Chapter 13: Eat when you're done

The sound of the wooden screen smashing finally alarmed Aunt Zhao in the kitchen, and she rushed out with a spatula.

"What's wrong? Ah Yan ...... Ayi?! Aunt Zhao glanced at it and made sure that Tang Yan had not fallen and been injured, and all her attention was focused on Yi Xianchen.

"You're here! What's going on on the news?! ”

Yi Xianchen didn't answer Aunt Zhao's words, he hugged Tang Yan from behind, and he could feel her body trembling slightly.

The palm he held Tang Yan's left wrist slowly stretched forward, and the wide palm wrapped the girl's entire little hand. "Scaring you?"

Tang Yan shook her head quickly, forcing herself to calm down. Breaking away from Yi Xianchen's palm, he stretched out his hands in the direction of Aunt Zhao.

Aunt Zhao took a few steps over and led the person and clinged to her closely. "It's okay."

Tang Yan nodded, and then said to Yi Xianchen, "Why are you here?" ”

Tang Yan obviously rejected him, and no matter how dull he was, he could feel it. Yi Xianchen stared at her for several seconds.

Tang Yan pursed her lips and said tentatively, "Can we talk?" ”

Aunt Zhao and the second monk were at a loss, what was it to talk about so formally, they had to avoid her.

Tang Yan was afraid that Aunt Zhao would definitely explode when she heard the word divorce, so she pointed in the direction of the kitchen, "It seems to be mushy." ”

"Huh?" There was still meat stewed on the stove, and Aunt Zhao hurriedly went in.

At first glance, it's not confused. When they came out again, Tang Yan and Yi Xianchen had already entered the collection room next to them.

"Brother, I'm sorry. I'm dragging you down. Tang Yan began by apologizing.

She sat on the Huanghuali Taishi chair that Grandpa Tang used to sit on before his death, with her right hand on the armrest, and her fingertips unconsciously rubbed the old wood that had been pulped.

It feels warm to the touch, as if grandpa is still by her side.

She lowered her eyes and whispered, "Grandpa just thought about me and didn't think about you." I'm just a burden, I can't see it, I need someone to take care of it. But with marriage tying you and me together, we are not happy. In the past few years you have been abroad, I have actually had a good life. Unseen...... In fact, it is not as scary as imagined. You see, I'm used to it now. ”

When Tang Yan said this, she raised her face and smiled.

Yi Xianchen didn't speak, standing three steps away from her, silently looking at the strength she deliberately disguised.

Tang Yan couldn't see Yi Xianchen's expression, but she could feel that the air pressure in the room was a little low, and the temperature was a little cold. But halfway through the conversation, there's no reason not to finish it.

Her five fingers on the armrest tightened slightly, and she continued: "Don't feel guilty, don't feel that you have failed your grandfather's trust. I'm leaving. Now we are all awkward in such a relationship. Moreover, after the divorce, we can still get along as before. You can ...... too Being able to surround yourself with someone you really like. ”

Tang Yan's words have been brewing since last night, and they have been in her mind several times today.

She put all the responsibility on herself, and didn't mention Yi Xianchen and that woman at all, nor did she mention that the Yi family didn't recognize her. It seems that Yi Xianchen should divorce her after returning to China, which is a natural thing.

Yi Xianchen looked at her condescendingly, and the girl's slender body in a smoky purple long-sleeved cheongsam was reflected on his pupils. It's too much like a cattail, as if it will break when the wind blows.

"Finished?" He finally spoke, and his throat seemed to have sand in his mouth, rolling through people's eardrums, a little itchy, and a little painful.

Tang Yan's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she nodded, "Hmm." ”

"When you're done, eat."

Hard leather boots creaked on the wooden floor, and after Yi Xianchen finished speaking, he really opened the door and went out.

Tang Yan sat on the Taishi chair and was a little stunned for a while.

It's her...... Isn't that clear enough?

"Ayan, come out!" When Aunt Zhao saw Yi Xianchen coming out, she came in and called Tang Yan.

She leaned over and asked softly, "What are you talking about?" ”

Tang Yan shook her head and refused to speak.

Aunt Zhao pretended to be angry and said sourly: "There is a secret!" Ah Yi is back, everyone has to let go of it! ”

"Nope." Tang Yan wrapped her two hands around Aunt Zhao's arm and shook it gently.

She asked, "He...... What is the expression? ”

"Who? Ayi? Aunt Zhao thought about it for a moment and said in disgust, "Does he still make expressions?" Nose is nose, eyes are eyes, and I haven't seen them move on Ayi's face in all these years. Also expressions! ”

Aunt Zhao said as she gestured with one hand, Tang Yan couldn't see it, but she could imagine Aunt Zhao's exaggerated gestures. She couldn't help but laugh.

Laughing and laughing, but the things to be talked about were not discussed.

Tang Yan has been mentally prepared for so long, and the draft that has been typed so many times was easily overturned by Yi Xianchen's sentence "Eat when you finish speaking".

But because of Yi Xianchen's arrival, this family seems to finally have a backbone. Aunt Zhao was visibly less anxious than in the morning, and Tang Yan didn't hear any movement and her shoulders tightened in fright.

The quaint and old Tang family villa seems to be able to survive this storm.
