"Because you are not distant with me, I like that you are not distant with me." Zhou Jiyun said softly, and suddenly put his hands on Xie Jing's waist and picked her up from the dressing table.
He even gave Xie Jing a helping hand when she was struggling to stand: "You are Mrs. Zhou. As long as you don't use my name to break the law or do anything immoral, you can do whatever you want."
Xie Jing's heartstrings were deeply touched by Zhou Jiyun's words. From childhood to adulthood, this was the first time someone spoke to her in such a clear attitude, telling her to just move forward and that he would take care of the rest.
Now Xie Jing couldn't tell whether Zhou Jiyun was just putting on an act or was he really saying this from the bottom of his heart? If he was just putting on an act, there was no need for him to do this since they were the only two people in the room.
But if it was true, then why did he do this? She and Zhou Jiyun had only met twice. Why did he suddenly change so much when he was so cold before?
Xie Jing couldn't figure it out, and she didn't want to waste her brain cells. Some things didn't need to be answered right away; if she gave it time, the truth would slowly come out.
If a man likes you, he will take the initiative to approach you and open his heart to you. All she needs to do is to guard her feelings before that and remain unchanged in the face of all changes.
"Let's go, don't let grandpa wait for us." After sorting out her thoughts, Xie Jing was the first to walk out the door. Although it was an arranged marriage, Xie Jing had no intention of being inferior to Zhou Jiyun.
The Xie family is the Xie family, and she is her. The Xie family members who have received benefits have to bow their heads, but she did not take a penny of the benefits given by the Zhou family. She used them all to fill the holes of the Xie family. Therefore, Xie Jing has always maintained this equal attitude in front of Zhou Jiyun.
As for the gifts from Zhou Jiyun and Old Man Zhou, Xie Jing accepted them calmly. They were gifts to their wives and granddaughters-in-law, not to the eldest daughter of the Xie family, so she didn't feel guilty about it.
In some ways, Xie Jing is a very proud and aloof person. She keeps things very clearly separated, because by doing so, she avoids arguing too much.
But what Zhou Jiyun needed was for Xie Jing to be like him. If the distinction between husband and wife was too clear, the relationship would become distant. Now that Xie Jing was using Zhou Jiyun's name to deal with her relatives from her mother's side, Zhou Jiyun was particularly happy.
He took two quick steps to catch up with Xie Jing. When he turned the bedroom handle, the four groomsmen who were standing outside with their ears pressed against the door all stood up straight in embarrassment.
Yu Linjun said without hesitation: "No, Third Brother, are you that fast?"
"Third brother, that's not what I meant..."
Realizing he had said the wrong thing, Yu Linjun panicked and quickly tried to make amends: "Third brother, it's not that urgent..."
Being anxious makes it easier for him to make mistakes. Yu Linjun's main strategy now is to let his mouth run ahead while his brain chases behind, but no matter how hard he tries, he can't catch up.
Cheng Qinghe covered Yu Linjun's mouth with his hand: "Shut up! Third brother, how dare you make fun of me?"
Xu Yize smiled and tried to smooth things over: "Isn't this because Third Brother and Third Sister-in-law have a good relationship? Haha, we are happy for you..."
Seeing the awkward expressions of several people frantically trying to make up for it, Xie Jing couldn't help but laugh. Zhou Jiyun took her hand and looked at her sideways: "Do you understand?"
Xie Jing smiled and said, "The Internet is a great thing. I've taken biology classes, too. And many literary classics don't shy away from discussing sex. It's a very normal thing."
“If the author isn’t embarrassed, why should I, as a reader, be embarrassed?”
Zhou Jiyun pushed his glasses and suddenly whispered, "You make me look ignorant when you say that."
Xie Jing raised her eyebrows. Zhou Jiyun's words were full of hidden meaning. Why did he seem like a virgin? Didn't he have a first love before? Had he never experienced it? It was understandable that she was emotionally immature, but Zhou Jiyun...
Xie Jing's eyes inevitably turned downwards. Zhou Jiyun held her chin with his left hand at the right moment, and said with a half-smile, "Where are you looking?"
Xie Jing curled her lips: "I said it was a conditioned reflex, do you believe it?"
"I believe you. I believe everything you say." Zhou Jiyun touched her forehead affectionately, then straightened Xie Jing's head and quickened his pace: "We really need to hurry over."
Xie Jing was immediately diverted from the topic: "You were the one who delayed me first..."
"Okay, I was wrong..."
Zhou Jiyun walked away with Xie Jing, and Yu Linjun came back to his senses at this time: "No, did I hear it right? Third brother..."
"Where's Third Brother?" Cheng Qinghe elbowed him. "Hurry up and catch up. If you don't behave yourself tonight, are you really expecting Third Brother to free up his hands to deal with you?"
"That won't do," Yu Linjun ran after him, "I've figured it out. I have to hold on tightly to Third Sister-in-law's thighs. With Third Sister-in-law here, she'll definitely keep me safe. This is more effective than praying to the gods."
"Laughing bastard!"
"Flatterer!"
"Wait for me!"
"Xiao Linzi knows how to cling to others and always makes the right choice."
A few people entered the elevator, jokingly. Just as the elevator door closed, a slender figure appeared from the corner. He straightened the tail of his suit and entered another elevator.
The evening wedding banquet was a complete buffet, and compared to the luncheon wedding banquet, the dinner was undoubtedly more free-flowing. After following Zhou Jiyun to meet the wives of the CEOs, Xie Jing felt like her face was about to freeze from smiling.
It wasn't until around ten o'clock that the guests gradually dispersed. Xie Jing held Zhou Jiyun's arm and stood at the door of the banquet hall, saying goodbye to the guests one by one, silently praying that it would be over quickly. She felt that everything had been kept simple, so why was she still so tired?
Liu Limin, Xie Xuerong, and Xie Wuyang stayed until the end. After all, they were the bride's family and had to leave with the groom's family. Now that the guests had left, Liu Limin gathered her shawl.
Xie Jing tensed up as soon as she saw Liu Limin; she knew the socializing was about to begin. It was quite ironic to think that she had to use the term "socializing" with her own mother; it seemed particularly inhumane.
"Jingjing, it's getting late. Mom and dad are going back first. Mom and dad really can't bear to leave you. You will belong to another family from now on." Liu Liming patted the back of Xie Jing's hand, and everyone could see the reluctance on her face.
Xie Jing rolled her eyes inwardly. Was he really that reluctant to let her go and push her out for a marriage? It was all just a show.
Therefore, the corners of Xie Jing's lips only curled up slightly: "I will miss you too. Please be careful on the road. Has Dad's driver arrived yet?"
Xie Xuerong burped. "The driver is in the parking lot. You don't need us to worry about you. You...you and Jiyun should just live well and manage your lives well. That's better than anything else."
"Come back when you have time. If Jiyun treats you badly, just tell me."
Xie Jing said gently, "I know, Dad, you've had too much to drink. Let me take you to the parking lot."
