Yan Xinyi knew that it was Ye Mingchao's mother Hu Man as soon as she heard it, which was obviously belittling her, but at this time, she was relieved. She turned around slowly, and was taken aback again, in addition to Hu Man, Ye Shizhong also came, and Zhong Kenan also stood beside Luo Shuwen, he should have heard Luo Shuwen and Hu Man's words just now. His expression was indifferent and his attitude was erratic, which made her inexplicably a little weak-hearted. I didn't dare to look at him more, just greeted him politely: "Chairman Ye, Mrs. Ye, hello." ”

"Hello, Miss Forensic Doctor." Ye Shizhong's words were gentle and smiling.

Hu Man's eyes were also smiling, but Yan Xinyi saw hostility and ridicule in those eyes. A self-defense instinct made her can't help but straighten her back.

"You little forensic doctor is very powerful, I've only known each other for a long time, so let us Mingchao hold such a grand birthday party for you." Hu Man's tone seemed sarcastic and sarcastic.

"It's called love at first sight." Luo Shuwen looked at Yan Xinyi with a smile.

Hu Man stared at Yan Xinyi, his eyes full of criticism, "The future daughter-in-law in my mind must be able to meet the standards of Shu Wen, from family background, cultivation to appearance, you don't meet it." ”

Yan Xinyi smiled dumbly, what is this, you don't look down on me, I don't care about being your daughter-in-law.

"Mom, tonight is a birthday party, not a family meeting." Ye Mingchao used a half-joking tone, but his eyes were slightly cold, obviously very dissatisfied with his mother's words, but it was not good to confront him face to face.

Hu Man's agitation made the atmosphere of the scene suddenly become quite embarrassing, and the men and women who were originally laughing and coaxing did not dare to say anything. Zhong Kenan had a cold face, and Luo Shuwen had a good look.

Yan Xinyi's heart was filled with self-deprecation and funny feelings. She smiled, and her usual naughtiness floated on her lips again, "Mrs. Ye, you think too much, even if it is a marriage recruitment conference, it has nothing to do with me." I'm just here to join in the fun, Mr. Ye's birthday, it's better to be happy alone than to be happy. ”

Hu Man sneered, "In front of the elders, I don't understand any politeness. ”

"Why don't I know how to be polite?" Hu Man's critical gaze and sarcastic tone made Yan Xinyi's stubborn and proud instinct no longer be suppressed, and he rushed out, "It's Mrs. Ye who doesn't know how to be polite, you haven't even figured out what the situation is, just."

Belittled me in public. Although I am not interested in becoming your daughter-in-law, I still want to say that I don't feel that I am inferior to Miss Luo Shuwen, and my family background and appearance are all given by others, not by my own efforts. As for self-cultivation, he always looks down on people, is there cultivation? It is enough for me to be self-reliant and self-reliant, and to stand on my own feet in society. ”

Luo Shuwen's face turned pale, but in front of Zhong Kenan, she had to maintain self-cultivation, so she could only endure it and not have a seizure.

Ye Mingchao gave Yan Xinyi a thumbs up behind Hu Man, and some other people also showed appreciative glances at Yan Xinyi. The expression on Zhong Kenan's face was complex and unfathomable.

Hu Man's gaze was like two sharp arrows shooting at Yan Xinyi, she wanted to teach this little girl a good lesson, but Ye Shizhong stopped her: "Today is a happy day, a gathering of young people, or leave space for them." We have our next event, don't be late. ”

"Young people's gatherings cannot be unorthodox." Hu Man is unrelenting, "There should also be a rule, not just anyone can participate, especially ...... like this"

"Mom, for my birthday party, I have the right to choose who to invite." Ye Mingchao couldn't help it, and his tone became heavier.

"Alright, if there's anything to say another day, it's time for us to go." Ye Shizhong played a round, his voice was neither high nor low, calmly, but he calmed down an argument. He put his arm around Hu Man's shoulder, looking very gentle, Hu Man was unwilling, but in the end he was taken away by Ye Shizhong.

Ye Mingchao watched his parents go away, with such a deep contemplation in his eyebrows, he regained his smile after a while, and said to the people around him in a relaxed tone: "I'm sorry, a little situation has ruined everyone's interest." I hope everyone's mood will not be affected, and then it will be dinner time, so enjoy the food and have fun. ”

The crowd cheered and dispersed, and the little turmoil just now seemed to have passed without a trace.

"Xinyi, I'm so sorry, I didn't expect my mother to come and embarrass you in public. What was supposed to be a great joy actually put you in this situation. Ye Mingchao frowned, and sighed with a long sigh, "Alas! ”

Yan Xinyi shrugged his shoulders and smiled indifferently, "It's okay, just take it as a small episode to help the fun." ”

"I especially appreciate your straightforward character." Ye Mingchao suddenly said with emotion, "You are a very real and cute girl, I like you very much, and I hope to ...... it."

"Thank you for the like." Yan Xinyi interrupted him in time, "But I'm grumbling with hunger right now, I have to find something to eat first." ”

Ye Mingchao smiled helplessly, at this time, a friend happened to come over and wanted to talk to Ye Mingchao about something, Yan Xinyi quickly took off the crystal crown on his head and put it on the table next to him, and slipped away.

Zhong Kenan is gone, and Luo Shuwen is nowhere to be found. Yan Xinyi was a little frustrated, he made such a fuss tonight, I don't know what he would think of him?

The dinner is a buffet, the dishes are very rich, the delicacies of the mountains and the sea, everything you need. Yan Xinyi didn't have an appetite, she searched around for Zhong Kenan's figure to no avail, thinking that he might have left without saying hello, what about Luo Shuwen, who also left with him?

Thinking about where the two might have gone together, she had no appetite even more, but she had to get something, otherwise it would look very different. She walked to the dining table, grabbed something to eat, and quickly left, finding a corner away from the crowd and sitting. It was already too conspicuous just now, and now she just wanted to hide herself deeply, and it was better that no one noticed her, and find an excuse to get out after eating.

The string quartet plays romantic and soothing music, and the night breeze blows softly, bringing with it the scent of an unknown floral and the fragrance of fine wine. This was an intoxicating night, but Yan Xinyi had a feeling of being oppressed, she sighed, her eyes drifted not far away, there was a small bamboo forest, the branches and leaves swayed with the wind, she suddenly wanted to breathe in the bamboo forest, so she put aside a plate of food, got up and walked towards the bamboo forest.

When I got closer, I found that the bamboo forest was quite large, and what was very special was that there was a red wall in the middle, and the path meandered through the bamboo forest, with red walls on both sides, and there was such a simple and quiet place in the luxurious modern villa. She walked into the red wall covered by green bamboo, and outside the wall on both sides were dense bamboos, and the warm yellow light penetrated the bamboo forest, and the mottled bamboo shadows cast on the red wall. When the wind blows the bamboo leaves, the green bamboo that spreads over the wall sways softly overhead, and the bamboo shadows on the red wall also shake, and the light and shadow are colorful.

Stepping on the gravel-paved, winding road, walking in the quiet beauty of the red wall and bamboo shadows, Yan Xinyi felt relaxed and happy, and forgot to return. She turned a corner and was momentarily stunned, and Zhong Kenan's figure actually appeared in front of her, and he happened to turn from the other end of the road. The two paused at the same time, Zhong Kenan stood there, not moving, just staring at her with a pair of eyes as silent as a deep pool, staring at her for an instant, and the mottled bamboo shadow was cast on his face, light and dark.

Yan Xinyi stood there in a daze, the series of accidents that had happened just now made her dizzy, and Zhong Kenan's gaze made her dizzy and intoxicated. They looked at each other like this, and neither of them spoke, and finally, she couldn't help asking, "Why are you here?" What about Luo Shuwen? ”

"Outside of work, I don't have the right to inquire about my assistant's whereabouts." He seemed to deliberately emphasize that Luo Shuwen was just his assistant, and then asked rhetorically, "Why are you here?" ”

"I ...... I ......," she had always been sharp-tongued, but now she had become clumsy, "I can't find you...... And then...... I saw this bamboo forest...... I was attracted to it......"

"Is there something wrong with me?" He asked lightly, clasping his hands on his chest, looking indifferent, arrogant, and condescending.

She originally wanted to explain, explain that she had nothing to do with Ye Mingchao, and explain that tonight's inexplicable birthday party had been completely kept in the dark before. However, his attitude made her very dissatisfied, so she suddenly didn't want to explain anything, and smiled faintly at the same time, "It's okay, I just saw that you suddenly disappeared, and I want to know where you went, and now I know." It's a nice place, so I'm going to keep shopping. ”

She said this, but she was actually very worried that he had misunderstood and was eager to clarify. So she lowered her head, and stepped forward with some thoughts, but before she could stand still, a hand was suddenly grasped, and she turned her head in shock, and the indifference in his eyes was gone, replaced by a look of burning heat. She had never seen him look like this, and she was taken aback, "What are you holding my hand for?" ”

He didn't answer, but slowly raised his other hand and touched her forehead. His palms were so hot that she went limp, and she stood there, overwhelmed.

"Don't want to say something?" He finally opened his mouth in a low voice.

In an instant, she understood his intentions, and he touched her forehead, that was because, at the birthday party, Ye Mingchao kissed her forehead.

"I don't remember that today is my birthday, and of course I don't know Ye Mingchao's arrangement." She whispered as if she was being hypnotized, "He kissed me on the forehead, it was his sneak attack, and I was defenseless......"

Before she could finish speaking, she was frightened again, and he bowed his head to her, and the hot breath blew on her face, and she almost suffocated.
