Then, Ye Yang Zhengxiong took down a small teapot and an exquisite tea box from the shelf behind him, made another pot of tea, and poured it for Chen Xing.
"Come, try this, the Golden Peony from the Eastern Continent."
The newly brewed tea is rich and mellow, which is completely different from the rough and bitter taste of the previous cup. It is not on the same level at all.
Improved remuneration also means a change in attitude. As expected of a scholarly family, even his expressions are so cryptic.
"I will secretly understand what you just said."
"If it's true, I will no longer object to anything between you and your eldest niece from now on."
"Moreover, I will prepare a dowry of sufficient size for her so that she can get married in style."
"But..." Ye Yang Zhengxiong paused and looked at the courtyard outside the bamboo curtain, "I will never admit your relationship publicly."
His tone was low and firm, as if he would not change due to anything.
Chen Xing didn't speak, just listened quietly and sipped tea quietly.
After being silent for a long time, Ye Yang Zhengxiong said, "There are some things that you will understand even if you don't tell them..."
"Being with you is like being with a tiger. Our Yeyang family is not strong enough to dare to openly challenge the Grand Duke. Even if the Steel Sisters agree and the Holy Light Church does not pursue the case, we cannot afford it..." He looked at Chen Xing , with a sincere tone, "I hope you can understand."
Chen Xing nodded. This kind of thing should not be borne by the Ye Yang family. As the head of the family said, he can't afford it. A wealthy family from a third-tier city was simply unable to withstand the wrath of a king, let alone the Grand Duke Salode, who was known for his impulsiveness and irritability.
"Thank you." Ye Yang Zhengxiong cupped his hands in an ancient salute, and Chen Xing returned the salute.
"I'm going to stay for dinner tonight, meet my family, and get acquainted with each other." Ye Yang Zhengxiong added, "Let's just say to the outside world that you are a distant relative of our Ye Yang family in the Eastern Continent."
"It all depends on the elders." Chen Xing nodded and said.
Ye Yangzhengxiong's meaning was very clear. He would not admit it publicly, but he would admit it privately. Judging from the current situation, it is indeed the best choice, which is good for everyone.
Unless one day, he can be on an equal footing with Justice.
Maybe it's still a long time before this day, but he believes that Emperor Tian will live up to his intentions.
As long as he perseveres and perseveres, one day he will be able to reach a high enough level to marry Ye Yang Bailiu home openly and give him a football team.
Princes, generals and prime ministers, would you rather have the seed?
Why can Liu Bang, the pavilion leader, rise up, Liu Bei, the straw sandal seller, compete in the Central Plains, and Zhu Yuanzhang, a grassroots man, be able to dominate the world, but Chen Xing cannot!
His fists were secretly clenched, his heart was filled with ups and downs, but his face remained calm.
The sound is loud, but the elephant is invisible.
You don’t need to say what’s in your heart, you don’t need to tell anyone, you just need to do it!
The two sat opposite each other, drinking tea and saying nothing.
Time passed quietly, and the setting sun shone through the bamboo curtains on the two of them, making light and darkness distinct.
Ye Yang Zhengxiong stood up slowly and stared at the sunset gradually sinking down the roof.
He secretly evaluated the young man in front of him:
Know how to advance and retreat, know gains and losses.
He can keep his composure and be able to act decisively.
The person that the eldest niece is interested in is indeed not an ordinary person. Compared with the second Prince Maris who grew up in the greenhouse and only knew school and dances, he is indeed better than him.
Given time, it might actually become something great.
"It's time for dinner." He turned around and spoke in a relaxed tone.
Later, Ye Yang Zhengxiong brought Chen Xing back to the lobby, summoned his family members and servants, and announced: "This is Chen Xing, a distant relative of our Ye Yang family in the Eastern Continent."
"Hello, elders!" Chen Xing said with clasped fists in cooperation.
Regarding this "distant relative" who suddenly appeared, everyone in Ye Yang's family looked puzzled, but since the head of the family said yes, that was it, and no one dared to raise any objection.
After sitting in the lobby for a while, Ye Yang Zhengxiong introduced the elders and juniors one by one, and soon it was dinner time.
Ding Wang, a member of Ye Yang's family, had seven or eight tables set up in the courtyard, which was as lively as a banquet.
Regardless of her mother's objections, Ye Yang Qingyan forced herself to sit next to Chen Xing, holding a glass of wine and asked in a low voice: "Should I call you brother-in-law or cousin?"
"As you like." Chen Xing replied in a low voice.
"Is it the Chen family from the Eastern Continent?" Ye Yangqingyan's eyebrows were slightly curved with a smile.
Chen Xing smiled. The other party was hinting at the lie he had deceived everyone in Orchid Town. At that time, in order not to be oppressed by the children of the aristocratic family, he made up the background of the Chen family, a cultivating family in the Eastern Continent, based on the fantasy on earth. Everyone believed it and was deceived into running around. Ye Yangqingyan had just entered high school at the time and was not deeply involved in the world. She believed Chen Xing's words deeply. As a result, she was deceived the most and became a little fan girl. After being exposed, she hated Chen Xing the most.
Times have changed, but it has become a joke at the dinner table.
"That's not what I said." Chen Xing pulled Ye Yangzhengxiong out to act as a shield.
"That's really bad~" Ye Yangqingyan bumped him with her arm, then moved the cup over, pretending to be flattering, "Cousin, why don't you have a drink with your little sister~"
The voice was so sweet that it made people's hearts flutter.
Worried about being seen by everyone, my wife started having an affair with her sister-in-law before she got married, which had a bad influence. Chen Xing quickly clinked the cup and distanced himself, but he couldn't help teasing her, "Okay, I won't come home until I'm drunk tonight."
"Cousin, you must keep your word and don't lie to others~"
"That's right, you can't lie to anyone, but you can't lie to your cousin."
There were a lot of people present, so the two of them stopped as soon as they ordered. After drinking, they ate their own food without any further communication.
Chen Xing is quite clear about this sister-in-law.
Ye Yang Qingyan has been suppressed by her sister since she was a child. She is compared with Ye Yang Bailiu in everything. They have been in a competitive relationship since they were young. But Ye Yang Bailiu was a genius when she was a girl, and she couldn't compare to him in everything, so she had to fight for everything Ye Yang Bailiu had, whether it was things or men.
I have to say that this is a tragedy for the big family. Blood relatives fight against each other and are always suffering from family affection and interests. It is very easy to develop a morbid mentality.
In a sense, Ye Yangqingyan is an out-and-out "brother-in-law control".
Chen Xing had little confidence in his self-control ability, especially for 36D beautiful girls, so he could only avoid them. After eating, he made an excuse of "the shop is back to work and things are busy" and ran away.
In the blink of an eye, we arrived at the shopping street. Even at night, business was still booming. Mia and the sales girl were surrounded by customers, asking questions.
There are some new faces among the clerks, they must be new recruits these days.
Chen Xing stood at the door for a while, and when he saw that business had recovered, he was ready to leave.
"boom!"
There was a sudden roar from behind, and a large motorcycle rushed across the road. Pedestrians on the road gave way and rushed straight in front of Chen Xing.
Ye Yang Qingyan in the car looked at Chen Xing, but her pretty face was frosty and her beautiful eyes were full of hatred.
Chen Xing's heart skipped a beat, why did his face change faster than the sky changed? He was fine just now, but now he hates her in the blink of an eye.
The sight of Yingying Qiushui made Chen Xing feel guilty, and he asked cautiously, "Qingyan, what's wrong?"
"I really didn't expect you to be such a person!" Ye Yangqingyan gritted her teeth and said bitterly, "You were so attentive in the morning, but you turned your back on me at night?"
Her excited voice attracted passers-by to stop and watch.
"What's wrong with me?" Chen Xing looked aggrieved. Dozens of lines of sight coming at him at the same time were really embarrassing.
"What do you think I am, a disposable product? Just kick me after using it!" As she said that, Ye Yangqingyan's eyes turned red and she was about to cry.
After hearing the serious ambiguity, coupled with the expression of the person involved, passers-by showed "I see" expressions and started pointing at Chen Xing, which sounded like a heartless man abandoning a good family woman.
"Why, how is that possible!" Chen Xing panicked. Even though he had numerous wives, he had never encountered such a thing.
If it were someone else, wouldn't he let go of the advantage of having it delivered to his door? But the other party is Ye Yang Bailiu's sister. There are too many involved and complicated things to make it impossible.
"You, please don't cry first..." He hurriedly comforted her, wanting to reach out and hug her, but he didn't dare and froze in mid-air.
"How could you be so bold when you touched someone's butt before, but now you are as timid as a mouse! I, I will never pay attention to you again!"
After saying that, he turned the accelerator and the locomotive roared out. The crowd in front dodged awkwardly, and then started to complain.
The crowd gradually dispersed.
Perhaps it is not unusual for such dramas to be staged here every day.
Looking at the beautiful figure disappearing under the lantern, Chen Xing felt mixed emotions in his heart.
Love doesn’t know where it starts, love doesn’t know where it comes from.
I have been a human being for three generations, but I don’t understand.
In the first life, I focused on studying and making progress, and never fell in love.
In the second life, I wandered for half my life and met Su Xuefei. After getting along for a short time, they went their separate ways. I don’t know if it’s love, or two lonely people hugging each other for warmth.
The third life, and Ye Yang Bailiu, seemed to think that this woman was suitable to be a wife. Maybe the other person felt the same way, but he wasn't sure.
As for other women, it’s all because of profit.
At least that's what he felt.
No money, no power, no pig will even look at you.
So, he has been working hard.
In his concept, there is only "change".
Give women what they need in exchange for them.
He never understood what love was, and he never thought about understanding it.
Because he doesn't believe it.
He likes to use addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and to measure with things that are visible and tangible.
At this moment, he didn't know what this girl meant to him and what he meant to this girl.
He thinks it's because he treats his sister
Jealousy, but recalling every bit of the past, he became more and more confused.
After thinking about it for a long time, I have no answer.
Maybe people like him can never understand things in another dimension.
"Alas..." He put his pants in his waistband, kicked the pebbles on the roadside, and walked melancholy to the aeroboat outside the town.
On the same night, Ye Yang Bailiu, who was meditating in the Great Holy Church, received a message from his third uncle.
"Eldest niece, that guy is pretty good! He convinced your uncle and now he agrees to let you be together."
After seeing the message, Ye Yang Bailiu's expression remained calm, as if he had no special feeling.
There was neither relief nor excitement, but a long period of contemplation.
Is this what she expected?
Does she like that person?
Does she love that person?
I like it for sure.
If you don't like it, why would you want to sleep with that person when you see him?
If you don't like it, why would you look forward to the messages from him every day and night.
If you don't like it, how can you easily be amused by him.
Do you love him?
she does not know.
Because she doesn't even know what love is.
She has always been a rational person and does what she thinks is right.
Pursue "right" and be "right".
In this way she is very similar to that person.
In a sense, they are the same kind of people.
Cautious, rational, and rarely dominated by emotions.
In Dragonstone Town, the other party saw through the clumsy theft and captured her alive, then used words and threats to destroy her defenses, and used rape to take away her first time.
But the next day, she didn't cry like other women, showing her vulnerability and unwillingness.
She adjusted her emotions in the shortest possible time. Through calm thinking, she found that the best way to avoid being humiliated again was to follow the cunning fox and learn from him the skills and experience of independent survival.
So, she followed him.
She chose what she thought was right.
After that, she really learned a lot from each other. Whether it's combat skills, the grasp of people's hearts, and the understanding of the cruel world outside the campus.
So, she was grateful.
Later, the man was seriously injured and nearly died.
It felt like she had lost an important piece of her heart. She didn't want that person to disappear, she hoped to see him and hear his voice again in the future.
She had only one idea at that time, to save him, no matter what way, at any cost.
Under this strong desire, something in her soul broke, and an emerald storm swept through her world, leaving behind a silence.
She woke up.
Once again, she chose what she thought was right.
Later, she chose to defect to Hua Beidou, which was also the right thing in her heart.
Because she wants to be free, want to have her own life, no longer wants to bear the family's hopes, and no longer wants to be a prisoner in a cage.
She rejected the second prince's pursuit, and also rejected the marriage proposal of the Red Dragon Grand Duke. She would rather join the Iron Sisters and swear to never marry than submit.
This is what she thinks is right.
Her future is not a prison bird in the royal city, it will be no different from the past.
What she wants is not good clothing and food, she wants freedom.
A real life of her own, breathing the air she wants, and doing what she thinks is right.
That man came back to her from the Black Death Continent, and she decided to kill him if he was still as weak as before and unable to bear their future.
Between freedom and him, she chose freedom.
Because freedom is more important than him, and he is not a supreme being, she feels that she does not love him, but just likes him.
Maybe one day, she will leave everything now, marry him and have children.
But it was not because of love, it was just that she felt that he was suitable to play the role of husband, so she made the right decision.
So she wasn't sure if this was the result she wanted.
Like him, love freedom.
Maybe this was the answer she wanted, but she wasn't sure.
In the midst of deep contemplation, I don't know how long it had passed before the chirping of birds suddenly came from above.
Looking up, the morning light shines through the stained glass windows, reflecting colorful spots on the ground.
"Please forgive me for being willful..." She said to herself, stood up, and walked outside.
On the high platform behind him, the golden light of the cross flows, and the steps towards the morning light become more determined.
