Ruan Ling looked around left and right, and found that apart from herself, there was no excitement to see next to her.

These people really seem to be here to watch Ye Xu.

And around the soft stool where she was sitting, there were already several aunts standing.

Ye Xu was still changing a set of clothes in the fitting room, Ruan Ling silently stood up from the soft stool, and walked to an aunt who was holding a noble lady roll and holding a mobile phone to record a video.

"Auntie." Ruan Ling tentatively spoke, "What are you looking at?" ”

Auntie's mobile phone was still held steadily, and she replied casually: "I heard that there are big stars buying clothes here, so I'll join in the fun, and take a few photos and send them to my girl by the way." ”

Ruan Ling didn't know what to do: "Which big star?" What is it called? ”

When did Ye Xu debut? I haven't heard of her being a stepmother.

Hearing this, the aunt glanced at Ruan Ling, a little impatient: "How do I know, if I know, I don't have to send it to my girl." If you want to know, ask someone you know to help you see it. ”

Ruan Ling: "......"

"Auntie, I still want to ask, how did you know that there are stars here?" Ruan Ling looked thirsty for knowledge.

Stretching out her hand not to hit the smiling person, the aunt saw that Ruan Ling's attitude was not bad, and kindly replied: "Didn't I see other people taking pictures at the door." If it's not a star, who has nothing to do with others? And this baby who tries on clothes looks so good-looking, at first glance, it is not an ordinary person! ”

Ruan Ling: "......"

She probably understood what was going on, and that's how the rumors came about.

Ye Xu came out of the fitting room and was stunned when he saw an extra circle of onlookers next to him.

When several aunts and uncles saw Ye Xu come out, they immediately pointed their cameras at Ye Xu and took pictures of them.

There were not many customers on weekday afternoons, and the two clerks on duty went to the bathroom and the other went to the warehouse to help Ye Xu find a size, and there was just no one to maintain order at this time.

Fortunately, after a few seconds, the clerk just came out of the warehouse.

Seeing the clerk appear, an aunt leaned over and asked, "I'm sorry, I want to ask, which star is this in your store and what is its name?" ”

Another uncle simply asked Ye Xu directly: "Young man, which TV series have you acted in?" Tell me about it, I've heard if I've seen it. ”

Ye Xu: "...... I'm not an actor. ”

"Whew-" the uncle glared, "young man, don't be modest!" I've heard it all, you're a big star! ”

……

My clarification and the clerk's efforts to explain, after a few minutes, the onlookers finally believed that there were no celebrities here, and gradually dispersed.

The person who started taking pictures didn't know where he had gone, and the store was quiet again.

The clerk apologized to Ruan Ling again and again, and gave Ruan Ling another discount on the original discount.

Fortunately, except for a few photos taken, Ye Xu himself was not harmed, and Ruan Ling accepted the apology from the clerk and asked them to pay attention next time.

Coming out of the store, Ye Xu was carrying a large bag of clothes in one hand, and looked at Ruan Ling with a little grievance: "Do you want to continue to try on clothes?" ”

Ye Xu rarely showed such a pitiful expression, and Ruan Ling, who had always eaten soft rather than hard, immediately couldn't resist it.

Anyway, I bought a lot of clothes, Ruan Ling waved his hand: "Don't try it, let's eat!" ”

.

Since the last time he promised to watch TV with Ruan Ling, Ye Jingchi has gone home a little earlier these days.

However, in the past two days, Ruan Ling went to the studio during the day every day, and at night she didn't know what she was busy with in the room, and the family hadn't watched TV together again.

Tonight, Ye Jingchi told the housekeeper in advance that he would eat at home, and returned to the villa at about six o'clock in the evening for the first time.

However, as soon as I got home, I received a credit card spending reminder on my mobile phone.

The trading merchant was still a little familiar, Ye Jingchi searched for the record, and sure enough, it was the men's clothing that Ruan Ling bought for Ye Xu last time.

It's just that the amount of consumption this time is a lot more than last time, and it seems that I bought several pieces.

Ye Jingchi called Steward He.

"The young master went out at ten o'clock in the morning today." Steward He meticulously reported, "I went out with my wife, it seems that I went to my wife's studio to help." ”

Ye Jingchi's eyebrows frowned slightly: "In the past few days, has he often gone over there to help?" ”

Because of respecting Ye Xu's thoughts, Ye Jingchi basically wouldn't ask where Ye Xu went on vacation, and he wouldn't let the housekeeper regularly report Ye Xu's whereabouts to him.

Steward He recalled: "The young master should have been there twice, the last time was the first day of the holiday, and then today." ”

Ye Jingchi let out a "hmm".

The housekeeper observed Ye Jingchi's expression and asked, "Mr. Ye, next time the young master goes again, will you use me to report to you?" ”

"No, you don't." The man replied.

"Yes."

……

Two seconds later, Ye Jingchi changed his words again: "No, let's talk to me." ”

Steward He: "Okay." ”

There are not many things that make Ye Jingchi change his mind after he decides, men have always been decisive and rarely hesitate.

But Steward He has been working for so many years, and he has always adhered to the principle that everything is subject to Mr. Ye's orders and will never say much.

Therefore, for Ye Jingchi's abnormality, Steward He didn't ask much.

Ye Jingchi put his finger against his eyebrows, and asked again: "She told you today, do you want to come back for dinner?" ”

Steward He said respectfully: "Mrs. is now directly contacting Aunt Zhang in the kitchen, let me help you ask Aunt Zhang?" ”

Ye Jingchi groaned slightly.

The mobile phone just lit up at this time, and it was another consumption record.

Transaction amount: five hundred and ninety-six.

Trading merchants: Manchurian and Han all-seat self-service barbecue.

The housekeeper was still waiting for Ye Jingchi's reply.

The man's voice was a little deeper than just now: "No need. ”

With that, Ye Jingchi simply stood up neatly and walked straight towards the restaurant.

.

"Hmmm! This beef is quite delicious! Ruan Ling put the vegetables wrapped in beef into his mouth, squinting his eyes and sighing.

"Do you still want to eat it?" Ruan Ling blinked, hinting at the young man opposite.

Ye Xu pursed his lips lightly: "...... I can help you get the last plate, but you can't eat any other meat, and you can't eat any more desserts. ”

Ruan Ling said righteously: "How can you ask me to help me get it, it's the two of us who eat together."

。 ”

Ye Xu glanced at the empty plate and calmly stated: "There are a total of eight slices of beef brain on this plate, I ate two slices, and the remaining six slices are all eaten by you." ”

Ruan Ling's eyes widened: "How do you remember so clearly, Ye Xu, I didn't expect you to be so calculating!" ”

Ye Xu was unmoved: "You asked me to supervise you, you can't eat too much tonight." ”

"Alas......" Ruan Ling's wicked man failed to sue first, so he had to sigh: "Okay." ”

She has a bad habit, every time she comes across something delicious, she can't help but keep eating, and she regrets it until she can't walk.

But Ruan Ling is still hungry and not thin, but she can't eat fat.

The friends who often go to dinner with her are clamoring to gain weight, but she still maintains a weight of about 100 catties all year round, and the fluctuation does not exceed four catties.

The friends who used to have dinner with Ruan Ling knew this, and over time, they simply ignored her.

Only Ye Xu was so serious and promised Ruan Ling to supervise her, so she was very conscientious.

Ruan Ling rubbed her lower abdomen, feeling that she was really about to eat, so she decided to save the remaining amount for ice cream.

"Then I'll make a cone." Ruan Ling said.

Ye Xu glanced at her: "What flavor do you want to eat?" ”

Ruan Ling refused: "No need, I'll just go by myself." ”

Ye Xu: "You can only fight one." ”

Ruan Ling: "Why? ”

Ye Xu: "Otherwise, if you make a few flavors at once, you will have to eat them all on the grounds that you can't waste them." ”

Ruan Ling and Ye Xu looked at each other for two seconds, and finally compromised: "...... Then you can help me, I want the vanilla flavor. ”

What it's like to have a stepson who knows her too well, and now she's finally getting it.

Under Ye Xu's supervision, Ruan Ling was able to walk like a fly when he walked out of the cafeteria for the first time.

"Ye Xu." On the way home, Ruan Ling said earnestly, "I think we lost a little bit today." ”

Ye Xu: "...... Why? ”

Ruan Ling was serious: "I said that you have to go in with the wall and go out with the wall to eat the buffet, but we didn't do any of it today." ”

Ye Xu: "......"

Ruan Ling was confident: "What's wrong?" ”

The young man was silent for a moment and spoke: "It's not good for your health to always eat too much, if you ......"

The second half of the sentence became softer and softer, and Ruan Ling didn't hear it clearly.

Ruan Ling: "What did you say?" ”

"Nothing." Ye Xu pursed his lips, "In short, for the sake of good health, I will supervise you well." ”

.

The evening news was playing on the TV, and the man was holding a stack of papers and reading it

The officer is hidden in the shadows.

Ruan Ling and Ye Xu returned to the villa together, and when they saw the man in the living room, their first reaction was: Has Ye Jingchi been so idle recently?

I still remember the time when she first came, it would be good to see Ye Jingchi go home at eleven o'clock every night.

However, in recent days, every time she came home around eight or nine o'clock, Ye Jingchi's figure could be seen in the living room.

Ye Xu said hello to Ye Jingchi, and then went upstairs silently.

Ruan Ling glanced at the document in Ye Jingchi's hand, then looked at the man's slightly frowning brow, and stopped talking.

Ye Jingchi also looked at her.

Ruan Ling: "...... Have you been working well lately? ”

Ye Jingchi's eyebrows moved slightly, and his eyebrows revealed surprise.

When was the last time she cared for him so bluntly?

It seemed to be the first night after the wedding, and she pushed open the door to his study as it was close to midnight.

He understood the temptation between her words, but did not respond in any way.

Thinking of this, Ye Jingchi's eyebrows gradually stretched, and his voice was gentle: "It's okay, what's wrong?" ”

Ruan Ling was silent for a moment.

She remembers that in the TV series, once the director gave the president of the company a shot of "frowning and silently looking at the report in the room", it means -

The company is not far from bankruptcy.

As a veteran viewer of the eight-o'clock TV series, Ruan Ling has sufficient experience in this.

She didn't know what the prenuptial agreement between the original owner and Ye Jingchi was, but she felt that she should still care about Ye's situation.

Otherwise, what if the Ye family goes bankrupt due to some butterfly effect, and she has to pay off the debt together?

After thinking for a while, Ruan Ling asked bluntly: "Everything has been fine in the company recently, and nothing has happened...... Problems like poor cash flow, right? ”

Ye Jingchi: "......"

I don't know if it's an illusion, Ruan Ling felt that the tenderness between the man's eyebrows dissipated a lot in an instant.

Ye Jingchi: "No, the company is very good. ”

Ruan Ling nodded, "oh".

She thought about it, and felt that she was worrying for nothing.

Life is not a TV series, Ye's is such a big company, and there is a character like Ye Jingchi in charge, how can it be so easy to go bankrupt.

Ruan Ling glanced at the document in Ye Jingchi's hand, and felt that he might not want to be disturbed any longer, so he said, "Then you are busy first, I-"

The man's voice was low: "What about you?" ”

Ruan Ling was stunned: "What? ”

Ye Jingchi: "Have you been busy lately?" ”

"Well, it's a long story." Ruan Ling originally wanted to go upstairs, but stopped when she heard the words.

Ye Jingchi said softly: "Then say it slowly." ”

Ruan Ling thought about it and sat on the sofa next to the man.

"I've been busy with sets and costumes these days." Speaking of the photography studio, Ruan Ling naturally opened the conversation, "There are a few props, and the store is out of stock, but I don't want to make do with anything else." ”

She has been busy alone these days, and although she can call for help with manual work, she still has to worry about many things by herself.

And a lot of things, it takes time to do it alone, and I ask Ye Xu to help them, but I have to explain it for a long time first, and in the end, it is not as fast as I come.

"For example?" Ye Jingchi's voice is gentle and calm, and unconsciously gives people a desire to talk.

"For example, there is a Tanabata fish lantern." Ruan Ling gestured a shape with her hand, "I want such a big one, the shooting effect is good, but the online stores sell only one size smaller." There is only one that can be customized for large size, but the owner of the store is in the field, so he has to wait, so it is too late to shoot a sample film in advance for publicity. ”

Ye Jingchi watched Ruan Ling dance and gesturing, the corners of his lips raised slightly, and there was a hint of a smile in his voice

Meaning: "And then? ”

Ruan Ling: "Fortunately, I had an idea!" I asked the shopkeeper to send me the materials. I watched the tutorial by myself, and it took me most of the day to make it! ”

Ye Jingchi asked softly: "What does it look like?" ”

"It's beautiful! It also looks good when it was filmed today! Luckily, I insisted that I must use a large one, otherwise the effect would not be as good as it is now. Ruan Ling said, "But—"

When Ruan Ling talks about the topics he is interested in, he will talk more all of a sudden, and he doesn't care if the other side is listening.

It wasn't until he said this that Ruan Ling finally reacted with hindsight and glanced at Ye Jingchi.

Is he genuinely interested, or is he just going along with himself?

With a man's city, it may be easier to make the other party feel that he is listening carefully and create an atmosphere of good conversation.

This is the ability of businessmen to entertain, not to mention a person like Ye Jingchi, I am afraid that he has already been perfected.

Ye Jingchi saw her stop, and his eyebrows raised slightly: "But what?" ”

Ruan Ling looked at him and blinked: "But I put it in the studio and didn't take it." ”

She regretfully made a gesture of spreading her hands: "So you can't see it now." ”

Ye Jingchi said softly: "Didn't you take a photo?" ”

"It's a shoot." Ruan Ling replied, "But it's still in the camera, and I haven't had time to export it." I'll send it to you next time I have time. ”

As for when the next time it will be, I don't know, Ruan Ling thought to herself.

Anyway, this sentence is the same as "having time to eat together" when greeting people you don't know, it's just a polite sentence, and the probability of cashing in is infinitely close to zero.

Ye Jingchi: "No. ”

Ruan Ling raised his eyebrows.

So ruthless? I didn't even want to be polite with her, which was worthy of ......

Ye Jingchi: "When I have a chance, I'll go to your studio to see it." ”

Ruan Ling: "...... Yes? ”

Ye Jingchi: "Isn't it convenient?" ”

"That's not ......," Ruan Ling muttered.

It's just that she really can't figure out why Ye Jingchi wants to come.

If it was just to help with manual work, Ruan Ling's manpower would have been enough for a long time, and there would even be some surplus.

Ye Jingchi, the president of the Ye family, put down the work in his hand, don't care about those tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of businesses, and go to her studio to take a look, is there any point?

"You can go if you want," Ruan Ling thought about it, and couldn't help but ask, "But...... Why? ”

Did you regard her as a partner and want to come and inspect her?

If you think about it this way, it can also be explained, after all, their marriage can actually be understood as a transaction.

On one side is the favor of the previous generation of the Zheng family to the Ye family, and on the other side is the status of Ye Jingchi's wife, as well as all the benefits brought by this identity.

Ye Jingchi glanced at Ruan Ling deeply.

Just when Ruan Ling thought that he would not answer directly, the man finally spoke.

"Didn't you say that?" Ye Jingchi had a smile in the corner of his eyes, "I want to see the fish lamp you made yourself." ”

……

Ruan Ling admitted that at this moment, her heartbeat accelerated a little.

Whether it's a man's focused eyes or a smile in his eyes, or

A low, magnetic voice like a cello is enough to make most women lose their minds.

What's more, it's night, and there are only the two of them in the huge living room, which adds a bit of ambiguity.

Ruan Ling even had an illusion: if she took the initiative to get closer at this time, she might be able to take down the man in front of her.

"Then again, it's the same with looking at photos." Ruan Ling smiled and said in a brisk tone, "You don't have to go so troublesome." ”

Ye Jingchi's gaze slowly swept over her face.

He didn't answer again, but changed the subject: "You and Ye Xu went to the mall today?" ”

So, is he still planning to go to the studio, or has he already dismissed the idea?

Ruan Ling thought about it for a while, but to no avail.

She said, "Well, I bought him a few clothes." ”

After a pause, he added: "Swiped the black card you gave me." ”

If Ye Jingchi shows any unhappiness, then she will have to think about it when she swipes the card in the future.

Anyway, all the things that Ye Jingchi gave her, Ruan Ling accepted it with a mentality that if you have it, it is the icing on the cake, and it doesn't matter if you don't have it.

In this way, even if the two divorce in the future, she will not have too much psychological gap.

Ye Jingchi asked, "Do you buy more?" ”

Ruan Ling's heart said that was indeed the case, and replied: "I bought six pieces, and there are all kinds of them." ”

Ye Jingchi: "Hmm. ”

Ruan Ling waited for the man's next words, such as asking her to collect some money next time.

Ye Jingchi was silent for a moment: "If you want to buy more next time, it's okay." ”

"Okay." Ruan Ling responded casually, and then reacted to what the man said.

Ruan Ling was puzzled: "What else?" ”

She thought Ye Jingchi was reminding her to swipe his card leisurely, what did it mean to let her buy more? Think she's spending money too slowly?

Facing Ruan Ling's puzzled gaze, Ye Jingchi's eyes flickered rarely.
