After Siwan finished speaking, she stopped looking at him, looked at the account book in her hand, and recalled over and over again what Xie Chen said just now, "Are you angry? ”

She didn't know what she was doing now, and she wanted to execute the plan immediately, but she was reluctant; I want to stay, but there is not much time left for her, so she can only ask Xie Chen silently in her heart:

"What the hell are you going to do with me?"

Xie Chen was also recalling Siwan's look just now, that look was cold and unfamiliar, he had never seen it before, he didn't know what was wrong with Siwan, it seemed that since Su Mingwan appeared, Siwan had been consciously or unintentionally avoiding looking at him, even alienating him, and asking her all the questions.

He didn't know what Siwan was afraid of, and he couldn't understand how his wife, who used to get along day and night, could look at him with such strange eyes now.

He may have guessed the fact that Siwan doesn't want to love him anymore, but as long as she doesn't say it herself, he won't admit it!

So, he asked her again in a sharp voice: "I repeat, are you angry?" He was still staring at her, he was gambling. Gambling Siwan still retains a trace of love for him, he is betting that Siwan still loves him.

When Siwan heard his tone, her heart was suddenly shocked, she glanced at Xie Chen again, and smiled helplessly, he has always loved to get to the bottom of things since he was a child, and he will never give up without an answer. Siwan held her head in her hands and thought, "Anyway, I'm the one who is going to leave in the end......"

"I'm not angry."

This sentence was like a thunderbolt from the sky, shocking Xie Chen in place, he couldn't believe that Siwan would say these words so calmly, he couldn't believe that his wife, who had just been married for more than a year, didn't want to love him......

He immediately grabbed Siwan's wrist, his eyes were red, and he asked loudly, "Why aren't you angry?" Don't you want to love me anymore? Yes? You speak! ”

She glanced at him calmly, seemingly careless, but her heart had already become a ball.

The time to come is still coming, she has already guessed that there will be such a day, she has already guessed that Xie Chen will ask this, but she didn't expect this day to come so quickly.

She had already been mentally prepared, but seeing Xie Chen's tears so aggrieved, she still felt a pang in her heart, she didn't want to answer him positively, because no matter whether the answer was good or bad, it would have an impact on them. In all kinds of embarrassment, she spoke: "Do you know why I appeared in Zuichun Tower that day?" ”

She looked at Xie Chen's ignorant eyes and sneered: "That kind of land of wind and moon, whether it is a route or a beautiful man, I am very familiar with it." ”

Xie Chen couldn't believe that Si Wan was such a person, but he didn't want to know about Si Wan's affair with those men now, he just wanted to know if she still loved him: "Wan'er, as long as you say that you are not angry, are we still as good as before?" ”

She looked at Xie Chen's aggrieved and pleading eyes, and the hand behind her back was already clenched until blood flowed out, and her heart was horizontal, putting on a disgusting look: "It's human nature to like the new and hate the old, no matter how good the delicacies of the mountains and seas, I will only want to vomit after chewing it thousands of eight hundred times, do you know, you are very annoying!" ”

Inadvertently, he saw Xie Chen's clenched fists, and Siwan thought distressedly: "Beat me, it's over, it's over, it's time for us to finish." ”

continued to add: "It turns out that you can't afford to play so much, I knew it was like this, I wouldn't have married you in the first place." ”

In the next second, Xie Chen rushed over, and Si Wan was pushed to the wall before she could dodge, and her hand instinctively protected her body. A fist slammed into the wall, making a loud noise.

Siwan opened her eyes and looked at Xie Chen's angry expression and his fist that had been beaten with blood. At that moment, her heart was touched again: "Would you rather hit the wall and hurt until your palms bleed, than hit me?" ”

Even if Xie Chen had bad intentions, he didn't expect that Siwan would be able to say that he regretted marrying him, which made his heart suffer a huge setback, and he was about to beat her just now, but he was still subconsciously controlling him to deviate.

Xie Chen, who had calmed down, breathed a long sigh of relief tremblingly: "Since you drove me away, then I'll go, don't regret it." He turned his head and walked out of the store, as if he didn't notice that his hand was bleeding badly, and he walked so resolutely.

After seeing that he was really gone, Siwan's collapsed mood could no longer be suppressed, and she simply sat on the ground and cried.

Bai Li, who had been listening to the door for a long time, walked into the store, sat next to her, and comforted Siwan: "Since you are reluctant, why are you bothering?" ”

"You don't understand, I'd rather make him angry with me and hate me than let him find some stand-in in the name of loving me, and finally tell me next to my coffin that they are true love! Why? Why is it that I am the one who has accompanied him for 20 years, but I am not the one who has been with him for the rest of his life? I'm not reconciled! I'm not reconciled! Siwan said bitterly.

After a pause for a few seconds, Siwan looked up and asked her, "Lili, do you know what it feels like to be reluctant but have to be separated?" ”

Bai Li watched her cry like this, and felt uncomfortable: "Although I don't know this feeling, what I do know is that no matter what you do, I will always support you, I will respect your decision, rest assured, when you are sad, I will accompany you." ”

"Lili—"

Siwan hugged her and cried out loud.

On the other side, Xie Chen returned to Xie Mansion angrily.

When the old lady saw him, she stepped forward and asked, "Hey? Why did you come back alone? What about Wan'er? ”

When Xie Chen heard the word "Wan'er", he couldn't help but think of her face and the picture when he used to play with her. Perfunctory: "She...... There's something going on, and I'm not coming back. ”

The old woman didn't ask, "Oh, then you can rest first, and I'll go to the backyard first." ”

Xie Chen returned to the master bedroom, looking at such a warm display, and couldn't help but think of the scene with Siwan on weekdays, the picture of warmth and harmony, affection and love, vividly in his mind. He looked at his bleeding hand again, and just said coldly, "Heh, it's all fake." ”

Old General Xie pushed the door in, looked at Xie Chen's hand, and pretended to be distressed and said, "Who made your hand like this?" As he spoke, he wanted to shake his hand and look at him.

"Nobody, I made it myself, by the way, don't you know that you have to knock on the door first when you enter?" Xie Chen immediately put his hand behind his back and asked him.

Old General Xie took back his hand that was stopped in mid-air, and smiled awkwardly: "Hehe, this matter is not important. I heard, you and Siwan quarreled? ”

Xie Chen thought unhappily: "This dead old man, he usually doesn't even bother to get out of the door, how can he be better informed than anyone else when he has any news?" ”

But his face showed a look of indifference: "Heh, she is noisy, anyway, you know, I don't love her, it's just to marry her to improve the status of our Xie family in the court." ”

"Okay, I also heard that she placed a girl named Mingwan in the inn yesterday, let me meet her another day." Old General Xie sat on the chair and poured a cup of tea: "What, there is medicine in the box next to the bed, you can look at it and bandage it." ”

Xie Chen didn't care about General Xie's concern, and he couldn't detect any superfluous expression on his face: "Okay, this matter is easy to do, but I have one condition." ”

"On what terms?"

"Please remove the eyeliner that has been planted next to us!" Xie Chen said coldly.

Old General Xie was choked by this answer: "Cough cough cough, cough cough, what eyeliner?" What are you talking about? I don't understand. ”

Xie Chen's hand was behind the back of his head, leaning against the wall and staring at him: "Oh? Then I advise you to think about it carefully, do you really not understand? ”

"Your words are too profound, I really don't understand, or you might as well just say it on the surface." Old General Xie looked at him and pointed to the chair across from him.

Xie Chen walked over and sat down and said: "That's okay, first of all, you can see from the details, I often practice martial arts on weekdays, and I will also suffer some small abrasions, which is a very normal phenomenon, but I remember one time, I fell off the horse, and I recuperated for half a month, and my friends came to see me, and so did my grandmother, but as far as you are concerned, you have to say that there is government affairs to deal with, so you didn't come." Ha, I almost died at the beginning, you didn't care, but now you even know that my hand is injured, and you come to comfort me, don't you think your behavior is very interesting? ”

Old General Xie's eyes were half-closed: "Then this doesn't mean anything, it only shows that you are blaming me?" ”

Xie Chen held his head with his hand, his indifferent face, a pair of deep eyes were calm, and occasionally a subtle glow flashed by, which was also imperceptible: "Okay, let's not talk about this for the time being, but I remember that when I entered the door just now, I didn't tell my grandmother anything about me and my wife, how can a person like you who doesn't go out only know?" ”

Old General Xie's eyes suddenly became uncertain: "Then you still need to say?" You can see from your expression, how many years have we been together? Even if you hide it well, your grandmother and I can see it. ”

"Hahahaha, then how do you know about Mingwan?" Xie Chen directly hit the crux of the problem, looked at his somewhat flustered expression, and smiled contemptuously.

"Last night, I remembered that you went to deal with government affairs, but I didn't see you in the mansion, so how did you know about us and Mingwan?" Xie Chen continued: "What are you afraid of? What do you dare not admit? ”

General Xie patted the table: "Oh, why are you so cautious, aren't I afraid that something will happen to you when I put in the eyeliner?" Okay, don't worry, I'll leave, but I also have a premise - you will let Miss Mingwan come to see me tomorrow! ”

"As long as you don't spy on us, it doesn't matter what else matters, you can call whoever you want." Xie Chen also poured a cup of tea and drank it all.

"Okay, then I'll go first."

"Slow down and don't send it."

Xie Chen looked at the back of him leaving, and a ripple appeared in his heart: "I'm not afraid of thieves stealing, I'm afraid of thieves." What kind of medicine is being sold in this gourd of the dead old man? ”

Mingwan led a group of women into the store, and when Siwan saw it, she asked in surprise, "Are so many people from this store?" ”

Mingwan walked out of their release: "Ah, no, no, some of them are begging on the streets, I see that they are pitiful, so I want to let them come, they don't need to be paid, as long as Mrs. Xie gives them a bite to eat." ”

"What? Beggar? Ha! Are you picking up garbage or doing charity in my Wan'er's shop? Bai Li said: "Besides, you just pull one person, you also pull a group of people over, really my Wan'er's store is a shelter?" ”

Mingwan lowered her head: "I'm also kind, what's wrong with taking it in?" ”

"Haha, you see what you said so nicely, then why didn't you take them in? I think you are a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, saving others but not yourself. Bai Li was upset for Siwan on the side.

Mingwan stood aside and asked for help from Siwan with a pitiful look.

"Okay, I'll take them in." Siwan said to Mingwan.

Bai Li was not happy when she heard this, and quickly pulled Siwan aside: "Are you crazy or have a bad brain, she robbed your man and found such a group of people to pretend to be "well-wishers" to make things difficult for you, why are you still so generous?" ”

Siwan said: "You don't understand, if I really do the same as you said, drive these people away, she is pretending to be pitiful, saying that I deliberately did not take them in, then will my reputation in the capital be lost in the future?" ”

"And what do you mean?"

"Let's wait and see what tricks they can make, and now the main thing is that if it's an enemy, I'll move." Siwan said.

"What about so many people, aren't you afraid that some of them have bad intentions or bad intentions?" Bai Li said worriedly.

Siwan patiently analyzed the problem with Bai Li: "Even if she has bad intentions, can that whole roll of fabric be taken away in broad daylight?" You don't have to worry at night, I'll shoot a few guards guarding here, they look like those ordinary people, what kind of storm can they set off when they encounter such tall guards? Besides, even if it is stolen, it will not be sold for a few bucks if it has been touched and scratched. In this way, my loss is not big, is it? ”

Bai Li thought about it and felt that it made sense, but he still said uneasily: "No, I always have a premonition that something will happen, otherwise, isn't there an open space in front of your store?" As for me, I'll build a restaurant in front of your shop, and it will be open at night, so can I help you watch the shop? ”

"Really? You're so good, aren't you? Siwan said in surprise.

"Of course, what I said can be false? Sticking a knife in the ribs for a friend is my principle of doing things. Bai Li replied proudly.

"Don't worry, I'll treat you to a good meal another day, treat you well."

Mingwan walked over and said, "Hmm...... Are you done talking? Can they stay? ”

Bai Li shrugged his shoulders and put on an indifferent look: "Stay, stay, we don't have to worry about anything anyway." ”

Siwan said to Mingwan: "Then you talk first, and I'll go and divide the work for them." ”

Bai Li dotingly looked at Siwan's busy back.

Mingwan opened her mouth and said, "I don't know how long the white girl and Siwan have known each other?" ”

Bai Li glanced at her absently: "Siwan is also what you can call?" Ha, when I was there just now, I called someone Mrs. Xie, and as soon as I left, I began to reveal my original form so big and small? ”

"Oh, I'm sorry, I was stupid and said the wrong thing, I'll pay attention." Mingwan slapped herself in the mouth.

Bai Li pointed at her with a finger and said: "You remember, I have known her since I was a child, I have drunk a mother's milk, worn the same clothes, and the relationship has never broken up, if you dare to bully her, or make her cry and make her sad, don't say that the royal family is making trouble for you, I Bai Li will also let you die a good death!" ”
