Nine Hundred and Sixty-Three Cherish (IV)
Ye Yan came out of the banquet hall ahead of her and was about to pick up the car. Hearing the sound of high heels, he subconsciously glanced sideways. Originally, he just took a casual look, but when a white silhouette hit his eyes, he stopped instantly.
——
"Shun Nian, quit your share of salary!" Mrs. Xiang's first words were an order. domineering.
Shu Nian has been mentally prepared for a long time, and he is not a vegetarian. "I have just changed to a better working environment and have no plans to resign."
"Your profession is not a glorious one. How many people recognized you in the venue today, which embarrassed our wife and Mr. Xiang." Aunt Wang, the servant behind Mrs. Xiang, spoke with a tone full of emotion. disdain.
"Isn't it disgraceful?" Shu Nian glanced at Aunt Wang with a dull expression, "My profession and yours are similar, but you serve the rich and I serve the patients. What's so disgraceful? Could it be that, Aunt Wang, you also feel that you A dishonorable career?”
Aunt Wang was choked and looked ugly.
"Sure enough, children from poor families lack education! I don't know what our Mu Yang likes about you!"
Shu Nian's expression remained unchanged, "Madam, a truly educated person will never judge a person by material poverty or wealth, let alone feel that a legitimate profession is superior or inferior."
"You...you've rebelled against me!" Mrs. Xiang's face turned pale with anger, and she raised her hand to slap someone. Shu Nian looked stern, expecting to receive her slap on the face. But, the next moment...
He stretched out a hand and clasped Mrs. Xiang's hand hard.
When Shu Nian looked up, he saw Ye Yan holding Mrs. Xiang's hand and looking at her intently.
Her heart tightened.
It would definitely be very embarrassing to be seen by one of his former classmates when he was in such embarrassment. Shu Nian lowered his eyes, not wanting to greet him under such circumstances.
"Who are you, taking care of our family's housework!" Mrs. Xiang was so angry that she didn't recognize Ye Yan.
"Mrs. Xiang, hitting people at every turn is not something a well-educated person can do!" Ye Yan shook the opponent's hand hard and took two steps back to Madam Xiang.
"You! You! What's the relationship between you two?" Mrs. Xiang pointed to this and that.
Ye Yan glanced at Shu Nian,
Finding that she just lowered her eyes and showed no sign of explanation, Ye Yan suddenly felt distressed, "We have nothing to do with each other, I just can't stand your attitude."
"What's my attitude? I taught my daughter-in-law a lesson. What happened? Didn't you see her attitude towards me? A wife who can't bear children is like a hen that can't lay eggs. What's the use? I didn't She was very merciful by driving us out of the Xiang family!"
Mrs. Xiang was so angry that she said everything.
As soon as he said this, Shu Nian trembled all over and turned pale.
Ye Yan was also severely shocked. Infertile... what... does this mean?
He looked at Shu Nian again.
Shu Nian felt the look in his eyes, and could even feel the pity. Her eyelashes fluttered, and her eyes were filled with mist. For a long time, she suppressed the bitterness. He raised his eyes and looked at Mrs. Xiang expressionlessly, "If you have nothing else to do, I'll leave first. I won't agree to work matters."
After she finished speaking, she looked up at Ye Yan and said softly: "Goodbye."
She stepped on high heels and stubbornly straightened her back as she passed by him.
Ye Yan froze for a long time. The phrase 'cannot have children' was always in his mind for a long time. When he came back to his senses and looked at the white figure, he felt as if his heart was being scratched severely by a sharp claw. It was scratched till it was bloody and bloody.
——
Shu Nian walked down the street in despair.
She felt like a ghost that had lost its body. This world is cruel. When she is in pain, there is not even a corner for her to heal her wounds.
Tonight, in order to match Xiang Muyang's height, he prepared a pair of very high heels for her. However, after two years of marriage, he still couldn't even figure out her shoe size. After walking all the way, his heels were already bleeding.
Shu Nian continued walking.
However, in the next moment, someone suddenly picked up his body from behind. When she came to her senses, she had fallen into the man's strong arms.
The man's strength scared her so much that she almost screamed out, but before she could make a sound, a familiar voice with a hint of darkness rang in her ears. "Don't be afraid. It's me!"
Shu Nian looked up and saw Ye Yan again. She was lying in his arms at this moment.
The original embarrassment suddenly turned into sadness at this moment.
The tip of my nose also became sore. The hot feeling in his eyes spread outwards and was almost uncontrollable.
Ye Yan's heart ached when he saw how stubborn she was on the verge of crying but holding it back. There was something stuck in her throat, and she held her tighter. She was so light, her whole body was like a feather. Lying in his arms, she had no weight at all.
Shu Nian bit his lip and didn't say anything for a long time, nor did he ask anything. He only held his shirt tightly with both hands. It's like holding on to a piece of driftwood when you're about to drown.
It wasn't until he hugged her and got into his car parked on the side of the road that her mood became more stable.
"Why are you here?" Shu Nian glanced around. Unknowingly, she had already walked far away from the venue. Ye Yan shouldn't be here.
Ye Yan pulled the seat belt over and buckled it for her. He was standing outside the passenger seat, half-bent, "I've been following you all the time, and you weren't alert at all?"
Outside the window, the moonlight was dim, and with the street lights, Shu Nian realized that she was surprisingly close to Ye Yan.
She raised her eyes, and his sharp features were clearly visible in her eyes.
In the past, Xiong Wanting worshipped him as a male god, but Shu Nian always disagreed. He was a ruffian, what kind of male god was he? So, at that time, she never looked at Ye Yan straight in the eye.
But at this moment...
Looking at him from such a close distance, she suddenly found that he was really good-looking.
His thick eyebrows were handsome, his eyes were bright, and he was full of youthful sharpness and domineering, as if he was fearless in the world.
"...Why are you following me?" Shu Nian asked in a daze. She didn't realize how long she had been staring at Ye Yan. She didn't even know that she was so close to him, but she didn't feel instinctively afraid.
Ye Yan didn't answer, but just looked down and fell on her feet.
"Are they worn out?"
Shu Nian was embarrassed. She never expected that Ye Yan, who looked careless, would notice this.
"Take off your shoes."
Shu Nian thought about it, bit her lip, and didn't move. Ye Yan bluntly exposed her thoughts, "It's your nature as a woman to be beautiful, right? You've been worn out like this, and you still care whether it's embarrassing or not? Take it off quickly! If you don't take it off, I'll do it!"
As he said that, he squatted down and held Shu Nian's ankle with one hand.
