"Master Yan's sleep condition has never been good."
Old Liu gently pushed out the mobile dining table, closed the door to the inner room, and whispered to Yu Nian.
"I often suffer from insomnia. Even when I am asleep, I wake up when there is some movement."
Yu Nian admired Lao Liu's words, "If you have insomnia, you will wake up when there is some movement." Then he subconsciously turned his head and glanced at the inner room. I don't think he has any sleep disturbance, and I didn't wake him up just now.
Old Liu saw her doubts and quickly explained, "Young Master Yan hasn't had a good sleep since he woke up. It may be because he was too sleepy, so he fell asleep in broad daylight. Or maybe..."
He hesitated for a moment and looked at Yu Nian.
Yu Nian was surprised by him, and thought that it was really puzzling that such a straight man like Lao Liu was hesitant to have sex. "Or what?"
Old Liu said, "Maybe it's because Miss Yu is here."
This made Yu Nian laugh, "I didn't know I was a hypnotist. Do you mean I'm boring?"
Old Liu repeatedly said no, "Being able to fall asleep in front of Miss Yu means that Master Yan is not defensive about you."
Yu Nian was surprised, "I just stabbed you Master Yan once, are you not afraid that I will hit you again? There is a fruit knife in the house."
Even if he doesn't risk his life, there is still a chance that he will bleed more.
Old Liu said softly, "It doesn't matter whether I'm afraid or not. As long as Mr. Yan is not afraid, otherwise I wouldn't be able to fall asleep in front of you and sleep so soundly."
Yu Nian was silent.
She thought carefully about the times she was with him before. Because they were all special events, she didn't know whether he fell asleep or not. Every time, she was too tired and fell asleep first.
"You just said that he didn't sleep much after he woke up. Why?"
This ward is quite private and quiet, making it perfect for rest.
Old Liu informed, "It was the old lady who brought Miss Mora to the ward. With Miss Mora here, Young Master Yan can't sleep and doesn't want to sleep."
Yu Nian heard Lao Liu mention this matter before. When he heard what he said today, he was stunned for a moment. With Maura here, why don't you want to sleep at the Jiangnian Banquet?
When Old Liu saw her expression was different, he immediately reacted and explained blindly, "No, no, Miss Yu, don't think too much about it, Mr. Yan has nothing to do with Miss Moura, and that's not what I meant."
He paused and spoke, "What I mean is that Miss Maura has been running to the ward these two days. Master Yan will not sleep as long as there is someone sitting next to him. Even if Miss Maura advises him to rest, he will just close his eyes." My eyes are focused, but actually I just don’t want to talk to Miss Mora anymore.”
Yu Nian said oh.
Seeing this, Old Liu hesitated and said, "Miss Yu, you don't believe it, do you?"
Yu Nian laughed at the question, "Does it matter whether I believe it or not? Miss Maura is Young Master Yan's fiancée. Young Master Yan can't stay awake forever."
Lao Liu was silent, opening and closing his mouth, and said nothing for a long time.
Yu Nian asked Lao Liu, "Has the wedding date been set?"
"ah?"
"The wedding date of Master Yan and Miss Maura."
Lao Liu shook his head, "I don't know much about this."
Yu Nian said oh again.
No matter when they get engaged, they have to make an appointment anyway. She needs to mention this to Jiang Nianyan. She can't be entangled in it when he is already engaged.
Thinking of this, Yu Nian wondered whether he was being sentimental. If she was just an insignificant bed partner in Jiang Nianyan's heart, how could he give an explanation? I would laugh at her for overestimating her abilities.
Isn't his purpose just to trample her dignity into the dirt?
Before leaving, Old Liu hesitated and said, "Miss Yu, actually I think... Master Yan doesn't want to get engaged."
Yu Nian was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled, "Then what? I can't help him escape from the marriage."

Si Tingye really couldn't sit still and quickly called Yu Nian.
At that time, Yu Nian looked at the unfamiliar number displayed on the phone screen and had a vague hunch. After the call was connected, it turned out to be Si Tingye.
Yu Nian had never had any dealings with Si Tingye before, or even met him face to face. When the phone was first connected, Yu Nian was really beguiled by the voice on the other end of the phone.
Si Tingye's voice is not as deep as Si Tingyuan's, and his voice is younger than Si Tingyuan's. It is very energetic and does not make people wary at first glance.
He was not annoying when he spoke and was polite. He told her that the Yu family has always been an important partner of the Si family. Now that the Yu family is in trouble, I wonder if Miss Yu needs help from the Si family. Feel free to ask if needed.
He extended an olive branch first, but he seemed to be easier to get along with than Si Tingyuan.
Yu Nian thanked her repeatedly on the phone, saying that the current situation of the Yu family was equivalent to starting over. The Si family did not dislike her and expressed their deep gratitude on behalf of the Yu family. He also said that the Yu family has a lot of chores at present, and I don’t want to bother Mr. Si for a while. If I need Mr. Si’s help in the future, I hope Mr. Si will not feel burdened.
Si Tingye smiled heartily on the other end of the phone, "Miss Yu Jinkou opened her mouth. Which young man dares to refuse?"
If this sentence were said by other people, it would definitely sound greasy and a bit like harassment, but when it was said by Si Tingye, it sounded sincere.
Leng Buding remembered Jiang Nianyan's description of Si Tingye: a tiger with a smile and good at interpersonal relationships.
I almost got carried away by his enthusiasm.
Yu Nian still thanked her profusely, but deliberately did not develop the topic further. It was Si Tingye who took the initiative to invite him, saying that he happened to be passing by Beishi and hoped that Miss Yu would honor him and give him a chance to treat him to dinner.
Yu Nian turned his back on Si Tingye and calmly rejected Si Tingye's invitation.
Si Tingye didn't force anyone to do anything, he just laughed and said that calling today seemed rude, and he would sincerely invite him another day.
After hanging up the phone, Yu Nian sighed. Fortunately, Jiang Nianyan had vaccinated her, otherwise she might not be able to bear just listening to Si Tingye's bewitching voice.
After all, she had decided at the beginning that she would go whenever Si Tingye invited her.
Stretching Si Tingye, all Yu Nian could think of at the moment was to force the other party to make the first move. She remained unchanged in response to all changes. Whether there was a deeper mystery, she could not imagine based on her current experience.
It's strange. She obviously hates Jiang Nianyan so much, but she is still willing to believe his tricks subconsciously.

Yu Juanzhou drank too much.
It was Qiao Min who picked him up. He was quite quiet on the way back, but when he was almost there, he couldn't help it anymore. Seeing that the situation was bad, Qiao Min quickly chose a road and stopped with double flash. Yu Juanzhou rushed out of the car and ran to the trash can and vomited.
Qiao Min sighed heavily and took purified water and tissues from the trunk. When Yu Juanzhou was almost done vomiting, she handed him tissues and water and came forward. Seeing that he was still drunk, she simply did it for him.
After letting him rinse his mouth and wiping his face, he stood leaning against the tree trunk for a while before he recovered.
Qiao Min helped him get into the car again and fastened his seat belt. He still smelled of alcohol, and he had just torn off two buttons of his shirt, revealing his solid chest.
His head was leaning against the car seat, and the lines from his jawline to the protruding Adam's apple were smooth and sexy. Qiao Min looked away from him, but the man's breath was everywhere.
The scent of leather and wood wrapped in wine is both clean and masculine.
Qiao Min's breathing became heavier. She took a deep breath, abandoned the distracting thoughts in her heart, and kept telling herself: He is Yu Juanzhou, the younger brother of her best friend, and also her younger brother.
She knew Yu Juanzhou from Yu Nian's side. When they secretly went to eat at a roadside stall, Yu Juanzhou followed Yu Nian and told her, "If you eat these unhealthy things, I'll let you go home." Just tell mom!"
At that time, Yu Juanzhou was still short, just one grade lower than the two of them. According to Yu Nian, he always sat in the first row in his class.
Even though he is small, he is very imposing. He is only a few years old and already has the demeanor of a rich man.
At that time, Qiao Min also told Yu Nian that when you two stand together, you look like a wild girl, and he is a pure young man.
The young master is very well behaved and well-organized in all his actions. He is a favorite among the teachers. He is also versatile. Despite his young age, there are many girls around him.
But he only got close to Yu Nian.
He doesn't like to talk to others in class. He likes to go to Yu Nian after class, or just read in class. He always sits very straight when reading, and he is calm and leisurely at a young age.
Only when Yu Nian secretly eats from a roadside stall does he get emotional.
At that time, Qiao Min was very annoyed with Yu Juanzhou. She always felt that he liked to put on airs at a young age and had to take care of everything. Why was he pretending to be serious when he was obviously just a little kid?
Later, he followed Yu Nian away, and when they met again, they were already adults.
Without Yu Nian's introduction, Qiao Min would not have recognized that the tall and handsome young man in front of her was her childhood follower Yu Juanzhou. The moment she caught sight of his smiling eyes, she could hear her heart beating against her chest.
Yu Juanzhou was cheerful at that time and praised her as a great woman. She was quite happy until he said before leaving, "Sister Min, can I save your phone number?"
The words "Sister Min" firmly suppressed the fire in her heart.
But pressing and holding does not mean pressing it off.
Qiao Min was very clear about her feelings for Yu Juanzhou. This secret love was like a glass of boiled red wine, which made her drunken and bitter after one sip. So she almost fell in love with boiled red wine. She would cook it every winter when she had nothing to do. Have a glass of red wine and get drunk by yourself facing the long neon lights and deep night outside the window.
Just because of that shocking glimpse, she can no longer hold anyone in her heart. It’s not that there are no better men than Yu Juanzhou. Her location and resources allow her to come into contact with many high-quality men, but it’s also because she’s in this place. The industry allowed her to see the filth beneath the elegant exterior, and also allowed her to truly feel how rare and precious Yu Juanzhou was.
Many men were chasing her, and she would compare every man with Yu Juanzhou.
In her heart, no one is better than Yu Juanzhou.
She didn't socialize tonight, but she received a call from Yu Juanzhou.
Yu Juanzhou's voice on the phone was very drunk, but it could be heard that he was still holding on. He said, "Sister Min, could you please pick me up?"
Not to mention that Qiao Min was fine, even if she was going to socialize, she believed that she would just go there without caring.
Yu Juanzhou came out of the social gathering.
When Qiao Min found him, his car was flashing on the side of the road. He was also sitting on the side of the road, his head drooped, his shirt sleeves rolled up, revealing his strong forearms.
He is a little allergic to alcohol. Every time he drinks, his face and even his body will be red, so his arms under his sleeves are also red.
Seeing her coming, he raised his head and smiled at her, and then called "Sister Min."
Okay, not quite unconscious yet, enough to recognize her. Qiao Min asked him why the car was parked here? Did you drive it yourself? are you crazy?
Yu Juanzhou shook his head and said drunkenly that the driver he called was talking too much and he was getting bored to death, so he drove the person away while the car was driving.
"Also, that man still has body odor. I'm afraid it will smell all over your car..."
When Qiao Min heard this, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. How could she be so pretentious at this time? Why didn't she say that he still smelled of alcohol?
Yu Juanzhou came to the house to block her before, but the car hasn't been replaced yet. Qiao Min thought that she should drive his car. Seeing that there was a parking lot next to it, she helped Yu Juanzhou back to his car and said to him, "Wait for me for a while and don't wander around, okay?"
He stretched out his hand to hold her arm, and she felt her wrist was hot.
Yu Juanzhou leaned over with his slender body and asked her where she was going.
The posture was like that of a pet dog that had just been thrown away by its owner.
Qiao Min didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she explained to him that she would park the car first, and then drive him home in his car. Seeing that he looked drunk and didn't seem to understand, I told him the key points directly.
"Just wait in the car for me to come back and don't go anywhere, you know?"
Yu Juanzhou nodded.
When Qiao Min came back, he was quite obedient. He didn't walk around or do anything that made people worry. He was quite honest while sitting in the passenger seat.
The backlash until this moment.
Qiao Min didn't drive immediately because she was afraid that he would vomit again.
He closed his eyes for a while, and when he opened them, his eyes regained some clarity. He thanked Qiao Min and felt guilty for a while.
"Is there anything that's delaying you?"
Qiao Min said no and asked him, "Why did you drink so much?"
When I met Yu Juanzhou when he grew up, he was not very good at drinking. Sometimes he would go out with Yu Yi to socialize, but most of the time he would not be forced to drink.
Gradually, he became more and more involved in business and drank more and more. Although he was somewhat allergic to alcohol, his drinking capacity was getting bigger and bigger, and he couldn't get drunk easily.
But to be so drunk tonight seems to be a special situation.
Yu Juanzhou was still feeling quite uncomfortable, so he forced himself to drink a few more sips of water, frowning as he swallowed. He said, "Huang Jifa is just a loach. His hands are slippery. It is difficult to chew a piece of meat from his hands."
Qiao Min was shocked. She knew that Huang Jifa owned the best factory building in the area. She also heard about the Yu family's desire to finalize the factory building. She didn't expect that it would be him that Yu Juanzhou would see tonight.
That person is more than just a loach, he is simply an old fox. Those who are shallow in the shopping mall are no match for him.
"Is there no progress?" Qiao Min asked him.
Yu Juanzhou's breath was a little heavy and he said, "It's not like there's no progress, but it's just not close to my goal."
"Take your time. People like Huang Jifa have interests first and are very petty in doing things. Even if you reach an agreement today, he may change his mind at any time tomorrow."
Qiao Min thought for a moment after saying this, "Maybe I can -"
"Sister Min, don't worry about my affairs. There is too much mess in the Yu family. If you want to get involved, you will be exhausted."
Qiao Min sighed, "I just want to help you think of a solution."
"I can still control it now. If I can't, I'll ask you for help again."
Seeing her looking at him, Yu Juanzhou smiled again, "Really, I'm not afraid of bothering you at all. Do you think I'm being polite to you tonight?"
