The next day.
The fallen leaves on the windowsill curled up listlessly, and the autumn chill quietly dissipated overnight.
That's what winter seems to be like.
It can't compare to the warmth of spring, but it's something we miss dearly in the height of summer.
Sometimes, just like in late autumn, people will unconsciously rummage through their wardrobes to find their warm coats.
Shuyi thoughtfully added a warm coat for her grandfather, and then asked Uncle Wei to stay in the ward to take care of him.
As it was almost time to go to work, Zhang Youye and I left and bumped into Shu Chuanran who was walking towards us.
The young man with ill intentions in front of him was unpleasant to look at, but before Zhang Youye could even open his mouth...
His phone suddenly rang.
I picked it up and saw it was Mr. Xu's phone call.
After walking to the other side and having a brief discussion with Old Xu, Zhang Youye returned to Shu Yi's side with an apologetic expression.
"I need to go back and take another look. This time it won't be too long. I'll come to see you after I've dealt with things over there."
"Then hurry up and go." Nodding, Shu Yi checked the time. "Isn't it still early? You should go now and not keep Grandpa Xu waiting."
He glanced at Shu Chuanran subconsciously, then raised his voice: "Wife, I'll go first. I'll come find you when I'm done. I've already arranged for the car to be in the parking lot. Drive yourself and be careful."
Completely defeated by his inexplicable desire to show off, Shu Yi pushed him forward, her tone quite helpless.
"Alright, I got it. Go on your way, or Grandpa Xu will scold you if you're late."
She watched him leave, turning back every few steps, and even giving Shu Chuanran a warning look before turning away.
With one hand casually in his pocket, Shu Chuanran's expression remained unchanged, and his tone was equally calm.
"Has Second Sister and Right Brother already registered their marriage?" he asked.
Since Zhang Youye would call her "wife" in front of Shu Chuanran, Shu Yi naturally no longer needed to hide it.
"Yes, I received it before the party," she readily agreed.
I don't know if I overestimated my ability to handle it or underestimated my feelings for Shuyi.
Hearing her admit it so openly.
After a moment of distraction, Shu Chuanran couldn't help but feel a pang of bitterness and sorrow in his heart.
He clenched his fist tightly in his pocket, suppressing the surging emotions in his chest, and tried to keep his voice steady as he met her eyes.
“It’s obvious that Brother You loves you very much,” he said.
Shu Yi withdrew her gaze from the ward, smiled faintly, and then walked towards the elevator on the side.
"However, this matter is still a secret, not many people know about it, and I don't want too many people to know about it right now. Chuanran, do you understand what I mean?"
"I understand." Shu Chuanran nodded and assured her, "Second Sister, don't worry, I will keep it a secret."
Shuyi pressed the button for the underground parking garage floor and continued to ask him, "Are you coming to the company with me now?"
Shu Chuanran nodded in agreement, standing close beside her.
“Go ahead, I’m a member of the Shu family after all. Grandpa also told us to go to the company together. Now that my dad is in trouble, someone at the company needs to keep morale high.”
bite--
As they were talking, the elevator doors slowly opened, and they bumped right into the hospital's head.
After welcoming the two important figures outside the elevator into the elevator, the person in charge handed the key to Shu Yi.
"Second Miss, this is the car Young Master Youye prepared for you. He called me and said..."
"What did he say?" Shu Yi asked.
Not knowing how to explain the instructions left by the young master to the person in charge, the person in charge scratched his head and rubbed his trouser legs, looking like he was struggling with something.
She would also glance at Shu Chuanran every now and then.
Judging from his appearance, it's easy to guess what this super jealous guy Zhang Youye was talking about.
Leaning casually against the elevator wall, Shu Chuanran smiled subtly, a hint of emotion finally appearing in his usually calm eyes, though his voice remained flat.
"Don't worry, I'll drive myself. Tell Brother You that I won't ride in Second Sister's car."
Upon hearing this, the person in charge breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had been pardoned from the death penalty, and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
"Yes, yes, Young Master Chuanran, thank you, thank you for understanding me."
The elevator quickly arrived at the underground parking garage. After a polite nod to the manager, Shu Yi stepped out of the elevator.
Following closely beside her, Shu Chuanran shook his head helplessly, his usually indifferent eyebrows curving slightly.
"Second sister, Brother You really loves vinegar."
"I never realized he was such a jealous person." Slowing down, Shu Yi got down to business.
With a slight twitch of her lips and her hands behind her back, Shu Chuanran slowed his pace to be shoulder-width apart from her.
"Right Brother used to be a devil who no one could control. Everyone in Jingnan knew his name. Besides chasing women, he did everything—smoking, fighting, brawling—and even spent time in juvenile detention. With so much dirt on him, Second Sister still likes him?"
This statement is loaded with hidden meaning.
Shu Yi sensitively looked up and met his gaze.
She tried to glean something from his eyes, but he concealed it so well that she couldn't figure it out at all.
"What do you want to say?" she stopped and asked.
Shu Chuanran stopped in sync with her, casually shrugged, and looked away.
"Second sister, don't misunderstand. I'm just curious, with such a bad reputation, what is it about Brother You that you like?"
"Are you really that curious?" Shu Yi asked in return.
"Mm." Shu Chuanran nodded naturally.
How dare this guy speak ill of her husband to her face? What is he up to?
A sense of unease began to creep into her mind, and her gaze remained fixed on his calm, expressionless face. Shu Yi fell silent.
The strange conversation seemed to be interrupted by an inexplicable atmosphere, and the two just stared at each other.
They remained silent for a long time.
beep beep—
The sound of the car being unlocked rang in my ears.
Shu Chuanran looked in the direction of the sound and saw a Bentley Continental GT excitedly flashing its headlights in the distance.
Shu Yi swaggered over the key in front of Shu Chuanran, then tilted her body slightly to the side.
He then slightly raised his chin toward the spot where the Bentley was parked.
With her arms crossed in front of her chest, her eyes were calm, but her tone was full of the same boastful desire as Zhang Youye's.
"That's why I like him."
"See? He just gives away luxury cars worth millions without batting an eye. Nobody's as generous as my husband."
Before Shu Chuanran could speak with a look of surprise, Shu Yi suppressed the darkness in her eyes, turned around and walked straight towards the Bentley.
He left behind his last words as he walked away.
"Don't speak ill of my husband again. I'll only forgive you this once. I'm leaving now. See you at the company."
