Chapter 23: Mu Chen
"Come and have a try. ”
The table in the dining room was covered with a light grass green tablecloth, and several plates on it contained delicious food, and the slight heat indicated that they were definitely freshly baked.
"You did it?"
I can't believe it, what is going on with Shen Xuyan today, he came back inexplicably, chatted with her so calmly for some reason, and the two of them took a nap inexplicably, and now they are up...... Shen Xuyan also made dinner himself......
All this today is too peaceful, and it is precisely because of this calm that it seems extremely strange.
Everything is different from the usual, as if everything is not quite right, is it that somewhere the clock has been tampered with, and everything is starting to show up incorrectly?
"Did you see anyone else?"
Shen Xuyan ignored the inquiry in Yan Ruo's eyes, and didn't pay attention to Yan Ruo's incomprehension in his heart, sat down and drank a bowl of soup for himself, which was completely ignored by Yan Ruo.
Is there anything else you can do now?
Yan Ruo silently weighed it in his heart, and then sat next to Shen Xuyan and prepared to have dinner.
"It's been a long time since I've been so laid-back, I'll be staying here for the next two days, and I don't want to be disturbed so I let the servants have a holiday. ”
"Oh. ”
and their normal dinner table conversations, they are so smooth and quiet with each other.
At this moment, his heart is constantly beating wildly.
In other words, Shen Xuyan will live here for a short time, and they will live here alone with the two of them!
Thinking of this fact, Yan Ruo's heart became more and more complicated.
Yan Ruo, who was unstable, was thinking about her own affairs in a trance, completely unaware that Shen Xuyan had stopped moving at this moment, looking at her and frowning.
"Don't you want to?"
"Huh, what?"
Because he was immersed in his own world, Yan Ruo didn't hear what Shen Xuyan was saying just now, and subconsciously asked.
But she didn't want to be absent-minded, in the originally peaceful atmosphere, Shen Xuyan suddenly reached out and grabbed her chin, forcing Yan Ruo to look at him well.
"Yanruo, don't forget that you signed a contract, and now you are just my mistress, and you are not qualified to say that you are unwilling, understand?"
In a word, all the warmth before completely collapsed.
“…… I understand. ”
Listening to Yan Ruo's answer, the force in Shen Xuyan's hand did not lighten, so he forced Yan Ruo to look at him, and he also looked at Yan Ruo's eyes.
Those eyes were clear and transparent, and they had always attracted him so much, so deep, so beautiful......
At this moment, Yan Ruo's eyes were full of heartache, humiliation, and ...... A deep resignation......
"It's good to understand, let's eat. ”
The anger that erupted in an instant also dissipated in an instant, Shen Xuyan let go of his hand, and the dinner table once again returned to a quiet atmosphere.
It's just that both of them are preoccupied, and a meal is more of an instinctive swallowing than eating.
Yan Ruo, who was sitting silently, forcibly endured his emotions, and the hand holding the chopsticks was trembling.
Shen Xuyan's words could make all her defenses seem so vulnerable so easily.
If you say it, even if you don't know why Shen Xuyan suddenly treated you so well, now you are just a transaction...... You sold yourself...... You sold yourself, you know!
Tears fell silently in the bowl, mixed with food, and little by little they were swallowed back into his body again.
In the study of the villa.
Shen Xuyan looked at the photo frame on the table in a daze.
How could he not see everything that had just happened at the dinner table?
Originally, because of the relationship between his family, he had been completely annoyed, and he had been running back and forth between the company and the family for the past few days, and he was so tired that he wanted to come here to see Yanruo.
When he saw Yan Ruo standing in the courtyard, his long hair blown by the wind, and the faint smile when he faced Zhang's mother, he suddenly felt relaxed, and suddenly decided to stay here for a few days.
Originally, everything was fine, and even when he woke up, he would unconsciously feel relieved when he saw Yan Ruo lying obediently in his arms and sleeping face.
It had been a long, long time since that feeling of calm, and he didn't want it to go away at all, no matter what his original intentions were, he didn't want to let that feeling of comfort go away.
But at the dinner table just now, Yan Ruo's absent-mindedness made him start to become irritable for no reason, and he couldn't control those words, the purpose was just to let Yan Ruo accompany him well, so that he could relax here.
It's just that...... Since they met again, he didn't seem to be able to treat Yan Ruo well, those hurtful words, he subconsciously said it, looking at Yan Ruo's silent tears but pretending to be fine, Shen Xuyan felt even more irritable.
Just when Shen Xuyan irritably closed the photo frame on the table, there was a knock on the door of the study.
Now in this villa, except for him, it is Yan Ruo, and naturally the person who knocked on the door is Yan Ruo.
"Come in. ”
Immediately, the door was opened.
"What's the matter?"
"I'm here to ask where you're sleeping tonight. ”
In fact, Yan Ruo came here just to ask her where she slept at night, and she didn't think that after dinner, Shen Xuyan would sleep with her after spending a few hours alone in the study.
But once again, Yan Ruo guessed Shen Xuyan's mind wrong.
"Bedrooms. ”
Frowning, what is this woman doing, what does it mean to ask him this question?
Shen Xuyan's inner irritability was even stronger, but he tried to suppress his emotions, especially when he saw the bandage on Yan Ruo's arm, that anger was slowly suppressed by him.
"Oh. ”
Answering, Yan Ruo was about to turn around and go back to the room with a slight loss, but was stopped by Shen Xuyan before leaving.
Immediately, Shen Xuyan got up and walked over, so naturally he took Yan Ruo's hand and pulled her straight back to the bedroom.
"Where's the pajamas?"
"Uh...... I do not know...... It was probably put in the wardrobe by Zhang's mother......"
Yan Ruo, who was taken back to the bedroom, thought that Shen Xuyan asked where he put his pajamas and wanted to change them, but he was interrupted by Shen Xuyan before he could finish speaking.
"I'm asking about your pajamas. ”
Looking at Shen Xuyan's impatient expression, Yan Ruo silently pointed to the cabinet next to the bed.
didn't know where she was annoying Shen Xuyan again, but since she knew her position very clearly, she didn't want to be humiliated by Shen Xuyan three times and twice, so Yan Ruo chose to be quiet.
Immediately, Shen Xuyan took Yan Ruo and sat on the edge of the bed and began to undress Yan Ruo.
"What do you do!"
Yan Ruo, who was frightened by Shen Xuyan's movements, subconsciously covered the buttons of his clothes with one hand.
"Help you change your pajamas, do you think you can change them with one hand?"
Frowning, Shen Xuyan found that he was more and more disgusted to see Yan Ruo's defensive look towards him.
Because of Shen Xuyan's words, Yan Ruo was noncommittal, but he thought about changing his pajamas and going to bed quickly, so that everything would be fine, and Yan Ruo slowly let go of his hand.
However, when Shen Xuyan changed her nightdress, Yan Ruo's heartbeat was still slightly faster, and she didn't want to look up and drive him.
It's just that just when Yan Ruo thought that he could go to sleep like this, Shen Xuyan opened his mouth again.
"Let's go, brush your teeth and wash your face. ”
In the past, it was something that Zhang's mother helped Yan Ruo do, but today it became Shen Xuyan for the first time, which made Yan Ruo completely confused about what he was thinking.
So when the two of them were lying quietly on the bed, Yan Ruo looked at the hollow wall lamp designed by a famous artist on the ceiling, and suddenly said: "Shen Xuyan, if you just want to find a mistress, you don't need to do these things." ”
This seems to be the first time that Yan Ruo has said that he is a mistress in front of Shen Xuyan, and few people may be able to understand the bitterness.
That kind of self-deprecating behavior.
"Sleep. ”
However, Shen Xuyan only replied with two words simply, as usual in a cold tone, making it impossible to guess his thoughts, and he didn't know what he wanted to do.
Yan Ruo had no choice but to shut up and sleep.
Since the president is reluctant to say what he wants, as a mistress kept by others, what position does he have to ask?
Just when Yan Ruo was about to fall asleep, the phone that had not rang for a long time suddenly rang in the quiet night, completely destroying Yan Ruo's sleepiness.
Even Shen Xuyan opened his eyes irritably.
"Sorry...... There could be something urgent......
Ignoring Yan Ruo's apology, Shen Xuyan turned over and ignored her, and Yan Ruo had no choice but to get out of bed first to answer the phone.
When she picked up the phone and saw the number that she was no longer familiar with, she looked back at Shen Xuyan, only to find that he had already sat up.
"Why don't you pick up?"
It's obviously a simple asking sentence, but in the dark night, Yan Ruo doesn't know why he is slightly afraid.
"Nothing, it's an advertising call. ”
Subconsciously, Yan Ruo chose to hide from Shen Xuyan and hung up the phone directly.
"Oh?"
Shen Xuyan, who also got up from the bed, took a coat and walked over, casually draped it on Yan Ruo's body, and the next sentence made Yan Ruo's heart beat faster.
"It turns out that Muchen is just an advertising pitch for you, right?"
How did he know!
The flustered Yan Ruo didn't dare to look at Shen Xuyan's expression, and he didn't know how to speak, all of this jumping out of her orbit made Yan Ruo feel inexplicably uneasy.
"He ......"
"Don't you have to call back now? Maybe it's an urgent matter so late, what do you say?"
Immediately, Shen Xuyan's cold voice made Yan Ruo's heart beat faster and faster, as if Yan Ruo had really done something unusually excessive at this moment, which was so excessive that it touched Shen Xuyan's bottom line, and then Shen Xuyan would explode at any time.
"I ......"
Without waiting for Yan Ruo to answer, Shen Xuyan suddenly walked towards the bedroom door.
"Aren't you sleeping?"
Seeing that Shen Xuyan was leaving, Yanruo subconsciously stopped him.
