Romance
Looking at her thin and haggard appearance, Chen Yan was unsure what she was thinking, but from her tense posture, he could clearly sense her emotional decline.
"It's raining so hard, let's stop at the service area ahead for a while before continuing."
Secretary Ma nodded in agreement, the car stopped, and he left on his own.
Sediment turned to look at the little girl sitting next to him and asked, "Do you want to go out for some fresh air?"
Ye Yuanyin's heart warmed when she heard his gentle and caring voice, and she couldn't help crying. She moved, and her mouth pulled her cheek, and the wound that had just healed from biting her lip opened again.
Yan Chen thought for a moment, reached out and gently patted her back, saying, "Don't cry, or it will hurt again."
It would have been fine if he hadn't said it, but once he did, her tears started to fall even harder.
Chen Yan'an's heart softened, and he coaxed her, "Look at grandma. She's the only one who makes others cry. Who dares to make her cry? Didn't she say you're most like her? You have to become like her in the future."
Because he was closer, he saw the kiss marks on her neck again, and his heart sank. He thought that judging from You Jing's determined attitude towards her, she must have been bullied.
"Are you feeling better now?"
Ye Yuanyin finally spoke, looking at him with tears in her eyes, "I'm not good, I'm very angry." Tears fell, and she emphasized it again with grievance, "I'm really angry, but there's nothing I can do."
Sedimentary An felt pity for her, but also found her childishness amusing. "How about I help you get revenge?"
"Not good." Ye Yuanyin said, "I'm not angry because I resent him."
Chen Dian is a thoughtful and cautious person. It is difficult for him to reveal his true thoughts when others do not express their opinions clearly. However, the girl in front of him always does not play by the rules.
"That sounds a bit complicated."
"It's not complicated at all," Ye Yuanyin looked into his calm eyes and said, "You think too much, so you always think that everyone has hidden meanings like you. Nothing happened between him and me tonight, and even if it did, I wouldn't feel ashamed of losing my virginity."
She pursed her lips and continued, "I'm angry because in this marriage, I can't give you anything. Loyalty is the only thing I can offer you. But because I'm too weak, I could lose it at any time."
Chen Yan suddenly raised his eyes, his heart suffered a critical blow comparable to the moon hitting the earth. The simple words came out of her mouth so bluntly, making his usual complicated thoughts seem ridiculous and unnecessary.
"Everyone has their own origins and history," he said, because he has a clear understanding of gender relations. "I don't care about that."
"You still don't understand," Ye Yuanyin said in frustration, "I have no money, no identity, no status. I don't have any of these things that come easily to you. But I still greedily hope that you can understand me..."
He raised his hand to his mouth and coughed, temporarily easing the panicked thoughts of being surrounded and blocked. This kind of conversation was already akin to a frank confrontation.
He had fully understood the message the girl wanted to convey to him. She separated her body and soul, and even though she was in a quagmire, she still hoped that her lofty soul could be seen and respected.
Staring at her gentle yet stubborn face, Chen Yan said meaningfully, "Xiao Ye, you really do look like grandma."

Secretary Ma stood outside like an isolated island, wandering around in the rain, wondering if the boss had coaxed the person.
He didn't dare open the car door, so he had to go back into the supermarket in the service area.
Originally, he was sent by Dian Dian to the county to scout ahead, and the meeting went smoothly. When leaving, Ji Quan asked Liu Ying to send another official car from the branch to pick up Dian Dian, and she followed the driver of the car back to Jiutao Village first.
When he went to pick her up, Zhou Youshi said that she had been taken away by You Jing and her whereabouts were unknown. The boss's face instantly darkened. Later, he called You Manshan and found her before things got worse.
Secretary Ma's phone vibrated. It was Ji Quan calling, so he picked up the phone.
Ji Quan asked: "What time is it? Why haven't you come back yet?"
Secretary Ma said, "I just received someone and am about to go back."
"So late?" Ji Quan was stunned for a moment and asked, "What happened to her?"
Secretary Ma remained tight-lipped and said, "Nothing serious, he just looked a little frightened."
Ji Quan said nothing more. She was a person who kept her distance. She had remembered that Ye Yuanyin hadn't taken advantage of her misfortune in the car that morning. She had taken the initiative to leave in the afternoon, considering it as a repayment of her favor. From then on, they were no longer in debt.

The next day, the rain had stopped.
The sky is clear and the days are warm in late spring.
Ye Yuanyin got up very early and accompanied his mother in the kitchen.
Aunt Long asked curiously, "Why did you come back so late yesterday?"
"Nothing. I took a ride there. He was already late after the meeting."
"Why are your eyes swollen?"
"I was watching a drama and cried."
"What a sin!" Aunt Long said disdainfully, "If you have this much time, why don't you work hard on your studies?"
"Okay, Mom, stop swearing."
"Go wake Yaya and Zhizhi up to eat. They'll be late for school." Aunt Long looked up at the second floor and said, "Call Mr. Shen down as well."
Ye Yuanyin hesitated but did not move his feet.
A lot of things happened to her last night. Because of her huge emotional fluctuations, she seemed to have said some things that she shouldn't have said... Then she was tired of crying, and once she relaxed, she leaned on him and fell asleep unknowingly, and didn't even know how to get back to the room.
Aunt Long urged her, "Go quickly."
"I know."
She walked up the stairs to the second floor. Yaya was helping Zhizhi put on her clothes. When she saw her, she wondered, "Sister, why are you still here?"
She was confused by the question. "Where else can we go if not here?"
"Aunt Lin from Uncle Fu's family said that married people go on a honeymoon. You and Uncle were not here last night, and I thought you were out."
"That's not true. Don't listen to her nonsense."
Yandi An had already woken up and walked out of the room. He saw her leaning against the door and talking to the twins. Yaya saw him and asked directly through the window: "Uncle, are you going on your honeymoon?"
Yan Chen held onto the window with both hands, glanced at Ye Yuanyin with a smile, and said, "Ask her."
Ye Yuanyin felt ashamed when he suddenly saw him, so he subconsciously reached out and lowered the bamboo curtain inside the window.
Her vision was suddenly blocked, and Chen Yan turned to the door. She rushed over and quickly closed the door.
He pulled it from the outside, and she quickly twisted the door knocker to prevent him from opening it. The two of them pulled back and forth a few times, and Yaya chuckled, "Are you playing hide-and-seek?"
Zhizhi was also happy, with her eyes wide open, her mouth open, and occasionally making a few sharp and short cries.
Yaya raised her fist and cheered her on rhythmically, "Come on, sister! Come on, sister!"
Ye Yuan raised his index finger in embarrassment and said "hush" in front of his mouth.
Just like that, she relaxed, and Chen Yan exerted force on her hands, and she was dragged over. Ye Yuanyin lay in front of him, his face purple from holding back.
Yaya covered her own eyes with one hand and her brother's eyes with the other, and shouted exaggeratedly: "Hey, did you kiss?"
Ye Yuanyin's hair was like countless small, soft hands, constantly caressing Shen Ji'an's cheeks and neck. He lowered his head and saw her face, which was as angry and resentful as the morning glow.
Ye Yuanyin pushed him away and took two quick steps towards him, "Hurry up and get up to eat, you'll be late!"
Wang Yaya and Wang Zhizhi laughed and were driven downstairs by her like little ducks.

Near noon, an unexpected guest came to the house.
Shen Meiyue came to Jiutao Village carrying her luggage.
Yan Dian didn't understand why someone who couldn't bear to leave the city's prosperity and convenience would come to a place like this. "What's your trick?"
"Brother, please don't be so heartless, okay?" Shen Meiyue looked at Ye Yuanyin with her bright eyes, excitedly grabbed her hand, and said angrily, "Xiao Ye, how come I've never heard that the scenery in your hometown is so beautiful!"
Ye Yuanyin was also wondering if she could maintain this enthusiasm for three minutes?
Yan Dian rudely drove her away, "Don't delay our work."
"Tsk," Shen Meiyue cursed him in her heart, unconvinced, "Why are you the only one who comes to work? I'm here for work too, okay?"
In recent years, the Shen Group has targeted the domestic agricultural product market, signing agreements with the rapidly emerging Rural Revitalization Colleges across various provinces, deploying a certain number of livestreamers to rural areas each year. The supermarket run by her aunt, Shen Lianxing, was undergoing a transformation, and Shen Meiyue saw the opportunity. Thinking her class was often sparse, she volunteered to lead the team.
Sediment asked again, "Where do you live?"
"I booked a five-star hotel in City Z," Shen Meiyue stroked her freshly finished manicure. "I need to take care of my skin every day, so I had to make the trek back and forth between the city and the countryside."
It's really extravagant.
Sediment scoffed, "The driver should be the one feeling wronged."
"How annoying!" Shen Meiyue yelled at Ye Yuanyin, "How can you stand him?"
Aunt Long just came out of the house to call people for dinner. Shen Meiyue was very familiar with her and extended her hand to greet her with a smile. "Aunt, hello! It's our first time meeting. Grandma asked me to bring you some gifts."
Aunt Long was wondering who this fashionable young lady was when Shen Meiyue had already run out, twisting her body like a butterfly.
"Ajing, please help me move the things in."
Ye Yuanyin and Shen Ji'an looked at each other. Who would have thought that the person who walked in the next second was You Jing.
He slowly walked to the center of the vortex, his peach blossom eyes falling on Ye Yuanyin, but he said to Aunt Long, "I should have come to see you a long time ago, but I never had the chance."
Aunt Long cast a puzzled look at her daughter.
Before she could explain, Shen Meiyue had already taken You Jing's arm and said happily, "Auntie, let me introduce you, this is my boyfriend You Jing."
Ye Yuanyin looked at his nonchalant smile and his heart sank into an endless abyss.
