According to the usual practice in previous years, Qinghe should still be watching the Spring Festival Gala with his grandparents at this time.
Grandpa and grandma are very traditional old people. Every year on New Year's Eve, they stay up until twelve o'clock before going to bed. They say it is a rule left by their ancestors.
When the video was connected, Ruan Yi heard the sound of the Spring Festival Gala on the other end, as well as the sounds of grandparents eating melon seeds and talking.
Familiar background sounds fell into his eardrums, and Ruan Yi smiled unconsciously.
Qinghe sat down in front of the sofa with fruits and asked Ruan Yi, "Why didn't you accompany your father-in-law and mother-in-law? Do they mind?"
Ruan Yi: "I miss you, show me my grandparents."
Qinghe focused the camera on the two old people. Grandpa and grandma talked to Ruan Yi respectively. As they talked, the two old people were a little sad.
"Hey, in the blink of an eye, Yiyi got married and can't celebrate the New Year with us..."
"Fortunately, your father-in-law and mother-in-law are good people and treat us well..."
Ruan Yi's eyes heated up when he heard this.
She was originally very sad because she couldn't spend the New Year with them, but after hearing these words, her tears suddenly opened.
Ruan Yi didn't want them to see her crying, so she turned her back to the camera and secretly raised her hand to wipe her tears.
When Xu Siyan came over, he happened to see this scene.
Xu Siyan came up to rest. He had no interest in the Spring Festival Gala. He watched it with Xu Moyan and Wan Liu for a few hours before he started to feel sleepy.
Unexpectedly, when he returned to the room upstairs to rest, he saw Ruan Yi wiping tears on the balcony.
She was crying as if she was so absorbed in it that she didn't notice the guest room door being pushed open.
Xu Siyan stepped lightly and walked towards the balcony, and then heard her say: "I will go home to you in the second grade of junior high school."
"Mom, please stop cooking in the second grade of junior high school. Wait until I get back to cook for you."
Qinghe said "hmm" and asked tentatively: "Are you coming back alone?"
Ruan Yi: "Yeah."
Qinghe: "...Okay."
Qinghe was very measured and didn't mention Xu Siyan, but he still couldn't help but said to Ruan Yi, "Yiyi, it's fine for me and your grandparents to live here. Thank you for me and your parents-in-law. For the time being. I won’t move anymore, mom doesn’t want you to suffer too much.”
Click.
Just when Ruan Yi's lips moved, ready to respond to Qing He's words, the sliding door of the balcony suddenly made a noise.
Ruan Yi was startled and immediately turned his head to look over.
When she met Xu Siyan's face, she was stunned.
She had no idea when Xu Siyan came over, and she didn't dare to think how much he had heard in the conversation just now.
Qinghe: "Yiyi, are you still there? Why can't you see anyone or hear any sound?"
"Yes, Mom, my mother-in-law asked me to do something." Ruan Yi found her voice and pretended to be calm, "I'll go over there first. If there's anything else, I'll talk about it the day I get home."
After leaving these words, Ruan Yi hurriedly hung up the video.
She raised her head and met Xu Siyan's eyes again.
Xu Siyan's expression was cold. Although Ruan Yi didn't say anything bad about him just now, his temper was always bad, and Bao Buqi would be angry because of Qinghe's words.
Ruan Yi took a deep breath and tried to force out a smile, "You're going to rest, right? I'm going to take a shower outside, so don't disturb me -"
Before Ruan Yi finished speaking, Xu Siyan suddenly stepped closer to her.
She was forced back step by step by him, and finally leaned against the balcony railing.
Ruan Yi subconsciously lowered her head to avoid his sight, but heard his order: "Raise your eyes and look at me."
Ruan Yi could only raise his head with a stiff neck: "What's wrong?"
Xu Siyan: "Are you aggrieved?"
When he asked, Ruan Yi became more sure that he heard those words, "No, it's because my mother loves her daughter so much and worries about me too much. She knows why you married me and doesn't mean to blame you."
Xu Siyan: "I'm not asking about her."
He stared into her eyes, "I'm asking about you."
Ruan Yi: "I have no grievances. You have been good enough to me."
Xu Siyan stared at her with a cold gaze and did not answer.
Ruan Yi: "...Did your parents say something again? Sorry, don't take it to heart. I will explain it to them."
Xu Siyan: "My dad asked me to take charge of your family's moving."
His words were blunt and direct: "I will go back with you in the second grade of junior high school and tell them in person."
Ruan Yi: "...No need to trouble you, I can..."
Xu Siyan: "What can you do? I heard what your mother said just now. If you don't want to cause trouble for me, just settle the moving matter quickly. I don't have time to waste on your matters."
Ruan Yi felt strong impatience from Xu Siyan's words.
She thought that if she refused again, Xu Siyan would hate her even more.
After thinking about it for a while, Ruan Yi could only nod and agree: "Okay, thank you."
Because she was nervous, she licked her lips, and her originally dry lips became moist, shining with water under the light of the overhead lights.
Xu Siyan stared at it for a few seconds and quickly looked away.
This time it fell on her eyes.
She had just cried, her eyes were red, and her eyes were still vaguely wet.
Xu Siyan thought of the scene of her quietly wiping away tears just now, and his throat felt a little hot.
He was fed something that night, but I can no longer remember the specific scene.
After their marriage, he had very little contact with Ruan Yi. The only time they spent the night in the same room, he had no interest in her.
But it seems a little different today.
Xu Siyan thought that he could not escape human nature after all.
Probably because he was "taught" by Xu Moyan today, he naturally turned his anger on Ruan Yi.
There are only a few ways for men to punish women.
Xu Siyan's eyes gradually became cloudy and thick, and his breath was dangerous.
Ruan Yi clearly sensed that something was wrong with his aura, but she didn't think about it in other ways, just thinking that Xu Siyan was angry.
Ruan Yi reflexively apologized to him: "Isn't that right..."
"Ruan Yi." Xu Siyan interrupted her, his voice a little hoarse. He raised a hand and touched her lips, with desire ready to come out in his eyes.
Ruan Yi was shocked after reading this message.
She wasn't so innocent that she didn't understand anything, but it was hard to imagine that Xu Siyan would have such thoughts about her.
and……
To be honest, their first time wasn't very pleasant, and she wasn't ready to be intimate with him.
Ruan Yi subconsciously held his forearm: "It seems that I haven't said New Year greetings to my parents yet, first--"
Xu Siyan sneered, and this time he grabbed her chin directly, "What qualifications do you have to refuse me."
Ruan Yi: "...you don't like me."
She tried to calm herself down.
Xu Siyan: "When you and Zhou Li plotted against me, didn't you know that I didn't like you?"
Ruan Yi: "Sorry, I can't help it."
For the first time, she revealed her embarrassment and scars in front of him, and told him everything Ruan Jianggu had forced her to do.
After hearing this, Xu Siyan smiled even more sarcastically, and placed his hand on her carotid artery to press it.
"Burning bridges across rivers, you are really good at planning."
