One Thousand and Eight Grievances (Part 3)

After she finished speaking, Ye Yan turned around and stood face to face with her. His tall figure shrouded her from top to bottom, covering her tightly.

"So, you're saying now that you don't answer my phone calls specifically because of me?"

Shu Nian was silent for a moment, and finally opened his lips softly, "To be honest, I was just thinking about myself. Five years ago, I had already been judged by so many people inexplicably, so now... I don't want to do it again. Be judged by anyone."

Speaking of this, Shu Nian remained calm and composed on her face, but her unconscious eyelashes still betrayed her emotions. She has never been able to face those things calmly five years ago. That kind of trauma will probably take more time to smooth over.

Ye Yan felt a twinge in her heart when she mentioned the past. He wanted to say something, but his throat felt uncomfortable.

"I have never done anything wrong, but in the eyes of outsiders, including your family, if I were to be with you, I would become a person with no self-esteem and no knowledge of self-love. Ye Yan, like this , I...I will feel very wronged..."

At this point, she lowered her gaze and stopped looking at him. She tried her best to cover up the mist in her eyes. She is actually not a crybaby, but for some reason lately, it's always been hard for her to control her emotions in front of Ye Yan. That day, Mrs. Xiang's sarcasm and the old lady and gentleman's sharp, needle-like eyes were all her nightmares these past few days. She couldn't help but care.

When Xiang Muyang went downstairs, he didn't see Ye Yan and Shu Nian, but Ye Yan's car was clearly still parked in the community.

Xiang Muyang walked around the car and stared at the car for a long time. Then, he suddenly remembered the sound he heard and the scene he saw in the security door just now. No matter how he thought about it, he felt something was wrong.

If the man and woman were husband and wife, how could they be so intimate with each other in that kind of place? This is too abnormal!

Xiang Muyang frowned, lifted his legs and walked towards the stairs of the first floor. It’s bound to be a crowd on the floor!

However, what surprised him was that he jumped directly on the floor. When they took the elevator back home, Shu Nian had already returned home and was squatting in front of Shu Dafu to wash his feet.

Shu Nian squatted there, a little distracted. My mind was a little confused for a long time. In the end, after she said those words to Ye Yan, Ye Yan no longer forced her to go to his place, but instead left quietly like that.

This was the result she originally wanted,

However, I didn't feel happy at all.

Maybe, he also felt that what she said was reasonable and planned to go back and calm down. After calming down, he might find that, as she said, he might just be impulsive towards her.

Xiang Muyang stood there and stared at Shu Nian for a long time. The look in her eyes was questioning and probing, as if he wanted to see some clues through her expression. However, Shu Nian just washed and wiped Shu Dafu's feet as if nothing had happened, and then massaged them. There was no trace of discomfort or guilt on his face.

Aunt Gui had just put the clothes in. When she looked up, she saw Xiang Muyang's expression. She looked down at Shu Nian again and then said, "Muyang, I just gave you the pajamas that your father hasn't worn yet." It’s on the bed, you go try it and see if it fits.”

Only then did Xiang Muyang come back to his senses, and finally looked away from Shu Nian. He nodded, "Okay, I'll try it right now."

In front of the two elders, he tried to keep calm and didn't ask anything.

—————————

On the way back, Ye Yan looked cold and his hands on the steering wheel were tense. In my mind, Shu Nian was still pretending to be strong despite being very sad when he finally said he was 'grieved'. It looked like an iron wire, tightening his heart tighter and tighter, so tight that it made him feel like he was suffocating.

if……

If he had been more restrained back then, how could she have had to suffer such grievances or even humiliation if he had a little bit of principle?

However, when has life been so easy?

Ye Yan irritably pulled off the tie from his collar and threw it into the passenger seat. Then, he took out his mobile phone and called Tang Jifeng.

Tang Jifeng was confused when he heard what he said, "What are you trying to do? Let her go to the hospital on duty at this time."

"Just do as you are told." Ye Yan said, and then warned: "It's just a thought, don't make her really busy. Just let her stay in the hospital lounge and have a good rest."

Tang Jifeng clicked his tongue twice and said, "It's amazing, our Master Ye now finally knows how to write the four words 'love the fragrance and cherish the jade'."

Ye Yan didn't answer the call and just hung up the phone. Then, he stepped on the accelerator and drove the car very fast.

Shu Nian helped Aunt Gui and let Shu Dafu sleep before returning to his room.

When she entered, Xiang Muyang happened to come out of the bathroom. He was naked and had a bath towel wrapped around him, and that bath towel belonged to her.

Shu Nian frowned, picked up the pajamas on the bed, and threw them on him, "Put on your clothes."

When Xiang Muyang picked up the pajamas thrown over by her, he raised his hand and pulled Shu Nian over. The scent of the man after bathing entered Shu Nian's nose. It was obviously a very fragrant scent, but Shu Nian subconsciously refused to dislike it.

And, the most terrible thing is...

At this moment, Ye Yan's bad and sexy face kept popping up in her mind.

even……

Until now, she still clearly remembered that he had kissed and caressed her in the corridor just now...

Thinking of that, her face turned red unconsciously. Xiang Muyang didn't know that she was thinking of another man in her mind. When he looked down and saw her rosy cheeks, he felt his heart beat especially hard. He put his arms around her and rested his chin on Shu Nian's shoulder, "Niannian, do you know how jealous I was when you sent Ye Yan downstairs just now..."

Only after hearing his voice did Shu Nian come back to his senses.

Being so close, she instinctively broke away from Xiang Muyang's hand and took a step back. Xiang Muyang saw her resistance clearly, a trace of hurt flashed across his eyes, and he raised his leg and took another step closer.

Shu Nian looked at him coldly, "Do you still want to abuse me like last time?"

Xiang Muyang's approaching steps paused.

In his subconscious, he actually didn't want to mention the last time. He was not without guilt for that matter. He looked at Shu Nian with a guilty look and held her hand again, "Nian Nian, I was just impulsive last time. I promise that this kind of thing will never happen again. But... the premise is that you can't get so close to Ye Yan again, I will be jealous, very jealous!"
