Chapter 122: Don't Play with Fire
Hu Hongyan was taken away on the spot, and those who were waiting to watch the fun did not dare to stay any longer.
Just looking at how Yan Ye acted when he was angry, several young wives who were originally whispering to each other quickly shut up and went back home.
Zheng Jiaojiao followed behind Liu Ye, but looked at Xu Xiaoyue from time to time.
The scene was chaotic just now and everyone was busy watching the fun. Only she noticed Yan Ye and Xu Xiaoyue.
To be precise, Zheng Jiaojiao was the first to notice Yan Ye.
But the man's eyes were always looking towards Xu Xiaoyue, even when Hu Hongyan suddenly pushed Xu Xiaoyue.
Yan Ye was the first to notice it and quickly helped the man up.
Zheng Jiaojiao had not spent much time with Yan Ye, but she had heard Yan Shuli talk about his uncle several times.
No matter how you look at it, the man doesn't seem like someone who would be kind enough to keep an eye on his nephew's fiancée.
Thinking about it this way, Zheng Jiaojiao remembered many small details that she had not noticed before.
The day they came back from the hospital, Xu Xiaoyue had just arrived home for a short while when Yan Ye came back.
Xu Xiaoyue didn't return to the room, so the two of them might have come into contact at that time!
Zheng Jiaojiao felt extremely anxious just thinking about this.
She was clearly there that day, and what's more, Yan Ye clearly had a good impression of her before.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have given myself a notebook.
Thinking back to the time when she was hospitalized for cutting her wrists, the man even came to the hospital to visit her.
Xu Xiaoyue had already noticed Zheng Jiaojiao's obvious gaze.
She let the woman look her up and down for a long while before she turned around to meet Zheng Jiaojiao's gradually distorted expression.
Xu Xiaoyue pursed her lips and simply made a face at the person.
Zheng Jiaojiao's expression froze, her fingernails almost leaving marks on her palms, "Don't be so proud."
She scolded, not moderating her voice at all, causing Willow Leaf in front of her to turn around and look at the two of them.
Zheng Jiaojiao walked forward and grabbed Liu Ye's hand. Before she could say anything, the corners of her eyes turned red and her voice became tearful as if she was about to complain.
As early as the moment Liu Ye turned around, Xu Xiaoyue's expression had changed, and she looked as if she didn't understand.
Liu Ye had already been exhausted physically and mentally by Hu Hongyan's affairs, so she had no time to listen to her complaints.
"Alright, everyone, behave yourself. Right now, the entire compound is watching the Yan family. If you want to make trouble, you have to choose the right time."
After she said this, she went upstairs without looking back, obviously looking like she didn't want to be disturbed.
After hearing this, Zheng Jiaojiao was so angry that her eyes went dark.
Liu Ye had already gone upstairs. She stared at Xu Xiaoyue with eyes that seemed to be about to burst into anger. "I'm telling you, Yan Ye is mine!"
Xu Xiaoyue couldn't help laughing when she declared her sovereignty like this.
Originally, she always wanted to stay away from Zheng Jiaojiao, for fear that she, a small cannon fodder, would be affected by the twists and turns between the male and female protagonists.
After spending some time together, Xu Xiaoyue felt that Zheng Jiaojiao was not so scary after all. Apart from her bluffing, she also stole orders and used Yan Shuli to isolate her.
She never seemed to get anything done.
Perhaps for Zheng Jiaojiao, the greatest honor is that she snatched her "fiancé" Yan Shuli.
Xu Xiaoyue no longer cared about this nominal "fiancé".
She was too lazy to argue with this man and turned to go to the kitchen.
It was dinner time, but Yan Ye still hadn't come back.
Since Yan Jianguo was on a business trip these two days, there were only four people at the table.
Because of what happened during the day, everyone was silent. Zheng Jiaojiao also sat down quietly to eat, which was rare for her, and didn't make any more trouble.
After dinner, Zheng Jiaojiao ran upstairs and locked the door.
She did it on purpose. It didn't have any harmful effect, but as long as it could annoy Xu Xiaoyue, she would be happy.
How could Xu Xiaoyue not see through this little trick? She didn't go to Liu Ye to talk about it. She squatted in the bathroom alone and washed the clothes she had taken off during the day.
The sound of water splashing could be heard in the bathroom, and Xu Xiaoyue was busy rubbing clothes.
She left the door half open and didn't notice the living room door opening silently.
When Yan Ye walked in, the first thing he noticed was the light on in the bathroom. He looked up at the watch on his wrist.
The hour hand pointed to eleven o'clock exactly.
It's already late at night, and the only one who hasn't gone to bed yet is probably Xu Xiaoyue.
He tugged at his collar, unbuttoned the top two buttons, and then stepped forward.
"Are you still doing laundry at this hour?"
A sudden voice came from behind her. Xu Xiaoyue was so scared that she trembled all over. She turned her head and looked at the man with wide eyes.
"You gave me a fright."
There was still fear in the distinct black and white almond-shaped eyes, and Yan Ye's depressed mood after a day suddenly dissipated a little.
"Washing clothes at this hour, are you a snail girl who has turned into a spirit?"
As he spoke, he squatted down, took the clothes from the girl's hand and put them in the basin, then took her hand and washed the foam off her hands under the faucet.
Xu Xiaoyue had been taking cold showers for most of the day, and her hands and feet were now icy cold. Only after Yan Ye held her hands did she realize how cold she was.
Yan Ye's face was stern. After washing his hands, he casually picked up a towel and wiped off the water droplets.
"You don't take your own health seriously. You just recovered from your illness a few days ago, and now you want to be hospitalized again, right?"
When he said this, his face was sullen and his tone was not very good. His dark eyes were fixed on the basin of clothes, as if he was looking at something troublesome.
Xu Xiaoyue twisted her hands, trying to pull her hand back from the man.
She knew Yan Ye was doing this for her own good, but the man's didactic tone still made her feel uncomfortable.
She's always meddling in this and that, and is even more nosy than her father.
Seeing the reluctance on Xu Xiaoyue's face, Yan Ye suppressed his emotions and said, "Go sit there."
He asked someone to sit down, then squatted down again, pretending to take out the clothes in the basin to wash again.
"No, no, just leave it there. I'll get up and wash it tomorrow."
Xu Xiaoyue couldn't sit still any longer and hurried forward to stop the people.
She was washing her own underwear, so how could she let Yan Ye do it?
But Yan Ye seemed not to understand the meaning of her words and had already picked up a small piece of clothing in his hand.
The pink and tender little dress was placed in the man's hand. It was such a small piece that it seemed like it could be torn apart in just a few rubs.
Yan Ye didn't react at first what it was, and his hands moved faster than his brain and started to scrub.
He turned around and met Xu Xiaoyue's hopeless expression, then lowered his head and looked at her carefully.
The tips of his ears turned red silently.
"Okay, it's just a few pieces of clothing. It can be washed in a few minutes."
He pretended to be calm and interrupted Xu Xiaoyue's actions, then lowered his head and started washing with a focused look.
If she ignored the strawberry-patterned shorts in the man's hand, Xu Xiaoyue would almost think that he was doing some experiment.
Fortunately, Yan Ye was very quick and he rinsed it carefully three times and finished the job in less than five minutes.
After hanging up the clothes, he turned his head and looked at Xu Xiaoyue, who was sitting on the chair, covering herself with a blanket so that only her little head was exposed.
His eyes softened and he stroked the little woman's dark hair with his large palm.
"Come on, I'll take you upstairs."
"If you don't go to bed at this hour, you might not grow taller."
He walked behind, lecturing people in a low voice, and his muttering made him sound like an elder.
Xu Xiaoyue walked to the door of the room and pressed the handle with her hand, "It can't be opened."
Yan Ye went forward and turned the key, and found that the door was indeed closed.
"What's going on?"
He frowned.
Xu Xiaoyue lowered her head and smiled secretly. She had known that Zheng Jiaojiao had closed the door on purpose for Yan Ye to see.
"Uncle, what should I do? The door is closed."
"I'm so sleepy and want to sleep. Can I go to your room?"
The girl spoke coquettishly and stretched out her hand to draw circles on the man's chest, which was very suggestive.
Sure enough, the man's eyes darkened and his Adam's apple rolled up and down.
“Don’t play with fire.”
