Chapter 58 [1, 2 updates]

He didn't expect Shen Yuntang to come so soon. He didn't tell her that someone was there today, so he was speechless for a moment.

In the original plot, Xie Yunting was kicked out of the spare tire because Yan Jinyao's family asked for a favor, which caused Wen Yanyan's misunderstanding. I didn't expect that it is still like this now. Because of Yan Jinyao's family, he may face the situation of being suspected by Shen Yuntang.

but……

Shen Yuntang should be different from Wen Yanyan.

Xie Yunting smiled slightly.

If Yan Jinyao met her, she might never want to show off at his house again in her life.

I don't know if this is in line with the plot.

Xie Yunting tapped the steering wheel lightly.

When Shen Yuntang arrived, the yard was brightly lit.

It looks quite elegant from the outside. Through the courtyard wall, you can see several colorful letter balloons spelling out a bunch of words on the wall, and you can also see lights scanning.

Even high laughter was heard.

I didn't expect Xie Yunting to hold a party of this style. It was completely different from his teahouse, but at least it had nothing to do with it.

It is true that you cannot judge a book by its cover.

She rang the call bell.

The people in the yard were chatting happily because the host Yan Jinyao had brought people in for a visit, so no one dared to open the bell when they heard it.

Everyone looked at each other for a while, and then someone who was familiar with Yan Jinyao stood up and took a look.

I only saw that she was a very beautiful woman.

She felt that he looked familiar for a moment, but couldn't remember where she had seen him, so she thought he was a friend invited by Yan Jinyao who was late.

She asked across the intercom: "Are you Jinyao's friend?"

The woman raised her eyebrows. "Whose friend?"

The people inside were stunned for a moment.

"I'm here to see Xie Yunting." Shen Yuntang said expressionlessly, "Let him open the door."

The people inside were stunned.

What kind of person is this? What kind of tone is this? Are they not qualified to open the door? Do they need the owner of the house to open it?

Besides, it was late at night, and a young and beautiful woman came to see Xie Yunting, which was not right. As Yan Jinyao's friend, she was still alert for her and immediately said, "Wait a moment... I'll ask the host."

Shen Yuntang raised his chin.

Xie Yunting is not ready to welcome her?

She called again.

"Ms. Shen?" Xie Yunting was parking the car and asked as he opened the car door: "Have you arrived yet?"

"We are here," Shen Yuntang said, "but we can't get in."

Xie Yunting was silent.

"I'll be there soon, just wait a moment." He sounded very apologetic.

What kind of party is this? The owner of the house isn’t even at home?

Shen Yuntang just waited outside the door for a while.

After all, Yan Jinyao and Xie Yunting were not that close yet, so she didn't dare to look around. For example, she certainly wouldn't dare to open the doors of places like the study and bedroom, but she could still take a look at the public areas on the first floor.

Xie Yunting's designs are all open spaces, with very few walls or doors used as partitions. They all rely on hollow cabinets, ornaments or screen-like partitions, so they hardly encounter any obstacles.

After walking around the entire first floor, my friend couldn't help but envy: "This house is so beautiful. When my new house is delivered, I will also find a designer to do the same."

"This set is not cheap." Yan Jinyao said, "I heard that the cost of decoration is almost comparable to the price of buying a house, and maintenance is also expensive."

"Only families like yours can afford it." Others were envious, "Your fiancé's family is really rich."

"It's okay." Yan Jinyao smiled, "He is still quite low-key. I like his low-key attitude."

As they talked, they walked to the last space. This place was the same as the places they had walked through before, but it looked like it was used for writing and drawing, and there was a table in the corner.

Yan Jinyao knew that Xie Yunting had been a designer for many years, so it was understandable that he still kept the habit of writing and drawing.

There is nothing important on the desktop, just some tools to assist in drawing.

Yan Jinyao took a quick glance and knew it was safe to watch, so she introduced: "This is the studio where he develops his hobby. Doesn't he like designing clothes? He has designed many famous works in the past. When he was the chief designer of ST, superstars from all over the world competed to borrow his dresses."

"Oh my God, he's so versatile. Can't you wear the dress he designed when you get married?"

Yan Jinyao couldn't help but feel her ears getting hot and said, "I don't know if he has the time."

Even though she said that, to her friends it sounded like she would do it, and she was just being modest.

After hearing that Xie Yunting had been the chief designer, they all became interested, and some even wanted to try flipping through the tools on the desk.

Yan Jinyao immediately stopped him and said, "You can't touch that! He will be unhappy."

Only then did the friend stop trying to help.

But even though one person stopped, someone else over there couldn't hold back his curiosity and kept looking around, touching this and looking at that.

Yan Jinyao felt a little uncomfortable when she looked at them.

Originally, he just wanted to show them the decoration of the house. As long as they didn't touch these things, Xie Yunting wouldn't find out when he came back. But now, they couldn't control their hands and even wanted to touch those things that he often used.

Yan Jinyao stopped one person, and then someone else started touching everywhere. She became anxious and wanted to stop them and tell them to leave, but that would make her seem less confident than the host. Which host would get angry because a guest touched a decoration?

After all, she was still afraid that Xie Yunting would come back and find that his things in the house had been moved, and he would be dissatisfied with her.

Borrowing the yard was already a bit risky, and if this continues, what if he gets unhappy?

Yan Jinyao was anxious but didn't know how to stop them. Just when she was about to tell them that dinner was almost ready outside, a friend suddenly said "Huh".

"There seems to be something behind this curtain, Jinyao, do you see it? There is a skirt hem."

The startled friend squatted on the ground and picked up a piece of material, saying in surprise, "It looks quite expensive, Jinyao, this can't be..."

The others were also stunned, and suddenly an idea came to them.

How come Xie Yunting, a man who is no longer a designer, has skirts at home?

Then the only possibility is the one they just mentioned.

…He prepared the dresses for their wedding in advance.

These people suddenly became gossipy.

I was able to see a never-before-seen dress by a famous designer in person. Isn't this more upscale than checking in at the Black Pearl Restaurant in a seven-star hotel?

Yan Jinyao was also stunned for a moment. She also thought of this possibility and was a little confused for a moment.

No way?

On the one hand, she felt that Xie Yunting and she were not at that level, but on the other hand, she wondered what if he was just preparing for a rainy day and designed a dress for her no matter who his future wife was?

Xie Yunting seems to be a person of this thoughtful character.

That……

Yan Jinyao felt a little excited for a moment. Although she was afraid that Xie Yunting would notice something was wrong if she continued watching, she was also full of anticipation for what was behind the curtain.

That's a dress designed by ST's chief designer.

How beautiful it would be if it was really used in such an important occasion.

Yan Jinyao was still struggling and hesitating, but the frightened friend had already made the decision for her.

"Let's just take a look quietly! Don't tell anyone! We're all acquaintances now, so they won't tell anyone, right? I'm really curious, so I'll just take a look and won't move, and then I'll pull it up..."

She said this and excitedly pulled open the curtain.

Everyone else was startled by her action, and then realized that there was really a skirt inside.

A skirt that looks so expensive that it makes your scalp tingle.

The moment it came into view, a subconscious shudder ran down the back of everyone who saw it.

So eye-catching.

There is no other adjective, it is just eye-catching. Although the color is not eye-catching, it is the black fabric that looks blue-purple when the light flows, but its aura is so strong that people can only stare at it and cannot get close.

Who can wear a skirt like this and not be overwhelmed by it?

When this skirt is worn, one can only notice its design and material, and cannot see the wearer's face at all.

If it were a little bland, it wouldn't be able to hold up to its aura.

Is this the private work that ST's chief designer created for an important occasion in his life?

If they had seen this dress somewhere else, they would have been completely shocked the moment the person wearing it came out.

Now their minds are full of -

Yan Jinyao is so damn happy, how could she deserve this?

How could Xie Yunting be so attentive? With such a grand ceremony, is he going to let others live?

Although they still felt a little strange in their hearts, as such colors and styles did not seem suitable for a wedding, no one could be sure whether others liked this style.

In the end, they could only say with great envy: "Your fiancé is so nice. He treats you so well. I am so jealous."

"This dress will be on the news by then, right? Oh my god, this is the first time I've witnessed this kind of love."

"Are there any top single designers out there? Can you introduce me to one?"

Amid their envious discussions, Yan Jinyao slowly came back to her senses from her shock.

She couldn't believe it.

Even if there was only a one or two percent chance, she couldn't believe that a dress like this made by Xie Yunting would belong to her.

How much thought did this take him?

Is she really that important in Xie Yunting's heart?

Or maybe it’s not her, but just the position of future wife, is it so important in Xie Yunting’s heart?

If he gets married, he will definitely be a very home-loving person.

An inexplicable emotion surged in Yan Jinyao's heart.

She seems likely to become the candidate, at least for now, she is the first candidate.

Even if the dress doesn't belong to her now, no one is more likely to own it than her.

She will always get everything that belongs to Xie Yunting's future wife.

Yan Jinyao gradually became more confident and full of hope for the future.

She is only the owner of this house for a short time today, and the places she can move are limited, but there are endless possibilities in the future.

So Yan Jinyao smiled and said, "He really knows how to create surprises."

After the friends admired her, someone was so greedy that he couldn't help but ask, "Can I touch it? I won't move. I just want to touch the diamonds on the skirt. It looks so beautiful."

"Yes, yes, I want to touch the hem of the skirt, too. The material looks and feels really good."

"I am different. I want to touch the ribbon around my waist..."

It would be petty for Yan Jinyao to refuse after all the noise had gone on, so she hesitated for a moment and said, "You can only touch it lightly, don't use your hands. If you make it dirty or break it, he'll be angry."

My friend nodded quickly: "We understand, we understand. How could we be so harsh with such an important thing? We just touched it lightly."

"Okay then. You must be careful and don't let him find out." Yan Jinyao nodded in agreement and picked up the ribbon on her dress.

Xie Yunting had just unlocked the door and said to Shen Yuntang, "Sorry to have kept you waiting, Miss Shen. Please come in."

There was no expression on Shen Yuntang's face, and it was hard to tell whether he was happy or unhappy.

She entered the entrance hall and said, "Besides clothes, I want to discuss something with you."

"What's up?"

"About what you said last time in the tea room. Something about this world that might not be real."

Xie Yunting paused obviously.

After a moment, he led the way and asked, "Has Miss Shen noticed something?"

"I guess so, but I still have some questions."

As soon as Shen Yuntang finished speaking, he heard another round of cheers and laughter coming from the yard, the noise comparable to that of a barbecue restaurant or pub during the World Cup.

Xie Yunting's hand, which was about to open the next door, hesitated again.

After a moment, he nodded and apologized: "I'm sorry, I didn't tell Miss Shen in advance that there would be guests tonight."

"It's okay. I just came here because I saw there were guests."

Xie Yunting was stunned.

Shen Yuntang had already walked in, and said without turning back, "I like the hustle and bustle."

The yard had completely changed since Xie Yunting left. A group of young people gathered together to play games, while a group of older people were barbecuing by the pool.

Bottles of famous liquor were scattered all over the floor, and the ice bucket was kicked over by someone, leaving water stains all over the floor.

Shen Yuntang paused here.

Xie Yunting followed closely behind and also stopped.

For a moment, I felt like my breathing was a little stagnant.

——It’s almost driving two mysophobes and perfectionists crazy.

The people playing games inside were still discussing: "Jinyao and the others haven't come out yet? I still want to ask her who that person at the door is."

"Can't I call?"

"She didn't bring her cell phone with her, and the house is so big that I didn't dare to look for her."

"None of them brought their cell phones?"

"The main reason is that I'm not familiar with those people, and I don't know how to start the conversation."

"That's true. Yan Jinyao's circle of friends is really wide."

The man who had just said this looked up and wanted to get a bottle of wine to pour himself some, but he saw two people looking at them at the gate of the yard.

...It's just, quite embarrassing.

He immediately withdrew his hand and stood up, tentatively asking, "Who are you?"

After hearing this, several people around turned their heads.

One of them was stunned: "Isn't this the one who was outside the door just now?"

Yan Jinyao's sister-in-law also raised her head and was stunned when she saw it.

She knew both of them.

...Could it be that the person who was locked outside the door just now was Miss Shen???

She suddenly felt that the world had gone crazy.

Because of this little episode, the yard gradually fell into silence, so quiet that even the elders who were chatting and talking noticed something was wrong and looked over.

"Xie Yunting?" Yan Jinyao's father was pleasantly surprised. "Why did you come back early? Oh, let me introduce you to everyone. This guy is Xie Yunting. He is young and promising. He is the rich son-in-law I like. None of you are allowed to snatch him away!"

The others also laughed along, praising his good looks, and awkwardly wondered about the background of the person next to him.

Only now could Xie Yunting finally breathe smoothly.

This group of cannon fodder characters is really unbelievable.

After a moment, he smiled gently and said in a slightly cold tone: "I hope you can make sure not to affect the layout of the house before you borrow someone else's house for a party."

Following his ruthless words, the atmosphere suddenly became cold.

Father Yan didn't expect that he would be humiliated in public.

His old face froze for a moment.

The bluntness of these words was no less than telling them to get out directly, and the relationship revealed in these words was even so unfamiliar that it was shocking.

For a moment, everyone else felt embarrassed for the Yan family.

It's so embarrassing. How could such an embarrassing thing happen? Why did they come to this party? This completely ruined the embarrassment of the whole year.

I originally thought they had a very good relationship, as they borrowed the house to hold parties and took people on tours. This must at least be a done deal, right?

But when the owner of the house came back, his attitude was simply “I didn’t agree”. My goodness, was this all done by the Yan family on their own whim?

Then they are too confident... No, aren't they a little too shameless?

The people who were invited wished they had never been here, and some even wanted to spit out the barbecue they had just eaten. Some even wanted to leave immediately, but when they saw the quiet atmosphere around them, it seemed even more awkward to leave, so everyone had to sit down together in silence.

Father Yan was a seasoned businessman after all, so his face only hurt for a moment, and he quickly laughed out loud, "Oh, I'm sorry, we were so happy that we moved too much, I'm sorry, I'll give them all back to you later, and if there's anything damaged, I'll find you a better one!"

However, Xie Yunting did not take his move.

"There's probably nothing better." He smiled politely, looked at the pile of colorful balloons on the wall, and said, "I hope it can be restored to its original state immediately."

The situation in the yard suddenly became even more awkward.

Father Yan's face had never been so hot in his life.

He was about to say a few more words to save his reputation when he heard Xie Yunting say, "Why is the door inside open? Did someone go in?"

“…”

Everyone of them knew that it was Yan Jinyao who went in.

But how to say this, is it too late to call Yan Jinyao out now?

Father Yan knew without thinking how these people were looking at him. He couldn't hold his face anymore and said forcefully, "After all, we have known each other for so many years. Yun Ting, I think your attitude is a bit too much—"

"This is my house." Xie Yunting said politely, "Please restore it to its original state as soon as possible. No one can decide what it will become except me. I hope you know that not everyone likes others to make trouble in their own home."

Father Yan's face turned pale and blue, and he was still trying to argue. Xie Yunting had already said, "Miss Shen, go in."

Only then did he notice that there was someone standing behind Xie Yunting.

Still a woman.

Father Yan was stunned.

"Yun Ting, she is——"

Before he could finish his words, Shen Yuntang walked in expressionlessly, and Xie Yunting closed the door behind her.

Father Yan: “…”

The looks around him were so profound that he almost wanted to smash his head against the wall and die.

——What mansion? The other party didn’t agree to give it to them to build something fancy. They just borrowed the site or maybe they asked for it forcefully. But this family really thinks they are the masters. They redecorated it and even took people on a tour.

——What a rich son-in-law! He doesn’t even give any face to her. He even treats that strange woman better than them. This must be their family’s unrealistic dream.

They simply couldn't believe that they were witnessing such a brutal slap in the face. When they thought of Yan Jinyao who was visiting the house with people, they started to dig their toes.

This is too bad. What kind of shit did this family do? They are so embarrassed!

Xie Yunting felt something was wrong as soon as he entered the house.

There were traces of a lot of people walking on the carpet, and it didn't look like they were moving in one direction, but rather back and forth.

Looking again at the collections he had displayed, some of them were at different angles, and some were stained with fingerprints.

Xie Yunting has been enduring.

Looking again, the footsteps led to the studio.

Xie Yunting's breathing stagnated.

His throat tightened and he said, "Ms. Shen, wait a moment."

Shen Yuntang glanced at him.

Xie Yunting apologized and walked quickly towards the studio. His heart was beating faster than usual and his fingers were even shaking slightly.

Better not let him see what this idiot is doing.

But he was destined to be disappointed.

As soon as he entered the workshop, he saw a group of people surrounding his unfinished work, pulling and tugging at it.

Yan Jinyao picked up the ribbon and looked at it, saying, "This one is pretty, but it doesn't suit me. Tell Xie Yunting to change the color. I still like light colors."

"Yeah, he didn't even ask you what you think, so he's pretty straight."

"But he's a great designer, he has his own preferences. This is already beautiful. When he modifies it according to your style, you will definitely cause a sensation, Jinyao!"

"Yes, yes, yes. Even the million-dollar wedding dress of the century is not as pretty as yours. What's more, it was designed by your fiancé himself. Who among those people do you think can have this honor?"

"I declare Jin Yao to be the person I envy the most this year."

Yan Jinyao smiled and said, "We haven't even started dating yet, it's too early to talk about it. It would be so embarrassing if we can't succeed."

"How can it not work out? You two are a perfect match, and you have a good relationship now, so why can't it work out?"

"That's hard to say. What if he falls in love with someone else?" Yan Jinyao covered her mouth.

His friends also laughed: "You are really good at telling jokes. I don't know how sad he would be if he heard it."

They were chatting happily and no one noticed someone coming in behind them.

A surge of gloomy anger surged into his heart.

Xie Yunting's fingers felt cold and his eyes looked dark. It was almost the first time in his life that he got angry:

"Get out."

The group of people inside suddenly looked up and stared at him blankly.

When Yan Jinyao heard the voice, she was stunned for a moment, and then became nervous.

Xie Yunting is back?

Her whole body froze, especially after hearing these words, her hands that were touching her dress would not move.

It took her a long while to slowly turn her head, but her mouth was still open.

It's really him.
