After Sheng Yubai went upstairs, only Ruan Yan was left alone in the huge living room.

She was hesitating whether to go to the kitchen or go back to her room.

Although Sheng Yubai said that he had no appetite, he had stomach problems, and if he didn't eat something to pad his stomach when he worked too late at night, he would definitely have a stomachache the next morning.

So Ruan Yan thought about it for a long time, and decided to go to the kitchen to make him a bowl of egg noodles.

-

Sheng Yubai went upstairs and went straight to the study.

I plan to work until two or three o'clock in the morning and then go back to bed.

Just when he thought Ruan Yan had gone back to her room to rest, there was a knock on the door of the study.

Sheng Yubai was not surprised when he signed the move.

On the contrary, Ruan Yan would come to bring him supper, which was something he expected.

After all, she has been like this for the past three years, thoughtful and meticulous everywhere, thinking about him.

And Sheng Yubai gradually got used to her paying in obscurity.

"Come in." After Sheng Yubai answered, he lowered his head and continued to deal with the work.

Ruan Yan walked in with a hot noodle and explained that she had done too much and didn't want to waste it.

Sheng Yubai didn't poke her either, and thanked her lightly.

"Don't stay up too late, stay up late and hurt yourself." Ruan Yan said hello and left.

She knew that Sheng Yubai didn't like to be disturbed when she was working.

has long been accustomed to sleeping in separate rooms, and will no longer be like in the first few days of marriage, and take the liberty to go to Sheng Yubai to say that he can go back to the master bedroom to sleep after he is busy with work.

In fact, when Ruan Yan said that, he didn't have too deep thoughts.

It's just that I'm afraid that the housekeepers and servants in the family will know that they are in name only, and they will go back to the Sheng family's old mansion.

Later, Sheng Yubai told Ruan Yan that the people in the villa were all selected by himself, and he would not spread the news that they had not been in the same room.

And frankly admitted that they are only a formal husband and wife, and it is not suitable to live in the same room.

Sheng Yubai took the initiative to move to the guest bedroom closer to the study, and since then, the husband and wife have tacitly slept in separate rooms, and the relationship is no different from that of strangers.

However, recently, Ruan Yan could feel that the distance between her and Sheng Yubai had narrowed.

Especially tonight, after she knew he had a girlfriend in the past.

Ruan Yan felt that Sheng Yubai had opened up a little to her.

Nine years have already allowed Ruan Yan to practice enough patience.

If it weren't for Song Yun's appearance, she would even have thought about living in harmony with Sheng Yubai for the rest of her life.

Maybe one day in the future, Sheng Yubai can sense her liking for him and give her a response.

-

Ruan Yan took a bath after returning to the house.

I drank some red wine before going to bed and had a dream.

The dream is very chaotic, there are many people, and there are constant transitions.

First, her mother, who had passed away for many years, stretched out her hand to her with a smile, and gently called her nickname "Cause" in a loving and doting tone.

Then the smile on her face became deeper and deeper, her eyes were full of tenderness, and her affection almost overflowed from her voice, "My baby girl, come over and let Mommy be rare." ”

Ruan Yan in the dream seems to have changed back to when she was a child, she wanted to call her mother, but she couldn't make a sound.

Desperately trying to run up and throw himself into his mother's arms, but he threw himself into a cloud of mist and didn't hold anything.

Immediately after the scene changed, the clouds and mist lifted, and the surroundings changed into black and white tones, which was the mother's mourning hall.

Even in a dream, seeing the black-and-white photo placed in the center of the mourning hall, Ruan Yan still really felt the pain of splitting his body.

Tears quickly blurred her vision, Ruan Yan felt as heavy as her feet as if they had been filled with lead, and she could only cry to accept the fact that she had lost her mother.

Until someone took her hand and wrapped her cold hand in his small, warm palm.

Ruan Yan glanced sideways at the man with difficulty.

is a little boy of her age, born white and beautiful, with deep facial features, and is very good-looking.

That was Ling Huaiye when he was a child.

At the age of five, Ruan Yan met Ling Huaiye at the cost of losing his mother.

At that time, the Ruan family, which was not ranked in the business district of Chunluo City, also climbed to the first-class wealthy Ling family.

That year was like a watershed, the Ruan family was climbing in their careers, rising in Chunluo City at a very fast speed, and Ruan Yan's father also became a well-known figure in the business circle.

So for the Ruan family, the death of Ruan Yan's mother seems to be a blessing.

Her life changed the Ruan family's later glory and wealth, and she rose all the way.

But for Ruan Yan, she lost her mother, who loved her the most, and then gradually lost her father's love.

Even my maternal grandfather and grandmother were heartbroken by the death of their mother, fell ill, and passed away within a few years.

Since then, Ruan Yan has become a child without a home.

She was like an outsider in the Ruan family, and she was ostracized by her stepmother everywhere.

If it weren't for the suppression of the Ling family, she might not have been able to grow up in peace at all.

If it weren't for the companionship and love of Ling Huaiye and their family, Ruan Yan wouldn't know how he would grow up.

Maybe it will become lonely and dark, but it is not the gentle nature of today.

……

The dream realm is changing, like a bottomless quagmire, firmly trapped by Ruan Yan.

She slept very tired, and when she woke up, she was still a little confused and tired.

It was already bright outside the window, and Ruan Yan woke up for a while, and he didn't understand why he dreamed of Ling Huaiye.

She was in a daze when there was a knock on the door of her room and a maid came to tell her to come downstairs for breakfast.

So Ruan Yan sorted out her emotions and went to the bathroom to wash up, and when she brushed her teeth in the mirror, she was thinking about her mother's death day in a few days, whether to call Ling Huaiye to go with her.

After all, before the Ling family fell down three years ago, Ling's family would accompany her to visit the grave.

Most of the time, Ling Huaiye accompanies her, and sometimes the whole family of the Ling family will go together.

After a long time, Ruan Yan got used to it.

So in the three years when the Ling family moved abroad, when Ruan Yan went to the cemetery alone to see Ming Chen, he always felt a little lonely.

Now that Ling Huaiye and they are back, should she call him?

Ruan Yan struggled until he finished washing up before he came to a conclusion.

Considering what Sheng Yubai said last night, she dispelled the idea of calling Shang Ling Huaiye to sweep the tomb.

On the one hand, her current status is not suitable for traveling alone with Ling Huaiye, and on the other hand, three years can change many people and things, and she is not sure if Ling's family is still willing to worship her mother as they did at the beginning.

After all, my mother's kindness to the Ling family has been paid off in the past ten or twenty years.

Thinking like this, Ruan Yan felt a little melancholy inexplicably.

After all, in the past so many years, she has secretly regarded her family as a relative.

After three years of separation, she completely distanced herself from them.

Ruan Yan's depressed mood gradually eased after going downstairs, and she saw Sheng Yubai having breakfast in the restaurant.

It's rare that he didn't go out early today.

On weekdays, when Ruan Yan got up for breakfast, Sheng Yubai was already on his way to the company.

Now he is the head of the Sheng Group, but he goes out early and returns late every day, as if he is working harder than the employees below.

Sheng Yubai also saw Ruan Yan and took the initiative to greet her: "Morning." ”

"Early." Ruan Yan raised his lips and smiled, and went to the table to take a seat.

The couple sat together for breakfast for the first time in a long time, but they were silent for a while.

It wasn't until Sheng Yubai put down the tableware after eating breakfast that he wiped his mouth with a napkin and looked at Ruan Yan and said, "I have an important birthday banquet in a few days, and I need you to accompany me." ”

Ruan Yan was about to drink porridge, but when he heard Sheng Yubai's words, he stopped his movements and raised his eyes to look at him: "What is the specific time?" ”

She was afraid that she would collide with her mother's death.

As a result, what is afraid of what comes.

Sheng Yubai thought for a moment, and replied to her in a deep voice: "No. 20." ”

When the words fell, he remembered something, and asked Ruan Yan again: "That Tuesday, you didn't have class, right?" ”

Ruan Yan teaches at Chun Lo No. 1 Middle School and is a music teacher.

Although Sheng Yubai didn't know how many classes she attended, she guessed that the music teacher's teaching task should not be heavy.

After all, this job was the advice given to Ruan Yan by his parents when they got married.

Sheng Yubai knows his parents, and their requirements for their daughters-in-law have always been to have their own careers, but they can't let their daughters-in-law's careers affect their grandchildren.

So when they got married, the second elder secretly told Ruan Yan that he didn't want her to continue to develop in the dance industry.

Because as a dancer, Ruan Yan can't prepare for pregnancy at the best age and carry on the family for them.

As for Ruan Yan, he happened to take the teaching certificate of music when he was in college.

In order to reassure Sheng Yubai's parents, she gave up dancing and went to Chunluo No. 1 Middle School to become a music teacher.

Ruan Yan didn't tell Sheng Yubai about these things, but he knew.

It's just that even if he knew, Sheng Yubai didn't stop his parents.

After all, Ruan Yan at that time was just a marriage partner arranged by his parents for him.

He doesn't love her, so naturally he doesn't care how much she has given up for him or what she has given up.

What's more, this kind of married life is also very good now.

As a music teacher, Ruan Yan doesn't have to go out to participate in competitions and show up.

Her current job is stable and decent, which is very much in line with Mrs. Sheng's identity.

The time is also relatively free, and I can cooperate with him to participate in some important business activities.

Although Sheng Yubai asked Ruan Yan just now if she had a class that day.

But in fact, he had the answer in his heart.

He was sure that Ruan Yan had time, even if she was not free, he invited her to travel with him, and she would definitely try to find a way to make time.

So after he asked, he was already thinking about asking the assistant to set the dress for Ruan Yan's birthday party.

Who knew that just when he was about to call his assistant with his mobile phone, Ruan Yan on the side suddenly spoke, "On the night of the 20th?" ”

Sheng Yubai paused, "All day." ”

He looked at Ruan Yan with a suspicious look in his eyes, "What, you have a class during the day that day?" ”

Ruan Yan's expression froze, and his eyes looking at Sheng Yubai became complicated: "I had something to do that day......

After three years of marriage, Sheng Yubai has never accompanied Ruan Yan to worship Ming Chen.

So it was only natural that he couldn't remember the death date that he knew clearly.

Although Ruan Yan felt sad in his heart, he had no position to accuse the man of anything.

After all, they are an agreement marriage, and she can't force Sheng Yubai to know everything about her.

Ruan Yan's words lagged behind, and Sheng Yubai's brows frowned almost invisibly.

He felt a little uneasy, and his face darkened.

I don't know if this unhappiness is because Ruan Yan, as Mrs. Sheng, can't accompany him to that important birthday party, or because she refused his invitation for the first time.
