Judging from Ye Jing's cold and aloof appearance, it's really hard to imagine that such a man would like sweet and cloying foods.
This was something Liuyin remembered unintentionally.
Ye Jing choked up, weakly reaching out to take the pastry, her eyes filled with sorrow.
He had been rushing to get somewhere these days, and because of that dream the night before, he hadn't had a good night's sleep in a long time. His eyes were dark and bluish-black, and he looked somewhat listless.
He just sat there, staring at the pastry.
Ye Jing didn't speak, and Liu Yin didn't urge him either. She slowly poured herself a cup of tea to accompany the dessert, which would help cut through the richness.
After a long silence, Ye Jing suddenly asked, "Will we ever see her again?"
The "we" here naturally refers to Ye Jing and his wife.
Liu Yin shook her head. "No."
Ye Jing rubbed his index finger together slightly, then asked, "How did you get here?"
"Because she doesn't want to live." Nor does she want to do it all over again.
Liu Yin spoke clearly, and as soon as she finished speaking, she saw Ye Jing's face turn pale and his eyes darken.
Compared to when he first met Ye Jing, he now seems more like a father who has lost his spirit.
After all, he now feels guilty towards his deceased daughter.
......
Ye Jing did not stay at the Xie residence that night, but instead returned to the inn.
Xie Nanzhou was unaware of the matter between Liu Yin and Ye Jing. Although he was somewhat puzzled as to why Liu Yin did not stay at home, he did not ask any further questions.
But when Xie Nanzhou heard the next day that Ye Jing and Su Jinyu had both stayed at the inn, even he, as composed as he was, couldn't help but feel a little restless.
"Are they not satisfied with me?" Xie Nanzhou's tone was unusually disappointed.
He swore to God that he truly wanted to marry Liuyin and would never have any second thoughts in the future.
Although Xie Nanzhou had noticed from Liu Yin and Ye Jing's interactions that the two were not actually close, he didn't think much of it.
After all, he never imagined that his parents-in-law wouldn't come to visit as their wedding date approached.
Xie Nanzhou didn't think he was so outstanding that the two of them didn't criticize him at all; he still vividly remembered Ye Jing's attitude back then.
Neither of them came, and Xie Nanzhou could only conclude that they were not actually satisfied with him.
Liu Yin chuckled softly upon hearing this, squeezing his hand while leaning on his shoulder. "What? So my Xie family head actually cares about these things?"
She always thought that Xie Nanzhou never cared about other people's opinions, which could be seen from his behavior.
Xie Nanzhou looked down at her, carefully examining the expression on Liu Yin's face. He breathed a sigh of relief when he realized that she did not seem sad.
"I'm fine," the man paused for a moment, "but I'm a little worried about you."
Liu Yin is physically weak and sensitive, and Xie Nanzhou is worried that Ye Jing's situation will affect her.
The doctor also said that in addition to resting, we also need to take care of Liu Yin's emotions. Xie Nanzhou did not want this matter to make Liu Yin sad.
Especially as their wedding date approached.
"What do I have to worry about?" Liu Yin fiddled with his fingers, her eyelashes drooping unintentionally. From Xie Nanzhou's angle, it was impossible to tell anything.
The man could only see the slightly upturned corners of her lips, which were a deep red.
Xie Nanzhou felt that Liu Yin was probably wearing lip rouge today, as her Adam's apple bobbed unconsciously. He was familiar with the color, having tasted it a few times before.
It tasted sweet. However, he couldn't tell whether the sweetness came from the lip balm or something else.
Liu Yin was still speaking haltingly, "Have there been any other guests visiting the manor recently?"
"I feel like there are more and more people here." It's also getting a bit noisy.
Xie Nanzhou's hand slowly moved down from Liu Yin's shoulder, his gaze landing on her neck. "Yes, I invited some guests."
He said in a hoarse voice, "If they don't like it, I'll tell them not to come this way."
