If Yu Yue doesn't go back, and Xie Yan goes back alone, those nosy villagers will definitely gossip and spread all sorts of unpleasant rumors.
Thinking of this, she felt a pang of worry. Without saying a word, she handed the child to Gu Bin and hurriedly rushed to Xie Yan's house, her steps hurried and her expression anxious.
Gu Bin looked at the child playing with his little hands in his arms, then at his wife who had already walked away, a puzzled look on his face. He couldn't help but wonder, "What's going on?"
He couldn't figure out what his wife was rushing off to, and a sense of unease crept into his heart.
Could it be that his wife went to stand up for her sister and settle scores with Xie Yan?
oops!
Well, nothing should go wrong, right?
He took a deep breath and kept reassuring himself, "It's okay, it's okay. Even if my wife really lays a hand on Xie Yan for her best friend, it's alright. Xie Yan can definitely handle it. After all, he's a grown man, tough as nails."
After comforting himself with this thought, Gu Bin felt relieved.
The main reason is that he knows Xie Yan's character well. Putting aside his relationship with Xie Yan, just considering the relationship between his wife and Yu Yuehui, Xie Yan wouldn't say anything to Zhang Linghui.
Xie Yanjia.
Yu Yue looked at Zhang Shiyu, who was running over breathlessly, put down her needlework, and poured her a glass of water. "Why are you in such a hurry? What's wrong?"
Zhang Linghui, holding a water glass, said anxiously, "Gu Bin just said that Xie Yan is going back to Beijing. Aren't you and Chaochao going?"
Yu Yue nodded, "That's right!"
Zhang Linghui anxiously put down her cup. "What do you mean? Do you know what it means that Xie Yan isn't taking you back?"
Although she felt that Xie Yan wasn't that kind of person, you can only know a person's face but not their heart; some people are just good at pretending.
She was genuinely afraid that Yu Yuehui would be blinded by love and foolishly deceived by Xie Yanhei.
Yu Yuehui immediately understood Zhang Shiyu's feelings, and felt a warmth in her heart. Not wanting to worry her, she quickly explained Xie Yan and his family's situation, focusing on Xie Yan's plan to buy a house.
They heard that Xie Yan's relationship with his family was not good, and he was afraid that Yu Yue would be mistreated if she went back, so they decided to buy a separate house for themselves.
Zhang Shiyu's goodwill towards Xie Yan increased immediately. He was a responsible man who cared for his wife and had not let down his good friend's kindness to him.
Her brows immediately relaxed, and her mood improved. She gently patted Yu Yuehui's shoulder and said with great enthusiasm, "Don't worry, Sister Yueyue. I will definitely keep an eye on things when I go this time."
"Not to mention Gu Bin, given his relationship with your partner, he will definitely do his best to help."
"As the saying goes, three cobblers are equal to one Zhuge Liang. With the three of us working together, buying a house will definitely not be a difficult task, and we can get it done quickly."
"Then Xie Yan will be able to come back earlier and celebrate the New Year with you!"
Yu Yue listened and a warm smile bloomed on her face. "Then I'll stay home and wait patiently for you to buy a house over there."
Zhang Linghui nodded vigorously, her eyes sparkling with anticipation, "It can definitely be done perfectly."
"If there's a suitable one, I'll buy one too. It would be best if I could buy one closer to your store."
"If we can go back to the city in the future, we can still be neighbors, and we can get together and chat like we do now. Wouldn't that be great?"
Yu Yue smiled and nodded, also looking forward to Zhang Linghui's words, "That would be the best."
"With you by my side, I'll feel at ease if I go to Beijing in the future, and I won't be afraid of being in an unfamiliar place."
Hearing Yu Yuehui say this, Zhang Linghui was even more tempted. She immediately stood up and said excitedly, "I'll go back and discuss it with Gu Bin right away."
Yu Yue replied: "..."
There's no need to rush!
Gu Bin was equally excited when he heard Zhang Linghui's words. He hadn't thought about it when Xie Yan mentioned buying a house in Beijing, but now that Zhang Linghui had brought it up, he instantly felt that it was a fantastic idea.
He looked at Zhang Linghui with a determined gaze and said without hesitation, "Okay! We'll buy them too."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Linghui's face lit up with a bright smile. She tilted her head and asked with a hint of teasing, "Do you have enough money over there?"
Gu Bin nodded confidently and patted his chest: "Don't worry, it's enough. If it's not enough, I'll ask my dad for more. He has a lot of savings hidden away!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Linghui's eyes sharpened instantly. She narrowed her eyes slightly, moved closer to Gu Bin, lowered her voice, and said half-jokingly and half-threateningly, "So, you also have some secret savings, huh!"
Gu Bin's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly shook his head, putting on an innocent expression. "No, I don't have any secret stash of money!"
"You've always held the reins of our family's finances."
Zhang Linghui stared intently into his eyes, as if trying to see through his thoughts.
Gu Bin felt a chill run down his spine under her gaze, and couldn't help but swallow hard. He then said firmly again, "Really, no!"
Seeing his nervous expression, Zhang Linghui couldn't help but chuckle and waved her hand, saying, "Okay, I believe you."
In truth, she knew that this guy was definitely hiding some money, but she wasn't the type to control her man so tightly that he wouldn't have a single penny to his name.
That was just to scare him on purpose.
Gu Bin was completely unaware that Zhang Linghui had seen through his little scheme. He thought he had successfully fooled her with his "superb acting skills" and was secretly pleased with himself.
When the day of departure finally arrived, it was still dark outside, and all was quiet except for the howling of the biting wind, which seemed to be trying to get through the cracks in the windows.
Early in the morning, Xie Yan got up quietly and went to Chaochao's bedside.
Looking at his daughter's sleeping face, he was filled with reluctance.
He quietly got off the kang (a heated brick bed) to wash up. As soon as he finished washing, he looked up and saw the little one climbing up from the kang. Seeing her calling for her father with her eyes closed, Xie Yan felt a warmth in his heart.
Yu Yue pulled Xie Yan back as she was about to go and hold the child, saying, "Go on, you should go eat breakfast, or you won't have time to eat later."
Xie Yan nodded, yawned, and sat down at the table to eat.
After getting dressed, Chaochao stood quietly beside Xie Yan, holding onto his sleeve.
Although she had already told Chaochao that she was going to the capital, when it was time to leave, Chaochao still couldn't help but pout her little mouth in grievance.
Seeing his precious daughter's pitiful yet strong appearance, Xie Yan felt a pang of heartache and immediately picked her up gently, coaxing her tenderly, "Chao Chao, my sweetie, Daddy will buy you lots and lots of delicious pastries this time. They're the kind of pastries we don't have here, and they taste amazing."
"And Daddy will try to come home as early as possible. You and Mommy can stay home and wait for Daddy, okay?"
