Therefore, after weighing it, Ruan Yi agreed to Fu Xiaozhi's invitation and noted down the time and place.
After getting along before, Ruan Yi's relationship with Fu Xiaozhi and Jiang Mingzhu is closer than before, but it is far from "close".
Moreover, Ruan Yi has never discussed Xu Siyan's related issues with Jiang Mingzhu.
What Ruan Yi didn't expect was that Jiang Mingzhu would choose to chat with her on the afternoon of the proposal.
At three o'clock, Ruan Yi arrived at the Prime Minister's Villa.
When she came over, Jiang Mingzhu was busy in the yard, directing people around to hang things on the wall.
It can be seen from the decoration of the venue that Jiang Mingzhu is a very romantic and interesting person.
Jiang Mingzhu has a somewhat arrogant temperament, is also very coquettish, and is very enthusiastic. After being in contact with her for a long time, it is probably difficult not to like her.
Ruan Yi quite understood Xu Siyan. His cold personality was actually more likely to be attracted to such a warm person.
After Jiang Mingzhu saw Ruan Yi, she immediately put down the balloon in her hand and came over to talk to her, "You're here."
Ruan Yi nodded, looked at the surrounding decorations, smiled and said to her, "Congratulations."
Jiang Mingzhu: "Actually, I have always wanted to say sorry to you."
She looked at Ruan Yi sheepishly.
Because of her relationship with Zhou Li, Xu Siyan and Ruan Yi were forced to be bound together, and neither of them had a satisfactory life.
Ruan Yi had no choice before cooperating with Zhou Li. She must not have any feelings for Xu Siyan.
It makes me sad to think about being married to someone I don't like and not being able to divorce.
Ruan Yi smiled lightly and said, "You are not sorry for me. This is my own choice."
Jiang Mingzhu: "What is the choice? Zhou Li forced you, I know. If it weren't for me -"
"No." Ruan Yi spoke unhurriedly, without any sense of impoliteness even though he was interrupting Jiang Mingzhu's words.
She paused briefly, looked into Jiang Mingzhu's eyes and said, "Zhou Lihui is looking for me because he knows that I have liked Si Yan for a long time."
This time it was Jiang Mingzhu's turn to be stunned.
Her eyes were wide open and her mind was confused——
Ruan Yi likes Xu Siyan? When did it happen? That bitch Zhou Li never mentioned it to her at all!
Ruan Yi saw Jiang Mingzhu's confusion and took the initiative to explain: "When I was in middle school, I was in the same school as them. Then something happened at home and I transferred to another school."
Jiang Mingzhu: "...Have you liked him since then?"
Ruan Yi didn't answer.
Jiang Mingzhu: "Does he know?"
Ruan Yi: "That was all during my student days."
She smiled at Jiang Mingzhu, "You don't have to blame yourself. I chose this voluntarily. Today is the day you propose, don't think about it."
Jiang Mingzhu stopped and stared at Ruan Yi: "You don't want him to know."
Ruan Yi: "So I hope you can keep it a secret for me."
Jiang Mingzhu: "...Okay."
Ruan Yi: "I'll help you pop up the balloons."
Jiang Mingzhu was smart and knew how to measure things. Seeing that Ruan Yi didn't want to talk about this topic, she skipped it.
——
For the next few hours, Ruan Yi was busy working in the yard, finishing all the decorations in the yard before evening.
At half past five, Xu Siyan and Yuanye came together.
When the two of them entered the yard, Ruan Yi happened to be joking with Fu Xiaozhi and Fang Qinyang.
After catching a glimpse of Xu Siyan's figure from the corner of his eye, Ruan Yi's smile stiffened slightly.
Fu Xiaozhi also saw Yuan Ye and Xu Siyan, and called them over at the top of her lungs.
After getting closer, Xu Siyan's eyes fell on Ruan Yi, "Why are you here?"
His tone was not cold, it was light, but it had a questioning flavor, as if he was accusing her of not coming over.
Fu Xiaozhi: "I asked her to come over."
Ruan Yi: "Zhizhi said she needed help, so I happened to be free, so I came over."
Xu Siyan: "Oh."
The interaction between the two people made several people watching uncomfortable. Fu Xiaozhi really couldn't stand Xu Siyan's attitude, but it was hard to say anything. In order to avoid Ruan Yi being embarrassed, he took her away first.
Yuanye glanced at Ruan Yi's back, then looked at Xu Siyan beside him and teased: "I have lived for thirty years, and I have never seen a couple that you and Ruan Yi are so unfamiliar with."
Xu Siyan sneered, "She and I are not a couple."
Yuanye: "Didn't I say that you two have been together for more than three years and you really have no interest at all?"
Xu Siyan didn't answer.
Yuanye's expression became a little more serious, and he lowered his voice to remind him: "Don't forget, Zhuzhu is going to propose to Fourth Brother."
Xu Siyan: "It's not because of her."
Yuanye: "Why is that? Isn't Ruan Yi very good? You..."
"Not interested." Xu Siyan was a little impatient, "If you think she's pretty good, go ahead."
Yuanye: "...I'm giving you some advice. If you really don't like it, you can get divorced."
Xu Siyan: "Unless she mentions it, my parents won't agree."
Xu Moyan and Wan Liu had been recruited by Ruan Yi a long time ago. If he dared to mention divorce, he would probably be scolded to death by them.
Xu Siyan didn't want to quarrel with his parents, and besides, he had no intention of falling in love, so it didn't matter if he kept Ruan Yi.
Yuanye touched his chin and looked at Ruan Yi again: "From what you say, do you think she will definitely not divorce you?"
Xu Siyan: "She can figure it out."
This marriage has brought her so many things, the most important thing is to help her get rid of the Ruan family.
For this reason alone, she would not be able to divorce, otherwise she would not be able to endure it for three years.
Yuan Ye disagreed: "Don't be too confident. One day she can't bear your cold violence and asks you for divorce, and you'll be stupid."
Xu Siyan: "I don't care."
Yuan Ye: "Then what if she gets married to another man? It doesn't matter to you?"
Xu Siyan didn't know what he thought of, his eyes suddenly darkened, and his hands clenched into fists: "She dares."
Successfully seeing Xu Siyan's mood swings, Yuanye raised his eyebrows and added fuel to the fire: "That's not necessarily the case. A leopard comes out of a weak man. According to my experience, Ruan Yi is very much like the kind of person who makes big news suddenly. You’d better not be too confident.”
Xu Siyan snorted, "If she dares to cheat, I won't let her go."
Yuan Ye: "Tsk, you're quite angry. You didn't fulfill your husband's duties. It's understandable that she cheated on you."
Xu Siyan: "I didn't cheat on her or abuse her."
Yuanye: "But you can be cold and violent. If you don't go home for more than three years, it's really your fault."
Yuanye patted him on the shoulder, "You meet the waiter in the restaurant downstairs of your company more often than you meet your wife."
Xu Siyan: "..."
——
The proposal planned by Jiang Mingzhu was very successful.
After the proposal, Jiang Mingzhu and Zhou Li had dinner together.
Ruan Yi and Xu Siyan were originally asked to stay, but Xu Siyan did not accept it.
He walked up to Ruan Yi, put his hand on her waist and said, "I have something to do with her, so I'll leave first."
Ruan Yi didn't even have time to say anything else before he was dragged out of the prime minister's villa by Xu Siyan.
After walking out of the yard, Xu Siyan looked back at Ruan Yi and asked, "Are you driving?"
