Romance
The man threw the coat that was draped over his arm to the ground, raised his clenched fists and strode towards him.
Ye Yuanyin stood in the middle, blocking Chen Yan'an behind him. "Tell me what you want to say."
"Get out of the way!" You Jing rudely brushed her aside and angrily said, "When have you ever taken my warnings to heart?"
The stubborn girl came over from the side again, eager to protect him.
"I've already said that I will pay you back."
"Do I care about your few dirty dollars? Do you think I have so much free time that I'm pestering you every day just to collect debts?" You Jing's eyes were red and he gritted his teeth. "Ye Yuanyin, ask your conscience, can you afford to pay me back what you owe me?"
It was as if a layer of dust fell from the sky, landing on her face and stinging her eyes. "It's been six years... I've had enough of my conscience."
You Jing looked at her weakly and desperately, his anger mixed with a hint of panic. "Are you determined to draw a line between you and me?"
"Huh," Chen Yan suddenly sneered, reaching out to push away the girl who had been blocking his way, and asked, "Shouldn't we draw a clear line? She's married."
"Fuck married!" You Jing said sarcastically, his voice dark. "Who are you trying to fool? Have you known her for even a day? How come you didn't like her before, but you do now?"
Chen Yan smiled indifferently: "Yes, I just fell in love with him suddenly."
You Jing was furious. "Shan Xi'an, have some dignity. You Manshan married your dad, that's her business. If you have any opinions, don't come to me to seek attention, okay?"
The wind and snow gathered on his face, and Chen Jing was in a low mood, like the darkest moment when a storm is about to come.
He slowly raised his head and sneered, "Chenchen Xiadu is ten years old now. What sense of existence do I need to find? If you have any opinions, please don't touch my woman, okay?"
"Fuck!" Resentment poured out. He was the one who knew her first, and he was the one who liked her first, so how did she become his woman? This world is really fucking crazy.
You Jing kicked over a trash can on the side of the road and accused him loudly, "You're the one trying to steal my girl!"
Zhou You and Zheng Yi rushed over, each holding one side, and quickly pulled them apart.
You Jing vigorously shook off the two men's grip and was about to attack again. Zheng Yi had no choice but to grab him by the waist.
The crowd of onlookers grew larger and larger, and they were inevitably pointing and talking.
Ye Yuanyin covered his exposed wound, his voice weak and pleading. "Can you please stop making trouble?"
You Jing said cruelly, "Okay, come here. Apologize to me like you have done countless times before."
Sweeping over her by the man's overwhelming emotions, she was already ready to give up on herself.
Ye Yuanyin moved his feet and walked towards him.
Chen Yan pulled her back and glanced in the direction of the car with a cold expression: "Go wait in the car."
You Jingqiang broke free from Zheng Yi's grip and yelled angrily, "Ye Yuanyin, you dare to leave?"
Zheng Yi was thrown off balance, feeling incredibly annoyed. If he weren't a childhood friend, he wouldn't have bothered with him. This fucking artist was just so willful and reckless, willing to die for a woman. He couldn't even get a moment of peace.
He held You Jing back again.
Chen Yan looked at Ye Yuanyin, his cold eyes covering him. He stuffed the car keys into his hand and said, "Go."
His entire body was shrouded in an indelible blackness, and a strong sense of oppression came over him. Ye Yuanyin left as he wished.
You Jing wanted to make trouble, but Chen Dian took the initiative to walk towards him, and the situation between the two became tense again.
Just now only one person was emotional, but now both of them are no longer calm.
Zheng Yi is going crazy.
A savage and cruel smile crept up on his face, and there was a darkness in his eyes that swallowed up all light. "Do you really want You Manshan to die?"
"Stop threatening me, was I raised to be scared?"
"Don't believe it?"
You Jing's heart trembled. He was once again overpowered in terms of momentum. He still acted arrogantly: "You dare?"
Chen Dian saw through him, sneered, and turned away.
You Jing hated You Manshan. She was about the same age as them, but she gave birth to a child with a man who could be her father, but they didn't even have a marriage certificate.
It would make him unable to raise his head in front of Shen Ji'an forever.

On the way back, Chen Di'an didn't say a word.
Ye Yuanyin was feeling uneasy. She was testing him: "Do you still owe me a meal? When are you going to eat?"
A thin layer of frost covered his jade-like face. "It's better for you not to say anything."
"……Why?"
"It doesn't look that smart."
Shame lashed her sensitive heart like a whip dipped in salt water. Ye Yuanyin knew that he was dissatisfied with the reason why they got married in the first place.
"That time—I didn't mean to show up."
"I know." His indifferent and distant eyes finally looked at her. "No matter who it is, as long as they have a similar education, a clean family background, and are young and beautiful, they can stand beside me. You are certainly not the only choice, but I have to bear the consequences."
She tilted her head towards the car window, and a rainbow flashed by outside. No one knew that her heart was bleeding.
"sorry."
"What's there to apologize for? You and I are like time bombs tied together. It's better to keep your distance."
Chen Yanan looked up at the time on the car's dashboard and said calmly, "Call Aunt Yang and ask her to prepare dinner for you."
After arriving home, he went back to his room and was never seen again.
Ye Yuanyin sat alone at the dining table, holding a spoon in his hand and a bowl of golden millet porridge in front of him.
"Millet porridge nourishes the stomach," said Aunt Yang. "Man is like iron, and rice is like steel. If you skip a meal, you'll feel hungry. Just because you're young, you can't neglect your body."
A line of tears fell and she cried.
The relationship that had just begun to thaw seemed to have returned to square one. Aunt Yang couldn't understand why the two people who had been hugging each other tightly just a few days ago were like strangers today?
She didn't say much, just stuck to the point: "How can you eat like this? Be careful or you'll get indigestion."
She wiped away her tears, smiled good-naturedly and said, "I will change."

Extraordinary flowers will still be delivered as usual.
The only good news was that Special Assistant Wang called personally to discuss the contract signing time, and Liu Ying's face finally brightened up.
But everyone will still isolate her.
Ye Yuanyin goes to work alone, goes home alone, works overtime alone, and stays alone after returning home. He gradually gets used to it.
Only on Friday night, when Chen Dixia was picked up from school, did there become some noise in the house.
"Grandma, I don't want to visit the museum. Those things are so boring."
Before going to bed that night, Aunt Yang helped her find clothes for the autumn outing. The little girl sat on the sofa in the room, tied a bow on Teddy's head, and stroked its hair on the forehead while saying, "Grandma, did you know that the most precious treasure in the museum was donated by my grandfather?"
Aunt Yang is old and has a lot of things to do at home, so when she talks to her, her conversation is always rambling. "Yes, it's really amazing."
Chen Yinxia couldn't remember how many times she had picked up her phone and put it down again. She asked dejectedly, "Why hasn't Mom called me yet?"
Suddenly, Teddy broke free from her hands, jumped down, ran to the door and wagged its tail. Ye Yuanyin came in with a book.
At least someone came to look after the child, and Aunt Yang put away the clothes and left quickly.
Chen Yanxia wasn't very interested in reading. Looking at Ye Yuanyin's plain, homely clothes, she commented, "The one he wore when he went to Grandpa's house looked better."
Don’t be obsessed with clothes that are too beautiful, as it’s easy to lose your ambition.
Ye Yuanyin asked, "Are you still studying tonight? If not, I'll leave."
Loneliness is like a moon with a missing corner in the sky. It may be bright, but you can see it with your eyes, yet you always feel regret. Chen Yanxia is very lonely. In this respect alone, she is no different from the other children in her hometown, Jiutao Village.
"If you want to leave, why don't you just not come! You're here and you want to leave now, who wants you to be so kind?"
Ye Yuanyin heard the anger in her words and said with a smile, "I think I'd better read it." Then he couldn't help but warn her, "Don't laugh at me with Gatsby again."
"No way?" Chen Yinxia said stubbornly, "I was complimenting you on being able to take down my brother."
She smiled wryly and looked up. On the bedside table was a photo of her and her friends. The five girls were wearing haute couture dresses, their bodies as plump and gorgeous as cherries.
After all, they are two different worlds.
When I finished reading and came out of the room, Chen Dian was walking up the stairs.
He was wearing a black suit and a black shirt, and his tie had been taken off and was held in his hand.
A string of teardrop-shaped light strips hung in the corridor, and the dim, green light fell on his handsome features. His face had many overly prominent advantages.
Ye Yuanyin mustered up the courage to greet him.
"In the evening—" The word "good" was stuck in his throat, and he walked past her without looking away.
The bedroom door was pushed open, and she only had time to see half of his back before the door was closed again.
Ye Yuanyin slowly turned his head and thought, yes, it’s better not to say anything.
