Ruan Yi's right eyelid twitched, already guessing what he was going to do.
She naturally resisted, but Xu Siyan had already pushed her shoulders and pushed her in.
He followed closely, and when Ruan Yi reacted, the car door had already been closed.
The back seat of the off-road vehicle is very spacious, perfect for doing some shady things.
After Ruan Yi got into the car, she habitually dodged back. Xu Siyan stared at her closely, approaching her little by little.
In the end, Ruan Yi was unable to retreat and pressed his back against the car door.
Xu Siyan's hand grabbed her chin.
Ruan Yi: "Next time, okay? This is not the right place."
Xu Siyan: "If you can't do it with me, who can you do it with?"
He quipped, "Your 'consistency'?"
What he said was harsh, and it sounded like he was jealous at first, but Ruan Yi was not so naive as to have such thoughts.
Xu Siyan has no feelings for her, so there is no need to talk about being jealous.
He was just unwilling to accept that someone else was plotting against her, and he deliberately used this method to humiliate her.
Ruan Yi: "I haven't contacted him for many years. I was just ignorant when I was a student."
Xu Siyan: "I'm not interested in your affairs."
His voice was cold and hard, "But Ruan Yi, you'd better remember this marriage that you planned. If you do anything to embarrass my parents and the Xu family, don't blame me for being cruel to you."
Ruan Yi: "...Understand, I won't."
Xu Siyan let go of her chin, "It's best this way, get out."
Ruan Yi: "Then drive carefully, I'll leave first."
She dropped these words and got out of the car as if running for her life. After walking for a while, her breathing did not calm down.
——
After moving, Ruan Yi didn't see Xu Siyan for a long time.
On the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, school started and Ruan Yi threw himself into work again.
Although he officially joined the company not long ago, Ruan Yi is already preparing for the evaluation of professional titles.
The head of the department valued her very much and left her a place in a journal paper. In the following months, Ruan Yi kept doing experiments and checking information for the paper.
Now that I'm busy, I have fewer opportunities to go back to Xu's house to spend time with Wan Liu and Xu Moyan.
When Wan Liu learned about Ruan Yi's essay writing, he didn't bother her too much.
At the beginning of March, it was Mr. Xu's birthday. This was a big day in the Xu family, and Xu Siyan naturally remembered it.
A few days before his birthday, Xu Siyan called Xu Moyan and asked about the arrangements for the birthday banquet.
After Xu Moyan told him the time and place, he told him: "When the time comes, you can pick up Ruan Yi and come with her, and I won't disturb her."
When Xu Siyan heard this, he couldn't help but frown: "What's wrong with her?"
Ruan Yi usually goes back to Xu's house frequently, why is it a bother now?
Xu Moyan: "Ruan Yi is writing a thesis recently and has to go to class. She is busy on weekends. Your mother and I haven't seen her for a long time."
After talking to Xu Moyan on the phone, Xu Siyan was still thinking about what he said.
Busy writing papers and doing experiments, you haven't been back to Xu's house since the Spring Festival holiday?
Xu Siyan didn't believe that her job could be so busy.
That day happened to be Saturday. Xu Siyan was free in the evening, so he drove back to Qingjiang Garden.
After Xu Siyan parked the car, he looked towards the living room window. The lights were off, and the lights in the yard were not on either.
Obviously, the person hasn't come back yet.
Xu Siyan glanced at the phone screen and saw that it was already half past ten.
——
Ruan Yi spent another day in the laboratory.
The review of journal articles is strict, and all experimental data must be recorded personally. At the end of the day, Ruan Yi's mind and body were tired, and he was about to fall apart.
It was already early in the morning when he came out of the laboratory, and there was no way to take the bus. Ruan Yi had the rare luxury of taking a taxi.
Feeling a little hungry, she asked the chef to stop once on the way and bought a bowl of noodle soup at a roadside stall.
At half past twelve, Ruan Yi opened the door with soup noodles. After entering the door, she habitually touched the switch and turned on the light.
"ah--"
The figure that suddenly burst into view startled her. Ruan Yi screamed subconsciously and dropped the soup powder in her hand to the ground.
Xu Siyan sat on the sofa and looked at her expressionlessly.
It took Ruan Yi a while to calm down: "Why are you back?"
And I didn’t turn on the lights when I got home, because I wanted to scare someone to death...
Xu Siyan: "Where have you been?"
Ruan Yi: "Laboratory."
After Ruan Yi changed his shoes, he squatted down and cleaned up the dirt on the ground.
Smelling the smell of noodle soup, my stomach growled unsatisfactorily——
She hadn't eaten since eleven o'clock in the morning.
The living room was too quiet, Xu Siyan heard her stomach growling clearly.
Ruan Yi endured the embarrassment and cleaned up the floor. He couldn't eat the soup noodles anymore, so he had to cook a bowl of noodles by himself. "I'm going to make something to eat. Do you want to eat?"
Xu Siyan stood up and stood in front of her, picking up the car keys and saying, "Follow me."
——
Ruan Yi was taken to a 24-hour Cantonese restaurant by Xu Siyan.
There are few people in the early morning and the dishes are served very quickly.
Ruan Yi was so hungry that he couldn't care about his own image. As soon as the wonton noodles came, he picked up a spoon and drank the soup.
This was the first time Xu Siyan saw Ruan Yi eating in such a hurry. Although it was not a voracious meal, it was still very different from her usual elegant way of eating.
Ruan Yi noticed Xu Siyan's gaze after taking a few bites. She stopped and wiped her lips, "I'm sorry, I was a little too hungry today and made you laugh."
Xu Siyan could see that she was very hungry and wasn't pretending: "Are you very busy recently?"
Ruan Yi: "Well, I am preparing a relatively important paper, which will affect my professional title evaluation later, so I have been staying in the laboratory on weekends recently."
Xu Siyan: "It's my grandfather's birthday the day after tomorrow, at the Bulgari Hotel."
Ruan Yi: "Sorry, I seem to have forgotten."
Xu Siyan: "My parents said you haven't been back recently. They were afraid of disturbing you from writing your thesis, so they asked me to take you there directly."
Ruan Yi: "I'm causing trouble for you."
When she said this, there was still fatigue in her brows. She was probably too busy all day long, and her lips were also a little white.
Seeing Ruan Yi like this, Xu Siyan felt that she was thinking too much. Even if she had the intention to cheat, she didn't have the courage.
——
Mr. Xu's birthday banquet was quite large, and all his friends in the circle were present.
Ruan Yi and Xu Siyan arrived at the scene together, and after walking into the banquet hall, they met Zhou Li.
Ruan Yi hadn't seen Zhou Li for a long time, and she was a little overwhelmed when she suddenly met - and besides, there was Xu Siyan beside her.
Ruan Yi doesn't even know what the private relationship between Xu Siyan and Zhou Li is now.
Ruan Yi hesitated to speak, but finally failed to say a word.
Xu Siyan took a clear view of Ruan Yi's state and smiled coldly, "Why, don't you say hello to your benefactor?"
Ruan Yi pursed his lips and turned his gaze to Zhou Li.
Zhou Li was like an iceberg, even colder than when they met before.
Ruan Yi bravely called out "Mr. Zhou", "Long time no see."
Zhou Li ignored them and walked past the two of them expressionlessly.
