"Emotions need to be cultivated slowly, and we old guys know this better than you young people."

Mr. Xu looked at Yan Xiaye meaningfully. He didn't even think that, through this incident, leaving aside the truth, he noticed the strengths and strengths of Yan Xiaye's character.

There is no doubt that she can be calm and unhurried in front of him at such an age. No matter how you say it, she is a rare courage. Based on this alone, she is also very suitable to be the eldest granddaughter-in-law of their Xu family.

"Maybe you're right." Very surprised that Mr. Xu still agreed with her and Xu Jiangchuan, Yan Xiaye lowered his head modestly, and said according to the old man's intention: "It happens that Mr. Xu will stay in Jianghai for a while. Since you don't mind, I will continue to keep in touch with him."

"Very well, then it's settled."

Mr. Xu stroked his beard with a smile on his face, and could see that he was very satisfied with Yan Xia Ye's sense of humor, "It's very late, thank you for making a special trip to Xu's house, and I'll let Jiang Chuan take you back later."

Yan Xiaye smiled and shook his head: "It's okay, I will call a car to go back by myself. If Grandpa Xu has no other orders, I will leave first."

The old man waved his hand, his demeanor and tone were more than twice as good as before: "Go."

Leaving the study, Yan Xiaye closed the door with his hand back, raised his hand across his chest and stroked his beating little heart.

Before meeting Mr. Xu today, she thought that her biological father was already very dignified, but only now did she know that there are still mountains higher.

"Miss Yan, how was your talk with Grandpa?"

Xu Jiangchuan guessed that the time was about the same, and when he came over, he happened to see her slapping her chest in shock, and there was a smile in her eyes.

Under the bright and warm light, his handsome face looked extraordinarily refined, and he asked very considerately: "Grandpa, did he say something unpleasant that scared you?"

Yan Xiaye looked up at him in a daze, with a complicated smile hidden in his smile: "No, Grandpa Xu agrees that I will go back to Jianghai first, and we will talk about Yin Mo later."

Even in the face of Xu Jiangchuan, she still kept the secret about Yin Mo.

After all, it was only her guess so far.

Before it was confirmed, it was related to the reputation of Yin Mo and Xu Zixu, so she would not say anything casually.

"Well done." Xu Jiangchuan widened his long and narrow eyes in astonishment, paused for a moment on the door behind Yan Xiaye, and praised her sincerely: "If it were me, I'm afraid I couldn't do better than you. better."

"No, it's just that Grandpa Xu has a lot of people, and he doesn't have the same knowledge as a junior like me." Continuing her usual modest and low-key style, Yan Xiaye regained some strength, took a step forward, and said goodbye in a soft voice: " I'm going back, good night, Mr. Xu, thank you for protecting me just now."

"I'll take you off?" Xu Jiangchuan said subconsciously, and then felt a little abrupt: "If you feel inconvenient, it's the same to ask the driver at home to take you."

"I've already called a car. It's not good to trouble others so late."

Raising the mobile phone in his hand as a signal, Yan Xiaye said goodbye calmly, and walked out of Xu's house at a leisurely pace under the guidance of the maid.

Behind him, Xu Jiangchuan stood tall and tall, staring at her back with a smile on his lips, his eyes were more interested and probing.

In the next second, the door of the study was pushed open from the inside.

He took a step back and said respectfully, "Grandpa."

"Hmm." The old man stared at Xu Jiangchuan with turbid pupils, keenly caught the subtle emotions in his eyes that had not yet dissipated, and suddenly grinned: "You also think that little girl is good?"

"...In a sense, she does have the qualifications to become the young lady of the Xu family."

"Oh? What a coincidence, I think so too, old man. Your mother occasionally mentioned her in front of me these days. It seems that the three of us agree."

When Mr. Xu said this, he patted Xu Jiangchuan on the shoulder playfully, and said meaningfully: "It's a pity that the little girl didn't fall in love with you at first sight. Fortunately, the future will be long. As long as you are willing, there will always be a chance to impress her heart."

"No hurry, I have to take another look..." Xu Jiangchuan pursed his lips and smiled, a bit shy like a big boy in front of his elders: "I have to take another look, what kind of person she is."

The most important thing is—does she already have someone else in her heart?
……

Outside the magnificent carved gate of the Xu family, Yan Xiaye said goodbye to the maid with a smile.

Walking alone on the quiet street in late autumn, she didn't rush to call a car, and walked slowly.

The memories about today in my mind played back like a movie, and finally they were fixed on Li Yuntang.

She couldn't figure out whether it was a coincidence that the man appeared in Xu's house, and she couldn't figure out what he was thinking about Xu Anran. At the same time, she secretly cared about the way he stopped and looked sideways at Yin Mo before he left.

According to the past friendship between him and Yin Mo, it is probably a matter of course that he cares about each other.

So, would he be like the Xu family, suspecting that she pushed Yin Mo down on purpose and wanted to take the opportunity to vent her anger?

Thinking of this, Yan Xiaye angrily kicked away a small stone that rolled down to his feet, his heart seemed to be stuffed with cotton.

She can explain it to Mr. Xu like that, but should she explain it to Li Yuntang in the same way?
Under the premise of no evidence, would he... really believe what she said?
Preoccupied, she stopped, a little unsure whether she should just go back to the hotel to find him.

But apart from the hotel, she seemed to have nowhere to go.

Just as she was tossing and turning, not knowing what to do, a black car blended into the night and parked quietly beside her.

With the dim light of the street lamp, she cautiously looked at the car of unknown origin, and immediately thought of the news in the newspaper that some women walked alone at night and unfortunately disappeared, and her heart beat slightly out of rhythm.

Before she could think about anything else, the black car window slowly lowered in front of her eyes, revealing the man's handsome profile.

The opening is a deep and magnetic voice: "Get in the car."

He...why didn't he leave?

Lowering his eyes with guilt, Yan Xiaye consciously went to the back seat to stay, so that even if he questioned him, he wouldn't feel awkward looking at each other.

A few minutes later, perhaps because the atmosphere was so delicate, her butt moved restlessly on the leather seat.

Looking up at the man's tall and straight back, she found that the man had one hand on the steering wheel, as if he had no intention of starting the car.

"That..." She opened her mouth tentatively, and whispered, "I know you must have something to ask me, can you go back to the hotel first?"

For a whole day, she had been exhausted since last night, and was forced to run around helplessly.

Both physical strength and energy have already been exhausted, and I just want to go back to bed and sleep with my head covered.

But before that, she obviously had to coax the moody old man in front of her, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

"Huh?" In the rearview mirror, the man's narrow and dark pupils glanced at her with a half-smile, stretched out his hand to pat the co-pilot's seat, and said affectionately: "Xia Ye, come here."

Yan Xiaye had a ghost in his heart, and immediately shivered with fright, but he couldn't match the man's aura as deep as Shen Yuan.

Reluctantly moved to the co-pilot's seat, she put on the seat belt by herself, and asked obediently, "Can I leave this time?"

When speaking, she hardly dared to look at Li Yuntang's figure.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the clothes on his body were different from those at the banquet. He had changed into a black coat that was not too thin or too thick, which made him look handsome and young.

Secretly wondering if this dress was changed for Xu Anran, Yan Xiaye pursed his lips, suddenly feeling that this dress didn't seem so good-looking anymore.

Li Yuntang hooked the corners of his lips, tapped the steering wheel lightly with his slender fingers, and there was a rhythmic rustling sound. He said lightly, "Before you go, answer me a question."

"I really didn't know that Yin Mo was pregnant." Yan Xiaye sighed softly, shrunk into the seat weakly, and tried to make his tone as sincere as possible: "I admit that I have a bad relationship with Yin Mo, but it's not that bad. If you insist on killing me, at least I never thought of hurting her with such a lowly means..."

"This is not the answer I want." Li Yuntang cut off her words lightly, and his deep black eyes locked her tightly: "Where is your mobile phone?"

"Put it in... hey?"

Raising her small face to meet the man's gaze, Yan Xiaye almost doubted her own ears, and whispered in confusion, "Is it important to put it in a hotel room?"

Li Yuntang's long and narrow eyes narrowed, his eyes were full of unfathomable danger, and he asked her in a calm manner: "I couldn't reach you when I wanted to find you, do you think it's not important?"

"Well, it sounds like it's a little bit important."

Reluctantly agreeing to the man's question, Yan Xiaye muttered falteringly: "I'm not Xiao Yunduo, and I won't get lost... Wait, what do you want me for?"

She still remembered that at that time she and Ji Liangchen lied that the phone was out of battery, and casually turned off the phone and threw it on the bed, it was about four or five o'clock in the afternoon.

Afterwards, she went out with Xu Jiangchuan and found a familiar image designer to braid her hair. It took another hour or so before she went directly to the banquet, where she met Li Yuntang and Xu Anran.

In other words, the time he called her happened to be between that one or two hours.

With some guesses in his heart, Yan Xiaye's heart beat faster, and he quietly cast his gaze at Li Yuntang, waiting for his answer with mixed feelings.

"At the banquet tonight, I thought you would be my girlfriend." Li Yuntang frowned beautifully, and her voice was so elegant that no harshness could be heard, but it made Yan Xia Ye's hair stand on end: "Now, Xu Jiangchuan is more than Did I move your heart even more, Xia Ye?"

"No, how could it be!"

As soon as the words came out, Yan Xiaye bit her lower lip depressedly, knowing that she had fallen into Li Yuntang's trap again.

This denial sounds at first glance... like an indirect acknowledgment that she has a crush on Li Yuntang.
