Chapter 5 Chapter 5 Brother Pei Shi, you are so fierce
Chapter 5
When Wen Ying came back in the evening, it was almost eleven o'clock.
Ruan Yan went to the study to find her, but she was still busy on the phone dealing with company matters.
She raised her eyes and greeted Wen Ying with her eyes, indicating that she should go about her business. Ruan Yan sat on the chair behind the desk and waited quietly.
Wen Ying is rarely at home. Even when she is, except for sleeping, she spends most of her time in the study working on official business.
Ruan Yan held her chin with one hand casually, her eyes originally looking around casually, but as she looked, her attention could not help but fall on the person in front of her.
Not knowing what trouble the company had encountered, Wen Ying frowned deeply: "From now on, you must seize every minute and every second, but remember not to make mistakes in a hurry..."
Her voice was a little hoarse, and although her tone was still strong and powerful, there was already fatigue in her eyes.
Thinking about how she rushed out of town early yesterday morning and came back so late today, I guess she must have been too busy to have a good rest these two days.
She really works very hard.
Ruan Yan suddenly felt a little guilty. She was idle at home all day and had nothing to eat, while Wen Ying was busy every day and didn't even have time to breathe.
"Why haven't you slept yet?" Wen Ying's voice interrupted her thoughts.
Ruan Yan came back to her senses and sat up straight: "I heard you coming back, so I came out to see."
Wen Ying reached out and tapped on the computer a few times, then said, "What's going on between you and that Lu Peishi? I only saw the photos online when I got off the plane."
"Ah, it was just a misunderstanding between him and me," Ruan Yan said, her palms resting on the table. "Those reporters deliberately took the wrong photos and made up a story out of nothing."
Wen Ying nodded, seemingly not wanting to delve deeper into the topic.
Ruan Yan had prepared a lot of explanations, but she didn't expect them to be of any use.
"Xiaoyan," Wen Ying said, still facing the computer screen, "How has Jia Yanyuan treated you since you came back this time?"
Wen Ying's sudden change of subject surprised Ruan Yan a little: "It's...it's pretty good."
Wen Ying hummed and said nothing.
Ruan Yan always felt that she was hesitant to speak.
"Sister, are you still angry about what happened at Brother Ayan's cocktail party that night?" She took the initiative to ask the question.
"It's more than that," Wen Ying looked up at her. "No matter what his relationship with Qiao Qianqian was before, you two are now boyfriend and girlfriend. He should keep his distance."
Originally, Wen Ying didn't want to say it. She had heard a long time ago that Jia Yanyuan and Qiao Qianqian had a close relationship, and she also happened to see the two of them together. It was really hard not to think too much.
Out of concern for her family, she had hinted to Ruan Yan in words and deeds, but Ruan Yan was extremely hostile to her at that time and could not stand anyone's speculation about Jia Yanyuan, so in the end the two of them ended up unpleasantly.
So later on, no matter what news Wen Ying heard about Jia Yanyuan and Qiao Qianqian, she turned a blind eye and stopped interfering. Even though she knew that Ruan Yan and him had a big fight for a while, she was too lazy to intervene.
But in his heart, he had some complaints about Jia Yanyuan.
This time, he did this again in front of so many media outlets, showing absolutely no sense of propriety at all, which made Wen Ying dislike him even more.
In the past, she might still not say anything more to Ruan Yan, but now looking at Ruan Yan's simple and innocent face, she felt a little bit reluctant.
Ruan Yan doesn't remember anything now. She is already in love, and Jia Yanyuan is good at taking advantage of her emotional weaknesses, making her even easier to control.
No matter how incompatible they were in the past, at least they have a harmonious relationship now. At least she is still her own sister. She still doesn't want Ruan Yan to be used by someone with ulterior motives.
"If he really wanted you to do good, he should have been more considerate of you and your feelings, instead of letting the person who was most hurt speak for him afterwards."
"Sister..." This lecture made Ruan Yan feel inexplicably guilty.
Wen Ying sighed softly: "I don't mean to deliberately sow discord between you, I just..."
She paused, "I don't want to see you get hurt. I want you to be happy."
I finally said what I had been holding back in my heart. I felt a little relieved, but also a little awkward.
Such a sentimental conversation would hardly happen between her and her adult sister.
After she finished speaking, in order to hide the unnatural embarrassment in her eyes, Wen Ying turned her gaze back to the computer screen.
Ruan Yan blinked hard and suddenly felt that it was great to have a sister.
She stood up from her chair: "Don't worry, I know who is good to me, and I also know the difference between family and outsiders."
Wen Ying stared into her eyes for a long time, a little surprised.
Those eyes were so clear and innocent, but through the light reflected in them, Wen Ying seemed to catch a bit of clarity and calmness.
Before she could say anything, Ruan Yan had already jumped to her side and hugged her enthusiastically.
"Sister, you are so nice to me."
Wen Ying's back couldn't help but stiffen and goosebumps appeared on her skin.
She is still trying to adapt to this overly enthusiastic sister, and this is not a mentality that can be changed overnight.
But, looking at the soft and delicate person in my arms, this feeling is strange, yet a little familiar.
She seemed to see little Ruan Yan when she was little, with her tender face and round eyes that would sparkle. Every time she saw Wen Ying coming home from school, she would rush over excitedly and act coquettishly in a baby voice: "Sister Ying, I haven't seen you all day, I missed you so much——"
Although those warm times were short, they did exist.
Wen Ying's mind was a little fuzzy, the images in her memory gradually overlapping with the figure before her. In the blink of an eye, that adorable little Ruan Yan had grown up so much.
"Sister, why are you in a daze? Is it because you didn't sleep well these two days and are too tired?" Ruan Yan asked.
Wen Ying came to her senses and realized that it was not an illusion.
She shook her head slightly, with a faint smile on her lips that she herself didn't even notice.
Outside the window was a quiet night, and the warm orange light from the street lamps was no different from usual, but somehow, her heart seemed to have an extra warm and soft weight.

After finishing the work with Jia Yanyuan and Wen Ying, the next one is the most difficult one to deal with, Lu Peishi.
Ruan Yan didn't have his contact information, so she could only use the most crude, stupid and direct method, which was to wait and see.
Fortunately, we currently have an innate geographical advantage. We are close and it is more convenient to stay there.
But Lu Peishi was always elusive and spent very little time at home. Ruan Yan had been waiting for several days but couldn't catch any trace of him.
Instead, she discovered that there was a nanny in his house. Seeing the nanny go out to buy things, Ruan Yan, who was almost getting moldy waiting there every day, wanted to go up and ask what Lu Peishi was going to bring back, but she still held back.
When her aunt came back that day, Ruan Yan discovered that she was carrying a lot more things than usual when she got out of the car.
Looking at the logo on the shopping bag, Ruan Yan's eyes lit up. Usually, her aunt would go to the nearby market to buy vegetables, but today she drove to a supermarket three kilometers away to make purchases. Does this mean that Lu Peishi is likely to come back today?
Thinking of this, she put away her unhappiness of the past few days, cheered up, and thought, her chance to show off is finally here.
In order not to miss the best time for Lu Peishi to return home, Ruan Yan didn't even have time to eat lunch properly. She just grabbed a few slices of bread and continued to wait at his door.
But the weather in June always changes suddenly.
The sky was sunny and blue just a moment ago, but in the blink of an eye, dark clouds surged over like waves. The wind blew loudly, and the fallen leaves rolled several times in the air.
This is going to be a storm.
Ruan Yan hesitated for a few seconds between retreating and defending, then gritted her teeth, opened an umbrella and continued to hold her position.
She thought that it would be best if Lu Peishi came back when it was raining the heaviest and found her shivering under the umbrella, still insisting on waiting for him. He would be deeply moved and feel pity for her. Wouldn't that make things more efficient and happy?
However, half an hour later, the sunlight penetrated the clouds again and slanted down on the wet umbrella.
Ruan Yan under the umbrella: "..."
What’s going on? If I had known, I would have gone back to hide from the rain.
I folded the ribs of my umbrella in frustration, raised my head, and saw the familiar tungsten-colored car slowly approaching.
Lu Peishi is back.
Ruan Yan excitedly took a step forward and watched the car approach from afar. It stopped beside her for a while, but the person inside did not lower the window. After the door on the side opened, they drove straight into the garage.
...No way.
However, two minutes later, Lu Peishi, who still had some humanity, turned back.
He was wearing a black shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows. He had broad shoulders and a narrow waist. He was tall and had long legs. He looked stylish even when he walked casually.
"Is there something?" Lu Peishi looked down at her, his eyes still sharp, but a faint blue hue could be seen in his eyes.
Ruan Yan adjusted her state and lowered her head: "Brother Pei Shi, have you seen the report on the Internet?"
She rubbed her itchy nose and said with a guilty tone, "I'm sorry. I didn't know I would be secretly photographed, and I didn't know that someone would post it online and make up stories. Have I caused you a lot of trouble..."
"Yes." The other party's answer showed no mercy at all.
“…”
Ruan Yan's lips twitched, but in order not to disrupt the rhythm, she continued calmly: "I'm really sorry, it's all my fault. I was afraid you would misunderstand me, and even more afraid that you would be angry. I really wanted to explain to you, but I didn't know how to contact you, so I waited at your door. I waited for several days before finally waiting for you to come back."
The voice-over means, I've been waiting at your door for so long, I'm sincere enough, just give it up.
"Brother Pei Shi, I know this matter has caused you a lot of trouble..." At this time, Ruan Yan seized the opportunity and sneezed cutely out of thin air.
She raised her big, watery eyes and said, "I'm sorry. I got caught in the rain just now. I might have caught a cold."
What I mean is, I caught a cold because of you, and if you are still angry with me, that’s too much.
"Brother Pei Shi, can you forgive me for this?"
Ruan Yan covered her mouth pitifully, determined to carry out the moral kidnapping to the end.
An awkward silence hung in the air.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
After a while, Ruan Yan heard a neutral voice from above her head: "Oh."
…
oh?
oh!
What does this "oh" mean? Does it mean you don't mind it anymore, or does it mean you don't believe me and are still angry?
Why don't you explain clearly? What are you talking about? What will happen if you say a few more words?
How can I continue to argue like this?
Ruan Yan was feeling confused when she heard the other person say coldly, "Are you done?"
Without waiting for Ruan Yan to answer, Lu Peishi turned around and was about to go back.
"Hey, wait," Ruan Yan subconsciously grabbed his arm, "Brother Pei Shi, do you have a misunderstanding about me? I... Ah-Qiu!"
An uncontrollable sneeze escaped his mouth.
"Oh, sorry, sorry." Ruan Yan sniffed awkwardly. When she looked up, she saw Lu Peishi staring at her with a disheveled look in the wind and a terrible expression.
Looking at the spit on his face, Ruan Yan froze for a few seconds: "I didn't mean to..."
I swear to God, she really didn't mean it this time!
Lu Peishi shook her hand off, his face stern, almost gritting his teeth: "Ms. Ruan Yan, please respect yourself."
Ruan Yan felt guilty and whispered, "Brother Pei Shi, you are so fierce..."
Lu Peishi snorted coldly and turned away decisively.
"Brother Pei Shi, I just caught a cold, and the virus isn't very contagious yet. Remember to drink plenty of hot water when you get home..."
Looking at his cold and ruthless back, Ruan Yan felt disappointed.
After all this effort, a sneeze ruins everything.
All the efforts were in vain.
Who is unlucky like her!
