Chapter 18 18 It’s Her Loss Not to Marry You
He looked up at the wall clock and calculated that only twenty minutes had passed since she came in.
Kindergarten children should also sleep at this speed.
He put the small bottle of sleeping pills in his hand back into the drawer of the bedside table and lay down on the bed.
Thinking of her so-called method of falling asleep by reading English, I couldn't help but laugh again.
After laughing, she actually felt the tension in the back of her head relieved a lot. After a while, she actually felt sleepy. She didn't know if it was the effect of the sleeping pills or the effect of her joke.
The next day, Wen Yao was woken up by something. She didn't know what hit her knees twice. When she opened her eyes, she saw Jiang Yue standing in front of her, dressed neatly in a suit and tie, looking down at her condescendingly.
"Get up," he said.
Wen Yao was very unhappy when she was woken up, and asked unhappily: "What?"
Jiang Yue continued: "It's already seven o'clock."
Wen Yao suddenly became even angrier, "You woke me up at seven o'clock?"
Jiang Yue: ...
After a long pause, he said coldly, "My mother is here, and our breakfast time is 7:20 in the morning."
"Then go eat with her. It's none of my business!" Wen Yao said in a bad tone because she was in a bad mood. After saying that, she pulled the quilt and prepared to go back to sleep.
Jiang Yue looked at her and took a breath: "She knows that I will never like someone who has no sense of time. This will make her doubt our marriage."
Wen Yao continued to close her eyes and pretend to be dead.
Jiang Yue said slowly: "Do you need me to get a basin of cold water?"
His tone of voice was cold, as if he would really bring a basin of cold water... no, ice water.
Wen Yao irritably threw back the quilt and sat up, her anger rising like a string to her head: "You are so annoying, your mother is so annoying, your whole family is so annoying!"
Jiang Yue didn't answer her, but just looked at her indifferently.
Then she remembered what he said yesterday about changing the sweet plot to a forced one, so she was reluctant in her heart and her body involuntarily got up from the sofa and staggered to the bathroom to wash up.
Jiang Yue was waiting in the room, checking the time from time to time, as if he was counting the seconds.
Wen Yao got up very quickly because she didn't wear makeup, didn't have a complicated skincare routine, and didn't have the same exquisite dressing habits as Jiang Yue. After washing up, she would just find a skirt to put on, comb her hair a few times, and that was it.
It took no more than ten minutes before she was ready to go out in her slippers.
Jiang Yue reminded her: "Put the quilt back."
Wen Yao lowered her head and glanced at the sofa. The quilt was still the same as when she got up, not moved at all.
"You've been standing there for so long, and you don't even do anything?" She thought to herself as she obediently wrapped the quilt into a ball, carried it to the cloakroom, and stuffed it into the cabinet.
Jiang Yue stood tall beside her, his brows furrowed more and more. By the time she finally stuffed the quilt in, his brows had become a ball.
However, he endured it and said nothing. Now he knew that he could not ask for more from her.
Not only that, when the two of them went downstairs and came out of the elevator, the expression on Jiang Yue's face had changed from frowning to gentle. When he saw Huang Qianyi, he smiled and said good morning, looking in a very good mood.
Could it be that he likes actresses? It turns out he is in the same industry as them.
Wen Yao's acting skills were not as superb as his. She could only speak with difficulty and then couldn't help yawning.
Huang Qianyi no longer looked unhappy as before. She looked much calmer. She said good morning to the two of them, then sat down at the table and looked at Jiang Yue and said softly, "I'll go see Xiaowan later. Are you coming?"
When Wen Yao heard Lu Wan's name, her heart was shocked.
At this time, Jiang Yue's calm voice came: "No."
Huang Qianyi said, "You don't have to go. It's not nice for a man to enter a women's ward. But she will be your sister-in-law after all, so you still have to be friendly to her for the sake of appearances."
"Well, I'll let the driver take you there later." Jiang Yue didn't know if he had heard it or not, and didn't continue the conversation.
Huang Qianyi knew that he must be feeling bad, and she also knew that he would definitely not go.
She just mentioned this person on purpose.
Until now, she still cannot accept that her son would marry a woman he met on the street.
Of course he would be angry and embarrassed if Lu Wan broke off the engagement, but based on her understanding of her son, he would never get married out of spite. That would be too childish and not a decision he would make.
But he said nothing, and she could not think of any other reason to explain his behavior.
So she just wanted to poke them, stir up some trouble, and see if there would be any movement.
It was natural for Jiang Yue not to see Lu Wan, but his attitude seemed too calm. If he really loved Wen Yao, he would have shown some dissatisfaction when he heard her deliberately mention Lu Wan, right?
Just as she was pondering this, Wen Yao, who had been silent the entire time, suddenly spoke, her tone eager and even a hint of excitement: "Mom, can you take me with you? I want to go see Miss Lu, too."
Huang Qianyi looked at her in surprise.
Her eyes were shining and her expression was full of anticipation. The excitement seemed real.
So she knew Lu Wan, but did she really know the relationship between Lu Wan and Jiang Yue?
Huang Qianyi looked at Jiang Yue across the table in confusion, hoping to find some clues from her son.
Jiang Yue turned to look at Wen Yao. His tone was calm, seemingly concerned, but there was a warning in his eyes: "What are you going to do?"
Wen Yao immediately said, "After all, she's our sister-in-law, and now she's injured and in the hospital, so we should show some courtesy. It's definitely not convenient for you to go, so isn't it just right for me to go?"
Wen Yao has a motherly love and pride for her male and female protagonists. She now has a strong and enthusiastic feeling of recognizing her relatives, so this kind of visit is imperative.
Therefore, she gained enough courage and was no longer afraid of Jiang Yue's threats.
Jiang Yue knew very well what she was planning and didn't want her to go, but he couldn't say much in front of his mother.
He just stared at Wen Yao, warning her with his eyes to stop and not play tricks.
But Wen Yao did not give in. She looked back at him, as if to say that she must go.
Finally, Jiang Yue said in a deep voice: "When she and Jiang Lin get married, you will meet each other eventually."
Wen Yao played dumb and asked him, "Are you afraid that I'll be embarrassed to see her?"
Then he continued, "I'm not afraid of embarrassment, so why are you afraid? And I honestly think it's her loss if she doesn't marry you. She should be the one who's embarrassed. Don't worry about me."
At the end, they still looked like they were showing affection.
Jiang Yue was unable to speak for a long while, but he could not help but clench the chopsticks in his hand.
At this time, Huang Qianyi said: "Then you can come with me. With such a relationship, it would be nice to go and see her."
His mother had spoken, and Jiang Yue didn't know what to say, and he had no reason to insist on opposing it.
Jiang Yue remained silent, which was considered as his agreement.
Wen Yao was now happy, and she smiled broadly at Huang Qianyi: "Thank you, Mom. I'm glad to have you. I'll go with you later."
Huang Qianyi forced a slight smile on her face, looked at her, and glanced at Jiang Yue.
Although she found her son's attitude strange, it was still within the normal range. However, she was very puzzled by Wen Yao's attitude.
There was only one explanation for her wanting to see Lu Wan so much, and that was jealousy and wanting to see what Jiang Yue's ex-fiancée looked like.
But why did she look so excited and expectant?
It doesn't feel like meeting a love rival, but more like meeting a good sister.
