Seeing Xie Jing showing such a lively expression for the first time, Zhou Jiyun was in a very good mood. He put his forehead close to Xie Jing's, almost touching their noses. "I was wrong for not telling you in advance. Jingjing, can you forgive me?"
He moved suddenly and was so close to Xie Jing that Xie Jing could even feel his breath, which was so gentle and soft on her cheek. Xie Jing's ears turned red unconsciously, and her eyes became a little vague. She looked at the sky, the earth, and all around, but not at Zhou Jiyun.
She had an ex-boyfriend, but even after dating for several years, she and him had never been this close. The most intimate thing they had done together was kissing each other. Now that Zhou Jiyun was suddenly so close to her, Xie Jing couldn't resist.
But after seeing the stunned expressions of the groomsmen behind Zhou Jiyun, Xie Jing quickly retracted her gaze. She grabbed Zhou Jiyun's clothes with her left hand, but the next second she felt it was inappropriate. She stroked Zhou Jiyun's shoulders again, trying to smooth out the wrinkles she had caused. Then she said softly, "I'm not angry, it's just too sudden."
She raised her eyes to look at Zhou Jiyun, her gaze not evading, and repeated seriously: "I don't get angry that easily."
Zhou Jiyun felt Xie Jing's gentle movements and stared at her expression. His eyes were so deep that it seemed as if he could see through Xie Jing completely. He saw the shyness beneath Xie Jing's forced composure, and also understood that she explained so seriously because she was worried that he would misunderstand her as having an unstable and irritable personality.
Thinking of Xie Jing being so cautious, Zhou Jiyun felt a little sad. He breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly curled his lips slightly: "I'll remember, I'll tell you in advance next time."
Xie Jing said "hmm" softly, and Zhou Jiyun strode out of the Xie family's living room with her in his arms. The four groomsmen looked at each other, and the smarter one quickly put away Xie Jing's dowry on the coffee table, and trotted after Zhou Jiyun with his bank card and real estate certificate in his arms.
When they walked out of the villa gate, the driver had already cleverly opened the back door. Zhou Jiyun carefully placed Xie Jing in the car and then walked around to the other side to get in.
The groomsmen who followed out looked at each other, and after getting into their respective cars, they started chatting crazily in the group.
Yu Linjun, not the Imperial Guards: [What's going on? Is Third Brother so proactive? Does he value Third Sister-in-law so much?]
Chu Yue: [Same confusion as above. I thought Third Brother was just putting on an act, but now it seems he wants to get married first and then fall in love?]
Xu Yize: [Look at how scared he made Third Sister-in-law. Looking at Third Brother's behavior, there's only one word to describe it - coquettish.]
Cheng Qinghe: [@Xu Yi Ze, you know how to describe it. Third sister-in-law was indeed frightened just now.]
Yu Linjun, not the Imperial Guards: [Third sister-in-law has a really good temper. Her ears were red just now. But the Xie family is so unrefined. They didn't even invite any relatives to their eldest daughter's wedding.]
Chu Yue: [Isn't it said that the eldest daughter of the Xie family doesn't like socializing? I guess she's not valued at home.]
Cheng Qinghe: [If your family values you, why would they only prepare such a small amount of jewelry? I can see it all, it's all so petty.]
It's Yu Linjun, not the Imperial Guards: [Think about it, Third Sister-in-law is quite pitiful. Xie Wuyang tried to trip her up right in front of her, and her own mother didn't even speak up for her.]
Xu Yize: [Didn't Third Brother come back to make amends? Do you think Third Brother is doing this out of concern for Third Sister-in-law, or is he trying to save his own face?]
Yu Linjun, not the Imperial Guards: [It must be the former. Third Sister-in-law has such a good temper! She's so beautiful and has such a good personality. Why didn't I think of a marriage alliance?]
Zhou Jiyun lowered his eyes to look at the dozens of messages in the group chat. When he saw this one, he couldn't help but frown. He tapped twice on his phone: [@是喻林君非御林军 Your third sister-in-law and I are married. It's too late for you to regret it. ]
The group fell silent, and Zhou Jiyun put away his phone with satisfaction. Unbeknownst to him, in another group, everyone had already started complaining about him, embodying the principle of "five people, eight groups."
Yu Linjun, not the Imperial Guards: [Why didn't I know Third Brother was so jealous before? Is this still the Third Brother we knew?]
Xu Yize: [I find it strange that you say that. Third Brother basically didn't get involved in the wedding planning process, leaving it all to the wedding company. It was only since the day before yesterday that Third Brother suddenly became incredibly involved. Not only did he urgently order a wedding dress from abroad, he even requested a complete redecoration of the wedding venue.]
Chu Yue: [Third brother took the wrong medicine. He took Third Sister-in-law's Ecstasy.]
Cheng Qinghe: [Maybe you're thinking about getting married and wanting to live a good life with your partner?]
Regardless of everyone's speculation, Zhou Jiyun was in a very good mood. Looking at Xie Jing sitting beside him, Zhou Jiyun took out a few exquisite snacks from the car's small refrigerator and said, "Would you like to eat something first? There are still many things to do at the wedding banquet, and lunch will probably be around one o'clock."
As soon as he brought up the topic, Xie Jing couldn't help but touch her stomach. Since she was awakened by a nightmare this morning, she had only drunk a glass of honey water. She was really hungry now.
Looking at the snacks again, each one is small and delicate. If she handles them carefully, it shouldn't ruin her makeup... right?
Seeing Xie Jing's expression, which showed that she was somewhat interested but also worried about ruining her makeup, Zhou Jiyun knew what she was thinking.
She simply stuffed the snack into Xie Jing's hand and said, "My aunt made these walnut cookies. I made them a little smaller so they won't mess up your makeup. How do you like them? I also have some walnut soy milk. My aunt put a little sugar in it."
Xie Jing looked at Zhou Jiyun in surprise: "How do you know I like walnut-flavored food?"
To be honest, Xie Jing was quite surprised today. She was not surprised that Zhou Jiyun knew her body size, nor was she surprised that he knew her birthday, nor was she surprised that he knew her favorite food tastes, because these could be found out with a little inquiry.
What really surprised Xie Jing was why Zhou Jiyun did this? Why did he protect her in the Xie family? Why did he take care of her so much? She thought the marriage between the two was a very rational one.
Zhou Jiyun pushed up his glasses, which had slid down a bit. "These aren't even considered top secrets. Do I know this is weird?"
Xie Jing was a little distressed, but because of the driver and bodyguard driving in front, she couldn't explain it too clearly. She could only hold the snack box and eat the walnut cakes carefully prepared by her aunt.
Zhou Jiyun pinched his fingers, his eyes darkening as he watched Xie Jing's expression from the corner of his eye. In fact, from the moment he saw Xie Jing, he had used up all his self-control to restrain himself from hugging her.
Now seeing Xie Jing sitting quietly beside him, Zhou Jiyun felt particularly happy just looking at her.
Slow down, even slower, don't scare her. Zhou Jiyun warned himself. In Xie Jing's eyes, he was just a stranger for marriage. You two are not that close yet. If you act rashly, you will scare her.
Just like just now, wasn't she scared?
