Shiratori

Even the family banquet has such strict protective measures, it seems that the other party's pheromone escape is even more abrupt.Although Ye Chen played it lightly when he mentioned it at the beginning, it is not difficult to see that the child was indeed pampered to grow up.

Shen Xie rationally understood that she should get up and avoid it, even if this cousin really meant something to Ye Chen, the other party's housework was not something she could casually meddle in.

What's more, who Ye Chen will marry in the end is actually the Ye family's own housework.

However, at the same time, there was another voice in my heart:

I was brought here by Ye Chen, and now that Alpha has not spoken, how can I leave casually.

——And at this moment, he really wanted to know how Ye Chen would define his identity when he was asked like this.

However, Ye Chen finally just smiled.

Alpha's expression was always stern, and the slightly raised corners of his lips didn't look like a gentle expression.

The subtle silence in the air seemed to be stretched for a moment, Shen Xie just raised her mind a little, and then felt a familiar breath approaching unexpectedly.

A soft exhalation sounded beside my ears: "If you don't want to eat, go upstairs and rest first."

Before he could react, another key was stuffed into his hand: "The second-to-last room on the right along the corridor."

When the palm of her hand felt the other party's touch, Shen Xie was so frightened that she almost stood up, but was stuck in place by Ye Chen's hand. The Omega on the opposite side was also obviously taken aback by this turn of events. There was no time to hide her gaze, and she just stared straight at her. come over.

"Go." Ye Chen probably didn't think it was enough, he continued to pat Shen Xie's hand, and then turned his eyes back again.

So when Shen Xie got up with the key, she was still a little ignorant.

But that cousin was obviously more impatient than him, and when Shen Xie passed by him, she heard a whisper, gnashing her teeth, obviously speaking to him: "There are many people who like Ye Chen."

There are many people who like Ye Chen, what are you——Shen Xie automatically completed the second half of this sentence in her heart, and was finally brought back to her sanity a little bit.

In the second half of the banquet, the lights would always become extraordinarily dazzling. Shen Xie didn't say anything more. When she got up, she nodded slightly and said goodbye to the two people who stayed where they were, and immediately there were aunts or maids. Seeing him get up, people came over and led him upstairs.

But when walking in the winding corridors of the old house, Shen Xie couldn't help being a little amazed.

What is a big family? For many people, this word may be closer to a concept that exists in writing or imagination. To be honest, until today, Shen Xie thought that she would not be closer to the connotation of this definition. .

However, Ye's mansion looks like a medieval castle—the word castle may not be accurate, because it does not have that dark and gloomy feeling. On the contrary, although it is an old house, it can be seen that it has been carefully maintained and has a kind of precipitation. down the nobility.

Not long after leaving the hall where the banquet was being held, even the noisy voices there could hardly be heard, and the air became silent.Shen Xie vaguely remembered Ye Chen pointing out a room for herself, but seeing the sure look of the servant leading the way, she didn't speak.

It has to be said that the employing staff in the big family are also well-trained. Although they don't know Shen Xie, they still maintain a restrained etiquette, and they will not be overly attentive, but obviously they will not make people feel neglected.Shen Xie lived in a relatively simple environment from childhood to adulthood, but after he started earning money, he inevitably encountered all kinds of life forms. What is certain is that he has never seen such people in his previous life. Although Sister Wu is capable, but such A comparison is not a level.

While walking, I couldn't help but think about it casually.Ye Chen didn't say anything more just now, but in terms of the result, it did resolve the tense atmosphere between him and his cousin.

So the Alpha who grew up in such a magnificent house would really be so demanding in the details that he would care about the embarrassing situation faced by an insignificant Omega at that moment.

Or it's really just a casual sentence, don't take it to heart at all.

The aunt who led the way walked without making any sound, and only stopped when she led Shen Xie to the door of a room, and turned around to give a slight signal.

Shen Xie nodded with her, and when she walked in, she realized that this was not Alpha's bedroom as she had imagined.

It is not a place like a living room. If I have to say it, it may be like a place like a rest room.

The room was carpeted to match the corridor outside, with a couch against the wall and a coat rack behind the door.Facing the sofa, there is a bookcase and a storage table. On the walls on both sides are windows on one side and a huge oil painting on the other.

Shen Xie recognized that the oil painting was the authentic work of a deceased master. Some works of this master may not be very popular in the auction house, but he has actually been included in the textbooks of art schools, so that it is like Students like Shen Xie have grown up watching his theories from generation to generation, and they are also relatively unique in the industry.

He sat on the sofa and stared at the painting for a while, hesitating whether he should go across to get a book to read.

After all, Ye Chen didn't know when he would come back again, before that he could only stay here.

It didn't take long for the previous maid to bring tea and snacks, but that was all.

In front of him was an unknown and long time that could not be passed away. It seemed that just walking two steps in this strange mansion would trigger some unknown mechanism, maybe even blasphemy.

He could only stand where he was, waiting for someone who didn't know if or when he would come.

Just as I was about to stand up and act on the idea of ​​"get a random book," something else happened.

It's white orchids, Shen Xie is not sure if she smelled it wrong, but it is indeed this fragrance, similar to but different from her own pheromone, a more authentic and fresher smell.

The door of the room was pushed open in the next second, before Shen Xie even had time to stand up from the sofa, she froze in place again.

He also made some guesses before the people outside the door came in. He thought that the best option should be the maid who had gone and returned, if not, it would be better to be an unknown guest.

But he really didn't expect that the other party would be a character of this level.

It's that Omega - as Ye Chen pointed out to him a few hours ago, Alpha's biological mother, the real owner of this house and manor in a certain sense.

However, there was only one other person at this time, and Shen Xie had already stayed in the rest room for a while, and when she looked at the other party under the light at this time, the dignified or graceful aura seemed to fade a little.

Familiar occasions will give people confidence, even if he only sits here for less than 10 minutes, it seems to be an almost blind sense of security.

Moreover, Shen Xie also discovered that the source of the scent she smelled earlier was several bunches of white orchids held by Ye Mu.

This feeling is very strange.

To be honest, Mother Ye really doesn't look like someone her age. Before, across the hall, he and Ye Chen were almost half a diagonal away from the round table of the female relatives, so this kind of experience was not so obvious. Looking closer, the female Omega in front of her was so petite that Shen Xie felt as if she was the same age as her.

It seems that the same age is not accurate, it is just a kind of trade-off statement under the comparison of the two. Another way of saying it is: in this room, it seems that the person who needs to be protected is not him, but the other party.

Those bunches of white orchids were being held in the hands of the other party. The fresh petals should have been drenched with a stream of clear water. Now they were illuminated by the silent light above their heads, and they felt a sense of transpiration and fragility.

"It's you." Mother Ye smiled quickly, "You came with Ye Chen, I just saw you."

That's when things seemed to get a little bit back on track.

At least this kind of ability to just sit in a corner of the hall and pay attention to all the guests, Shen Xie absolutely does not have it.Needless to say, he followed Ye Chen into the Grand View Garden today, even if he was in a place he was familiar with, he might not be able to remember every stranger present so clearly.

But surprisingly, Ye Mu's tone was very gentle, and she didn't seem to have any intention of inquiring or questioning the relationship between him and Ye Chen.Generally, the parents of this kind of family, when they see their Alpha son bringing an unknown Omega to a family dinner one day, they will call him for questioning right away, and they must find out afterwards.

In contrast, Mother Ye's attitude was very calm from the moment she entered the door and found him here to the first sentence she spoke. Shen Xie didn't know for a moment whether she really didn't have any thoughts, or she was really reserved. Good enough to face everyone with the same face.

"I thought there was no one here." Mother Ye quickly continued, still in that clear and gentle tone, "I just wanted to change flowers."

The flower strings in the whole mansion were changed by her herself, and they were scattered in hidden places. For decades, she hadn't touched a servant or anyone else.The flowers in the flowering period will be kept fresh in ice, and they will be replaced with dried flowers when the days are longer. In fact, there are not many rooms where the white orchid bracelets are actually placed. Most of them are the places where she usually stays, as long as a few flowers It can exude that kind of endless fragrance for a long time.

"I used to grow up in the south." Mother Ye seemed to be chatting, maybe because there was another person in the room, so she couldn't completely ignore him out of hospitality.Shen Xie watched her walk in, and sure enough, she took out a small box from the back of the bookcase, took out the dried flower strings inside, and hung up the new bracelets:

"When I was young, my aunt at home would use this flower to make necklaces and bracelets, and I still like it very much until now."

Mother Ye changed the flower string and turned around, she seemed a little embarrassed: "I just laughed."

She walked back from the bookcase, and when she passed by Shen Xie, she seemed to casually say: "Ye Chen is a good boy."

Omega's voice and footsteps are very steady, with a light tail sound that seems to have no waves:

"If he can find someone he likes, I will be very happy too."

——From here to the other party walking out of the door, Shen Xie didn't recover from the state of being shocked until the door of this room was gently closed in front of her:

The one who just walked out of this room was actually Ye Chen's mother.

Because of Alpha's relationship, he inevitably had some imaginations or vague guesses about the family behind Ye Chen, but no matter what kind of assumptions, Ye's "mistress" does not seem to be like this one person.

Of course, the other party has all the temperament and advantages of an Omega from a big family. Even at this time, Shen Xie has had such close contact with her, and she still cannot deny this.

But at the same time, the other party's traits that are fragile because they are too delicate, even the absolute perfection, seem to be a shadow that will hang over people's hearts, because they cannot be seen through temporarily, but form an invisible Indescribable pressure.

So much so that even the description about "the person I like" failed to leave a deep imprint at this time.

For a moment, Shen Xie suddenly thought, is there a fraction of Ye Chen's kindness towards her because her pheromone just happened to be of this flavor?

So I thought I should be such an Omega.

It's a bit funny to think about it like this, a taste that has been missed by the Omega in the deep house for more than ten years or even decades, Alpha himself may never really experience it, but it is inevitably deep in his consciousness.

Even Ye Chen's mother—Shen Xie couldn't help but wonder, would she miss the real white orchids, that string of petite flowers that bloomed in the courtyard in the south, carrying the fresh and humid water vapor in early summer, since they came to the north. Become a phantom that can only survive in the dark box in the corner.

I must have missed it.But as an Omega from one glass box to another, maybe the love of a lifetime is like a fate that is seen in the fog.

It's hard not to come back to the question that had vaguely troubled him before: Or is it just because they "are an Omega" that they have to bear all this.

Shen Xie didn't know if this was an illusion of her own, after all, members of big families were probably always more reserved and dignified, and it would be a little impolite to judge each other's life situation just based on such a face-to-face meeting.

What's more, he hadn't seen a few characters similar to elders before, maybe every lady should look like this at this age.

However, the next second the phone in his pocket vibrated slightly again.
