"You want to leave the house, is there something wrong?"
After asking, Xiao Yan regretted it.
Would Chen Yao find it strange that he asked this out of the blue? But he had already asked...
When Chen Yao heard Xiao Yan asking her about leaving the house, her eyes suddenly flashed and a tentative idea came to her mind.
So, she smiled and said to Xiao Yan: "General, I am leaving the house to see Nanny Song's nephew. I want to ask him for help with something."
Nanny Song’s nephew?
Xiao Yan had an impression of him. He had seen him come to the mansion to see Nanny Song.
only……
He remembered that Nanny Song seemed to have mentioned inadvertently that her nephew had not married for seven or eight years after he came of age, which was a headache for the family.
so……
Nanny Song asked Chen Yao to meet her nephew. Is it possible that... she has some other intentions?
Thinking of this, Xiao Yan frowned.
He blurted out without thinking: "Mrs. Shen, are you planning to meet a stranger alone?"
Chen Yao was surprised. What was Xiao Yan doing...?
"General, I'm not going alone. I'll go with Nanny Song." She said seriously.
However, after hearing such an answer, Xiao Yan's frown still did not relax.
Then, his tone changed again: “Nanny Shen, I have some impression of Nanny Song’s nephew.
He looks quite decent, but he is quite good at talking.
When listening to him, one needs to carefully discern the truth from the falsehood.”
Chen Yao: ???
Xiao Yan continued, "How about you and Nanny Song stay at home and invite him in to talk and drink tea? How about that?"
Chen Yao:!!!
The corners of her mouth twitched, and she laughed dryly: "General, there's no need to bother. We can meet at the teahouse outside and call it a day after we've finished our business."
Xiao Yan was silent, his eyes looking elsewhere, his fingers tapping the table again and again, not knowing what he was thinking.
Chen Yao picked up the cleaned dishes again and was about to leave——
Xiao Yan seemed to have made a decision and spoke again: "Nanny Chen, if... I mean if, that man has any other ideas about you, please don't agree to him, okay?"
Chen Yao was very surprised and looked at Xiao Yan in shock. Did he already know something?
"General...why do you suddenly say that?" she asked tentatively.
Xiao Yan raised his eyes to look at her, the look in his eyes was unclear, "Nanny Shen, he is not suitable for you."
Chen Yao paused, lowered her eyes, and said nothing.
Xiao Yan said seriously, "If you want to get married, I will help you find someone who is more suitable for you than him. Do you believe it?"
Chen Yao clenched her fingers slightly, her eyes fixed on Xiao Yan, and said lightly: "General, what kind of person do you think is more suitable for me?"
Xiao Yan was silent, as if he was stumped by Chen Yao's question. He pursed his lips and said nothing.
Chen Yao smiled, but the smile did not reach her eyes. She said, "Thank you for your concern, General. I appreciate your kindness."
Then she silently picked up all the things, nodded to Xiao Yan, and walked out of the room.
After she left——
Xiao Yan finally loosened his tightly clenched hands and let out a long breath.
Was he crazy just now?
Almost...
I almost told Shen Yao that he was more suitable...
Xiao Yan rubbed his eyebrows helplessly, unable to figure out the source of the impulse that had been surging in his heart just now.
Also, why does he care so much about Chen Yao meeting other men?
even……
I even wish she wouldn't go...
Xiao Yan couldn't understand why he had so many complicated emotions towards Chen Yao.
At this moment, he was full of thoughts and his heart was no longer calm.
*
After Chen Yao had a simple lunch, she left the house with Nanny Song.
Since Nanny Song had already greeted her nephew in advance, they just had to go to the agreed meeting place.
The place where I agreed to meet him was a teahouse with private rooms. It was not far from the general's mansion and could be reached in about ten minutes' walk.
When Nanny Song brought Chen Yao in, her nephew was already waiting for them in the private room. It seemed that he had been waiting for quite a while.
As soon as he saw them come in, he immediately stood up, greeted them with a smile, and said, "Aunt, Miss Shen, you are here, please take a seat."
Nanny Song smiled and pulled Chen Yao to sit down.
Nanny Song's nephew first poured tea for them all, and then introduced himself: "Miss Shen, my name is Song Zhaoyun, nice to meet you."
Chen Yao responded politely: "Hello, Brother Song, my name is Chen Yao."
Next, they quickly got to the point.
Chen Yao told him the location, size, layout and orientation of the small house she wanted, and asked him about the corresponding price.
She also asked about the current leasing market for shops.
Song Zhaoyun answered every question she asked very professionally. After several conversations, she knew that he was a reliable broker.
Therefore, there was an atmosphere of pleasant conversation among them.
But the situation was different for Xiao Yan in the general's mansion.
At the same time, Xiao Yan leaned on the bed, looked at Chen An, who had just come back from work and had a chance to take a breath and rest, and said lightly: "Come and help me get out of bed. I want to see if I can walk more smoothly with a cane now."
Chen An:!!!
What a sin!
Can't you just give him a break?
He reminded him, "Master, the doctor said that you should try not to get out of bed except for necessary activities like going to the toilet. This will help you get better faster."
Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows and said, "You don't understand. I have to get out of bed now and practice walking with a cane."
Chen An was worried: "But the doctor said that you must rest well for a while first."
Just as Xiao Yan was about to speak, he heard Chen An's voice in a melancholy voice: "Master, if you don't rest well, you might develop a serious illness. Have you forgotten our neighbor, Uncle Zhao?"
Zhao Bo?
Xiao Yan vaguely remembered a former neighbor. It seemed that his wife, Aunt Zhao, would often angrily nag him: something like, "You didn't take good care of yourself when you were young, and look at you now."
It turns out that if you don’t take good care of your health, your wife will be angry and nagging you when you get old?
Thinking of this, Xiao Yan felt his heart tighten inexplicably, and he stopped trying to get out of bed.
Chen An breathed a sigh of relief after seeing this. His grandfather was sometimes really like a child.
Xiao Yan readjusted his posture and said to Chen An, "During this period of time, please keep an eye on me and see if I'm not recovering well. Remember to remind me at any time."
Chen An was stunned and replied "OK".
