privileges."
No, he still needs to double-check.
Xie Yan dared not imagine the consequences if the place were inhabited by demons and monsters who then conspired with Wang Xiao.
"Wife, does Father know exactly what that person does?"
Yu Yue shook her head. "I'm not sure, but you should go ask first, just in case Dad finds out."
Xie Yan nodded. "Then I'll go ask now." He didn't want to procrastinate and forget.
Yu Yue lowered her head and started sewing the clothes again. "Go, go."
Xie Yan went to the house to look for Yu Shan, but didn't see him. After a moment's thought, Xie Yan knew where his father-in-law was.
It must be at their newly planted apple trees. The weather has been dry lately, with little rain, so he must have gone there to water them.
Sure enough, Xie Yan went around to the back of the house and saw Yu Shan bending over watering the trees. "Dad, have the saplings grown?"
Yu Shan was startled by the sudden sound. He turned around and saw Xie Yan. He glared at him and said, "You're such a grown man, and you walk without making a sound. Who are you trying to scare to death?"
