Chapter 296: Sister-in-law, I want to talk to you alone
Normally, the new daughter-in-law should cook for the whole family the next day. Aunt Zhang specifically reminded Xu Xiaoyue of this.
Xu Xiaoyue stretched and when she opened her eyes it was already dawn. She touched the side and found that the remaining warmth in the quilt was gone.
She sat up from the bed with her head covered. After a while, she began to tilt her head from side to side and looked like she was about to fall asleep again.
Yan Ye came in from outside and saw that she was still sleepy and yawning continuously.
"Why did you get up?"
The man looked at his watch. It was not yet eight o'clock. Usually, Xu Xiaoyue would sleep until ten o'clock before she was willing to get up from bed.
Xu Xiaoyue narrowed her eyes and asked, "Aren't you going to cook?"
Although she will move to the army later and will no longer live with the Yan family, the new daughter-in-law should at least show her appreciation on this first day.
Yan Ye raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect that she still remembered this.
"Just sleep peacefully." He rubbed Xu Xiaoyue's head and soothed her in a gentle tone.
The Yan family has no shortage of servants, and they would certainly not let a pregnant woman cook with a big belly.
Xu Xiaoyue was already feeling sleepy, and when she heard what Yan Ye said, she immediately lay down in the quilt again, closed her eyes and fell asleep.
I slept so comfortably that I turned over and buried my head in the quilt.
Yan Ye laughed and pulled the quilt to expose her head.
After doing all this, he took a shower and left the room.
The Yan family members were already seated at the dinner table. Yan Jianguo was reading a newspaper while Aunt Wang was busy in the kitchen.
Liu Ye heard the footsteps and looked upstairs. When she saw Yan Ye, she subconsciously looked behind the man.
"Where's Xiaoyue?"
Yan Shuli raised his head, his eyes were dark and dark, and he cast a gloomy gaze at Yan Ye. He pursed his lips and called him "uncle".
"She was tired yesterday." Yan Ye said simply.
Liu Ye shrank her fingers and was about to say something when Yan Jianguo beside her raised his eyelids and retracted his gaze from the newspaper. "Then let Wang Ma make one when she wakes up."
Seeing that Yan Jianguo had said this, Liu Ye swallowed back the words that were about to come out of her throat.
It must be said that Xu Xiaoyue is lucky.
After marrying into the Yan family and getting pregnant, she didn't have a mother-in-law to look after her. In addition, Yan Ye protected her like his own baby, so even if she slept until ten in the morning, she, as his sister-in-law, couldn't say anything.
It was already past eight o'clock when Yan Jianguo and Liu Ye finished their meal. They both had to go to work, so they left without further delay.
When Xu Xiaoyue woke up again, it was already ten o'clock.
The sun shone through the soft window, making the room bright.
Half a year ago, Yan Ye's bedroom was still in a cold style of gray, white and black. Now the curtains are cream pink, the sofa has been changed to the light yellow that Xu Xiaoyue likes, and the pillow she bought from the department store makes it look a little warmer.
Although she could only stay at Yan's house for a few days, Xu Xiaoyue had prepared it with great care.
She turned over and went to the closet. The clothes were neatly hung from light to dark, Yan Ye's on the left and hers on the right.
Although it is divided like this, overall, Xu Xiaoyue's clothes occupy three quarters of the wardrobe.
Xu Xiaoyue has a lot of clothes, not only did she buy them herself, but most of them were bought for her by Yan Ye.
Xu Xiaoyue never corrected Yan Ye about this advantage of men spending money. Almost every time the season changed, he would buy several sets of clothes to wear.
After changing her clothes, Xu Xiaoyue wiped her face and tidied her hair before finally deciding to go downstairs.
Yan Shuli sat on the sofa, and his eyes couldn't help but look upstairs.
Yan Ye put down the cup in his hand, raised his eyelids and glanced at the man opposite him, "Don't you have to go to school today?"
"Yes, I'm taking a day off today."
Yan Shuli tilted his head, avoiding the look in Yan Ye's eyes.
Yan Shuli took a special leave today. He didn't know how long Xu Xiaoyue would stay at the Yan family, and he didn't want to miss any opportunity.
Aunt Wang brought the tea and put it on the coffee table. She looked at the two of them and felt that there was an unusual atmosphere in the air.
Yan Shuli's face was tense, and his whole body seemed to be on a string.
Needless to say, Yan Ye had a cold face and gave off an aura that said "keep away from strangers".
If Wang Ma hadn't known that these two were uncle and nephew, she would have thought they were enemies meeting.
Mother Wang thought about it carefully and realized that the two of them had been in this state since the last time Yan Ye came home.
Xu Xiaoyue stepped down from the stairs, "Why didn't you call me!"
Her tone was a little delicate, and she thought Yan Ye was the only one at home, but she turned around and met Yan Shuli's gloomy gaze.
The man's dark eyes were heavy, carrying an emotion that she couldn't understand. He looked straight at her, a little fierce and with a sense of inexplicable grievance.
Xu Xiaoyue took a step back and her first reaction was whether Yan Shuli had lost his brain.
It was fine that he always looked at her with a scheming look in the past, but what was going on now?
When Yan Ye saw Xu Xiaoyue looking at the man next to her, a chill appeared on his originally gloomy face. He took a few steps forward, blocking the line of sight of the two people meeting in mid-air.
"It's not too late now, have some breakfast, Aunt Wang has warmed it for you."
Yan Ye held Xu Xiaoyue's hand and walked towards the dining table.
Xu Xiaoyue withdrew her gaze and for a moment felt that Yan Shuli looked strange.
Just as I walked to the dining table and hadn't even sat down, Yan Shuli stood up from the sofa and said, "I have something to tell you."
He said this from a distance not far away, and Xu Xiaoyue heard it clearly.
She let go of Yan Ye's hand and motioned for him to come over.
Yan Ye didn't say anything, just looked down at her.
"Go ahead."
Xu Xiaoyue urged the man in a low voice. Although she disliked Yan Shuli, she was his sister-in-law now after all, so she was not so petty as to stop the two from talking.
Unexpectedly, the next second, Yan Shuli's words came again, "Sister-in-law, I want to talk to you."
When Yan Shuli called himself "sister-in-law", his tone was so reluctant as if someone had put a knife to his neck and forced him to shout it out.
Xu Xiaoyue got goosebumps all of a sudden. She now really suspected that Yan Shuli had experienced something unusual during this period of time, which burned out his brain.
"Are you going?"
Now, it was Yan Ye's turn to ask her.
The man's tone was very low. Xu Xiaoyue heard some gnashing of teeth in the short two words and was very displeased.
Xu Xiaoyue turned around and bit her lip. "If you have anything to say, just say it here."
Talking alone with Yan Ye's nephew in front of him, not to mention that he was her former marriage partner, Xu Xiaoyue felt that she was responsible for her relationship and loyal to her partner, so there was no way she would agree to it.
Besides, she didn't believe that Yan Shuli could say anything good to her.
Judging from how much he disliked her, the words he would say when he opened his mouth would most likely be things she didn't want to hear.
Xu Xiaoyue never does anything that would bring humiliation upon herself.
Before she could figure out how to reject Yan Shuli, the man continued, "I just want to ask why you suddenly hate me so much and want to cancel the engagement since you came to the capital."
"Did you know something in advance?"
Yan Shuli stared straight at Xu Xiaoyue, as if he wanted to see something from her face.
Xu Xiaoyue's heart sank. Noticing the gazes of the two people around her, she clenched her fingers and said, "I don't know what you are talking about."
"I was the one who wanted to cancel the engagement in the beginning, but isn't this what you wanted?"
