"We are really good, Mom." Li Yue looked away.

Even though she didn't admit it, Li's mother could tell.

Li's mother continued, "Yueyue, I told you back then that Gu Qingze was not suitable for you, but you refused to listen to me. Now that you and Xiaoxu are married, you'd better get rid of all those miscellaneous thoughts. Did you hear that?"

Listening to his mother's serious tone, Li Yue's thoughts traveled back to the past at that moment.

When I was a child, my parents actually did not reject the contact between Li Yue and Gu Qingze.

At least sometimes when Gu Qingze comes to visit, his parents warmly welcome him.

However, after discovering that Li Yue wanted to be with Gu Qingze, their attitude changed very hard.

Her parents told her more than once that she could be friends with Gu Qingze, but as a partner, Gu Qingze was definitely not the best candidate.

At first, Li Yue ignored her parents' dissuasion, thinking that they simply didn't want to make her feel better.

It was not until today, many years later, that Li Yue finally realized that her parents actually saw far more clearly than she did.

After coming back to his senses, Li Yue looked at his worried mother and smiled slightly: "Mom, I know that I won't do anything stupid again."

Hearing this, Li's mother breathed a sigh of relief and smiled happily: "Yueyue, you have really grown up."

Li's mother took Li Yue's hand and patted it gently. Then she suddenly thought of something and said, "What you have to do now is to live a good life with Xiaoxu. I can see that you two have been having conflicts these days. .”

Li Yue's eyes wandered and she said harshly: "How can there be?"

"Since there was no quarrel, then why didn't you and Xiaoxu talk to each other, and why was he angry with you?"

"He's angry with me...can you tell?" Li Yue opened her mouth slightly, but soon realized that she had accidentally let something slip, and she quickly fell silent.

Li's mother looked like "I knew it" and said, "What happened?"

"Actually, it's just some misunderstanding..."

After recuperating in the hospital for a week or two, Jiang Xu returned home.

As soon as he entered the door, Jiang Xu was pulled by Mrs. Zhang to look around, "Master, how are you? Are you feeling better?"

Before Jiang Xu could answer, a layer of tears appeared in her eyes: "It's all my fault. I didn't notice that you were sick, and I was negligent for a moment. If Madam hadn't found out in time, if something happened to you, I would have been in trouble for the rest of my life. I can’t even forgive myself…”

"Sister-in-law Zhang, don't blame yourself too much. He is much better." Li Yue tried to smooth things over.

"I'm fine. It's getting late today. You should go back and rest first." Jiang Xu said lightly.

While accompanying Jiang Xu upstairs, Li Yue couldn't help but repeatedly echo what her mother had said to her a few days ago.

She had always behaved herself in front of Jiang Xu and did not dare to disobey him easily for fear of accidentally touching his minefield.

What the mother said... was tantamount to asking her to push herself into a pit of fire.

"The best preservative to maintain a marriage is the relationship between the couple. It's not okay for you two to remain unfamiliar with each other."

Getting acquainted with Jiang Xu is not an easy task.

Li Yue glanced at him quickly.

Until Jiang Xu reached the door of the room, Li Yue still didn't know how to say what was in her heart.

Finally, Jiang Xu looked at her and broke the silence: "Is there anything else?"

Li Yue knew that an eviction order had been issued.

She looked confused, "Well, actually..."

She hesitated for a long time without telling her why. Jiang Xu seemed to have no patience to listen to her, so he walked into the room and prepared to close the door.

Li Yue was anxious, and she subconsciously raised her hand to block the crack in the door to stop him.

Jiang Xu's action of closing the door was interrupted. He raised his dark eyes and looked at her again, his eyes slightly cold.

Feeling inexplicably nervous under his gaze, Li Yue swallowed a mouthful of saliva unconsciously and still stood where she was.

She thought for a while and finally made up her mind and said, "How about I come with you tonight? I... You have only been ill for a few days. It is always good to have someone to take care of you."

As she said that, she immediately lowered her head in panic and stared at her toes.

What should I do? It’s so shameful to say this.

Li Yue didn't dare to raise her head for fear of meeting Jiang Xu's indifferent gaze.

In his peripheral vision, Jiang Xu turned slightly on his toes and walked towards the house.

Li Yue's heart sank.

It seemed that he didn't want to pay attention to her.

A man who knows the current affairs is a hero. Li Yue grasped the corner of his clothes and prepared to move back to his room.

Just as she was about to turn around, Jiang Xu stopped in the room and asked, "You haven't come in yet, are you planning to guard the door for me outside tonight?"

Eh?Li Yue was stunned for a moment, then raised his head in shock. Then he realized belatedly, was he agreeing?

Realizing that he was not mistaken, Li Yue walked in quickly and closed the door behind him.

Although they had not slept in the same room before, there were two wardrobes in Jiang Xu's room all year round, one for his own clothes, and the other for the latest women's clothing.

Li Yue heard from people below that Jiang Xu would ask people to update these clothes every quarter. Even though she had never worn them, his habit had never changed.

Li Yue rarely slept with him. Speaking of it, such a scene only happened three times.

Once tonight and once on the wedding day.

Another time, it was the night when she tried to steal his design manuscript without even using herself as a bargaining chip.

It wasn't even a night, though, as the two of them broke up soon after she was discovered.

Li Yue suppressed her pounding heart, struggled in front of the closet for a long time, and took out a pair of pajamas.

She absentmindedly finished taking a bath, looked at herself in the mirror, and became lost in thought.

This dress tonight was chosen carefully by her.

This is a white deep V suspender belt. Fortunately, the skirt is slightly longer, which makes her feel a little more secure.

My mother said this was the best way to change the situation.

Li Yue slowly exhaled, feeling uneasy in her heart.

She actually had the illusion that she had been sold.

After thinking about it, she walked out of the bathroom.

The sound of her opening the door startled Jiang Xu who was beside the bed, causing him to look this way.

Li Yue almost held her breath to accept his inspection of herself.

She filled up many pictures and possible scenarios in her mind. She saw Jiang Xu's eyes darkened slightly and stood up.

Seeing him approaching, Li Yue's eyes flashed with nervousness. She pursed her lips slightly and stood stiffly, waiting for Jiang Xu's next move.

When Jiang Xu walked up to him, Li Yue almost wanted to close her eyes tightly, but she still held it back.

He walked closer and closer, and his eyes seemed to fall on her for a few seconds, and then——

Passed by her without hesitation.

Li Yue's tense heart was instantly replaced by countless confusions.

Hearing the sound of the door closing behind her, she almost immediately rushed to the closet mirror, falling into endless self-doubt.
